Chapter 518: Battle Bing Chengtian
In the Extreme Cold Land, somewhere.
Boom... boom... boom...
Three giant beasts fell thunderously, shaking the entire land nonstop, the booming noise deafening.
Large snowflakes stirred up like a snowstorm, their might astonishing.
An elder stood in front of the three giant beasts, sneering coldly.
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
Eight figures suddenly broke through the sky, respectfully saluting the elder.
"It is no surprise for elder Chengtian, to slay such a formidable demon beast like the Ice Netherworld Python so effortlessly."
Indeed, the elder was Chengtian.
And those three giant beasts were indeed the Ice Netherworld Pythons.
The Ice Netherworld Python, one of the dominant demon beasts of the Extreme Cold Land.
Rated at the Level 8 Early Stage.
Ordinary Initial Stage Extreme Realm Martial Artists encountering them would likely only be able to flee for their lives.
"Ha ha." Chengtian burst into a triumphant laugh and said, "These three monstrous beasts, my Ice Martial Kingdom's scouts have been tracking them for a while."
"This old man hunted them relentlessly for ten days and nights, they had no reason not to die."
"What about you? Have you completed your task?"
The eight figures bowed and replied, "Honored Grand Guardian, we have captured six Blizzard Ice Whales and eight Snowy Vajra Apes."
Blizzard Ice Whales, Seventh-level Peak demon beasts.
Their strength comparable to a Half-step Earth Extreme Martial Artist.
Snowy Vajra Apes, Seventh-level Peak demon beasts with Heavenly Origin Peak strength.
"Good, very good." Chengtian nodded in satisfaction.
"With the Essence Blood and inner cores of these demon beasts, along with the Ice Heart Holy Fruit, we now have all the ingredients for the Ice Extreme Pill."
"With the Ice Extreme Pill, the Eldest Prince will surely break through."
Chengtian, with his hands behind his back, looked toward the distant horizon, "That grand event is coming soon."
"Let's see who can surpass my Ice Martial Kingdom."
"The Eldest Prince will surely write his own legend in this continent."
The fervor in Chengtian's eyes was palpable.
The eight people beside him loudly exclaimed, "The Eldest Prince is unmatched, Heaven bless our Ice Martial Kingdom."
...
Half a day later.
"Honored Grand Guardian, Cold Ice City is up ahead," a person reported.
"Hm?" Chengtian nodded, then furrowed his brow.
Cold Ice City was indeed an Extreme Cold Land, bordering the Ice Martial Kingdom.
Simply put, Cold Ice City was a frontier city of the Ice Martial Kingdom.
At this time, the city was alive with soldiers yelling commands.
A person beside Chengtian responded, "Reporting to the Honored Grand Guardian."
"The news of the Honored Grand Guardian obtaining the Ice Heart Holy Fruit had already been relayed back to the Royal Capital many days ago."
"The King was overjoyed and specifically ordered the City Lord of Cold Ice City to greet us back to the Ice Martial Kingdom."
"I see." Chengtian smiled and nodded, quite pleased with himself.
However, his smiling face suddenly froze.
"What is that?" Chengtian frowned, looking ahead.
This place was still the Extreme Cold Land.
Outside Cold Ice City, the wind and snow danced eternally.
But at this moment, within the dense snow, there seemed to be a figure standing.
As Chengtian and his group drew closer, they realized that it indeed was a figure.
A man, a sword, blocking the way ahead.
"Xiao Yi?" Chengtian recognized the figure, his expression changing.
"What? Chengtian, ten days no see, have you forgotten me already?" The figure smiled lightly.
Indeed, the figure was Xiao Yi.
"How is this possible, how is this possible?" Chengtian's eyes widened, repeating himself twice.
"You clearly fell into the Extreme Cold Rift, how can you possibly be here?"
"No one can escape from the Extreme Cold Rift, not even an Extreme Realm Expert."
"How could you..."
Xiao Yi gave a cold smile, interrupting, "Nothing is impossible, Chengtian, hand over the Ice Heart Holy Fruit."
Xiao Yi had spent about seven to eight days in the Extreme Cold Rift.
Afterward, he flew furiously towards Cold Ice City.
