Chapter 121 Crimson Extreme Cold
The sword wind obliterated most of the soul-guided rays, but many still managed to strike Ye Nanxiao.
"This is troublesome." While constantly dodging the soul-guided rays, Ye Nanxiao focused his attention on Ma Rulong. Ice spikes kept growing on the ground, and the falling snow turned into weapons, blooming like fireworks.
Five triangular soul tools emitting a soft light floated around Ma Rulong, each of their points constantly emitting rays to block the ice spikes and snowflakes attacking him.
Ma Rulong was also somewhat alarmed. Faced with so many soul-guided rays, Ye Nanxiao was able to dodge while still keeping his attention on him. He thought to himself, "What a terrifying opponent."
With both hands gripping the hilt of the Sword of Judgment tightly, Ma Rulong made a decision in an instant. He slowly raised the Sword of Judgment above his head, and intense golden light emanated from the sword. A golden shield was activated, and at the same time, Ma Rulong's eyes turned golden. All of his soul power surged into the Sword of Judgment, and the nine core magic arrays on the sword continuously absorbed Ma Rulong's soul power.
Seemingly feeling it wasn't enough, Ma Rulong bit his tongue, spat out a drop of blood essence, and used his soul power to envelop the blood essence and merge it into the Sword of Judgment.
Sensing the massive fluctuation of soul power, Ye Nanxiao raised his hand and manipulated countless snowflakes into a huge shield to block all the soul-guided rays. He threw the ice blade into the air and clasped his hands together to form a hand seal.
"This kid's risking his life. You'd better watch out this time, or you'll get slashed by this damn sword again. I hate this sword." Dark Leaf's voice echoed in his mind.
"Why are you still here? Where is Xue'er?" Ye Nanxiao changed his hand seals, and instantly all the snowflakes gathered together, turning into a sea.
"I've blocked it. I can use the same methods as you, but what I can do, you might not be able to do," An Ye said in a seductive tone.
The golden light emanating from the Sword of Judgment began to retract into its blade. The black and white markings on the blade leaped out and transformed into a huge phantom of the Sword of Judgment, appearing above Ma Rulong. Ma Rulong's face was pale due to a drop of blood essence, but the madness in his eyes intensified.
Looking at Ye Nanxiao's figure, Ma Rulong felt that the power he had accumulated was still not enough. He twisted the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the hilt of the Sword of Judgment changed. Part of the outer shell cracked open, revealing a circular notch.
"It seems I can't keep the reward the sect leader gave me; I'll give it to you as well!"
Ma Rulong took out a dark red crystal ball and inserted it into the sword. The power of the Sword of Judgment immediately increased several times, and a strange aura emanated from the sword.
Streaks of lightning rose from beneath Ma Rulong's feet and ascended into the raised sword of judgment.
The enormous sword shadow and the snowflakes that transformed into giant waves faced off, but this spectacular scene was unseen by the members of the two teams and the civilians.
However, the fight between the two shocked some of the older guys.
"Not good, that kid has burned his life force, Xiao is in danger!" Elder Xuan sensed the two auras on the field and noticed that Ma Rulong's aura had suddenly surged, but it was very unstable, like a dying ember in the wind.
He immediately threw away the chicken leg in his hand, and floated to the outside of the protective barrier of the arena. His old eyes were fixed on the direction of Ye Nanxiao's aura. If Ye Nanxiao could not withstand Ma Rulong's move, Elder Xuan would tear open the barrier to save him.
Tian Sha Douluo naturally noticed Xuan Lao's aura, but dared not say anything. He immediately mobilized his soul power and focused his attention on Ye Nanxiao. Otherwise, if Xuan Lao went crazy, no one in Xingluo could stop this old madman.
The team leader of the Sun and Moon team also stood up abruptly, looking at Elder Xuan with an uncertain expression. Some of the team members around him had already begun to equip themselves with soul tools.
"Quiet down, all of you! Sit down! That guy is the Gluttonous Douluo!" The team leader of the Sun and Moon team shouted helplessly. If Master Ma were still here, he could be a bit more forceful.
The members of the Sun and Moon Team reluctantly retrieved their soul tools, but the anger in their eyes remained undiminished.
"Ye Nanxiao! This is my highest respect! Accept it!" Ma Rulong roared, gripping the Sword of Judgment with all his might and slashing fiercely towards Ye Nanxiao.
A massive black and white phantom, carrying a golden sword blade, descended upon Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao felt as if he was locked on, unable to avoid the shadow of the Sword of Judgment.
