Chapter 56

"Never let me turn the tables?" Xiao Yun's lips curled slightly, forming a faint arc. "I’m afraid you, Fang Hao, don’t have the qualifications for that. From today on, the one who will never turn the tables is you. I will make you understand that the men of the Xiao family cannot be bullied."

"Enough talk. Let me see what kind of strength you have." Fang Hao gave a cold laugh. His hands moved, and a surge of primordial energy swept out, forming a seal in front of him as he guided it with his hands. A powerful pressure followed, pressing down.

This was the Heavy Mountain Seal. As soon as it formed, a powerful aura spread out.

Xiao Yun stood in place, feeling the air in front of him about to be crushed, as if a mountain were pressing down on him.

This kind of seal was even more domineering than the Eight Extremes Palm, with a momentum to crush everything.

Especially since Fang Hao had reached the middle stage of the Innate realm, his cultivation was far stronger than Zhou Lin's.

However, Xiao Yun smiled faintly in the face of such a domineering palm.

"Dragon and Snake in Tandem!" Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, showing no panic. He guided his palms, and primordial energy swept out from his palms. Under his guidance, it seemed as if a dragon and a snake had taken shape, attacking Fang Hao from both sides.

This primordial energy condensed into a dragon and a snake, though not fully formed, still had a formidable appearance, with a momentum that could crush mountains and break through barriers. If an ordinary cultivator were hit, it was hard to imagine if they would be snapped like wood by the dragon and snake's massive tails.

"Crush it!" Fang Hao's eyes narrowed, and a huge seal formed. It pressed down on the young man in front of him as his hands guided it. When the seal landed, the air on the entire competition platform trembled.

Such a domineering attack was shocking.

The young men in the distance all secretly marveled, truly worthy of the middle stage of the Innate realm!

Boom!

Just as the seal pressed down, the 'dragon and snake' Xiao Yun had summoned lashed out at the seal. The two collided violently, instantly causing a fierce surge of primordial energy. The seal trembled, and the attack was halted.

Bang!

Then, with a loud noise, the seal actually collapsed.

However, the 'dragon and snake' Xiao Yun had conjured also completely dissipated, not gaining the upper hand.

A powerful surge of primordial energy swept out, like a raging storm, wreaking havoc. Both young men's bodies trembled and were pushed back by the powerful impact, retreating six steps before they could stabilize their stances.

Thud, thud!

Fang Hao's steps were heavy as he struggled to stabilize his stance. Then, his brows furrowed, and his eyes shot up to look at the young man opposite. At this moment, the latter had just stabilized his stance, clearly indicating that in this clash, neither had gained the upper hand.

"Have you also reached the middle stage of the Innate realm?" Fang Hao stared at the young man opposite, his face full of surprise.

From the clash just now, the thickness of Xiao Yun's primordial energy was no less than his own!

"Do you think only you can reach the middle stage of the Innate realm?" Xiao Yun said coldly.

"What! Xiao Yun has also reached the middle stage of the Innate realm?" This news immediately caused a stir among the audience.

"No wonder he can sweep through the geniuses of various clans, he has reached the Innate realm!"

"Is Xiao Yun even human? Three months ago, he was only at the sixth level of Body Tempering, how did he suddenly soar to the middle stage of the Innate realm?"

"Damn, this isn't a genius, it's a monster." The cultivators of various clans all changed color, unable to remain calm. Such cultivation speed could only be described as terrifying. If allowed to grow, what would Fang Hao be?

Even with his Ice Martial Soul, Xiao Yun's powerful realm could crush him!

In this world, realm is the foundation of power, and the Martial Soul is just an auxiliary.

"This boy must not be left alive." The elders of the Fang family all had serious expressions, sensing a crisis.

"Has he actually reached the middle stage of the Innate realm?" The old man Fang's half-closed eyes flashed with a cold light.

This kind of genius is enough to threaten the Fang family.

Amidst the shock of the entire audience, Fang Hao also felt a sense of crisis.

"Fortunately, you are only at the middle stage of the Innate realm, everything is still in time." Fang Hao took a deep breath, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "Today, as long as I cripple you, what good is your talent?"

"Haha, you should not have dared to show your face after recovering your talent. If I were you, I would have hidden in the mountains to cultivate until I was strong enough to come out. Unfortunately, you no longer have that chance. The genius of Ziyun County is destined to be me, Fang Hao."

Fang Hao's words were icy, and a hint of ferocity appeared in his eyes.

From his appearance, it was clear he intended to crush Xiao Yun before he could rise.

"To hide in the mountains? What a joke." Xiao Yun's tone was cold as he stared at the young man opposite. "Do you think you can cripple me? Don't think too highly of yourself. Today, I will definitely defeat you, and not only that, I will join the Tianyuan Sect."

"Join the Tianyuan Sect?" Fang Hao smiled faintly. "You are too naive."

