82 – Kingdom Of Ice And Snow
“Damn it, he’s going to pick all the Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses,” Someone in the crowd said agitatedly.
In the next moment, Fang Yi harvested another Mirage Sea Ice Lotus.
“Not good. Kill him.”
A dozen-plus figures swept toward the lake, and fierce sword qi broke out and surged toward Fang Yi.
These people were not intent on killing Fang Yi, but rather wanted to follow his footsteps and snatch away Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses, so Fang Yi easily dodged the attacks.
There are nine Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses in total, and five have already been picked. They don’t want to miss the last four.
Fang Yi is also aware of this.
Sensing the figures in the air getting closer and closer, Fang Yi suddenly slashed with his sword.
A ray of sword qi thundered away and broke out with bone-chilling coldness, making those figures shiver involuntarily.
The slightly weaker figures couldn’t withstand the cold qi, and their entire body stiffened, and they dropped from midair.
Roar!
Roaaaaaar!
In an instant, the transparent monsters emerged out of thin air and tore those figures into pieces, painting a bloody and brutal scene.
In an instant, more than half of the figures died. As for the rest, their face turned ashen, and they promptly fled.
“Ha-ha-ha!”
Fang Yi laughed wildly and casually picked the third Mirage Sea Ice Lotus.
“Shameless scoundrels of Lieyan Sect and Wanjian Gate, you want to kill me, right? Here I am, waiting. If you have the guts, come here! Ha-ha-ha.”
Fang Yi laughed uproariously. His figure flashed, and he darted toward the next Mirage Sea Ice Lotus.
Frightened by the previous scene, the disciples on the shore didn’t dare to rush toward the lake. Although they are not scared of Fang Yi, but they are extremely wary of the transparent monsters.
They watched as Fang Yi was about to pick another Mirage Sea Ice Lotus.
On the shore, Lie Hui and Chu Feng exchanged a look, and then rushed out at the same time.
Woosh! Woosh!
The two figures were extremely fast. In an instant, they arrived in front of Fang Yi and unleashed a strike respectively.
A strong wind rose, and intense force surged as if blades. Two attacks — one from the left and another from the right — swept out.
The rumbling intense force made Fang Yi’s whole body sting, and his clothes broke apart as if snowflakes.
Fortunately, he is wearing the soft armor. Otherwise, he would have been overwhelmed by the intense force, let alone the subsequent attacks.
Fang Yi’s countenance changed drastically. In a hurry, his feet moved quickly, and afterimages streaked by. Multiple Fang Yi appeared on the lake’s surface. He used Phantom Clone Art.
This move can not only be used to fight enemies, but also to dodge attacks and escape. It is quite useful.
As expected, the expressions of Li Hui and Chu Feng turned serious. Since it isn’t possible to distinguish which is the real one in a short time, they have no way to directly attack the other party, leaving sweeping attacks with a large area of effect as the only option.
If they were on the ground, they would naturally have no problems unleashing sweeping attacks. But on the lake’s surface, where there is no safe place to stand, it is basically impossible to do so. As a result, they can only launch targeted strikes. Under the current circumstance, it is basically impossible to hit the opponent.
Boom! Boom!
The multiple Fang Yi were cut down one by one, then turned into plumes of smoke that converged and condensed into Fang Yi’s real body.
However, at this time, there is another Mirage Sea Ice Lotus in his palm.
Lie Hui and Chu Feng both have angry looks on their faces. But since there is nothing that can be done, they returned to the shore.
“Ha-ha-ha! Two good-for-nothings.”
Fang Yi laughed uproariously, ignoring the livid expressions of the two.
Although the two are not considered top geniuses in their respective sects, but they have managed to come this far, and no one dares to call them good-for-nothing. This insult made the two seething with anger.
“Ignorant little thief, let’s see how long you can remain arrogant.”
“Everyone, attack the lake’s surface and shatter the ice. Le’s see where he can escape next.”
Lie Hui shouted loudly, then chopped with his blade.
A huge ray of blade qi — containing billowing heat waves, swept.
Boom!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Following a deafening blare, the sounds of ice splitting rose, and cracks spread out in all directions like a spider web.
Upon seeing this, the crowd showed a trace of elation and began to attack the lake’s surface.
Sword qi rained down and slammed into the lake’s surface, causing the lake’s surface to shake violently and pieces of it to break off.
Fang Yi’s complexion changed drastically. If this continues, it won’t be long before the lake’s surface collapses completely. By then…
For now, let’s stop worrying. Let’s pick the Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses first. Even if I can’t escape, I can’t make things easy for these people.
Having made up his mind, Fang Yi rushed toward the last two Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses.
At this moment, the lake’s surface was on the verge of total collapse.
What now?
After picking the last Mirage Sea Ice Lotus, Fang Yi began to look around. Escape was basically impossible.
Just as he was feeling extremely anxious, intense noise transmitted from the lake.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Large chunks of ice fell off. The lake’s surface split into pieces, on the verge of collapse.
Lie Hui and Chu Feng revealed a shade of delight on their faces, looking at Fang Yi as if he were a dead man.
Rumble!
At this moment, the lake’s surface began to shake violently, and chunks of ice sank. The lake’s surface collapsed completely.
In the next moment, however, the earth shook, and the lake’s water flared up, raising huge waves several meters in height.
Everyone was greatly shocked. The way things developed exceeded their expectations.
As for Fang Yi, who stood on the lake’s surface, his countenance change dramatically. He wanted to escape, but was swept up high by a huge wave.
Suddenly, he felt an endless coldness, which seemed to stem from his soul, sweep over. The huge wave that lifted him up condensed into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, still maintaining its posture.
Fang Yi was completely frozen.
Endless coldness spread instantly, and the lake’s surface froze again.
In addition, thick white frost spread toward the crowd, and those who were slower were instantly covered by the frost and turned into ice sculptures.
The crowd on the shore immediately fell into chaos, looks of fear on their faces.
However, the speed at which the coldness spread wasn’t slower than the speed of the crowd. More than half of the people turned into ice sculptures.
“What on earth is going on?”
The crowd was puzzled. But at this time, there was no time for doubts. They fled for their lives.
Most of the people who were frozen are disciples of Lieyan Sect and Wanjian Gate. As they attacked the lake’s surface, they were the closest to the lake.
Most of the disciples of Taixuan Sect were farther away, fortunately escaping the disaster.
Seeing as the coldness continued to spread, no one dared to stay here. The entire valley, except for the ice sculptures, was deserted.
Heavy snow fell and cold wind howled.
However, there is an area — the size of a desktop — on the lake’s surface that is particularly tranquil. This area surprisingly hasn’t been frozen, with water undulating slightly.
Suddenly, small bubbles began to emerge.
In the next moment, a pure white lotus slowly rose up and swayed gently on the surface, looking extremely strange and sacred.
The entire valley has turned into a world of ice and snow, filled with lifelike ice sculptures, looking like a kingdom of ice and snow.
And the pure white lotus is like the supreme ruler of this kingdom.
