"Boom!!"
Yu Shenfeng exerted his Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi mental method with all his might while in midair, instantly summoning a fierce snowstorm that headed directly towards Ye Wushuang!
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The violent wind howled, and the dense snow fluttered and scattered. Wearing all white, Yu Shenfeng suddenly disappeared within the snowstorm.
But the astonishing murderous aura that soared into the sky still blazed intensely through the snowstorm!
Mu Jinyu and the others, seeing this scene, all shuddered, knowing this must be Yu Shenfeng's signature move as the King of Assassins.
"Hmm?!"
Ye Wushuang, seeing Yu Shenfeng use a move he had never seen before, his expression hardened, not daring to be careless, quickly channeled his True Yuan into the Sword Pill in his hand.
With a "clang," the Leopard Gall Sword Pill unfolded.
Then, Ye Wushuang did not rashly strike with his sword, forcing the hidden Yu Shenfeng to reveal himself. Instead, he closed his eyes.
As if he were resigning himself to death.
Ye Wushuang knew that though Yu Shenfeng's move had changed, unexpectedly incorporating the advantages of ice and snow,
his habits were unlikely to have changed much.
If he were to strike rashly with his sword in an attempt to force Yu Shenfeng to reveal himself, it would probably be ineffective. The only way was to remain unchanged in response to myriad changes, to have a chance for a counterattack!
Time slowly passed, Ye Wushuang stood motionless in the snowstorm, his body covered with a thin layer of snow, he was almost turning into a snowman.
Several minutes later, a thick layer of snow had accumulated at Ye Wushuang's feet, covering his calves and knees!
"Sssh!"
The wind stopped, the drifting snow settled, time seemed to stop at that moment.
Suddenly, a bright, dazzling sword light that was painfully brilliant to behold appeared, like the sun piercing the sky, thrusting directly towards Ye Wushuang's back!
"Swoosh!"
Living up to his reputation as seventh in the Divine Rankings, Ye Wushuang also sensed the chilling murderous intent at the same time. He instantly opened his eyes, shaking off the light snow on his eyelids, and with his right hand holding the Leopard Gall Sword, he blocked towards his back!
With a "clang," accompanied by the sound of shattering ice, the chilling murderous sword light was destroyed along with the Ice Sword!
"Whiz whiz whiz!!"
No sooner had he thwarted the attack from behind with the Ice Sword than suddenly, the snow filling the sky swiftly condensed, turning into numerous glistening, lethal Ice Thorn arrows, shooting directly at Ye Wushuang below like a barrage of arrows!
Intent on turning Ye Wushuang into a sieve with one strike!
"Hmm?!"
Ye Wushuang just thought to move to dodge if possible, and to swing his sword to break through the sky full of arrows if dodging was impossible, but as he lifted his foot, he unexpectedly discovered that the snow covering his calves, unknown to him, had turned into a layer of solid ice, making it difficult for him to retreat in haste!
"Good!"
At that moment, as the arrows drew near, three feet away, Ye Wushuang knew he couldn't dodge this barrage of arrows' onslaught. Yet in his heart, there was not a hint of fear. With a sharp shout, he gripped his Leopard Gall Sword firmly, applied his mental method, ruthlessly spurred his True Yuan, and crazily infused it into the Leopard Gall Sword!
If it were an ordinary sword, how could it withstand Ye Wushuang's forceful channeling of True Yuan?
It would probably have exploded into countless fragments on the spot.
But since the Leopard Gall Sword was a Magic Treasure, it could bear such a surge of True Yuan. Moreover, as True Yuan flowed into it, it began to emit a brilliant, intense white light!
A terrifying power was accumulating.
"Boom!!"
Finally, when the myriad ice arrows were just one foot away from Ye Wushuang, he stopped channeling the True Yuan, and then he fiercely slashed forward with his sword!
