Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

The many cultivators who had followed Xiao Chen all focused on him and Bai Wuxue. They appeared quite excited.

“After not seeing you for some time, you have grown stronger. However, you still will not be able to escape death.”

Bai Wuxue snorted coldly, and his figure flashed amidst the boundless snow. He arrived before Xiao Chen in an instant and sent out a palm strike at Xiao Chen’s head.

The Azure Dragon images circled Xiao Chen as he took three steps back. His saber light danced around, giving off resplendent electric lights. In their wake, the drifting snow exploded and turned into water droplets that fell to the ground.

Bai Wuxue’s state of ice was extremely strong. It had already touched the threshold of the will of ice.

If Xiao Chen could not use his state of thunder to neutralize it, it would degrade his speed severely. After the cold Qi poured into his body and it accumulated to a certain degree, it would turn into a frost poison. At which point, he would definitely lose.

Although Xiao Chen’s state of thunder was slightly weaker than his opponent’s state, it contained the immortal attribute, so it would not shatter that easily.

“Bang!”

Bai Wuxue’s palm looked crystal-clear as it gave off a cold light. When it came in contact with Xiao Chen’s saber, it flared, instantly sealing the Lunar Shadow Saber in ice.

A white frost crept down the saber to the handle, threatening to encase Xiao Chen in ice.

Xiao Chen did not panic. He simply held up two fingers on his left hand and pressed them on the bottom of the blade. Then, pure lightning-attributed Quintessence turned into thunder fire that shot upwards.

The flames immediately melted the cold Qi and gave off steam.

However, Bai Wuxue did not even bother looking. He continued pressing forward and used his palm as a saber, hacking down at Xiao Chen’s head.

The drifting snow gathered into a line, turning into cold saber light that resembled metal, giving off a dazzling snow-white radiance.

Xiao Chen tilted his body and moved back, dodging quickly. He did not give Bai Wuxue any chance to get near.

“Xiu!”

Suddenly, Bai Wuxue’s saber light turned into a screen of ice. If Xiao Chen had been half a beat slower, he would have crashed into that ice screen.

Snow drifted and lightning flashed. The two people in the air fought at an increasingly faster pace. Soon, the others could no longer make out their appearances clearly.

The observers could only see two vague figures, one white and one blue. The blue figure gave off an overwhelming cold while the white figure dazzled with lightning flashes.

As saber Qi and palm wind clashed, boundless energy propagated into the surroundings, blasting holes in the ground.

“That is strange. Who is that? Unexpectedly, he can force Bai Wuxue to use his full power and can still stand his ground.”

Wang Meng, one of the seven giants, who had already obtained victory, stood on one of the True Dragon remains. His mind filled with doubts as he contemplated the scene.

He was the most arrogant of the seven giants. Even when he ran into Nuan Muyun, one of the three Holy Scions, he did not give way to her.

Wang Meng asked his junior brothers behind him, “Who is that white figure? Any of you know?”

Everyone scratched their heads, thinking hard, but no one could provide an answer. Finally, a younger female disciple ventured uncertainly, “Could he be that madman from the Supreme Sky Sect? That person likes to wear white and is a bladesman as well.”

After that female disciple explained Xiao Chen’s story, Wang Meng’s expression changed slightly. Excitement flashed in his eyes as he said, “Interesting. Such a madman actually appeared in the Tianwu Domain, yet I, Wang Meng, did not know about it.”

Having lost to Wang Meng in the fight over the True Dragon remains, Jiang Zeyuan, another one of the seven giants, now turned his attention to Xiao Chen and Bai Wuxue’s fight.

Jiang Zeyuan entered deep thought while holding a spear. He smiled and said, “This person’s saber intent seems to have reached seventy percent comprehension. Are you not afraid that he will surpass you?”

Wang Meng fiddled with the saber on his back and smiled. “Aside from Feng Xingsheng, I look down on all the bladesmen in the Tianwu Domain. I would be glad if more people like him appeared. It has been a long time since I met with an opponent worthy of my saber.”

On another one of the True Dragon remains, Feng Xingsheng, who had defeated the Zhang Clan and Jun Clan of the Tianwu Domain’s four Noble Clans, watched Xiao Chen fight with Bai Wuxue. Then he mulled over the situation.

One of the disciples behind him said with some shock, “First Senior Brother, this White Robed Bladesman is really battling it out Bai Wuxue. Furthermore, he is not losing.”

Feng Xingsheng slowly sheathed his saber and sighed, “Originally, the one that I intended to challenge among the seven giants was Bai Wuxue. Looks like I will have to change my target.”

Initially, when Feng Xingsheng found out about Xiao Chen challenging Bai Wuxue, he had been interested. However, upon looking into the matter, he had concluded that Xiao Chen had no chance of winning.

Now that he saw Xiao Chen’s strength, he found it hard to predict the results. If Xiao Chen had another half year, even if he could not defeat Bai Wuxue, he still might pull a draw.

In that case, there would be no point in Feng Xingsheng challenging Bai Wuxue.

The scions of the Zhang Clan and Jun Clan paid attention to this battle as well. Challenging one of the seven giants was a common goal of the outstanding talents of the younger generation.

But the seven giants became more and more dazzling over the many years. It had been very long since anyone had attempted it. They were all afraid of humiliating themselves and staining their reputation.

However, now, here was someone—a mere Medial Grade Martial Monarch—giving Bai Wuxue this much trouble. The two clans’ scions were greatly astonished.

An Junxi, who was currently fighting with the five Fiend Race half-Sages at the central True Dragon remains, also paid some attention to Xiao Chen and Bai Wuxue’s fight.

