Chapter 1010: Ice Meteor
"You..."
Seeing the Third Housekeeper Miao Tong being blasted to death by Ye Zhen, the Second Island Master Yang Ben was so furious that even his fingers trembled.
Primarily because this Third Housekeeper Miao Tong was very handy for him. He was adept at gauging people's expressions, and some ideas didn't need to be spoken; Miao Tong would proactively take action, making him very useful.
Most importantly, the Second Island Master had already put aside his pride to mediate, wanting to save Miao Tong's life. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen still brazenly killed Miao Tong right in front of him, in front of so many people.
Not only did he kill him brazenly, but he also directly shattered Miao Tong's Innate Divine Soul!
In an instant, it made the Second Island Master Yang Ben feel unable to step down, and he immediately pointed at Ye Zhen in the sky and started cursing.
"Zhenhai, you repeatedly kill our Yin Yang Island's martial artists. What do you mean by this? Are you trying to start a war?" While cursing, a substantial Killing Qi surged out, dispelling the smoke and dust in the mid-air!
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen responded with a cold laugh.
"Lord Yang, this really puzzles me! Before the challenge, your Third Housekeeper Miao Tong kept saying that if he killed me on the spot, let my brothers not cause him trouble afterward!
In the challenge, he wanted to kill me, the Great Saint of Sea Suppression. It's the rule of Jianghu; if he could kill me, it would be his skill! Even though he threatened to kill me, my big brother didn't say a word against it!
Now, as per the Jianghu rules, I kill your butler, and you can't take it. I don't understand, is your butler's status even more honorable than mine as the Great Saint of Sea Suppression?"
Saying this, Ye Zhen cupped his hands in a bow towards the Grand Island Lord Yin Yi, "Island Master Yin, the Second Island Master is such a sore loser, can't play the game, can your Yin Yang Island still mix in the Jianghu?"
Yin Yi's face had already turned as black as a pot bottom.
Honestly, with the Second Butler Tao Bofeng gravely injured and unconscious in a matter of a few breaths and the Third Housekeeper Miao Tong blasted to death in public, his face was extremely ugly!
Especially the earlier conduct of his Second Brother Yang Ben, the result simply smacked his face in public, making it sound cacophonous!
He also wanted to curse Ye Zhen harshly, even wanted to personally deal with Ye Zhen!
However, Ye Zhen was not a nobody. If he were, he could slap him into meat paste with no one being the wiser.
But Ye Zhen was a figure with background and backing, and quite a strong one at that, and he was present. By bringing up the rules of Jianghu, he had to acknowledge these rules, even if he had to swallow his anger.
Otherwise, if Heavenly Wing Island disregarded Jianghu rules in the future, things would be chaotic, making his head really ache!
At this moment, while maintaining Yang Ben, he also had to acknowledge this matter!
"Great Saint of Sea Suppression, you overthink it. My second brother was just impatient for a moment; of course, the rules of Jianghu must be adhered to!"
Saying this, Yin Yi glared fiercely at the second Yang Ben, "Second, have you lived all these years as a dog? Do I need to teach you how to act?
The ones who've lost have already lost. The important thing is the battle that hasn't yet happened!"
"Big brother, I... it's mainly because this kid is too arrogant, his behavior too infuriating, and it concerns..."
Of course, these few reprimands and responses were exchanged between the two brothers through Divine Soul communication, definitely not said in front of the crowd.
"Alright, this first match, our Yin Yang Island has lost. Next, proceed to the second match!" Yin Yi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Liao Feibai's body glinted with cold light, and as the surrounding temperature dropped a notch, Liao Feibai soared into the sky.
"Senior sister, be careful. When the battle starts..."
Before Ye Zhen could finish warning, Liao Feibai cut him off with a glance, "No need for your advice. Back in the day, wasn't it me who taught you how to fight and kill!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhen was speechless. This boldness, really...
Liao Feibai was the first to reach the sky, while the originally designated challenger, the Grand Steward of Yin Yang Island, Meng Dihai, a mid-ninth-stage Establishment Realm king, didn't immediately ascend to the sky to challenge.
Instead, he continuously nodded slightly, and the Second Island Master Yang Ben was releasing faint Divine Soul Waves around him, obviously instructing Meng Dihai on something.
"Old Meng, with your cultivation, there's no problem slaughtering Liao Feibai, this demoness, right?"
Meng Dihai nodded.
"Remember, once on the field, execute with a Thunderclap strike. However, after slaying, you must swiftly capture this girl's Innate Soul!"
"Capture her Innate Divine Soul? Not shatter it, just capture it?" On this point, Meng Dihai seemed somewhat puzzled!
"That's right! Heaven knows if they'll return my storage ring after losing, but having this wench's Innate Divine Soul in hand, there's no fear they won't comply, heh, maybe even... do you understand?" Yang Ben asked.
"Subordinate understands!" At this, the Grand Steward of Yin Yang Island Meng Dihai nodded heavily.
"Are you guys going to fight or not? You, a mid-ninth-stage Establishment Realm king, dithering about to devise strategies while challenging me, a third-stage Establishment Realm martial artist—do you have any shame?" During this moment, Liao Feibai started cursing in the sky.
Liao Feibai's scolding made a trace of unease pass through the Grand Island Lord Yin Yi's heart. How come Liao Feibai seemed so overly confident?
He'd never seen a third-stage Establishment Realm king face a ninth-stage Establishment Realm king so calmly and urgingly?
Meng Dihai's old face reddened, quickly flying into the sky.
