Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 393 Fierce Battle with Qiongqi

Dear fans of Xiaoyao Yixiaosheng, the latest chapter of "The Revelation of Heaven's Path" has been released!

Seeing that his attack had a good effect, Qin Xiaochuan was invigorated and asked, "So, can we fight Qiongqi now?"

"Qiongqi's strength lies not only in its extremely cold icy marrow, but also in the resentment of the ancient water god Gonggong, which gives it absolute control over water-based skills. Moreover, it is adept at distorting the truth and can influence people's minds without them even realizing it." As Kaiming was speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he said bitterly, "Now, even if we don't want to fight, we have no choice."

It's unclear when it started, but the sky was filled with hexagonal ice crystals shimmering with a ghostly blue light, turning the sky into a vast expanse of blue. Even the Crescent Moon City below was barely visible, and Qiongqi had vanished without a trace. It turned out that while Kaiming was dodging the ice spikes, Qiongqi had already laid a net around the two of them.

The chill penetrated to the bone. Surrounded by this blue icy mist, Qin Xiaochuan felt his body temperature rapidly decreasing, as if even his blood was freezing. After a long period of physical training, his physique was now comparable to that of a level 7 physical martial arts master. He was confident that he could stand shirtless in the snow and ice for half a day, but in this dark blue icy mist, he couldn't even last half a minute. This showed just how powerful Qiongqi's skill was.

Qin Xiaochuan immediately released the Samadhi True Fire spiritual power, forming a thin bluish-white flame shield around himself and Kaiming, which helped them resist the cold. However, the spiritual power in his body was being consumed at a visible rate. If it weren't for the spiritual power of the witch's ring, Qin Xiaochuan wouldn't have been able to stay in this icy fog for long.

"We need to get out of this hellhole quickly, we can't hold out much longer at this rate," Kaiming said. "Dealing with a monster that is one of the Four Ancient Fiends is definitely too much of a stretch."

"Taowu was also one of the Four Ancient Fiends, but we still defeated it." Although Qin Xiaochuan knew that this place was not suitable for staying for long, even after opening his mental space, he still couldn't find any flaws in the ice mist.

Just then, a tornado suddenly formed in the icy mist, and the dark blue ice crystals swept towards Qin Xiaochuan along with the tornado. Qin Xiaochuan had no choice but to continuously release the Blazing Sky skill around himself to resist the attack of the ice crystals, but this made his spiritual power deplete even faster.

"That's because you got lucky. Taotie was sealed away for thousands of years, and its strength is less than 30%. Even so, you still had to exert a lot of effort to defeat it." Faced with Qiongqi's attack, Kaiming had no ability to deal with it and could only complain. Perhaps because of nervousness, he became particularly talkative. "Qiongqi is at its peak right now. With your current strength, you can't possibly be its match."

"Now, I'm afraid the only way for us to escape this icy mist is to defeat the caster." Qin Xiaochuan quickly realized the situation. This icy mist was likely a domain skill of Qiongqi, which could not only block the enemy's senses but also weaken the enemy's various attributes. If Qin Xiaochuan hadn't possessed the Samadhi True Fire, which could just happen to counter Qiongqi's extreme cold ice marrow, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it at all. Under these circumstances, only by defeating the caster could he have a chance of survival.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaochuan's mental space was powerful enough. Although the ice mist could block his physical senses, it could not block his mental senses. He could clearly perceive Qiongqi's every move in the ice mist. He shared his mental space with Kaiming, who immediately understood and quickly rushed towards Qiongqi with Qin Xiaochuan.

Qin Xiaochuan's Blazing Fist and Kaiming's Soul-Splitting Claw landed on Qiongqi almost simultaneously, but were easily blocked by a layer of blue ice shield. When Qin Xiaochuan's Samadhi True Fire passed through the ice shield, Qiongqi's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind him, swinging its tiger claws to strike Qin Xiaochuan's back.

Qiongqi used the same Ice Burial technique it had used against the Golden Priest. Ice crystals spread rapidly under its claws, freezing half of Qin Xiaochuan's body in the blink of an eye.

"Holy Flame Baptism!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, finally unleashing his skill before the ice crystals completely trapped him. A burst of bluish-white flames erupted, instantly destroying the Qiongqi's nascent ice prison. At the moment the ice crystals melted, Kaiming also unleashed his skill—Thunder Fiend Cannon.

"Boom!" A series of explosions rang in their ears. Although Kaiming's skills were powerful, Qiongqi was protected by ice armor, and the lightning only danced on the surface of its body.

The tornado carrying endless ice crystals struck again, forcing Qin Xiaochuan to abandon his pursuit of Qiongqi and unleash his full power to burn the sky with blazing flames to resist the erosion of the ice crystals.

"Its movements don't rely entirely on speed," Qin Xiaochuan said, frowning. No matter how fast the opponent was, Qin Xiaochuan could predict the opponent's next attack the moment it moved, thanks to his mental space. However, he only sensed the opponent's location when Qiongqi appeared behind him. Although he eventually reacted, the situation was extremely dangerous, and he could have been seriously injured if he hadn't been careful.

"Not relying on speed? Could it be spatial skills?" Kaiming asked.

Qin Xiaochuan thought so too. Only spatial skills could eliminate the traces of movement and render Qin Xiaochuan's predictive ability ineffective. In this situation, he had very little time to react. In a battle between experts, even a slight oversight could result in serious injury. Qin Xiaochuan could only close his eyes, calm his mind, and let his mental imprint rotate in his heart. At this moment, Qin Xiaochuan's perception was already at its maximum. Even if a piece of ice crystal shattered, it would be difficult to escape his mental perception.

Qiongqi's attack came from behind again. Just as the dark blue ice crystals appeared under its claws, Qin Xiaochuan reacted. He released his mental shock to slow down Qiongqi's attack, and with the help of Wind Shadow Flash, he easily circled behind Qiongqi. His Flaming Fist directly hit the opponent's back. Even though Qiongqi had ice armor, it could not withstand the attack of Samadhi True Fire. When the ice armor melted into a puddle of water, Kaiming also seized the opportunity to follow up with his lightning skill.

"Boom!" Qin Xiaochuan and Kaiming's skills exploded on Qiongqi at the same time. This time, Qiongqi did not have time to disappear, but turned into an ice sculpture and was transformed into countless ice crystals under the skills of the two.

Qiongqi's ice crystal tornado struck again, and Qin Xiaochuan could only release his spiritual power once more to defend against it.
