Chapter 409: Ice Sky Splitting Slash
Old Monster Youyun was using his hand technique.
Under the Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer Cultivation, his palm strike blasted out with an astonishing momentum.
Xiao Yi dared not be the slightest bit careless, as he harnessed his Primordial Power within his body to its maximal extent.
With the Frost Sword in his hands, he struck out forcefully.
A clanging sound echoed.
The collision of the Frost Sword and Old Monster Youyun's palm sparked fierce flames.
Old Monster Youyun remained unmoved.
Xiao Yi, however, was sent flying a hundred meters back.
Could Old Monster Youyun really withstand the Mid-grade Primordial Artifact Frost Sword with his bare hands?
And the Frost Sword was at a disadvantage?
No, there was clearly a surge of fiery light swirling around Old Monster Youyun's palm.
"Fire Cloud Gloves?" Xiao Yi's expression changed for the first time, revealing a look of wariness.
It was said that in some Extreme Yang Lands, a strange Fire Cloud could be found.
This Fire Cloud would stretch across heaven and earth, with its top exposed to the sun, absorbing the Extreme Yang Power.
Beneath, the Earth's Extreme Yang energy would float in the air, warming and nourishing it.
Above and below, both streams of Extreme Yang Power were absorbed by it.
After hundreds of years, the Fire Cloud had indeed become a treasure of Extreme Yang between heaven and earth.
In terms of rank and rarity, it was probably comparable to Thunder Attraction Wood.
According to records, many years ago, a certain Hall Master of Black Demon Hall had ventured to an Extreme Yang Land and forcibly taken a large amount of this Fire Cloud.
With countless rare materials and decades of effort, an Evil Artifact was created.
That was the Fire Cloud Gloves.
Back then, this Hall Master, with these gloves, dominated the world and brought disaster to the people.
Nearly no one could rival him.
But back to the matter at hand.
What Old Monster Youyun held was naturally not the real Fire Cloud Gloves.
But his Martial Soul.
Indeed, Old Monster Youyun's Martial Soul was the Fire Cloud Gloves.
Ranked as a Blue Grade Essence Weapon.
Though not genuine, its power was equally terrifying.
At this time, Xiao Yi was sent flying.
To the side, Wan Jianyi sneered, "You still say we're no match for him."
"You were also defeated in a single encounter, weren't you?"
Not far away, Commander Yee shouted, "If you know he's too strong, why aren't you helping?"
"Do you want to wait for him to die, then wait for your own deaths too?"
At these words, Wan Jianyi's face turned dark.
Xiao Yi remained silent, staring straight at Old Monster Youyun.
Unless something unexpected happened, this would be the most difficult fight he had faced so far.
The next second, Xiao Yi moved again, sword in hand, he charged straight at Old Monster Youyun.
If the real Fire Cloud Gloves were here, Xiao Yi knew that even with all his techniques, it would be difficult to deal with them.
After all, Old Monster Youyun held the considerable advantage of Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer Cultivation.
But this was merely a Martial Soul; Xiao Yi, while wary, was not truly afraid.
He was no longer that kid at Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer.
With his Earth Origin Ninth Layer Cultivation, commanding Primordial Power, and the almost fully filled terrifying Qi Spring of three thousand three hundred and thirty-three feet long.
Coupled with the amplification of the Mid-grade Primordial Artifact Frost Sword.
His true combat strength was hard to measure.
At this moment, seeing Xiao Yi approaching, Old Monster Youyun sneered with contempt, "Overestimating yourself."
However, the next second, an extreme and terrifying chill seized Old Monster Youyun's heart.
"Ice Cold Sea Covering Slash."
Along with it came a cold and forceful shout.
"Trivial skills." Old Monster Youyun's face changed slightly, as his Fire Cloud Gloves Martial Soul was about to attack.
At that very moment.
An earth-shattering sword momentum thundered down.
With its domineering presence, it imprisoned him.
However, the sword momentum only held him for a mere half a second.
In a true clash between powerful fighters, half a second was enough to decide many things.
For example, the Ice Cold Sea Covering Slash now hit him without any obstruction.
Almost instantly.
Old Monster Youyun turned into a large Ice Ball.
From a distance, the Ice Ball looked uncannily like a real, exquisitely sculpted ice sculpture.
Within the Ice Ball, Old Monster Youyun's figure and expression were completely frozen in place.
