Chapter 302: Chu Yunxi’s Cold Battle
— Chapter 299 —
Clank! Clank!
Chu Yunxi moved her staff and countered her former husband’s attack.
Wu Zhangming is the current leader of Spirit Snake’s clan.
He was a rare one-in-century genius with his clan’s unique martial soul, Ice Bamboo Viper, granting him the ability to become stronger quickly.
Chu Yunxi’s father was his teacher, who engaged them when they were young.
Nevertheless, instead of protecting Chu Yunxi from Wu Clan’s prejudice, Wu Zhangming turned blind eyes and completely ignored her in a cold cottage behind the mountain range.
It was hell for Chu Yunxi, who had to raise her daughter alone in the never-ending winter. She had to use every survival skill her father taught her, surviving in the harsh mountain range for seven years.
Chu Yunxi gritted her teeth in swelling anger because of how many hardships she had to experience. It’s all because of this power-hungry trash.
Clank!
Her staff clashed with Wu Zhangming’s spear, creating a slight spark.
“You’re stronger now?” Wu Zhangming suddenly commented with a frown.
“How? With your defective martial soul, you shouldn’t be able to reach the Spirit Ancestor.”
Chu Yunxi doesn’t answer and creates a wind blast from her palm.
BOOM!
Wu Zhangming was blown away by her, leaving a trace of bluish smoke.
Seawater splashed everywhere, and Chu Yunxi frowned because Qu Zhangming reached the Title Douluo realm. His strength is even greater than before.
“How annoying.” She whispered while creating icy wind arrows.
Wu Zhangming appeared in front of Chu Yunxi again and thrust his spear at her chest. However, she had anticipated this and sent her icy wind arrows.
‘How could she read my movement?’ He thought while deflecting the icy wind arrows.
Chu Yunxi suddenly struck his stomach with her staff and chanted, “Maelstrom.”
Violent icy wind energy exploded from Chu Yunxi’s staff and smashed Wu Zhangming with a heavy shockwave, causing him to choke on air.
Cough!
Wu Zhangming couldn’t believe this. He was kneeling in front of Chu Yunxi, which was embarrassing.
Not only did Chu Yunxi read him like a book, but she was also able to catch him off guard. A weak daughter of his master somehow can make him kneel now.
“What’s wrong, trash?” Chu Yunxi questioned with a mocked tone. “Are you shocked?”
“6 years ago, I had to plead with my knees on frozen ground to your clan for a ragged blanket.”
“No, it’s not even a blanket. It’s just a random rag from the horse stable.”
“With that piece of rag, I have to survive with my daughter alone in the mountain range.”
Wu Zhangming’s yellow eyes widened and returned, “Did you say, daughter?”
“When did you have a daughter?!” He yelled at her.
Chu Yunxi sneered and replied, “Who knows, I bet someone drunk at their clan’s party forgot something.”
“Well, It doesn’t mean anything now.”
“Goodbye, trash.”
Cough!
She was about to blast Wu Zhangming away, but her body abruptly weakened for some reason. A drop of blood was dripping from her nose.
“This, poison…?” Chu Yunxi commented while feeling a stab in her stomach.
Wu Zhangming’s right hand glowed with a bluish light and penetrated through Chu Yunxi’s abdomen.
Ice Bamboo Viper was known for impressive ice element control and excessively venomous potency.
“WhERe IS ShE!” Wu Zhangming’s other hand choked Chu Yunxi’s neck.
“WHERE IS YOUR DAUGHTER!?!”
Poof!
Chu Yunxi’s body exploded into a cloud of smoke, leaving Wu Zhangming’s hand hanging in the air.
A powerful right hook quickly reached his cheek.
BAM!
Wu Zhangming was blown away to the right and saw a kick reaching his liver.
BAM!
“We are far from done, trash.” Chu Xiaoyu’s voice echoed on the seashore. “I’ll crave every inch of your body with torturous pain.”
Wu Zhangming tried his best to lessen the damage he received and countered Chu Yunxi’s attack, but she could instantly anticipate every movement he made.
