Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 72: Fighting in the Snow (Two in One)

The gap between individual cultivators and disciples of large sects is sometimes even greater than the difference between heaven and earth. What's more, the true teachings of a large sect, taught personally by masters, are another concept altogether.

Among the scattered monks in the snow-capped mountains, Scarface's fire magic is considered quite good. However, in Xu Heng's opinion, it only has huge firepower, but its spirituality and Dharma nature are far from enough, so it can only be regarded as an extremely high temperature "ordinary fire".

Xu Heng has mastered the art of fire escape and can move freely in fire, so he naturally will not be harmed by ordinary fire.

But after getting out of the fire, Xu Heng also found that his mana was greatly depleted. He couldn't help but look up at the other party and thought to himself: "Ningsha monk? Or maybe it should be called Hesha."

Condensing evil and refining the energy cannot be accomplished overnight, but as long as you take this step, at least there will be a qualitative leap in your magic power.

Xu Heng could see that this person had already begun to gather evil spirits, but perhaps his foundation was weak, or his progress was insufficient. Although his magical power was higher than his, he still had a chance to compete.

Although Xu Heng was eager to try, at this critical moment, he would not do anything to test the strength of the Hesha monk.

He put his hands into his sleeves, and a white scale appeared between his fingers.

Scarface was completely unaware, and was in a state of doubt in his heart. He even suppressed the rage in his chest and asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, sir, who are you? Do you really want to interfere in our affairs?"

Xu Heng's heart moved, but he temporarily stopped his action and said calmly: "I am Tianchi Xu Heng, who are you? Not only did you attack me suddenly, but you also came to interrogate me?"

"I would like to ask you, the cold chi of the White Dragon Pond is a spiritual beast raised outside the mountain by a master of our sect. How could you have the courage to plot against it?"

"Tianchi Mountain?" Scarface was startled, but when he heard the name Xu Heng, which was not one of those names passed down by word of mouth, he felt a little more at ease.

However, when he heard Xu Heng's next words, Scarface couldn't help but blurt out, "Bullshit, that Han Chi is clearly from the Qionghua Sect..."

"Qionghua?" Xu Heng narrowed his eyes. He had not expected to make up a story that seemed to have gotten some incredible news. Unfortunately, Scarface suddenly realized what he was saying halfway through, "You thief, you tricked me...?"

He was a hot-tempered person and was immediately furious. He also felt that Xu Hengtian Chishan's identity might be a fabrication, and he immediately wanted to kill him.

But he didn't know that at the same time, Xu Heng realized that there was no point in saying more, so he suddenly gathered his five fingers in his sleeves and crushed the white scale into pieces.

…The wind and snow seemed to stop for a brief moment.

The next moment, a long roar like a dragon's roar suddenly resounded through the mountains.

"Roar--!"

Scarface turned around in shock, only to see that the already strong wind and snow had intensified, occupying all the space in his field of vision.

With his strong eyesight, he could only see a shadow rising into the sky and going straight into the clouds in the wind and snow!
He even felt that the wind and snow seemed to have turned into knives, surging with cold air. He didn't expect that the cold dragon was coming towards him at lightning speed.

But when he turned around, there was no fear on his face, only murderous intent, "So this is what you were planning--"

"To hit a rock with an egg is to seek one's own death!"

Sure enough, the lingering chill suddenly stopped, and then a long moan was heard from the wind and snow, and the next moment!
The snowflakes between the sky and the earth all shook, and there was a loud sound like a storm, sweeping across the mountains in an instant.

Xu Heng's eyelids twitched slightly, and through his superhuman divine sense, he clearly felt a majestic aura appear in the distance and collide with the cold dragon.

The powerful aura of magic disturbed his perception, and there was an unparalleled chill that seemed to invade Xu Heng's brain along with his divine thoughts!

"There is indeed a cultivator behind this..."

This was not unexpected, but why was this aura so powerful that it gave Xu Heng a sense of déjà vu?
This thought flashed through Xu Heng's mind and he had no time to think about it anymore as he suddenly took action.

Han Chi was intercepted by someone. No matter who won or lost, he could not provide support here in a short time. Facing the scarred monk alone became his only option. Xu Heng chose to take action to seize the initiative without any hesitation.

The moment he made the decision, Xu Heng suddenly felt that he had entered a clear state naturally. He even felt more confident than when he was practicing magic.

He took a long breath, then blew it out suddenly. The blazing fire condensed into a line and pierced through the void.

It can be gathered or dispersed, and it operates smoothly. This represents the profound external training realm of the "Bing Flame Wind Technique". Xu Heng did not achieve it when he was practicing, but he displayed it at this moment, and in the blink of an eye he appeared in front of the scarred monk.

