Chapter 261: Standing on Ice, Speaking to Kill

With treetops swinging against the wind and leaves swaying to the land, the red shadow quickly approached the Daming Lake. Neither the dense forests nor the cold wind could slow down the movements of the red shadow.
Ning Que and Mo Shanshan rushed down the meadow towards the other end of the lake. Although they ran really fast, they were still too slow to catch up with the Grand Cultivator in the Knowing Destiny State. The shadow of the Tao Addict, Ye Hongyu, had already floated out from the forests and fallen on the wetlands at the south shore of the lake the moment they got the north shore.
There was no threat of dialogues or negotiations. The Tao Addict looked at the two people on the other side of the lake, indifferently raising her right arm and pointing out his index finger in the air with a very light and slow breath of aura.
The Qi of Heaven and Earth above the slightly swinging lake suddenly fluctuated as if an invisible sword had abruptly cut off the beautiful lake and the surrounding mountains. After a loud noise, the green and turquoise water tumbled and flew to both sides with rolling white waves, forming a deep gully, which was about several-feet-long and seemed to directly be in the bottom of the lake.
The deep gully that seemed to have been cut open by an invisible giant sword originated from the slim fingertips of the Tao Addict, tearing the wetlands on the southern bank of the Daming Lake, the aquatic plants and fish in the lake, and the lake water without any formidable condition. Like a straight line, it pierced directly to Ning Que and Mo Shanshan on the northern bank of the lake.
Ning Que felt the horrible aura coming from afar, knowing that he could not find a suitable shelter at the moment even if he had turned into a rabbit. Therefore, he stopped and turned around without thinking too much and got ready to shoot a Talisman Arrow.
The iron bow was pulled with s strong power. The bowstring was as tight as his mood at this time. But he did not release the string as there was an invisible sword between him and the Tao Addict in a red robe. The aura of heaven and earth experienced a turmoil in that space, which caused an intense flow of air and even gave the light a strange refraction.
He could not aim at the Tao Addict.
However, that invisible sword had torn the lake and the grasslands at the northern shore, approaching Ning Que.
Ning Que loosed the bow to let go of the arrow and held the big black umbrella behind him.
Mo Shanshan had been standing beside Ning Que and silently watching the girl on the side of the lake. As the Calligraphy Addict, who was as famous as the Tao Addict, she definitely had a wired feeling as her counterpart had broken the realm of the Knowing Destiny State.
Maybe she wanted to get rid of the strange feeling in her heart or for some other reasons, she did not escape when she was facing the invisible Taoist Sword coming from the other side of the lake. Instead, she quietly came forward and began to write in the soft wind along the shore with her right hand, which was as white as a jade.
Two lines of very unhealthy flushes appeared on her face. Her slender fingers writing in the slightly cold wind shivered slightly. A powerful invisible talisman was born in the wind with a few lines drawn by her fingertips.
She knew both her original state and strength were worse than the Tao Addict. Now as the Tao Addict had entered the Knowing Destiny State, she did not hesitate to play one of her most powerful methods at this moment, Half Divine Talisman.
The lines in the wind shrilled, and then instantaneously collapsed into numerous extremely fragmented fragments. The talisman force of her fingertips abruptly compressed and turned into a transparent air mass in a second.
The transparent air mass and the invisible Taoist Sword encountered at the northern shore of the Daming Lake, suddenly creating numerous extraordinarily fine turbulence as catkins in the air.
The next moment all these catkins exploded and the Taoist force and talisman force, which was contained the compressed together, violently erupted around the clear lake. The lake surface suddenly startled as if the water had jumped into the air!
With a loud deafening noise, a large amount of the lake water jumped up and splashed among the green valleys. The ice, which was getting firmed, at the heart of the lake was shaken into pieces.
Responding rather quickly, Ning Que loosed the black umbrella, lifting the bow again, and shot another arrow with the fastest speed to the opposite side of the lake at the moment when the lake collapsed.
The air was full of thin ice and Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, it seemed that Ye Hongyu was able to see everything across the lake. She waved when he had just raised his bow. The thin ice, which had just collapsed into the air, instantly filled the space between the two people as if they had received an order.
Those ice cubes seemed to be more fragile when they faced the iron arrow with the talisman force. The powerful and terrifying Primordial Thirteen Arrow approached the Tao Addict after piercing all the ice like a thunderlight with crackling sounds.
Ye Hongyu quietly watched the man on the northern bank of the lake and did not escape.
The Talisman Arrow flew through her previously wounded shoulders, very close and even blowing the pieces of her broken red robe off. But it failed to hurt her. It flew into the jungle with countless sounds of booming. Many green trees were shot down by this arrow.
At this point, the water cut broken by the invisible Taoist Sword flew back and filled the deep gully with scattered ice floating on the surface like wild duckweed.
Ye Hongyu flew up with the wind and elegantly fell on a piece of thin ice, standing.
She was already a Grand Cultivator who had entered the Knowing Destiny State at this time. However, she was still not confident enough to avoid the Primordial Thirteen Arrows of Ning Que across the lake. So she did not evade at all but opted to disrupt the trajectory of the arrow. The speed of the Primordial Thirteen Arrows was really scary, which could not be changed by merely a piece of thin ice. However, there would always be some kind of interference and there were dozens and even hundreds of pieces.
