Chapter 2230: Chapter 2227: Ice Barbarian

The battle on the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena is still ongoing.

However, the situation has already changed.

Nangong Ming’s saber is now effortlessly parried by Xiao Yi.

In other words, Nangong Ming is no longer suppressing.

Their fight has reached a stalemate.

On the Chief platform.

Guardian Nangong’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "What’s going on? This kid is up to something."

"He was clearly completely suppressed before."

Guardian Bing’s expression suddenly turned grave and then ugly.

"He is predicting Nangong Ming’s saber, even managing to move a step ahead."

"I understand now, this kid has prolonged the battle for a full two hours, and he has already seen through Nangong Ming’s Mingluo Saber Technique."

"What?" Guardian Nangong was shocked and then sneered.

"What a joke, the Mingluo Saber Technique is a part of the Ancient Sword Technique, and only the Grandmaster possesses this inheritance in the current age."

"This Sword Technique is exceedingly profound, even Ming’er had to cultivate arduously on the fourth floor of the Ice Palace for three months before he could comprehend and cultivate it."

"Could this kid, in just two hours and amidst battle, see through Ming’er’s Sword Technique?"

"That’s absolutely impossible."

"Why delude yourself." Xia Yifeng, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"The result will be evident from the fight on the Martial Arts Arena."

"Hmph." Guardian Nangong let out a cold snort.

Guardian Bing’s face remained cold, silent.

On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi’s sword moved like a dance.

At this moment, stopping Nangong Ming’s saber was no longer a difficult task.

He had indeed seen through the Mingluo Saber Technique.

But to say he had truly understood its mysteries or comprehended it, that was a stretch.

The Mingluo Saber Technique is undeniably profound and mysterious.

Simply having fire in the saber, with ice and fire melding as one, already demonstrates the mystery and extraordinariness of this Ancient Sword Technique.

Nangong Ming, as a martial artist who controls this technique, naturally can easily control the trajectory of the fire within the saber, reaching a level of mastery like a part of his own body.

For outsiders to see through it, it’s near impossible.

But don’t forget, Xiao Yi is a Sword Dao Expert, and also a Fire Control Warrior.

The reason he kept testing the Mingluo Saber Technique was that he had long sensed a faint, imperceptible sense of the Fire Dao within it.

However, this also precisely illustrates the mystery of the Mingluo Saber Technique.

With Xiao Yi’s fire control abilities, bolstered by numerous powerful flames, his fire control skills are unmatched by almost anyone in the contemporary world, of course excluding a few old characters.

Logically, the flame aura should not be able to escape his eyes.

Yet even so, he only barely perceived the imperceptible fire within the saber, and it took him a full two hours to fully confirm it.

"The battle should end now." Xiao Yi shook his head.

Clang...

Xiao Yi’s sword suddenly accelerated in speed.

The tip of the sword directly bypassed Nangong Ming’s saber, pointing straight at Nangong Ming’s throat.

"You..." Nangong Ming’s expression changed, but feeling the coldness at his throat, he dared not move at all.

"The Mingluo Saber Technique is indeed powerful."

"It’s just a pity you have only just begun to grasp it, and your battle strength hasn’t surpassed the realm of the Second Layer Peak."

"Next time, when you have better control over the Mingluo Saber Technique, perhaps you will have a chance to defeat the current me."

"Who are you to talk..." Nangong Ming stepped back, then swung his saber once more.

Xiao Yi shook his head; his sword swung heavily.

This strike relied on brute force.

This sword was a direct confrontation.

"A direct confrontation?" Nangong Ming sneered, "Xiao Yi, have you forgotten the bitterness before? Wait for your sword to shatter..."

Bang...

The saber and sword collided.

But the result was Nangong Ming’s saber shattering.

In Nangong Ming’s disbelieving gaze, Xiao Yi’s sword directly shattered the saber and struck heavily onto his body.

Instinct told him, this sword was overwhelmingly domineering.

