"Du Bai Zhi, why do you drag us into your battle with Li Yi? I have no quarrel with you."
Evolvers of the Spirit Power Realm are now startled and enraged, rushing out of the Cultivation House.
"What does it matter to me if you got dragged in? You deserve to die." Du Bai Zhi is utterly indifferent to the lives of others.
The evolvers of the Spirit Power Realm have no time to argue; they are shocked and angry, eager to escape the area affected by the battle. However, when exposed to the moonlight, their bodies are instantly covered in ice.
And not just the body, even the soul is affected at this moment, as if frozen stiff, making the Spiritual Power unable to flow freely, causing them to stagger and fall from mid-air.
Yet, when hitting the ground, that evolver of the Spirit Power Realm transforms into an ice sculpture, fully frozen, their life and death unclear, but the outlook is grim.
Several evolvers end up in this condition, frozen into ice sculptures, while others react quickly and flee the range covered by the moonlight, though at a significant cost; some have lost arms, others legs, resulting in various degrees of impairment.
Thankfully, the Golden Academy now has Life Repair Cabins, allowing these impaired limbs to regrow.
However, while the body can regrow, the harm done to the soul cannot easily heal.
"Du Bai Zhi, this lunatic, Li Yi was right; she should have been sent to another world. Keeping her at the Golden Academy only brings disaster." Many witnessing this scene are indignant, yet they can do nothing about it.
Facing the astonishing cold, Li Yi is very cautious. The Heart Fire Qi contained in his twelve acupoints surges upward, transforming into Red Cloud Qi that envelops him, becoming like a scorching furnace resisting the dreadful attack while quickly melting the ice encasing him.
Du Bai Zhi points a finger toward the sky, and beams of white light cascade down from the full moon above.
These white beams instantly envelop Li Yi.
In an instant, his twelve streams of Heart Fire are suppressed, flickering like candles in the wind, ready to be snuffed out at any moment.
"Afraid of you? No way."
Li Yi shouts, channeling the Heart Fire Qi, then opens his mouth: "Call Wind!"
Top-tier Daoist Skill is unleashed, stirring up a terrifying whirlwind that lifts the snow everywhere, along with flames aiming to melt everything before him, directing this force towards Du Bai Zhi.
Yet, her power is indeed extraordinary, as the sweeping flames visibly extinguish at a rapid pace, vanishing almost entirely in the blink of an eye.
But the whirlwind remains.
This whirlwind can still scatter one’s concentration and extinguish one’s soul.
"It seems you have some ability, but it won’t change your fate today."
Du Bai Zhi waves her hand, condensing the cold around her into translucent ice walls, blocking the force of the whirlwind.
The all-penetrating Wind Summoning Technique did not harm her in the slightest.
Du Bai Zhi then reaches out, a beam of white light forms in her hand, transforming into a treasure sword she grips tightly, resembling a crescent moon, endowed with terrifying power under certain influences.
She raises her hand and swings.
The ice walls shatter instantaneously, and deadly cold light reaches Li Yi.
"Such a swift attack."
Li Yi’s eyes narrow suddenly, and he lets out a long howl before channeling Divine Power, punching out to fend off the strike.
A tremendous explosion echoes throughout the icy land; this attack is stopped by Li Yi, but his arm bears a vicious wound, though no blood flows since the wound is ice-sealed by a strange power, and even his soul has suffered a certain degree of harm.
Thankfully, his soul is strong enough to withstand an attack, feeling pain but still manageable.
"Not only can it hurt the flesh, it can also wound the soul?" Li Yi mused silently.
But as soon as this thought emerged.
Du Bai Zhi appeared by his side, her long leg strikes like a Divine Weapon, white light intertwining over it.
Instinctively, he swings a fist to face the enemy.
Yet it’s slightly too late.
He senses a power akin to shaking the sun and moon exploding forth; it’s hard to believe that Du Bai Zhi’s seemingly frail body harbors such immense strength, almost inhuman.
Li Yi flies out like a cannonball, smashing onto the ice-covered ground. Even with his astounding physique, the impact forces him to spit blood.
Du Bai Zhi’s cold killing intent strikes again; she gives Li Yi no respite, swiftly closing in, and lands a kick.
Li Yi raises his hand to block.
He immediately feels as if hit by a mountain, the force is horrifying; were it not for his cultivation of Dragon and Tiger Power, with an incredible physique, he would likely have been kicked to death, unable to survive.
The ice-covered ground cracks like a spider web.
Du Bai Zhi stands tall, seemingly pressing Li Yi beneath her foot, displaying an extremely arrogant expression: "Your strength is nothing; your spells are inferior to mine, your power insufficient, and no one will help you today, so accept your fate and die by my hand."
"Accept fate? By you?" Li Yi eyes her with blazing intensity: "Occupying an inhuman body and you’re flaunting it."
Du Bai Zhi’s face changes slightly upon his words: "You actually know."
"Enough talk, fight again."
Li Yi roars, surrounded by silver lightning, a mighty tiger leaps from behind him, while in front of him, golden flames manifest, swiftly transforming into a gigantic dragon, shaking its wings.
The Dragon Tiger Divine Power fully erupts, freeing Li Yi from Du Bai Zhi’s restraint, and he rises abruptly, delivering a punch.
Fist Intent explodes at this moment.
In a trance, a Vajra Buddha subduing dragons and suppressing tigers appears, eyes blazing, destroying all before it with Mighty Divine Power.
Du Bai Zhi’s mind falters for a moment.
By the time she regains focus, Li Yi’s punch and kick have struck her.
Dragon roars, tiger roars, fist intent like a Vajra.
This punch seems to shatter the heavens and earth, with Du Bai Zhi being directly blasted away.
