"Little bug, it seems I've underestimated you!"
"I didn't expect you to block my sword strike!"
"But it's a pity, this is your limit. Next will be your death!"
Bing Ji looked at Ye Zheng Hao, who had fallen heavily, and spoke coldly.
She had thought that the previous sword strike would have cut Ye Zheng Hao in half, but she didn't expect him to endure it stubbornly.
On the other side, Ye Zheng Hao heard this and glanced at his arm. His gauntlet was gone, and his large hand was covered in wounds that were still trembling.
If it weren't for his Undying Flame Body, he would likely be a corpse by now.
Although he had given his all, he was still defeated. This outcome was very frustrating and helpless, but his heart was incredibly excited.
The reason was simple: the clash with the opponent just now had allowed him to shatter the final barrier.
He firmly believed that as long as his injuries healed, he would be an Eighth Heaven Realm expert!
Thinking this, he looked at Ye Cang Tian not far away and said helplessly, "I have no more strength to fight. The rest is up to you!"
Seeing the excitement flash in the other person's eyes and sensing the subtle change in his weak aura, Ye Cang Tian's face immediately broke into a smile.
Then, Ye Cang Tian nodded at him and casually tossed him a Nine Heavens Life Extending Pill.
The next moment, Ye Cang Tian turned and slowly walked towards Bing Ji, speaking as he walked, "You want his life before you've even defeated me. You really don't take me seriously!"
"You?"
"Listening to your arrogant tone, your strength seems to be above his."
"But even so, in front of me, Bing Ji, you are nothing more than an ant!"
Bing Ji glanced at Ye Cang Tian, her eyes full of disdain.
In her eyes, the more someone boasted, the less capable they were. This meant that even if the other party was stronger than Ye Zheng Hao, they wouldn't be much stronger.
Therefore, she didn't take the other party seriously at all.
Heh heh.
When Ye Cang Tian heard her words, he immediately laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to say what I wanted to say. Then we don't need to waste words. Let's settle this with action!"
As he spoke, Ye Cang Tian slowly took out his Golden Great Ring Blade.
Looking at the gleaming Golden Great Ring Blade, Bing Ji's face showed a dismissive smile again, further solidifying her previous thoughts.
The Golden Great Ring Blade was a decent weapon in the ruins, but for experts in the Eighth and Ninth Heaven Realms, it was too ordinary.
Besides, would truly powerful individuals lack suitable weapons?
It must be due to insufficient strength that they dared not explore those dangerous places.
Thinking this, Bing Ji's gaze gradually turned cold. She then brandished her Ice Crystal Sword again, "Little bug, I want to see how you'll resist my ice crystal power!"
As the sword swung, ice crystals fell like snow. These ice crystals seemed to have a mind of their own, encircling Ye Cang Tian and clinging tightly to him.
In a short time, a layer of shining ice had formed on Ye Cang Tian, and this ice layer was constantly thickening.
He looked like an ice sculpture!
Seeing this, Bing Yao in the corner was utterly shocked. Ye Cang Tian had just stepped forward, and before he could even make a move, he was frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Brother Ye!"
In an instant, tears of regret streamed down her face. If it weren't for helping her, how could he have perished here!
The next moment, she drew her long sword, intending to fight Bing Ji to the death.
There was no other way. Ye Zheng Hao was severely injured, Ye Cang Tian was frozen into an ice sculpture, and the only fighting power, the only hope left on the field, was her. She had to step forward.
"Come back!"
As soon as she took a step, Bing Yao was grabbed by a large hand. She turned to look at the heavily injured Ye Zheng Hao.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. Just watch obediently!"
Hearing his voice, Bing Yao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to believe him, as he wouldn't joke about her life!
"Heh heh, what jokes are you guys telling!"
On the other side, after freezing Ye Cang Tian, Bing Ji also turned her attention to Bing Yao and the others.
As soon as she heard their conversation, she couldn't help but laugh.
Speaking of which, Ye Cang Tian had been so arrogant earlier, she had truly thought he was a king!
But in the end, he was frozen as soon as he stepped forward. How could he be a king, he was clearly a good-for-nothing!