"Damn it, this sword is imbued with a trace of the power of fate!" Dark Leaf cursed in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
Ye Nanxiao mobilized his soul power. He sensed danger from the Sword of Judgment and immediately unleashed his full power. He raised his right hand, and a series of huge ice shields engraved with mysterious patterns took shape. There were seven layers of ice shields in total. The ice shields were hexagonal in shape and looked like huge snowflakes floating in the air when viewed from a distance.
"Seven layers of Floating Shield!" Ye Nanxiao also frantically poured in his soul power. This was a sword strike from which Ma Rulong had paid a great price, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.
"If it is darkness! It deserves to be punished for its sins!" Ma Rulong shouted, and the shadow of the Sword of Judgment instantly turned black.
"Boom!!" Ye Nanxiao seemed to have forgotten that Ma Rulong was a Soul Emperor, and with his full-force attack, which burned his life force and added a level seven amplification core, the phantom of the Sword of Judgment easily shattered Ye Nanxiao's five layers of ice shields.
"Stop!" Ye Nanxiao shouted in his heart, but the sixth layer of ice shield also shattered, leaving Ye Nanxiao with only the last layer of ice shield, which also showed signs of breaking.
"Are you kidding me?" Ma Rulong felt a tremendous force stopping him from continuing to slash. He was a Soul Emperor, after all.
"We can't stop here! No matter how high the price!" Ma Rulong flipped the Sword of Judgment to the white side, bit his tongue, and spat out another drop of blood essence.
The essence blood fell onto the sword, causing the nine core magic arrays to make a loud noise. The white light emanating from the sword transformed into a white stream of light that merged into the phantom of the Sword of Judgment, covering up the original black.
The phantom of the Sword of Judgment exploded instantly, shattering Ye Nanxiao's last layer of ice shield and revealing his figure.
"Here it comes, feel the darkness!" Ma Rulong forcefully plunged the Sword of Judgment in his hand into the ground, facing Ye Nanxiao with the black side facing him.
The black side of the Sword of Judgment emitted a black light, so fast that Ye Nanxiao only saw a black light flash across the air. Immediately afterwards, a dark and cold feeling spread throughout his body.
"Let me help you unleash your original power!" Dark Leaf let out a low laugh.
Ye Nanxiao shuddered, as if a volcano was erupting within him, unleashing a surge of power that instantly dispelled the energy of the Sword of Judgment that had invaded his body.
Within Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea, the Snow Emperor wore a solemn expression, her hands constantly shifting through various hand seals. The sealed ice mountain was riddled with cracks, and the great fox roared to the sky, as streams of power forcefully spread through the sealed ice mountain, coating Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea with a layer of red light.
"Ahhh!" Ye Nanxiao knelt on the ground, clutching his head and screaming in agony. The sudden surge of power filled the meridians in his body, and with the surge of power, the pain Ye Nanxiao endured became even stronger.
"Don't worry, it won't burst you. I'm just bypassing you and turning on the switch for your power so you can experience in advance what kind of power is hidden inside you!" An Ye took the opportunity to take over the use of the body.
Ye Nanxiao was unable to maintain the extreme cold disaster, and the domain dissipated, revealing the details of their battle.
Upon seeing the battle, the stands erupted in uproar.
The elderly men behind Xu Jiawei stood within five steps of the emperor. They felt a pang of fear and kept scrutinizing the arena, their gazes sweeping over Ye Nanxiao.
In a corner of one of the entrances to the arena, two masked men in black robes stood. One of them was holding a soul tool that looked like a lamp holder. Inside the transparent dome in the center, a small piece of dark blue crystal was slowly disappearing, turning into wisps of energy that were absorbed by the lamp holder, emitting a faint, eerie light that enveloped the two men.
"It's here again, it's this energy, I've felt it before!" A man in black robes covered his face with a mask, his whole body trembling slightly.
Ma Rulong plunged the Sword of Judgment into the ground, leaned his entire body against it, and smiled.
Below the stage, Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, and others gathered around the competition platform, waiting for Elder Xuan to make his move.
Elder Xuan's expression was solemn, and his earth-yellow soul power swirled around him. He knew Ye Nanxiao very well; if Ye Nanxiao didn't make a gesture, he wouldn't interfere with Ye Nanxiao's battle.
Jiang Nannan covered her mouth, and two lines of clear tears had already fallen down her pretty face.
Ma Xiaotao's face was filled with murderous intent, and the space around her was distorted by the high temperature. Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and his eyes were bloodshot. Bei Bei and the others clenched their fists. None of them had ever seen Ye Nanxiao in such a disheveled state, let alone like this.
