Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289

Two indestructible weapons intertwined, and ice shards scattered, even splashing onto the faces of Ye Tian and Elder Xi Feng, forcing both to close their eyes to avoid getting hurt.

As their eyes shut, Elder Xi Feng couldn’t attack Ye Tian, but it was different for Ye Tian; he had long been accustomed to striking blindly at unseen enemies...

Ye Tian’s wrist flicked slightly, and the wooden sword slipped from his hand. Elder Xi Feng, planning to use his strength advantage to inflict severe damage on Ye Tian, suddenly found himself striking air.

"What the hell did you do..."

Elder Xi Feng looked astonished, immediately opening his eyes, only to find Ye Tian was no longer in front of him.

Just as Elder Xi Feng pondered on Ye Tian’s whereabouts, a sharp pain erupted from behind—Ye Tian had seized the opportunity when Elder Xi Feng paused, circling behind him and delivering a heavy strike!

Fortunately, Elder Xi Feng’s Inner Strength was strong, and his body was protected by a thick layer of ice armor. Therefore, Ye Tian’s attack could only cause pain but didn’t harm Elder Xi Feng at all...

"To think you’d resort to such tactics, Ye Tian, you’re audacious!"

Though Ye Tian’s attack wasn’t enough to injure, it was unacceptable for Elder Xi Feng to be hit in combat with Ye Tian. So, Elder Xi Feng immediately opened his eyes, swung his hand fiercely, and aimed a palm strike at Ye Tian behind him.

The palm strike was extremely swift, giving Ye Tian no time to evade, forcing him to dodge on instinct. Still, Ye Tian was hit on the shoulder blade.

A loud thud followed as Ye Tian’s shoulder dislocated, yet he merely smirked.

Elder Xi Feng’s face showed bewilderment. How could this guy still smile after taking his heavy palm strike? Official source is NoveI★Fire.net

It was this unexpected reaction that made Elder Xi Feng slightly more alert, sharpening his senses.

A chilly sensation from above made Elder Xi Feng look up instinctively!

His glance revealed Ye Tian’s Life Weapon, falling from above, aimed straight at his Baihui acupoint!

Elder Xi Feng cursed, using all his strength to dodge.

Thanks to his timely evasion, the wooden sword’s attack missed, but the weapon was indestructible, so even though Elder Xi Feng anticipated and swiftly dodged, he couldn’t escape unscathed.

A "slash!" sound echoed as the wooden sword grazed Elder Xi Feng’s back, cutting a line!

Elder Xi Feng had to step back, putting distance between him and Ye Tian, quickly sealing acupuncture points to stem the bleeding.

Though Ye Tian had slight upper hand, he didn’t dare to charge forward; instead, he quietly channeled energy, reset his dislocated shoulder.

Facing each other, Ye Tian and Elder Xi Feng knew the battle ahead would be brutal and bloody!

This was no longer a courteous exchange; their contest was bound to bear injuries, possibly even death. Any lapse could lead to severe consequences!

For now, Ye Tian had to abandon the Life Weapon, as Elder Xi Feng’s Extreme Cold Blade could infiltrate cold into the wooden sword, making it increasingly sluggish...

Luckily, the wooden sword had its own consciousness and could attack autonomously; even without Ye Tian wielding it, it could strike Elder Xi Feng.

The previous strike illustrated this. As weapons clashed with Elder Xi Feng, a sudden release forced a moment’s hesitation, allowing Ye Tian the chance to sneak attack from behind, with the wooden sword even injuring Elder Xi Feng...

The saying goes, "One learns from adversity," so naturally, the same trick wouldn’t work again on Elder Xi Feng. Thus, the greatest challenge lay ahead for Ye Tian!

"Ye Tian, you dared to injure me! But you won’t be so lucky next time! This time, I’ll see how you harm me again?"

After stopping the bleeding, Elder Xi Feng roared, eyes fixed on Ye Tian with malicious intent.

Simultaneously, icy cold struck again, enveloping Elder Xi Feng’s body tightly...

Ye Tian’s eyes widened, watching as Elder Xi Feng underwent a dramatic transformation.

A thick ice layer encased his body, making him look like he’d ballooned, its surface emitting a silvery sheen, radiating an intense chill—not ordinary ice.

Within the ice, Ye Tian felt a formidable strength, a power so overwhelming it could feel suffocating.

