Chapter 94

There are hundreds of cultivators at the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation in the Northern Cold Sect, so it was not unusual. However, the current cultivator at the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation is Li Shui, who has been known as a waste for thirteen years.

In just one night, a beggar turned into an emperor, and a waste soared to the sky. How could such a huge contrast be accepted? How could it not shock people?

"Alas!" Ice Fairy sighed softly, glanced back at Li Ruo, and said faintly, "Congratulations, Li Ruo!"

Upon hearing Ice Fairy's words, Li Ruo knew that Ice Fairy had acknowledged Li Shui's abilities.

"Thank you, Head Seat!" Li Ruo, with tears in her eyes, smiled charmingly.

"Still, it's a thousand treasures that Thousand Concealment True Man can recognize!" Ice Fairy shook her head and sighed.

At this moment, Han Zixiang, who was in the arena, was also slightly startled to see Li Shui break the seal and reveal a cultivation level of the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation.

Originally, he thought this battle would merely be between him and Ah Mu, but he never expected it to really turn into a battle between him and Li Shui.

Although the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation is two minor realms below him, the momentum of Li Shui leaping from a Cultivation Child to the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation still had a psychological impact on Han Zixiang. Moreover, Li Shui still had the Heavenly Concealment Divine Bow in hand.

Besides, there was also the mysterious and unpredictable Ah Mu, who possessed great treasures and was watching with covetous eyes.

"Heh! Not bad, the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation. Quite interesting!" Han Zixiang tapped his palm with a folding fan. "But, at the ninth stage of the Initial Cultivation, I could already slay cultivators at the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation!"

Han Zixiang's words were not exaggerated. At the ninth stage of the Initial Cultivation, he indeed could already slay cultivators at the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation.

"Then let's try it out!" Li Shui sneered. He then flicked his hand, and a white light over a dozen feet long, carrying a chill, shot towards Han Zixiang with a whistling sound.

"Gathering light into a sword, Divine Ice Slashing Immortals! This is a great killing technique of the middle stage of the Fixed Cultivation in the Northern Cold Sect!" All the disciples above the Fixed Cultivation were greatly shocked.

Casting spells beyond one's level! To so easily cast a great killing technique of the middle stage of the Fixed Cultivation with the cultivation of the initial stage of the Fixed Cultivation was almost impossible! But Li Shui had done it, wielding the middle stage technique with ease, and this was just his first move.

"Good!" A hint of a wicked smile flashed across Han Zixiang's soft and gentle face. Perhaps this would be interesting.

Facing such a great killing technique of the middle stage of the Fixed Cultivation, Han Zixiang was completely unperturbed. He merely raised his right hand slightly, pointed with his index finger, and a purple light shot out!

The white light was like a spear, and the purple light was like an arrow!

"Pu—" In the void, the two techniques collided. Li Shui's white light dissipated into nothingness, but the purple light remained condensed and did not disperse.

"Such a minor technique, unable to withstand a single strike!" Han Zixiang waved his hand, and the purple light, like a sharp blade, shot straight towards Li Shui.

"High-stage Fixed Cultivation technique, Thousand Purple Flowing Light!" Li Shui frowned. With his thorough understanding of Northern Cold techniques, he naturally recognized Han Zixiang's technique at a glance.

"Han Zixiang is terrifyingly powerful! A great killing technique of the middle stage of the Fixed Cultivation is easily defeated by him, like a child's play! And he wields high-stage Fixed Cultivation techniques with such fluidity and ease."

The spectators, who were initially amazed by Li Shui's cultivation, now had to admire the prowess of the prodigy Han Zixiang.

"Heh! Although Li Shui is at the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Fixed Cultivation, he can only meet his end against such an opponent!" Many disciples shook their heads and smiled bitterly upon seeing Han Zixiang's technique.

Even Ah Mu in the arena secretly acknowledged Han Zixiang's strength. A single finger was enough to easily break the technique that had once injured him. This level of power was not something an ordinary high-stage Fixed Cultivation cultivator could achieve.