A faint smile appeared on Ma Rulong's pale face; Ye Nanxiao's screams sounded so wonderful to him.
Sensing the remaining soul power within his body, a soul-guided cannon with five muzzles appeared on Ma Rulong's shoulder. He took out a level six milk bottle and inserted it into the soul-guided cannon. This was a soul-guided device being tested by Mingde Hall, which could be driven by the soul power stored in the milk bottle. This was also the reason why Ma Rulong dared to exhaust his soul power to fight Ye Nanxiao.
"This is the highest-grade soul-guided cannon I can use. Although it came at a great cost, it's all worth it to beat you and Shrek Academy." Ma Rulong aimed the soul-guided cannon at Ye Nanxiao and pulled the trigger.
Five crimson soul-guided rays, streaked with tiny black lightning bolts, shot toward Ye Nanxiao.
The Heavenly Fiend Douluo had already flashed to Ye Nanxiao's side, assessing Ye Nanxiao's condition.
"Xiao'er, can you hear me? Hold fast to your heart, and leave the rest to me." The Snow Emperor's eyes turned white as she mobilized the power within her seal.
As the intense pain subsided, An Ye moved her body, shielding herself from Xue Di, and felt the power surging within her.
"I feel a strange urge, let me vent it." Ye Nanxiao suddenly smiled strangely, raised his right hand, and a blood-red ice blade instantly solidified.
Tian Sha Douluo sensed a threat from Ye Nanxiao's ice blade, dodged to create distance, and stared at Ye Nanxiao with a serious expression.
Elder Xuan's face was terribly gloomy, but Ye Nanxiao had not lost yet. Given Ye Nanxiao's personality, if Elder Xuan forcibly knocked Ye Nanxiao unconscious and took him away, Ye Nanxiao might do something dangerous after waking up. Although Ye Nanxiao usually appeared amiable, his pride was stronger than anyone else's.
Looking at the blood-red ice blade in his hand, Ye Nanxiao, who should be Dark Leaf, shook his head as he watched the five soul-guided rays shooting towards him at high speed. He said, "My self-created soul skill in my debut was shattered by your sword. It's a bit embarrassing, but we should return the favor."
His first spirit ring flashed, and "Flock of Birds Ice Pillars" erupted, turning all the ice blocks a faint red, forcefully pushing back the crimson spirit guide ray emitted by Ma Rulong.
"How come it's even stronger?" Ma Rulong kept firing soul-guided rays to destroy Ye Nanxiao's ice bullets, but not a single one was destroyed. This shocked Ma Rulong. "This is a level seven soul tool! How is this possible? Ye Nanxiao is just a Soul King!"
Completely destroying the enhancement core unleashed the light of the Sword of Judgment.
One after another, soul-guided cannons of different styles were quickly installed, and even the five triangular soul-guided devices that had been floating earlier flew out and formed a long whip.
Dark Leaf forcefully unleashed a blood-red sword aura, cleaving the sword light of the Sword of Judgment in two. He then made a grasping motion with his left hand, swung out a ring of icy currents.
The icy ring, emanating a chilling aura, exploded the moment it touched the triangular soul tools, freezing the five triangular soul tools in a cloud of icy mist. The frozen soul tools fell to the ground.
An Ye threw out his ice blade, which pierced through the air and struck.
Ma Rulong watched the ice blade fly towards him, assessed its trajectory, and realized it wasn't aimed at him. A question immediately arose in his mind: "Could it be that Ye Nanxiao is already at his limit? Did he miss his target?"
Ice Blade Ma Rulong's soul tool on his shoulder passed by.
The next moment, Dark Leaf appeared on the ice blade, flipped over, gripped the ice blade, and slashed down.
A streak of red light flashed by.
Ma Rulong maintained a high level of concentration and reacted quickly. He decisively abandoned the Soul Guidance Cannon on his body, took the Sword of Judgment, and instantly activated the level seven defensive shield on his body.
With a single slash, An Ye severed several level-five soul-guided cannons. He then aimed his left hand at Ma Rulong, and his first soul ring shone brightly behind him, causing large ice bullets to condense and shoot out in the air.
The flock of birds and icicles landed on the level seven soul-guiding shield.
Ma Rulong stared wide-eyed as he watched his level-seven soul-guided shield crack and shatter completely under the impact of the ice bullet, until it triggered his invincible shield.
"Finally here, the thickest tortoise shell." Seeing Ma Rulong's invincible shield activated, An Ye landed and stomped on the ground, dashing forward at more than twice the speed of before.
