Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Terrifying Coldness Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Terrifying Coldness âHmm?â
Baili Yufengâs brows furrowed slightly.
This palm strike was extremely fierce and devastatingly powerful; had it hit Pang Xuhuai, the latter would have undoubtedly died.
However, Baili Yufeng was still half a step too slow; the moment his palm thundered down, Pang Xuhuai had already made a narrow escape.
âBaili Yufeng, your barrier canât contain me. Trying to kill me? Youâre way too early for that!â Pang Xuhuaiâs ferocious voice echoed from within the mountains.
âYou do have quite the skill for running away,â Baili Yufeng said disdainfully.
âBaili Yufeng, the humiliation of today, I will make you pay back tenfold another day! Just you wait! You think you can take the Wu Fire, hmph! Delusional dreams!â Pang Xuhuai spat fiercely.
âToday youâre lucky, next time you wonât be so fortunate.â
Utilizing Earth Escape with the Shadowless Art, Pang Xuhuai made his getaway, and Baili Yufeng couldnât stop him.
Pang Xuhuai, after all, was at the Eightfold Tianji Realm, with formidable strength; if he wanted to flee, Baili Yufeng found it difficult to prevent him.
âNext time will be the end of you!â Pang Xuhuaiâs vicious voice came again.
âWhose death, we shall see. Underestimate me, and youâll regret,â Pang Xuhuai mocked with a cold sneer, âBaili Yufeng, what if the news of the Wu Fire were to spread? Ha-ha!â
âSeeing that the Evil Tribe also desires the Wu Fire, if you wish to spread the word, then be my guest,â Baili Yufeng said without the slightest concern.
âThis bastard is truly shameless!â Liu Qingyang cursed through clenched teeth.
Glancing at Baili Yufeng, Feng Wuchen said, âIf I were you, I would have eliminated him first. Since he is an enemy, why show mercy?â
Hearing this from Feng Wuchen, Baili Yufeng was startled and thought to himself, âThis Feng Wuchen kid seems to be quite ruthless.â
âBrother Feng, ignore him. He is nothing but a despicable, shameless coward. Letâs continue searching for the Wu Fire,â Ling Xiaoxiao said.
âYou little brat, if it werenât for the protection of the Tian Yao Saintess, you wouldnât even know how many times youâd have died by now. Killing you would be as easy for me as squashing an ant!â Pang Xuhuai said coldly, not taking Feng Wuchen seriously at all.
Feng Wuchen did not respond, his expression unchanged.
âLetâs go, continue the search for the Wu Fire,â Feng Wuchen said indifferently, not wanting to waste time on Pang Xuhuai.
Baili Yufeng also paid no more attention to Pang Xuhuai, and the group dispersed again into various parts of the Northern Boundary Abyss, continuing the search for traces of the Wu Fire.
Following Feng Wuchenâs suggested method, they started to probe various places within the Northern Boundary Abyss; whenever they detected warmth underground, Feng Wuchen would sense it one by one, leaving no stone unturned.
As time passed, even though they found many warm spots underground, they could not sense the presence of the Wu Fire at any of them, a pure waste of time.
It was clear that this method wasnât working; they simply couldnât find any trace of the Wu Fire.
âBig brother Feng, weâve nearly searched the entire Northern Boundary Abyss, yet still no trace of the Wu Fire. What should we do now?â Liu Qingyang asked, becoming a bit anxious.
âFeng Wuchen, do you have no other methods?â Baili Yufeng inquired.
âWe still arenât sure if the Wu Fire is even in the Northern Boundary Abyss,â Beidou Yan lamented with a helpless bitter smile.
With a slight frown, Baili Yufeng affirmed with confidence, âThe Wu Fire must still be in the Northern Boundary Abyss; we simply havenât found it yet.â
âIt seems like the Wu Fire is playing hide and seek with us. Although the previous sensing did not catch the aura of the Wu Fire, it should be within the Northern Boundary Abyss,â Feng Wuchen said gravely.
âMaster, why not try to lure it out?â Lan Yue suggested.
âLure it out? With what?â Nangong Zhan asked.
â`
âThere is no other option for now. Letâs go back to the abyss we just came from. Earlier, I sensed an ice-cold breath from beneath the ground,â Feng Wuchen said seriously, having no other way to search for Wu Fire. He planned to first check out the abyss below to see what kind of place it was.
âIce-cold breath?â Baili Yufeng, Liu Qingyang, and the others all looked towards Feng Wuchen.
The abyss had been mostly destroyed by Feng Wuchen, and the towering mountains on the side had long since collapsed and vanished.
Using Earth Escape, Feng Wuchen and his companions entered the ground below, moving along with the ice-cold breath. The deeper they went, the more terrifying the ice-cold breath became.
âThis ice-cold breath is even more fearsome than thousand-year-old ice,â Baili Yufeng exclaimed in shock.
âIf one does not sense carefully, itâs indeed difficult to notice. I also discovered it unintentionally,â Feng Wuchen said.
A few minutes later, Feng Wuchen and the others arrived at a natural underground cave.
The cave was not large, around fifty to sixty square meters.
But it was extremely peculiar!
An incredibly fearsome icy breath swept over them. Aside from Baili Yufeng and Ling Xiaoxiao, everyone else, including Feng Wuchen, felt an overwhelming coldness that penetrated to the bone as their hair and clothes visibly frosted over at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The terrifying chill felt like it was tearing at their faces, unbearably piercing.
âSuch a frightful chill!â
Feng Wuchen and his companions were taken aback, hastily mobilizing their True Yuan to resist the cold.
The cave was an ice cavern, a blanket of white. The piercing coldness and icy breath made them feel as if they had entered an icy world.
âWho could have imagined such a miraculous cave beneath the Northern Boundary Abyss!â
âWhere does this dreadful chill come from? Even those at the Heavenly Human Realm feel the piercing cold. Could it be some mystical force?â
âHall Master, could it be that there is a powerful treasure?â
Yi Tianqing and the others were astounded. The bone-chilling cold made them shiver uncontrollably, and they felt secretly relieved that they had quickly mobilized their True Yuan to resist. Otherwise, they might have turned into blocks of ice within a minute.
No one expected to find an ice cavern underneath, let alone one with such a terrifying chill!
Both Feng Wuchen and Baili Yufeng were stunned.
The Northern Boundary Abyss was neither an icy nor a bitterly cold place, so why was there an ice cavern below?
Where did this fearsome icy breath originate from?
âThis chill is even more terrifying than my Ice Soul power!â Ling Xiaoxiao was struck dumb on the spot.
âThis chilly breath is coming from deeper below,â Baili Yufeng said in astonishment, witnessing such a rare sight for the first time.
âBig brother Feng, thereâs a passage here! The chill is gushing out from this hole!â Liu Qingyang suddenly said, discovering by chance a hole on the ice wall of the cavern.
âThis power of chill is extraordinary and could very well be a mysterious power, yet this breath doesnât seem like it, nor does it resemble an Immortal Artifact. An Immortal Artifact couldnât possibly have such a horrific chill!â Feng Wuchen spoke ponderously, uncertain what kind of power could exude such a fearsome chill.
The dreadful chill left even Feng Wuchen uncertain whether it was a mysterious force or some other treasure.
âLetâs go down and see,â Baili Yufeng said, eager to find out what it was.
The more mysterious it was, the more curious Feng Wuchen and his companions became, and the more they wanted to know what it was.
Yet the danger that might lurk below the passage was still unknown.
âBrother Feng, please be very careful. This chill is even more dreadful than my Ice Soul power!â Ling Xiaoxiao urgently cautioned, her heart filled with worry.
