Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2244: Chapter 2241: Life and Death Irrelevant

Xiao Yi’s heart skipped a beat, his face also slightly embarrassed.

Earlier, when the Four Great Guardians, each elder, and the Sixteen Venerable Envoys flew through the air, he hadn’t paid attention to these young heavenly talents and therefore was indifferent.

But now, the moment this woman stepped forward, he immediately recognized her.

She was the one he had encountered when resisting the Endless Ice Storm before.

As for the woman, her expression was indifferent, her face showing no ripples or change.

The icy aura emanating from her entire being was like an Ice Mountain that wouldn’t melt for ten thousand years.

”Begin.” Lu Long coldly shouted from the chief platform.

”Wait.” Xia Canglan hurriedly spoke, ”Guardian Lu Long hasn’t explained clearly how we will compete.”

”How to compete?” Lu Long glanced disdainfully at Xia Canglan, ”Do you think this old man is as shameless as your Ice Emperor Palace?”

”Just using other forces to bolster your own presence?”

It was clear that Lu Long was referring to Xia Canglan and Xia Yifeng’s act of bringing out the eight Master of the Main Halls to press him just now.

”Or perhaps, a relay battle? Eight against one siege? Even if you win, it would also tarnish the prestige of the Ice Venerate Ancestor.”

Lu Long glanced at Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong with equal disdain.

”Boy.” Lu Long looked at Xiao Yi, referring to him not as ’Master Xiao Yi’ but calling him ’boy’ in public.

”I know all about what happened yesterday.”

”Since you can defeat the Ice Barbarian, the first heavenly talent of the Ice Emperor Palace, and can also defeat their eight envoys together.”

”Then it’s clear that a common envoy from my Ice Storm Sword Pavilion won’t be a match for you. My pavilion will send just one person; beating Lingg Shuang is considered your victory.”

”What do you mean?” On the side, Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong immediately turned cold-faced.

Lu Long’s remarks implied that even the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion’s Lu Lingshuang could defeat the Ice Emperor Palace’s eight envoys?

”What do you think?” Lu Long asked them, ”If you’re not as strong, not as skilled, what is there to say?”

”Old ones can’t surpass others, neither can the young ones even when combined, yet you have face?”

”You...” Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong were already furious.

”Enough.” Xia Yifeng spoke solemnly, ”Meeting and arguing, let’s stay calm today.”

”Hmph.” Lu Long snorted coldly, ignoring the three of them and continued looking at Xiao Yi.

”I am not as shameless as the Ice Emperor Palace, imposing numerous restrictions on you.”

”Your sword, Qi-Blood Dao, Secret Techniques, etc., all may be used.”

”But...” Lu Long’s tone grew heavy, ”My Ice Storm Sword Pavilion is a Sword Dao legacy, the Ice Venerate Ancestor excelled in Sword Dao.”

”If you wish to prove you are qualified, you can only use Sword Dao.”

”Beat Lingg Shuang with Sword Dao, and I’ll consider you’ve won.”

”Whatever.” Xiao Yi shrugged and replied casually.

Only allowing the use of Sword Dao can also be seen as a restriction.

But the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion is a Sword Dao power, and Xiao Yi is a famous Sword Dao demon.

Both sides dividing victory with Sword Dao and no other restrictions seems fairer.

”Are you sure?” Guardian Bing looked at Lu Long, gravely, ”Guardian Lu Long, it’s good to be confident, but if because of this, the pavilion is defeated, desecrating the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s legacy, can you bear the consequences?”

Guardian Nangong directly added, ”Old geezer Lu Long, have you forgotten Xiao Yi’s astonishing battle record?”

”I haven’t forgotten.” Lu Long said coldly, ”I just hope this will be a fair fight, otherwise, that would be the true desecration of the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s legacy.”

”The Sixteen Venerable Envoys received their inheritance and opportunities on the Ice Palace Fourth Floor months ago.”

