Chapter 285: Chapter 45: Longevity Fruit Acquired! Bloodthirsty Vine Achieves Merit (6300-Word Chapter)_2
"Impressive, impressive, your Fourth Uncle should be the most formidable among your younger generation, right?" Yuwen Jianye expressed his admiration and envy.
"Well..." Wang Zongsheng chuckled twice, secretly thinking that though Fourth Uncle is formidable, it’s the Fourth Aunt at home who is truly the most fearsome.
Of course, this is not something he can openly say.
While the new disciples of Profound Ice Hall were worried about Jii Mingyu.
Some core disciples, Faang You’an, and Binglan Ascendant all remained calm.
Thinking to deal with Jii Mingyu with just this is truly underestimating him.
Sure enough.
After a scuffle with the Vine Array, Jii Mingyu’s gaze gradually turned angry, "Junior Brother Shouzhe, really clever tactics, I’ve learned a lot. It seems that if I don’t get serious, I can’t defeat you."
With that!
Jii Mingyu’s expression sharpened, and the Ice Crystal Treasure Sword twirled around him, quickly slicing through the vines around him within a considerable range.
Meanwhile.
He slowly floated into the air with the sword raised, as an intense and domineering aura of Profound Ice spread from him, surging skyward.
The thick snow-cloud layer above Profound Ice Hall was slowly rotating, drawn by this Qi Force.
Immediately, large flurries of snowflakes and ice crystals descended in a whirlwind onto the arena.
In just a breath.
The arena was covered with a vast expanse of ice crystals and snow, which continued to intensify.
How is this possible?
Even Wang Shouzhe, with all his wit and resourcefulness, looked somewhat bewildered.
No way!
This Jii Mingyu hasn’t reached even the Mid-stage Spirit Platform Realm, yet he can stir up clouds and change the weather. Although the affected area is not large, it’s astonishing.
Because even in the Celestial Human Realm, one must use various external means under the right conditions to barely manipulate some Heavenly Dao Laws.
How can Jii Mingyu possess such abilities?
Under such rapid freezing.
Even Wang Shouzhe felt the penetrating cold, as all moisture in the air froze into frost.
Those vines of his, although evolving again and again,
considering elements of heat resistance and cold endurance, Wang Shouzhe had already factored them in. The energy and substances contained within their seeds were already enough to grow once, without absorbing nutrients from the earth.
But these vine seeds are ultimately not at the level of Spirit Seed, facing such a terrifying cold, they froze instantly into green icicles.
"Crack, crack!"
Shattering across the ground.
They were as dead as could be, injecting Profound Qi Energy was futile.
The most crucial point is.
Within the arena, the speed of the snowstorm continued to strengthen.
Even clad in Ancient Tree Armor, Wang Shouzhe felt his body stiffen, slowing his movements by a beat or two.
When masters vie, even a slight delay in speed makes a difference in the battle.
"Junior Brother Shouzhe, let me teach you a lesson," Jii Mingyu said icily, "Visiting various sects and valleys is not a simple task. You must endure their home advantage. And likewise, we at Profound Ice Hall have our home advantage, which is not easily experienced.
To show my respect for you, I will wield the sword imbued with the profundity of Profound Weapon Celestial Dao. To send you to defeat.
An aura of extreme cold and profound significance grew stronger around Jii Mingyu, as his might gradually climbed higher.
Such a terrifying Cold Ice Sword Momentum, even at Mid-stage Spirit Platform Realm, might be challenging to withstand?
In the sky, Binglan Ascendant nodded secretly, acknowledging that Jii Mingyu not only has good talent but also strives hard.
Even leveraging the home advantage to achieve this is extremely difficult.
He might be considered for inclusion as a Direct Disciple if opportunities arise.
At the same time, she shot Changchun Ascendant a cold smile: "Changchun, you can save your Longevity Fruit. I’ll ask you for it later, and if you try to deceive me, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Changchun Ascendant wore a troubled expression, thinking: Shouzhe, you promised you had a trump card to fight desperately, right?
But now, as defeat looms, the trump card hasn’t appeared.
"Changchun..." As Binglan Ascendant was about to speak, her expression suddenly shifted slightly as she exclaimed something was wrong.
On the arena.
The situation had changed again.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Bursts of flames erupted.
The air shook violently, and snowflakes were chaotically swept around.
Fire Dragons elegantly danced in the air.
In an instant, the arena became a battleground of ice and fire. Ice crystals and snowflakes melted into water under the fiery heat of the Fire Dragons, creating plumes of white mist, as if the entire arena was inside a giant steamer.
"Those are my Fire Dragon Fruits." Junior Brother Li Yuzhe shouted excitedly, "I spent ten years painstakingly cultivating them." His words were full of pride.
Fire Dragon Fruit is difficult to cultivate, with a long growth cycle and high cost.
Li Yuzhe kept it as a trump card, usually reluctant to use even one.
He was ultimately defeated by Wang Luojing, holding back partly due to reluctance to use them and partly because defeat came too swiftly.
Later, hearing Wang Shouzhe was taking everyone to experience Profound Ice Hall.
Li Yuzhe, in a moment of excitement, handed the Fire Dragon Fruit to Wang Shouzhe as a trump card for self-defense.
Turns out it came in handy.
Yet while Li Yuzhe felt comforted, there was a pang in his heart.
"Senior Brother Shouzhe, can’t you use them more sparingly? I’ve painstakingly cultivated those Fire Dragon Fruits for so long, and you used them all at once without any hesitation or heartache."