He had assumed that, given Bing Chengtian's strength, he had likely already returned to the Ice Martial Kingdom.
He had also prepared to enter the Ice Martial Kingdom and retrieve the Ice Heart Holy Fruit.
However, to his surprise, several hours earlier, he had stumbled upon Bing Chengtian's aura in a perilous place along his journey.
Following the trail, he had managed to intercept Bing Chengtian just before he could return to the Ice Martial Kingdom.
"Kid, I must say, you've got guts," Bing Chengtian had regained his composure from the initial shock and let out a cold sneer.
"This is not your Flame Martial Kingdom."
"You, a castaway from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, what right do you have to be insolent before me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi shook his head, "It seems you are unwilling to return the Ice Heart Holy Fruit."
"If that's the case, I can only take it back myself."
As soon as the words fell, a murderous intent flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.
His Blizzard Sword in hand, he pointed it coldly.
"Hmph, if you have the ability, come and take it," Bing Chengtian scoffed disdainfully.
As the smile appeared, a terrifying Sword Qi was already headed towards him instantly.
"Overestimating your abilities." Bing Chengtian sneered, casually blocking it.
With a loud bang,
Bing Chengtian's palm collided with the Sword Qi, producing a thunderous roar.
A force suddenly burst forth from it.
"Huh?" Bing Chengtian's face changed suddenly.
"Move aside quickly." Bing Chengtian blocked the Sword Qi with one hand and with a heavy swing of his other hand, sent eight people beside him flying.
Bang, as the Sword Qi fully erupted.
Within a hundred meters around Bing Chengtian, everything turned to dust.
The eight who had been blown away looked terrified.
"Such powerful Sword Qi," the eight stared at Xiao Yi in the distance, their faces filled with shock.
On Bing Chengtian's side, he was also staring intently at Xiao Yi, "Martial Arts Power? You've actually mastered Martial Arts Power?"
Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh.
Indeed, that sword strike just now was an Ice Sky Splitting Slash infused with Martial Arts Power.
Martial Arts Power, being a Heaven and Earth Power, is naturally mighty.
"Ten days ago, you were merely at Earth Origin Ninth Layer Cultivation," Bing Chengtian said coldly as he observed Xiao Yi.
"Ten days later, not only are you at Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer Cultivation, you've also mastered Martial Arts Power."
"It seems in the Extreme Cold Rift, you not only survived a great disaster but also obtained a significant opportunity."
"That opportunity must have been what allowed you to escape the Extreme Cold Rift."
Bing Chengtian, as an Extreme Realm Expert, had easily guessed that Xiao Yi had obtained an opportunity.
Although he didn't know what kind of opportunity Xiao Yi had gotten,
it was certainly no ordinary one.
A glint of greed flashed through Bing Chengtian's eyes.
"Blizzard Sword, Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor, Five Hundred Pounds of Cold Ice Marrow, they're all on you," Bing Chengtian muttered savagely.
"And that unknown opportunity."
"Hahaha."
Bing Chengtian laughed proudly, "I didn't expect that before returning to the Ice Martial Kingdom, I would gain such a harvest."
With that said, Bing Chengtian made his move instantly.
"Xiao Yi, do you really think that by mastering Martial Arts Power, you qualify to compete against me?"
A terrifying Palm Wind from Bing Chengtian's hand suddenly struck.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, and his Blizzard Sword slashed fiercely.
The collision of sword and palm once again unleashed a terrifying force.
As the force subsided,
Bing Chengtian emerged unscathed.
Xiao Yi, however, was sent flying in an instant.
"Puh." Xiao Yi forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood, his face slightly pale.
"Hahahaha," Bing Chengtian laughed loudly.
"That day at the Ice Edge Conference, if not for the fear of the person backing you, I could have crushed you with one finger."
"You're barely at Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer Cultivation, even if your talents are monstrous, you've only mastered about ten percent of Martial Arts Power."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I am at Extreme Realm Third Layer, and I've mastered thirty percent of the Martial Arts Power."
"What do you have to compete with me?"
As he finished speaking,
A murderous intent erupted in Bing Chengtian's eyes, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Xiao Yi, striking out with full force.
