Running on Knife's Edge

Zhang Yang hadn't expected that the few lines of poetry he'd used to tease Leng Qingfeng would actually awaken this kid. He inwardly cursed his bad luck, but outwardly he confidently declared, "You can never defeat me with my power."

"Then let's give it a try!"

"Birds have vanished from a thousand mountains, human tracks have disappeared from ten thousand paths; a lone boat, an old man in a straw hat and raincoat, fishing alone in the cold river snow!" Leng Qingfeng recited the four lines of poetry that Zhang Yang had written back then.

As soon as he spoke, the entire arena instantly transformed into a frozen wasteland, utterly silent.

The entire Ice World is filled with cold, loneliness, and the power to freeze and solidify everything.

In an instant, Zhang Yang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Snow Drifting Across the Mortal Realm!

Zhang Yang activated the Taiyin Immortal Art and unleashed his ultimate move.

"Haha!" Leng Qingfeng laughed loudly, "My Ice World is different from before. You actually want to use your old tricks against me? Besides, these are my special moves. What use are they to me?"

He was still laughing when a few snowflakes swept past his body, instantly leaving several wounds. His laughter abruptly stopped.

After carefully sensing the state of the snowflakes, besides the power of cold, an incomparably sharp aura rushed towards me.

"Sword Qi!" Leng Qingfeng exclaimed in shock.

This snowflake was actually a sword Sword Qi?

Although this Sword Qi energy wasn't particularly powerful, with snowflakes filling the sky, wouldn't that mean the sky was filled with Sword Qi?

It's not just Sword Qi.

Leng Qingfeng has already reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, and his perception of the Laws of Heaven and Earth is much stronger than that of the Nascent Soul Realm.

In his perception, each snowflake contained multiple powers.

At this moment, Leng Qingfeng was truly shocked.

His "Snow Burial" uses the Ice-and-Snow Power to bury enemies, still relying on the Ice Law.

But why did this snowflake undergo so many changes in Zhang Yang's hands?

Besides the Ice Power, there is also an extremely yin and cold power, the Wind Power, and Sword Qi contained within it.

When Leng Qingfeng saw the snowflakes fluttering and flying towards him, he felt as if he saw Flying Sword. His heart trembled, and he roared, unleashing the power he had just touched upon at the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Instantly, the Ice Law within the entire Ice World erupted, and the power of the entire Ice World surged toward Zhang Yang.

At the same time, he mobilized the Laws of Heaven and Earth to resist the snowflakes that Zhang Yang Snow Drifting Across the Mortal Realm to earth.

Below the arena, the people from the nine major sects immediately gathered their Spiritual Qi after seeing Leng Qingfeng unleash the terrifying power of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

They would act immediately if Zhang Yang showed any sign of being outmatched.

They acknowledged Zhang Yang 'Zhang Yang strength and talent, and for that very reason, they were determined to destroy the Azure Cloud Sect's Fortune.

Now, it remains to be seen whether Zhang Yang can withstand a single blow from the Ice World.

In the Ice World, when Zhang Yang sensed the power gathering throughout the entire Ice World, his expression changed.

In the end, he was just a Nascent Soul Realm.

Even with his profound spiritual power and knowledge of many strange powers, he could not withstand the combined force of the entire Ice World in that single strike.

This is the essential difference between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Primordial Spirit Realm: the Primordial Spirit Realm has already touched upon the power of "will".

This power of "will" can command the Laws of Heaven and Earth to act on its own.

Simply put, the Laws of Heaven and Earth now have a "commander" directly in charge, instead of the previous situation where commands were relayed to the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Zhang Yang no longer concealed his abilities and unleashed the power of the Yin Demon.

The Taiyin Immortal Art can also resist the power of cold, but this requires consuming one's own spiritual energy. Yin Demon, on the other hand, originate from the coldest places, and their Cultivation Method are naturally adapted to such environments.

At this moment, Zhang Yang could feel the immense Ice Power surging in from the Ice World, and he immediately began to run in the Ice World.

"Run?" Leng Qingfeng smiled arrogantly. "Running in my Ice World won't be so easy! Ice Spikes!"

Immediately afterwards, in the Ice World, countless extremely sharp ice spikes surged from the ground, turning the ground into a mountain of knives.

Each of those incredibly sharp Ice Spikes could, without a doubt, pierce a living person.

"Get ready to attack, he can't hold on any longer!" Kong Xiuping said fiercely.

In their view, Zhang Yang wouldn't dare run on the Ice Spikes at all, as the sharp Ice Spikes would pierce through Zhang Yang body directly.

If Zhang Yang tries to block the Ice Spikes, he will not escape the overwhelming attack from the combined forces of the Ice World.

Just as everyone was about to make a move, they froze.

They saw that Zhang Yang did not resist the Ice Spikes at all, and continued to run in the Ice World, stepping on the extremely sharp Ice Spikes.

The Ice Spikes, powerful enough to pierce a cultivator's body, shattered beneath Zhang Yang's feet.

Everyone was dumbfounded and speechless.

Is this even human?

Even someone at the Primordial Spirit Realm wouldn't dare run on those Ice Spikes like that, would they?

Moreover, the fact that the Ice Spikes broke off one after another was enough to show that Zhang Yang's physical resilience surpassed that of the Ice Spikes.

Are you kidding me?

The most shocked was Leng Qingfeng.

He watched Zhang Yang run on the Ice Spikes, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

He had personally tested them, and the power of these Ice Spikes was comparable to that of Nine-Rank Magic Artifact.

In fact, given a cultivator's physique, let alone Law Artifact, even ordinary iron can pierce through their body.

Now, someone's physique surpasses that of Nine-Rank Magic Artifact...

Immediately afterward, Leng Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat. He saw Zhang Yang charging towards him, stepping on the Ice Spikes.

He dared not be negligent. He raised his hands, and the power of the Ice World that was chasing Zhang Yang quickly arrived beside him. A huge ice wall rose from the ground and blocked the way between him and Zhang Yang.

Even when Zhang Yang saw the ice wall, he didn't back down at all and threw a punch at it.

"Boom--"

With a loud bang, the massive ice wall cracked.

"Damn it! Are you a human or Demon Beast?"

Leng Qingfeng cursed loudly, for he had never seen such a powerful physique.

Legend has it that some Demon Beast possess incredibly powerful physiques. Could Zhang Yang actually be a Demon Beast?

Leng Qingfeng hurriedly used his powerful strength again, and the cracks in the ice wall healed once more.

"Boom--Boom--"

Zhang Yang swung his fist and slammed it against the ice wall, creating a tremendous, earth-shattering sound.

"You think you can show off like that? You think you can flaunt your knowledge? Reciting my poem and trying to impress me? I'll beat the egg out of you!"

The crowd below the arena took a deep breath and looked at each other.

Should we still take action?

This is fucking...

They all knew very well that as soon as they made a move, Zhang Yang would definitely take control of the Qingxu Pagoda.

So many people, I wonder how many died.

Although Zhang Yang's final fate will certainly be tragic, who can guarantee that they won't be the ones to die?

A bitter smile was on everyone's face.

Their generation has produced a prodigy; is it truly impossible to suppress him?
