Chapter 71 Ice

The shields formed a perfect domain. The lightning exploded outside like fireworks, but the inner three layers were a quiet world.

Zheng Sha saw this scene, disbelief appearing deep in his eyes. He could see this was the seal path.

Only the most simple and primitive sealing methods could allow Shou Chen, a cultivator who was very far from realm seven, keep up with Wu Donglian. Because Shou Chen only needed to activate the seals in his hand. He did not need to lock onto Wu Donglian’s presence and use his own vital energy to form primal energies of the universe into true killing essence.

But he had never heard of such a primitive sealing method to create such power.

In the midst of his shock, Ding Ning looked back at him.

His body suddenly tensed. He was filled with intimidating coldness.

“You are not the same as Wu Donglian. If you want to disappear, no one in the world will be able to find you. But you are waiting here for me. What do you truly want to do?” Ding Ning saw the coldness in his eyes and asked coolly.

Zheng Sha took a deep breath and forced the coldness in his body out. Then his emotions completely calmed down. “I want to try and see if I can injure you.”

Ding Ning made a soft sound of acknowledgment. “Why?”

Zheng Sha narrowed his eyes a bit and said, “You have always been the symbol of invincibility after your rebirth. I fear that there are not many who dare to fight you. But even if I cannot kill you, even if I manage to stab you once, many of your enemies will feel it is different. You will still be able to be wounded, you may be able to be killed.”

“For Zheng Xiu?” Ding Ning said softly, still not concerned.

Zheng Sha shook his head and said seriously, “For Jiaodong Commandery.”

“You should be able to understand. For hundreds of years, many people like me did everything for Jiaodong Commandery.” After a pause inquire he looked up into the distance in Jiaodong Commandery’s direction. He sighed softly and said, “Finally, Jiaodong Commandery is about to walk onto the peak as everybody hoped, but it is suddenly about to collapse…… If one has to say which two people destroyed Jiaodong Commandery, one is Zheng Xiu, the other is you.”

Ding Ning was able to understand the obsession that Zheng Sha spoke up. This was the belief that many Jiaodong Commandery cultivators had for their lifetime. He nodded, but then he shook his head. “No rush, wait and see.”

Zheng Sha understood Ding Ning’s meaning.

Ding Ning had sensed his killing intent already. There naturally would be a fight between the two. However, that moment Shou Chen used his seal, he had been a bit dazed in his shock. It was the best chance for Ding Ning to kill him, but Ding Ning did not attack.

This was like Ding Ning had yielded a move to him.

The words that Ding Ning and he talked about meant that it was impossible for him to mount a sneak attack on Ding Ning.

So he nodded slightly in agreement.

Shou Chen did not move. He stood there quietly within the circles of shields.

Wu Donglian also did not move. His eyes were cold. He could not understand what kind of seal could have such power. But he was sure that before this seal essence disappeared, none of his methods would be able to break through.

But any defensive seal essence would dissipate. The moment the power ran out, it would be the moment he killed Shou Chen.

But at this time, within his perception, a scene caused his pupils to contract.

Within the yellow Shields, Shou Chen took out four seals. He looked quietly down at the four seals, his eyes emotional and touched. One of the seals was pure white like snow, one red gold like gold within the fire, one green like a willow leaf, and one red like the skin of the apple that had just matured in autumn.

If the glory and reputation of Jiaodong Commandery was the principle and belief of Zheng Sha and others, then the “Mystical Shield” he had just used and these other four seals was the principle and belief of him and his master.

When these seals were used based on Ding Ning’s method, they had stunning power. But his master was not able to see them with his own eyes.

The “Mystical Shield” was made from the core of an “Earth Turtle.” The “Earth Turtle” was a kind of dry land tortoise in Mobei. In the records of the cultivators, they were called earth moving dragons. They were gentle in personality, but their energy defense was stunning. There were detailed records of a kind of fire crane that fought the earth turtle. After a stand off for a year, the fire crane attacked the earth turtle with all kinds of methods and the turtle just hid in its defense, it managed to wear down the fire crane until it died.

Right now, he had four seals in his hand to pick from. When weak cultivators were fighting powerful cultivators, they usually did not have time to think. But at this time, he had more than enough time to think about which one to use. He thought about it, and in the end, he picked the pure white.

He was a bit reluctant as fire sprayed from his hand and he crushed the seal. This seal was the one that his master made the earliest. It was called “New Snow.”

When he crushed this seal, roars sounded in the sky like many enormous mountains of snow were collapsing. His surroundings were immediately filled with wind and snow.

Pieces of snow sprayed out from between his fingertips. Each piece of snow shattered into countless pieces, and each piece of snow caused tangible wild wind. The yellow shields around him were pushed outwards by this terrifying wind.

Seeing the yellow shields being pushed owed, seeing the cracks between the shields, Wu Donglian felt that opportunity had arrived. But at this moment, his face completely changed. He lost track of the other in his perception.

The ball of wind and snow swelled at stunning speed. The exploding energy even managed to obstruct his perception!

An explosion sounded under his feet.

His body bounced back at stunning speed. He was like a falling star. He even managed to go beyond the enormous blue palace behind him.

At this instant, all of the wind and snow stopped expanding out, but headed forward. The pieces you have white snow became ruler-straight lines of white that shot at his body.

Wu Donglian was very pale. He was using all his power to retreat, but he was still unable to deal with this terrifying seal essence. The moment before the thousands of white lines hit his chest, he lifted his hands up.

Gasps sounded within the city.

The blue palace under him instantly changed color, to become yellow like dried leaves.

But the blue color became actual seawater.

A deep blue wall of water appeared in front of him, covering the sky and the ground, colliding with the pale white lines. The white lines stabbed deep into the deep blue wall of water. His body was still flying back. Dots of white pierced through the deep blue wall of water, but were not able to penetrate it immediately, gradually solidifying. The enormous wall of water as wide as the palace solidified in the air, frozen at the roof of the palace.

Under the sunlight, the dry yellow palace supported a deep blue wall of ice. The white cold air kept on flowing on the roof of the palace and then rolled down like a pure white waterfall.
