Starfrost Faction Underground Base, Ice Cavern Passage
Chen Xing's crimson blade light poured down upon Jeremiah like a torrential rain. Every slash was wrapped in scorching Bloodflame, burning the air in the passage until it warped.
Jeremiah darted miserably through the blade light. Melted ice water clung to his instant-noodle curls, and even the hem of his gray hoodie had been scorched black by the flames.
The ice that had once covered the passage had long since vanished, leaving only wet puddles behind.
Under the steaming heat of Chen Xing's Bloodflame, those puddles immediately turned into a vast expanse of white mist.
The entire underground passage was shrouded in an inexplicable heat, like a blazing sauna.
Star Energy Technique: Ice Prism Prison!
Within the white mist, Jeremiah suddenly raised a hand. More than a dozen ice prisms as thick as arms condensed in midair.
A pale-blue chill glimmered across the surfaces of the prisms. Clearly, they contained far more star energy than the ice techniques he had used against Chen Kong before.
But once those ice prisms came within three meters of Chen Xing, she gripped the Demonic Blade expressionlessly and gave her wrist a slight turn.
The next second, crimson flames swirled into a vortex, like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast, swallowing every ice prism in one bite.
There was no ear-piercing crash, nor any sign of shattered ice crystals. Those seemingly sharp ice prisms failed to last even half a second within the fiery vortex before they were completely vaporized into mist, leaving not even a trace of ice crystal debris behind.
"Jeremiah, is this... all you can do?"
Chen Xing's voice came from within the fiery vortex. Her cold, beautiful face remained perfectly calm, with only a clear flash of disappointment passing through her eyes.