"You seem to be laughing too early!"
Ye Zheng Hao's gaze shifted to Bing Ji, his face full of disdain. At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed towards Ye Cang Tian, indicating for her to take a good look.
"This… how is this possible!"
Bing Ji glanced at the ice sculpture again, and was instantly stunned.
In her perception, the ice layer on the other person's body was not only not thickening.
Instead, it was thinning at an astonishing speed, and it was from the inside out. It looked as if the other person was continuously absorbing her ice crystal power!
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation in her memory.
Thinking this, Bing Ji swung her sword, directly dispelling the ice-sealing power. The reason was very simple: she couldn't be a dressmaker for others for free!
As the ice-sealing power dissipated, the ice crystals on Ye Cang Tian also vanished.
He looked at Bing Ji with a smile and said playfully, "Why aren't you continuing? It was quite refreshing and cool!"
"You..."
One sentence almost made Bing Ji spit out blood. Her body trembled.
The next moment, her eyes shot out killing intent, and ice crystals around her began to fall again, but this time they attached themselves to the Ice Crystal Sword.
Seeing the Ice Crystal Great Sword condense again, Ye Cang Tian wore a look of disdain. "Are you planning to use the same move on me again?"
"I'm not that stupid!"
Bing Ji snorted coldly. She knew clearly that in a duel between experts, using the same move twice could very well mean death.
As her voice fell, she swung her great sword again.
Instantly, a small magic array appeared on the floor of the grand hall. In a flash, snow and ice fell, forming an ice and snow barrier in front of Ye Cang Tian.
All of this was not too late. The moment the barrier was generated, Bing Ji subsequently threw the great sword into the air.
After completing all this, Bing Ji also began to pant. It was evident that this move consumed a lot of her energy.
However, at this moment, a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
This was her ultimate combination kill move. Throughout history, it had slain countless powerful individuals. She believed that with this, she could still slay Ye Cang Tian.
Within the barrier.
Ye Cang Tian stood amidst the ice and snow, his gaze becoming solemn.
The temperature within the barrier was extremely low, and even he could feel a chill. If it were Ye Zheng Hao in this situation, even if he didn't turn into an ice sculpture, his combat power would be greatly reduced.
Just as Ye Cang Tian was lost in thought, contemplating what kind of attack the opponent would use against him.
A giant ice crystal sword gradually condensed in the sky. In the blink of an eye, it had formed and locked onto him.
Almost instantaneously, the ice crystal great sword, like a bolt of lightning, struck down at him.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Ye Cang Tian let out a cold snort. The Golden Great Ring Blade was instantly brandished, and with a single move, "Blind Dragon," he ferociously met the attack.
Outside the barrier.
After panting for a short while, Bing Ji looked towards Bing Yao and the others.
In her eyes, Ye Cang Tian was already doomed. Now was the time to end Bing Yao and the others' lives!
She slowly stood up and walked towards them.
Boom!
A deafening sound erupted. The indestructible ice crystal barrier instantly shattered, and the violent spiritual energy directly blew Bing Ji away.
"How is this possible?"
Bing Ji wiped the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, looking at everything with extreme shock.
She was a peak Great Perfection Realm expert, only one step away from becoming a Heavenly Realm expert.
And in her eyes, with the power of this combination move, she could definitely be considered the strongest below the Heavenly Realm.
Even when facing an ordinary Heavenly Realm expert, she believed she had the strength to fight!
Therefore, what was happening before her was simply incomprehensible to her!
"Could it be, could it be that you are a Heavenly Realm expert..."
Hearing Bing Ji's voice, Ye Cang Tian glanced over. Seeing the bloodstain at the corner of her mouth, his face immediately showed a mocking smile.
He said lightly, "Who said only Heavenly Realm experts can deal with you? You have to know, there's always someone better, and there's always a heaven beyond heaven!"
While saying this, even he had to admit Bing Ji's formidable power in his heart. If he were not a Heavenly Realm expert, it would likely not be an easy task to take her down.
Perhaps he would even have to pay a certain price.