BAM!
They exchanged blows with the same kicking movement. It’s so similar that they look like mirror images of each other.
“Ice Age…” Wu Zhangming frowned and waved his spear.
“Cleave.” Chu Yunxi countered while also waving her staff.
CLANK!
BOOM!
A shockwave was created from their clash, creating an enormous tsunami to the open sea.
“Ice Age Classic,” Chu Yunxi commented while tightening her grip. “Do you think I don’t know my own father’s technique?
“Hmph, I’m sure you’re frustrated because he didn’t teach the rest of the technique.”
Wu Zhangming gritted his teeth because Chu Yunxi’s statement hit the nail perfectly. Ice Age Classic is a martial art created by the legendary Ice Monarach Douluo, Bing Chun.
It’s a unique art to manipulate weapons and cold surroundings like the user’s own body, giving anyone who mastered it reign in harsh cold weather.
However, Bing Chun didn’t tell Wu Zhangming the rest of the [Ice Age Classic] because only a person with the Icy Haze Sword martial soul could master it.
A thick blue mist seeped out Wu Zhangming’s skin, covering his body with viper scales. His eyes gained a slit-like snake.
Wu Zhangming’s spirit rings appeared around him. It’s a typical configuration for Spirit Master in this era until the eighth and ninth spirit rings.
“Two red spirit rings, huh.” Chu Yunxi commented while making a distance with him.
On another part of Sea God Island’s seashore, Xue Nu suddenly frowned because she could sense the 10.000 years old cold essence’s aura stolen by a shameless human years ago here.
“The thief is here…” Xue Nu’s ice blue eyes become even colder than usual.
BOOM!
Chu Yunxi dodged Wu Zhangming’s spear attack with a quick movement, leaving some afterimages.
CLANK! BAM!
Pu!
Wu Zhangming spewed saliva out because Chu Yunxi’s staff somehow could reach his chest.
‘She grew so much in 8 years.’ He thought while kicking her knee.
Chu Yunxi frowned because this trash’s speed became faster and faster with each second. His movement changed abruptly into snake-like, which was annoying for her.
Wu Zhangming’s sixth spirit ring lit up.
A field filled with bamboo suddenly burst out of seawater and surrounded them, making Wu Zhangming’s presence disappear.
He prepared himself inside these ice bamboos and watched the Chu Yunxi raising her lips. No one should know his domain’s secret, even a 100.000 years old spirit beast deceived by this ability.
“What’s she doing?” He whispered while looking at Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi waved her hand signs and created a few complex symbols.
Even though her mastery was over ice and wind, who said she couldn’t use other elements?
She inhaled cold air into her lungs and chanted, “Fire Style: Blue Dragon’s Breath!”
A clear blue flame exploded from her mouth, covering the entire bamboo forest with chilly heat.
BOOM!
“How?! Wu Zhangming comes out of his hiding.
Chu Yunxi is a Spirit Master with wind and ice attributes. He knew her martial soul very well, so she shouldn’t be able to manipulate such a thing as a fire element.
However, that’s where he is wrong.
Ninjutsu is a method to convert energy into a technique through shape transformation and shape transformation.
Even though one doesn’t have an innate affinity with a particular element, it doesn’t mean they couldn’t learn other ninjutsu elements.
Chu Yunxi is a unique case. She’s not born with an innate affinity to fire element, but Yunlong’s dragon blood blessed with Fire Dragon King granted her fabricated fire affinity near Absolute Fire’s level.
Not only did Chu Yunxi’s fire affinity increase, but her connection with the water element was also even more mighty than before through Water Dragon King’s blessing.
It’s not an overstatement if we say Yunlong’s whole body is a treasure.
Chu Yunxi waved another hand sign and slowly moved her gaze to Wu Zhangming. Her hands cupped in front of her mouth, forming a trumpet-like shape.
“Fire Style: Blue Dragon’s Roar!”
ROAR!
She released a piercing war cry, followed by an enormous blue flame energy blast.
