"Minor tricks, daring to make a fool of yourself in public?"
On the platform, Feng Hang would never admit Yun Xiao’s formidable strength. He believed that the youngster had rely employed a unique movent technique unexpectedly, leaving no chance for a second escape.
As the cold voice dropped, Feng Hang acted without the slightest hesitation. He suddenly flung his Cold Light Axe out of his hand, transforming it into a beam of cold light that furiously struck towards Yun Xiao, who dodged several ters away.
Having been caught off-guard once, how could Yun Xiao allow the Cold Light Axe to hit him again? However, just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly noticed a burst of ice-cold Qi emanating from the axe.
"So this is the special effect of the Cold Light Axe!"
Feeling his body start to slow down, a thought flashed through Yun Xiao’s mind, secretly thinking that this low-level spiritual weapon’s special effect must be the ice-cold Qi.
Looking at the scene, the surrounding talented spectators under the platform couldn’t help but reveal a hint of envy and eagerness in their eyes, as they all longed to possess a genuine low-level spiritual weapon.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a burst of cold light erupted from the Cold Light Axe, instantly enveloping Yun Xiao. The outer sect’s longstanding talents, like Shen Xiao, undoubtedly knew very well about this special effect of the Cold Light Axe.
Especially Shen Xiao, the second-ranked super genius of the outer sect on the Mortal List, he and Feng Hang had been covertly competing for the top position on the Mortal List for more than a year, and they were quite familiar with each other’s tactics.
In fact, Feng Hang and Shen Xiao’s combat strength were equally matched. That day at Yurong Volcano, had it not been for Shen Xiao being first struck by a fourth-rank low-level Fire Spirit Snake, Feng Hang would not have so easily obtained the Fire Spirit Crystal.
"It seems I overestimated Yun Xiao!"
Seeing Yun Xiao’s instantly sluggish movents, disappointnt flashed across Shen Xiao’s eyes beneath the platform, knowing that the special ice-cold effect of the Cold Light Axe would reduce his movent speed by fifty percent.
It was precisely because of this fifty percent reduction in speed, combined with Feng Hang’s ghost-like body ridian techniques, that many cultivators at the sa level had been defeated by this move.
In Shen Xiao’s view, Yun Xiao would be no exception. Though Yun Xiao had just displayed an astonishing Zombie Body Technique and dazzled the audience, he knew that under the absolute suppression of strength, Yun Xiao couldn’t possibly dodge this attack.
Perhaps it was the pride of being at the early stage of the ridian Rushing Realm that made Shen Xiao think, if Yun Xiao could still win against his opponent despite the class difference, it would surely be a significant pressure for him.
Though it happened late, it was quick. Above the platform, when Yun Xiao sensed his body sinking like it was in a quagmire all over chilly, he knew he had fallen victim to Feng Hang’s trick.
The special effect of the Cold Light Axe was incredibly powerful, and the attacking cold Qi was abrupt without any warning, imdiately enveloping Yun Xiao’s whole body, trapping him in a strange ice-cold condition.
Whoosh!
And Feng Hang moved quickly; his body ridian techniques were unmatched in the outer sect. To everyone’s eyes, it seed a re blur before the purple figure reached the seemingly stiff Yun Xiao.
"Yun Xiao, you should be proud to have held on till now!"
Looking at the young man in front of him, his body emitting cold Qi, Feng Hang felt quite self-satisfied. Although his words were of praise, the undeniable pride in his speech was unmistakable.
Yun Xiao had been too conspicuous in this outer sect grand competition. Compared to the familiar strength of established talents like Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, many spectators were more eager to witness the rise of a dark horse.
During these few days, as Yun Xiao advanced step by step to the final battleground in the upper half region, Feng Hang’s ears were also filled with discussions about Yun Xiao, including so predictions of his defeat at Yun Xiao’s hands.
Despite wishing to ignore these, the rumors wouldn’t cease without the final battle. Now, at this mont, he finally vindicated himself.
A re ant who had joined the Jade Pot Sect’s outer sect only three months ago could not possibly contend with him, that was Feng Hang’s true belief.
He aid to use this powerful move to kill Yun Xiao on the main platform, proving to the many onlookers that even with the peak cultivation of the ridian Gathering Realm, one couldn’t match an opponent at the early stage of the ridian Rushing Realm.
Seeing his goal about to be achieved, Feng Hang was naturally proud. With so much attention on Yun Xiao, if he could indeed kill him on the platform, it would undoubtedly be a highly prestigious deed.
Therefore, Feng Hang didn’t show the slightest rcy. After closing in on Yun Xiao, he grabbed the falling Cold Light Axe and furiously struck towards Yun Xiao’s forehead.
Hu!
The sound of Feng Hang’s axe swing was felt even by Tan Yun and the others from afar. Under such formidable power, they could only shiver, powerless to resist.
