836 The Unexpected Gues (1/2)
As Nangong Mu said that, the gigantic ice tree lit up with a brilliant radiance. One after another, snow-white flowers bloomed on the branches.
”What is that?”
”How could flowers bloom on an ice tree?”
”Its aura is so powerful!”
The surrounding disciples were shocked to their cores when they saw the flowers blooming on the ice tree. They were also moving back continuously in the meantime.
This was because the ice tree's aura was so powerful that they felt uncomfortable. They couldn't resist it at all and even felt like paying homage to it.
Chi Guyan's aura was unstable as well. The relentless attacks from countless icicle branches had taken a toll on her body.
However, she still heard Nangong Mu's voice clearly.
”Bloom?!” Chi Guyan's heart skipped a beat when she looked up at the icicle branches above her.
She couldn't be 100% sure about Nangong Mu's true intent, but from what Nangong Mu had just said and what she saw, she could guess that it wasn't simply claiming victory in the Heaven Alliance Meeting.
”No, I have to stop Nangong Mu!” The spots of starlight in her eyes suddenly changed as she focused her eyes.
The silvery-white starlight became a faint five-colored radiance.
It wasn't just the radiance in her eyes that changed. Even the massive shadow behind her started transforming, and the scales on its tail became five-colored too.
Then, Chi Guyan charged down on Nangong Mu.
Her sword moved swiftly and completely tore apart the icicle branches that wrapped towards her. She bolted towards Nangong Mu from the center of the gigantic ice tree.
”Chi Guyan!” Nangong Mu was staring at her with one knee on the ground. He gritted his teeth tightly, and even his hands were trembling a little.
Nevertheless, he quickly forced himself up and tried his hardest to protect his chest with the Green and Blue Dual Blade.
Boom!
The ice and snow covering the ground was blown apart. Countless ice shards flew everywhere as if it was hailing on Heaven's Peak.
After the loud bang, two figures started colliding at extreme speed.
Boom!
Clang clang…
It was the sound of the continuous clash between swords. Blood was in the air and the altar was overrun with a chilling atmosphere. The surrounding disciples couldn't even see what was happening.
The only thing that they could see was two figures dashing around in the icy fog and brandishing their swords at each other…
They were so fast that it was almost hard to see them.
”They're so powerful!”
”What exactly is the caliber of this battle?”
”Sage State, this is a battle at the Sage State. Moreover, this has far exceeded the level of normal Sages. I've never seen a battle like this before.”
The spectating disciples were truly awestruck. Although they had been cultivating in their sects, it was exceptionally difficult to witness a battle of this caliber.
After all, there weren't many experts at this level even in the entire Holy Region.
”Mu'er, I didn't expect that you could go to such an extent!” Nangong Tian's expression finally changed. There was a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingfeng, the disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion, as well as Ping Yang, were all staring at the two figures in the icy fog nervously.
Boom! The ice and snow on the ground was split open once again. Countless ice shards were sent flying as a huge crack appeared through the icy fog.
It was a sword mark!
One that was powerful enough to create a crack in the ground!
Buzz! A five-colored radiance appeared. Blue, red, black, white, and gold radiances mixed around and illuminated the snow-white icy fog completely.
After the five-colored radiance appeared, a person flew out of the fog and crashed into the gigantic ice tree.
”Pfttt!” That person spewed blood into the air.
Nangong Mu's eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe, or rather, he couldn't accept the outcome. However, he had truly lost all his strength already.
Thump! He fell onto the ground, and the snow-white armor covering his body turned into spots of white light and gradually dissipated in the air.
There was a person in front of him… She was exerting all her might to keep herself standing by using her sword as support. Her pink dress was fully tainted with blood, but no one knew whose blood it was.
It was clear that Chi Guyan was at her limits.
However, the massive snake tail behind her, covered by five-colored scales, was still swinging around. It clashed against the ice and shattered it completely.
An overpowering aura.
The aura that belonged to someone at the top of the world, proud and aloof.
”You've… Lost!” Chi Guyan was staring at Nangong Mu as she said that in an exhausted tone.
”No, I… I did not…” Nangong Mu wanted to stand up but to no avail. He was also covered in blood.
”Mu'er!”
”Guyan!”
”Sister Yan!”
Nangong Tian's, Mu Qingfeng's, and Ping Yang's voices were heard simultaneously. They looked equally anxious and desperate.
”I… I did not… Lose…” Nangong Mu was still struggling.
Chi Guyan waved her hand softly and walked towards Nangong Mu one step at a time. With every step she took, she sweated profusely.
The spectating disciples were stunned by this scene. However, none of them said a word, because the only thing they could do at this moment was to wait quietly.
Finally, Chi Guyan came in front of Nangong Mu.
”You've lost…”
”No, I… I won't lose again!”
Slash! Her sword pierced through Nangong Mu's arm. Blood gushed out and flowed off the sword and onto the ground. With that, Nangong Mu's Green and Blue Dual Blade finally fell out of his hands.
Rumble!
The gigantic ice tree started shaking at this moment. Cracks started appearing on the branches and the snow-white flowers turned into spots of white light and dissipated into the air.
