Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Snow Kingdom

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in surprise.

He found it quite interesting.

Then, he used Instantaneous Movement to appear outside the ice shards.

But to his surprise, the ice shards seemed to actively position themselves, quickly enveloping Xiao Zhan once again.

Continuously using Instantaneous Movement, he rapidly increased the distance.

However, the ice shards were still able to keep up with his speed, and each time they caught up, they fused with the surrounding snow, making their area of effect even larger.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan knew he couldn’t keep using this tactic.

This was the realm of ice and snow, Ye Ajian’s home turf; the ice shards would only grow larger.

Immediately, he released Death Aura, the black mist instantly merging with the ice shards, the combined power of both intertwining and clashing on a minuscule scale.

Ye Ajian, watching from the outside, allowed a smile to curl his lips but didn’t hurry to attack.

Xiao Zhan, encircled by ice shards, noticed Ye Ajian had stopped his assault. He hesitated for a moment, then instantly understood his intent.

This was meant to be a trial of move against move.

Fine, then let it be move against move.

He increased the flow of Death Aura, ready to erode away the ice shards at the fastest speed.

But then, he noticed something was amiss.

Through his delicate Perception, he realized his Death Aura seemed to have lost its domineering erosive power, twisting instead into an arduous slog as if bogged down in mud.

Even so, Xiao Zhan maintained the upper hand, but the advance was slow.

This puzzled Xiao Zhan.

His Death Aura was of SSS quality, but it was undoubtedly beyond that grade, previously overwhelming any Artifact Spirit with absolute superiority.

Such ice shards should be eroded away in mere seconds.

Why was it so difficult today?

He then immediately realized, this must undoubtedly be Ye Ajian’s ability.

No wonder he stood still outside, wanting to play move against move with himself.

Xiao Zhan then focused his Perception minutely, and quickly he found his Death Aura was not only eroding the ice shards but also being consumed itself.

This kind of consumption was normal, but the rate of consumption was quick at that moment, roughly a two-to-one ratio.

Xiao Zhan had not encountered such a large ratio before.

No wonder the erosion was slow.

Knowing the reason, solving the problem became much easier.

Xiao Zhan released more Death Aura, countering and melting the ice shards. With the overall volume of the ice shards unchanged, the more Death Aura there was, the faster the erosion process naturally became.

Simultaneously, Xiao Zhan mixed Fire Attribute into the Death Aura.

This helped the Death Aura erode the mass of ice shards faster.

Indeed, under Xiao Zhan’s full force, the mass of ice shards was completely dissolved.

The entire process seemed very lengthy, but from discovering the issue to resolving it, it actually took only two to three seconds.

Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Ajian with full eyes of admiration, "To trap me for three seconds, you’re very outstanding."

Three seconds.

In a life-or-death battle, the enemy could have attacked several times already.

"Brother-in-law, you’re amazing too. This move could trap my brother for a long time, but against you, it was resolved in just three seconds."

"That’s only natural. A true man never lasts more than three seconds."

After saying this, Xiao Zhan flicked his Demon Scythe, "Come on, what’s the next move?"

"The next move... there isn’t one," Ye Ajian said.

"No more?"

Xiao Zhan was surprised.

How come the fight ended before it even started?

Ye Ajian chuckled, "It’s not over, it’s just that I know I can’t beat you. I’ve played all my trump cards, and I have none left. But brother-in-law, just you wait, even though I can’t win now, I will definitely beat you in the future."

Seeing his surrender, Xiao Zhan relaxed his grip, and the Death Demon Scythe reverted back to Ye Youlong’s appearance.

Approaching Ye Ajian, he said, "It’s good to have confidence, but as your sister’s man, my confidence runs even deeper."

"Then, brother-in-law, just you watch. One day in the future, I will defeat you."

Ye Ajian vowed confidently. After glancing at the time, he hurriedly added, "Time’s almost up, brother-in-law, I should get going. In a while, I’ll come back for us to spar again."

"Anytime," Xiao Zhan replied.

After Ye Ajian left, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong also returned home.

Not long after they got back home,

Ye Anu came looking for them.

Seeing him, Xiao Zhan teased, "What, do you want to spar with me as well?"

"Forget it, you’re a freak, no one can withstand your attacks."

Ye Anu thought back to the last time they sparred. Xiao Zhan didn’t even use the Death Demon Scythe; just with his fists alone, he had left him dizzy and disoriented, unable to figure out directions.

It even made him doubt his life as he looked at his Overlord Halberd.

Who the hell really is the Overlord?

"There are skies beyond our skies, and people beyond our people. In fact, there are those who can withstand my attacks, and in the end, I will even surrender," Xiao Zhan said seriously looking at him.

This statement, coupled with his expression, immediately piqued Ye Anu’s curiosity.

"Who is it? Who is so brave, capable of catching your stormy onslaught? And even made you surrender in the end?"

Seeing his shocked look, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but smile smugly in his heart.

But the smugness didn’t last long before he felt a soft pinch of pain on his waist.

It was Ye Youlong next to him.

Giving him a warning glance.

Xiao Zhan hadn’t expected his wife to be so perceptive, picking up on the conversation.

Immediately, he put on a serious face, and stopped the nonsense with Ye Anu, "No one, I was just joking. What did you want to see me about?"

He had forgotten the main point.

Coming back to his senses, Ye Anu asked, "Ye Ajian just came to spar with you, how do you feel about it?"

"Of course, I won. What else could I feel?"

"I know that you won, but what I mean is about that thing I discussed with you last time."

Xiao Zhan recalled the conversation in his mind and remembered the matter Ye Anu had mentioned, "You mean the special path of cultivation for Ajian?"

"Yes."

After thinking it over, Xiao Zhan commented on Ye Ajian’s performance in the fight today, "I don’t see any problem. He has harnessed the power of the demon beast bloodline, and he has a pretty good control over the power of wind and snow. Overall development, I’d say it’s good."

"That’s it?" Ye Anu stared at him with wide eyes, expecting more.

"Should there be more?"

Xiao Zhan countered, confused by what he was getting at.

"You really didn’t notice?"

"Speak your mind."

Ye Anu took a deep breath before asking, "He must have used that move, Snow Kingdom, right? How long were you trapped?"

"So that move is called Snow Kingdom. It’s got a nice name. About three seconds, I guess."

"Three seconds?"

Ye Anu exclaimed in surprise.

Was it only three seconds?