Seeing Ma Rulong's surprised expression, An Ye slashed down with his sword, grinning, "Tit for tat! A reciprocal exchange!"
The moment An Ye charged at him, Ma Rulong forcibly activated the white side of the Judgment Sword by channeling the wisp of soul power that had just been generated within his body. As Ye Nanxiao's blade struck the protective shield, a powerful incandescent light erupted from the Judgment Sword.
The blood-red ice blade slammed into Ma Rulong's invincible shield, and the level seven invincible shield, which could block attacks from Soul Saints, was cut in two by Dark Leaf.
The ice blade struck the Sword of Judgment, and crimson frost rapidly spread across it, causing the level-eight soul tool to emit a mournful cry.
Feeling the threat of death from the crimson frost, Ma Rulong shouted with all his might, "I surrender!!"
"Stop!" Tian Sha Douluo unleashed a beam of starlight that instantly struck Ma Rulong. He then dodged and used his soul power to block Ye Nanxiao's ice blade. The red chill landed on him, and Tian Sha Douluo felt his soul power circulation slow down by half.
An Ye wanted to slash a few more times to avenge the two previous Judgment Swords, but Ye Nanxiao regained control of his body, so he had to give up.
"What terrifying power, a blood-red extreme cold," Ye Nanxiao muttered to himself.
"This is the power you possess. If it weren't for the Snow Woman's constant obstruction, you would have already destroyed this Sun and Moon Team. Listen to me, accept your power, and our names will resound throughout this world and even the world the Snow Woman wants to go to." Dark Leaf lowered his voice, trying his best to suppress his excitement.
"Do you know that? You're not cut out to seduce people, understand?" Ye Nanxiao's tone was full of disdain.
"."
Ye Nanxiao's soul power was instantly disintegrated by the starlight, the ice blade dissipated, and waves of pain spread throughout his body, followed by a feeling of weakness after his power was overstimulated.
"Ah, I've overdrawn my energy. As expected, I can't handle the big fox right now." My vision went dark.
However, Ye Nanxiao used his last bit of strength to keep himself from collapsing in front of Ma Rulong, and he passed out standing up.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao standing unconscious, Ma Rulong's expression turned serious, filled with respect and apprehension.
The moment Ye Nanxiao fainted, Elder Xuan flashed to Ye Nanxiao's side, picked him up, and Ye Nanxiao was still radiating coldness. Even Elder Xuan, a Super Douluo, couldn't help but shiver from that coldness.
"Shrek Academy, victory!" Tian Sha Douluo suppressed his surprise and announced loudly.
The entire stadium fell silent for a second, and then a deafening roar of cheers erupted. All the spectators were flushed with excitement.
Xiao Hongchen walked back to the group with a look of resentment and Ma Rulong with a look of shame.
The moment the arena shield was removed, Huo Yuhao and the others ran onto the competition stage. The whole team showed no signs of excitement. Wang Yan sighed, simply because Ye Nanxiao had fainted.
"Don't come any closer! The chill emanating from Xiao Xiao hasn't dissipated yet!" Elder Xuan spoke up, stopping Jiang Nannan, who was the first to step forward, and Ma Xiaotao, who arrived second.
Jiang Nannan's pretty face still bore traces of tears, but she looked at Elder Xuan with a determined gaze and said, "It's alright, A-Xiao won't hurt me." After saying that, she ignored Elder Xuan's warning and ran to Ye Nanxiao's side, taking Ye Nanxiao's hand.
Elder Xuan was also surprised that the usually gentle Jiang Nannan would rebel against him. By the time he realized what was happening, Jiang Nannan had already stepped forward and taken Ye Nanxiao's hand.
"You!...Hmm?!" Elder Xuan noticed a faint nine-tailed fox pattern on Jiang Nannan's forehead. The light was very dim. If Elder Xuan hadn't had amazing eyesight and been very close to Jiang Nannan, he wouldn't have been able to see the pattern on her forehead.
"What is this?" Elder Xuan was puzzled, but after the cold aura emanating from Ye Nanxiao did not cause any harm to Jiang Nannan, he had no choice but to hand Ye Nanxiao over to Jiang Nannan to hold.
Ma Xiaotao also wanted to step forward and hold Ye Nanxiao's hand, but she held back.
Jiang Nannan carried Ye Nanxiao in a princess carry, carefully checking his breathing. After confirming that Ye Nanxiao was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief, told Huo Yuhao and the others, and then carried Ye Nanxiao back to the hotel.
Upon hearing Jiang Nannan say that Ye Nanxiao was alright, Huo Yuhao and the others excitedly shouted, "We are the champions!"