It’s condensed spirit energy with a combination of ice, wind, and fire elements.
Wu Zhangming couldn’t believe his eyes. A fragile silhouette of Chu Yunxi’s former self appeared beside Chu Yunxi.
‘How could a weak girl I know grow this stronger?’ He questioned himself.
He gripped his spear and muttered, “I can’t accept this.”
“I can’t accept this.”
“I CAN’T ACCEPT THIS!!”
Wu Zhangming’s ninth spirit ring lit up, summoning an enormous blue-scaled viper.
He clenched the scales and turned the viper into a spear. It’s a straight spear with scales all over the shaft and a sharp end similar to a viper’s tongue.
“Ice Age: Mountain’s Cleave.” He waved his new spear, leaving an image of an ice mountain falling from the sky.
SWOOSH! BOOOOOOOM!
Their attacks clashed and smashed the entire seashore into chaos, creating a mess left and right. A portion of the area disappeared.
It’s simply devastating, but Chu Yunxi’s attack was weaker.
Cough!
Chu Yunxi coughed blood and stared at the ice mountain’s image solemnly. Her attack was only enough to destroy the surface of it.
“The difference in strength is clear.” Wu Zhangming commented while swinging his spear at Chu Yunxi.
“I’m too strong for you.”
.
.
“No, you’re wrong, trash.” Chu Yunxi wiped the blood away from her lips.
Her spirit rings showed up one by one, causing Wu Zhangming’s eyes to widen in wonder.
“Even though I’m the weakest, you’re fighting one of Yunlong’s maids right now.”
“You’re strong? How laughable.” Chu Yunxi’s eyes become dragon-like for a moment. A beautiful azure dragon scale appeared on her skin.
An ice orb with condensed spirit energy activated within Chu Yunxi’s chest, and a beautiful white icy-like dress wrapped her body instantly.
Her black hair becomes pale blue with a beautiful hairpin made of green ice.
(An: Reine Murasame’s Astral Dress)
An intense icy aura exploded from Chu Yunxi’s eyes, giving Wu Zhangming a weird sense of fear.
Wu Zhangming is spirit rank 95 title douluo, but Chu Yunxi’s current appearance is somehow able to intimidate him.
Starwheel Ice-Wind Staff changed under his gaze, becoming thinner with a brush-like shape in the end.
Chu Yunxi raised her gaze and jumped to Wu Zhangming, kicking the air with her heel.
“Ice God’s Bruise.” Wu Zhangming thrust his spear forward.
“Icy Wind’s Star Shackle.” Chu Yunxi’s third spirit ring lit up with faint blue light.
A strong chain made of ice immediately appeared from thin air and surrounded Wu Zhangming’s body, making him unable to move for a few seconds.
Normally, Chu Yunxi couldn’t move to maintain control over the restraining ability, but in her astral dress form. She could bypass this limitation easily.
“Tempest.” She flicked her martial soul and activated her second spirit skill.
A violent breeze gathered and attacked Wu Zhangming, trapping him inside a confusing storm.
Chu Yunxi’s sixth spirit ring lit up and said, “Ice God’s Descent.”
Wu Zhangming’s yellow eyes suddenly contracted because a menacing meteor made of ice descended from the atmosphere.
“Eat that.” Chu Yunxi floated in the air.
As the ice meteor descended on the seashore, Wu Zhangming’s body quickly dropped into the ocean floor. He couldn’t even move or dodge.
BOOOOOOOM! DRRRTTTTTT!
The entire Sea God Island and other parts of the seashores trembled violently.
Cough!
Wu Zhangming grasped the meteor with his hand and coughed a mouthful of blood.
“Ice explosion.” Chu Yunxi’s voice echoed on the seashore.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
SWOOSH!
The entire meteor exploded, causing an impact even more influential than any earthquake on earth.
Fortunately, Sea God Island was fortified by Yunlong’s barriers beforehand, or it would get messed up quite badly at this point.
.
.
“Kuh… My body.” Wu Zhangming stared at his injured body. His ice bamboo viper’s scales couldn’t handle Chu Yunxi’s attack.
