Chapter 1666 - 747: Worlds Apart
Lan Yuhe was a complete stranger to Fang Yu.
But Lan Yuhe’s strength was beyond question!
So whatever Lan Yuhe was chasing after definitely wasn’t anything ordinary.
If he could analyze something from all this, find something Lan Yuhe might have left behind, or some kind of clue, it might count as a stroke of fortune to him, a chance encounter, something that could greatly boost his own power...
"Another demon? Daoist Qing Yan, leave this one to me!"
While Fang Yu was mulling things over, Dongfang Aotian, seemingly emboldened by his new standing in the team, vaulted off his horse, laughing in midair as he spoke.
His feet hit the ground and Dongfang Aotian was about to charge in.
The muscles in his legs were already bulging, his Qi Sea already flowing, but in the very next instant...
Pa!
A bone hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
What?
Dongfang Aotian froze, turned his head, and all he saw was Fang Yu’s profile—Fang Yu didn’t even spare him a direct look.
That white liquid slowly spreading up from Fang Yu’s neck seemed to be pushing this kid into some kind of special state.
"This one’s mine."
That calm yet firm tone needled Dongfang Aotian’s nerves.
"Yours? You..."
Whoosh!!!
A blur in an instant.
He didn’t even see what had happened.
His field of view just started racing backwards.
The scenery around him was streaking away!
Whooo!
By the time he snapped out of it, he’d already been hurled out of the curtain of webs, flung from inside to outside!
I just got... thrown out??
By that kid???
The flush on his face was visible to the naked eye; Dongfang Aotian’s feet slammed hard into the ground, carving two furrows through the snow before he finally skidded to a stop.
"You little bastard!!"
He opened his mouth and roared, Bone-Scraping Wind howling around him, making his Protective Aura buzz and hum.
"What do you mean it’s yours, that’s... my prey!!"
Thud!!
The snowfield suddenly cracked open with explosive fissures as Dongfang Aotian shot forward like a cannonball, diving into the web curtain, rushing straight at Fang Yu, who was already locked in combat with the demon!
But as he passed beside Daoist Qing Yan...
Thump!!!
It was like he’d crashed into an invisible wall; Dongfang Aotian was bounced straight back and slammed onto the ground.
His Protective Aura shook violently, rattling him so hard his head spun and his vision blurred.
When he finally focused his Spirit, what he saw was Daoist Qing Yan’s icy gaze.
Dongfang Aotian sobered instantly.
It was like someone splashed him with cold water; he hurriedly lowered his head, quietly scrambled to his feet, and went back to his Black-footed Horse, no longer daring to act out.
Only after he saw Daoist Qing Yan withdraw his gaze did Dongfang Aotian finally show a vicious expression, glaring deathly hard at a certain someone ahead, whose fight was already nearing its end.
"Diao... De... Yi!"
...
Punch!
Just a basic straight punch sent the Ice Immortal Demon flying more than ten meters.
It had managed to block, but Fang Yu... hadn’t even used his Bone Blade form yet.
"Hu...man!!"
As the Ice Crystal lattice shield on its forearms gradually liquefied and melted away, the Ice Immortal Demon was clearly enraged.
Its Shadow flickered!
The Ice Immortal Demon slid forward, lunging at Fang Yu like a blur!
Maybe because it was fighting on its home turf, its speed surpassed that of the Ice Immortal Demon Fang Yu had once crossed hands with in Tianyuan Town—stronger, faster!
But...
Fang Yu kept up.
Whoosh!!
A slight dip of his head.
The clear, razor-sharp Ice Blade scraped past him, missing by mere millimeters.
Ice Blade?
The one back in Tianyuan Town hadn’t used this kind of close-combat technique...
The Ice Blade’s edge twisted, coming at him again.
Fang Yu dodged and weaved, even still having the leisure to compare and think while moving.
Slow! So damn slow!
Compared to the tricky special moves that made the Ice Immortal Demon in Tianyuan Town a bit troublesome, this one’s attacks were really nothing to look at.
Simple close-combat Ice Blade strikes—flexible and varied, sure, and with the advantage of the terrain maximizing its agility—but they couldn’t even graze Fang Yu, couldn’t so much as touch the hem of his clothes.
Part of that was because Fang Yu had gone in fully transformed, his complete Bone Armor state active from the start, crushing it in raw power, but even so...
"You’re wasting your demon talent."
As that judgment fell, Fang Yu suddenly stopped dodging and stood still where he was.
Whoosh!!
The Ice Immortal Demon wouldn’t let an opening like that go; the Ice Blade stabbed straight in!
However...
Crack.
When the sharp Ice Blade met the Bone Armor, it hit massive resistance, like brittle glass slamming into a concrete wall; fractures of Ice Crystal spiderwebbed rapidly along the blade.
But the Ice Heart Demon’s power was still impressive—it forced the Ice Blade to penetrate a tiny bit into the thick layers of Bone Armor.
Yet that was all it could manage.
Because before the Ice Immortal Demon could brace and push harder...
Woooo——
Wind.
A fist wind sharper, fiercer, and more shrill than the whistling snow!
The Ice Immortal Demon’s expression shifted visibly; it sensed something—but it was already too late, because...
Bang!!!
Shatter.
Ice Crystal fragments burst outward like broken glass; a huge gap exploded open in the Ice Immortal Demon’s torso at the waist.
Before the Ice Immortal Demon even had time to register how grave the injury was, the terrifying impact, the raging power, slammed into it at last!
Buzz!!!
Everything around it warped like a black-and-white ink landscape painting gone madly twisted—that was its brain, its whole body taking severe damage and its vision breaking down.
Boom!!!
As its body was flung far away to crash hard into the ground, riddled with damage, only then did the Ice Immortal Demon finally regain some sense of itself.
