Chapter 1893: Twin Fingers of Ice and Fire

The opponent could make Lu Zhanbai suffer some minor losses even at the Half-step Holy Rank. Once this white-robed youth reached the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage like him, Lu Zhanbai doubted he could withdraw unscathed.

Subtly, the white-robed youth, known only by his name and not his origins, had already planted a seed of shadow in the heart of Lu Zhanbai, the Lu Family genius. It was unknown when this seed might take root and sprout.

As for Jiang Jingyu beside Lu Zhanbai, his face had turned pale at this moment. He was even more grateful that Yun Xing had first targeted Gu Zhixuan earlier; otherwise, would there even be a place for him, the Chongxiao Sect genius, now?

Everyone knew that the earlier Yun Xing hadn’t exerted his full strength, and it wasn’t until this moment as he elevated to the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage that perhaps his true power began to reveal itself.

“We all underestimated him!”

Wu Jiantong’s eyes carried an unusual light, while the nearby Duan Wuwei was utterly dazed. That seemingly young fellow had already surpassed him.

In fact, even if Yun Xiao were still at the Half-step Holy Rank, Duan Wuwei knew he definitely wouldn’t be a match for him. Now that Yun Xiao had reached the true Holy Vein Three Realms, he became all the more invincible.

The two who initially held little hope for Yun Xiao were now undoubtedly stirred, thinking that a Yun Xing who had broken through to the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage might face Mo Han with more chances.

“Damn it!”

Compared to the varied thoughts of the spectators, Mo Han, the person involved, sensed Yun Xiao’s true Meridian Qi cultivation the instant Yun Xiao revealed his form.

That’s precisely why his first Cold Nether Cloud Finger attack failed; he was genuinely shocked by the youth’s Ancestor Vein Power, sharing a deep jealousy with Lu Zhanbai.

Strictly speaking, although Mo Han hailed from the Dragon Academy of the Emperor Canglong Palace, his inheritance wasn’t very profound, so his Ancestor Vein was somewhat similar to that of Lu Zhanbai.

But now, a nobody kid emerged from nowhere, carrying the Holy Rank Ancestor Vein, and not just one vein, making it hard for him to maintain his balance.

These top-tier geniuses from the Dragon Academy were inherently self-confident, disallowing others to be stronger or more talented than themselves.

From Yun Xiao, Mo Han sensed a strong threat, believing that he might still suppress the other party now. But once Yun Xiao truly grew to the Hua Xuan Realm level, the outcome might be completely different.

“Heh, so what if you’re at the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage, today you’ll die regardless!”

After a brief shock and jealousy, Mo Han didn’t lose restraint, having reached the Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage. Within the Great Rank of the Holy Vein Three Realms, the gap between each Small Realm Level is insurmountable.

Moreover, the opposite kid still relied on Ancestor Vein Power to enhance his strength. Mo Han believed that as long as he maintained control, the other party might soon fall into weakness due to the depletion of Ancestor Vein Power.

Mobilizing Ancestor Vein Power isn’t without cost, accelerating the circulation of Meridian Qi in one’s body, possibly the root of greater combat power for cultivators.

Plus, Mo Han was a genius from the Emperor Canglong Palace who could easily defeat even cultivators of the same rank; he believed this time would be no exception.

“Cold Nether Cloud Finger, Double Finger Suppressing Qiankun!”

As another deep shout came from Mo Han’s mouth, the sky surged with dark clouds, followed by two enormous cloud fingers descending from the sky, targeting Yun Xiao who had just broken through to the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage.

“Didn’t expect this guy to have already cultivated the Cold Nether Cloud Finger to the double finger realm; his talent is indeed impressive!”

Seeing the two massive cloud fingers pressing down on him, Yun Xiao lightly praised, but that was all.

If Yun Xiao at the Half-step Holy Rank still struggled against Mo Han of the Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage, now he would no longer hold many reservations about this Emperor Canglong Palace genius.

The reason being, Yun Xiao possessed not only the ability to fight beyond his rank but also the experience and insight from his past life as the Long Xiao Battle God. At least, the variations of the so-called Cold Nether Cloud Finger couldn’t escape his expectations.

This was why Yun Xiao, returning to the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, relied on countless experiences to counter the Emperor Palace cultivators. Without these experiences and insights, he might not have defeated even a fresh Hua Xuan Realm entrant like Xue Qi.

Boom! Boom!

In that brief moment, as these thoughts raced through Yun Xiao’s mind, the two massive Cold Nether Cloud Fingers were already upon him, and his response this time was different from before.

