Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 396 - 193: The Precious Body Shows its Power_2

This scene made Tan Feng frown deeply,

"You've been with the Turtle Doctor for so long, why are all the magical instruments you were bestowed and the spells you learned all turtle shell-based?"

"Hmph! I've always been the image of my master, what's it to you?"

Fury simmered in Liu Emei's cool gaze. She spread her hands as her white skirt and blue hair fluttered in the wind,

"Chi!"

With her soft command, numerous ice-blue crystals suddenly floated within a radius around her,

This was a mana storm naturally formed when Extremely Cold Mana condensed to a certain degree, not far from a real Third Tier realm.

Seeing this, a vague fear emerged in Tan Feng's heart as his pupils contracted.

Uncle Yang beside him also opened his eyes wide, a little lost.

"You guys had a good time beating me up didn't you? Now it's my turn to fight back!"

"Rise!"

Emei held her hands in the air, then abruptly smashed them down,

Accompanying her movements, Extremely Cold ice crystals within several meters around her, like a hail of arrows, bombarded Tan Feng and Uncle Yang!

The space they passed through seemed to be frozen,

It wasn't until the rain of ice crystals hit the two of them that they understood how terrifying it was,

Everything such as magical instruments, defensive shields, and all kinds of mana protection were frozen in an instant, losing their powers,

Even the divine sense intended to block the attacks was also frozen in that instant!

Tan Feng felt as if all the world's time had changed. He watched, eyes wide open, as the ice crystalline rain covered him, but his divine sense wasn't heeding his commands,

From previously being able to extend hundreds of feet in an instant, it now crawled as slow as a snail, he couldn't even keep up with the speed of the ice crystals formation surrounding his body.

Of course, this was from Tan Feng's perspective. He felt as if the world had been slowed down countless times,

But in reality,

Within a single breath, both of them were hit by the rain of ice crystals. Wether it was their magical instruments, personal shields, divine senses or physical bodies; everything had been frozen solid, sealed in deep blue.

It took Liu Emei downing her opponents in a single move. She hadn't even used her personal spell,

She merely blasted the Extremely Cold Mana that had been accumulating in her body for decades.

"Hmph, you've been studying my Precious Body for so long, but you didn't even research the power of this Extremely Cold Mana, did you?"

"Ai, if I had known that a single strike would take you down, why would I have had Brother Chen set up the Sky Curtain Array outside for so long? It made me take such a long beating."

"Brother Chen, come quickly! I've cleared them out inside!"

Chen Yi had just finished setting up his modified Sky Curtain Array outside at the time. This was based on the formation plate previously given to him by Ye Huanhuan, it was a Second Tier superior level formation. Its effect was to completely seal a closed space.

Chen Yi wasn't as reckless as Tan Feng. If he had to act against Tan Feng, he would naturally ensure that he couldn't escape nor call for help,

So, he let Emei distract them inside while he was setting up the formation outside. And then he would rush in later and take the two down with his Sixth Layer peak physical body strength.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Yi had laid out the formation and come inside,

He saw the deep blue fading away from Emei's hair and pupils, and two solidly frozen ice boulders on the other side.

Chen Yi was startled:

"Emei, what did you do?"

"Hmm, a single move."

Liu Emei held her chin high, somewhat proud.

"You dare to be smug! Let's go back to recap. What if your attack gets blocked and then counter-attacked? Without any ability to defend, you could get hurt."

Chen Yi knocked her on the head, reprimanding her.

"Ah, Brother Chen don't hit my head. You will make me dumb."

As Chen Yi spoke, he scanned the two with his divine sense and found that after being frozen, the old man had already lost his life force.

And Tan Feng was slightly better off, but inside the ice block, his life force was like a flickering candle in the wind, faint and weak.

"Destroy Tan Feng's Dantian and Divine Sense, but you must leave him alive; he can't be killed yet."

"Oh, I understand."

Liu Emei obediently extended a finger, which a tiny Ice Thorn condensed on. With a thought,

the blue Ice Thorn disappeared from sight with a 'whoosh', shot into a chunk of ice, passed through Tan Feng's Dantian, and extracted a pill-sized blob of Mana. Its fluctuations made the Purple Sand Mink drool,

This was the source of all Tan Feng's Mana acquired over a hundred years of cultivation. Its state had already turned from a pure liquid to a gel-like consistency, a symbol that his cultivation has reached the peak of the Second Tier and his Mana was solidifying towards the Third Tier.

