Chapter 523: Chapter 0342: Leaving Fire Breaks Ice (Third Update)
Ye Qingfeng’s gaze shifted slightly. Although his legs were sealed, his arms remained nimble.
He swung a punch, instantly shattering the ice block pressing in front of him into powder, but the cold air didn’t diminish in the slightest. In just a moment, it condensed again into a giant ice block pressing toward him.
His left hand remained still while his right fist swung continuously, punch after punch, shattering countless ice blocks, ice fragments splattering everywhere.
Yet this didn’t slow the cold air’s assault. Countless huge ice blocks pressed down on him. No matter how many times he shattered them, new ice blocks would regenerate.
The old man from the Tai Chi Sect saw this scene and sighed softly, "It’s a pity, Mr. Ye is doomed to lose after all!"
An Ruoqing, noticing Ye Qingfeng’s perilous situation, asked in shock, "Why?"
While shaking his head, the old man from the Tai Chi Sect exclaimed, "People only know that Long Yuntian is called the Black Butcher, but they don’t know that the Killing Fist is just one of Long Yuntian’s three supreme skills."
"The other two ultimate skills are Cross Training of tendons and bones, and ’Cold Ice Spiritual Energy’! What Long Yuntian is using now is Cold Ice Spiritual Energy. I just didn’t expect that after twenty years of accumulation, his Cold Ice Spiritual Energy has reached the point where it can freeze lakes and rivers at will. This level of commanding the heavens and earth can probably only be achieved by War King Warriors. Mr. Ye has no choice but to meet his demise!"
"At this moment, Mr. Ye is caught in the assault of the ice blocks. He’s relying on his powerful Spiritual Power to shatter them, but the ice blocks are endless. With every punch he throws, he expends a significant amount of Spiritual Power. When his Spiritual Power is depleted, he’s on a path to certain death!"
The old man from the Tai Chi Sect sighed leisurely, setting the final tone for this decisive battle.
An Ruoqing’s beautiful eyes widened, her heart filled with extreme panic, but she could only watch helplessly as Ye Qingfeng was crushed under countless ice blocks, unable to do anything.
"In the end, Long Yuntian is still superior, possessing such a terrifying killer move!"
The old man from the Xingyi Sect sighed, knowing that this battle was already over.
Many Ancient Martial Practitioners looked on with endless regret in their eyes. They were unwilling to see such a genius defy the heavens and perish over the ice lake.
Long Yuntian, having spent twenty years in the Extremely Cold Land, had honed his Cold Ice Spiritual Energy to the point of merging with nature, transcending the mortal realm. This method of freezing and converging flows in an instant was indeed incredibly powerful.
After shattering another gigantic ice block pressing down on him, Ye Qingfeng suddenly sighed.
He lowered his hands, unexpectedly ceasing his attacks.
Several massive ice blocks crashed down toward him, but he remained motionless, seemingly having given up on resistance, resigned to fate!
With massive ice blocks crushing down, Ye Qingfeng stood in the ice cave with no way out. Even with his formidable body, he would be exhausted to death amidst the endless ice blocks.
"Mr. Ye has given up resistance; Long Yuntian has won!"
Some young Ancient Martial Practitioners felt a perverse pleasure rising in their hearts. For Ye Qingfeng, such a talent, to contend with Long Yuntian at only twenty years of age, if he were to die in public, it meant the fall of a celestial genius. For many, it was undoubtedly great news.
Long Yuntian helped them remove a formidable adversary. Without lifting a finger, they could reap the benefits.
"No... no!"
An Ruoqing cried out heart-wrenchingly. At this moment, she only thought of accompanying Ye Qingfeng, willing to die together with him in that ice cave.
If it weren’t for Bai Wan’er holding her back, she might have already leapt onto the ice and run toward Ye Qingfeng.
"Long Yuntian, I admit, this move of yours is indeed impressive!"
At this moment, Ye Qingfeng spoke from within the ice cave.
He nodded gently, seemingly praising, "Your boundless Cold Ice Spiritual Energy, continuously generating ice blocks to attack the enemy, it’s indeed tricky to handle."
"However..." he lifted his eyes slightly, looking at Long Yuntian still releasing Cold Ice Spiritual Energy in mid-air, "Today, you will still lose here. I said it, defeating you only takes one hand!"
The crowd was perplexed; at such a moment, did Ye Qingfeng still have some trick up his sleeve?
"Facing death, are you still boasting?"
Long Yuntian didn’t believe it. Controlling the heavens and earth, freezing and converging flows, how could Ye Qingfeng break it?
"Hey!"
Ye Qingfeng grinned, and suddenly, golden flames appeared in his eyes.
"Leaving Fire... Burning Sky!"
He exclaimed in a low voice, and two tiny flames flickered in his pupils, exceedingly mysterious.
A flame surged from his eyes, initially just a speck.
The moment this spark appeared, as if nourished by some kind of sustenance, it instantly spread around, like heavenly fire blazing across the plains.
A golden pillar of fire erupted from the frost, rushing in all directions, causing the iron-hard ice blocks to melt and evaporate instantly.
Leaving Fire Golden Eyes, capable of burning all things, how could mere cold ice resist?
Long Yuntian’s Cold Ice Spiritual Energy, entangled by flames, seemed like a lit fuse rushing toward him, with a speed that left people dumbfounded.
"What?"
Long Yuntian was terrified, as were the onlookers, stunned on the spot.
Golden-red flames swept across the heavens, and before the spectators, there was a sea of fire. Long Yuntian, in mid-air, was directly scorched by flames, spontaneously combusting.
"Ah!"
The screams echoed in everyone’s ears, making them gasp and chill to the bone.
Amidst the golden-red sea of fire, only one figure stood proudly; invincible, like a War God of this era, fearless.
An Ruoqing on the painting boat had her expression suddenly freeze, leaving only that slender and upright figure in her eyes, with tears streaming down her face.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The screams grew louder and louder.
Long Yuntian, entangled in flames, found that even his prized Cross Training body couldn’t withstand the terrifying heat, burning inch by inch. He felt death approaching ever closer.
The Black Butcher, indeed a Black Butcher, gritted his teeth through the extreme pain, rolled, and fell directly into the lake.
A shocking scene appeared; water should extinguish fire. Long Yuntian, falling into the lake, should have doused the golden-red flames, yet this expected outcome didn’t occur.
The flames persisted, undiminished. Even in the water, they burned vigorously. People could see the golden-red mass constantly moving underwater.
"These flames... truly divine!"
Many Ancient Martial Families harbored masters skilled in Fire Techniques.
But the golden-red flames unleashed by Ye Qingfeng were countless times stronger than their Inheritance Fire; even water could not extinguish them.
"Ah!"
Long Yuntian leapt out of the water, yet the flames had not extinguished, leaving him in immense agony, the only sound in the world was his miserable wailing.
An unparalleled master, so wretched, the crowd’s hearts were filled with sorrow.
Ye Qingfeng glanced at the flame-engulfed Long Yuntian and chuckled softly.
"Alright, you’re still a rare Martial Arts Strong person. You shouldn’t die so disgracefully!"
With these words, he closed his eyes, and the sky-filling flames vanished instantly, leaving no trace. The flames on Long Yuntian also disappeared.