Seeing Li Shui move, he dodged backward, and at the same time, formed seals with both hands. A blue light surged, and a pale blue water curtain instantly formed in front of Li Shui.

Sizzle—

The purple light struck Li Shui's water curtain and instantly dissipated into a purple mist.

"Oh?" Han Zixiang couldn't help but sneer. "It seems you know quite a few techniques! In Northern Cold techniques, only the Blue Water Curtain can counter Thousand Purple Flowing Light! I didn't expect you to be able to cast this near-high-stage technique! I'm really surprised!"

The spirit realm cultivators outside the arena were also stunned. Apart from Ah Mu and Mo Qing, almost no one had expected Li Shui to understand the principle of technique counteraction and quickly cast the Blue Water Curtain to counter Thousand Purple Flowing Light.

Casting spells beyond his level twice, and doing so with such fluency and smoothness, everyone began to reassess Li Shui.

"Such a minor technique, unable to withstand a single strike!" Li Shui repeated Han Zixiang's words.

"It seems I don't need to waste time with you!" Han Zixiang's soft and gentle face gradually turned cold.

Although Han Zixiang had a soft and gentle appearance, he was a decisive person who never played cat and mouse games. In the Northern Cold Grand Competition years ago, he almost always defeated his opponents within a dozen moves, with ruthless and decisive strikes, never dragging things out.

Han Zixiang had put away his folding fan at some point, formed seals with both hands, and a white mist rose between his palms, gradually solidifying into a delicate and translucent giant six-pointed ice flower, radiating boundless coldness.

"Heavenly Ice Flower!" Han Zixiang shouted. This was a secret technique of the high stage of the Fixed Cultivation, no less powerful than the Ice Phoenix technique that Han Bingyi had cast that day.

Boundless cultivation power spread out, and the ice flower between Han Zixiang's palms rapidly rotated and expanded. Through the ice, high-level cultivators could see cultivation power like silver lightning arcs swirling within the ice flower.

"Go!" Han Zixiang raised an eyebrow, and with a surge of cultivation power, the ice flower shot out of his hand. The six-pointed ice flower, emitting a brilliant light, pressed directly towards Li Shui. But just as the ice flower reached Li Shui's head, it suddenly exploded with a "puff," turning into a shower of ice flowers, interspersed with silver lightning, directly raining down on Li Shui.

This was an indiscriminate attack, sealing off all directions around Li Shui, leaving him no place to hide or avoid. The only thing he could do was to activate a defensive technique to protect himself.

However, these ice flowers were all condensed from pure cultivation power, containing fierce energy. They looked radiant but were all lethal weapons. If a defensive technique was used, the explosion of one ice flower would trigger a chain reaction. If hit by so many cultivation power ice flowers, a defensive technique below the spirit realm would definitely not withstand it, and the cultivator inside would be annihilated.

However, Li Shui merely smiled coldly, his expression extremely calm. It was almost impossible for Northern Cold techniques below the spirit realm to kill Li Shui.

Inside the Blue Water Curtain, Li Shui's expression was composed as he quickly formed seals. The complexity of the seals was dazzling, and a faint red glow appeared on his white robe.

"Hmm?" What was this technique? Even many high-stage Fixed Cultivation cultivators did not recognize it, and even Han Bingyi, who had been watching intently in the void, frowned.

"Fire!" someone exclaimed. At this moment, Li Shui's body was covered in red flames, constantly leaping on his white robe.

Northern Cold techniques were mainly water-based and cold, and although some disciples practiced fire techniques, they were all minor techniques. It was extremely rare to see someone like Li Shui with a full body of red glow, even emitting flames.

"High-stage Fixed Cultivation technique—Crimson Cloud Cold Fire!" At this moment, an informed cultivator shouted.

"What? Crimson Cloud Cold Fire? Is it the Crimson Cloud Cold Fire that the Northern Cold Sect hasn't achieved in nearly five hundred years?" Countless Northern Cold disciples were shocked.