Chen Yi brought out the Three-colored mask, which absorbed some of Tan Feng's Mana before feeding it to the Purple Sand Mink.

At this point, Tan Feng was completely reduced to a mere mortal, his hundred years of cultivation wiped out.

Chen Yi still wasn't at ease,

He had Liu Emei use her ice essence Mana to pierce Tan Feng's forehead, freezing his Divine Sense before stirring it violently,

All his Divine Sense fragments that he had emitted were absorbed by the Three-colored mask to make sure no trace was left.

For a moment, Tan Feng's eyes shot open; his world transitioned instantly from a slow change to complete silence,

When Liu Emei withdrew the freezing seal and released Tan Feng,

All that was left was a grinning fool,

Tan Feng's Dantian was destroyed, his Divine Sense was destroyed, but his life remained, and the soul token left at his master True Person Chengji's place remained intact.

Chen Yi placed the Three-colored mask on him, disguising Tan Feng as a Qi Cultivation junior and took him back to Little Cold Peak.

As for that Uncle Chen, he was first shattered into countless pieces of ice by Liu Emei, then incinerated by Chen Yi's Third Tier Spiritual Fire, until nothing but ashes remained.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Yi and Liu Emei returned to Little Cold Peak,

They began to sort out their spoils of war, scrutinize every detail, and summarize any potential cause-and-effect from the battlefield.

First, Tan Feng discovered Liu Emei's unique Precious body; he must die, there should be no survivors.

This was the reason why Chen Yi made his move despite Tan Feng having a True Core Alchemist as a master. Tan Feng had already taken the initiative, this matter couldn't be delayed.

Liu Emei also understood the gravity of the situation, but she did protest privately to Chen Yi:

"Brother Chen, my body constitution's most valuable thing is this jade essence. If you just take it away, no one will target me."

Chen Yi refused, stating it was premature. At present, she possessed Jade Essence Liquid,

But Chen Yi had searched through the literature, and if he could extract the Jade Essence while Liu Emei was preparing for Core Formation, there was a 50% chance that the Jade essence would ascend into Jade Essence Crystal,

A Spirit object for Core Formation of a higher grade than Jade Essence Liquid, it is greatly beneficial for enhancing the quality of Core Formation.

Chen Yi found this in an ancient secret book. As it involves specific methods, positions, and postures for dual-cultivation, the details were rather explicit, so Chen Yi didn't tell Liu Emei.

The fact remains, as soon as Tan Feng discovered the problem, Liu Emei would be unsafe, whether her Jade Essence Liquid remained or not.

But what Chen Yi gambled on was Tan Feng's greed. To enhance the quality of his own Core Formation, he would choose to act secretly and keep Liu Emei's secret to himself.

Now it looked like, more than likely, Uncle Yang was the only one who knew.

Chen Yi didn't kill Tan Feng for precautionary reasons,

He was worried that others would know about Tan Feng planning to strike against Little Cold Peak, either from his sect or his family,

Old Yang's death didn't matter, he was already old and had few years left, it wouldn't matter if a dying servant vanished amidst the Beast Wave.

If Tan Feng were to die now, there's a high probability Chen Yi couldn't escape blame.

So in this battle, Chen Yi focused all his energies on arranging the Curtain Array,

The Curtain Array could completely isolate external and internal aura. Even if someone probed here after the fight, they could only detect traces of the array but not the situation inside.

Also, when he took Tan Feng away at the end, he used the mask to disguise Tan Feng as a late-staged Qi Cultivation junior.

This way, even if others encountered them on the road or a powerful cultivator computed these events through secret methods, they couldn't connect Tan Feng's disappearance to Chen Yi,

Because Chen Yi didn't do anything, it was Liu Emei who took action...

Plus, by saving Tan Feng's life, he was able to preserve his Soul Token from breaking in the short term.

When the time is right, he would find a suitable scapegoat to erroneously kill Tan Feng.

Then everything would be perfect.
