Death Grip
Two powerful attacks collided, creating a terrifying shockwave mixed with thunder and lightning that instantly spread out, engulfing Xue Hongyu and Duan Xingyan.
The raging thunder in the Thunder Pool wreaked havoc, stirring up an endless thunderstorm. Below, Xing Chen and the others watched with grave expressions at the two figures barely visible within the storm.
"What a strong impact; the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm is indeed formidable," Xing Chen thought to himself as he gazed at the center of the storm.
Beside him, Sword Sect Master Yan Haoxuan saw the situation and a flicker of joy passed through his eyes, but he concealed his expression well, ensuring no one noticed.
After a while, the storm in the Thunder Pool gradually subsided, revealing Xue Hongyu and Duan Xingyan. At this moment, both were disheveled and looked quite battered.
They appeared extremely weak; however, despite their condition, neither left the Thunder Pool. After all, the competition was not over yet. If anyone left first, it would signify defeat, and once defeated, they would have no chance of obtaining the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.
"Truly worthy of being the Snow Country Ruler, your strength is indeed impressive. However, I will be the last one standing!" Duan Xingyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Xue Hongyu.
"Arrogant words. I'll show you what failure feels like right now," Xue Hongyu said, a cold light flashing in her eyes beneath her mask. She suddenly thrust her crystal longsword forward, sending a beam of icy light shooting toward Duan Xingyan.
Seeing the incoming sword, Duan Xingyan displayed an expression of shock; he did not expect that Xue Hongyu still had attacking power left. Caught off guard, he was instantly pierced through the chest by the ice sword.
Drops of blood flowed slowly from his chest wound, dripping into the Thunder Pool. Duan Xingyan widened his eyes and slowly looked down at his injury. His lips moved slightly to speak, but before he could utter a word, a bolt of lightning struck him.
His body was instantly reduced to ashes; even his soul turned to nothingness. With his strength at the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm, even if his physical body was destroyed, as long as he could preserve his soul, there would be a chance for revival in the future. However, in this Thunder Pool, his soul had no chance to manifest before being obliterated by a bolt of lightning.
"Yan Zongzhu, I have won this match," Xue Hongyu coldly glanced at where Duan Xingyan had died. She then reached out to retract her ice crystal sword and looked at Yan Haoxuan, speaking up.
"Naturally, you are the victor of this duel," Yan Haoxuan replied with a smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Hongyu flashed away from the Thunder Pool.
"This Xue Hongyu seems much stronger than before. If he were to face off against his master now, at least he could escape; there's no way he would end up like this," Xing Chen observed as he watched Xue Hongyu leave. His gaze flickered slightly; through the recent battle, he could tell that Xue Hongyu's strength had significantly increased.
If in the past, Xue Hongyu could only be considered an ordinary Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert, now he is undoubtedly a top-tier expert within the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm.
"Child, I will not spare any of you. Once I kill you, I will personally seek out Yun Qing for revenge," Xue Hongyu threatened, his gaze towards Xing Chen filled with intense killing intent, showing no signs of concealing it.
Xing Chen's speculation was not wrong; Xue Hongyu's strength had indeed increased significantly, primarily due to his deep-seated hatred for Yun Qing.
In order to quickly find Yun Qing for revenge, Xue Hongyu consumed the only tier pill in Snow Country, the Frost Cold Pill.
As a tier pill, the greatest ability of the Frost Cold Pill is to provide immense power to someone like Xue Hongyu, who cultivates an ice attribute Cultivation Method, helping him break through his own Bottleneck.
Originally, Xue Hongyu planned to wait until he truly reached the peak of the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm before swallowing it, as this would give him a great chance to directly break through to Gaze of Fate.
However, driven by his urgent desire for revenge, Xue Hongyu swallowed the Frost Cold Pill ahead of time. Although the effects of the Frost Cold Pill allowed him to reach the peak of the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm, it became difficult for him to truly break through to Gaze of Fate.
"I was raised on fear; if you think a few words from you can make us surrender, I must remind you that you should see a doctor," Xing Chen scoffed at Xue Hongyu.
However, although Xing Chen outwardly appeared dismissive, he actually regarded Xue Hongyu with great seriousness. After all, given this person's current strength, he would not be much weaker than top-tier Half-Step Soul-Searching experts like Yun Qing and Huang. If he were to truly engage in battle with him, his chances of winning would not exceed twenty percent.
"Go ahead and be arrogant; there will come a time when you'll regret it," Xue Hongyu said ominously as he glanced at Xing Chen and the others before turning and walking toward where the people from Snow Country were located.
Next, many experts from Gaze of Fate entered the Thunder Pool for a competition. Surprisingly, Sword Sect Master Yan Haoxuan conceded without even competing.
This outcome left many feeling puzzled; however, thinking about the imminent acquisition of the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword made everyone quickly cast aside their doubts.
