Chapter 447: Nine Heavens Profound Nether, Ice Ling Qiankun
And yet, in the face of Gu Muyun's immensely powerful sword strike, Jun Wushuang simply raised his other hand, pinching his thumb and forefinger together to deftly catch the enormous descending Treasure Sword.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Gu Muyun's eyes. She abruptly put more force into her grip. A vast tide of frigid energy, like a surging river, rushed forward along the enormous Treasure Sword. It swept toward Jun Wushuang with the force of an avalanche, freezing everything in its path.
The yellow sand on the ground, the dust dancing in the air—everything froze into a sheet of ice crystals.
Jun Wushuang smiled faintly and squeezed the two fingers holding the sword. A vast, scorching power immediately surged from his fingertips.
In an instant, everything that had just frozen melted away, turning into wisps of hot steam that drifted into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the enormous Treasure Sword in Gu Muyun's hands had turned glowing red, like a branding iron seared in a furnace.
The scorching power surged ceaselessly up the enormous Treasure Sword, assailing Gu Muyun's arms.
Realizing the danger, Gu Muyun suddenly twisted the Treasure Sword, knocking Jun Wushuang's fingers away with a PANG.
At that moment, Jun Wushuang applied a bit of pressure with his other hand and then clenched it shut.
"KACHA!"
A crisp crack echoed.
A long crack suddenly appeared on the Nine Spirits Profound Umbrella, which had been locked in a stalemate with Jun Wushuang. It then shattered completely.
Immediately, Jun Wushuang brought two fingers together and pointed upward.
"Great Sun!"
A point of light appeared above his hand. It then slowly floated up into the sky, growing larger and larger.
Suddenly, a blinding light burst forth from it, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
In a daze, a small Celestial Yang emerged, appearing above Jun Wushuang's head.
Then, Jun Wushuang simply pointed his finger forward.
That small sun began to move, suddenly transforming into a streak of light that shot toward Gu Muyun. The very space around it trembled as it passed.
Gu Muyun was greatly alarmed. She hastily raised the enormous Treasure Sword in her hands, holding it defensively in front of her.
And yet, her Ice-Frost Sword was like paper before the sun-like sphere of light.
"BANG!"
With a soft crack, the sphere of light bored a large hole straight through it.
The sun-like sphere of light continued onward, its momentum unchecked, heading straight for her.
"PFFT!"
A crimson Blood Arrow flew high into the air.
Gu Muyun's face flushed red then turned deathly pale. She opened her mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
A large hole had been pierced through the shoulder of her Golden Body Dharma Aspect.
In the next moment, Jun Wushuang's figure flickered and suddenly appeared behind Gu Muyun. He simply reached up a hand and gently caught the sphere of light that had pierced her shoulder.
Then he leaped high into the air, aimed for Gu Muyun's head, and smashed it down fiercely. "Great Sun!"
"BANG!!"
Gu Muyun's enormous Golden Body Dharma Aspect froze in the sky for a moment, then was suddenly smashed downward.
"RUMBLE!"
It crashed deep into the ground, gouging out a massive pit.
Watching from the side, Du Qingshu couldn't help but click his tongue. 'Sigh, my little junior brother really doesn't know how to pull his punches. No compassion for a beautiful woman at all. Junior Sister Muyun is the number one beauty of our Cyan Nether Sword Sect, yet he's still willing to strike so viciously!'
Du Qingshu shook his head.
Meanwhile, in the sky above, Jun Wushuang showed no intention of stopping.
He reached out, grabbed the sun-like sphere, raised it high, and smashed it down.
A dazzling light erupted as the sun-like sphere hurtled into the deep pit where Gu Muyun had fallen, moving as fast as lightning.
"CLANG!"
A loud, clear phoenix cry suddenly rang out from within the pit.
An enormous Nine Heavens Ice Phoenix then cried out and soared from the pit. As it emerged, it opened its beak and caught the sun-like sphere of light.
It then shot straight into the sky, rocketing toward Jun Wushuang.
And yet, the moment the Nine Heavens Ice Phoenix collided with Jun Wushuang, a scorching heatwave exploded from its head.
In a mere instant, the Nine Heavens Ice Phoenix melted away, turning into wisps of hot steam that dissipated into the sky.
Jun Wushuang smiled faintly, extended two fingers, and condensed two more sun-like spheres of light. He then smashed them down into the deep pit where Gu Muyun lay.
At that very moment, an immense and powerful aura erupted from the pit—an extreme cold, as if from the depths of the Extreme North Ice Abyss itself.
In an instant, everything around the pit froze solid as a frigid tide swept out in all directions, blanketing the land.
The sight sent the watching Du Qingshu and Shi Ba scrambling back, not stopping until they were a considerable distance away.
"SWOOSH!"
Suddenly, one of Gu Muyun's arms reached out from the deep pit.
The world changed drastically. Dark clouds suddenly gathered, obscuring the entire sky.
Everyone felt the world around them darken.
The next moment, the dark clouds in the sky roiled, as if something was about to come pouring down from them.
But what fell from the clouds was not rain. It was a downpour of sharp icicles, each the size of a millstone. They descended from the heavens, plummeting like a majestic meteor shower in a flash of lightning.
Jun Wushuang looked up, momentarily stunned. He instantly moved, a massive icicle grazing past him by a hair's breadth.
His figure then weaved and dodged through the sky, continuously evading the falling icicles.
Even Du Qingshu and Shi Ba retreated in fright once more, not stopping until they were clear of the icicles' range.
"SWOOSH!"
Gu Muyun thrust both arms out of the pit. With a great heave, her enormous Golden Body Dharma Aspect began to pull itself from the ground.
Seeing this, Jun Wushuang, in the sky, pointed a finger downward.
"Great Sun!"
Three sun-like spheres of light suddenly appeared. In a flash, they transformed into three dazzling streaks of light and plummeted down.
"BOOM!"
A tremendous explosion erupted.
The sun-like spheres of light smashed violently onto the desert ground. For an instant, the light was blinding, and flames erupted everywhere.
But by this time, Gu Muyun's enormous Golden Body Dharma Aspect had already leaped high into the sky.
She reached a hand toward the sky.
A huge rift tore open in the sky. From it, a crystalline, enormous Treasure Sword—forged from Nine Nether Profound Ice—descended and settled slowly into Gu Muyun's grasp.
"Nine Heavens Profound Nether, Ice Ling Qiankun!"
Gu Muyun cried out and raised the giant sword high in her hands. A brilliant azure light flared from the Profound Ice Giant Sword.
Amidst the brilliance, a sharp ray of light shot out, and an ethereal, sacred figure appeared.
Her celestial robes fluttered around her. Her face was as cold as ice, her eyes glinted with a frosty light, and she resembled an emotionless fairy descended from the heavens.
