Chapter 281 Fierce Battle with the Snow Empress.
"What?" The Snow Empress stared in astonishment at the spirit rings beneath the human's feet. This kind of spirit ring configuration was simply beyond what a human could possess.
No, there was another possibility. Thinking of this, the Snow Empress smiled coldly, "So it's the so-called dual-level martial spirit. You, a mere quasi-Soul Saint, dare to covet my spirit rings? You truly don't know the meaning of death!"
"Hmph! A fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken! Do you think you're still the third most ferocious beast on the continent? Surrender!" Wu Xuan shouted coldly, and a whirlwind instantly erupted around him.
"Ridiculous. Even if my strength is reduced to a mere tenth, it's still not something you can arrogance about." The Snow Empress's beautiful face was covered in frost, and her purple spirit rings instantly lit up.
"Second Spirit Skill, Blizzard!"
In the next instant, the entire cafeteria was completely transformed into a world of ice and snow. Goose feather-like snowflakes raged wildly under the blowing wind, even causing the Snow Empress, who was previously clearly visible, to disappear without a trace.
Wu Xuan's body trembled instantly, because in that instant, the temperature in the previously warm room dropped by at least fifty degrees Celsius, and the entire room was covered in ice and snow. Layers of frost began to condense on Wu Xuan's body.
"Trying to control the wind? Did you ask me?" Wu Xuan's cold shout instantly calmed the raging blizzard. Although the snow continued to fall heavily inside the cafeteria, and the temperature hadn't improved, Snow Empress's second soul skill was now powerless.
"Third Soul Skill, Myriad Transformations Ice Spikes!"
Wu Xuan heard a clear, delicate shout, and dazzling ice-blue light instantly illuminated the ground. Countless ice-blue shadows scattered and flew, and ice spikes several meters long suddenly pierced through the ground without warning.
From a distance, the cafeteria of Maple Snow Soul Master Academy seemed to transform into a blooming ice flower in that instant, and then nothing more—the entire cafeteria was reduced to ruins.
"Phew! This human is much more troublesome than the old guy from before." Looking at Wu Xuan, who was once again frozen into an ice sculpture, the Snow Empress finally let out a long sigh of relief. Her identity had been exposed, and she needed to return to the far north immediately.
"Haha! As expected of the Snow Empress in human form, your combat instincts are truly unmatched." Wu Xuan's laughter rang out, and the Snow Empress, who hadn't yet moved, suddenly felt her surroundings change; it seemed to be a turquoise wind curtain.
"A domain?" The Snow Empress's face was frosty; she couldn't understand how her opponent could release a domain while she had frozen him.
Thinking it over, the Snow Empress's actions didn't hesitate.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Emperor Sword, Unparalleled Ice!"
The Snow Empress raised her right hand, and the black fourth ring around her body shone brightly. A deep blue longsword, seemingly formed from condensed ice crystals, appeared out of thin air in her grasp.
The ice sword instantly slashed down. The deep blue light drew a fan-shaped arc in the air, changing from deep blue to light blue, then to pale blue, and finally turning white. Where the terrifying sword light swept past, cracks appeared in the air, as if all the air had been frozen into ice and then sliced apart.
Currently, her strength had only recovered to the fifth ring; the power of her domain was still too weak to contend with Wu Xuan's strange domain. Therefore, her only option was to launch a direct attack on Wu Xuan.
The ice spikes surrounding Wu Xuan were instantly shattered by the Snow Empress's sword, yet Wu Xuan's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did he go?" Xue Di asked in surprise, her sharp eyes fixed on her surroundings.
"You're really impulsive. This is the school you've attended for years! You just blew up the school cafeteria like that?" Wu Xuan's figure appeared silently behind Xue Di, his words mocking.
"If you hadn't suddenly appeared and attacked me, how could I have destroyed this place?" Xue Di turned around and swung her hand, sending several more ice spikes at Wu Xuan.
However, it was useless. The ice spikes didn't even make a ripple when they hit Wu Xuan, because Wu Xuan's figure had disappeared again a moment ago.
"You're a soul beast, I'm a human. Do I need a reason to attack you?" Wu Xuan's figure reappeared in front of Xue Di and sneered.
"Damn it!" Xue Di raised her hand and attacked again.
"It's useless. In my battlefield, I can move freely. Your speed will be reduced by forty percent. You can't possibly hit me." Wu Xuan's figure reappeared, his face full of mockery.
This time, the Snow Empress didn't attack first. Her icy blue eyes flashed with a death-defying resolve. "Damn it, despicable human! Even if I die, you'll never get my soul ring or soul bone!"
As she spoke, icy blue cracks appeared on her white skin.
"Holy crap! She's going to self-destruct? What kind of level is this?" Wu Xuan was stunned. He had originally wanted to continue teasing the Snow Empress, but who would have thought she'd become so enraged?
Although Wu Xuan was momentarily dumbfounded, it didn't mean he was stupid. How could the third-ranked ferocious beast on the continent become so enraged and self-destruct after just a few words?
If she was so reckless, what was the point of transforming into a human and starting over?
Having made a plan, the vertical eye between Wu Xuan's brows silently opened, hidden by his hair, and he charged towards the Snow Empress.
As expected, suddenly, the blizzard surrounding the Snow Empress abruptly stopped in an indescribable way. In that instant, it seemed as if time and space had all frozen. Every snowflake froze in mid-air, and all the cold winds stopped instantly.
The next moment, the Snow Empress was already before Wu Xuan. At the same time, her fifth spirit ring, swirling around her, lit up. She lightly swung her palm, its blade pure white and lustrous like jade.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Emperor's Palm, Great Cold Without Snow!"
Wu Xuan's eyes subtly turned a brilliant silver. His left fist clenched, and his left arm instantly transformed into a transparent crystal. A burst of intense silver light rapidly converged towards Wu Xuan's left hand, and countless diamond particles, shimmering with silver light, covered his palm.
The 400,000-year-old Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's left arm bone—Mystic Crystal Claw! Along with the fusion of tangible and substantial mental attacks, Wu Xuan's own "Reign Supreme!"
Rang out without a sound. All the snowflakes shattered instantly, their original power vanishing in an instant. Only the swirling ice powder once again obscured Wu Xuan's vision, and the chill in the snowflakes of this hurricane battlefield seemed to have been instantly drained, the air temperature suddenly warming.
"Bang!" A muffled sound rang out as a fist and a palm collided, followed by complete silence. Wu Xuan felt a slight chill on his left arm; his crystal-clear arm was covered in layers of eerie frost. Although it was only for a moment, Wu Xuan clearly felt his entire right arm lose sensation in that instant.
The Snow Empress's figure was directly thrown away. In that instant, the Snow Empress felt as if her sea of consciousness had exploded with excruciating pain. Under such stimulation, the Snow Empress's eyes rolled back, and even saliva drooled from the corner of her mouth.
