Chapter 320: Chapter 0320 True Qi Freeze

He had already sensed that he would not be a match for this young man, yet the pride hidden in his blood, that unique pride of ancient martial artists, would not allow him to simply bow his head and concede defeat.

"I want to fight you!" Tang Batian repeated, this time with more force and conviction in his voice, even conveying a determination to face death.

This feeling was somewhat familiar to him, reminiscent of the duel he had once had with Shi Wanwang, seeing the same determination in Shi Wanwang.

Those who would burn their own life and essence blood for a decisive battle are no different from Tang Batian now.

Chu Ge held one hand behind his back and with the other, he made a gesture of invitation, "Let’s go outside to fight."

Since he wanted to break through himself before dying, then he would fulfill his wish.

It wasn’t that Chu Ge was particularly kind-hearted; it was a form of respect for a fellow ancient martial artist, a respect for the path of ancient martial arts.

At the peak of Snow Mountain, the wind howled chillingly.

Chu Ge and Tang Batian stood on two separate peaks, while Nangong Yunhai, Huo Tianqian, and Shen Congwen positioned themselves at a safe distance to watch from afar.

Huo Tianqian grunted indignantly, "What a pity, I wish I could have killed Tang Batian with my own hands!"

With his arms crossed, Nangong Yunhai’s thoughtful eyes watched Chu Ge. Honestly, he knew of Chu Ge’s prowess from the battle with Shi Wanwang, despite not quite believing it when his sister told him how formidable Chu Ge was.

But that battle with Shi Wanwang was indeed unforgettable.

The shocking scene, akin to special effects seen only in TV dramas, starkly unfolded before him.

Despite having experienced it once, the sight of Chu Ge standing arrogantly at the peak of Snow Mountain now evoked in him an illusion that Chu Ge didn’t belong to their world.

He seemed like a natural-born king, like an eagle soaring in the sky that no one could capture.

A hint of heartache crossed the depths of Nangong Yunhai’s eyes. It seemed his sister’s affections were doomed, alas.

And Shen Congwen, seeming not yet recovered from the earlier shock, had his lips slightly parted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Could this be a duel between ancient martial artists?

Even though the two stood at the peak of Snow Mountain, separated by a great distance, he could still feel the intense aura emanating from them.

The temperature here was extremely low, yet the three of them seemed unaffected, their gazes intently focused on the two figures atop the summit.

At the top, Tang Batian looked at Chu Ge with a hint of melancholy and said, "It took me fifteen years to reach the late innate stage, yet at such a young age, you possess the potential to break through to grandmaster. Shen Xing’s death was not unjustified."

In their circle of ancient martial artists, there is a saying: a grandmaster who faces insult must be slain.

The two sentences spoken by Shen Xing might not have contained any particularly offensive words, but for a grandmaster, they were a great disrespect.

Thus, he harbored no grievances about his death.

However, he had a complex, indefinable feeling towards Shen Xing; to say he hated him? Yes, he did hate him, for if it weren’t for Shen Xing’s reckless suggestions, he wouldn’t have lost two brothers who had been through life and death with him for many years.

To say he was grateful? Indeed, he was grateful, for without his proposals, he wouldn’t have had this duel with Chu Ge.

Tang Batian took a deep breath, feeling the transformative spiritual energy of heaven and earth, sensing his body becoming even more energized.

Indeed, Shen Xing was correct, this place is extremely suitable for Ancient Martial Artists to cultivate.

At the same time, Chu Ge also felt it. Since he began ascending the mountain, he distinctly sensed that the Spiritual Energy here was more abundant than any other place. He even faintly felt that beneath Snow Mountain, there lay a Spirit Vein capable of defying heaven itself. This place was perfect for his breakthrough to Grandmaster.

Recollecting his focus, Chu Ge coldly glanced at Tang Batian and slowly said, "Let’s begin."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Batian gathered his True Qi. The surrounding snowflakes immediately began to dance chaotically, quickly transforming into a snowball, "Ha!"

Following his command, the snowball visibly began to grow larger as it revolved, drawing in more and more surrounding snowflakes through a powerful attraction force until it ultimately formed into a three-meter-wide snowball.

Then, it directly charged towards Chu Ge.

On the mountainside, Shen Congwen furrowed his brows, scratching his head in confusion, "Can this snowball really hurt someone?"

Huo Tianqian gave him a look, "Don’t underestimate this mere snowball; it can take your life!"

"It might appear to be just a snowball, but inside it’s concentrated with solidified True Qi. The snowball heading towards Mr. Chu represents that the True Qi inside has solidified. It’s only because the outer layer is formed of snow that we can’t see what’s inside,"

explained Nangong Yunhai from the side.

Huo Tianqian looked at him in surprise, "Young Master Nangong knows about this as well?"

Nangong Yunhai smiled, "I don’t, but I heard about it from my sister."

Huo Tianqian nodded and said no more, his gaze returning to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge stood still, clearly feeling the snow beneath his feet continuously diminishing, a result of Tang Batian’s manipulation of True Qi.

With the snowflakes whirling wildly and the visibility murky around, several mini-tornadoes had already taken shape. If these tornadoes were to merge into one, the consequences would be horrifying.

"Go!" Tang Batian mobilized his Inner Strength, and the snowball suddenly accelerated, rushing towards Chu Ge.

"Bang!" A loud noise, and Chu Ge’s body was uncontrollably sucked into the snowball, more precisely, the snowball had engulfed him completely.

"Burst!" Tang Batian exerted force with both hands again, causing the snowball to rapidly shrink at a visible rate.

Shen Congwen had never seen such a martial arts duel before; seeing Chu Ge disappear into the snowball, he immediately grew tense, "This is bad!"

Huo Tianqian shook his head, "Don’t panic."

As he spoke, after the snowball rapidly shrunk a few times, it suddenly stopped.

Everything happened so suddenly that Tang Batian didn’t even have time to think about what had just happened. He just heard a loud bang, and the snowball dissolved into snowflakes, drifting down from the sky.

And Chu Ge stood there, completely unharmed.

He had easily dodged his True Qi transformed into a blade?

Tang Batian inwardly gasped, his eyes becoming more frenzied. It seemed he had underestimated this young man’s strength after all.

"You didn’t think my attack methods were just limited to this, did you?" Tang Batian chuckled lightly, "That snowball’s main purpose wasn’t really to kill you; it was to freeze the True Qi within your body."

Tang Batian spoke with some pride, "Once the True Qi inside your body is frozen, even if your strength has already surpassed that of a Grandmaster, it will be of no avail."