In an instant, a horrifying sword light burst forth from the Leopard Gall Sword, initially only the size of the three-foot Leopard Gall Sword, but as soon as it detached from the blade, the sword light crazily expanded, becoming several dozens to hundreds of meters big in a blink!
"Crackle and pop!!"
A clear, crisp sound of shattering ice arrows rang out. From then on, Yu Shenfeng's two strikes, both ended in failure!
"Mediocre tricks, daring to show off in front of the expert!"
Ye Wushuang gave a cold smile and was about to break the thick, solid ice encasing his legs.
"Shh!"
Just then, the sound of a blade swinging struck from behind him, aiming straight for his back.
Ye Wushuang's face remained coldly smiling as he gripped his sword and turned around to block!
"Clang!"
A sound of gold-iron clashing rang out, and Ye Wushuang felt pain in his tiger's mouth, almost as if it was about to burst. His grip loosened, and immediately the Leopard Gall Sword slipped from his hand, curled back into a ball, and flew out!
"Die!"
At that moment, an icy voice suddenly rang in the astonished and furious Ye Wushuang's ears.
It was Yu Shenfeng!
It turned out he had been hiding in the shadows, and after launching two probing attacks, he personally came forward to assault Ye Wushuang on his third attempt.
Ye Wushuang had anticipated that he would lurk like a snake for a long time; hence, with his negligence, he did not use his full strength when countering and blocking the Ice Sword. This led to the Leopard Gall Sword flying out of his hand!
Ye Wushuang, half-turned, saw Yu Shenfeng draped in a thin layer of snow, holding an Ice Sword, fiercely chopping toward his own neck!
"Heh heh..."
The look of shock and rage on Ye Wushuang's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a strange, mocking smile.
"You've finally decided to show yourself."
He spoke indifferently.
At this point, the Ice Sword in Yu Shenfeng's hand was only inches away from Ye Wushuang. Hearing his words, Yu Shenfeng was baffled that he still had the courage to say such a thing.
However, suddenly, Yu Shenfeng's acute Divine Sense sensed a terrifying crisis descending!
"Master, be careful!"
Qiu Bai's anxious shout echoed from a distance!
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
At that moment, what had once been ice shards swept away by Ye Wushuang's sword had somehow regathered on the ground, forming sharp Ice Swords that chilled to the bone, and thrust directly at Yu Shenfeng!
The speed was incredibly fast, nearly instantaneously arriving up close to Yu Shenfeng.
It was as if he was performing the Sword Control Technique, covering a vast distance within a blink of an eye.
"This is bad!"
Seeing Ye Wushuang's technique, Yu Shenfeng was instantly shocked, not expecting that Ye Wushuang had already reached the realm of "All Things Can Be Swords," and had also mastered the Sword Control Technique?!
He dodged out of the way, now mere inches from Ye Wushuang, and in such a rushed moment, he probably had no chance to avoid this attack!
In a high-level duel, a single misstep can lead to complete disastrous, and Yu Shenfeng knew he was likely to be defeated!
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Hundreds of chilling Ice Swords mercilessly pierced through Yu Shenfeng's body, and upon penetration, they immediately exploded, turning into countless ice shards that shot towards Yu Shenfeng's organs!
"Pfft!"
Yu Shenfeng couldn't bear it; he spurted out blood and landed hard on the ground, convulsing a few times, his breathing growing extremely faint.
This was fortunate because Yu Shenfeng had amended "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi." The defensive power of his True Cold Ice Essence had increased; otherwise, if wooden swords and wood chippings carrying True Yuan had rampaged within his body, his death would have been certain!
But even so, he was left with just a thread of life; without a Miracle Elixir, he wouldn't last much longer!
"Master!"
Qiu Bai and Chen Xiuying, seeing Yu Shenfeng's defeat, cried out in despair.
"Die!"
At that moment, Ye Wushuang returned Yu Shenfeng's earlier threat with the same words, his eyes flashing with fierce murderous intent, as he raised his hand to tightly grip an Ice Thorn, ready to chop off Yu Shenfeng's head!