Wu Zhangming sacrificed everything to reach this realm. He trained every day without rest and pursued the path of power since he was small.
He even trained under one of the strongest title douluo in the extreme north, but he was ridiculed by his wife now.
How unfair.
Yes, It’s unfair.
Wu Zhangming steals, forgets, devours, kills, and grows stronger.
He couldn’t accept reality when Chu Yunxi was somehow more powerful than him.
A metal orb fell from his clothes, rolling on the ocean floor.
“9th class, Battle Armor.” He muttered while grasping the metal orb tightly.
.
.
Chu Yunxi breathed out and muttered, “That was more energy consuming than I thought.”
After using Ice God’s Descent and Ice Explosion, a quarter of her spirit energy was consumed, including the one inside her soul core.
A blue flash came out of the ocean floor and punched Chu Yunxi’s cheek.
BAM!
“Hmm!” Chu Yunxi crashed into the sea.
She looked up and saw Wu Zhangming in armor made of viper’s scales but with a metallic luster all over the place. His strength also increased by several folds.
‘That armor.’ She frowned because Wu Zhangming possessed a similar armor to Tang Xiao when he attacked the spirit hall.
Chu Yunxi lifted her body quickly, preparing herself for the incoming attack.
“Yes, those eyes, show me those fearful eyes!” Wu Zhangming roared while releasing poison from his body.
“Ice Age Classic: North’s Clash.”
A blue line appeared in the sky, and an ice bamboo viper’s silhouette manifested.
Chu Yunxi raised her staff and saw the ice bamboo viper become a spear with enormous pressure.
Wu Zhangming’s hand glowed with purple light and said, “Just give up and tell me where your daughter’s location is, Yunxi.”
“She should have an Icy Haze Sword, right?”
“When I stripped that martial soul from her body, I’d able to become a god!”
As they fought against each other, a sharp sword intent burst out from the other side of Sea God Island.
Wu Zhangming moved his gaze and whispered, “This familiar sensation… Icy Haze Sword.”
“She’s here?”
“Haha…”
“HAHAHAHA!”
A cold grin appeared on Wu Zhangming’s face because he could finally finish the Ice Age Classic, advancing to a higher realm.
Chu Yunxi’s 8th spirit ring lit up, and icy winds rushed from the north to this seashore, covering the entire place with powerful current and cold.
“Aurora Dream’s Barrier.” She changed the sky’s scenery into a blend of colorful light.
It’s the most effective defensive ability in Chu Yunxi’s technique arsenal, and anyone with title douluo strength shouldn’t be able to destroy it too effortlessly.
Even Bibi Dong approved this technique.
“What’s this futile resistance, Yunxi?” Wu Zhangming was annoyed.
“I’m not letting you away…” Chu Yunxi coldly responded.
“Even If I have to ignite my life force.”
“I won’t let you take Xiaoyu away.”
She stood firmly on the frozen sea and declared, “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!”
Wu Zhangming landed on the frozen sea and commented, “Very well… It seems that I hate to kill you first.”
“Don’t worry, Yunxi.”
“Your daughter will follow you very soon.” He added while piercing his spear into the frozen sea.
Chu Yunxi calmed herself and entered a weird stance akin to grabbing a broom, giving him a confused look.
“What’s this messy stance?” He questioned indifferently. “Are you mocking me, Yunxi?”
Wu Zhangming moved forward with phenomenal speed and sent a heavy punch to Chu Yunxi’s face, expecting this would kill her instantly.
Chu Yunxi skillfully grabbed his elbow and changed the direction of his punch to himself.
Bam! Clank!
“Huh?” Wu Zhangming saw a dent in his armor.
“Cleaning Window.” Chu Yunxi wiped her hand up to twist Wu Zhangming’s arm.
Crack!
She abruptly increased the tension and heard a crack inside Wu Zhangming’s armor. “Your armor might be tough, but inside you’re still fragile.” She commented casually.
“I’m not strong, but being a maid isn’t just a job.”
