Bing Yan: To Catch Fish, You Naturally Have to Chum the Water

call...

A gentle breeze blew across the sky.

The wind was light, yet it stirred the hearts of two Great Sage.

Clang!

The Great Sage Xuefeng was the first to draw his holy sword. The moment Dao Sword flashed across the sky above the Ancient City of Loulan, the temperature in the air instantly dropped to freezing point, and the entire Ancient City of Loulan was covered with a layer of frost.

"Snow Drifts for Ten Thousand Li!"

With a loud shout, Great Sage Xuefeng manifested a massive Faxiang behind him. He and the Faxiang then drew their swords and thrust them towards Great Sage Qianshan.

Clang!

With a sword's cry, snowflakes instantly filled the sky.

Each snowflake transforms into a terrifying Sword Qi the moment it falls.

Seeing this, the Great Sage Qianshan snorted coldly, "Hmph! It's been sixty years since I last saw Xuefeng, and you haven't improved at all. You don't actually think that this level of Sword Qi can hurt me, do you?"

As he spoke, the Great Sage Qianshan clenched his fists and slowly raised them in front of him. A golden light emanated from his body and then transformed into a hundred-foot-tall Faxiang standing between heaven and earth.

The Sword Qi struck the enormous Faxiang, producing a crisp, clanging sound.

Upon hearing the sound, Great Sage Qianshan's face showed a contemptuous expression, but soon a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although his Faxiang blocked the Sword Qi, the places where the Sword Qi fell also froze into ice.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the enormous Faxiang the Buddha transformed into a magnificent ice sculpture.

The onlookers in the Ancient City of Loulan couldn't help but gasp in surprise at this sight.

"His Faxiang is frozen solid; the Sword Qi of this Great Sage Xuefeng is simply too terrifying!"

"I've heard that the Great Sage Xuefeng achieved enlightenment on the highest peak of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, Distant Xuefeng, and became Great Sage in one fell swoop, which is why he has the title of Great Sage Xuefeng. It seems that his control over the Extreme Cold Sword Qi has long reached a superb level."

"..."

Upon seeing this scene, the cultivators from the four major forces in the stands instinctively turned their gazes to their own ancestor.

The group of Great Sage remained silent, simply watching the two combatants clashing in the sky.

The sect leader of the Northern Desert Sect still looked at the group of cultivators from the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor with a mocking expression. His gaze finally fell on Bing Yan, and he couldn't wait to see the beautiful Great Sage's shocked and astonished expression.

Standing in the stands of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, Han Ping asked Chu Feng, "Master, does Uncle Xuefeng have a chance to win this battle?"

"Disaster."

Chu Feng said calmly, "Unless Fellow Daoist Xuefeng can use a sword technique that surpasses Snow Drifting for Ten Thousand Li, there is no chance of a draw, and that would only be if Qianshan is careless."

"Fellow Daoist Xuefeng seems to have the upper hand right now, but he hasn't damaged Qianshan's core. This battle will be difficult from here on out."

He had barely finished speaking when a series of cracking sounds came from the sky.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw that countless cracks had appeared on the ice Faxiang.

Bang!

With a loud cracking sound, the ice sculpture shattered instantly.

The Great Sage Qianshan stood unharmed in the sky, but the disdain on his face was gone, and his expression began to become serious.

"It seems that after sixty years, you, Xuefeng, are not entirely useless. Now it's worth my full strength to fight you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up. He was originally over seven feet tall, but in an instant, he became a ten-foot-tall man. With his bulging muscles, he looked like a small giant when he stood in the sky.

"Mountain coming!!!"

The Great Sage Qianshan shouted and reached out with his large hand to grab the sky. Countless majestic mountains appeared above his head.

These mountains were all transformed by him using the True Essence of the Great Dao, but the image of him holding up a thousand mountains with one hand has a very strong visual impact.

Many onlookers had the same thought: if this towering mountain were to fall, wouldn't they all be doomed?

Even Great Sage Xuefeng's expression turned serious; this guy was even stronger than in the last Sexagenary Battle.

But in today's battle, I'm not risking my life against the opponent; I just hope the defeat isn't too humiliating.

"A Thousand Mountains Press Down!"

Without further ado, the Great Sage Qianshan brought down the mountain in his hand towards the Great Sage Xuefeng.

"One Sword Seals Ten Thousand Li!!!"

Great Sage Xuefeng unleashed his most secret and powerful technique.

Clang!

With a sword's cry, a flash of cold light appeared.

In an instant, Sword Qi crisscrossed Wanli!

The majestic mountains in the sky were instantly frozen solid, turning into ice shards that dissipated into the air.

But the remaining mountains still flew towards the Great Sage Xuefeng.

Boom!!!

The mountain fell on Great Sage Xuefeng with a loud bang, and he fell from the sky.

The outcome is decided!

The people of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor gasped in surprise upon seeing this.

"Ancestor Xuefeng!"

Bang!

Great Sage Xuefeng landed on the arena, leveling it to the ground, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

But he gritted his teeth and said, "I concede defeat in this battle."

"Good!!!"

A cheer erupted from the Northern Desert Sect's camp.

Great Sage Xuefeng suppressed the surging blood within him and flew towards the stands.

"Ancestor, are you alright?"

The elders of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, it's just that I've worried you, young lady."

Bing Yan said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, Ancestor. Now you should rest well and watch the next big show."

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Xuefeng respectfully asked, "May I ask, Miss, when do you intend to make your move?"

Bing Yan smiled and said, "I often hear my husband say that if you want to catch good fish, you naturally have to prepare a good baiting spot. Only when you put in enough bait will big fish bite."

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Xuefeng's eyes lit up, and he said to Bing Yan, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss."

The victory of the Northern Desert Sect has also made several other sects eager to try their luck.

Just as the Great Sage Qianshan sat down, the King of the Clearing Snow Kingdom, a man dressed in a light yellow robe, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, An Ye pays his respects to the Great Sage. I wonder if the Great Sage of my Clearing Snow Kingdom is worthy to witness your brilliance?"

Bing Yan said calmly, "What do you want to bet on?"

The Saber King An Ye smiled and said, "A small Jiang Kingdom will suffice. I wonder if the Great Sage would be willing to accept the challenge?"

"Good."

Bingyan agreed without hesitation, but then changed the subject. "However, my Great Sage of the Extreme Cold Manor is injured. Therefore, the Extreme Cold Manor concedes defeat in this battle, and after the Jiazi War of the Frontier Kingdom, it will be ceded to your Snow Dawn Kingdom."

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Even the Saber King An Ye was stunned. He hadn't expected that this Great Sage would admit defeat so readily after he had only casually tested him. He would have asked for an exorbitant price if he had known.

Even so, he could only cup his hands and say, "Thank you for your Great Sage gift, sir."

The audience in the training ground snapped out of their daze upon hearing these words and burst into discussion...
