The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 264 - 263: Quickly Use the Handsome Man Strategy (Fifth Update)
Two completely different forces collided, immediately causing a huge reaction, and a mist slowly rose from where their powers met.
Water can extinguish fire, and fire can also extinguish water.
At first glance, it appeared they were evenly matched, but as the mist rose to the sky and turned into snowflakes falling back down, Lin Yun couldn’t help but exclaim, "Science!"
The battle had just begun, and Lin Yun had already foreseen Dongfang Hongyue’s defeat. It was not that Dongfang Hongyue was weaker than the Snow Maiden, but rather the Snow Maiden had the water attribute—a natural advantage over fire, an eternal truth of the universe. Without sufficient power, it was obviously impossible to break the norm.
If Lin Yun could see this, so could others with a certain level of cultivation.
"You attack your opponent’s strengths with your weaknesses, is that your way of fighting?"
The Snow Maiden mercilessly mocked Dongfang Hongyue.
The truth was that experts seldom crossed paths as Dongfang Hongyue did, which made her unable to resist mocking her.
Dongfang Hongyue did not respond, simply maintaining her Fire Domain without yielding an inch, while the Snow Maiden’s realm was filled with falling snowflakes and ice-covered ground, clearly her advantage.
"Boring tricks. Are you trying to deplete my spiritual power to create an opportunity for Lin Yu?"
The Snow Maiden considered this possibility. She didn’t waste any more words as countless ice crystals formed and shot towards Dongfang Hongyue, who did not dodge or evade, opening up her Fire Domain and melting all the ice crystals.
"Don’t resist in vain, you have already lost."
The Snow Maiden had no patience to drag it out with Dongfang Hongyue any longer, as she had to hurry back to the Snow Mountain after this fight!
"Wrong, the loser is you. Haven’t you noticed that your speed of turning mist into snow is slower than my speed of melting your ice and snow?"
Reminded by Dongfang Hongyue, the Snow Maiden realized that what had started as snow was now turning into sleet.
Dongfang Hongyue increased her firepower. Her spiritual power consumption was indeed much higher than the Snow Maiden’s, but she had already seized control of the rhythm of attack. The Snow Maiden was surrounded by dense mist, barely maintaining her Ice Barrier to prevent Dongfang Hongyue’s Fire Domain from advancing further, but she was already enveloped in the thick mist.
"This move is called Burn Mountains and Boil Seas!"
Crimson gold flames wrapped around the pale blue ice realm, with the Snow Maiden shrouded in thick water vapor, her figure barely visible.
In such a short time, the tables had turned.
Lin Yun couldn’t help but admire Dongfang Hongyue for her calculated moves. She truly lived up to her reputation.
At this moment, the Snow Maiden looked like she was placed in a giant blue pot, except the fire here was not at the bottom of the pot.
But just as Lin Yun thought Dongfang Hongyue had won, an unexpected change occurred—the mist suddenly parted, revealing a huge tortoise head that opened its mouth wide and sucked in all the vapor, then spat it out as several sharp ice cones.
Dongfang Hongyue’s expression changed, this creature didn’t play by the rules!
What happened to the agreed-upon competition of understanding the Great Dao?
As the fog dissipated, the Snow Maiden’s figure also became visible again, her veil that covered her face had fallen off, revealing a countenance stunning enough to captivate the world.
Even more peculiar was the fact that her originally pure black eyes had changed color, now they were light blue pupils, exuding a bewitching air, clearly not human.
"You dare to speak of Burn Mountains and Boil Seas with just a spark of flame? I’ll give you a block of ice and see if you can try to melt it again?"
With that, she began to condense it.
Seeing the tortoise and snake entwined behind her, Dongfang Hongyue knew something was amiss.
This was clearly the phantom of the Sacred Beast Xuanwu, could it be that this woman had a connection with Xuanwu?
Dongfang Hongyue thought about fleeing.
