Bai Peng, the swordsmanship genius ranked sixth on the Profound Ranking, immediately unleashed a powerful Sword Intent upon hearing that Xiao Yun was a descendant of the Dugu Clan.
This man's Sword Intent was incredibly cold, like ice and snow in winter, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet rapidly.
Xiao Yun was somewhat speechless. Who was this fellow? Did he have some grudge against him?
Xiao Yun was very displeased. He was not the sort to take a beating without striking back, so he immediately unleashed his Earth Sword Intent and slammed it toward Bai Peng's Ice and Snow Sword Intent.

Greatly shocked, Hua Langxin hurriedly advised, "Why must you two do this... Brother Bai, Brother Dugu has only just emerged to gain experience. He has no grievance or enmity with you, so why..."