Even though Tan Yun and the others were extrely astonished by Yun Xiao’s breakthrough to the peak of the ridian Gathering Realm, at this mont, their faces turned pale. If the axe were to really strike, even if Yun Xiao were as tough as rock, he would probably be split open by a huge fissure, right?
Almost everyone believed that Yun Xiao, augnted by the special cold energy of the Cold Light Axe, couldn’t escape the fate of being split in two. However, unnoticed by all, when Feng Hang swung his axe, a certain ridian under the left sleeve of Yun Xiao had already started emanating an icy chill.
"Ancestor Vein of Ice Cold, manifest!"
Seeing his life hanging by a thread, Yun Xiao roared angrily in his heart. Imdiately, the power of the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein in his left arm was stimulated, and a different type of cold aura erged from his body.
As this strand of cold qi appeared on Yun Xiao’s right arm, the three powerful Soul Elders from the north seats subtly changed their expressions, sensing sothing profound.
In particular, Second Elder Fu Du, the authority figure of the Poison Vein sector of the Jade Pot Sect, when he sensed the cold qi emitted by Yun Xiao, found it strangely similar to the ridian Spirit of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad he had recently refined. A peculiar gleam shot through his aged eyes.
"This kid, he really turned misfortune into a blessing!"
With Fu Du’s powerful Soul Strength, he figured out certain things in an instant. The interest in his eyes towards Yun Xiao intensified even more, with a hint of eagerness.
With Fu Du’s soul power, he could naturally sense that it was Yun Xiao’s second Ancestor Vein, which was also an Ice Cold Ancestor Vein. The ice cold aura within was almost identical in origin to the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad he had refined.
From this, Fu Du could infer that Yun Xiao’s body, immune to a hundred poisons, must have been frozen into an ice sculpture by the poison of the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad. However, this kid sohow survived and now has even activated an Ice Cold Ancestor Vein.
"This... is this the Cold Ice Ancestor Vein? How is that possible?"
On the contrary, Lu Zhan, the Great Elder who was unaware of the situation, stood up abruptly when he sensed that Ancestor Vein’s ice cold qi, his murmuring revealing his imnse shock.
Previously, Lu Zhan had been inford by the disciple Mo Qing that Yun Xiao was a genuine ridian Refining Master who had activated a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein upon breaking through to the ridian Introduction Realm.
According to the traditional views of cultivators on the Continent, as a ridian Refining Master, it was impossible to further activate a Cold Attribute Ancestor Vein, even activating a Water Attribute Ancestor Vein was extrely difficult, as the two were completely contradictory and could not coexist.
At most, reaching the Spiritual Vein Realm, one could, like Fu Du, refine so Ice Cold Attribute ridian Spirits for personal use. And even a formidable Poison Vein Master like Fu Du was tornted by the Three Yin ridians to the brink of death.
That’s the consequence for a Fire Attribute ridian Refining Master when Cold Poison enters the body; even a strong cultivator in the Spiritual Vein Realm like Fu Du would be tortured to near death by the invading Cold Poison, let alone a ridian Gathering Realm cultivator like Yun Xiao.
At this mont, both Lu Zhan and Su He, unaware of the truth, had their eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe what they were seeing.
Yet, a mont later, their sensing beca clearer because, at that instant, on the main central platform, Yun Xiao had fully stimulated the power of the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein.
On the central main platform, as Yun Xiao was enveloped in the ice cold effect of the Cold Light Axe, Feng Hang was confidently thinking that this powerful axe strike would surely split Yun Xiao’s head open, letting those Outer Disciples know who was truly the most talented individual of the Jade Pot Sect’s Outer Sect.
"Hmm?"
Just as Feng Hang swung down furiously, aiming to shatter Yun Xiao’s forehead, he suddenly discovered that his downward-swinging Cold Light Axe was restrained by a mysterious force, unable to progress any further.
Feng Hang looked up, and just like the spectating prodigies below the platform, he saw his Cold Light Axe firmly clutched by Yun Xiao’s hands, caught in this critical mont of life and death.
Confident in his own physical strength, along with the support of the ridian Rushing Realm Early Stage ridian Qi, Feng Hang was very confident. He believed that even Shen Xiao, who was also at the ridian Rushing Realm Early Stage, couldn’t have the power to turn the situation around.
Yet at this mont, Yun Xiao managed to do just that. The icy qi from the Cold Light Axe did montarily slow his movents, but it was only for an instant. The next mont, he had firmly clutched the powerfully descending Cold Light Axe.
If it were just about comparing physical strength, Feng Hang had already experienced it and admitted that he might not be much stronger than Yun Xiao. But he was confident in the special cold qi of the Cold Light Axe, under such circumstances, Yun Xiao should have been unable to react in ti.
