Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Leng Wushuang walked along the pa.s.sage.

She walked fast. Whenever she pa.s.sed, there was a feeling of lingering chill as if the mist was getting denser. That condensed fog had immense power.

After some time, she arrived near the compa.s.s.

When she stopped, she saw a compa.s.s in the middle of the path. It looked as though it was left carelessly.

There were various spiritual fluctuations around the compa.s.s.

‘A remarkable method.’

These spiritual fluctuations seemed ordinary, but they gave a clear sense of threat.

Leng Wushuang approached the compa.s.s without any hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, she reached the edge of the compa.s.s. She immediately reached out and picked up the compa.s.s.

In an instant, the spiritual energy surged, and an enormous force swept in like a tide with every breath.

It could completely engulf her within a single breath.

Suddenly, the chilly breath spread, followed by a cracking sound. Everything froze.

In the blink of an eye, the surging power turned into ice.

Layer upon layer of cold waves crashed.

Leng Wushuang was like a leaf in the vast sea. She was about to be devoured.

At that moment, Nangong Huo appeared amidst the waves. “Leng Wushuang, you’re overconfident for your own good. You knew it was a trap, and you knew where the trap was, yet you willingly walked into it. You are the most arrogant person I’ve ever met. You are arrogant to the point of foolishness.”

Leng Wushuang smiled. “Am I really arrogant? If I weren’t arrogant, how could you dare to come out? If I didn’t enter the trap and put myself at a disadvantage, would you have shown yourself? By giving you hope, I was able to find you.”

“In that case, you shall die!” Nangong Huo roared.

Leng Wushuang looked at everything without emotion, and her aura surged. At that moment, the coldness in her eyes intensified. “Why bother? In my realm, you are nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot.” She raised her hand and pressed it toward the thousand waves.

Crack!

An extremely cold power burst forth and then spread madly. Waves that approached were frozen in an instant, and the freezing spread through the waves like an infection.

Nangong Huo was not surprised. He clenched his fists and struck the ground. “Break! ”

Boom!

Countless earth spikes rose from the ground and broke the ice. They shattered the frozen extensions.

Powerful forces collided and caused tremors in the surrounding area.

Leng Wushuang frowned. “You’re not alone. The power here exceeds your capability.”

“Hahaha!” Nangong Huo laughed. “Can you guess how many of us are here? Ten? Eight? Can you guess if they are watching you secretly and ready to attack at any sign of weakness?”

“Trying to fl.u.s.ter me?” Leng Wushuang moved lightly forward, and her figure disappeared like a gust of cold wind. She reappeared in front of Nangong Huo. As the coldness emanated from her palm. “How is that working out for you?”

The sudden palm strike made Nangong Huo’s vision blur. Then, he clenched his fists and covered his arms with flames.

Boom!

The two forces collided, and both of them retreated a bit. However, Leng Wushuang disappeared again and launched another attack.

Her figure kept appearing and disappearing and suddenly launched continuous attacks on Nangong Huo. He could only try to counterattack by using a thousand waves to defend himself.

However, the freezing power continued to suppress the waves.

Nangong Huo gritted his teeth, and flames erupted all over his body. He used his secret techniques and instantly caught up with her.

He also used his previous advantages to begin a counterattack.

His strength was formidable as though he had risen from the dead.

Leng Wushuang was astonished.

He was determined to win.

Under the waves, the two forces clashed continuously. One used fists to attack, while the other used palm strikes.

Fists and palms alternated, and their powers clashed. It caused deafening explosions.

The surrounding buildings collapsed as a result.

The pressure of the powerful forces exhausted Nangong Huo, but it also reignited his long-lost fighting spirit.

“Leng Wushuang, I have been through hundreds of battles and am still alive. You are destined to lose to me.”

Leng Wushuang took a step back and suddenly smiled. “You’ve gone through hundreds of battles? Is that something to be proud of? Just a hundred battles.

Do you know what I’ve been through?”

As she spoke, she attacked again, and the power in her hand became even more icy.

“I was born in a demonic sect and had to fight with others to become stronger.

One day, our sect faced a calamity, and someone came to exterminate the sect. Do you know how desperate I was? After being severely injured, I thought I was going to die, but then my master found me and took me with her. I thought I had joined a righteous sect, but it turned out to be another demonic sect. The battles didn’t stop. They were even more terrifying than before.”

Leng Wushuang’s aura surged, and she rose into the air. “Back then, we fought almost every month. I was weak and forced to fight people stronger than me, but I survived every time. After that, I became stronger through every battle. I emerged from a pile of corpses, walked through a river of blood, and killed so many people that it exceeded the number of people in my previous sect. The Heavenly Note Sect has ten top disciples. Do you know how we became top disciples? It’s because there were only a few of us, and over these decades of continuous warfare, we blossomed in the midst of slaughter.”

Leng Wushuang looked down at Nangong Huo with an icy gaze. “I don’t know how strong you were before, but sooner or later, I will surpa.s.s you. At your peak, you are not my equal. Similarly, at our level, you will be nothing more than my defeated subordinate.”

Nangong Huo looked at the woman in midair and felt shocked. The coldness emanating from her was not from an ordinary sect disciple. It was the result of countless experiences of life and death.

In just a few hundred years, how many battles did the sect fight?

Suddenly, Nangong Huo remembered that the Heavenly Note Sect had either actively partic.i.p.ated in conflicts or been besieged by others in recent years. They had indeed been in continuous warfare.

But the fact that others were strong did not mean he was weak.

Leng Wushuang still had to die.

In an instant, two immense forces erupted and shook the surroundings.

Time pa.s.sed very fast.

Jiang Hao was unaware of how long it had been.

He felt the strength in his body gradually gathering.

A significantly increased spiritual energy circulated throughout his entire being.

This newfound power brought him great joy.

Before long, his breathing steadied.

Jiang Hao emerged from his meditation.

As he opened his eyes, he realized he had successfully advanced. Without hesitation, he swiftly refined the remaining cultivation to strengthen his powers.

Having just advanced, his strength was not yet sufficient. Fighting without refining the cultivation properly could prove fatal.

Rumble

Fortunately, it didn’t have any impact on him.

After a while, he opened his eyes again.

‘Luckily, my cultivation has stabilized.’

Jiang Hao was quite pleased, though he needed time to familiarize himself with this new stage of his cultivation realm.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a powerful aura flashed.

‘An icy, cold aura?’ Jiang Hao put away the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.

He felt the chill in the air. It must be Senior Sister Leng.

‘She’s so powerful!’

He couldn’t help but be in awe as he looked into the distance.

The situation had escalated to a degree that might have attracted the attention of the Law Enforcement Hall.

After some hesitation, he removed all signs of his cultivation and reverted to his normal state.

His cultivation was now at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

With the Law Enforcement Hall, there was no need to worry about the situation.

If someone caused trouble, his actual cultivation realm was enough to handle it.

The immediate priority was to find a place to hide.

Moments later, Jiang Hao arrived at a nearby building and planned to wait there for a while to a.s.sess the situation. He would then consider his next move.

However, shortly after stopping, he noticed someone approaching.

Furthermore, he heard a voice. “Junior Brother Jiang, you are more difficult to find than I expected..”
