Shi Fang Bing Hua, a Celestial grade profound skill bestowed upon Bai Xiaoxiao when receiving the Bing Ying Jue.
Although he hadn't officially cultivated it yet, he had reviewed it several times and practiced it simply before. With his extreme comprehension exceeding ninth grade, it was enough for him to unleash some of its power.
As Ye Yun gathered his profound energy, it began to snow heavily within a few miles, and the cold wind raged like a blizzard.
However, this was only the beginning. In the blink of an eye, the Bai family members saw snowflakes filling the sky, and boundless cold air converged towards Ye Yun, transforming into a crystal-clear, ice-blue lotus, breathtakingly magnificent.
Bai Tianchen, facing him, quickly realized something was wrong. This seemingly delicate lotus clearly contained power capable of destroying heaven and earth!
He could even see the void around the small lotus distorting due to its terrifying power, beautiful to the point of dread.
Bai Tianchen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shouted behind him.
"All hands, immediately form the Misty Jade Array and defend with all your might!"
They didn't need his reminder. Others also felt the terror of the white lotus and shifted from offense to defense, summoning their defensive powers.
In an instant, Bai Tianchen's profound energy surged, and with the combined efforts of everyone, a colossal defensive formation covering the entire Bai family materialized before him.
The Misty Jade Array was a primarily defensive formation that could gather the strength of all members to form a powerful defense against attacks. A layer of white light screen appeared in the air.
At the same time, Ye Yun held the ice-blue lotus in his hands, gazing at the lotus containing violent power in his palm. After admiring it, he whispered.
"Destroying Ice Lotus, go!"
He gently tossed it forward, looking like a beautiful ice lotus drifting down from the sky.
The lotus appeared to be slow, but after a moment of flight, it resonated with space repeatedly, then instantly accelerated to several times the speed of sound, leaving a white trail in the air before crashing onto the white light screen.
The moment of contact, time seemed to freeze, and only a white light, more dazzling than the sun, filled every corner of their vision!
The power contained within the Destroying Ice Lotus erupted completely at this moment.
Rumble!
The entire Misty Mountain was enveloped by white light and cold currents. The earth trembled violently under this power, and a white mushroom cloud formed from the cold air gradually rose.
Terrifying cold currents indiscriminately surged outwards with the wind, so much so that within a radius of a hundred miles, the biting cold air could be clearly felt.
In a small city a hundred miles away, people shivered and stopped, looking towards Misty Mountain.
Upon seeing the spectacular mushroom cloud, they were all shocked, wondering what had happened.
"This direction, isn't that the Bai family on Misty Mountain?"
"Did the Bai family cause this commotion?"
"Probably not, I think the Bai family must have provoked some powerful individual."
"Good heavens, such a terrifying attack, how powerful must they be?"
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with us..."
...
Within the Bai family on Misty Mountain, the aftermath of the Destroying Ice Lotus gradually dissipated but hadn't completely. The residual power still caused heavy snow to fall in the scorching heat of September.
Under the falling snow, only Bai Xiaoxiao's room, where she was being looked after, remained intact. Aside from that, the entire Bai family was razed to the ground, and everything became ruins under the aftershock.
Although there was only a single grade difference between Celestial and Earth grade profound skills, as their names suggested, the intensity differed immensely, making it no exaggeration to say it was like comparing heaven and earth.
And this was merely Ye Yun's experimental release; he hadn't truly mastered Shi Fang Bing Hua, yet its power was already so terrifying.
It was said that Celestial grade profound skills were the foundation of the Immortal Palace's standing, and Ye Yun now truly understood the meaning of that statement!
Many people crawled out of the ruins. They had almost no casualties, but looking at the demonic figure in the sky, their eyes were filled only with fear.
As for Bai Tianchen and hundreds of family powerhouses, they had already been blasted to the ground, each more severely injured than the last.
It was clear that the Misty Jade Array had failed to block the Destroying Ice Lotus, and the consequence was that those who formed the array suffered heavy injuries.
Especially Bai Tianchen, the primary array master, lay on the ground in tattered clothes, blood uncontrollably flowing from his mouth. He could only struggle to stand up.
"Father! Are you alright?!"
At this moment, Bai Qinghong, the only one who hadn't participated in the battle, rushed out from a corner and helped his injured father.
Bai Tianchen took a breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm fine, just some injuries."
In reality, he was severely wounded. The backlash from the formation's destruction, coupled with being caught in the destructive power of the Destroying Ice Lotus, had nearly cost him his life.
He glanced at the surrounding ruins of the Bai family and the people who couldn't even stand, his face growing more grim. He slowly looked up.
At this moment, Ye Yun landed in front of him, looking at him and smiling faintly.
"Patriarch Bai, it seems I have won."
"You..."
Bai Tianchen trembled with rage. The foundation of his Bai family, built over hundreds of years, had been largely destroyed by Ye Yun in an instant.
But what could he do? The lotus Ye Yun had released had utterly terrified him. Such terrifying power must be a Celestial grade profound skill!
If he were to unleash another one now, the Bai family might truly be wiped off the continent. He could only grit his teeth and say.
"Yes, I have indeed lost this time."
"It's good that you know. I advise you to behave yourself from now on."
Ye Yun snorted coldly. At this moment, Bai Qinghong, seeing Ye Yun's arrogance, even shouted sternly.
"Ye Yun! How dare you treat our Bai family like this! When the time comes, the Flying Dragon Immortal Palace will not let you off!"
This threat made Ye Yun laugh out loud.
"No problem. As long as the Flying Dragon Immortal Palace has the guts, this seat will naturally accompany you to the end! But before that, you might need to consider another matter."
He casually summoned the Feng Lan Sword, which suddenly split into thousands of sword shadows in the air, each containing enough power to kill an emperor.
Just like in the Black Demon Sect before, thousands of sword tips locked onto everyone in the Bai family except Bai Xiaoxiao. In their current predicament, Ye Yun could erase them all with a single thought.
"Do you think the Flying Dragon Immortal Palace will kill me first, or will I kill you first?"
Ye Yun leaned closer to Bai Qinghong, smiling and looking at him. This gaze sent a shiver down his spine.
Especially seeing the sky full of sword rain, he swallowed and spoke with a tremor.
"You... you can't kill me, I'm the Young Palace Lord's friend..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt Ye Yun's killing intent and quickly changed his tune.
"I am Xiaoxiao's elder brother! You... you... you can't kill me..."
Only then did Ye Yun's killing intent slightly recede. He then ignored him, not even bothering with Bai Tianchen.
Ye Yun glanced in the direction of Bai Xiaoxiao and walked towards her step by step.
The Bai family was now covered in ice. Ye Yun stepped on the ice, with the falling snow accompanying him, as he arrived under Bai Xiaoxiao's window.
The two guards standing at the door had already been scared silly. They glanced at the sword shadows hovering above their heads and stood there motionless, not daring to move.
Ye Yun gave them a cold glance and didn't pay them much attention, directly looking up at his disciple, who was wearing a wedding dress, and smiling.
"Xiaoxiao, your master has come to pick you up."
