Capítulo 1178: Chapter 1178: Frozen ridians
Ye Shikai looked at the abandoned warehouse behind him, which was occasionally swept by a cold wind, “Quite desolate indeed…”
Thunk, thunk, thunk…
At this mont, footsteps echoed from inside the warehouse. The intruder wore a long coat and a hood, but judging by the figure, it was evident she was a woman. She wore a pair of won’s leather boots that seed… quite imposing.
“Since you’re here, why not reveal your true face?” Ye Shikai chuckled bitterly. He really had a lot of enemies. In such a remote place, ordinary people wouldn’t even co, and it was clear this person was here for Ye Shikai. However, the woman’s hood was too large; the edge of the hood completely obscured her nose, making it impossible to see her face.
“Miss, if you don’t speak, then I’ll be on my way. I’m still waiting to go back and eat.” Ye Shikai pretended to leave, but just as he turned around, a throwing knife grazed past his cheek.
Well done.
Ye Shikai sidestepped, but the knife still managed to leave a small cut on his face, from which blood soon oozed.
One should never hit the face.
“I rarely fight won, but soone like you is an exception.” Ye Shikai’s anger flared up instantly. Did she really think he had no temper? Starting a fight without any explanation, although the importance of seizing the initiative in combat was understood, Ye Shikai wouldn’t strike without understanding the situation.
“Then go ahead.” The woman said coldly, suddenly shouting as she waved her arms, sending several knives shooting out from her sleeves. At this mont, the hood fell, and Ye Shikai could finally see the woman’s features. She was quite attractive, with a lon-shaped face, a beauty. But, how to put it, although as beautiful as a movie star, when placed among a crowd, her beauty would go unnoticed. Ye Shikai couldn’t figure out what kind of “beauty” this was. Perhaps it was because he was surrounded by exceptionally beautiful won, and he was experiencing aesthetic fatigue.
What drew attention most of all were the woman’s eyes, glowing with a faint blue light.
Ye Shikai focused on the dozen knives in the air, yet his body seed frozen, unable to move.
How could this be?
Can’t dodge.
In a flash of inspiration, Ye Shikai concentrated his inner strength in his hand, forming an energy shield out of thin air to block the knives.
Hah.
Ye Shikai released all the energy from within his body, creating a powerful shockwave that deflected the knives.
“Is that all?” Ye Shikai sneered, now it was his turn to strike.
“Breaking Sky Fist.” Ye Shikai dashed forward, throwing a punch. He didn’t intend to hit her face, considering she was a woman. However, such a woman probably didn’t rely on beauty anyway…
The woman lifted one leg, gently tapping her toe, leaning backward to skillfully avoid Ye Shikai’s Breaking Sky Fist, creating distance.
“Impressive movent technique.” Ye Shikai marveled at the woman’s speed in Qinggong, managing effortlessly to dodge his attack. Even though Ye Shikai was a battle-hardened warrior, it was rare to see such speed.
Ye Shikai began to worry. Could those knives before have been just a test? If that was the case, this woman surely had further tricks up her sleeve.
He couldn’t be careless.
“Netherworld King, rely so-so.” The woman sneered.
“Whether it’s just a title, you’ll soon find out.” Ye Shikai responded calmly. Initially, he thought the woman was there to assassinate him, but now it seed like she was only probing him. Therefore, he didn’t need to exert full strength, otherwise, he’d expose his true capabilities.
“Who are you? Can you leave your na?” Ye Shikai asked calmly.
“If I left my na, you’d probably investigate thoroughly, wouldn’t you?” The woman scoffed.
“Get ready,” Before Ye Shikai could react, the woman charged at him, reaching out with her right hand, seemingly holding sothing, stabbing straight at him.
Ye Shikai hadn’t used full strength, leaving many flaws in the move’s motions. However, it seed he was mistaken…
The woman in black completely ignored the energy shield condensed before him, charging directly ahead like a frenzied shark targeting its prey.
Damn.
Ye Shikai hastily sidestepped, attempting to avoid the woman’s stab, but it was too late. He felt a coldness in his shoulder, then his entire arm lost sensation.
At that mont, Ye Shikai finally saw the woman’s weapon. It was… an ice spike.
Unlike an ice hoe, this was a bare “ice spike.” Yet in this weather, where did an ice spike co from? Moreover, how could a re ice spike penetrate his body?
Not only that, after being struck by the ice spike, a powerful chill followed the wound, freezing his arm’s ridians. Until now, his arm still lacked sensation.
Curse it, he was careless.
Ye Shikai retrieved the Fire Elent from the Storage Ring, activated his inner strength. Unlike the Water Elent, the Fire Elent contained extre Yang energy, which should neutralize the chill in his arm.
Ssss.
Ye Shikai felt sowhat annoyed; he had underestimated her, the woman in front was indeed a powerful cultivator. Nevertheless… Ye Shikai was sure he’d never seen her before. Who was she?
“Who exactly are you?” Ye Shikai asked seriously. This woman, like Ji Qian, also practiced the extrely Yin and soft inner strength. Her inner strength was profound enough to condense into an ice spike, comparable to the Water Elent without any inferiority. This sort of strength, if unprepared, would certainly cause severe injury.
Within a few breaths, Ye Shikai’s arm recovered considerably. If he hadn’t had the Fire Elent with him, he’d have been dood today.
“You better leave East Sea now, or… you’ll suffer for it.” The woman in black snorted, turning to leave.
“Stop.” Ye Shikai shouted sternly. Was she really just going to co and leave as she pleased?
“What do you want then?”
“You fought to your heart’s content, but I haven’t yet.” Ye Shikai chuckled coldly, channeling his inner strength and retrieving the You Xi sword from the Storage Ring.
“Hey, brat, you don’t intend to use the You Xi sword here, do you? Are you confident in handling it?” The voice of the sword spirit echoed in his mind. The You Xi sword was Bai Qi’s sword, containing fierce energy and extrely lethal, yet also imnsely powerful as a Divine Artifact.
“It’s alright, I just want to give it a try, no major actions.” Ye Shikai said confidently. The You Xi sword and the Netherworld Blade were both imnsely powerful, but the energy within the Netherworld Blade could trigger his Demon Addiction, so until that issue was resolved, he’d only use the You Xi sword.
