Chapter 2480 Clash of Ice and Fire

First update, seeking subscriptions and monthly votes~~~

...

Gang Qi is a higher-level evolution of True Qi...

When a martial artist's strength reaches a certain level, True Qi also condenses into Gang Qi, greatly enhancing its power.

In addition to the formidable defensive Protective Gang Qi, there are other offensive Gang Qi, such as Sword Aura, Fist Gang, etc.

Take Sword Aura as an example,

When Sword Qi is cultivated to a higher level, it can condense into Sword Aura... Of course, a grandmaster-level expert in swordsmanship can also directly use their own Gang Qi to condense Sword Aura directly.

Like Sword Intent, Sword Aura is also divided into Attribute Sword Aura and non-attribute Sword Aura.

Non-attribute Sword Aura is the common kind, almost all experts cultivating swordsmanship can condense it... However, some specialize in swords, having extremely high attainments in Sword Dao cultivation. Even if their strength is somewhat insufficient, they can still release Sword Aura.

While some people, after stepping into Great Grandmaster Level, use their own Gang Qi to transform into Sword Aura...

But, in truth, Attribute Sword Aura is the strongest and most terrifying one... This is comparable to Sword Intent.

This is true for Sword Aura, Fist Gang, Axe Gang, Blade Gang, and others—they are generally similar.

However, among the various Gang Qi, there is one that is the most special... It is Protective Gang Qi, which not every Great Grandmaster Level expert can condense.

Ordinary Protective Gang Qi is defensive, with almost no offensive nature... At most, it can only reflect some attacks back, which still falls within the scope of defense, not considered offensive.

However, in certain situations, Protective Gang Qi can also have offensive capabilities... This is Attribute Protective Gang Qi.

Unlike the swords with special intents such as Slaughter and Destruction, the attributes of Protective Gang Qi are relatively fewer. Generally, they depend on the individual's cultivation technique or special constitution, and through some special factors, one can coincidentally cultivate Attribute Protective Gang Qi.

More commonly seen are the Cold Ice Aura that Li Wuhua is now using, and the corresponding Blazing Gang Qi... and some Sharp Gold Gang Qi, Earthly Gang Qi, Yimu Gang Qi, Sunflower Water Gang Qi, etc., which together can form "Five Elements Gang Qi."

Cold Ice Aura is a variant of Sunflower Water Gang Qi; essentially, they are the same, but its power is even greater, with more offensive capabilities...

"Attribute Protective Gang Qi, huh? This is getting more interesting..."

Although Qin Fang always knew that Li Wuhua had hidden many killer moves, he didn't expect that, before he could leverage his foresight advantage, Li Wuhua had already used Cold Ice Aura to suppress him, surprising Qin Fang and intensifying his fighting spirit.

Before obtaining the Chaotic Fist Technique, Qin Fang had some confidence in defeating Li Wuhua, but the success rate wasn't very high... However, after acquiring the Chaotic Fist Technique, his confidence soared substantially, and now he hoped that Li Wuhua had many cards up his sleeve, such opponents wouldn't make him feel lonely.

Now, Li Wuhua not only didn't disappoint Qin Fang, but repeatedly impressed him.

Shift Position Technique, Cold Ice Aura...

This almost made the already extremely powerful Li Wuhua even more formidable.

"Li Wuhua, if you think mere Cold Ice Aura can deal with me, then An Jiu is really too naive..."

As Qin Fang spoke, the True Qi within him slightly oscillated, and a mighty aura burst forth from his body, instantly dispelling the cold surrounding him...

"Huh?"

This scene wasn't out of Li Wuhua's expectations... But it did surprise him because he discovered something, and his gaze towards Qin Fang became unusually peculiar.

"It's so cold..."

"Why is it so cold?"

Covered in Cold Ice Aura, Li Wuhua lowered the surrounding temperature significantly, but it hadn't harmed Qin Fang at all. Instead, when Qin Fang shook, the bone-chilling aura immediately attacked downward from the arena, freezing the audience below.

They were all martial artists above the Grandmaster Level, immune to extreme temperatures long ago, yet they still felt this coldness, demonstrating the sharpness of the Cold Ice Aura.

"Stop the nonsense, let's fight..."

Li Wuhua didn't waste words. With a cold shout, he immediately charged towards Qin Fang.

In contrast to the previous overwhelming power of the Dragon Roaring Tiger Howling Palm, this time his palm energy appeared much softer, without such a loud noise, appearing lightweight and quiet, seemingly powerless.

However, as his palm gently pushed over, the surrounding air seemed to freeze... The bone-chilling cold directly froze the air.

"Great Luo Profound Ice Palm!"

Seeing this palm from Li Wuhua, an insightful expert immediately recognized it as the long-lost Great Luo Profound Ice Palm in the martial world... It's rumored to be an unrivaled technique from the prestigious sect, Great Luo Sect, which was prominent for centuries in the martial world. Unfortunately, as Great Luo Sect declined, this supreme technique was lost, yet it unexpectedly fell into the hands of Tianwai Tower.

