Chapter 629A - Killing Frozensky Frostfire
Frostfire frowned. He had an even clearer understanding of Qin Yu’s aura. From just a glance, he could tell that the formidability of this person’s will was no less than his own. Yet, he was a strange and unfamiliar face.
He sneered inwardly. For these old monsters that had lived for so many years, changing their appearance and even transforming their aura was easy.
But regardless of how well this person hid himself, once they fought he would inevitably expose his ident.i.ty.
He glanced at Mei Ruyu. This woman was beautiful and he had to acknowledge that he was tempted by her. However, he really had no interest in her for these past few days. Still, the expression on her face seemed a bit off…
Before Frostfire could think any further, Mei Ruyu regained her composure. She quickly nodded.
Frostfire frowned. “Move further back.”
Mei Ruyu respectfully bowed and drew several steps back. As she turned away, a look of panic crossed her face. She had a sudden intuition that right now was the only chance for her to continue living. Since Frostfire wanted her to step back…she would flee as far away as she could!
Frostfire loved enjoying women. But as someone who had reached his level of cultivation, he never wasted too much thought on these things. Thus, he didn’t realize the strangeness coming from Mei Ruyu.
He looked at Qin Yu and said, “I believe that through these many years, I have abided by the rules. I wonder where I offended fellow daoist to the point where you had to kill my subordinate?”
Qin Yu shook his head. “I do not know you.”
Frostfire furrowed his eyebrows. “At this point in time you and I are already facing each other. There is no need for you to continue concealing your ident.i.ty.”
Qin Yu lightly responded, “That is the truth.”
Frostfire’s frown deepened. This person didn’t seem as if he was lying. But since he didn’t know him, why make things hard for him? The situation seemed to be different from what he had imagined. Just before he was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by Qin Yu.
“Frostfire, please enlighten me.”
The aura within Qin Yu’s body instantly erupted. The air became thick and heavy as an invisible suppression descended!
Frostfire stuffily coughed, his complexion paling. “You killed my subordinate cultivator so it is within reason for you to give me a confession!”
Did this person think he was scared?
How ridiculous!
The pride of a powerhouse prevented him from saying anything further. Frostfire lifted a finger and pointed ahead.
Between the heavens and earth, the falling snowflakes fell into still silence.
He wanted to fight?
But in reality, as soon as he had arrived, the fight had already begun!
The still snowflakes were like nodes. The countless nodes connected together, forming a frozen world array formation.
And this array formation contained the great dao inherent within nature. It possessed an endless prestige and energy. Only by instantly erupting with a strength that surpa.s.sed its withstanding limits could an enemy break through it. Otherwise, they would be suppressed within until their strength was exhausted, the ice cold energy corroded away their vitality, and they died.
The world had already been frozen. Placed within, Qin Yu was naturally no exception.
“Frozensky Frostfire, you really live up to your name.”
With a sigh of praise, Qin Yu lifted a hand. As he moved, loud cracks resounded through the air.
Cracks appeared on the ice surrounding his body. Light twisted around him, causing his figure to become blurry.
Frostfire’s pupils shrank. He was someone who could see the greater picture from minor happenings. Qin Yu’s casual lifting of his hand proved just how terrifying his strength was!
This frozen world array formation couldn’t entrap him!
Frostfire sucked in a deep breath. In his heart, Qin Yu’s threat ranking rose to a new level. He took a step backwards and lifted a hand, bringing it falling down.
The array formation he laid down had no imprisoning effect on him. And, the strength he could erupt with inside this array formation was incomparable to what he could do outside.
As his palm fell down, snowflakes began to s.h.i.+ne and s.h.i.+mmer. They blazed with translucent light, connecting to each other and forming a giant palm.
This palm crashed down toward Qin Yu!
Qin Yu looked up, welcoming the palm coming his way. He punched a fist up to meet it.
Bang –
A deafening roar spread through the world, causing the earth to shake. The sealed stones floating in the air began to hum from the impact.
Countless cracks erupted from the point of collision and started to rapidly spread outwards, soon covering the entire array formation.
Qin Yu waved his hand. The cracks covering the skies immediately exploded and countless ice crystals were swept away by the wind, turning into a silver-white tornado.
Frostfire’s eyes shrank. At this moment he was able to determine that this cultivator standing in front of him wasn’t someone he knew.
Could he really be a newcomer who had only just entered the Sealed Stone World? But how could this be? Calculating from the point where he came into conflict with Song Zhongyi, less than a year had pa.s.sed. It was simply impossible to go through the test of sealed stones and travel all the way here.
But he was standing here…a burning heat began to rise in Frostfire’s eyes. This was a monster that had produced abnormal circ.u.mstances, and if he could capture this ‘monster’, perhaps he would be able to unravel his questions and obtain a lucky chance.
“Please remember. My name is Wen Congong, known to others as Frozensky Frostfire.”
Qin Yu smiled. “Fellow daoist Wen seems very confident.”
Frostfire lightly said, “You will soon understand.”
Although arguments were useful sometimes, the only thing that would ever truly decide the situation was absolute strength.
He took a step forward. “This was originally a card I prepared for rus.h.i.+ng into the sequence. But, my instincts tell me that I won’t regret using it on you.