He also did not expect Xu Heng to attack so quickly. In a hurry, he clapped his palms suddenly, and the flames around his body gathered in front of him, blocking the path of the Flame Wind Technique.

This was a pure contest between fire mages. Scarface didn't believe that a mere Xuanguan cultivator could defeat him. However, when he thought of the scene of Xu Heng leisurely walking in the garden and walking on fire, he became more alert.

So after doing all this, he still held up a shield in front of him. Sure enough, the next moment, a golden line pierced through the flame and hit the shield, leaving a deep burnt mark on it.

Scarface's face twitched. The shield was not of high quality, but its material was extremely rare. Even a flying sword could hardly hurt it, and it was almost burned through. If this line of fire fell on his body, he would be seriously injured if not killed.

He had not thought that this extra vigilance might have saved a life. He no longer dared to underestimate it and hurriedly raised the flames, preparing to cast a spell. However, the next moment, a feeling of terror arose in his heart.

At this moment, the hairs on his back stood up and he dodged quickly, but he saw a flying sword coming out from the wind and snow, narrowly missing him.

The flying sword is made of underground crystal. It is inherently mysterious and hidden under the cover of wind and snow. It appears and disappears mysteriously. It is so mysterious that it has already come to kill without anyone noticing.

Scarface dodged a sword by relying on the warning of his spiritual thoughts, but the Shadow Sword failed to hit him and disappeared into the wind and snow again. He felt that there seemed to be murderous intentions hidden in all directions, and no matter where he flew, he would feel like a thorn in his back.

Just at this moment, Xu Heng's Flame Wind Technique had turned into a line of fire and attacked again.

Scarface could only block with his shield again, but he didn't expect that this time the fire line would burn a small hole. The remaining power passed through the hole, turned into a flame wind that brushed past his shoulder, and instantly burned half of his upper body black.

He didn't know that the Bing Flame Wind Technique was able to penetrate his flames because of a ray of 'sun power' in Xu Heng's fire technique, which was superior to his ordinary fire, but most of the fire power was still consumed by it.

But now, he only used his shield to block, which was equivalent to resisting the full force of the Flame Wind Technique, and he was seriously injured in an instant and was already in danger.

He could never have imagined that Xu Heng would be so murderous when he moved, and it would not stop! Scarface took the blow, but he did not dare to stop for even a second. He could only grit his teeth and control the fire to rush towards Xu Heng, trying to use attack as defense. But at the same moment, the Shadow Sword suddenly appeared again and rushed towards him.

"Damn it!"

Scarface dodged and avoided the sword, but his magic was inevitably slack. Xu Heng relied on his superior fire escape and his fast speed to easily dodge it, turning into a flame that wandered around his body.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Just a mere Xuan Guang monk..." Scarface kept cursing in his heart, but it was difficult to hide the fear that had arisen deep in his heart.

He didn't understand. He had higher cultivation and magic power than the other party, and he also had some tricks up his sleeve. Why was he overwhelmed by the violent attack and had no power to resist at all?

Are the disciples of big sects really better than others in every way, even in terms of experience in fighting?
"Absolutely not!" Scarface gritted his teeth. He knew that if he continued like this, he would completely fall into the abyss and would no longer have any chance of winning. He had to create a glimmer of opportunity to have a chance of reversing the downward trend.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and under the pressure of the Shadow Sword and the Flame Wind Technique, he seemed to approach the flame that Xu Heng had transformed into inadvertently.

Unexpectedly, this person, either unaware or already confident of victory, did not react at all. Scarface calculated in his mind that the distance was close enough, and suddenly.

He actually relaxed his defense against the Shadow-Transmitting Sword and the Flame Wind Technique, and opened his middle door wide and snapped his fingers towards Xu Heng. Suddenly, a needle shot out from his flesh, and in an instant, it pierced through the void of thirty or forty feet and pierced the flying flame.

At this time, the attacks of the Shadow Sword and the Flame Wind Technique had already been launched, but a golden light suddenly shone on Scarface's body, and turned into a brilliant cloud that surrounded his body, blocking all the attacks.

This was his only means of saving his life, and it was also his reliance on reversing the offensive. He did not feel the slightest bit of pain in using it, but just stared at the needle hitting Xu Heng, with ecstasy in his chest: "It hit!"

Scarface originally just wanted to create an opportunity to change the offense and defense, but he didn't expect that the fire poison needle could actually hit the target.

