Chapter 791: Emerged
Xue Feng stands on the vast snowfield, looking around with a bewildered expression.
"Where exactly is this place? Why can’t I find the little girl?"
He had been shouting for a long time, his voice hoarse, but no one responded to him.
It feels like a no man’s land here.
Just as he was about to sit down and rest for a while, the surroundings suddenly started to shake violently.
Soon, he saw a figure slowly emerging from beneath the snowfield ahead of him.
When he saw the person’s face clearly, his expression changed instantly.
"Xue Wei! How did you end up here!" Xue Feng said warily, watching Xue Wei emerge from the snow.
However, the person opposite didn’t speak to him. Just as he was about to step forward to demand answers, the surrounding snowfield began to tremble.
Soon, one Xue Wei after another started to appear from within the snow.
"What’s going on? How can this be? Why are there so many Xue Wei here!"
Xue Feng forced himself to calm down, looking at these faces, and it seemed he understood what was going on.
If he guessed correctly, these Xue Wei seem to have been formed within his Illusory Realm!
But before he could think carefully, he found himself still in the Illusory Realm.
Those Xue Wei mercilessly rushed toward Xue Feng.
Xue Feng’s eyes were keen, his mind alert.
He knew although these Xue Wei were phantoms and not very strong, their numbers were overwhelming. If not handled carefully, he could fall into a predicament.
"Come on, let me see what you’re capable of!" Xue Feng sneered, the ice sword in his hand glinting coldly, Sword Qi rampant.
A fierce snowstorm swept up, making the figures of Xue Wei clearer, and they let out silent roars, pouncing toward Xue Feng. Xue Wei’s movements were swift like the wind, carrying a piercing chill, each attack like a cold blade, intending to tear Xue Feng apart.
Xue Feng stomped his foot, disappearing instantly and appearing in mid-air. His ice sword slashed, sword qi as a rainbow, transforming into Ice Blades, stabbing straight at those Xue Wei.
Where the Ice Blades went, Xue Wei’s figures were instantly sliced into countless ice shards, scattered in the wind and snow.
However, the number of Xue Wei was just too many, and even if defeated, new phantoms quickly emerged, coming at Xue Feng again. Xue Feng snorted coldly, the ice element in his body quickly condensing, forming an Ice Shield around him.
Xue Wei’s attacks hit the Ice Shield, making a series of ear-piercing collision sounds, but unable to break through its defense.
Xue Feng flipped in the air, the ice sword drawing an arc, the sword qi sweeping like a snowstorm. Under its impact, Xue Wei fell, turning into ice shards.
Yet, new Xue Wei continually emerged like tides surging toward Xue Feng again.
"Xue Feng, today is the day you meet your demise!" laughed a Xue Wei Leader coldly, its voice icy sharp, filled with endless killing intent.
Its figure in the snowfield grew exceptionally large, swinging a massive Ice Blade at Xue Feng.
Xue Feng’s eyes narrowed, the ice elements rapidly condensing within him, the ice sword glowing fiercely. He gripped the sword with both hands, leaping towards the enormous Ice Blade.
"Frost Burst!" he called out softly, the ice sword shrouded in destructive coldness, chopping toward the Xue Wei Leader’s Ice Blade.
The Ice Blade and ice sword collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening explosion sound.
The Power of the Cold Ice spread widely, instantly freezing the surrounding snowflakes. The forces of Xue Feng and the Xue Wei Leader collided intensely in the air, forming a powerful shockwave that pushed back the surrounding Xue Wei.
Yet, the Xue Wei Leader did not back down; it roared, its ice elements rapidly condensing within it, forming a tremendous Ice Shield, blocking Xue Feng’s attack.
The Ice Shield shimmered with a faint blue light, exuding a bone-chilling cold.
"Petty Xue Wei dares to be arrogant in front of me!" Xue Feng sneered, the ice sword waving again, sword qi sweeping like a fierce snowstorm. The Power of Frost spread instantly, enveloping all surrounding Xue Wei.
Under the power of frost, the Xue Wei turned into ice sculptures, then shattered into countless ice shards under the impact of sword qi.
Despite this, Xue Wei continued to appear, seemingly endless.
Xue Feng knew that mere defense couldn’t completely resolve these phantoms. He had to find their source and utterly destroy it.
"It seems delays are no longer tolerable." Xue Feng thought, swiftly retracting the Ice Shield, the ice elements in his body rapidly condensed, forming a powerful cold current.
His eyes were as sharp as Ice Blades, fixed on the continually appearing Xue Wei, moving like a ghost swiftly through them, each sword strike taking the lives of several Xue Wei.
Suddenly, Xue Feng felt a strange Energy Fluctuation, vaguely perceiving something different at the center of the snowfield. The Xue Wei there were especially dense, seemingly concealing some secret.
"Found it!" A cold light flashed in Xue Feng’s eyes; his figure, like lightning, darted toward that region.
The Xue Wei sensed his intent and blocked his path, attempting to stop his advance.
Xue Feng snorted coldly, swinging the ice sword, sword qi like a snowstorm, quickly annihilating the Xue Wei blocking him.
He swiftly approached the area and indeed found a piece of ice-blue Crystal Stone there, emitting strong Energy Fluctuation—the source of these Xue Wei.
"So it’s you causing trouble!" Xue Feng sneered, raising the ice sword, the ice elements within him rapidly condensing, forming a strong Power of Frost. He chopped down fiercely, the ice sword enveloped in destructive coldness, stabbing right into the Crystal Stone.
The Crystal Stone shrieked piercingly under the impact of the ice sword, then quickly cracked, shattering into countless ice shards. With the destruction of the Crystal Stone, the surrounding Xue Wei instantly lost their energy support and transformed into snowflakes.
Soon, the surrounding scene began to change from the icy snowland appearance.
In an instant, the ice and snow swiftly melted away, as if someone intentionally manipulated everything.
After the scenery had completely melted away, a white light suddenly pierced into Xue Feng’s eyes.
Stung by the light, Xue Feng shut his eyes tightly.
When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at a different location.
This place was beneath the seabed they had visited before, seemingly a cavern below the seabed.
"No, I must hurry and find Little Girl Xiaoxiao!"
Xue Feng looked around the cave, a very small cave that seemed to hold only three people.
Other than himself, the cave was empty.
With his thoughts sorted, Xue Feng quickly lifted his foot to head outside.
Upon exiting and seeing the scene before him, he was immediately stunned.
He found himself in a huge pit, the rock walls around it cluttered densely with caves.
Xue Feng happened to be standing inside one of the caves...