"There's only one match left in the first round; I'm really curious to see who is stronger between the emperor of Sword Kingdom Royal Family and the former emperor of Yang Kingdom Royal Family," Xing Chen remarked as he looked at Huang and Xun Hongyi, who were the last two participants in the first round.
"Brother X, they are both the weakest among Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm experts. Today I want to have a good experience," Huang stepped forward and entered the Thunder Pool, looking at Xun Hongyi as he spoke slowly.
"Hehe, actually with my strength, I shouldn't have qualified to fight with Brother Huang. However, for the sake of my Sword Kingdom Royal Family's reputation, even knowing that I am not Brother Huang's opponent, I must battle with you," Xun Hongyi said with a light smile as he stepped onto the Thunder Pool while producing a chilling long sword in his hand.
It was indeed the Ice Emperor's Sword in Xun Yuhuan's hand, the first Divine Weapon of the Sword Kingdom Royal Family. Although it was only an Earth-Level low-grade Divine Weapon, it held great significance for the Sword Kingdom.
"Hehe..." Huang chuckled, and a long sword appeared in his hand, which happened to have an attribute opposite to that of Xun Hongyi's sword.
Xun Hongyi's Ice Emperor's Sword was an ice-type sword, while Huang's Blazing Sun Sword was a fire-type divine sword. The contrast between ice and fire truly represented an irreconcilable conflict!
"With one ice and one fire, their battle is sure to be very interesting," the onlookers remarked with a hint of schadenfreude as they watched Huang and Xun Hongyi.
"Cold Earth, Frozen Snow Spreads, One Sword Freezes Ten Thousand Miles!"
Xun Hongyi, seemingly aware of the gap in strength between himself and his opponent, immediately unleashed one of the most powerful sword techniques from the Ice Emperor Sword Technique.
As Xun Hongyi swung his sword down, a gust of cold wind suddenly arose, and waves of icy air appeared instantly. Half of the Thunder Pool was frozen in an instant. In terms of this icy power alone, it could rival or even surpass the coldness found in Xue Hongyu's sword techniques.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, and a bone-chilling cold wind continuously swept through. The countless snowflakes at that moment transformed into deadly symbols that threatened lives.
"Blazing Sun Sword Technique, Sun Descends!"
Huang's expression became slightly serious as the Blazing Sun Sword suddenly radiated brilliant light. Waves of dazzling brilliance accompanied by scorching heat instantly spread outwards.
At the same time, two beams of sword light, one blue and one red, collided in an instant, producing a series of massive explosions that echoed continuously. The blinding light in the air made it difficult to look directly at.
Bang!
As soon as the two beams of sword light separated, Xun Hongyi let out a loud shout and swung down his Ice Emperor's Sword once more.
"Ice and Snow Domain!"
With a murderous glint in his eyes, Xun Hongyi's Ice Emperor's Sword emitted a chilling aura. The sword carried an unparalleled icy breath as it slashed towards Huang again.
At the same time, an imposing aura emanated from him, making him resemble an ancient Ice Emperor, looking down upon all living beings.
"Ten Suns Across the Sky!"
Huang's expression slightly changed, and then the Blazing Sun Sword in his hand once again burst forth with dazzling light, while he himself flickered and instantly transformed into ten copies of himself.
The ten Huangs each held a Blazing Sun Sword, surrounding Xun Hongyi. The Blazing Sun Sword radiated an astonishing heat, as if it were the sun itself, causing countless Snowflakes in the air to melt away. Even the glow of Xun Hongyi's Ice Emperor's Sword dimmed slightly.
"Is this still Xun Hongyi? How could he be this strong?" Below, Yang Yu looked at Xun Hongyi in the Thunder Pool with disbelief. In his impression, Xun Hongyi was not this formidable. Moreover, if he were truly this powerful, how could he have been bullied so badly by his own Guangyang Prefecture and Yan Haoxuan's Sword Sect?
For a moment, Yang Yu even doubted whether this was really Xun Hongyi. After all, with Xun Hongyi's strength, he was at most just a bit stronger than the experts of Yang Spirit Peak, and almost any Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert could defeat him.
But at this moment, his understanding was completely overturned. He could never have imagined that Xun Hongyi was strong enough to contend with someone like Huang, a peak expert of the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, without falling behind.
"No wonder he is a peak expert among the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm. His strength is indeed formidable; even if I unleashed hundreds of seals in an instant, I fear I wouldn't be able to kill them."
Xing Chen also gazed at Huang and Xun Hongyi, his eyes flickering. At this moment, he had already made up his mind: if Yun Qing did not arrive after the competition ended, he would leave as far as possible and absolutely not linger here any longer.
Boom!
At that moment, a loud rumble echoed from the Thunder Pool, and a powerful shockwave instantly swept through, causing both Huang and Xun Hongyi to stagger back from the force of the rebound.
