Chapter 1544: Chapter 1544: Gray Gemstone

He Ao applied slight force, and the ice covering his body suddenly shattered, scattering into countless ice crystals.

On the other side, seeing the chunks of ice falling apart, Andaville was slightly surprised.

However, she did not panic, instead she tilted her gaze and glanced at the ice sword in He Ao’s hand, “Controlling the power of ice has greatly improved your ice resistance. No wonder you still have the strength to talk to me so much. Interesting, that little girl kept causing trouble even after her death,”

Her voice grew cold as she raised her hand, “But now, the wind and snow are my authority.”

The ice sword in He Ao’s hand suddenly trembled, as if wanting to fly out of his palm, towards Andaville.

But in the end, the ice sword did not break free, only quivered once before falling still.

“Interesting, that little girl actually cooperated with you this much, allowing you to tame the power of ice,” Andaville gazed at He Ao, clapped her hands, “Then let me tell you something even more interesting,”

She shrugged, gazing at He Ao, smiling, “Did you remind that little girl to ‘be careful’?”

Upon hearing this, He Ao’s expression darkened slightly.

Andaville seemed to ignore all this and continued to laugh, “She actually avoided my first strike, which was my only strike,”

A faint grey glow arose at her fingertips, “But alas, I happened to gain the ability for a second attack from above.”

She lifted her gaze, her pure white eyes staring at He Ao, smiling, “Do you find it regrettable?”

He Ao calmly looked at her and put away the Golden Compass.

Then instantly, he dashed forward.

Andaville raised her hand, smiling as she watched He Ao.

A guy whose muscles seem to think for him, like an enraged bull, easy to manipulate.

Dense ice along with scattered snowflakes covered around her, carrying a slight biting chill.

This was the area she prepared during the conversation, as soon as anyone entered this area, they’d instantly be cut by ice, shattered into pieces of flesh.

In her view, He Ao had already reached the edge of this area.

In the next moment, she saw He Ao’s body turn suddenly, rushing towards the mountain peak behind her.

In their previous positions, she was above, He Ao below, she was slightly blocking He Ao’s path to the mountain peak.

He Ao had been circling her, seemingly to adjust the attack position, but in fact, their positions had slightly shifted parallel.

He Ao didn’t surpass the positioning, higher than her, but she could no longer quickly block He Ao’s front.

She watched He Ao rushing to the mountain and abruptly raised her hand, “Return!”

Several heavy ice walls rose from the ground, giant hands made of snow lifted from the ice walls, grabbing towards He Ao.

However, He Ao didn’t even glance at the ice walls and giant hands.

He raised his hand and swung a sword.

The dazzling sword light instantly clashed against the ice walls ahead, cutting through them in an instant.

The sword light stirred up flying snow, mingling with the chaotic blizzard, forming a dense snow curtain, which obscured the view.

And He Ao’s body passed through the crevice opened in the ice walls, landing at the innermost side of all the ice walls, before the mountain peak.

As his foot landed, he reached out, grabbing into the gently splashing snowflakes beside him, grabbing onto something within the snow.

Then he retracted his hand, slightly opening it.

Fine chaotic ice crystals slid down from both sides of his palm, revealing a hair tie with a dazzling gemstone wrapped inside.

The gemstone was so beautiful that a single glance could tell of its immeasurable value.

He Ao opened his other hand, in which the Ice and Snow Gem was currently shining with radiant brilliance.

He lifted his head, looking at the mountain peak ahead.

Accompanied by the recent intense shaking, the snow at the top of the mountain slowly slid to the sides.

A camellia buried in the snow, seemingly constructed by ice, emerged among the sliding snow, as if blooming from the ice and snow.

He Ao could feel the familiar aura from this flower.

Belonging to his marked aura.

He had always had a mark left on Kela, sensing her state.

Just now, during the exchange with Andaville, he kept changing his position, using the Ice and Snow Gem in his hand to determine where Kela might be.

Upon seeing the camellia, He Ao made no pause, immediately raised his hand, a transparent bead appeared in his palm, then he reached out to touch the flower.

At this moment, as if some sound at the world’s foundation was pulled.

He Ao’s extended hand nearing the camellia began to quickly ‘pull away’ with this sound.

He was clearly close, yet seemingly retreating. The distance to the flower grew farther and farther.

No, it’s not him retreating, but the ‘space-time’ between him and the camellia was expanding.

At this moment, a face appeared in front of He Ao.

That face had the exact same appearance as Kela but with pure white eyes.

She gazed at He Ao, a grey gemstone suspended at her chest.

A powerful attraction emanated from the gemstone, in this instant, He Ao’s entire body was agitated, frantically driving him to seize that gemstone.

Yet He Ao’s expression showed no changes, he raised the ice sword in his hand, directly slashing towards Andaville.

However, this sword strike found no target.