Yun Xiao gently raised his arms, and two fists emitting contrasting scorching and ice-cold energies clashed with the enormous cloud fingers.

Those like Wu Jiantong and Lu Zhanbai could sense the distinctly opposing blazing and ice-cold auras radiating from Yun Xiao’s hands.

At this moment, it was apparent that Yun Xiao not only unleashed all of his Ancestor Vein Power but also focused on the two Ancestor Veins within his left and right arms.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The Cloud Finger on Yun Xiao’s left hand, intertwined with the Ice Cold Power, suddenly bloomed with exquisite ice flowers at their intersection, swiftly transforming it into a gigantic Ice Finger.

Boom!

Upon the eruption of the Ancestor Vein Fire in Yun Xiao’s right arm, the other Cloud Finger suddenly transformed into a blazing pillar, instantly becoming a Fire Finger.

With this, a wondrous scene unfolded in the sky—a crystalline Ice Finger and a fiery red Fire Finger—meeting Yun Xiao’s fists as if two massive horns were sprouting from a small boy’s head.

Countless people were stunned, inwardly thinking that Mo Han’s Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Techniques were broken so easily by that young man in white. How could this be?

Even Hou Weiliang, the guardian of the Xuanyuan Platform, had a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes; the combat prowess of that young man in white, Yun Xing, seemed to exceed his expectations.

“To reciprocate is courtesy. Let’s see how my Ice and Fire Cloud Finger performs!”

In the midst of everyone’s contemplation, the young man in white shouted, and the two giant fingers on his fists detached and shot toward their original master.

However, upon seeing this, no one believed Mo Han had acted voluntarily; those two distinct giant fingers, no longer aptly named Cloud Fingers, were better described as a Fire Finger and an Ice Finger.

The Ice and Fire Fingers, counter-released by Yun Xiao, moved with extraordinary speed, closing to within a yard of Mo Han in just two breaths, making his complexion grow cold.

Mo Han didn’t believe that young lad in white could truly perform the Cold Nether Cloud Finger; the opponent must have used some special technique to easily dispel his Holy Rank Low Level Meridian Techniques.

But to say this kind of trick could harm him, Mo Han—such wishful thinking! After all, he was a genius from the Dragon Academy, at the Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage, having used only a tenth of his methods.

Hoo! Hoo!

As the seal in Mo Han’s hand shifted, two colossal Cloud Fingers emerged quickly from the dark clouds, clashing fiercely with the Ice and Fire Fingers, causing two resounding blasts of energy waves.

Ultimately, Yun Xiao’s Ice and Fire Fingers, though formed through borrowed power, contained his two Ancestor Vein Powers. But to harm Mo Han decisively was still unachievable.

Moments later, both Mo Han’s Cold Nether Fingers and Yun Xiao’s counter-attacking Ice and Fire Fingers vanished, as if the four gigantic fingers had never appeared in the sky.

The dark cloud, sequentially emitting five Fingers, seemed to dissipate due to energy depletion. Perhaps this was Mo Han’s limit of sustaining the Cold Nether Cloud Finger state, which was also burdensome for him.

“What Dragon Academy genius? Nothing special!”

At this moment, Yun Xiao didn’t perform any techniques; instead, his sneering words made Mo Han’s name quite fitting as his face turned exceptionally cold.

If they had been alone, it might have been tolerable. The key was that numerous young talents were watching, especially those from associated sects like Lu Zhanbai. What face would Mo Han have left?

This was, after all, a genius from the Emperor Canglong Palace, now struggling to handle a Half-step Holy Rank youth, openly shaming the Palace!

“Kid, I, Mo Han, vow that if you leave this Xuanyuan Platform alive today, I will never return to the Emperor Canglong Palace!”

His fury erupted, and Mo Han pointed three fingers toward the sky, swearing a Heavenly Tribulation Poison Oath, which conveyed a murderous intent to all around.

This might be Mo Han giving himself pressure, as his oath was made, and when Heavenly Dao imposed invisible rules, everyone knew that the two were likely now at an undying impasse.

“It seems you still haven’t seen the situation clearly!”

Upon hearing Mo Han’s oath, Yun Xiao suddenly found it amusing. Now at the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage, why should he be wary of one Mo Han merely one level above?

Moreover, Yun Xiao understood that without defeating or killing Mo Han, he couldn’t possibly ascend the Xuanyuan Platform for enlightenment; this palace genius wouldn’t allow an outsider to seize the top spot at the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting.

For a moment, below the Xuanyuan Platform, the sky grew tense, confrontational!