Bang... a loud rumble.

Nangong Ming’s figure was sent flying.

Not until he fell outside the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena did he finally spout a mouthful of foul blood, his face flushing white.

"Senior Brother Ming." Several Venerable Envoys exclaimed.

"Ming’er." Guardian Nangong’s expression changed.

Xiao Yi sheathed his sword thereafter, he had won this battle as well.

Regarding sheer ferocity, the Domineering Sword Technique is nearly the pinnacle of Sword Dao.

"Next." Xiao Yi said calmly.

"You...I will meet you." There were still five Venerable Envoys on the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena, two of them shouted coldly.

"Step down." At this moment, one of those who had been calm all along, said coldly.

"Senior Brother Mann." The two quickly looked towards the speaker.

Senior Brother Mann, among the Eight Venerable Envoys, had remained calm since his appearance.

Senior Brother Mann, surnamed Bing, named Mann.

Bing Mann, head of the Eight Venerable Envoys, ranked first, strongest in strength.

Bing Mann, the first among the younger generation of the Bing Family.

Also the strongest among the current younger generation of the Ice Emperor Palace.

"Senior Brother Mann, let us teach this Xiao Yi a lesson." The two Venerable Envoys’ faces grew cold like frost, speaking in anger.

Bing Mann glanced at the two, coldly said, "Nangong Ming was defeated by this person; how could you two, who are no match for Nangong Ming, be opponents to Xiao Yi?"

Nangong Ming, the third strongest among the Eight Venerable Envoys, possesses twenty-three thousand Daos of cultivation.

These two have cultivation only at eighteen or nineteen thousand Daos, not even reaching the Second Layer Saint Sovereign Realm.

Among the Eight Venerable Envoys, Bing Mei’er and Bing Yu are nearly at the bottom in strength, though they have entered the First Layer Saint Sovereign Realm.

Among the Eight Venerable Envoys, only three have reached the Second Layer Saint Sovereign Realm.

One is Nangong Ming.

The other is...

Bing Mann glanced at the person beside him, coldly said, "Xiao Yi’s battle strength is enough to reach the Peak of Second Layer Saint Sovereign Realm, and he can be considered invincible."

"Even someone at the early stage of the Third Layer Saint Sovereign Realm may not be able to defeat him."

"Among the Eight Venerable Envoys, the only ones qualified to fight him are myself, Nangong Ming, and you."

"But you, I assume, will not make a move."

"Right, Xia Yiming."

Indeed, among the Eight Venerable Envoys, only three have the Second Layer Saint Sovereign Realm cultivation; the second person is this Xia Yiming.

Xia Yiming, ranked second among the Eight Venerable Envoys, possesses twenty-six thousand Daos of cultivation.

Xia Yiming, who had been silent, now said coldly, "My sword, without the permission of my family’s elders, cannot be unsheathed."

"I understand." Bing Mann nodded coldly, took a step forward.

Then, turned his head slightly, and softly said, "Your Xia Family has always been on good terms with the Black Demon Hall, friendly with that surname Luo."

"One day, I will show you, your Xia Family is gravely mistaken."

As the words fell, Bing Mann’s figure flickered, and he rushed out.

In place, Xia Yiming furrowed his brows, remaining silent.

Surrounding, with Bing Mann’s leap, the noise burst to its peak for the first time.

"The Barbarian Venerable Envoy has finally made a move."

"The first Heavenly Talent of our Ice Emperor Palace, our Ice Emperor Palace’s pride."

"The Barbarian Venerable Envoy, reputed as the greatest Heavenly Talent of the Ice Emperor Palace in tens of thousands of years, the only one who could shake the Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace ceaselessly, a heaven-defying demon."

"I heard, the Barbarian Venerable Envoy’s talent even surpasses the three founders of our Ice Emperor Palace, the most extraordinary demon in existence."

"This Xiao Yi is undoubtedly defeated this time."