The fire poison accumulated in this thing was condensed when he was in the state of Fusion of Evil. Any Xuan Guang cultivator trapped in it would surely die, with no possibility of survival!
"Haha...hahahaha!"

No matter how powerful the magic or how many methods a disciple of a big sect has, how can he compare with a casual cultivator like him who has experienced life and death many times?

The ecstasy was no longer contained in his heart, Scarface couldn't help but burst into laughter, but for some reason, he seemed to hear a cold snort in his ears.

The smile on Scarface's face froze slightly.

Wei Yuan seemed to appear in front of his eyes. His condescending attitude, as if he was looking down on a frog in a well, made him feel crazy with hatred.

But in the next moment, he changed into Xu Heng's appearance. There was no contempt in his eyes, but his presence was gone.

……

In a flash, the fire that was hit by the fire poison needle suddenly dissipated. It turned out that it was just an illusion of flame from the beginning to the end, but Xu Heng had already emerged from the wind and snow.

A mysterious light, as if the daylight was shining upwards, shot up into the sky, reaching a height of twenty or thirty feet, as if illuminating the wind and snow all around.

Scarface seemed to be stabbed in the eye, and subconsciously closed his eyes. He only heard a short and urgent voice: "Hit!"

Xu Heng formed a magic seal with his hands and pointed at him from a distance. As if it was an order from the gods, flames intertwined in the air and transformed into Xuan Xiao's Five Flames Hand, which reached down!
The scarred monk didn't have time to resist at all before he was caught in the palm of Xuan Xiao's Five Flames Hand. The clouds around him suddenly shone brightly, but Xuan Xiao's Five Flames Hand clasped its five fingers together and wrapped him up in an instant.

Xu Heng's expression was indifferent, and the mysterious light on his head became even brighter, with no sign of descending, because he was still using all his strength to mobilize his magic power, gathering the power of Xuan Xiao's Five Flames Seal to the center, until it reached a limit, and even faintly lost the shape of a fist, and turned into a huge fireball.

In the sky, it seemed as if a sun that was countless times smaller had risen, emitting heat continuously, melting the wind and snow in the surrounding area, and actually cleared a blank space dozens of feet wide.

It was not until a full quarter of an hour later that the fireball finally trembled slightly, finally refining the cloud and burning the scarred monk into ashes.

"Huh..." Xu Heng let out a breath, and unexpectedly felt a little relaxed all over.

Although he had the upper hand in this battle from beginning to end, the opponent's magical power was actually higher. Once given the opportunity, he might be able to switch between offense and defense.

Therefore, once Xu Heng launched an attack, he did not dare to relax, and he had to crush the opponent to death with his continuous offensive.

Now it seems that this choice could not be more correct.

He killed the scarred monk in one fell swoop, and his magic power had been almost exhausted. If he had fought for dozens more rounds before, even if he had seized the opportunity, he might not have been able to secure victory.

Xu Heng thought about it carefully. He had never experienced many battles since he started practicing, and yet every time it was a life-and-death fight. If his mind was not unusually clear at this time, he might not have been able to win every time.

Once upon a time, someone said that Xu Heng might have extraordinary talent in fighting, and now it seems to be true.

Xu Heng slowly circulated his magic power and took back Xuan Xiao's Five Flames Seal. Suddenly, he found that there was still something left in the flames that had not turned into ashes.

Xu Heng took the object in his hand and found that it was actually a small piece of gold and iron, only the size of his little finger. It was very pure in nature and seemed to carry some star power.

"Could it be some kind of meteorite iron?" Xu Heng thought of Scarface's shield and felt more certain.

I didn't expect that he actually had a treasure. However, it was a waste of resources to use such a small amount of meteorite iron to make such a large shield. No wonder even Xu Heng's magic couldn't resist it.

Xu Heng shook his head and put the meteorite into his pocket, but he couldn't help but look back at the mountain.

His fight with the scarred monk could barely be described as dangerous, but the fight between Han Chi and the Lian Gang monk was a truly vicious one. Even at this moment, there were still huge fluctuations coming from the monks, which showed how fierce the battle was.

Xu Heng frowned slightly. In fact, he had already helped Han Chi a lot by killing the scarred monk. It would undoubtedly be a wise move if he could take the opportunity to leave. It would be even better if he could ask for help in time.

But the reality is that he doesn't have much magic power left, and he's not sure he can break through the mountain-sealing formation.

Find a place to recover mana first? But by that time, Han Chi and the Lian Gang monk would probably have already decided the winner. If Han Chi won, it would be great, but if the other party won...

Xu Heng stood in the air with his eyes slightly closed. He thought quietly for a moment, then turned around and rushed into the snowstorm.