When the blade was about to touch Andaville, the ‘space-time’ between the sword blade and Andaville’s body expanded instantly, creating a sword’s distance, leaving He Ao’s attack empty.

Andaville had just utilized the power of wind and snow, akin to Kela’s.

From her ‘imitation,’ she seems to want to replace Kela, to grasp this power.

However, Kela has never shown this ability to unfold time and space, which also doesn’t align with the authority of the snowstorm.

His gaze swept over the gray gem on Andaville’s chest.

“Little one, I admit you’re a bit clever,” Andaville smiled as she gazed at He Ao, “but your attack is meaningless.”

He Ao lifted his head, his gaze traversing through Andaville’s body, looking towards the Ice Mountain Tea Flower on the peak.

The brilliance on the petals was rapidly dimming at a speed visible to his meat eyes.

And in the sensing of the mark, Kela’s thoughts and soul were also swiftly growing silent.

If Andaville could kill Kela, she would certainly act directly. Now, as Kela still retains this camellia form, likely Andaville is unable to kill Kela, or rather, unable to kill Kela in one blow, to completely seize authority.

The ‘transfer’ of authority is a ‘gradual’ process.

She seems only able to suppress Kela, gradually taking away Kela’s authority and obliterating her life.

But at this moment, in He Ao’s perception, the attached mark gradually showed a tendency to detach.

Only when someone dies, does the mark automatically detach.

The transfer of ‘authority’ has entered its final moments.

He Ao looked at Andaville in front of him, directly raised his hand, and stepped forward.

Andaville smiled, opening her hands, and a dense ice power spread around.

However, before He Ao’s body could approach her, he suddenly flickered for a moment, then directly disappeared before her.

But seeing this, Andaville merely curved a smile at the corner of her mouth, her body also instantly disappeared.

The next moment, He Ao appeared at the left front, and Andaville also appeared at the left front, right in He Ao’s path.

He Ao was just about to leave when he suddenly felt a chill in his body, surrounded by a mist of ice crystals that he wasn’t sure when had appeared.

He just happened to rush into this ice crystal array, these closing ice crystals instantly grazed his body, leaving trails of blood on him.

But the next moment, He Ao broke through this ice crystal region, disappearing from the spot.

He appeared at the right front.

But this time, Andaville’s body still appeared almost simultaneously in front of him, while the surroundings, as if anticipated, were filled with ice crystals.

This time, his body was once again covered in fine wounds.

The next moment, He Ao disappeared again.

This time, after a brief pause, when he reappeared, the Eye of Truth also appeared above him.

And this time, Andaville seemed to even appear a bit earlier at the location he was about to reach.

And the surroundings were still densely packed with ice crystals, even more than the previous times.

These ice crystals instantly passed through his body, causing numerous wounds.

After going back and forth three times, his body was covered in countless wounds, with blood continuously seeping out.

These ice crystals carried a trace of piercing cold.

Knowing about He Ao’s ice resistance, it was apparent Andaville increased the dosage, applying physical attacks with added spell damage.

This cold continuously tore at He Ao’s body, preventing these wounds from healing, simultaneously damaging He Ao’s body and soul.

However, He Ao didn’t have time to focus on these at the moment. As he flashed to the side, he lifted the ice sword in his hand, suddenly thrusting it forward.

This time, his sword thrust was extremely fast.

But it felt as if the space in front of Andaville unfolded instantly the moment He Ao thrust his sword.

He Ao’s sword tip finally stopped in front of Andaville, less than a centimeter away from her body, yet still not touching her at all.

Unexpectedly, the previous punch was the only effective output.

He Ao smiled wryly in his heart as he looked up at the gray gem on Andaville’s chest, his body disappearing once again.

And Andaville’s body also instantly disappeared, even vanishing a bit earlier than him. The source of this content ɪs novel•fire.net

And this time, He Ao appeared almost instantly at the left front.

Andaville also simultaneously appeared in front of He Ao.

The pervasive ice crystals were already waiting at the spot He Ao appeared.

Generated the moment he crashed in, catching him off guard.

The multitudes of stacked damage already caused He Ao’s life and stamina to deplete rapidly.

Although these ice crystals had low damage due to the short preparation time, the small, continuous bleeding damage was enough to drain He Ao alive if accumulated enough.

At this moment, He Ao gazed at Andaville in front of him, no longer continuing to move.

His ‘flicker’ was essentially just an extreme movement technique, which inherently had movement routes.

The Andaville in front of him was definitely slower than he was, but the opponent could directly shorten space and speed up.

But that was still not sufficient to block He Ao every time accurately and precisely amidst changes.

Andaville’s actions were actually faster than He Ao’s.

At this point, He Ao had already realized.

Andaville was blocking him not by chasing, but by waiting in advance at the destination.

However, before He Ao finally stopped, he couldn’t be sure of where exactly he would land.

Then the answer was clear.

He Ao’s gaze fell on the radiant gray gem.

This gem possessed some kind of ‘premonition’ ability.