“It’s my life now.”
Chu Yunxi kicked Wu Zhangming’s knee and said, “Sweeping floor.”
Fwwip!
Wu Zhangming tried to overpower her with his strength, but she carefully intertwined his finger with hers.
She quickly waved a few signs with his hand’s help and continued, “Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.”
BAM!
Wu Zhangming felt the wind smack his face, making him feel humiliated.
A kitchen knife appeared in Chu Yunxi’s hand.
She advanced and slashed a few areas in Wu Zhangming’s body that weren’t covered by his armor, making some shallow wounds.
“Cutting Vegetables.” She swiftly slashed his viper’s scales.
Slash!
Wu Zhangming couldn’t proceed with what happened to him. He burst his entire body with energy and created a barrier between them.
A blue lotus appeared inside his barrier, exploding violently with a chill blue flame.
“ARRRGGGHHH!” Wu Zhangming roared in pain.
“Roast some meat.” Chu Yunxi commented while backing a few meters away.
After becoming maids for years, Chu Yunxi developed a close-quarter combat technique based on her life experience under Bibi Dong’s teaching.
It’s an art of disarming her enemy, making them feel pain by dislocating some bones and muscles.
Wu Zhangming’s bones fractured, and his muscles messed up.
Chu Yunxi might have passed the golden age to become Spirit Master compared to Bai Xue, but her combat experience sharpened through hard work and discipline.
Wu Zhangming couldn’t feel his bones nor control his strength appropriately. He immediately was provoked by a smirk on Chu Yunxi’s face.
“Ice Age Classic: Extreme Northern’s Ray.”
He forcibly flared his spirit energy and activated his most powerful technique, gathering cold energy in his palm.
“Die!” He launched a cold light at Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi slowly smiled and created a thick ice mirror in front of her. It’s not just a spirit skill with defensive capability but also able to deflect any energy-based attack back to her enemy.
“Star Mirror Force.” She saw Wu Zhangming’s attack reflected on him.
BOOOOOM!
Wu Zhangming was swallowed by his attack and slowly but definitely destroyed his battle armor.
He grasped his spear and stopped himself from being drowned in the sea again. “Yunxi…” He coldly said.
BAM!
Chu Yunxi felt a breeze near her neck and felt a smack on her entire body. She choked on air because her abdomen was shocked by the attack.
Her consciousness was about to fade, but a clear sensation drifted through her mind.
Wu Zhangming saw a woman’s silhouette appear above Chu Yunxi’s body, merging with her spontaneously.
“Oh, how unusual.” A woman’s voice that wasn’t Chu Yunxi came out of her mouth.
“I was summoned to the lower realm.”
“Hmm, this vessel’s body is injured…”
Chu Yunxi moved her gaze to Wu Zhangming and asked, “Are you the one who started this?”
Wu Zhangming trembled because his soul was overwhelmed with fear. He couldn’t lift a finger because Chu Yunxi’s aura shook him.
“Starwheel Ice Wind Staff.” Chu Yunxi summoned her martial soul.
“Be proud because you’re lucky to die on my hand.”
“Drawing mountains and clouds…”
“Hmm, She’s fighting back?”
A new character inside Chu Yunxi’s spiritual sea suddenly felt a shudder, something like this shouldn’t be possible because she was a goddess from the divine realm.
“This sensation-.” She moved her gaze to Sea God Mountain.
A pair of frightening crimson eyes gazed into her soul, leaving her silent in fear.
“Come out,” Yunlong commanded indifferently.
“Come out of her body now, or I’ll make your soul disappear immediately.”
“Don’t challenge me… I’m not a kind person.”
Chu Yunxi slowly opened her eyes and saw Wu Zhangming trembling in fear.
“DON’T LOOK AT ME WITH THOSE EYES!” He yelled while raising his spear.
“DIE!”
She frowned and gathered energy on her palm, forming a swirling energy ball. An ice wind attribute slowly condensed inside and changed the attack effect.
As Wu Zhangming’s spear attack missed, Chu Yunxi tilted her body and launched
