Chapter 1276: Chapter 531: The Plan Works [Requesting Subscription]
The assassin from the Ice Hell Sect naturally did not know that Zhou Chun could detect his sneak attack in advance, not by his own abilities, but through the warning of a Spiritual Treasure.
The spiritual power of the [Moon Toad Pearl] is exceptionally strong, and since the assassinâs Lifebound Flying Sword was refined from the top-grade ice attribute material known as [Myriad Year Ice Crystal], its extreme cold aura was easily captured by the [Moon Toad Pearl].
Of course, Zhou Chun wouldnât tell him this.
Facing his shocked and suspicious questioning, Zhou Chun merely sneered coldly: âAs expected, Zhou knew you, thief, wouldnât honestly wait at Jiuling Snow Mountain!â
An assassin scheduling a duel is inherently unreliable.
Therefore, from the beginning, Zhou Chun didnât believe this person would truly duel with him at Jiuling Snow Mountain, even if the environment there was indeed more advantageous for him.
Yet Zhou Chun was internally startled at this moment.
On his way here, he dared not relax his mind, maintaining his Divine Sense to detect within a twenty-mile radius.
However, until the [Moon Toad Pearl] warned him, he hadnât found the assassinâs slightest trace.
The opponentâs invisibility concealment Divine Skill is beyond the description of âremarkableâ; it can be described as absolutely miraculous!
No wonder the cultivators from the Ice Hell Sect chose to become assassins to earn resources.
But this invisibility concealment Divine Skill clearly only works when not attacking.
Once engaged in combat, and their aura is leaked and detected, it becomes impossible to continue the sneak attack in invisible mode.
Otherwise, other cultivators would have no way to retaliate!
Encountering Zhou Chunâs mockery, the assassin immediately snorted coldly: âHmph, you survived last time because of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivatorâs Talisman Treasure; this time, letâs see what means you have left!â
Before the voice fell, he urged the Formless Flying Sword and the white mirror Dharma Treasure to fiercely attack Zhou Chun.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun, like last time, first exerted himself fully to activate two Dharma Treasures for defense, observing the opponentâs situation.
Last time, due to lack of experience, he appeared disorganized.
This time, he had already devised a strategy to counter the assassinâs offensive and was not easily manipulated.
Moreover, Zhou Chun knew that this assassin definitely didnât want a prolonged engagement; otherwise, over time, variables could occur.
So, he only needed to take a defensive stance and wait for the opponent to make a move.
Everything was as Zhou Chun anticipated; after using the same old tricks against him without gaining any significant advantage, the assassin resorted to his ultimate move.
He lifted his hand to pat the storage pouch on his waist, and a white Jade Talisman appeared in his hand.
Holding the white Jade Talisman, he infused his cultivated ice attribute Mana into it, quickly activating it and throwing it forward.
Instantly, a powerful white icy light expanded in a circular pattern from the Jade Talisman, spreading rapidly toward Zhou Chun with extreme speed.
Wherever the white icy light passed, the water vapor in the sky immediately condensed into tiny ice fragments, taking various shapes. Even the clouds turned into frost, falling in large chunks to the ground!
The terrifying thing is, the range of this phenomenon covered an extensive area, encompassing several dozen miles, with the temperature of the ground quickly dropping to freezing, turning the landscape color to frost white in the blink of an eye!
Such a world-changing method in an instant truly inspires awe and reverence.
Without a doubt, this was the effect of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivatorâs Divine Skill; that white Jade Talisman must have been a Divine Skill Jade Talisman made by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from the Ice Hell Sect!
Generally, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators rarely make attack-type Divine Skill Jade Talismans because the power of such skills is more challenging to bind and seal, and using them can be very dangerous for Golden Core Stage cultivators, risking self-harm.
Yet the Divine Skill Jade Talisman used by the Ice Hell Sect assassin was evidently an attack-type one.
At that moment, faced directly with the impact of the white icy light, several layers of defenses around Zhou Chun were easily frozen and shattered, even the golden shield Dharma Treasure transformed by the Lifebound Dharma Treasure [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] was instantly frozen.
However, there was one exception in his defense, which was the silver-white Immortal Robe draped over him.
The âGreater Yin Protective Immortal Garmentâ employed for defense, due to Zhou Chunâs cultivation level limitation, had only its usual power, which should have been unable to withstand an attack from a Divine Ability Talismanâs power.
But ice attribute Divine Skills are an exception!
The [Moon Toad Pearl] Spiritual Treasure has a powerful ability to devour and absorb ice attribute power, even at the Fifth Order quality level of ice attributes.
And the âGreater Yin Protective Immortal Garmentâ as an intimate protection naturally inherited this ability from the Spiritual Treasureâs main body.
Thus, when the white icy light encountered it, the power was immediately devoured and dissolved, making it difficult to inflict any real damage on Zhou Chun.
Yet the white icy light was only the assassinâs initial offensive.
After urging the Divine Ability Talisman in his hand, the assassin employed a sword technique and directed the Formless Flying Sword to transform into a white sword rainbow, shooting straight at Zhou Chun.
Before the sword rainbow arrived, the piercing cold was already causing Zhou Chunâs hair to stand on end, feeling a strong sense of crisis.
Without time to think, he hurriedly activated the Divine Ability Talisman hidden in his sleeve and cast it out.
