Chapter 1374: Chapter 1374 Sneak Attack
As the snow marten dodged, a five-colored light emerged from its original position.
"Eh? What’s under it?" Ye Liuyun wondered. The snow ferret sat back down, continuing to attack him with the five-colored stream of light.
"Hmm? Could it be that it can only launch attack there?"
Ye Liuyun speculated. He seized another opportunity to swing his sword from a distance, following up with a second and third strike, forcing the Sacred Majesty-level snow marten to move away from its initial position.
The snow marten roared in frustration but had no choice but to dodge.
"So that’s it!" Ye Liuyun realized that there was something peculiar beneath the snow marten.
Using his Golden Phantom Eyes, he observed an opening where the five-colored light was emanating. The light was coming from underground. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Ye Liuyun also noticed that the top of the main hall, illuminated by the five-colored light, had been pierced through with a hole.
While wielding his knife to keep the snow marten at bay, Ye Liuyun rapidly approached the source of the light.
"This snow marten is cultivating with this five-colored light!" He speculated.
As he charged towards the snow marten, his Divine Sense suddenly sensed someone approaching.
Without much thought, he swung his sword behind him.
However, when he turned around, there was no one there.
He quickly activated his Golden Phantom Eyes and saw a figure in black running towards the end of the ice bridge.
"Xie Tianhong?"
From behind, the attacking figure resembled Xie Tianhong greatly.
Ye Liuyun glanced at his sword, which had a trace of blood on it.
However, just as he paused, the Sacred Majesty-level snow marten once again positioned itself on the five-colored light, preparing to launch an attack.
Ye Liuyun had to dodge its attacks while moving out of its attack range.
Ye Tiandao, at the entrance of the Ice Palace, was still recovering. Through his Golden Phantom Eyes, Ye Liuyun saw that the person in black had already reached the other end of the ice bridge.
Ye Liuyun smiled and didn’t bother to chase him.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Tiandao also looked towards the direction of the ice bridge but saw nothing.
"Someone just ambushed me, seemed like Xie Tianhong. He used a technique similar to the Xenocide-hidden Skill," Ye Liuyun informed Ye Tiandao.
"Are you hurt?" Ye Tiandao asked, concerned.
"I’m fine. But I managed to cut him with my sword. I just don’t know where it landed!" Ye Liuyun chuckled.
"I didn’t even sense him entering!" Ye Tiandao said regretfully.
"Don’t blame yourself! He has a higher realm than you, and his Invisible Skill is quite good. Not noticing is normal. I was worried that he might attack you when escaping, so I came back!"
The reason why Ye Liuyun had retreated was because he was worried that Xie Tianhong would attack Ye Tiandao.
"I’ll bring you into the Spatial World, alright? Just in case he came back." Ye Liuyun suggested.
"Will he find out that you have a Spatial World like that?" Ye Tiandao asked back.
"Since the fox has shown its tail, I might not be able to focus on protecting you if there’s a big danger. So the Spatial World can no longer stay hidden. I must ensure your safety!" Ye Liuyun said.
"I’m burdening you!" Ye Tiandao said helplessly.
If she entered the Spatial World, it would expose another aspect of Ye Liuyun’s strength. Xie Tianhong would probably guess that Ye Liuyun’s power in space was not weak either.
But if she didn’t enter, when danger arose, Ye Liuyun would have to divide his attention to take care of her. freewebnσvel.cøm
"Don’t be polite with me! Go back and rest, don’t think too much!"
Ye Liuyun comforted her and teleported her into the Spatial World.
Afterward, he once again raised his sword and rushed towards the main hall. But after running a few steps, he disappeared from the snow marten’s line of sight.
Inspired by Xie Tianhong, Ye Liuyun also used the Xenocide-hidden Skill.
Now, the snow marten became tense, knowing that Ye Liuyun was using the invisibility method.
So, it focused its attention on the front. After observing for a while and not finding anything, it began attacking indiscriminately, spraying the five-colored stream of light everywhere, shattering all the ice sculptures within its attack range.
Suddenly, a sword intention swept from the side.
Ye Liuyun’s figure appeared in a flash.
The snow marten intended to retreat, but to its surprise, the space around it was suddenly locked.
In a moment of urgency, it lifted its claws to resist Ye Liuyun’s sword intention.
"Clang, clang." A crisp sound echoed as the snow marten’s sharp claws managed to block Ye Liuyun’s powerful sword intention.
The snow marten’s power of space did weaken somewhat, and it couldn’t immediately break free from Ye Liuyun’s restraint.
"Another strike then!"
Ye Liuyun raised his hand and delivered another sword strike, followed by more than ten consecutive slashes.
"Clang!" The sound resonated as the snow marten’s claws were cut off, but it managed to block the attacks.
"Ow!" The snow marten roared in frustration. Finally breaking free from Ye Liuyun’s spatial confinement, it opened its mouth, ready to unleash the five-colored light again.
Ye Liuyun promptly used his power of space to shift the snow marten to the side.
This time, the snow marten opened its mouth, but nothing came out.
"Run out of ways to deal with me?" Ye Liuyun smiled and attacked the snow marten using spatial displacement.
He had discovered the weakness of the snow marten. Its power of space was considerably weak.
Presumably, it had limited combat experience, lacking a substantial amount of practical knowledge.
However, the snow ferret’s realm was high, giving it a certain level of resistance. It used genuine energy to form a direct defense against Ye Liuyun’s power of space.
Approaching the snow marten with a smile, Ye Liuyun swung his sword with full force towards its neck.
The snow marten had to resist both Ye Liuyun’s power of space and block his incoming strike, all while confined within a narrow space with limited room to dodge.
In a moment of desperation, it raised its claws to block.
But this time, it failed.
Ye Liuyun’s sword suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was about to strike the snow marten’s neck.
Ye Liuyun had used his power of space for this strike as well, bypassing the claws the snow marten swung and aiming for its head.
The snow marten, still holding its claws up, didn’t realize what happened until its head was severed by Ye Liuyun.
"Whew! Fortunately, this guy lacks experience!"
Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief, then stored the snow marten’s body in the Spatial World, letting Liang Xue handle the fur and virtuoso.
Holding its head, Ye Liuyun cautiously approached the five-colored light emanating from the ground.
He discovered that the snow marten’s skin could withstand the light, but its flesh couldn’t. Once the flesh touched the light, it immediately turned into powder.
Ye Liuyun exposed the flesh on the snow marten’s head to the five-colored light, allowing it to disintegrate. Then, he felt the light through the fur.
"It is indeed energy!"
Upon feeling it, Ye Liuyun confirmed that the snow marten relied on these lights for cultivation.