"It's done." The faces of Wan Jianyi and others immediately lit up with joy.
But before they could truly smile.
That ice sculpture suddenly shattered with a thunderous crack.
Icy fragments filled the sky, pervading Changkong.
Inside, the silhouette of Youyun Old Monster leaped out, his face tinged with slight apprehension, but more so with boundless fury.
"Damn it, you brat, I want you dead," Youyun Old Monster roared angrily.
Youyun Old Monster had been notorious for many years.
To suffer such a great loss at the hands of a young boy, how could he not be furious?
All of a sudden, Youyun Old Monster swung his arm, and an earth-shattering aura emerged from the Fire Cloud Gloves in his hand.
A pillar of fire soared into the sky, reaching the clouds.
In an instant, the high skies were ablaze with light.
The blue skies and white clouds all turned into a red glow, as if set ablaze.
The entire sky, in the blink of an eye, had become a sea of fire.
"Boy, I want you to turn into ashes under this sea of fire," Youyun Old Monster's face twisted with ferocity.
The complexion of everyone present changed drastically at once.
With the Seventh Layer Cultivation of Heavenly Origin, Youyun Old Monster was a late-stage Heavenly Origin powerhouse, already immensely powerful.
The terrifying power unleashed by this technique was unimaginable.
"It's over, it's all over," Wan Jianyi trembled a few times.
"This is the Fire Cloud Burning Sky Palm, one of the strongest Martial Techniques of Black Demon Hall."
"A sea of fire that could envelope a hundred miles around."
"Being right underneath it at the center, our death is certain."
The five Commandery Princes also showed panic on their faces.
"It's not over yet," Xiao Yi bit his teeth and gripped the Frost Sword in his hands tighter.
Just as he was about to make a move.
Suddenly, a figure leaped forward.
It was Yee Xiu.
"Not bad, it's not over yet," Yee Xiu said coldly.
"I'll cover your retreat while you all go first."
"What?" The crowd's expression changed.
"No way," another True Commander said, "Commander Yee, you're already at your limit facing Old Monster Youfeng."
"If we leave, you facing two enemies alone will surely result in death."
"Don't worry, I have my ways to escape afterward," Yee Xiu said earnestly.
"Right," Wan Jianyi chimed in, "With Commander Yee's strength, why would we need to worry."
"Even if we continue to stay here, we would only hold Commander Yee back."
"It's better to leave first."
"Indeed," Xiao Yi also spoke up.
"At worst, Commander Yee will just die, considering it a sacrifice for the country."
"You," Yee Xiu's complexion darkened.
"You what?" Xiao Yi said coldly, "Don't think I'm a fool."
"As for the matter of the Thousand Heroes Sect, I won't hold it against you for now."
"After the battle, we will settle our scores slowly."
After speaking, Xiao Yi brandished his sword and charged towards Youyun Old Monster.
Yee Xiu, too, took a step and soared into the sky.
However, Old Monster Youfeng, who had been restrained by Yee Xiu just moments before, was already by Youyun Old Monster's side.
The two of them, under that overwhelming sea of fire, let out a vicious laugh.
"What a bunch of fools, do you know why we, Feng and Yun, always strike together?"
"Hahaha..."
As soon as their words fell, Youfeng swung his hand, and a towering tornado appeared out of nowhere.
The towering tornado, merging instantly with the boundless sea of fire,
created over a hundred terrifying Fire Dragon Tornados, their destructive power striking fear into onlookers.
Yee Xiu, being the fastest, encountered these Fire Dragon Tornados first.
With just a single encounter, he was sent flying by the Fire Dragon Tornado.
"Puh," Yee Xiu, like a kite with its string cut, trailed a long line of blood in the air.
Another True Commander immediately moved to catch Yee Xiu,
but under the horrifying impact,
even he was blasted away, spitting blood.
When the two of them finally stopped their momentum,
Yee Xiu was already covered in burns, his face pale to the extreme.
"It's over, even Commander Yee couldn't withstand a single blow?" Wan Jianyi and the five Commandery Princes were shocked pale.
Right then, an icy voice rang out.
A domineering aura, mixed with the ultimate Cold Ice, spread throughout the world.
"Cold Ice... Sky Splitting Slash..."
Xiao Yi uttered in a low voice, forcefully swinging the Frost Sword in hand.
"Heavenly Rank Martial Technique..." Feng and Yun's faces suddenly changed.
...