"Feel the power of my Ice Martial Soul." Fang Hao's eyes narrowed, and a cold aura spread from his body. The entire competition platform suddenly felt like winter had arrived, the cold air sweeping out, making the air seem to freeze.

In the midst of this cold aura, the nearby cultivators also felt the bone-chilling cold.

"Is this the aura of the Ice Martial Soul?"

"Those with Martial Souls are truly extraordinary, it's like having a divine power!"

The audience was amazed and envious.

This was the extraordinary nature of Martial Souls, possessing powers that ordinary people did not have.

With this, those who awakened Martial Souls could often look down on others, even defeating enemies of higher realms.

"Can Xiao Yun withstand the power of Young Master Fang Hao's Martial Soul?" Feeling the cold aura, some of the young men were excited, eager to see how Xiao Yun would face off against Fang Hao. The aura of the Ice Martial Soul was enough to make even late-stage Innate realm cultivators wary!

"Hmph, watch how your Xiao Yun brother stands up to Young Master Fang Hao!" Lin Xiaoman, who had been surprised earlier, now had a smug smile on her lips as she glanced at the girl beside her.

"You have no taste." Yan Shiyi rolled her eyes at Lin Xiaoman, her lips pursed and her eyes raised, slightly nervous as she looked at the young man on the final stage. This was the true final battle, and no one knew the outcome.

"This time, we must cripple him!" Fang Wei and the other young men of the Fang family all had ferocious expressions, coldly snorting.

On the final stage, the cold aura swept out, and Fang Hao became eerie and sinister.

Now, his brows were surrounded by cold aura, and even his eyes had a cold mist.

"Ice Martial Soul?" Feeling the cold aura, Xiao Yun's lips curled into a faint smile.

This cold aura was indeed terrifying, capable of making Innate realm cultivators shiver and even feel their primordial energy about to freeze, slowing down their energy flow.

In this way, ordinary people facing Fang Hao would not only become sluggish but also find it difficult to quickly gather their primordial energy to defend. With these two disadvantages, how could they fight? Even late-stage Innate realm cultivators would find it hard to gain an advantage against this young man, and might even be defeated unexpectedly.

However, this cold aura was far from enough for Xiao Yun.

The cold aura he had extracted for Xiao Ling'er was even more terrifying than what Fang Hao was releasing!

"I need the cold aura to nourish my Martial Soul. Hmph, whatever you have, I will absorb." Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the Swallowing Heaven Technique in his body suddenly activated. A vortex in his dantian began to absorb the cold aura Fang Hao was releasing.

Then, his Martial Soul moved, and a green branch extended into his dantian, absorbing the cold aura.

Xiao Yun completed all this in an instant, silently, without anyone noticing.

If an outsider saw, they would think the cold aura was continuously invading Xiao Yun's body, about to freeze him.

Cold Hellish Hand Seal!

Fang Hao's eyes narrowed, and his Martial Soul activated, releasing a surging cold aura that gathered in his hands.

The cold aura, like a giant python, coiled around him, forming a huge seal. This seal was incredibly profound, with intricate patterns and a faint aura of the Dao.

As soon as the seal formed, it gave a terrifying pressure, like a cold hell descending.

This seal was clearly more powerful than the Heavy Mountain Seal.

"Cold Hellish Hand Seal?" Xiao Yun's brows furrowed, sensing the power of the seal.

"What kind of seal is this? It looks like a giant hand, with cold aura swirling and a hellish aura, making one's heart tremble. This must be a high-level Profound Technique, perhaps even an Earth Technique. How does the Fang family have such a technique?"

The elders on the high platform were surprised.

Even the True Essence realm cultivators were moved.

"I didn’t expect Fang Hao to have such a technique." Xiao Hong's brows furrowed, looking worried.

"This is a technique of the Tianyuan Sect." Qiu Yuchen, who had been silent, smiled faintly.

"A technique of the Tianyuan Sect?" Everyone was stunned, then realized, "No wonder, only powerful clans and sects like the Tianyuan Sect have high-level Profound Techniques. Ordinary clans at most have mid-level Profound Techniques."

"Die!" Fang Hao sneered, his hands guiding the seal, which carried a massive cold aura and struck Xiao Yun. From a distance, it looked like a giant hand from the heavens, about to crush all.

"A high-level Profound Technique?" Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, staring at the giant hand, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes. "Fine, let me see how powerful your technique is." As he spoke, Xiao Yun's hand moved, striking the giant seal head-on.

"Xiao Yun actually dares to face such a technique head-on?" Everyone was surprised.

The Cold Hellish Hand Seal, with its swirling cold aura, could freeze even the void. How could it be faced head-on?

Isn't Xiao Yun courting death?

It's not hard to imagine that when the Cold Hellish Hand Seal lands, the young man will be frozen by the extreme cold.