”Lingg Shuang had the greatest opportunity among them; if this doesn’t beat Xiao Yi’s Sword Dao, but requires many limitations, then we lack confidence in the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s legacy.”

”Additionally.” Lu Long suddenly chuckled coldly, ”Astounding battle record? Hmph, that’s uncertain.”

”In terms of Sword Dao, the Sword Dao from the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s legacy won’t be inferior to anyone.”

”In terms of Secret Techniques and methods, the ancestor’s legacy is likewise powerful among the current era.”

”As for Holy Artifacts...” Lu Long paused, his aura suddenly bursting forth, ”Do you think my Ice Storm Sword Pavilion doesn’t have any?”

Clang... A shocking sword sound suddenly rang out.

A sword, entirely snow-white, was immediately thrown by Lu Long.

”Lingg Shuang, catch the sword.”

”Yes.” Lu Lingshuang caught it in one hand.

Bang... It was a deep sound.

The hilt entered her hand, visibly making Lu Lingshuang’s fair and slender hand tremble slightly.

At the same time, crackling...

The Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena beneath Lu Lingshuang’s feet began to crack.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, ”What a heavy sword.”

The sword, entirely snow-white, but its blade was palm-wide, and the sword body was longer than the ordinary swords by more than half.

This is a heavy sword, also a wide and giant sword.

”Top-grade Holy Artifact.” Xiao Yi could immediately identify the tier of this heavy sword.

On the chief platform, Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong were shocked, ”The sword of the Lu Family Ancestor, Ice Storm Giant Sword?”

The Lu Family Ancestor, naturally one of Ice Venerable’s four direct disciples, founder of the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion.

The Ice Storm Giant Sword, ranked as a top-grade Holy Artifact.

”Alright, let’s begin.” Lu Long shouted loudly from the chief platform, then leaned back in his seat, arms crossed over his chest, his old but domineering gaze fixed on the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.

”Wait.” Another voice spoke.

This time, it was Lu Lingshuang speaking.

That pleasant voice, though icy, made one’s heart feel a burst of comfort.

”Lingg Shuang, what is it?” Lu Long frowned.

Lu Lingshuang said indifferently, ”Master, are there any other rules for this battle?”

Suddenly, there was an uproar, full of discussions.

”Could it be Lu Lingshuang is afraid?”

”It’s expected. Xiao Yi’s notorious power and astonishing battle record; without many restrictions, which ordinary heavenly talent would dare fight him?”

On the chief platform, Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong laughed coldly, ”Guardian Lu Long, it seems you yourself are overconfident; your pavilion’s disciples are not as arrogant as you.”

Lu Long’s frown tightened further, ”Do you need more restrictions?”

”No.” Lu Lingshuang shook her head coldly, ”I want to ask if this battle considers life and death?”

”Lingg Shuang fears she might act without restraint, and if careless, cause serious consequences...”

Lu Lingshuang’s words paused, but her tone was frostily intense.

”Blades and swords have no eyes; if I injure Master Xiao Yi because of this...”

Suddenly, the audience was abuzz, instantly understanding Lu Lingshuang’s meaning.

”No wonder she’s the first heavenly talent of our Endless Snow Mountain, truly confident beyond measure.”

”Confident, icy, Lu Lingshuang, truly lives up to her reputation.”

On the chief platform, Lu Long smiled, speaking loudly, ”This battle, life and death don’t matter.”

Though Xiao Yi’s identity is clear, none of the old folks dare to strike him.

But, should he fall in battle against peers, even perish, it can only be blamed on his lack of skill.

After all, it is Xiao Yi challenging the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion now.

Besides, if the Eight Palaces’ Heavenly Pride can’t exceed the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion’s heavenly talent, what more is there to say?

Lu Lingshuang nodded, ”Understood.”

In that instant, Lu Lingshuang’s eyes clearly unleashed a flash of killing intent.
