Chapter 2232: Chapter 2229: Pseudo Demon State

Bang...

As Xiao Yi pondered, a pair of icy cold palms were already attacking.

Xiao Yi reacted extremely quickly, using his sword to block.

The Ice Barbarian’s palm was just as fast, even much faster than Xiao Yi’s.

In such a situation, before the Ice Barbarian’s palm arrived, the pressure and momentum from the palm wind had already struck first.

At this moment, Xiao Yi had just barely raised his sword.

Crack... Bang...

The sound of shattering cracks appeared only once.

The sword in Xiao Yi’s hand, upon merely touching the chilling pressure of the palm wind, instantly developed a crack.

The crack stretched along the entire sword body.

Bang...

The sword in Xiao Yi’s hand shattered instantly.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s pupils shrank slightly, and he hurriedly stepped back.

The current Ice Barbarian was extremely powerful.

Previously, to break Xiao Yi’s Primordial Power Sword, Nangong Ming needed to use the full force of the Mingluo Saber Technique.

The Ice Barbarian had also needed to unleash the Ice Emperor Palm and strike directly on the sword body to shatter the Primordial Power Sword.

But now, the Ice Barbarian could shatter Xiao Yi’s Primordial Power Sword with just his aura.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, the Ice Barbarian hadn’t even used any Martial Technique, just casually struck with a hand as his aura soared.

"Too slow." The Ice Barbarian said coldly, looking at Xiao Yi, who was stepping back.

As soon as the words fell, his figure appeared in front of Xiao Yi.

Both palms struck heavily.

With his sword shattered, Xiao Yi could only retaliate with a palm of his own, meeting the strike head-on.

Their palms collided with two explosive sounds.

The Ice Barbarian stood unmoving, but Xiao Yi was forced back dozens of steps.

This was the first time Xiao Yi had been at a disadvantage since stepping onto the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.

"As expected." Around the arena, faces that seemed to have anticipated this outcome and voices that already knew what would happen.

"The Barbarian Venerable Envoy is indeed formidable, astonishingly powerful, shaking Xiao Yi back with just one clash, taking a significant advantage."

"What is this? Look carefully, the Barbarian Venerable Envoy appears effortlessly relaxed, clearly not using his full strength, while Xiao Yi had already fully exerted himself with that one palm and still was no match."

"The difference between the two is instantly clear."

On the chief stage, Guardian Bing showed a satisfied smile.

Guardian Nangong also nodded, "With the amplification of the Ice Venerate Technique, although the current Ice Barbarian may not match up to the three Great Protectors or the nine elders in terms of strength."

"But compared to the average elder in the palace, he’s not much inferior."

Beneath them, elders arose, cupping their hands. "The Barbarian Venerable Envoy, so young, yet possesses strength not inferior to our old ones, is indeed the first person of Ice Emperor Palace, and it is the fortune of our Ice Emperor Palace."

"Hmm." Guardian Bing sat upright, stroked his white beard, seemingly showing only a faint smile while actually feeling immensely pleased inside.

Who wouldn’t be immensely satisfied with such an outstanding Heavenly Talent emerging from their own home?

On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.

Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang...

The ensuing battle was almost a one-sided crush.

The Ice Barbarian’s figure flashed, both hands continuously striking, palm after palm.

Under such a dense offensive, Xiao Yi didn’t even have the chance to condense another sword, only able to rely on his own bare hands to block.

And the result of this was that Xiao Yi was constantly being pushed back, utterly falling into a passive position.

In the eyes of nearly all the spectators around, if things continued like this, Xiao Yi was surely bound to lose, the only possible outcome.

Only Xia Yifeng still maintained a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Xia Canglan frowned, showing a slight trace of worry on his face.

He knew full well that Xiao Yi without a sword and unable to fight desperately was far weaker, dozens of levels lower than his prime.

On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.

The Ice Barbarian’s palms continued to strike, showing a slight frown on his indifferent face, "If this is all your capability, I won’t waste any more time."

