Ice Flame Two Extremes Sword Formation

As the flames receded, everyone in the Hua Family—whether the elders and former family head who knew the truth,

or the current family head who had been coerced, along with the four Great Elders who knew nothing—

all stared wide-eyed!

Their faces were full of terror!

That was a Soul Saint!

Killed in one move?

Wasn't that absurd?

When he had killed another Soul Saint seven or eight days ago, he had needed to put in quite a bit of effort.

And now he had killed one instantly?

That made no sense!

Could it be...

When everyone looked at Si Tingxuan again, there was not only awe and fear in their eyes, but also curiosity. Yet even if their guesses were right—

Wu Bingchong was a man of Spirit Hall.

Si Tingxuan really wasn't afraid of trouble at all!

Wasn't he afraid that Spirit Hall would come looking to settle the score?

The former family head and the family head in particular had met Qin Haoyuan as well, aside from Wu Bingchong.

They knew that man was a White-Robed Bishop!

Though only a deputy!

His strength was undeniably that of a Soul Douluo!

He had killed so decisively—wasn't he afraid Qin Haoyuan would come after him?

Fine!

Even if Si Tingxuan was confident he could escape Qin Haoyuan's hands.

But killing a Spirit Hall Soul Saint so openly was a naked provocation in the eyes of all Spirit Hall!

What if a Soul Douluo could not deal with him, and they sent a Titled Douluo instead?

Then surely he would not be able to escape a Titled Douluo's grasp.

The flames dispersed!

Wu Bingchong was revealed. His upper body had been charred black, almost beyond recognition.

But that was not the most terrifying part.

His upper body slowly tipped backward, while his ice-sealed legs remained planted firmly on the ground, as steady as a mountain.

Under normal circumstances, if one's lower body was frozen, the upper body should not have been able to fall.

But in reality, Wu Bingchong's waist served as the dividing line.

His entire upper body slid backward and fell away!

It crashed onto the floor with a heavy thud.

"Hiss!"

The sound seemed to strike directly against everyone's hearts, making their heartbeats skip half a beat.

It also made everyone suck in a cold breath.

Too ruthless!

Si Tingxuan was truly too ruthless!

He had left no room at all, killing him outright.

"Gulp."

The former family head and the several elders involved all looked at Si Tingxuan in terror.

He had not hesitated to kill even a Spirit Hall Soul Saint like Wu Bingchong.

As for them...

What they did not know was that the Ice Flame Two-Word Slash was a self-created Martial Soul Fusion Skill developed by Si Tingxuan through combining two martial arts techniques and martial souls—one of ice and one of flame!

Those struck by this move would be scorched above and frozen below, as the polar forces of heat and cold ravaged their bodies.

It directly tore people in half.

It was an immensely powerful killing move.

Having dealt with Wu Bingchong, Si Tingxuan slowly turned to look at the former family head.

Already terrified, the former family head stumbled back several steps in shock!

"I-I... I'm Qingluo's grandfather. You can't kill me."

"Heh."

Hearing that, Si Tingxuan laughed. "I'm Qingluo's teacher too! Then why could you join forces with Spirit Hall to kill me?"

He pointed at Wu Bingchong, whose body had already been split apart. "So after all this, you and this fellow both think that you can kill me, but I cannot kill you. The difference is that one of you relied on being from Spirit Hall, while the other relied on being my disciple's grandfather."

"What a joke."

Two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings rose from his body.

"Hiss!"

Everyone sucked in a cold breath once more.

They cried out, "A Soul Saint!"

Although they had already suspected it when he killed Wu Bingchong in one move,

they still could not suppress their shock upon seeing it for themselves.

He was a twenty-eight-year-old Soul Saint!

He could be said to be unprecedented and unrivaled!

Though Tang San would become a god by the age of twenty-eight in the future, at least this was what they believed now.

At that moment, Si Tingxuan's fifth soul ring lit up.

"Not good, run!"

The former family head and several elders were seized by terror.

In an instant, they rushed toward the door.

As for staying behind to fight Si Tingxuan—forget it!

Hadn't they seen that even Wu Bingchong, who possessed the strength of a Soul Saint, could not withstand a single move from him?

Among them, the strongest was merely a Soul Emperor, while the rest were only Soul Kings. What were they worth before him?

Thus, fleeing still offered a sliver of hope, while staying to fight meant there was only one path—death.

They did have some brains, but not enough.

If Si Tingxuan wanted to kill them, could they really escape?

"Ice Flame Dual Swords—Fifth Soul Ring—Fusion Skill—Ice Flame Two Extremes Sword Formation!"

In an instant, the two swords in Si Tingxuan's hands flew out, transforming in midair into a thousand Flame Swords and a thousand Ice Swords respectively.

The thousand Ice Swords shot through the air, forming a circular sword net that enveloped the entire room.

Everything they touched was frozen!

One elder closest to the door charged forward the fastest and slammed straight into it.

Before he could react, he was frozen directly into an ice sculpture.

The former family head and the other elders came to an abrupt halt.

"Whew."

They all let out a breath. Seeing that elder's fate, they collectively felt fortunate. Had they rushed even one step faster, they too would have become ice sculptures.

But in the next instant, they realized—

perhaps this was only the beginning of the disaster!

Si Tingxuan sneered at them, then waved his hand. The thousand Flame Swords instantly flew up.

However, they did not charge at them directly!

The thousand flying swords split into two waves!

Within the circular sword net formed by the Ice Swords, they wove a crisscrossing inner sword net of horizontal and vertical lines.

Every possible space to evade was sealed off.

"This..."

Behind them was the Ice Sword net, while before them was the Flame Sword net rapidly closing in.

They had three choices:

Either break through the Ice Sword net behind them and rush out.

Or counterattack and break through the Flame Sword net coming at them from the front!

Or stand still and wait to die!

No. They came up with a fourth choice themselves: they all dropped to their knees in an instant.

"Spare us!"

"Mentor Si Tingxuan, we were deceived by the former family head as well."

"Yes, yes, it was all the former family head! They forced us to do it!"

"You..."

The former family head was so furious he nearly vomited blood. He had never expected these people to betray him.

But then again, these people had followed him in committing such an ungrateful act.

What kind of good people could they be?

With life and death on the line, was it not perfectly normal and reasonable for them to betray him, the former family head?

"Bastards."

The former family head cursed, but he knew that now was not the time to argue with them.

Breaking out and escaping was what mattered most.

He raised a hand, and the Hua Family's inherited martial soul, the Wind Ling Staff, appeared in his grasp.

Then two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings rose from his body.

His sixth soul ring lit up. "Sixth Soul Ring Skill—Staff Presses Heavens and Earth!"
