Chapter 2231: Chapter 2228: Ice Venerate Technique

"Twenty-eight thousand cultivation levels."

Xiao Yi looked at the person in front of him and instantly discerned their cultivation.

At the Saint Sovereign Realm level, one’s perception can only roughly gauge a martial artist’s cultivation.

At this level, the number of martial arts a martial artist controls internally is already quite substantial.

Only the means of a Saint Sovereign Realm martial artist, resonating with heaven and earth, can precisely discern the other’s cultivation in a situation where the gap isn’t significant.

"Xiao Yi, you are qualified to make me take action." Bing Man, dressed all in white, had a handsome face beneath which was a terrifyingly cold aura.

Compared to Nangong Ming’s arrogance, Bing Man was much more composed.

"However, I am very curious."

"With your mere nineteen thousand cultivation levels, I have almost suppressed you by ten thousand levels."

"You should know, beyond the Saint Sovereign Realm, even a difference of a thousand levels is almost entirely a crushing gap."

"With such a huge gap between us now, to what extent can you push me?"

Bing Man’s voice was cold.

In his tone, there was not a hint of teasing, mockery, or arrogance, etc.

All that was present was coldness, as if he was indifferently talking about the most commonplace matters.

This person, in everyday life, must be someone as if an ice mountain, rarely smiling, and never showing any other expression, a cold-hearted person.

He did not, like Nangong Ming before, plainly state how long it would take to defeat Xiao Yi.

Instead, he spoke of to what extent Xiao Yi could push him.

Seemingly devoid of arrogance, in fact, this statement was a hundred times more arrogant than Nangong Ming before.

The meaning being, whether Xiao Yi could even compel him to use his full strength was in question.

"Ha." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi just gave a faint smile.

"I find the people of the Ice Emperor Palace speak quite interestingly."

"What do you mean?" Bing Man slightly frowned.

Xiao Yi shrugged, "Whatever you understand, that’s what it means."

"Make your move, I’m not interested in wasting time."

"For the first time, I feel pressured from you."

Yes, pressure.

Xiao Yi, a seasoned warrior, had an extremely accurate martial artist’s intuition.

The Bing Man before him was the only one among the Eight Venerable Envoys capable of exerting pressure on him.

Previously, Nangong Ming seemed to suppress Xiao Yi for two hours.

But from Xiao Yi’s ease of maneuver, it was clear that was not suppression at all.

The entire battle situation was entirely under Xiao Yi’s control.

As for the second-ranked Eight Venerable Envoys member, Xia Yiming, though not in action, he too made Xiao Yi feel a bit pressured.

However, since this person hadn’t acted, Xiao Yi couldn’t claim to have a hundred percent accurate judgment.

Now, this Bing Man, standing truthfully ten meters before Xiao Yi, the sense of pressure was unmistakably clear.

Of course, the so-called pressure was just under Xiao Yi’s current state.

In other words, if placed at the same level, without employing any tactics or trump cards, this young prodigy would be by no means inferior to himself.

This is a truly formidable opponent who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Yi.

For the first time, battle intent erupted on Xiao Yi’s face.

"Only pressure, ha." Bing Man smiled coldly.

"As you said, I don’t want to waste time either."

Swoosh... Bing Man’s figure instantly disappeared from where he stood.

In Bing Man’s hands, there was no blade or sword, no rod or axe, no weapon at all.

This person was a Palms Dao martial artist.

Bing Man’s palms surged forth, icy cold emanating within.

"Ice Emperor Palm?" Xiao Yi chuckled, as the sword in his hand once again condensed with primordial power.

He had seen this palm technique before.

Back in the Four-direction Domain, during his battle with Bing Yu, this was Bing Yu’s strongest martial technique.

Boom...

As sword and palm met, an explosive sound erupted without a doubt.

Xiao Yi’s sword was unparalleled in sharpness.

But Bing Man, with bare palms, resisted without the slightest damage.

Instead, it was Xiao Yi’s sword that shuddered.

The strength of Bing Man’s palm was astonishing, with just one palm, showcasing power not inferior to when Nangong Ming used the Mingluo Saber Technique before.

