Chapter 242: The Battle of the Couple (4)
The suddenly erupting Burning Star Demon Lotus not only easily engulfed Xia Qingyue's ice lotus but also enveloped Xia Qingyue. The unexpected intense heat caused a slight change in Xia Qingyue's expression. Her entire body's ice spirits suddenly erupted into violent motion, forming an extremely powerful ice barrier. The Ice Phoenix Brocade also rapidly fluttered, sweeping away all the incoming Phoenix Flames as she swiftly retreated.
When the Burning Star Demon Lotus completely extinguished, Xia Qingyue had been forced back over thirty zhang away.
But Yun Che did not continue with the relentless assault as before. He gazed at Xia Qingyue and said with a heavy brow, "I'll say it one more time: use your full strength. The you I want to defeat is the you at full power, not the current you!"
Yun Che's rapid attack, the power of his heavy sword, and the flames erupting from his body left Xia Qingyue not only astonished but also somewhat caught off guard. After several clashes, she was unexpectedly at a slight disadvantage.
Looking at Yun Che's eyes at this moment, she perceived a kind of pride ingrained in his bones. Yet this pride was not a natural arrogance but one directed solely at her!
This look told her that if she still did not use her full strength, what she would give him would not be mercy, but humiliation!
Xia Qingyue's chest rose and fell slightly. She closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again, letting out a cold, ethereal voice: "As you wish..."
A cold wind swept up from all around. The ice spirits around Xia Qingyue began to flutter chaotically, lifting her body slowly until her toes left the ground, and she hovered there silently, with only her long snow-white dress trailing lightly on the ground. She slowly spread her arms, and the long hair draped over her shoulders and her snow-white robes all danced gracefully.
The ice spirits danced faster and faster, accompanied by a rapid drop in temperature. At that moment, a blue light suddenly flared up from Xia Qingyue's body, along with a cold wind swirling that spread across the entire Sword Discussion Platform.
"Ah!!"
"This... this... this is..."
The sudden flash of blue light pierced Yun Che's eyes, causing him to subconsciously close them. He immediately opened his eyes again, but when his gaze fell upon Xia Qingyue once more, he was suddenly stunned.
The cold wind subsided and vanished, but her snow-white robes continued to dance without wind. The light veil on Xia Qingyue's face had disappeared, swept away somewhere by the earlier profound force storm, revealing a face so stunning it could make heaven and earth lose color and the sun and moon feel ashamed. Yet her eyes had undergone a drastic change—they were now a sheet of ice-blue, like sapphires gleaming with brilliant cold light. Her jet-black long hair had vanished, replaced by ice-blue strands flowing without wind, and even her eyebrows and eyelashes had become a crystalline, flawless ice-blue, flowing with cold light.
The ice spirits floating around her also changed dramatically. Previously, each ice spirit was as small as a diamond, but now they seemed to have transformed into shining stars. Surrounded by countless stars, Xia Qingyue appeared like a snow fairy born from ice and snow, untouched by any worldly dust.
"Ice... Ice Cloud Seventh Realm... Ice Body Jade Bones..."
The master of Tian Jian Villa, Ling Yuefeng—the current top overlord of the Cang Feng Empire—actually stammered at this moment. Watching Xia Qingyue transform into a snow immortal maiden, the shock in his heart was beyond description. He didn't know how many more surprises and shocks this seventeen-year-old girl would give him before she would stop...
Ice Cloud Seventh Realm... that was a supreme realm that only Lin Yuxian, the current palace master of Bing Yun Fairy Palace, whose profound force had reached the King Xuan Realm Level 3, had achieved!!
Genius, prodigy, monster, freak... at this moment, in Ling Yuefeng's heart, even if all these words were combined, they were not worthy to describe Xia Qingyue.
Ling Yun beside him trembled violently and was speechless. In yesterday's battle, although he suffered a crushing defeat, he believed that he had only lost due to that domain that should not have appeared. If not for that domain that defied the laws of profound force, he believed that in terms of pure profound art intensity and overall strength, he could overwhelm Xia Qingyue... After all, yesterday his Sword Spirit Avatar had completely suppressed Xia Qingyue.
But it was only now, in shock, that he realized that yesterday's Xia Qingyue had not even used her full profound art skills. And the profound force aura that Xia Qingyue was releasing now was even stronger than yesterday's—she hadn't even gotten a speck of dust on her clothes.
