Chapter 2236 - 2233: Losing Control
Chapter 2236: Chapter 2233: Losing Control
The always lightly laughing Xia Yifeng showed anger on his face for the first time.
Initially, he thought the two Guardians Bing would directly make Ice Barbarian lose, thus ending the contest.
Unexpectedly, the two Guardians actually thought of letting the Eight Venerable Envoys attack together.
That wasn’t a round-robin fight; it was an ambush.
"Xia Yifeng, what are you angry about?" Guardian Nangong said coldly.
"This Xiao Yi is an outsider; Ice Barbarian and the others are the hope of our Ice Emperor Palace."
"You’re not worried about them but angry on behalf of an outsider? Ha, you truly are a good guardian of our Ice Emperor Palace."
The tone of Guardian Nangong’s words carried an obvious ridicule.
On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.
Swish... Swish... Swish... Swish... Swish...
Several figures instantly leapt out.
It was Xia Yiming, Nangong Ming, Bing Mei’er, Bing Yu, and others.
At this moment, the Eight Venerable Envoys were gathered.
Eight people, almost all exhibiting a cold demeanor.
Only Xia Yiming frowned deeply.
Xiao Yi looked at the other seven who leapt out, undisturbed, and instead smiled faintly.
"I already said to have you all attack together, to save time."
"It’s good for everyone to come at once now; since we must fight, let’s settle it all at once."
"Arrogant." Nangong Ming growled coldly.
"Presumptuous." The other few shouted directly.
Only Xia Yiming gritted his teeth, "My sword, if not for the elders’ orders, wouldn’t want to be drawn..."
Xia Yiming was evidently torn.
A Sword Heart in his mind struggled intensely.
He wanted to say something.
But Xiao Yi interrupted first, laughing lightly, "If you don’t want to draw your sword, then don’t."
"If you’re in trouble, I’ll make sure you don’t get the chance to draw your sword."
Xia Yiming frowned slightly, "Thanks, but firstly, you have to have that skill."
Xia Yiming, although unwilling to act, he was always a proud Sword Cultivator.
"Then let’s try." Xiao Yi shrugged.
The next second, his figure vanished instantly from where he stood.
"Furious Flame Finger." Xiao Yi shouted coldly.
When he reappeared, he was less than tens of meters in front of the seven.
A finger pointed out, with countless flame auras gathering around the finger.
"Hm?" The seven simultaneously had their expressions solidify.
Bing Yu shouted coldly, "Trying to strike instantly, aiming to hurt one of us with a Thunderous Strike?"
"You dream."
Nangong Ming shouted aggressively, "Attack together, stop him."
Anyone could see that Xiao Yi’s finger was undoubtedly a very strong strike.
This finger pointed directly at Xia Yiming.
Xia Yiming wasn’t dazed either, the sword in his hand began to gradually condense.
He wouldn’t go easy; he would only fight a fair battle.
Xiao Yi’s speed was extremely fast.
With a finger pointed, flames enveloped him.
Nangong Ming, Bing Yu, and others joined forces and intended to stop Xiao Yi.
However, the result was that the Primordial Power bursting from everyone was instantly dissipated before Xiao Yi’s fiery aura at the fingertip.
Xiao Yi’s finger was unstoppable like a spear breaking through bamboo.
Nangong Ming, Bing Yu, and others were all heavily shaken under the fire aura.
Bing Yu, the weakest in strength, directly had his Primordial Power collapse in the moment he touched some fire leftover, and his whole body was engulfed by flames.
Hiss...
Xiao Yi’s finger instantly pointed at the newly condensed sword body of Xia Yiming.
Bang... A loud explosion.
The sword body shattered.
Xia Yiming’s body was directly blasted away.
"Pfft." When Xia Yiming stabilized his figure, he coughed up blood.
The figure had fallen outside the Martial Arts Arena.
Furious Flame Finger, Xiao Yi hadn’t used it in a long time, but it was always the strongest attack of his Fire Control Skill.
How could Bing Yu, Nangong Ming, and others possibly block it?
And Xia Yiming, he didn’t want to fight initially; his sword had barely been condensed, and his full strength had not had a chance to explode, yet he was first blasted out of the arena by Xiao Yi.
"Thanks." Xia Yiming stood outside the arena, nodded his head, "If my family’s elders agree one day, I still want to battle you."
"Suit yourself." Xiao Yi shrugged.
"You’re going down too." Xiao Yi glanced at another Venerable Envoy beside him.
This Venerable Envoy had always stood with Xia Yiming, never showing coldness like the others.
Not guessing wrong, this person was also a Heavenly Talent of the Xia Family.
Bang...
Xiao Yi punched, with just one punch, this person was directly blasted out of the Martial Arts Arena.
Dealing with opponents like Ice Barbarian and Xia Yiming, Xiao Yi still needed to exert effort; but for the others, Xiao Yi could instantly kill with a punch.
On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena, only six of the Eight Venerable Envoys remained.
Within the Eight Venerable Envoys, the Bing Family occupied three seats.
The Nangong Family also occupied three seats.
The Xia Family occupied two seats.
The Xia Family’s two were blasted out, leaving only the Bing Family and Nangong Family’s six.
"Hmm?" At this moment, on the chief platform, the two Guardians Bing suddenly rejoiced.
Though the Xia Family’s two Venerable Envoys were blasted from the arena.
But they clearly saw that when Xiao Yi used that fully powered flame finger, the towering flames besieging Ice Barbarian instantly weakened in momentum.
Furious Flame Finger, as Xiao Yi’s strongest flame technique, certainly consumed great Primordial Power when executed.
"Humph." Guardian Nangong snorted coldly, "I thought this kid would remain unaffected."
"Turns out he has a weakness."