Only on Yin Yang Island, where he was also the martial slave of the Grand Island Lord Yin Yi, was refusal not an issue; otherwise, today, Meng Dihai's reputation in the Jianghu would be thoroughly tarnished.
Mid-ninth-stage Establishment Realm existence challenging a third-stage Establishment Realm martial artist? That's akin to a strong man bullying a toddler learning to walk.
"Here I come, Old Meng, specifically coming to challenge..."
"Cut the crap, since you're here, let's fight!"
Liao Feibai let out a sharp shout, and a blue sword light, so tiny yet chilling at just a glance, suddenly shot out from in front of Liao Feibai.
The moment the sword light flew out, it expanded with the wind, and in an instant, transformed into a kilometer-long sword light that slashed straight down towards Meng Dihai.
At the instant the sword light slashed down, under its influence, sparkling snowflakes began to drift down from the entire sky!
In an instant, frost immediately congealed on the eyebrows and hair of the thousand martial artists surrounding the grand hall.
Even the three Great Saints of Jinghai, having suffered earlier, couldn't help but shiver!
A layer of frost fell on the eyebrows and shoulders of the two Yin Yang Saints as well.
However, at the moment they landed, the frost on the shoulders of these five people vaporized and dissipated in an instant, as if it hadn't existed at all.
But despite this, the expressions of Yin Yi and Yang Ben simultaneously underwent drastic changes!
With their cultivation, they clearly understood what this signified.
To affect the celestial phenomena, even if it was only for an instant on their shoulders, indicated that the power contained within the sword was enough to influence them!
If just the outer forces could affect them, then the main body...
In an instant, Grand Island Lord Yin Yi's heart felt as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss, sinking continuously downward.
Strangely, Second Island Master Yang Ben's eyes suddenly bulged in that instant.
His body suddenly stood up as he pointed at Liao Feibai's Profound Ice Immortal Sword, which faintly displayed golden patterns, his expression turning extremely ferocious, "You, how dare you..."
Bang!
At the same time Yin Yi and Yang Ben's expressions changed drastically, Liao Feibai's unadorned sword had already struck the head of Grand Steward of Yin Yang Island, Meng Dihai.
"Daring to clash head-on with me, isn't that courting death?" With a cold sneer, boundless Earth Spiritual Power suddenly lit up around Meng Dihai, casually sending a burst of spirit light to intercept the massive sword light emitted by Liao Feibai!
In Meng Dihai's view, Liao Feibai's ice sword light did look incredibly awe-inspiring.
But he truly didn't take it seriously!
After all, the difference in cultivation between the two was too great. If it weren't for being cautious, Meng Dihai felt he wouldn't even need to parry, as he could withstand the sword light with his physical body alone.
However, the earlier bizarre behavior of the Great Saints of Jinghai still made him take cautious defensive measures.
Simultaneously, a small seal appeared in front of Meng Dihai's chest; it was his high-grade spiritual artifact, prepared to obliterate Liao Feibai.
Crack!
A sound reminiscent of shattering ice suddenly rang out, and a layer of blue light abruptly fragmented from the body of the Profound Ice Immortal Sword!
In an instant, the extremely fierce evil qi emanated from the Profound Ice Immortal Sword!
In a split second, Meng Dihai's pupils shrank dramatically!
"Soul Artifact? No, it's the aura of a supreme spirit artifact?"
"Hmph, a supreme spirit artifact, is this your killing move?" With a thought of his divine sense, the earthy-yellow seal in front of Meng Dihai's chest met the incoming sword light of Liao Feibai, "The supreme spirit artifact itself is indeed worthy of being used as a killing move! Yet, it depends on who is wielding it!
A King of the Third Stage Establishment Realm like you, let alone utilizing a supreme spirit artifact, even a soul artifact wouldn't necessarily harm me!"
With a confident smile, the seal above Meng Dihai's head burst into dazzling brilliance!
However, the next moment, Meng Dihai's smile froze suddenly!
The sword light above his head suddenly split into nine extremely tiny sword lights, instantly shattering his earthy-yellow seal against the massive ice sword light.
But the nine newly divided sword lights fiercely slashed over a hundred times around Meng Dihai's body in an instant!
Each strike caused the protective spirit armor on his body's surface to flicker wildly!
Particularly among them, one sword light faintly flashing with golden patterns was incredibly sharp!
By the second strike, it shattered his protective spirit armor and struck hard on his back!
Fortunately, this strike was blocked by the full-strength mid-grade spirit armor he wore tightly.
But terrifyingly, an indescribable cold evil qi took this chance to seep into his body, instantly rendering him all over icy cold, as though even his heartbeat and flowing blood were frozen by this cold evil qi!
This was the ice fiend spiritual power within Liao Feibai, recently advanced, fully unleashed, with the Profound Ice Evil invading inside!
The Profound Ice Evil is something that even Ye Zhen, who specializes in Fire Spirit Power, must carefully guard against; if it invades the body even once, it's a serious injury!
Even though Meng Dihai was a King of the Ninth Stage Establishment Realm, upon being invaded by the Profound Ice Evil, his entire body immediately stiffened, and a layer of frost immediately covered him from inside to outside!
Yet, under Liao Feibai's continuous urging, the ice fiend spiritual power and the Profound Ice Evil within the Profound Ice Immortal Sword kept invading Meng Dihai's body.
In just an instant, Meng Dihai froze into a solid block of ice!
The entire person was frozen into an ice block, not to mention staying airborne!
Whizz!
In a flash, Meng Dihai, appearing just like an ice meteor, plummeted from the sky! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