Whoosh...

Meanwhile, the cold air on Bing Man’s dual hands howled incessantly.

In a mere instant, Xiao Yi’s sword was quickly ice-sealed.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s expression showed a slight surprise.

Initially, he thought this palm at most equaled Nangong Ming utilizing the Mingluo Saber Technique.

Unexpectedly, it wasn’t just about equal, it completely surpassed.

Crack...

The ice-sealed sword, under the palm power of Bing Man, shattered directly.

The shattered sword did not disperse but turned into ice shards, dropping to the ground.

Xiao Yi’s heart was shocked once more.

He could ascertain, regardless if the sword in his hand was merely primordial power condensed, even if he held a real sharp sword, it would still be instantly ice-sealed and shattered.

Iron and steel, instantly turned to powder.

Bing Man’s palm was extremely strong.

Xiao Yi stepped back, the sword in his hand once again condensed.

Bing Man, however, did not make another move, instead he stayed where he was, slightly frowning.

"What is it?" Xiao Yi asked curiously.

Bing Man replied coldly, "A meaningless battle, I don’t want to fight."

"With just my Ice Emperor Palm, at most, I could tangle with you."

Indeed, with just that one palm, Bing Man was already invincible at the peak of the Second Layer of the Saint Sovereign Realm, which was on par with Xiao Yi’s level.

But a clash at the same level would only lead to a deadlock.

Even if he could suppress Xiao Yi, the result would be exactly the same as the two-hour fight with Nangong Ming before.

"And then?" Xiao Yi asked with a light smile.

Bing Man replied coldly, "If you have no other skills."

"I choose to end this fight quickly."

As the words fell.

Boom...

A surge of aura erupted from Bing Man.

The aura on Bing Man’s body rapidly amplified at a speed visible to the eye.

The strength of Bing Man’s aura leaped directly from twenty-eight thousand of the Second Layer of the Saint Sovereign Realm to the Third Layer.

And then, the growth of the aura continued to sharply rise.

Thirty thousand level, thirty-one thousand level, thirty-two thousand level...

No, such a startling rise was not simply an amplification, it was more akin to a doubling increase.

"A secret technique?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

To leap a minor realm within the Saint Sovereign Realm’s context and continually gain bursts of augmentation.

Such a secret technique is undoubtedly extremely powerful.

The reason Xiao Yi frowned was because he suddenly found the increase in Bing Man’s aura to be somewhat familiar.

"Ice Venerate Sacred Pattern Technique?" Xiao Yi was suddenly astonished, finally recognizing it.

On the chief platform.

Guardian Bing’s previously somber face finally broke into a smile.

Guardian Nangong too smiled, "It has appeared, the Ice Venerate Technique."

Guardian Bing nodded, "The Ice Venerate Technique, a fortuitous encounter gained by Man’er six months ago in the Ice Emperor Palace’s fourth level."

Guardian Nangong showed a face full of envy, "The Ice Venerate Technique was the Grandmaster’s famous cultivation technique and skill, the most important inheritance from the Grandmaster’s hands."

"In the past, even the three founders of the Ice Palace couldn’t inherit it from the Grandmaster."

"In terms of level, the Ice Venerate Technique is even more powerful and important than Ming’er’s Mingluo Swordsmanship."

Guardian Nangong shook his head, "It seems my Nangong Family’s younger generation is destined to be no match for your Bing Family this generation."

Guardian Bing chuckled, "Being part of the Ice Emperor Palace, there’s nothing to be unmatched."

"The Nangong Family and our Bing Family have always shared common roots, unlike some who forget their roots, biting the hand that feeds them."

Saying this, Guardian Bing glanced inconspicuously at Xia Yifeng.

Xia Yifeng still wore a faint smile, without speaking.

Upon the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brow again; no wonder Bing Man’s aura was increasing exponentially, it was indeed the Ice Venerate Sacred Pattern Technique.

However, in his perception, Bing Man’s Ice Venerate Sacred Pattern Technique seemed to be missing something.
