Chapter 390: Ice Guard
“That Qingyun League kid is so fast! He is actually able to arrive before Luo Feng’s attack arrived. Otherwise, Qingyun League would have been eliminated.”
The elimination of the second chief elect from Tiandi League caused waves on the hearts of the many elders there.
“Luo Feng cultivated the Shadow Assassination Technique that grants him a fast speed and a lithe body. That technique combined with his Umbra Dagger, he is able to kill even a True Energy Realm warrior with a single hit. How can his speed be surpassed by a True Energy Realm warrior?”
The scene of Ye Mo blocking Luo Feng’s attack and Zhao Huan smashing Chi Ying to elimination had caused a sensation.
Of the three from Tiandi League, only one remained. All three of them were genius among geniuses, and that was especially true for Luo Feng who had encountered numerous fortuitous encounters that had enabled him to practice the Shadow Assassination Technique and granting him a quality of energy far surpassing that of an ordinary person.
Tiandi League had accorded the three high hopes, yet the three had suffered such grave defeat in the very first round.
“Damn it. Who is that Qingyun League kid?” Although two of Tiandi League had been eliminated, Luo Feng could still stay in this round. Nevertheless, he could no longer participate in the next round. This caused great shock in the hearts of the Tiandi League elders.
All of them had a look of disbelief as they looked at the projection from the Heaven Origin Mirror.
“Who is that kid? Find out about him!” said a league chief of Tiandi League in fury.
If it wasn’t for Ye Mo’s astonishing performance, even if Tiandi League was jointly attacked by Wushuang League and Qingyun League, they might survive the encounter.
After all, Luo Feng specialized in one hit kill attacks, and was able to use the least possible time to eliminate two of the weakest league members from the round.
But instead, Ye Mo had eliminated a Tiandi League member with a single hit before stopping Luo Feng’s attack. One could say that Ye Mo was the main culprit for their current predicament.
“He is the chief elect from Qingyun League’s Xuan Ji Sub-League. It was said that he is a chief elect personally nurtured by Xuan Ji. Not long ago, he was still an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior. Now, he has entered the True Energy Realm. He is a person of terrifying talent,” reported an elder league member.
Some of the officials of the kingdom were also shocked by this performance.
Among the spectator seats, nearly everyone were focused on Ye Mo, but Ye Mo was completely unaware of that. His only thought presently was to protect Lei Xiao.
Now, there were two of them from Qingyun League left, while Wushuang League still had all three members left. Although they had formed a pact, it was still possible for the other party to betray them.
“Haha. Good. Although I, Luo Feng, can no longer enter the next round, none of you shall hope to reach the next round as well. There are still 10 minutes in this round. I will eliminate all of you.”
After a short moment of fury from losing his two teammates, Luo Feng regained his calm. He vanished into thin air after leaving behind some threats.
“Hmph!” Ye Mo shouted as his body started warping. Then, a clone appeared beside him.
“Senior Sister Zhao Huan, that Luo Feng is too fast. Can the two behind you survive his ambush?” Ye Mo asked.
“This…” Zhao Huan glanced at the two behind her after hearing the question. The two had their heads lowered in silence. Although they were both late-stage True Energy Realm warriors, Luo Feng was a Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouse. It would be too hard for them to stop his ambush.
“One of my team member has already been eliminated. Although Lei Xiao is not weak, he still can’t stop Luo Feng’s ambush.” Ye Mo started analyzing, “We can take the risk and hunt the three from the kingdom down to eliminate them. But doing that, we might suffer Luo Feng’s ambush, causing both our teams to be eliminated instead.” “Or we can choose to be safe and hide until the round is over.”
All three Wushuang League members sank into contemplation before Zhao Huan said, “We shall hide.”
“Ok. Since we are going to hide, don’t split up. Let us advance to the next round together.”
Then, all five of them streaked towards the same direction.
At the lead was Zhao Huan while at the rear was Ye Mo. They were constantly on guard against ambushes from the three from the kingdom and Luo Feng.
“I think there is an ice palace ahead, and there are people within.” A huge ice palace appeared in Zhao Huan’s vision. The entire palace was made of ice, sparkling like a diamond, with ice guards protecting the palace.
“Ice palace?” Everyone was alarmed as they stopped when they saw the palace.
The ice guards were all formed of ice, and the three representatives of the kingdom were being attacked by the ice guards.
Each ice guard was at early-stage True Energy Realm and wielded a spear.
Compared to the participants of this competition, the ice guards weren’t exactly powerful. But Ye Mo found that these ice guards seemed unkillable.
When Cao Zheng slashed an ice guard into two, the two pieces turned into two ice guards instead.
The longer they fought, the higher the number of ice guards.
“Leave!” Ye Mo had no hesitation and decided to leave.
“Leaving? Not so fast!” With a sneer, Luo Feng appeared and blocked their path of retreat.
He yelled and alarmed the ice guards. Instantly, several dozen ice guards left the battle with the three from the kingdom and charged over, surrounding Ye Mo’s group of five.
As for Luo Feng, he vanished into the thin air once again.
“Damn it!” Lei Xiao cursed as he smashed at an ice guard with his Thunderfire Warhammer. The ice guard was split into two before transforming into two ice guards.
Thus, two battlegrounds formed, both against ice guards. As they fought, the number of ice guards increased. And eventually, the two battlegrounds converged and turned into one huge battleground.
All eight of them were completely surrounded.
“It is truly unexpected that us, the participants, will be surrounded by these True Energy Realm ice guards,” Chu Ge said with a mocking laugh.
“Among these ice guards, one of them is the captain. His strength and look is completely the same as a regular ice guard. Only by killing the captain will these ice guards vanish. Everyone, time to reveal your true strength,” Cao Zheng said loudly.
Everyone was hit by a realization when they heard that. The best solution was to kill all the ice guards at the exact same moment.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
All eight of them activated their respective martial techniques at the same time. Instantly, a dense energy erupted from them like a tsunami and covered the air above them. Numerous powerful martial techniques were used, altering the very world around them. The wind warped, the ground shook, and the ice cracked. The martial techniques landed on the ice guards, instantly killing all of them.
Finally, all eight of them landed on the ground again. Once again, vigilance appeared in their eyes.
“Chu Ge, protect the princess. I will go deal with that Ye Mo!” Cao Zheng said and charged straight at Ye Mo before slashing his Violet Lightning Sword down at Ye Mo.
