Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 75: Frost Sword
As soon as the two-hour rest period was over, Xue Hanfeng stepped forward without hesitation and took the initiative to challenge the cultivator from the Zhongling Realm who was defending the arena.
According to the rules, the defender cannot refuse a challenge from someone else.
"The twelfth battle will be between Xue Hanfeng of the Eastern Region and Wu Da of the Central Spiritual Region." The Green Eyebrow King announced loudly.
Wu Da, who had just fought and won, looked at Xue Hanfeng with caution.
"Frost Sword" is ranked tenth on the Yellow List.
Although his ranking on the Yellow List was not low, at 38th, he knew there was a huge gap between him and the top ten on the Yellow List.
"This battle is difficult to win. I will try my best to defend and delay as much time as possible, while also consuming more of his spiritual power." Soon, Wu Da decided on a strategy for this battle in his mind.
They are the best among Nascent Soul cultivators. They are proud, but also very self-aware and know how to judge the situation.
These two seem contradictory, but in fact they can coexist.
Without pride, you will lack the spirit and it will be difficult to achieve much success; without self-knowledge, you will be blinded by a single leaf and fail to see the big picture, making it difficult to discover your own shortcomings.
"The small world for this battle is the ocean world, so be careful." The Green Eyebrow King shot a light onto the Mountain and Sea Pillar, confirming that this battle was a small world.
Hearing this, Wu Da looked a little conflicted.
The ocean world is actually a place similar to the underwater world.
Due to the resistance of water, the power of a sword cultivator's flying sword will be reduced by several times, but as a beast cultivator, he happens to have a sea monster pet, so he can be said to be like a fish in water in the ocean world.
It seemed that he was extremely lucky and had the best timing and location.
Unfortunately, the swordsman on the opposite side was called "Frost Sword".
From this nickname, it can be seen that Xue Hanfeng follows the water element.
By this calculation, it seems that Wangyang Realm has become Xuehan Peak's home ground again.
Taking all this into consideration, Wu Da didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky.
The Mountain and Sea Pillar did not give Wu Da too much time to think. After a few breaths, it was activated and shot out two rays of light, completely covering the two of them.
The next moment, Xue Hanfeng and Wu Da found themselves in a real underwater world.
The sea water could not block the monk's sight.
The two men showed good fighting skills and immediately looked around to confirm the opponent's position.
At first, neither of them noticed each other.
It seems that this time, their random landing points are farther apart.
Wu Da's face suddenly lit up with joy.
In this way, he has enough time to arrange defensive measures and build a turtle shell.
Thinking of this, he first patted the spirit beast bag and released a black pig to patrol the surroundings and pay attention to the surrounding situation on his behalf, while he himself set up many barriers on the spot.
The six kinds of cultivation each have their own strengths.
When it comes to encounters, sword cultivators, soul cultivators, and body cultivators undoubtedly have the advantage, because their methods of attack do not require any preparation time.
But once it comes to positional warfare, the poles are reversed.
Magic cultivators, beast cultivators, and spiritual cultivators can all set up various spells and barriers in advance.
What can a sword cultivator do?
At most, you can polish the sword in advance.
But just as Wu Da set up the three barriers, a blue sword light suddenly shot out from below his body, thousands of feet deep in the sea!
This caught Wu Da off guard.
Because everyone knows that the deeper you are in the sea, the greater the pressure you have to endure, and the more spiritual power you need to consume to protect yourself.
It is well known that sword cultivators have weak physical bodies, so they need more spiritual power protection. In addition, according to Wu Da's estimation, Xue Hanfeng should seek the most spiritual power-saving way to defeat him.
He had never expected that the enemy would lurk in the sea and suddenly attack.
Fortunately, he had already set up three barriers before this.
Although we were caught off guard, we would not surrender.
The next moment, the golden light barrier, the water wave barrier, the Mingwang barrier, three levels of Huanling Sect's superior barrier techniques appeared beside Wu Da.
Together with a crystal bead magic weapon he used for self-protection, there were a total of four lines of defense, which brought the tortoise shell tactics to the extreme.
Xue Hanfeng, who suddenly emerged from the depths of the sea, remained expressionless when he noticed Wu Da’s determined defense.
Why would they dive deep into the sea even at the cost of extra spiritual energy?
Because he knew that as a beast cultivator, Wu Da would definitely release his spirit beasts to help search for his whereabouts. Only by walking on the seabed could he get close to him quietly.
Paying such a price just to get close, how could he not have anticipated the response that Wu Da might make?
The blue sword light was as fast as lightning. The sharp flying sword broke through layers of waves and hit Wuda, but was firmly blocked by the several layers of defense.
Before Wu Da could breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that an invisible undercurrent began to spread from around the flying sword.
Sizzle!
The temperature at the bottom of the sea, which was not high to begin with, dropped suddenly at this moment, making Wu Da feel as if he had come to a world of ice and snow.
The monk had long been immune to cold and heat, but this chill not only hit his body, but also his mind.
The defensive barrier he had set up seemed to have lost its effect in the face of this cold current and had no blocking effect at all.
Frosty mood!
This is the frost state of mind mastered by Xue Hanfeng. In this vast ocean world, not only has its power increased, but most importantly, its range has almost doubled!
The cold made Wuda's body numb, but that was not a big problem.
The problem was that the cold even froze his mind, causing his thinking to stagnate, and his spell casting became correspondingly much more sluggish.
"kill!"
Another golden sword light emerged from the deep seabed, following the blue sword light like a ghost, and headed towards Wuda to strangle him.
This time, the artistic conception contained in the golden flying sword is no longer the artistic conception of ice and frost, but the sword cultivator's iconic nuclear weapon, "Sword of Killing".
Killing and frost are both superior artistic conceptions, with no absolute distinction between high and low.
The difference is that the killing sword intent is far superior to the frost state of mind, and even to all other superior state of mind, in terms of killing people.
Which cultivator in the world of cultivation doesn't want to master such a top-notch killing state of mind?
But the strange thing is that the killing intent seems to be naturally fond of sword cultivators, and the chance of appearing in sword cultivators is much higher than that in cultivators of other schools .
At first, some people thought that it was because the sword cultivators were bloodthirsty.
But later on, it was discovered that even the evil cultivators who were bloodthirsty by nature often found it difficult to comprehend the secret of killing, so this theory was thus refuted.
Perhaps, this phenomenon can only be explained by the reason of preference.
Phew!
With the help of the killing sword intent, the golden sword light instantly shattered Wu Da's protective barrier that had already withstood a flying sword attack.
Then it went straight to his dantian in the abdomen.
All the sea water disappeared, the sky turned upside down, and the next moment, the two of them were pulled out of the small world by the Green-browed King.
"The twelfth battle, the East Region wins."
"Frost Sword's methods are indeed extraordinary." Wu Da seemed very relaxed about his defeat.
He bowed and praised Xue Hanfeng, then returned to the team of monks in the Central Spiritual Realm with his head held high.
