Volume 1 Chapter 121: Grand Ceremony

  Xue E's needle is a treasure, and its quality is not low. After Ye Bai's refinement, the power it can exert is also extremely strong.

  Four Snow Needle Roots tightly protected Leaf White's body, but whenever a Ghost Head or Tendril approached, they would immediately strangle them to death. Although they looked slender, they were able to defend Leaf White's body with an impenetrable seal.

  Ye Bai couldn't just passively take the beating forever. Once he was familiar with his opponent's attacks, he decided to give them a taste of their own medicine.

  Then, with a light tap of his toe on the spot where he was standing, Ye Bai flew out horizontally.

  Yebai's body had already reached an extremely subtle realm, so his movement speed was naturally extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the rooftop of Villa 65.

  However, before he could even stand firmly, dozens of black sharp thorns shot towards him from the front.

  "Give me a break!"

  Ye Bai let out a loud roar, and his entire right arm suddenly flared with intense golden light. In an instant, the dozens of black spikes scattered and transformed into a vast expanse of dark mist.

  Taking advantage of the gap, the black-robed woman retreated more than ten meters away and was already on the roof of another villa. The black mist released by her also moved with her for over ten meters.

  It was clear that the woman in black did not want to engage in close combat with Ye Bai, or rather, her close combat ability was simply not strong.

  "Sister, don't run."

  Ye Bai continued to chase after him, he could tell that he was absolutely faster than his opponent in terms of speed.

  The woman in black constantly cast various spells to block Ye Bai, making it impossible for Ye Bai's speed to increase and also preventing him from truly approaching her.

  However, Ye Bai hadn't advanced far when the black-robed woman had to dodge back a segment, but even so, the distance between her and Ye Bai was gradually decreasing.

  The magic cast by the woman in black can only limit Ye Bai's speed and cannot cause much harm to him.

  Before the black-robed woman arrived, some people underestimated Ye Bai's strength. When she learned from Niviya that Ye Bai was only a 16 or 17-year-old boy, she couldn't believe that Ye Bai had such great strength.

  So she arrived in Tianjing City this morning and came to find him personally tonight.

  However, it's easy to come but difficult to leave now.

  What should I do?

  The other side is getting closer and closer, once they get close, I will definitely lose, but all my methods can't really stop them.

  Requesting support?

  At this moment in Tianjing City, among the people known to the woman in black, there is no one stronger than her, nor anyone with strength comparable to hers.

  Before long, the woman in black led Ye Bai out of Tianfu Garden and continued northward.

  The north is the suburbs, and it's relatively quiet at night, while the other three sides are downtown areas. The woman in black didn't want to draw too much attention to herself, after all, this was Huaxia territory, not theirs. If this young man had helpers elsewhere, her situation would definitely become even more difficult.

  All along fighting and retreating, the black-robed woman was also thinking of a countermeasure at the same time.

  Ye Bai didn't think so much, he just kept chasing closely and shouting loudly.

  "Sister, don't run anymore, you can't escape."

  "Sister, stop for a moment and let me take a look at how pretty you are."

  "Sister, if you don't stop, once I catch up with you, I'll spank your butt."

  "Sister..."

  The woman in black was called by Ye Bai, which made her feel annoyed and uneasy. She couldn't help but have a bad premonition: she would be caught by the other party and then forced...

  "It's come to this, all we can do is fight on!"

  The woman in black saw that she couldn't escape no matter what, and the distance between her and the other person had already narrowed to within five meters. She gritted her teeth and stopped in a clump of weeds.

  Ye Bai also stopped, at this moment he was only three meters away from the black-robed woman, still maintaining high vigilance, his whole body overflowing with golden light and flames, the four snow needles still swirling around him.

  "Sister, don't run away, be good, I won't hit you."

  Ye Bai spoke as he began to take steps, one step at a time, walking towards the woman in black.

  The woman in black did not move, and the black crystal core of her staff also stopped releasing a dark glow.

  She seems to have given up resistance.

  When Ye Bai was only one meter away from her, she suddenly took out a crescent-shaped jade block from her sleeve and crushed it into powder at that moment.

  Before Bái could react or quickly retreat, a burst of icy energy suddenly sealed off the surroundings.

  Ye Bai was shocked to discover that at this moment, within a range of several square meters around him, countless silver-white light spots were diffusing.

  Those points of light were like a multitude of stars, and when they emitted their silvery radiance, they also released streams of extremely cold air.

  In an instant, Ye Bai was already covered in ice all over his body, and the woman in black was no exception.

  Ye Bai couldn't help but shudder, and then was shocked to discover that his life force was being continuously frozen, his power almost unable to circulate in his meridians. He hastily mobilized the fetal fire within his body to resist the invasion of the yin cold energy, but even so, he found it very difficult to move again.

  The woman in black seemed to be struggling against the cold around her, she was also motionless, and her body had a layer of frost, she had transformed into a black ice sculpture.

