The voice was clearly right beside them, but they could not see nor touch anything! Such a feeling caused the four Saint experts to feel extremely spooked out! Furthermore, they had to defend against a possible sneak attack at any moment and protect themselves from the fierce fire on their backs at the same time!
The fire dragon behind them could not be underestimated!
A fire dragon of such concentrated high temperatures was nothing to joke about. Even a Saint realm expert would not fare very well if he fell into its belly!
The long and winding dragon chased the four fleeing figures, dyeing half the entire sky a scarlet red, painting it with a magnificent radiance!
Although it looked incomparably gorgeous, the killing power of the fire dragon was something that no one could imagine!
Finally, after 70 li , the fire dragon finally stopped chasing!
From the looks of it, there was a limit to the fire dragon’s range as well. It couldn’t simply fly endlessly behind them forever!
The four who had narrowly escaped finally let loose a sign of relief as they quickly ascended a nearby mountain. Standing firmly on the ground, they exchanged a glance and only after seeing that the other three was still beside them did they relax!
A deafening roar could be heard from the side. There was a gigantic waterfall on this mountain! The waterfall seemed to be flowing from the heavens, dropping heavily from a hundred zhang and crashing into the river below. The powerful currents carried pieces of unmelted ice, like pieces of shattered jade. They smashed headlong into the river, stirring up huge waves before flowing down through a turbulent rapids...
“Everyone, let’s go to the waterfall and cool down from the heat!” Chen Chong wiped the sweat from his brows and took the lead as he headed towards the waterfall. These words were somewhat ridiculous seeing as it was only early spring now, and the weather was still quite cold. To think that these four Saints were stricken by heat so early...
Chi Tian Feng and the other three followed behind him, shooting towards the waterfall like arrows. The four all had the same thoughts. So what if you can control fire? This place is filled with water!
Water and fire counter each other! Even if you light this entire forest on fire, we still have enough water to deal with it! As long as we reach the waterfall, it would be the same as reaching an undefeatable ground!
At this time, the hoarse voice sounded out again in the air, laughing arrogantly. “Little bastards from the three Holy Lands. You saw this old man’s skills with fire and thought of using water to deal with it? How naive! You guys truly live up to the reputation of being frogs in a well 1 ! What will you do when this old man uses his water bending skills? At that time, don’t start regretting it!”
Chen Chong and the others rolled their eyes incredulously. You might as well try to trick ghosts! If you really have such an ability, would you say it out loud so easily? You’re obviously saying this because you don’t want us to go to the water! Keke, only children and idiots would fall for your trick!
Besides, water and fire were known to be incompatible elements since ancient times!
It’s admittedly very domineering that you can control fire. But because of the opposing attributes, there’s no way you can control water as well! This is common knowledge, OK?! If you have both powers... the two conflicting elements would clash against each other in your body, and you would have turned into dust long ago!
The four Saints had absolute confidence in their analysis. Without further hesitation, they stepped right up to the waterfall. Facing the clear waters, they felt a cooling sensation in their faces. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, they immediately felt much more refreshed.
In that moment, they felt that even though their opponent was unfathomably powerful, they could still try to fight for a moment!
A mocking laughter rang out in the air, floating into the ears of the four experts.
“Hiding and sneaking around all the time. What kind of hero are you! Senior, if you still have the demeanor of an apex expert, please show yourself and have a fair fight with us! Even if we perish and die, we will not have any regrets!”
Chi Tian Feng raised his voice and shouted.
“A fair fight? The few of you are not worthy enough yet!” The voice in the air laughed aloud, and suddenly turned cold and heavy. “Since the fire attack has ended, this Seat shall let you experience my water attacks!”
Chen Chong snorted coldly. “Senior, with your position, you still keep using such lowly tricks and cheap lies, causing us to look down on you!”
The raspy voice laughed, and sneered in a drawling tone. “Seen through me? You really think that you’ve seen through me? Frogs at the bottom of the well!” What Chen Chong had said was the ‘lightly’ as in ‘thinking lightly of you’, but this person had forcefully twisted his words, interpreting as ‘seen through’.
Following that, the aged voice rang out again. “Waters of Heaven and Earth, heed my commands! Ice and snow of this mountain, melt quickly! Gentle waters! Rise!”
An azure light rose up into the sky, instantly dispersing and scattering in all directions!
Chen Chong was about to laugh and mock this action again, when he felt something off. Looking up, his eyes widened and his face paled!
A huge iceberg was dropping down above him, rumbling loudly! Behind it, was a torrent of melted snow, gushing down like a column of water. The sheer volume and momentum of the water was as if it would flood the entire world!
The water below them suddenly flowed in reverse, surging upwards as well. Its speed had reached an extreme level!
A terrifying pincer attack from two directions!
My god! Could it be that we’re all stuck in the same horrible nightmare?
They’d just escaped from the fiery inferno only to run into the danger of drowning?
The refreshing oasis that brought these Saints comfort and relief only a moment ago had turned into a shocking death trap!
