Chapter 378: Ice Snow Sword Domain, Bone-Deep Hatred (2/2)

”Roar! Chaotic Mist Blade.”

The wind mentality and soft mentality complemented each other, which allowed Gao Qianhe's whip technique to encompass the wind's speed and cutting power, as well as the subtle softness that rejected force. Dozens of long whips unfolded out like the petals of a touch-me-not flower. Every single of these whips could instantly kill a peak Astral Reaching expert.

Clank Clank…

Feng Yanrou's sword Qi was exceptionally cold. It converted the surroundings of Gao Qianhe into a world of ice, hugely restricting his speed.

At the same time, Gao Qianhe's whip strike also sent the air around Feng Yanrou into utter chaos. Every now and then, a completely taut whip would stab at her protective Zhen Yuan.

Deflecting the whip, Feng Yanrou's foot stamped on the ice. Like an ice fairy of the heavenly palace, she stabbed out with her sword, carrying a peerless sword intent.

Puff!

A perfectly straight crack appeared in the void, and in the next moment, a hole opened in Gao Qianghe's shoulder. The blood flowing out of it froze immediately.

”What a powerful sword dao! The coldness contains the feeling of a massacre; it seems to be near Slaughter Sword Dao, but different still.”

After going through the test of Dual Sword King's will, Ye Chen's knowledge of sword dao had been enriched to a great extent. He could tell at a glance that Feng Yanrou's cultivation of sword dao was not simple. He didn't imagine encountering such an exceptional sword genius as soon as he stepped out of South Rudra region.

”South Rudra region is one of the smallest regions of True Spirit continent, whereas Misty Snow Nation is one of the biggest. They indeed have a big difference. Going by the current accomplishments, nobody among the young generation of South Rudra region except myself would be a match for this girl. I wonder where she is ranked among the Misty Snow's young generation.”

As he thought up to here, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask her through a Zhen Yuan transmission, ”Young miss, I wonder what grievances you two have.”

Feng Yanrou was grateful to Ye Chen. If not for Ye Chen, she would never have been able to catch Gao Qianhe. Dividing her attention in two parts, she continued suppressing Gao Qianhe while replying Ye Chen back with Zhen Yuan, ”This man is an extremely vicious and ruthless, evil cultivator. He killed my junior sister for no reason, and lusted after her for quite a while….” Feng Yanrou explained the details to Ye Chen.

”So, that's what happened.”

Ye Chen faintly nodded. His actions were correct this time. Actually, during the course of exchanging blows, he could already see that Gao Qianhe was not an upright person. His words were completely opposite to his actions, and he didn't hesitate to kill him either. These were not the actions of an upright person.

Ye Chen's soul power locked on every move that Gao Qianhe made. He feared that the latter would escape once again, although the chances of that happening were extremely low.

”Mist Blade Swarm!”

Gao Qianhe had suffered many sword injuries. These injuries were gradually weakening his physical power, and making him even lesser of an opponent for Feng Yanrou. He roared, and the long whip in his hand trembled. At the whips' heads, thumb-long portions separated themselves from the whips and shot out, covering the sky as if a bee nest had exploded.

”Humph! My mid grade artifact is not your usual mid grade artifact. At a crucial moment, the heads can automatically separate themselves and attack with a strength that will injure experts even stronger than me. This is my life-saving trump card.”

Gao Qianhe laughed coldly.

Feng Yanrao's face remained unchanged as she raised the sword with her right hand. Her protective Zhen Yuan crumbled away.

”Ice Snow Sword Domain!”

Hiss….

A white light cover spread out, safeguarding Feng Yanrao within. The white light was constantly circulating, and if one observed carefully, they could see that there were streaks of sword light inter-connected to each other inside the circulating white light, forming a two-layered defense.

The countless sharp whip heads immediately bounced off as soon as they hit its surface.

”Not good! She's actually learned Snow Sword Sect's profound top skill.”

(Tl: profound here is not the name of skill, but a new grade)

Gao Qianhe was appalled and no longer had the courage to battle. Snow Sword sect meant almighty experts of Sea of Soul realm. How could he break a profound grade technique? Although Feng Yanrou had merely comprehended a superficial amount, it was still terrifying.

”What kind of skill is this? It's still within the scope of mentality, but it has already surpassed its application. It even includes some mysterious sword intent.”

Ye Chen stroked his chin and involuntarily recalled the Void Shattering Finger he had obtained from the Goat Head mountain peak. This skill exceeded the realm of mentality. When used, it was at the same level as Feng Yanrao's skill, or perhaps even higher. Ye Chen had been studying Void Shattering Finger these years, but had only been able to figure out some of its uses at most. Comprehending its true meaning was too difficult. Moreover, Ye Chen never saw profound, which transcended the realm of mentalities. How would he even go about it?

”Sword Slash Domain!”

Slashing out, Feng Yanrou extracted out the sword light from the white light and slashed it towards Gao Qianhe.

Ka!

Without any suspense, Gao Qianhe's one arm was ripped apart, narrowly missing the shoulder. His defensive mid grade artifact was covered by a layer of frost, emitting a cold Qi.

”Kid, if I die, you'll die with me.”

At this moment, Gao Qianhe's most hated person was Ye Chen. If not for Ye Chen, he would have never been caught by Feng Yanrao, and thus,, wouldn't have sunk into a situation of certain death. With his current remaining battle power, he was simply incapable of injuring Feng Yanrao. Thus, Ye Chen became his target. He wished to drag the latter to death with him, to make him pay the price of offending him, Gao Qianhe.

Bang!

Countless cracks appeared in the void as Gao Qianhe fearlessly dove down towards Ye Chen; his posture that of a life for life; he had completely disregarded defense now.

”Careful.”

Feng Yanrao hurriedly warned Ye Chen. Although the latter was quite amazing in movement techniques, how strong his battle power could possibly be? If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't have defended with all his might with no power to retaliate while facing Gao Qianhe's attacks before. Being grateful to him in her heart, Feng Yanrao didn't wish Ye Chen to die before her eyes. The instant she warned Ye Chen, her speed soared to the limit before she slashed out.

”Image Shift!”

Sword Qi missed the target. Under desperation, the Image Shift technique executed by Gao Qianhe was at its unprecedented peak.

Ye Chen stood in air without a single movement. His corner of mouth flashed a cold smile, which to Gao Qianhe, felt like a bitter smile, much to the his delight.