  This is no ordinary chill, the frost it generates is extremely severe. Even Ye Bai's fetal fire resistance can't suppress it, and his life force is frozen.

  Once his entire life force was frozen, even Ye Bai, who was only one step away from the Spiritual Embryo Realm, would have no choice but to die. This naturally made him tense up.

  He could guess that this was the opponent's trump card, and only when he approached the opponent did the opponent reluctantly use it. However, he couldn't get close to the opponent, nor could he defeat the opponent without getting close. He also couldn't just watch as the opponent escaped, nor could he have known that the opponent had such a trump card, so earlier he could only approach.

  Ye Bai couldn't be certain how long the black-robed woman across from him could hold on, but he could guess that if he were to die now, the black-robed woman should be able to survive.

  It can be inferred from this that if one wants to survive, they must hold on longer than the black-robed woman.

  But this killer mace is theirs, if they didn't have absolute confidence, would they use it at the critical moment?

  The woman in black robes was confident that she could last longer than Ye Bai, but Ye Bai did not believe he could last longer than others if he continued like this, so he had to think of other ways to escape the danger.

  How can we persist for a longer time? Naturally, it is necessary to mobilize all forces that can be mobilized to resist.

  If your internal energy cannot circulate, then find a way to make it circulate. As long as the internal energy can circulate, the time you can persist will absolutely double.

  Making the power that has been almost completely sealed work is actually a big problem now.

  After some thought, Ye Bai felt that he could only go all out as well.

  With a resolute determination in his heart, Ye Bai no longer cared about anything else and directly allowed the fetal fire to release its full might within his body.

  The fetal fire is only available to high-ranking cultivators in the Lingtai period, and Ye Bai has not yet reached that stage. Although he cleverly cultivated the fetal fire, his body cannot withstand its full force, and now that he's letting it unleash its full power, it's actually a very dangerous thing.

  Fortunately, Ye Bai's body was tempered by the old beggar with various methods for over a decade when he was on the mountain, making his body very strong and resilient. Additionally, at this moment, a surge of cold air is constantly entering his body, which can lower his temperature and suppress the fetal fire's power, so the fetal fire will not pose too great a threat to him in the short term.

  The fetal fire fully released its might, causing Ye Bai's meridians to gradually thaw, and his internal energy began to slowly circulate.

  What surprised Ye Bai was that when his power flowed through the meridians of his body under the protection of the fetal fire, it also pulled along with those strands of yin cold air.

  And these two breaths of hot and cold air, one fierce collision, one continuous flushing of Ye Bai's meridians.

  The originally blocked acupoints were easily opened up, and gradually, Ye Bai's meridians and acupoints were also forcibly expanded.

  Ye Bai couldn't help but think of the person in his dreams who looked exactly like him, thought of his cultivation, thought of the flow of his power, and thought of the fireball and full moon that he held in each hand after cultivating.

  Then Ye Bai began to try, and started to focus on imitation practice with all his heart.

  It's even more so that with the help of fetal fire to guide and restrict, those yin-cold energies entering Ye Bai's body will quickly follow the route set by Ye Bai.

  After just one cycle of operation, the yin cold energy that had been stored in Ye Bai's body actually began to circulate automatically.

  "This cultivation method is absolutely very powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to control one's power so tightly."

  Ye Bai was also amazed in his heart.

  As his cultivation accelerated and deepened, Ye Bai not only regained his freedom but also rapidly improved his cultivation.

  The silvery white light outside was also affected, and it gathered on Yeh Bai's body one after another.

  The black-robed woman who was closing her eyes to respond to the cold energy, due to still being under the pressure of the continuous invasion of cold energy in her body, did not notice anything unusual.

  It wasn't until an hour had passed that the woman in black finally opened her eyes, feeling her life force rapidly recovering and the temperature around her rising.

  But when she opened her eyes, what she saw was not a human-shaped ice sculpture as expected, but a big boy staring at her with a smiling face.

  "Sister, on our first meeting, you give me such a big gift, are you really interested in me?"

  Ye Bai smiled with a hint of mischief on his lips.

  This was indeed a great gift, the silver-white light spots around him were all absorbed by Ye Bai, and when Ye Bai cultivated to the end, those light spots transformed into a silver-white crescent moon floating on one of Ye Bai's palms.

  Although this cultivation did not allow Ye Bai to advance to the Ling Tai period, it also made his strength progress a lot. At least when he encountered Shadow again, Ye Bai had enough confidence to make Shadow unable to escape from him.

  The most crucial thing was that after completing this cultivation, Ye Bai felt that he had already obtained the opportunity to break through the Lingtai period. He only needed to go back and cultivate with a focused mind again, and he should be able to easily reach the Lingtai period. And once he reached the Lingtai period, even a master like Pei Hu'er who had just entered the Lingtai period would no longer pose any threat to him.