And Li Wuhua cultivating Cold Ice Aura might be greatly related to this Great Luo Profound Ice Palm...

"Do you think I would fear you..."

Qin Fang naturally also noticed Li Wuhua's move of the Great Luo Profound Ice Palm. The icy, bone-chilling cold air came, seeming to be tens of times more terrifying than before... He truly believed that if hit by such a palm, one could definitely be frozen.

However, wanting Qin Fang to admit defeat just like this is impossible...

Though the Great Luo Profound Ice Palm is formidable, Qin Fang is not without means to counter it.

Boom~~

Almost at the moment when the Great Luo Profound Ice Palm was about to fall upon Qin Fang, fire suddenly burst out from his palm, and with a swing of his arm, the fire instantly transformed into a long flame giant blade.

"Esoteric Sect Flame Blade?"

Seeing such a massive flame giant blade, someone couldn't help but exclaim.

Condensing flame with True Qi and evolving it into a set of Martial Arts seems to be only capable with the Esoteric Sect's Flame Blade... It's no wonder people would guess this.

"Not the Esoteric Sect Flame Blade!"

Yet, someone denied this judgment. The speaker was an expert from the Esoteric Sect, who himself had practiced the Flame Blade's ultimate technique, and hence knew most clearly the difference between Qin Fang's flame giant blade and the Esoteric Sect's flame blade.

Nominally, the Esoteric Sect's flame blade appears to be a flame blade and can wound some things like real flames, but it is not truly a flame...

However, Qin Fang's flame giant blade is genuinely condensed from flames, and this difference is quite significant.

"Strike!"

Without a single wasted word, Qin Fang held onto the flame giant blade with both hands and suddenly swung it down towards his opponent Li Wuhua...

The incredibly surging flames almost engulfed half of the sky, and as the flame giant blade descended, it seemed to cleave this piece of heaven and earth apart. It was not only awe-inspiring in momentum but also extraordinarily formidable in power.

"Aha~~~"

Li Wuhua seemed to grow more courageous as he fought. Although he discerned that Qin Fang's flame giant blade was not simple and even vaguely restrained his Great Luo Profound Ice Palm, Li Wuhua wouldn't opt to retreat and boldly faced it head-on.

Buzz~~

Quickly, Qin Fang's flame giant blade smashed fiercely onto Li Wuhua's ice palm and cold ice aura.

Ice VS Fire!

This was the second most direct contest between Li Wuhua and Qin Fang.

With the cold ice aura and showcasing a supreme technique like the Great Luo Profound Ice Palm, he is nearly invincible at the same level... It seems even a typical Great Grandmaster-level Peak Strongman might not be able to withstand such a combined killer move.

However, not only did Qin Fang withstand it, but he also countered with a flame giant blade head-on...

Thud thud thud~~~

When Qin Fang's flame collided with Li Wuhua's profound ice palm, it resulted in an even fiercer clash than before... Just, compared to the most direct shockwave at that time, the commotion this time was much smaller.

The clash between fire and ice is essentially a process of mutual compatibility and restriction...

The high temperature of the flame melts the ice, while the low temperature of the ice significantly diminishes the power of the flame, and ice turning into water further extinguishes the flame... This caused neither Qin Fang nor Li Wuhua to gain any advantage, yet neither suffered any loss as well!

The clash between ice and fire still continues...

Li Wuhua's True Qi was incomparably abundant, continuously infusing more True Qi into his cold ice aura, and the Great Luo Cold Ice Palm was strengthened considerably...

On Qin Fang's side, of course, he would not be outdone, and immediately injected more True Qi, making the flame fusion combat technique even more formidable... Seeing that the flame giant blade not only wasn't lost due to the counteraction with ice water, but instead suddenly expanded more than double.

Thud thud thud thud thud~~

The two sides once again fell into a stalemate, neither could take any real advantage over the other temporarily.

"Aha~~"

"Kill!"

However, neither Qin Fang nor Li Wuhua would give up this golden opportunity. As long as they crushed the opponent's current offensive, their side would gain a certain advantage, and naturally, they became even more savage.

Bam~~

Finally, Qin Fang and Li Wuhua almost simultaneously abandoned their fierce offensives, then their figures simultaneously moved, shifting positions to confront Snow Traversing Step, both altering their positions, instantly appearing in front of each other.

Then in their mutual astonishment, they both struck a palm onto the opponent's chest...

The palm energy from both was exceedingly fearsome, and the strength was even more terrifying, even if the Qin Blood Martial Secret Record's energy was merged into the flesh, strengthening the body's power, even if Li Wuhua's cold ice aura protected his whole body, this time there was still no doubt as they were fiercely knocked flying by the opponent's explosive palm energy...