The silver river in the sky flowed in reverse 3000 chi towards earth while the earth’s waters gushed upwards!
Chen Chong and the others were scared out of their wits!
They were the same words. Saints were humans too. As long one was human, they would fear the unstoppable power of Heaven and Earth, the might of nature!
The water under their feet churned and rose rapidly, already reaching a terrifying speed. In just the blink of an eye, it had already reached their waist! On top of that, it did not seem to show any signs of slowing down!
At the same time, the danger above their head had also crashed down!
In order to escape the fire earlier, they’d purposely looked for the lowest ground, closest to water. But now, they’d directly landed themselves in a more terrible situation! Such a huge iceberg crashing down left them with no place to dodge!
They were surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and the only exit was the direction which they came in from! But for that direction, even if the four of them joined hands and combined all their strength, they still would not dare to charge out from there! Was that place really a path to life? That was the most dangerous area!
Since the other party could lay down such an intricate trap, the most lethal strike will certainly be placed on the only way out! Otherwise, although the iceberg was heavy, could it really be enough to smash Saints to death?
This was an obvious matter that one would be able to easily guess even if they thought using their kneecaps, not to mention these Saint-level experts who each had hundreds of years of experience behind them!
The iceberg above them was so large that it completely filled the canyon. Apart from barging out through the seemingly docile exit which most definitely was filled with dangers, the only way left was to forcefully clash against the iceberg! Only by standing their ground and persevering through would there be hope!
In that instant, the four Saint experts made the same choice. They all grunted heavily, rousing their Xuan Qi. Like four arrows unleashed from the bow, they suddenly shot up from the ground, smashing towards the huge block of ice!
Four Saints combining their strength and exploding with their full power!
Just as their palms were about to come into contact with the ice, Chen Chong suddenly realized that inside the ice, there was the sound of a strange and sinister laughter. And even quicker, and more sinister than the laugh, was the chill glint of sword Qi!
Stabbing towards them!
That mysterious enemy was actually hiding within this iceberg?
Could it be that the trap was actually not laid down at the only exit path?
Could it be that we’d been done in by our own cleverness instead, choosing the most dangerous path to escape?
Chen Chong no longer had the time to ponder on such questions.
Because the sword Qi was already upon him!
In such a deadly moment, where would he have the mind to think about such meaningless matters?!
Chen Chong could already clearly feel the sharpness of the sword Qi before his chest!
In fact, his heart could already feel an immensely deep pain and chill!
The lethal sword was right in front of him!
Chen Chong roared loudly and the speed of his ascent instantly changed. His body suddenly became filled with the thickest Xuan Qi, and he dropped with even greater speed than his ascent! The forceful switch of his Xuan Qi revolution was completed in less time than the blink of an eye. Ascending turned into descending. Even a Saint level expert could not disregard such a thing at all. The price which Chen Chong had to pay to make this happen was naturally also extremely heavy!
In that instant, he even felt like he’d lost control over his deep and profound Xuan cultivation, causing it to rampage randomly in his meridians. A metallic taste rose up his throat, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out of his mouth!
The person behind this sword was naturally Jun Mo Xie.
One must know that with Chen Chong’s powerful second level Saint cultivation, with him using his full strength and manipulating his Xuan Qi to protect his body, even if he stood still and waited to be stabbed, forcefully enduring a full strength strike from Blood of Yellow Flame would not cause him to suffer much. The difference in strength between the two sides were simply too massive!
Even if this stab had truly landed, it would at most only cause some light injuries to Chen Chong. And only the most superficial kind of wounds!
But how could the current Chen Chong dare to meet it head on!
In his heart, the person wielding this sword was a peerless expert much stronger than Saint Kings!
Not to mention being stabbed by it; even lightly touching such a level of sword Qi would result in him paying an extremely heavy price!
On top of that, the opponent had hidden this strike so cleverly. This was unquestionably a strike designed to reap lives!
How would he dare to come into contact with it? He didn’t even dare think of the notion!
Even if he had to forcefully reverse his Xuan Qi and damage his meridians, he still had to dodge this “unresistable” sword of the death god!
The person in front of him was an exceptional marvel who could manipulate both water and fire...
An expert who dared to challenge and face off against four Saint level experts and force them to flee in such wretched manners!
An expert who even the full powered spiritual sense of four Saints could not detect!
A peerless expert who could follow right beside them no matter how fast they were running!
A terrible existence who could easily melt himself into an iceberg and launch his attacks from within!
***
With such deeply ingrained preconceptions, Chen Chong’s heart was already firm. This person’s strength is far above mine and he is not someone I can face alone!
Thus, the moment he saw the blade light, his immediate thought was to retreat!
Retreat regardless of the cost!
The swordlight continued flashing radiantly, and the faint silhouette of a person appeared, reflected on the ice. Although Chen Chong had disappeared, the blade did not stop, stabbing forward relentlessly! The next target happened to be Chi Tian Feng!
