Chapter 151 New Crisis
Chapter 151 New Crisis
On the frigid and perilous Cold Light Snow Mountain, Zhang Yifan had just reached a temporary reconciliation with Bingfeng. Before he could even catch his breath, he was suddenly plunged into an even more thrilling crisis by this unexpected turn of events.
The dark cloud in the sky resembled a gigantic black eye, coldly observing everything below. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, seemingly containing boundless rage and power. The black lightning bolt, like a peerless divine weapon, struck Zhang Yifan and Bingfeng with earth-shattering force. Immediately afterward, the surrounding snow began to tremble violently, as if an invisible giant hand was churning the earth. Sharp ice spikes burst forth from the ground, instantly surrounding them like a cold cage, offering no escape.
Alarm bells rang in Zhang Yifan's mind; he knew he had encountered an extremely powerful and mysterious opponent. Without time to think, he swiftly mobilized his spiritual energy, concentrating it on his longsword. The sword shimmered and hummed, as if cheering on the impending battle. He flashed like a black phantom, weaving swiftly through the ice spikes, his longsword unleashing sharp sword energy that severed the approaching spikes one by one.
However, the mysterious entity's attack did not stop there. Suddenly, countless black ice shards descended from the dark clouds, shooting towards Zhang Yifan like sharp arrows with a whistling sound. Each ice shard contained powerful dark energy, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a hissing sound. Zhang Yifan's eyes sharpened. He used a defensive move from the Xuanqing Sword Technique, his longsword spinning rapidly in front of him to form a spiritual energy shield, attempting to block the attack of the ice shards.
A series of clanging sounds rang out as ice shards struck the shield, sending sparks flying. Although the shield temporarily withstood the attack, Zhang Yifan felt a tremendous impact, involuntarily taking a few steps back. He was secretly astonished; this mysterious being was incredibly powerful, and this single attack had already overwhelmed him.
Before he could even regain his footing, the snowfield underwent another dramatic change. Huge waves of snow suddenly surged up from the previously flat ground, concealing countless sharp ice shards within them, like hidden weapons, sweeping towards Zhang Yifan. Seeing this, Zhang Yifan immediately used his movement technique to try and dodge the snow waves. However, the snow waves were extremely fast and covered a vast area; he couldn't dodge in time, and his body was struck by the waves, instantly engulfed.
As the snow waves crashed against him, Zhang Yifan felt as if his body was being cut by countless sharp blades, the pain unbearable. He endured the excruciating pain, circulating his spiritual energy in an attempt to break free from the snow waves' restraints. After much effort, he finally managed to struggle free from the snow waves, his clothes torn in many places, blood seeping from the wounds and staining his garments red.
At this moment, Zhang Yifan realized he was facing an unprecedented and arduous battle. But he didn't back down; instead, it ignited his fighting spirit. He took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and with a determined glint in his eyes, stared intently at the dark clouds in the sky, preparing to meet the next attack from the mysterious entity.
As the battle continued, Zhang Yifan gradually adapted to the mysterious being's attack rhythm. He discovered that although this mysterious being's attack methods were numerous and powerful, they were not without flaws. For example, during the transitions between attacks, there would be brief periods of unstable spiritual energy fluctuations. Zhang Yifan keenly noticed this and decided to exploit this weakness to launch a counterattack against the mysterious being.
When the mysterious entity launched its attack again, a massive black ice pillar shot towards Zhang Yifan from the dark clouds. Instead of dodging, Zhang Yifan charged towards the pillar. At the instant he approached, he swiftly dodged the direct attack, simultaneously thrusting his longsword fiercely towards the base of the ice pillar. This strike precisely hit the weakest point of spiritual energy at the base of the pillar. With a crisp "crack," the ice pillar shattered instantly, turning into countless ice shards scattered across the ground.
Zhang Yifan pressed his advantage, unleashing a series of fierce sword techniques from the Xuanqing Sword Art. Strands of sword energy crisscrossed and swept towards the dark clouds in the sky. Wherever the sword energy reached, the dark clouds were torn open. The mysterious entity seemed to sense the threat, constantly moving within the clouds to evade the sword energy's attacks.
In the following dozens of rounds, Zhang Yifan gradually gained the upper hand. With his keen insight, agile movements, and exquisite swordsmanship, he repeatedly deflected the mysterious entity's attacks and delivered heavy counterattacks. The mysterious entity's attacks began to become chaotic and disorderly, losing their initial powerful and oppressive force.
Finally, in a fierce exchange, Zhang Yifan seized an opening in the mysterious entity's defenses. He unleashed all his spiritual power, concentrating it on his longsword, and then hurled it at the entity. The longsword, carrying a dazzling light, streaked across the sky like a shooting star, piercing straight towards the entity's core.
A scream rang out, and the mysterious entity plummeted from the dark clouds, crashing heavily onto the snow. Zhang Yifan rushed over and saw a figure in a black robe lying on the ground, its face obscured. He cautiously approached, using his sword to pry open a corner of the robe, his heart filled with vigilance.
Bingfeng watched all this with a hint of surprise in her eyes. The moment Zhang Yifan lifted the black robe, Bingfeng's body suddenly trembled, clearly shocked by the face beneath. However, before Zhang Yifan could even make out the mysterious being's face, the surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically.
The snow-capped mountain began to tremble violently, as if a great disaster was about to occur. Thick, dark clouds filled the sky, with constant flashes of lightning and thunder. Streaks of lightning, like giant dragons, weaved through the clouds, illuminating the entire sky as if it were daytime. The snow on the ground began to melt, forming rushing streams that surged down the mountainside.
Zhang Yifan was shocked; he had no idea what was going on with this sudden change. He looked around, trying to find the cause, but everything around him was in chaos. He looked at Bingfeng and saw that her eyes were filled with fear and unease.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yifan asked loudly. Bingfeng shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. A sense of foreboding welled up in Zhang Yifan's heart. He knew that this crisis was far from over. In this chaotic situation, he had to figure out what had happened as soon as possible and find a solution, otherwise, both he and Bingfeng would be in danger.
Just then, the mysterious entity suddenly moved, seemingly struggling to get up. Zhang Yifan immediately became alert, gripping his longsword tightly, preparing to face the mysterious entity's attack again. However, the mysterious entity did not attack, but instead said in a weak voice, "Quick... get out of here... Disaster... is coming..."
Zhang Yifan was startled. He was about to ask what kind of disaster it was when suddenly, a huge crack rapidly spread out from beneath his feet, emanating a powerful suction force that tried to pull him and everything around him into it. Zhang Yifan quickly used his movement technique to try to escape the crack's range, but the suction force grew stronger and stronger, and he felt his body becoming increasingly out of control.
Seeing this, Ice Phoenix immediately flew over, grabbed Zhang Yifan's shoulder with its claws, and struggled to fly into the sky. With Ice Phoenix's help, Zhang Yifan finally escaped the danger of the rift. Looking down at the chaotic scene below, they were filled with worry.
"What should we do now?" Zhang Yifan asked. The Ice Phoenix didn't answer, a hint of confusion in its eyes. Zhang Yifan knew they had to find a safe place as soon as possible to escape this unknown disaster. But in this chaotic snow-covered mountain, where was safe?
Just as they hesitated, a strange light suddenly appeared in the sky, seemingly containing some mysterious power. Zhang Yifan and Bingfeng exchanged a glance; they both had a premonition that this light might be the key to their escape from their predicament. Therefore, without hesitation, they flew towards the light, preparing to face new challenges and an unknown fate.
