Chapter 821, Ice Frost Spirit Palm

Translator: Silavin

 

“Huh?” A trace of astonishment flashed through Yu Qing’s eyes. She could sense that within the black energy, the aura emanating from that slender figure was rapidly increasing.

 

What made her heart palpitate even more was that both the black energy and that beast manifestation gave her an extremely oppressive feeling.

 

Within that black energy, there seemed to be an indescribable violent aura continuously surging outward. In her heart, she could not help but feel the need for violence rising, and only after circulating her Yuan Energy did she manage to dispel it.

 

As for that strange Martial Soul, a pair of silver eyes stared at her as if wanting to devour her alive.

 

“You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant!” Such methods would likely unsettle even ordinary Peak Stage Martial Emperors. No wonder he was so arrogant.

 

However, Yu Qing immediately sneered coldly. Though this made her somewhat astonished, she was no mere Martial Emperor, but rather a Half-Step Martial Ancestor even stronger than Yi Buyan!

 

Although Qin Yichen’s methods were somewhat strange, relying on these alone to contend with her, he was still quite a distance away from that!

 

Qin Yichen made a solemn expression. This was his first time truly exchanging blows with a Half-Step Martial Ancestor. Compared to Yi Buyan, this young woman was even more formidable.

 

Although through this period of cultivation, compared to when he faced Yi Buyan before, his strength had improved considerably, if he wanted to contend with a Half-Step Martial Ancestor, these methods still were not enough!

 

“Eight stacks!” Qin Yichen roared inwardly. Stacks upon stacks of Yuan Energy condensed, and an astonishing Yuan Energy fluctuations swept outward.

 

In the hall, everyone’s eyes gazed with astonishment at Qin Yichen within the light screen. Though they were not physically present, they could still detect how formidable the Yuan Energy ripples Qin Yichen generated within the black energy were.

 

However, even if that commotion was impressive, could it truly contend with Yu Qing, a Half-Step Martial Ancestor?

 

After condensing eight stacks of force, the Taotie Martial Soul behind him roared. Qin Yichen stomped his foot, his figure like a black lightning bolt shooting violently toward Yu Qing. Rippling with terrifying fluctuations on his arm, he smashed directly down at her head.

 

“Barely adequate.” Sensing the fierce wind beneath this punch ruffling her beautiful hair into disarray, Yu Qing only murmured faintly. Then, with a tap of her toes, her form did not retreat but advanced, sweeping toward the violently shooting Qin Yichen.

 

On her jade-like hand, white Yuan Energy coiled outward, ultimately transforming in her palm into a frost longsword. At this moment, the temperature in the hall plummeted, as if the space around her body would be frozen solid into cold ice.

 

*Break!*

 

Yu Qing’s red lips parted lightly. Her jade arm trembled, and that frost cold sword, as if about to pierce through Heaven, shot out violently, stabbing directly into Qin Yichen’s incoming punch.

 

*Bang!* Following a tremendous sound, an astonishing Yuan Energy shockwave swept outward, and the surrounding space was shaken until it twisted.

 

In the gazes of the crowd, that frost longsword was not as fragile as imagined. Instead of being broken through, it actually blocked Qin Yichen’s punch that contained a terrifying force. Moreover, wisps of cold energy even spread toward the arm wreathed in black energy.

 

Qin Yichen’s brow furrowed. Light flashed on the Taotie Martial Soul, and a devouring force swept out, swallowing all that cold energy attempting to corrode. Simultaneously, his figure suddenly retreated.

 

Eight stacks of force was actually easily neutralised by this seemingly delicate woman. This was the enormous gap in strength between them!

 

[Half-Step Martial Ancestors are truly difficult to deal with…] Qin Yichen’s brow furrowed as he sighed inwardly.

 

That strike just now would have required even Yi Buyan to treat seriously, yet Yu Qing had not even deployed her Martial Soul. Just by merely using her Yuan Energy, she had blocked his attack.

 

[It seems I can only go all out!] Qin Yichen smiled helplessly with bitter resignation, thinking to himself.

 

In the hall, the Northern Brilliant Hall Elder frowned. Although Qin Yichen’s offensive just now far exceeded ordinary Early Stage Martial Emperors, relying on that alone could not kill Yi Buyan.

 

“If you only have this level of strength, then prepare to accept punishment!” The Northern Brilliant Hall Elder snorted coldly, cold intent flashing in his eyes.

 

Although those old fellows from the Pill Hall shielded this young man, the Northern Brilliant Hall’s dignity likewise could not be challenged. If this young man had relied on his own strength to kill Yi Buyan, perhaps considering the Death Waiver, they could tolerate it. But if Dong Yu had secretly interfered and influenced the outcome, even if it meant offending those Elders from the Pill Hall, he must pay with his life!

 

“You understand the gap between us, so you’ve given up?” Yu Qing sneered coldly. She had originally thought this young man who spoke so arrogantly could give her a bit of surprise. She had not expected this to be all there was. Thinking of this, she felt somewhat bored.

 

Then, her jade palm slowly extended, and a cold arc curved on her red lips.

 

As her jade hand slightly lifted, that already very fair palm actually began to gradually become transparent.

 

Then, Qin Yichen felt the Yuan Energy in this space suddenly become chaotic. Astonishing Yuan Energy, as if attracted, surged madly toward Yu Qing’s location.

 

That overwhelming Yuan Energy surged madly forth, ultimately pouring into that gradually transparent palm. One could see thread-like lines resembling ice crystals emerging within that palm, gradually spreading throughout the entire jade hand.

 

That slender palm, in merely a few breaths’ time, became transparent like jade. Within this transparency, lines like ice crystals slowly flowed. It looked supremely beautiful!

 

When they saw Yu Qing’s actions, everyone in the hall’s expressions condensed slightly. They knew Yu Qing was not planning to hold back. What she was deploying was the Northern Brilliant Hall Elder’s signature technique… Ice Frost Spirit Palm!

 

With a Half-Step Martial Ancestor’s strength, deploying this move, it was enough to crush all experts below the Half-Step Martial Ancestor Realm. Even Yi Buyan was no exception!

 

From this single strike alone, one could determine whether Qin Yichen truly possessed the strength he claimed!

 

“If this is all the strength you have, then there’s no need to continue.” Yu Qing’s cold voice reverberated throughout the grand hall.

 

*Whoosh whoosh…* As her jade palm gently pushed forward, fierce hurricanes suddenly arose, permeated with cold intent. The ground was carved with furrows by this fierce and cold hurricane!
