Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Xue Di Takes Action!! Emperor’s Sword—Absolute Ice Supreme!
In an instant, the area within Xue Tianyu's soul power fluctuations transformed into a domain of ice and snow.
As snowflakes fluttered through the air, the battlefield became a frozen wasteland, the temperature plummeting at an alarming rate.
Xue Tianyu's martial soul was the Spirit of Ice and Snow, belonging to the category of Ultimate Ice.
Because of this, his abilities bore a striking resemblance to Xue Di's.
Thus, Xue Di had personally taught Xue Tianyu all of her techniques.
Emperor's Sword, Emperor's Palm, Emperor's Frozen Heaven!
He had mastered all three of Xue Di's ultimate abilities.
At this moment, Xue Tianyu already possessed the strength to claim the title of King of the Extreme North.
Now, with him at the center, an enormous expanse of land was engulfed in ice and snow!
The snowfall was so vast that Tang Hao's entire figure was buried beneath it, leaving only the crimson glow flickering around him to indicate his continued resistance.
"Hiss… so strong!"
Qian Renxue hadn't expected Xue Tianyu to be this powerful.
Although she had previously worked with him and knew he possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo, she hadn't imagined he was this terrifyingly strong!
Before Xue Tianyu, even the mighty Clear Sky Douluo seemed… insignificant.
"No, Father will never lose!"
The sky had turned into a vast world of white, and Tang San's gaze was locked onto the place where Tang Hao stood.
Within the boundless snow, a flickering red light remained.
'Master once said, Clear Sky Douluo is invincible…'
Tang San's palms were drenched in sweat. The confidence he had felt from Yu Xiaogang's words had now been replaced by an overwhelming tension.
'No… Father won't lose…'
Even as he kept telling himself this, an unbearable weight pressed on his chest, as if a massive boulder were crushing him.
Stealing a glance at Yu Xiaogang, Tang San found that even his master was beginning to look anxious.
It was as if he were trying to convince himself while also encouraging those around him.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly roared at the sky, "His Majesty Clear Sky will never lose!!!"
As if responding to Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang Hao let out a thunderous roar from above. The blood-red light around him exploded outward, forcefully pushing back the encroaching snowflakes.
Gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, he charged forward through the storm of ice, wrapped in crimson radiance, aiming directly for Xue Tianyu!
"You're underestimating me." Xue Tianyu gazed at Tang Hao indifferently before extending his hand. "Freeze!"
Crack!
In an instant, the Killing God Domain around Tang Hao shattered, and the raging ice and snow surged in, freezing both Tang Hao and his Clear Sky Hammer into a block of ice!
Now encased in ice, Tang Hao was left hurtling forward purely by momentum.
Xue Tianyu twirled the Ice God Spear in his hand before stabbing it straight through Tang Hao's frozen body!
As ice and snow swirled around him, even the wound from the piercing strike was frozen solid.
Retracting his spear, Xue Tianyu allowed Tang Hao's ice-encased body to plummet toward the ground.
Boom!
Tang Hao crashed down, creating a massive crater upon impact.
The force of the impact shattered the ice surrounding him.
Yet, instead of relief, the violent force of the shattering dealt secondary damage to his already gravely injured body.
"Pfft…"
A mouthful of blood burst from Tang Hao's lips.
His entire body trembled as he collapsed to his knees, utterly drained.
Blood continued to seep endlessly from the gaping wound in his chest.
Lost…?
Tang San was frozen in place.
"No!"
His face paled, his voice cracking with despair. "You can't lose! If you lose, what will happen to Xiao Wu?!"
"Get up! You have to get up!"
…
"This Emperor's Frozen Heaven…"
Bing Di glanced at Xue Di. "It really does resemble you, Sister."
"Of course." Xue Di raised her chin proudly, exposing her snow-white neck. "Tianyu's talent is exceptional—he learns everything at an astonishing speed."
"So he even mastered that technique?" Bing Di teased with a smile.
"Of course. Not only did he master it, but his execution of my three ultimate techniques is already terrifyingly strong." Xue Di chuckled lightly. "Tianyu is still young. His future… is limitless."
The two women exchanged a glance, a rare warmth appearing in their eyes.
"Sigh, looks like I should find time to teach Tianyu some of my own ultimate techniques." Bing Di muttered with slight jealousy.
From the moment they took Xue Tianyu in, their lives had diverged from the path they once knew.
But now, it was clear—Xue Tianyu had not disappointed them.
"His Majesty Clear Sky… lost?!"
Yu Xiaogang staggered backward. Seeing Tang Hao in such a miserable state, he felt as if his own wounds had worsened.
"No… this isn't possible…!"
Yu Xiaogang was in complete shock.
Clear Sky Douluo had been his lifelong faith.
And now, he had lost?
It didn't feel real.
Didn't Tang Hao still have the Great Sumeru Hammer?
But Tang Hao hadn't even had the chance to use it before being utterly defeated.
It didn't make sense.
Yu Xiaogang knew that the Great Sumeru Hammer was Tang Hao's ultimate technique—a move powerful enough to slay gods!
Yet now, Tang Hao had been frozen and impaled before he could even unleash it.
He felt utterly defeated.
Watching Xue Tianyu descend from the sky, Ice God Spear in hand, like a celestial being, Yu Xiaogang's heart filled with an inexplicable fear.
Why…
Why was this young man so terrifyingly strong?!
A cold chill ran down his spine.
If even Clear Sky Douluo had fallen before him, then what chance did the rest of them have?
Glancing around at the others, Yu Xiaogang realized with a sinking heart—aside from Tang Hao, not a single person here could even pose a threat to Xue Tianyu.
At this moment, Xue Tianyu landed before Tang Hao, his gaze sweeping over the group with an air of absolute dominance.
"Who's next?"
Everyone instinctively shrank back, none daring to step forward.
Standing at the rear, Ma Hongjun took a deep breath. "Master, we need to move now. The hope of saving Xiao Wu rests entirely on you."
Yu Xiaogang let out a deep sigh.
'In the end… I have to take action.'
…
Tang San's bloodless face remained locked onto Tang Hao's battered form.
'Isn't he Clear Sky Douluo?'
'He's been famous for decades, and in the end… this is it?'
'If he can't even defeat someone as young as Xue Tianyu, then who can he defeat?'
Behind him, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed as she gazed at Xue Tianyu's imposing figure, her heart pounding like a trapped deer.
Her long, slender legs, wrapped in black stockings, pressed tightly together.
She unconsciously licked her soft pink lips, exhaling a heated breath.
'This… this is a true powerhouse.'
Behind her, a severely injured Dai Mubai stared blankly at Zhu Zhuqing, his face filled with agony.
Never before had he seen such an expression in her eyes.
But faced with Xue Tianyu's overwhelming might, he felt nothing but helplessness.
And it wasn't just him—at this moment, all eyes were on Xue Tianyu.
Like a hero descending upon the world, he was undoubtedly the center of everything.
However, just as everyone was fixated on Xue Tianyu, a sinister fluctuation rippled through the air!
Tang Hao's tattered robes exploded as he swung his Clear Sky Hammer, unleashing a desperate sneak attack on Xue Tianyu!
"DIE!!!"
At that very moment, Xue Di, who had been watching from the window, reacted instantly.
With a simple raise of her delicate jade hand, an ice sword materialized out of thin air.
Elegant, dazzlingly beautiful—yet exuding a bone-chilling killing intent.
Emperor's Sword—Absolute Ice Supreme!
Without hesitation, she thrust it downward!
