C381 Kill! Kill! Kill!!

Ancient treasures, beyond classification, exist outside the ordinary, passed down from ancient times. These ancient times aren't what people today refer to as ancient; they date back to an era before the great ancient catastrophe. If traced back, people now would call it the prehistoric era, making this treasure a prehistoric relic.

Legend has it that such treasures don't belong to this world. Even a master craftsman of the highest order couldn't create them, and their power is unimaginably immense. The Ice Crystal Fire Hall, though a mere imitation, might not match the might of top-tier artifacts, but its effectiveness is extraordinary.

The Ice Crystal Fire Hall not only forms its own space and offers incredible protection but also possesses formidable offensive power, which enhances the wielder's abilities. Nie Fengyu and the others sensed that the true essence of Bing'er and her companions was being channeled into Woo Zhengyang. Previously, they empowered Zhengyang, boosting his combat prowess.

In truth, Bing'er and her companions' true essence was entirely focused on controlling the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. Under their command, the Hall's energy pool became like another reservoir for Woo Zhengyang, continuously infusing him with energy, allowing him to compete with experts at the Reality Condensing Stage.

On that day, in the No Life Patriarch's domain, the four women promised Woo Zhengyang a surprise, and this was it.

It was precisely because of this that Woo Zhengyang appeared today with such confidence, completely unafraid. Of course, there were several limitations he had to contend with.

First, the human body has its limits. Just like an ordinary person, if you inject too much energy into them, they won't become a master; instead, they'll be overwhelmed and perish. So, the strength of the person controlling the Ice Crystal Fire Hall determines how much power they can wield. If it were an average practitioner, even if they controlled the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, they might only reach the Shape Gathering Stage.

Woo Zhengyang, however, could harness the power of the Reality Condensing Stage due to his training in the Body Tempering Technique and the compatibility of his Ice Crystal Fire Body with the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. Even so, he had to gradually adapt. Ever since discovering the hall's wonders, he had been acclimating, yet still found it challenging. This was why he engaged slowly with the elders of the Fallen Moon Sect.

Secondly, the energy pool, although vast and far exceeding the capacity of a practitioner's core, consisted of rootless energy. Once consumed, it wouldn't regenerate. The higher he elevated his skills, the more energy he would consume exponentially. Woo Zhengyang needed to be cautious with its use, knowing that the Profound Heaven Sect's crisis might last a long time.

The elder from the Fallen Moon Sect was momentarily taken aback, which played right into Woo Zhengyang's hands. Using minimal energy while gradually getting accustomed to this sensation was a win-win situation.

However, this state of affairs only lasted for a brief moment before the elder from the Fallen Moon Sect grew impatient. Woo Zhengyang's demeanor was too composed. Despite being a relatively young individual, his actions resembled those of a seasoned master imparting wisdom to a junior.

In the past, if Woo Zhengyang had put on such airs, the elder would have deemed him arrogant and been furious. But after exchanging over a dozen moves without gaining the upper hand, the elder had no room to criticize Woo Zhengyang's audacity or to feel anger. Instead, a long-lost sense of unease grew stronger within him.

"I must end this quickly!" he thought. With that, the glow of his sword suddenly dimmed. Enveloped in a powerful aura, he charged toward Woo Zhengyang at such speed that only a faint afterimage was visible.

"He's using a technique that burns his life force!" someone exclaimed.

"His target is the four maidens..." another voice chimed in.

In the face of danger to the maidens, even the fear of a powerful expert seemed to vanish, leading someone to call the elder an "old geezer." If circumstances allowed, the elder's temper would have flared once more.

Woo Zhengyang had anticipated that someone would target Bing'er and the other three women, but he hadn't expected the guy to lose his cool so quickly. Then again, it made sense; the guy was probably spooked by Woo's bluff.

For the first time, Woo Zhengyang realized that sometimes it's better not to have such a sharp tongue, especially if you don't want to end the fight too quickly. Provoking the enemy into a frenzy might feel satisfying, but it doesn't help the battle strategy.

The elder from the Fallen Moon Sect moved with incredible speed, appearing next to Li'er in the blink of an eye, his sword thrusting forward.

Despite the imminent threat, Bing'er and the other three women remained unfazed, their eyes fixed ahead as they continued channeling their energy to control the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. Even as the sword neared Li'er, she didn't flinch.

Their unwavering trust touched Woo Zhengyang deeply. In a world full of deceit and betrayal, it was the first time he felt such genuine trust from others. How could he possibly let them down?

With this resolve, Woo Zhengyang's gaze became steely, and he charged forward with equal speed, wielding the No Life Sword against the elder from the Fallen Moon Sect.

Both swordsmen refrained from unleashing their sword energy, making the clash appear less dramatic to the untrained eye. However, those who truly understood knew that engaging with the sword itself was far more perilous.

The power of this sword skill unleashes at the most critical moment, capable of delivering a fatal blow.

“Boom...”

The clash of two swords didn’t ring with the sound of metal, but rather exploded like distant thunder in the sky.

From the point where the swords met, a semicircular orb of light rapidly expanded outward. Half of the orb was white, the other half icy blue, representing the sword energy released by the two fighters.

Initially, the white and icy blue sword energies were evenly matched. However, the icy blue soon began to dominate, and before long, the white was barely visible, with the sky entirely covered in icy blue light, blocking out the sun.

Within the light, the body of the elder from the Fallen Moon Sect was sent flying.

A trail of blood rained down, adding a vivid, almost beautiful touch to the icy blue in the sky...

“If you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!”

Woo Zhengyang’s arrogant voice echoed as the elder from the Fallen Moon Sect was flung away.

Then, Woo Zhengyang pursued the elder, with the four women behind him following in perfect harmony, as if they shared a single mind.

“How dare you!”

“Stop!”

The elders from the Fallen Sun Sect and the Fallen Star Sect shouted almost simultaneously, swiftly moving toward the battle zone.

Just moments ago, when Woo Zhengyang was battling the elder of the Fallen Moon Sect, everyone had instinctively backed away to a safe distance. Woo Zhengyang's speed at this moment wasn't much slower than theirs, so there was no way they could catch up to him.

In the blink of an eye, Woo Zhengyang had already closed in on the elder of the Fallen Moon Sect. Just as the elder was about to hit the ground, Woo Zhengyang's No Life Sword pierced through his body...