“For me to survive until today and reach my current level of cultivation, it was because in several critical moments I made a decision based upon my instincts. I hope that this time my instincts are still right…then, please die.”
Frostfire lifted a hand. Faint traces of ice flowed out from his fingers, weaving together into an ice spear.
As the ice spear condensed, Frostfire’s face rapidly paled. The hand that held onto the spear also began to be covered in snow and ice, quickly spreading up along his arm.
For a technique to harm the user through a backlash, especially for someone like Frostfire whose cultivation had reached profound levels, the might of this ice spear could be imagined.
Even though it hadn’t yet been shot out, Qin Yu still felt as if he had been thrust into an ice cave. A terrifying chill continued to spread into his bones and even his soul began to s.h.i.+ver…this wasn’t fear, but a reaction to the absolute cold in the air.
Frostfire took a step forward. He bent his knee, leaned backwards, and lifted his arm into position.
Whoosh –
The ice spear was like an illusion. It instantly pierced through s.p.a.ce, arriving right in front of Qin Yu’s body.
In the void behind, the phantom of a world of ice and snow appeared. It was pure white in color and one could see its end with a single glance. A ma.s.sive snow mountain stood there, cold and proud, piercing through the skies.
This single strike was able to affect reality and weave together the projection of a world. This was what happened when strength reached the extreme.
Qin Yu’s eyes widened. He shouted out loud and took a step forward, punching out his fist.
Roar –
A deep howl suddenly reverberated through the Sealed Stone World. It seemed to cross the endless river of s.p.a.ce and time to arrive here, carrying with it an endlessly desolate aura of vicissitudes.
Unwilling, unyielding, never giving up, fighting with the heavens and earth!
A terrifying figure appeared behind Qin Yu. Its feet stood steady upon the earth and its head reached into the skies. Its eyes were like stars and its aura was violent and magnificent, looking down upon the world with disdain.
With its movements in sync with Qin Yu’s, the terrifying figure raised a hand. An incomparably large fist punched forward like a moving mountain.
The inheritance of the ancient race!
The strength of this inheritance had been in a deeply slumbering condition to begin with. This was because Qin Yu’s current cultivation wasn’t yet sufficient to activate it.
But after the ancients’ inheritance fought together with the will of the War Clan’s Fifth Chief and fused together, both sides had transformed into a strength that Qin Yu could wield. And, the strength of the ancients’ inheritance had been unsealed.
The incarnation of the ancient race was an ultimate combat form. To avoid exposing his status as an ancient, Qin Yu wouldn’t use this ability unless it was a crucial moment.
But this didn’t mean he couldn’t utilize the strength of the ancients’ inheritance. For instance, this simple-seeming fist actually summoned the phantom of an ancient ancestor, and by combining one’s strength into this fist, the power behind it was equally astonis.h.i.+ng!
The ice spear violently trembled. The cries superimposed upon each other until they became a sad and shrill scream. Tiny cracks began to appear on the spear point, rapidly spreading upwards until they covered the entire spear shaft.
“That’s impossible!” Frostfire roared in shocked anger.
Bang –
The ice spear exploded. The world of snow and ice behind it began to collapse and disintegrate.
The snow mountain that pierced into the skies was severed in half. The endless fields of snow transformed into raging black seas.
Qin Yu’s eyes shrank. This was because in this world phantom that was being destroyed, he could see the existence of life.
It was a giant ice crystal mountain. It roared as it flew out from a shattered iceberg. Its ma.s.sive eyes were filled with anger and fear. It swung its tail about as it raced into the skies and tried to escape this world that was being destroyed. But in the end, it was swept into the collapsing s.p.a.ce.
This was only a world phantom formed by supernatural arts, so how could there be life living within? But now was not the time to be thinking about such things. Qin Yu’s eyes flashed and he suppressed these thoughts. He looked towards Frostfire, a cold light s.h.i.+ning in his pupils.
He never minded killing, especially when it came to his enemies. To not kill his enemies when he had the chance was an immensely irresponsible action against his own life.
At this time Frostfire had an incomparably pitiful appearance. The ice spear had shattered and the world of ice and snow had been destroyed. As a result, he suffered a horrifying backlash.
Blood gushed out from every orifice of his head. The thick red liquid was smudged across his face, making him appear even more pathetic and pitiful.
He welcomed Qin Yu’s gaze. Frostfire stiffened. An unprecedented shadow seemed to loom over him.
A yin chill, the aura of despair – all of it gathered together and finally turned into an extremely rich flavor of death. Frostfire wasn’t a stranger to this taste, but today was different…he had a sudden feeling that he wouldn’t be able to escape today’s tribulation.
All the experiences he had gone through in his life began to rapidly flash through his mind. Frostfire stood up and straightened himself. His eyes were incomparably bright, like two blazing bonfires.
As a Calamity Immortal cultivator, a powerhouse who had dominated the Sealed Stone World for hundreds of thousands of years, he had his own pride and dignity. Even if his death was imminent, he couldn’t allow himself to appear humble and small.
Since he was going to die, then he would die gloriously. He would use all his strength to leave one last perfect mark on his life.
