"Grandpa!"
As the snow and dust settled, Huyan Li saw his grandfather lying dead. He stood there, stunned.
They had promised to take over Skywater Academy.
To kidnap Shui Bing'er and make her his wife...
Had it all come to nothing now?
It wasn't just Huyan Li. Seeing how powerful Shui Yuerong was, like an immortal descended to earth, everyone at Skywater Academy was dumbstruck.
Especially Han Ningshuang and Xue Furong!
They had just fought those two Soul Douluo for a brief moment and been badly wounded. They knew all too well how powerful they were!
Yet those mighty half-step Titled Douluo had now died like ants.
They hadn't even been able to fight back!
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were also dazed.
Their master now was unfathomable!
They had never seen an ice-attribute Soul Master so powerful.
That force of ice seemed capable of freezing the entire Douluo Continent!
This was Absolute Zero!
This was the Absolute Domain!
This was the ultimate ice-type power they had always sought!
"Just now, I heard you say you wanted to take Sister Bing'er back as your wife. What a boast!"
As Huyan Li stared blankly at the great canyon, an invisible chill suddenly crept up his back.
"I know well enough that you have to pull out the weeds by the roots. Now that the old bastard is dead, you can go join him!"
Huyan Li turned around and saw Li Jiuxuan standing right before him. He hadn't even noticed when he'd come up!
His eyes were cold as a vengeful spirit's. Soul Power gathered in his hand, forming a short ice blade!
Huyan Li's pupils contracted. The next moment, blood sprayed from his chest, and a suffocating sensation swept over him!
Szzzt—!
Huyan Li clutched his throat in disbelief!
That was right—Li Jiuxuan had slit his throat!
It had happened without a sound, while everyone was still stunned by Shui Yuerong's strike!
"You... you..."
Terror filled Huyan Li's eyes. He crumpled to the ground. No matter how hard he clutched his neck, it was useless. His throat had been cut; he was as good as dead. With the last dregs of life left in his body, he kept coughing up blood.
Huyan Li was a thirty-fifth-rank Soul Elder, but he hadn't gathered his Soul Power or activated his Martial Soul. Caught off guard by Li Jiuxuan, who had channeled his Soul Power, he had been struck down with a single slash. Naturally, he had no way to resist!
Li Jiuxuan flicked the droplets of blood from his short ice blade and looked down at him. "You think you can covet Sister Bing'er..."
At that moment, all that remained in Yu Luomian's pupils was abject panic. The power of Shui Yuerong's sword far surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo!
There was no doubt that even though he was a half-step Titled Douluo stronger than Huyan Zhen, he still wouldn't be able to resist much against that Holy Ice Sword.
"Shui... Shui Yuerong, you can't kill me. Making an enemy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan won't do you any good!"
Yu Luomian's face was deathly pale, but he forced himself to straighten up and look up at Shui Yuerong. "I can promise you that from now on, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan won't trouble Li Jiuxuan again!"
"Won't trouble Li Jiuxuan?"
Shui Yuerong hovered in midair, scrutinizing him. "As I recall, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a fine way of doing things: only the dead never cause trouble again..."
Yu Luomian's face stiffened. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I'm the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's second elder. I have a great deal of authority in the clan, and I never break my word!"
"Whether you break your word or not doesn't matter anymore. You deserved to die the moment you kept harassing the disciples of Skywater Academy!"
The instant Shui Yuerong finished speaking, the cold qi between heaven and earth erupted!
The absolute laws of ice spread once more, and the entire great canyon instantly became a Frozen Purgatory!
The biting cold pierced to the soul!
Yu Luomian's bones shook violently, and his blood churned. Shui Yuerong's domain was so powerful that even his soul trembled!
"You... you can't! I'm the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's second elder, and my brother is Yu Yuanzhen! He's a ninety-fifth-rank Titled Douluo, a full ninety-fifth rank! If you kill me, he won't let Skywater Academy off!"
Fear had filled every corner of Yu Luomian's soul. Once again, he brought out his brother as a shield!
"Yu Yuanzhen? Even if he were standing here himself today, he still couldn't save your life!"
Shui Yuerong's gaze was bright as day, and the temperature within her domain continued to plunge, nearing Absolute Zero!
Just resisting the extreme cold was now almost enough to drain Yu Luomian of all his Soul Power!
"In that case, I'll fight you to the death!"
Yu Luomian clenched his fists. The last sliver of hope in his heart vanished. He knew Shui Yuerong was determined to kill him today!
His eyes bulged as he gritted his teeth. The essence blood within him burst into flames!
He spat out a mouthful of golden dragon blood, and his Soul Power surged several times over!
All eight of his Soul Rings blazed brightly. Blue light shot into the sky as his entire right arm underwent Dragon Transformation, electricity crackling around it and scales twisting grotesquely. Fueled by a berserk determination to take her down with him, he unleashed his strongest Soul Skill at Shui Yuerong!
Lightning tore through the sky, and a dragon's roar shattered the clouds!
This was the strongest strike of Yu Luomian's life. Even a Titled Douluo would have to avoid its edge!
"What a powerful counterattack!"
"Yu Luomian's gone mad—he's even burning his essence blood!"
"If he survives after burning that much of his vital essence blood, his cultivation will still drop by at least ten levels!"
At first, the Skywater Academy students looked particularly grave.
But the next moment, every one of them froze.
Facing that earth-shattering attack,
Shui Yuerong didn't even move her smooth, bare feet.
She merely raised one finger.
"Boom!"
Boundless winds roared up, and energy surged violently. It seemed the lightning would tear the very heavens apart!
Yet, as abruptly as it had begun, Shui Yuerong didn't retreat even a fraction!
Holy and untainted, she stopped Yu Luomian's all-out strike, fueled by his essence blood, with a single finger!
Yu Luomian's pupils contracted. She... she had stopped it!
So effortlessly!
That strike wouldn't have been out of place as the full-power attack of a Titled Douluo!
He had even burned the essence blood in his heart!
"A mayfly trying to shake a tree!"
Shui Yuerong said nothing more. She turned her jade-white finger, then flicked it out!
Whoosh!
A beam of blue light pierced through Yu Luomian's chest, leaving him drenched in blood!
"You..."
The next instant, the icy power of Absolute Zero swept through his limbs and bones from the wound. Yu Luomian instantly turned into ice crystals, then exploded!
Ice shards flew everywhere. Yu Luomian couldn't even let out a scream before he perished completely, scattering into the air.
As everyone at Skywater Academy stood stunned, silence once again settled over the world.
Everyone who had witnessed the scene was speechless, overcome with shock!
Huyan Zhen and Yu Luomian were peak Soul Masters with supreme Martial Souls, towering figures from prominent clans!
Those once-arrogant men had been wiped out by Dean Shui Yuerong as casually as if she were brushing dust away!
...The dean had now truly entered the ranks of the supreme powerhouses!
"Long live the dean!"
As Shui Yuerong slowly lowered her finger and the raging Extreme Cold Domain began to subside, all the beautiful students of Skywater Academy burst into cheers!
They were utterly exhilarated!
