A young master from the Bai family posed no threat to them!
This simple sentence not only declared their stance but also clearly contained disdain for Bai Fenglang.
"Good! Very good!"
Bai Fenglang's face grew even more somber. His fists loosened and clenched, then loosened and clenched again, revealing the torment within him.
A ruthless glint appeared in his pupils.
The intervention of Wushuang Island and Longfeng Pavilion shattered all his plans. Yet, due to their esteemed status, he could not outright disregard them.
The situation instantly became passive.
Despite his reluctance to admit it, he had lost the first round of engagement.
And he had been utterly powerless to resist.
Just as Bai Fenglang was desperately trying to salvage the situation, to his surprise, Fang Junxue directly resolved these difficulties for him.
"Seniors, I appreciate your good intentions. However, there are some matters I wish to resolve personally!" Fang Junxue glanced coldly at Bai Fenglang, then smiled at Luo Xia, "You only need to keep an eye on those ancient martial artists. Leave the rest to us!"
Fang Junxue's words stunned Luo Xia and the others. Even Bai Fenglang, on the opposing side, looked stiff and disbelieving.
The other side held an absolute advantage, so why would she suddenly withdraw?
He completely failed to understand such a move.
But how could he know that Fang Junxue's actions were solely to ensure his complete defeat?
She could crush the ancient martial artists unilaterally.
And her other trump cards were just as effective.
"Junxue! Are you serious?" Luo Xia stared at Fang Junxue with her beautiful eyes, asking in confusion.
"Naturally, I am serious!"
Fang Junxue smiled faintly, "I don't know why Bai Fenglang fears you so much, but I will make him understand. Since I have chosen to return this time..."
Her tone dropped. The painful memories of three years ago surfaced in her mind, making her icy eyes grow even colder. "He has no chance of winning!"
This was her absolute confidence as the Ice Snow Empress.
"Hm?"
Sensing the aura emanating from Fang Junxue, Fu Tianxing and Luo Xia exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Before their contact with the immortal path, their strength had already reached the Martial God realm. Now, ninety percent of their internal true qi had transformed, and their strength had reached the pinnacle of the Fusion realm.
To put it plainly, once their transformation was complete, they might directly step into the Primordial realm and awaken Primordial power.
Yet now, after sensing Fang Junxue's aura, both of them trembled. This was an instinctive awe from their bodies.
It was as if the person before them was a higher being from a different dimension, looking down upon them.
However, Bai Fenglang, standing on the opposite side, did not sense any of this. He only heard arrogance in Fang Junxue's words.
"No chance of winning? Hahaha!" Bai Fenglang burst into laughter. "Fang Junxue, should I call you ignorant, or foolish?" He pointed at Fu Tianxing and the others. "I'll give you a piece of advice: since they are willing to help you, make good use of them. Otherwise, I'll show you how ridiculous your previous words were!"
"Bai Fenglang! There's no need to resort to such a low-level provocation in front of everyone!" Fang Junxue looked at him coldly. "Don't worry, they won't intervene."
"Hmph! Ungrateful!"
Although Bai Fenglang spoke like that, a sinister smile played on his lips, and he also felt a sense of relief.
If Fang Junxue truly had Fu Tianxing and the others intervene, it would indeed be troublesome.
"Let's not waste any more time."
Fang Junxue slowly took a step forward, emitting a faint icy blue aura. "Make your move. If you defeat me, all grievances with the Bai family will end. Conversely, I will personally slay you, and everything will conclude!"
"Hahaha! Slay me?"
Feeling the not-so-powerful aura emanating from Fang Junxue, Bai Fenglang's eyes were filled with mockery. "With your meager strength?"
Boom!
As he spoke, he stomped his foot, unleashing his full aura. A formidable pressure spread wildly in all directions. The ancient martial artists behind him bore the brunt of it, being sent flying without any defense.
"Ah!"
Screams of pain were incessant.
Bai Fenglang paid them no mind.
Upon observation, the swirling momentum radiating from him was in no way comparable to the calm stillness surrounding Fang Junxue.
"Father, are we really not going to intervene?" Fu Zhantian asked, gripping his spear, his voice solemn.
"Retire for now, there's no need for us to interfere!"
Fu Tianxing cast a deep look at Fang Junxue, then withdrew from the center of the conflict.
Luo Xia and her disciples did the same.
"Hongying! Go do what you need to do!"
Fang Junxue's voice was as calm as water as she spoke to Ji Hongying beside her.
"Alright!"
Ji Hongying nodded slightly without saying more. Her figure transformed into a red streak of light and disappeared.
Having spent so much time together, she and Duolisha understood Fang Junxue's strength the most. The extent of her terrifying power was beyond ordinary imagination.
At the same time, she knew that the true opponents on this journey were not the people they saw on the surface.
Therefore, Ji Hongying had to resolve her own matters as quickly as possible.
"Qiushui! Lin Fengxuan is not simple. Keep a close watch on him from the shadows. You absolutely cannot let Hongying get into trouble!" Fang Junxue showed a hint of worry.
"Rest assured!"
Bai Qiushui had also noticed some anomalies in Lin Fengxuan's previous actions.
For instance, the sect master of the Hantian Dao sect was actually a puppet controlled by someone.
And the person controlling him was none other than... Lin Fengxuan, who had been standing behind him all along.
"You also be careful. There are three pairs of eyes watching this place from the shadows!" Bai Qiushui added a reminder.
With that, she also departed.
Fang Junxue was well aware of the three people lurking in the shadows.
However, now was not the time to deal with them.
Bai Fenglang!
He was the first person she intended to slay today.
Some truths, even if unspoken, were already crystal clear.
"Come on then! Let me see the strength you are so proud of!"
Seeing that only one person remained opposite him, Bai Fenglang's unparalleled confidence clearly indicated that he did not take Fang Junxue seriously.
But the next moment, he realized he was wrong.
And terribly wrong at that.
Because as Fang Junxue took another step forward, her aura had completely changed.
At this moment, it was as if a vast, white world appeared before him. Even the surrounding scenery was gradually being buried by ice and snow.
"Ice Domain, unfold!"