"Rather than pushing you back time and time again until you lose."

"I might as well just send you off the arena directly."

"Ha." Xiao Yi just chuckled lightly.

The Ice Barbarian squinted, "Xiao Yi, use your full strength, I know you’re not as simple as you seem."

"Before we clashed, I already felt pressured by your presence, you’re definitely not this weak."

Xiao Yi chuckled lightly, "Straightforward."

"Although we’ve only been fighting for a minute or two, it’s enough."

Through this brief fight, Xiao Yi had come to realize.

The technique the Ice Barbarian demonstrated was absolutely the Ice Venerate Sacred Pattern Technique.

The traces and essence of martial arts were unmistakable.

This was the reason behind the current spike in the Ice Barbarian’s strength.

However, the Ice Barbarian’s Ice Venerate Sacred Pattern Technique clearly lacked a fundamental mystery, which was the Ice Pattern.

The aura of the Ice Pattern was absent from the Ice Barbarian.

Although uncertain of the reason, by this point, the fight had indeed been sufficient.

Boom...

The aura surrounding Xiao Yi soared in that instant.

Xiao Yi did not condense a sword but simply punched out.

The punch erupted with a roar.

The Ice Barbarian’s continuous palm shadows suddenly dissipated.

With one punch, Xiao Yi easily blocked the Ice Barbarian’s twin palms.

This time, Xiao Yi remained unmoving, while the Ice Barbarian was forced back a step.

"Physical strength, Body Cultivation Dao?" the Ice Barbarian squinted.

"Hmm." In the next second, the Ice Barbarian grunted coldly.

His palms suddenly transformed into fists.

His fists charged straight, like two fierce ice dragons, their power was astounding.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes and also punched with both fists.

Boom...

A thunderous explosion echoed as the two figures clashed, locked in a stalemate.

Yet, the subsequent impact caused the enormous Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena to quiver incessantly.

The surrounding hundred meters under their feet instantly turned into ice shards.

"Forgot to tell you, I’m also a Body Cultivator, proficient in Body and Martial Dual Cultivation." The Ice Barbarian sneered, for the first time showing an astonishing battle intent on his face.

Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom...

For a moment, the entire Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena became the site of their fierce confrontation.

The once incredibly sturdy Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena was suddenly filled with flying ice shards.

The surrounding martial artists watching the fight hurriedly retreated more than a dozen meters from the arena to avoid being affected.

Yet everyone watched with excitement.

This kind of intense, brute-force battle, coming from the hands of two young people, was truly extraordinary.

Only on the chief stage, Guardian Nangong frowned, "What a powerful Body Cultivation Dao, able to fight the Ice Barbarian to a standstill?"

Guardian Bing spoke coldly, "Xiao Yi, as the successor of Asura Hall, is naturally a formidable Body Cultivator."

"Asura Hall is known as the gathering place for Body Cultivation Martial Artists, and is said to possess the world’s strongest Body Cultivation Dao."

"Hmm, I think that title might need revising today."

"The world’s strongest Body Cultivation Dao belongs in Ice Emperor Palace."

"Being able to fight to this extent with Man’er is already impressive for Xiao Yi, but from here on, he won’t have the chance to retaliate."

Indeed.

As Guardian Bing’s words fell, on the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena, the power of the Ice Barbarian’s fists suddenly increased further.

The Ice Barbarian’s gaze changed slightly, his eyes gradually turning red.

That redness wasn’t blood red, but a fearsome, eerie red like a demon’s.

A sinister smile appeared on the Ice Barbarian’s face.

"You’ve lost." The Ice Barbarian punched out.

Boom... This roar sounded as if it were echoing through the heavens.

The Xiao Yi, who had been on par with the Ice Barbarian, was suddenly pushed back a hundred meters, carving a deep ice furrow along the way.

Blood trickled from Xiao Yi’s fists.

For the first time, Xiao Yi’s expression turned to shock, "Impossible, Demonic State?"