"Just repelling the Xia Family’s two already weakened his flame power slightly; if Ming’er and the others unite, this Xiao Yi can no longer remain so composed."
Guardian Bing nodded, "I thought this Xiao Yi was something extraordinary, but it seems that’s not the case."
On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena, Nangong Ming and four others once again attacked in unison.
They obviously heard the words of Guardian Bing and his companion, thinking they could deal with Xiao Yi.
Little did they know, Xiao Yi’s flame was slightly affected earlier because he intended to use a Thunderous Strike to knock Xia Yiming off the stage.
But to say it exhausted his Primordial Power was far from possible.
"Mingluo Saber Technique." Nangong Ming swung a powerful saber with all his might.
"Ice Venerate Palm." Bing Yu thrust both palms forward.
"Ice Spider Silk." Bing Mei’er extended both hands, releasing hundreds of resilient ice threads like a net from heaven and earth.
The other two also displayed their skills.
The five attacked in unison, five fierce attacks surging overwhelmingly.
Bang...
Xiao Yi gathered a Purple Flame in his hand, coating himself in fire.
"Humph." Nangong Ming swung his saber, snorting, "You won’t have another chance to trap Senior Brother Mann."
"Once Senior Brother Mann escapes the Fire Sea, he’ll easily defeat you."
Xiao Yi remained silent, launching a fiery punch.
Boom... a loud explosion, Nangong Ming along with his saber was blown hundreds of meters away.
Boom... another loud explosion, Xiao Yi unleashed a Fire Blade in the air, shattering Bing Yu’s punches, sending him flying hundreds of meters.
As for the hundreds of resilient ice threads, they melted the instant they touched the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.
The Purple Crystal Spirit Flame then followed the ice threads.
In that moment, the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame clung like maggots still on a bone.
Hundreds of ice threads became hundreds of Purple Flames surging back.
Seeing this, Bing Mei’er turned pale and hastily dispersed the ice threads in her hands.
The fame of the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame destroying everything was well-known, was it not?
Bing Mei’er dared not test the fire herself.
As for the other two, upon approaching, they were similarly blown away by Xiao Yi.
Their plan was simple, to surround Xiao Yi, distracting him, leaving no time to manage the Fire Sea trapping Senior Brother Mann.
As long as Senior Brother Mann escaped, he would surely defeat Xiao Yi easily.
After all, Xiao Yi himself couldn’t do anything to Senior Brother Mann.
But they hadn’t considered that the five of them together couldn’t do anything to Xiao Yi.
"How is it possible? The Five Great Venerable Envoys together are no match for Xiao Yi?"
Numerous Martial Artists from the Ice Emperor Palace were already horrified.
On the chief platform.
Guardian Bing’s eyes turned cold as he discreetly glanced at Bing Yu on the Martial Arts Arena.
Bing Yu noticed this look and nodded discreetly.
Nangong Ming performed the same gesture.
"Join forces again." Nangong Ming wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up, "Let’s see how many times Xiao Yi can withstand our siege."
"Alright." Bing Yu and the others responded.
Once more, the five joined forces to attack.
Xiao Yi’s expression remained indifferent, hardly paying the five any mind.
But when the five truly approached him, Nangong Ming and Bing Yu’s momentum suddenly increased.
In Nangong Ming’s hand, a large saber appeared out of nowhere.
It was certainly not a saber formed by Primordial Power, but a real Divine Weapon.
In Bing Yu’s hand, a pair of gloves also appeared, thin as cicada wings, akin to ice silk.
On the chief platform, Xia Yifeng’s eyes turned cold, "Ice Slaughter Blade, Ice Venerate Gloves? Two High Grade Peak Holy Artifacts."
"You..." Xia Yifeng suddenly cast a cold glance at Guardian Bing and his companion.
On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena, Nangong Ming and Bing Yu’s momentum surged, attacking fiercely.
Under the augmentation of the two High Grade Peak Holy Artifacts, their strength was absolutely on par with the currently trapped Senior Brother Mann and Extreme Cold Emperor Crab.
"Xiao Yi, die!" Nangong Ming shouted.
Xiao Yi’s previously indifferent eyes finally turned cold.
"Why are you looking at us like that?" Bing Yu sneered, "How dare a dead man glare at us?"
Saber and palms struck simultaneously.
In their eyes, Xiao Yi was already a dead man.
Such a sudden assault, with two attacks boosted by close-range momentum, should at least result in severe injury for the unprepared Xiao Yi.
However, with two crisp slapping sounds.
Nangong Ming’s saber was grasped by Xiao Yi’s hand.
Bing Yu’s palms were also blocked by one of Xiao Yi’s palms.
Looking more closely, Xiao Yi’s bare palms had changed, a toxic aura enveloped them.
It was the Ten Thousand Poison Hand.
Xiao Yi coldly eyed the two, "The rules and restrictions were set by your Ice Emperor Palace."
"We agreed not to use external items, not to rely on Holy Artifacts."
On the chief platform, Guardian Bing and his companion were taken aback, "How is it possible, he easily blocked them?"
Xiao Yi glanced at Guardian Bing and his companion on the chief platform, "Originally, I didn’t care about this battle, nor about your shamelessness."
"But if my indifference makes you think I’m easy to bully, then you chose the wrong target today."
Crunch, crunch...
Nangong Ming’s hand, clutching the saber, suddenly released it, one hand’s bones already shattered.
Bing Yu cried out in pain, his palms turning black and being corroded.
"Not good, Xiao Yi is about to rage." Guardian Nangong exclaimed, "Retreat quickly."
"Trying to escape?" Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, "The battle isn’t over, don’t think any of you can flee."
"Unique Poison Realm, seal."
Xiao Yi’s hands extended.
The vast Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena was instantly enveloped in a toxic haze.
A giant toxic barrier sealed all around.
