"Mr. Neuvillette didn't use his full strength just now. He didn't even reveal one ten-thousandth of his power."
"You lost, yet you still put on the airs of a seeker of the Dao."
The Snow Empress walked toward Bo Saixi one step at a time. With each step, an ice flower bloomed beneath her feet.
"In my view, this isn't seeking the Dao."
"Are you using this as an excuse to test Mr. Neuvillette's limits, or do you think that since you lost, you should at least lose with dignity and preserve the reputation of Sea God Island?"
Bo Saixi's expression changed.
"That wasn't my intention."
"Whether it was or not, you know the truth."
The Snow Empress had no intention of listening to her explanation.
As a Soul Beast, she had never had much patience for the schemes and machinations of powerful humans.
Especially humans who relied on the power of gods.
"Though the Far North and the ocean aren't connected, we're still neighbors."
"Since Mr. Neuvillette can't be bothered with your little schemes, I'll be the one to bring you to your senses."
Before she had finished speaking,
the snow lotus in the Snow Empress's hand suddenly bloomed.
Emperor's Palm: Great Cold Without Snow.
There were no flashy lights or earth-shaking booms.
Only a pure, extreme chill that pierced through space in an instant.
Bo Saixi's pupils contracted.
She wanted to dodge, to summon her Soul Power for defense.
But Neuvillette had just stripped away her sense of control over "water," and that feeling of helplessness still lingered in her body.
What was more, they were out at sea, yet standing on ice.
This was the Snow Empress's home ground.
Whoosh—
A cold wind swept past.
White frost instantly spread over the Iudex's Cane in Bo Saixi's hand.