She wasn’t ninety percent sure she could withstand the opponent’s next attack.
However, her fleeing would represent the retreat of the Central Plains Human Race, and Lin Yu would have to face her in battle, revealing the fact that Lin Yu was not in the city.
Thus, she had to take a risk.
Dongfang Hongyue closed her eyes to concentrate and envisioned the Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird, painting it with flames.
This was also a challenge for Dongfang Hongyue, it was not difficult to depict the Vermilion Bird, but the challenge lay in capturing both its divine essence and form.
Without spirituality, the image of the Vermilion Bird would have no effect on the flames, on the other hand, if both divine essence and form were complete, the fire would immediately become different.
High-level cultivators strive to transform water and fire into forms to receive the blessing of divine power from the unknown.
In this battle, Dongfang Hongyue had to win, and with this belief, she settled her heart, sketching every detail of the Vermilion Bird, while at that moment, Snow Maiden had already condensed a long spear.
This spear was also highly detailed, with various patterns carved on its body, and it must have been of great significance.
When the ice spear shot out, Dongfang Hongyue hadn’t even opened her eyes yet.
Lin Yun’s heart was in his throat.
Although he knew Dongfang Hongyue was stable and had many life-saving skills, he still couldn’t help feeling nervous at this moment.
He even prepared himself that should Dongfang Hongyue be in danger, he would immediately take Bai Jiaojiao and backstab Snow Maiden.
Finally, when the ice spear was half a zhang away from Dongfang Hongyue, she opened her eyes, and a Fire Phoenix flew out from her forehead, colliding with the ice spear, and Snow Maiden’s lips curved slightly upward.
She was also fond of playing strategems.
Suddenly, the ice spear pierced through the Fire Phoenix, heading straight for Dongfang Hongyue, while the Fire Phoenix, losing its target, flew straight towards Snow Maiden.
But what of that, Snow Maiden was certainly not about to be killed by a Fire Phoenix, and this spear posed a great threat to Dongfang Hongyue.
However, her smile lasted only an instant, the spear struck Dongfang Hongyue’s body and also pierced through a phantom.
"It’s the Fire Phoenix!"
Snow Maiden realized immediately and hastily formed a protective barrier in front of her to block the Fire Phoenix infused with Fire Spirit Power.
The Fire Phoenix exploded, and Snow Maiden was pushed back several steps by the violent airflow, managing to block it, but the next second, a pair of clean, white palms struck her back.
Yuquan was watching the fight from above and only now did he stroke his beard.
I know this move!
I’ve been hit by it before too.
Snow Maiden was sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and what was most fatal was not the palm strike itself, but the fire poison that accompanied the palm into her body.
Water and fire are incompatible, the Fire Seed that Dongfang Hongyue had sent into her was causing her immense pain.
"Lady Snow Maiden!"
"Sister!"
While the other warriors were defending against Dongfang Hongyue, the cunning Lin Yun went over and scooped up Snow Maiden.
Dongfang Hongyue saw this and didn’t bother to feel jealous, she just said indifferently, "To challenge Lin Yu with just this level of skill? Laughable."
With that, Dongfang Hongyue flashed away.
From the very beginning, she had never planned to kill Snow Maiden, as it was not very realistic, but she wanted to win, and there were many ways to do so.
The most humiliating way for Snow Maiden was just like this.
Moreover, to scorn after the fight was truly a blow to the heart; Snow Maiden had a high status on the Grassland, and although the injury she received was not grave, being sent flying in front of everyone and then unable to get up was also a fact.
At that time, in order to suppress the fire poison, Snow Maiden dared not make careless moves, prioritizing extinguishing the fire first.
"Sister, how are you?"
Lin Yun held Snow Maiden in his arms, expressing his concern.
Just now, when Dongfang Hongyue sent Snow Maiden flying in his direction, Lin Yun understood in a flash.
It was time to play the role of the beauty trap!
