Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

Wei Yixiao's figure suddenly accelerated, like a black lightning bolt, and instantly pounced towards Su Xin. His palm swung, and a layer of white frost appeared on his palm, carrying a bone-chilling cold. It was his signature move, the Frosty Palm, with the palm wind carrying a fierce cold air, aimed straight at Su Xin's back.

Su Xin was prepared. He shifted his body to the side, dodging the attack, while simultaneously gathering a powerful Vajra Force at his fingertips. He then pointed out with his backhand, unleashing the Mighty Vajra Finger. The force of his finger was sharp and unstoppable, colliding with the cold air of the Frosty Palm and producing a faint "sizzling" sound, while also creating bursts of white mist.

Upon seeing this, Wei Yixiao felt a chill run down his spine and dared not take the fierce finger strike head-on. He quickly dodged away.

But he didn't give up. Taking advantage of Su Xin's unsteady stance, he changed direction and condensed cold energy in his palm again. He silently unleashed the Frosty Palm, which was gentle but contained hidden killing intent, and attacked Ji Xiaofu, who was standing to the side. He wanted to take down Ji Xiaofu first and use her to threaten Su Xin.

Although Ji Xiaofu was terrified, she also possessed the backbone of an Emei disciple. Upon seeing this, she suddenly drew her Yitian Sword, its blade flashing with cold light, and slashed towards Wei Yixiao's withered hands.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword could cut through iron like mud, its sharpness was unparalleled. Wei Yixiao was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He quickly withdrew his hand and took a few steps back. The playful smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by deep fear.

He realized then that he had underestimated the two men.

One possesses powerful and sharp finger strength, while the other wields the Heaven-Slaying Sword, capable of cutting through iron like mud. This combination is one he simply cannot afford to offend.

But Wei Yixiao was not willing to give up so easily, and after a moment he thought of another plan.

He no longer launched a direct attack, but instead moved elusively, constantly circling around the two of them.

He would occasionally condense a cold energy in his palm, and his Frosty Palm would move sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes solid and sometimes illusory, launching a sneak attack every now and then. Wherever his palm wind passed, a thin layer of frost would appear on the ground, trying to wear down Su Xin and Ji Xiaofu's physical strength.

At the same time, he used his cold energy to erode the meridians of the two men, and when they were exhausted, he took them down in one fell swoop.

In the blink of an eye, the chase had lasted for two hours.

The Green-Winged Bat King, Wei Yixiao, remained incredibly patient, his figure always following closely behind the two, neither too close nor too far, showing no sign of impatience whatsoever. Clearly, he was determined to wear them down until they were exhausted.

As Su Xin fled with Ji Xiaofu, he felt the temperature around him gradually dropping. The cold wind, carrying snowflakes, blew against his face, stinging him to the bone. Yet, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, a hint of triumphant smile flashing in his eyes.

He stopped, turned around, and shouted in Wei Yixiao's direction, "Wei Yixiao, come over here if you dare! Don't cower like a turtle, pretending to be tough!"

Upon seeing this, Ji Xiaofu's expression changed drastically, her heart sank, and she instinctively grabbed Su Xin's sleeve, but immediately covered her mouth.

She was filled with anxiety, feeling that Su Xin had lost his sense of proportion due to being chased so hard, and that his provocation of Wei Yixiao was undoubtedly courting death.

Su Xin, however, remained unfazed, continuing his sarcastic remarks while gazing mockingly at the distant shadowy figure. His tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "What? Too scared to come closer? Are you afraid of me?"

Wei Yixiao, who was some distance away, paused and landed on a boulder. He looked at Su Xin with a deep gaze, but did not immediately step forward or utter a rebuttal.

In his view, Su Xin's provocation was clearly a sign of his guilty conscience.

If you really have the confidence, why put on such a show?

He secretly calculated in his heart:

This kid is probably exhausted of his internal energy and has nowhere else to turn, so he's using this kind of bluff to try and force me to retreat or buy me time.

In this way, he was even less willing to give up. If he could just hold out a little longer, Su Xin would definitely collapse completely. At that time, the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the lives of the two of them would be at his mercy.

Wei Yixiao's face gradually revealed a smug look as he realized the trick had been exposed. He raised his voice and replied, "Just keep pretending! I bet you don't have much internal energy left. You won't last much longer!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xin's eyes flickered slightly. He deliberately feigned a lack of confidence, but still maintained a composed demeanor, shouting at Wei Yixiao, "Since you don't believe me, then come and try! Let's see if I can beat you to a pulp!"

These words only confirmed Wei Yixiao's suspicions.

If Su Xin truly possessed strength, he wouldn't need to feign composure like this.

Wei Yixiao became increasingly certain that Su Xin was bluffing, and that if he persisted a little longer, he would surely be able to take him down.

Ji Xiaofu, standing to the side, grew increasingly pale. She couldn't understand Su Xin's thoughts, assuming he was truly exhausted of internal energy but was still forcing himself to keep going. Her heart was filled with panic and self-blame.

It's all my fault, I've ruined Young Master Su's life!

If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have had to get involved in this conflict, let alone be chased all the way here by Wei Yixiao.

Su Xin glanced at Ji Xiaofu's flustered appearance, then stopped provoking her. He grabbed her wrist, turned around, and continued to run forward.

Ji Xiaofu couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. While running after Su Xin, she said urgently, "Young Master Su, I'll buy you some time. Find an opportunity to run! You've already kept your promise to Master. It's just that the Green Winged Bat King's lightness skill is too amazing. Even if you escape, I believe Master won't blame you!"

Su Xin turned to look at Wei Yixiao, who was still following in the distance, and gently shook his head, his tone firm: "Don't worry, I won't abandon you, and I won't lose to him." After saying that, he pushed off with his feet, carrying Ji Xiaofu, and sped up again, heading towards the depths of the Great Snow Mountain.

Wei Yixiao, watching the two fleeing figures from afar, wore a smug smile and continued to follow from a distance. At this moment, he was filled with the joy of the Heaven-Slaying Sword that was about to be obtained and the joy of victory. He had no time to care about the increasingly low temperature around him, nor did he notice that the cold air in the air was gradually eroding his meridians.

He had only one thought in his mind: This kid is about to be caught. It's finally time for me to reap the rewards. I can't let all my efforts go to waste!

What he didn't know was that the moment his greed arose, he had already fallen into the trap that Su Xin had carefully laid.

The cold air of the Great Snow Mountain was the nemesis of the cold poison in his body. If he continued to suffer like this, he would be the first to give up.

As the two ventured deeper into the snow-covered mountains, the temperature plummeted and the wind grew fiercer. Su Xin, feeling the chill around him, thought to himself:

That's about enough. If it gets any colder, and Wei Yixiao realizes something's wrong and turns to run away, then all our efforts will be in vain.

He slowed his pace, and taking advantage of Wei Yixiao's inattention, suddenly turned around, condensed his Vajra Force at his fingertips, and launched a sneak attack on Wei Yixiao.

Wei Yixiao was taken aback at first, then a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

It seems this kid really can't hold on any longer and is starting to fight to the death.
