The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

He drew the bowstring without hesitation.

An arrow formed instantly from condensed extreme cold energy, its arrowhead pointing directly at Li Xuantong's brow!

"Li Xuantong! Do you really think I'm afraid of you just because you're second on the Heavenly Ranking?!"

Bing Tianxiao's voice was icy cold:

"Don't try to disgust me with your 'for your own good' nonsense! You think you can make me back down? Dream on!"

"Even if you are at the late stage of the Transformation Realm, I can make you pay a bloody price today!"

"At worst, we'll both die; let's see who dies first!"

At this moment, the killing intent emanating from Bing Tianxiao was so intense that it almost materialized.

He wasn't Mu Chen; he didn't have the good temper to tolerate such pointless provocation and contempt.

Anyone who dares to block his path, anyone who dares to touch his people, then let's fight!

Li Xuantong was slightly taken aback.

He could clearly feel the deadly force of the arrow!

That's a divine artifact!

"A divine artifact..."

Li Xuantong murmured softly.

He then shook his head slightly, and the aggressive pressure emanating from his body gradually subsided.

"I've seen your determination. You're truly willing to risk your life for Luo Li."

He looked at Bing Tianxiao, his tone still indifferent, but with less of the previous disdain:

"However, I don't want you to use this desperate method of relying on external forces to prove yourself."

True strength comes from one's own abilities, not from external resources.

"I will be waiting for you on the battle stage of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy two months from now."

Li Xuantong gave Bing Tianxiao a deep look:

"When the time comes, I hope you won't resort to such tactics and will fight me fair and square."

If you had accepted my challenge then, perhaps I would have taken back what I said today.

Upon hearing this, Bing Tianxiao did not loosen the bowstring in his hand, but simply looked coldly at Li Xuantong:

"Okay, two months it is."

"However, let's be clear from the start."

"We'll have a fight in two months. If you lose, then don't bother me anymore."

And don't bother me with Luo Li's matter again! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, next time we meet, this arrow won't be ready to be released!"

Li Xuantong was not angered by Bing Tianxiao's provocation; he simply nodded indifferently.

It's a deal.

After saying that, he flickered and disappeared instantly.

Only a faint sentence lingered in the air:

"I hope you won't let me down then."

Watching Li Xuantong's departing figure, Bing Tianxiao slowly released the taut bowstring.

The terrifying ice crystal arrow also vanished into thin air.

"Tch, what are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty?"

He put away his longbow, curled his lip in disdain, but a hint of seriousness flashed deep in his eyes.

Although he spoke with great bravado, he knew in his heart that the opponent's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

If he doesn't use his trump card, "Ice Crystal Annihilation," his chances of winning against Li Xuantong are indeed not high.

"Two months?"

Just then, a light footstep sound came.

Luo Li is back.

She seemed to sense the lingering spiritual energy fluctuations here, and her cool gaze swept over them before landing on Bing Tianxiao's face.

"What's wrong? Was someone just here?"

Luo Li walked to his side, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of concern.

"Hey, it's nothing, Li Xuan came over and chatted with me for a while, and he even insisted on challenging me to a fight two months from now."

Bing Tianxiao waved his hand dismissively.

It was as if the tense standoff just moments before was merely casual conversation between friends.

"Li Xuantong?"

Luo Li frowned slightly.

"Did he cause you trouble?"

A sharp sword intent instantly rose from her body, and the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply.

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down, calm down!"

Bing Tianxiao quickly reached out and pressed her shoulder, comforting her:

"I've already shut that guy up. And I've also agreed to fight him on the battle stage in two months."

Luo Li slowly withdrew her sword intent, but the worry in her eyes did not completely disappear.

"Are you confident? He's quite strong."

"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure I can do!"

Bing Tianxiao patted his chest.

Although he had a smile on his face, there was an unprecedented seriousness in the depths of his eyes.

Seeing the worry that was hard to hide between the girl's brows, Bing Tianxiao put away his playful smile.

He stepped forward and stretched out his long arm.

Before Luo Li could react, he pulled that delicate body into his arms.

"Well……"

Luo Li's body stiffened slightly, and her cold eyes widened instantly.

I instinctively wanted to struggle, but then I felt that familiar, warm embrace.

Her tense body finally softened.

"Silly girl, why are you frowning?"

Bing Tianxiao gently rested his chin on the top of her head, greedily inhaling the delicate lotus fragrance emanating from the girl's hair.

His voice was deep and gentle, completely devoid of his usual frivolousness.

"Li Xuantong is very strong, but I'm not weak either."

He gently patted Luo Li's back, as if coaxing a kitten:

"Give me some confidence, hmm?"

Luo Li buried her face in his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat.

The unease in my heart miraculously subsided.

Her voice was muffled:

"Yes. I believe you."

……

The night was as dark as night.

Bing Tianxiao sat cross-legged on the bed and swallowed the Xuanbing Quenching Spirit Pill.

Slowly close your eyes and let your mind sink into your dantian.

In fact, the cultivation technique he practiced was called the "Ice Spirit Technique".

In fact, the cultivation technique he practiced was called the "Ice Spirit Technique".

It is divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower.

The first volume covers cultivation methods from the Sensing Realm all the way to the Heavenly Realm.

Logically speaking, with such a top-notch cultivation technique, Bing Tianxiao's spiritual power should far surpass that of others of the same level.

However, he has always been quite lax in his cultivation of the Ice Spirit Technique.

More often than not, it is regarded as an instinctive operation of spiritual energy, and its limits have never been truly explored.

"I used to think that as long as it was good enough, that was enough. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Bing Tianxiao murmured to himself with self-mockery:

"We can't hold back any longer. To fight against opponents of a higher level, the quantity of spiritual energy alone isn't enough; we need the ultimate quality!"

"The essence of the first volume of 'Ice Spirit Technique' lies in the word 'extreme cold'."

He compressed all his spiritual power, again and again, until it reached absolute zero, a temperature so extreme it could freeze even space itself…

As his thoughts shifted, Bing Tianxiao's spiritual energy began to circulate wildly along a specific path.

hum!

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be strongly drawn towards Bing Tianxiao, rushing towards him.

What started as a gentle breeze quickly transformed into a howling storm of spiritual energy!

The moment these spiritual energies entered Bing Tianxiao's body, they began to be refined.

Click... Click...

Ancient and mysterious ice-blue patterns began to appear on Bing Tianxiao's skin.

His hair was showing faint signs of turning white.

In fact, this is the obvious thing to do; it's just that he didn't feel any pressure before.

He wants to complete this first volume to perfection, and he has some other requirements!

Upstairs, Luo Li sensed the fluctuation of cold air, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

That guy who's always been so irresponsible has finally started to take things seriously.

She actually knew about Bing Tianxiao's situation.

Because his own silver hair was also due to the power of the technique.
