Chapter 62 The Ice Kingdom Competition (5)

Fan Chen smiled slightly, his gaze profound: "Although Mo Heiyue has a high level of cultivation, his cultivation speed is too fast, his foundation is unstable, and he is also impatient. This is his biggest weakness. On the other hand, although Qing Guimian's cultivation is slightly inferior, his foundation is solid, and he is meticulous and good at winning against the odds."

Yun Muhan nodded and turned his gaze to the dueling platform. He saw Mo Heiyue dressed in black with a cold expression, while Qing Guimian wore a mask with a blue face and fangs and had a slightly thin figure.

Mo Heiyue's figure blurred, transforming into a black shadow. Her longsword danced in her hand, unleashing a torrent of sword energy that aimed directly at Qing Guimian. Qing Guimian, however, remained calm and composed, weaving nimbly through the sword energy. He occasionally swung his longsword, each strike perfectly deflecting Mo Heiyue's attacks.

Dozens of rounds passed, and the battle between the two became increasingly fierce. Mo Heiyue's swordsmanship grew more and more ferocious, each strike accompanied by the sound of air being cut, while Qing Guimian remained calm, each counterattack precise and accurate.

Watching the battle unfold, Yun Muhan couldn't help but exclaim, "Fellow Daoist Fan, your insight is truly remarkable. Qing Guimian's fighting style completely counters Mo Heiyue's."

Fan Chen nodded: "Although Mo Heiyue's attacks are fierce, Qing Guimian always manages to defuse them at crucial moments, and his counterattacks are becoming increasingly sharp, leaving Mo Heiyue with more and more openings."

As the battle continued, Mo Heiyue's offensive gradually became somewhat chaotic, while Qing Guimian seized the opportunity, slashing through Mo Heiyue's defenses and aiming straight for his vitals.

With a loud thud, Mo Heiyue was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering a serious injury.

The blue-faced demon stood with his sword sheathed, his eyes beneath the mask revealing a hint of weariness, but more so, the joy of victory.

"In the ninth match of the Ice Kingdom competition, the Blue Demon wins!"

Yun Muhan and Fan Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's approval of the Azure Ghost Mask in their eyes. This battle was not only a contest of cultivation, but also a battle of wisdom and willpower.

Yun Muhan felt a chill run down his spine: Did that Green Ghost Mask smile at me just now?

Dugu Jianling: Damn it, I've been targeted again. I must deal with this Green Ghost Mask beforehand; he must be plotting against you.

"Match 10: Morig, a fourth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, versus Luo Heijiao, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Please enter the arena."

Morig was thrown out of the arena moments later.

"In the tenth match of the Ice Kingdom competition, Luo Heijiao emerged victorious."

"The eleventh match is between Bing Luoji, who is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and Luo Juju, who is at the eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Icerock: "I surrender. This is a battle we can't win."

"In the eleventh match of the Ice Kingdom competition, Luo Juju won."

"Match 12: Bing Yue Shi, mid-Nascent Soul stage, versus Linghu Chong, mid-Nascent Soul stage. Please enter the arena."

After hundreds of rounds, Ice Moon Eclipse collapsed, exhausted.

"Linghu Chong wins the twelfth match of the Ice Kingdom competition."

"This Linghu Chong's strength..."

"Fellow Daoist Yun, I have observed this Linghu Chong. The most regrettable thing is that his origins are unknown. Otherwise, he could definitely be called a famous general of his generation."

"Match 13: Ice Wolf, a fourth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, versus Luo Shuangmian, a seventh-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Please enter the arena."

"What do you think of this match, Fellow Daoist Yun?"

Yun Muhan: "This Ice Wolf is destined for more than just this, but unfortunately... it encountered Luo Shuangmian at this time! A crushing defeat."

Amid cheers from the audience, Ice Wolf and Luo Shuangmian slowly walked into the arena.

Ice Wolf is a Nascent Soul Stage 4 cultivator known for his speed and ice magic, while Luo Shuangmian is a Nascent Soul Stage 7 cultivator known for his strength and fire magic.

The duel between the two was full of suspense from the very beginning.

Ice Wolf launched the first attack, his figure moving quickly across the arena, leaving behind afterimages, while simultaneously unleashing Ice Spikes in an attempt to freeze Luo Shuangmian's movements.

However, Luo Shuangmian's strength far surpassed that of the Ice Wolf. He simply smiled and a powerful flame suddenly erupted from his body, instantly vaporizing the ice spikes.

"It seems your strength is nothing special," Luo Shuangmian mocked, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The Ice Wolf's heart tightened; he knew his opponent was far stronger than he had imagined. He decided to change tactics and unleash a more powerful ice spell—Freezing Thousand Miles. This spell could freeze everything around it, forming a vast ice domain to restrict his opponent's movements.

However, Luo Shuangmian seemed to have been prepared. His body suddenly turned into flames, as if he had merged into the fire, and then transformed into a streak of fire, charging directly towards the Ice Wolf. The Ice Wolf's Thousand Miles of Ice Seal was destroyed by Luo Shuangmian's fiery impact before it could fully form.

"Is this the power of a seventh-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"I shouldn't say it like that. I should say... is this the power of Luo's dual nature?"

"How terrifying!"

"It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Shuangmian and Mo Yanying are both considered the future of fire element."