Although An Junxi did not care much about his title as one of seven giants, Xiao Chen’s immortal state of thunder had piqued his interest.

“The immortal state of thunder. If I have time, I should go and seek some advice from this person. Even the Sage elders of the Thunder and Lightning Palace could not comprehend the immortal lightning.”

“Hu chi!”

Wanting to take advantage of An Junxi’s distraction, a Fiend Race loose cultivator forcefully advanced, intending to take down his opponent and snatch this set of True Dragon remains, which was undoubtedly the most valuable one.

An Junxi smiled coldly and flicked his wrist. His lightning whip moved like a berserk dragon, revealing its ferociousness. The other four loose cultivators screamed in response.

Although An Junxi was originally the one who exposed an opening, he took advantage of the moment one of the five Fiend Race loose cultivators left their formation and turned the tables, regaining the upper hand.

This sudden development startled the Fiend Race loose cultivator that tried to sneak-attack An Junxi. He quickly rejoined the other Fiend Race loose cultivators. No one else dared to act rashly anymore.

“Dance of Snow, Hundred Flower Blossoms!”

Bai Wuxue finally got frustrated with the prolonged battle. So he now used his Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, trying to take down Xiao Chen with one move.

If Bai Wuxue could not defeat Xiao Chen in front of the many people here, his reputation would be in the mud.

Under Bai Wuxue’s control, the drifting snowflakes all gathered into white flower buds. While these waited to blossom, they absorbed all the ice-attributed Spiritual Energy in the area.

The formless ice-attributed Spiritual Energy turned solid at this moment, forming thousands of crystalline lines in the air and reflecting a large amount of light.

The radiance made the ice flowers looked glorious.

Thousands of ice flowers filled the entire place, not giving Xiao Chen any room to dodge. Bai Wuxue looked at him and sneered. “Hundred Flower Blossoms, bloom!”

The moment Bai Wuxue shouted, the crystalline ice flower buds suddenly blossomed like a pure girl revealing her face and smiling.

The thousands of flowers blossomed, creating a pure and beautiful scene. However, they contained a deadly threat.

Petals flew everywhere and formed a bone-chilling air current. Countless flowers shot at Xiao Chen.

Each petal contained strong ice-attributed Quintessence, and there were thousands of flowers. In such a storm, if even one petal landed on him, it would cause severe internal damage.

Xiao Chen could not let these flowers get near him, not even one.

His expression turned grave. He was in imminent peril this time. As he held his saber with his right hand, he executed the upgraded version of the Sea of Lightning Saber Light Chop—Ghostly Image Chop.

As the saber light danced around, Xiao Chen instantly sent out seventy-two saber lights. Then, each saber light quickly divided into three.

Suddenly, saber lights filled with the state of lightning pervaded Xiao Chen’s surroundings. The air brimmed with saber lights surrounding him securely without any openings.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Immediately, ice flowers crashed into the saber images and generated intense blasts—like an avalanche, oppressive and far-reaching.

Explosions rang out in the vast burial grounds without pause, shaking the entire place violently.

Thousands of snow mountains exploded like rocks shattering, covering five hundred kilometers.

Such a scene seemed to have appeared before the onlookers’ eyes as if they experienced it for themselves.

The oppressive blasts never stopped for a moment. Each time an ice flower exploded, it gave off horrifying ice-attributed energy.

Dance of Snow, Hundred Flower Blossoms looked very beautiful, so heartbreakingly beautiful that one could die.

The many cultivators watching from a distance felt an incomparable dread. Bai Wuxue truly deserved to be one of the seven giants.

Strong winds blew, and snow flew everywhere. Amidst the snowstorm, Xiao Chen’s figure disappeared from view. No one knew his fate.

“That’s it. This Xiao Chen is probably dead or severely injured. Bai Wuxue finally revealed his true strength.”

“It has been so many years since I saw Bai Wuxue execute his Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. For this Xiao Chen to push him to this point, it was worth it.”

“After all, he is one of the seven giants. This Xiao Chen is still too rash. He should have quit while he was ahead.”

The various sect disciples in the burial grounds discussed the battle. They were deeply impressed that Xiao Chen could push Bai Wuxue this far. However, that was all they thought Xiao Chen amounted to.

Jiang Zeyuan of the seven giants held his spear and smiled gently. “In the end, this fellow is still somewhat weak. However, if he can survive this, he will become someone to behold.”

However, Wang Meng, who was sitting on the True Dragon remains, shook his head and said, “The result might not be what you think.”

Jiang Zeyuan frowned and asked, “Could there be something I don’t know? Bai Wuxue can already bring out seventy percent of his Dance of Snow’s might. Even I would find it hard to deal with.”

Wang Meng did not bother with a rebuttal. He smiled and said, “Just keep watching, and you will know!”

Bai Wuxue’s expression relaxed somewhat amidst the ice flying everywhere. He knew full well how strong his Dance of Snow was.

He glanced at the fights below. Shui Lingling was currently contending with two strong true inheritors of the Extreme Yin Sect and would not be able to free herself for now.

“Very good. I shall take this opportunity to end this problem!”

Bai Wuxue’s gaze turned cold as he made up his mind. After this move ended, he would directly eliminate the severely injured Xiao Chen, not leaving any potential dangers for the future.

Just at this moment, a purple electric light suddenly shot out from the icy white world. Quickly following that, the sound of surging water came from the snow and ice.

“Boom!”

The sound of water grew louder, like a vast endless sea. Suddenly, there was an explosion that crushed all the ice and snow into powder.