As Elder Xi Feng’s body became further encased, his demeanor turned increasingly arrogant!

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ye Tian, this is my ’Absolute Defense’ system; compared to this, your Life Weapon is merely a toy!"

Ye Tian’s eyebrow slightly raised. Hearing Elder Xifeng say this, did it mean that no matter how he attacked, it would be ineffective?

Of course, Ye Tian was not someone who would back down in the face of difficulties. Even if Elder Xifeng demonstrated an incredibly powerful force in front of him, he wouldn’t retreat!

Saying this, Ye Tian began to gather the power of divinity within himself.

Because the power of divinity was extremely strong, it could release an immense amount of heat when used. Just moments ago, Ye Tian had fought against Elder Xifeng using this method, using heat to resist cold, using fire to block ice, so only then could he contend with Elder Xifeng.

"I refuse to believe that there exists ice and snow in this world that cannot be melted!"

With a snort, Ye Tian tapped his toe and suddenly leaped towards Elder Xifeng.

A heavy palm strike landed directly on Elder Xifeng’s chest.

This strike was not only fierce, but hidden within its power was a tremendous amount of heat. Ye Tian calculated that even the ice armor covering Elder Xifeng’s body should show some flaw.

However, Ye Tian was mistaken because, under his strike, Elder Xifeng’s ice armor didn’t budge an inch. His attack was as ineffective as a mosquito bite, having no impact.

"Ye Tian, I’ve already told you, no attack can shatter my ice armor!"

Elder Xifeng shouted, retaliating with his own palm force.

Just as Elder Xifeng had stated before, the armor on his body could perfectly defend against enemy attacks; it was truly Absolute Defense!

More importantly, even though Elder Xifeng’s body was covered by a thick layer of ice, his attack speed wasn’t slowed down in the slightest...

An aggressive palm force approached, causing Ye Tian’s face to sting from a distance, and his eyebrows and hair became covered with ice and snow.

In a hurry, Ye Tian had no choice but to stretch out his own palm to clash with Elder Xifeng!

Engaging in a head-on confrontation with Elder Xifeng in his prime, Ye Tian couldn’t reap any benefits. He only felt a numbness in his arm, as a cold aura surged into his body, freezing half his arm.

Ye Tian quickly retreated a few steps to maintain a certain distance from Elder Xifeng, using his Inner Strength to gradually expel the cold aura from his body...

Although Ye Tian was at a disadvantage in the struggle with Elder Xifeng, his lips still curled up because his previous attack had been nothing more than a feint.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

As Elder Xifeng forced Ye Tian back with overwhelming palm forces, a gust of wind rose beside him, coming from the wooden sword free to move in the air!

The wooden sword seized the moment while Elder Xifeng concentrated on dealing with Ye Tian, charging straight at Elder Xifeng’s face with lightning speed!

Although Elder Xifeng’s entire body was covered in a thick layer of ice, to see his opponent clearly, his face naturally couldn’t be protected by the ice layer. Ye Tian had targeted this opportunity, aiming directly at Elder Xifeng’s only weak point.

With a resonant sound, Ye Tian fully expected the wooden sword to hit Elder Xifeng and heavily wound him, but unexpectedly, the wooden sword stopped motionless in front of Elder Xifeng.

"How could this be..."

Ye Tian asked in surprise, only then realizing that the wooden sword hadn’t failed to hit Elder Xifeng, but had been blocked by Elder Xifeng’s Absolute Defense...

"Heh heh heh heh~~~~~~ Ye Tian, how could something called ’Absolute Defense’ have a flaw? My head isn’t without defense; it’s just that you can’t see it!"

Just as Elder Xifeng said, the ice layer covering his body was visible to the naked eye, but the ice covering his head, especially his face, was transparent. Thus, he wasn’t obstructed by the ice layer and could readily deal with his opponent!

"Still relying on Life Weapon’s power now, Ye Tian, this is nothing but the behavior of a weakling!"

Due to the wooden sword already being frozen by the cold aura, Elder Xifeng easily reached out and grabbed it.

The wooden sword, initially covered with a layer of frost, was quickly encased in a thick layer of ice, becoming a block of ice...

Ye Tian shouted, but Elder Xifeng naturally wouldn’t listen to him. With a forceful thrust, he plunged the ice-blocked wooden sword into the ground.
