Chapter 152 Leaving Tushan
This extraordinary coldness seemed to be able to freeze even flames, causing Ximen Tianyu to feel a chill in his heart.
"Sister Yaya, your strength has increased again!" Ximen Tianyu was amazed, but also felt unprecedented pressure. He knew that if he continued to fight hard, he might not be able to hold on for too long. So, he decided to adopt another strategy.
Ximen Tianyu turned his body quickly, no longer confronting the ice cone head-on, but using the flexibility of pure Yangyan, he wove a blazing fire net around the ice cone. The fire net was dense and fast, like a huge spider web, wrapping the ice cone layer by layer, trying to melt it with high temperature.
"Humph! With this little skill, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of Tushan."
Tushan Yaya snorted coldly, and a stronger cold air suddenly burst out from the ice cone, as if to freeze everything around. However, just as the cold air and the fire net clashed, Ximen Tianyu's figure had already used the cover of the fire net to pass by like a ghost and approached Tushan Yaya.
"what!"
Tushan Yaya showed a look of surprise on her face. She didn't expect Ximen Tianyu to have this trick up his sleeve. But she had the strength of a great demon king after all. She reacted very quickly and dodged Ximen Tianyu's attack. At the same time, she swung her hand back and several icicles shot at Ximen Tianyu like a rain of arrows.
Ximen Tianyu's face remained calm, and the pure sun flame surged again, turning into a flame shield that blocked all the icicles. However, he did not pursue the victory, but took the opportunity to distance himself from Tushan Yaya, looking at her solemnly.
"Sister Yaya, you are indeed powerful, but fighting does not rely on brute force alone. The truth I need to find is far from being determined by the outcome between you and me."
Ximen Tianyu's voice was calm and firm, trying to persuade Tushan Yaya to let him go.
"Cut the nonsense!"
Tushan Yaya understood the reason, but she just couldn't accept it. She was unwilling to let Ximen Tianyu leave Tushan like that.
There was a flash of determination in her eyes, and her hands gathered cold air again. The whole space seemed to be frozen by this force, and even the air became heavier.
"Ximen Tianyu, if you really want to track down the murderer who harmed your parents, prove to me that you have the ability to solve everything. Otherwise, don't even think about taking a single step out of Tushan!"
Tushan Yaya's voice was as cold as ice, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ximen Tianyu's heart.
Ximen Tianyu took a deep breath, knowing that this battle was inevitable. He closed his eyes, as if searching for something deep in his heart, and then slowly opened them, with a more determined light flashing in his eyes.
"Sister Yaya, if that's the case, then let me see your true strength!"
Before he finished speaking, Ximen Tianyu's figure suddenly rose again. This time, he no longer relied on the flexibility of the pure Yangyan, but perfectly integrated his own spiritual power with the flames, forming an unprecedented powerful force. Each of his attacks contained the dual power of flames and spiritual power, forcing Tushan Yaya to take it seriously.
The battle between the two became more intense, and the entire space seemed to be divided into two, one side was the extremely cold ice area, and the other side was the blazing sea of fire. Ximen Tianyu's figure shuttled freely in the sea of fire, and every punch and kick was accompanied by blazing flames, burning and distorting the surrounding air.
Tushan Yaya was equally unwilling to be outdone. She waved her hands lightly, and the ice cones, ice blades, and ice walls were like living things under her control. They were flexible and changeable, and they resolved Ximen Tianyu's offensive one by one, and waited for an opportunity to counterattack. The air was filled with the roar of water and fire, and the dazzling light produced by the collision of the two people's spiritual power, making this world seem to have become their exclusive battlefield, and the noise and disturbance of the outside world were isolated. Ximen Tianyu's eyes burned with an unyielding flame. He wanted to prove to Tushan Yaya that he had the ability to uncover the dusty secret and avenge his parents. Therefore, he continued to squeeze his mana, and every attack was done with all his strength, as if to completely burn this endless coldness.
“Ximen Tianyu, if you can hold on to the end under this power, I, Tushan Yaya, will let you go.”
Tushan Yaya seemed to sense Ximen Tianyu's determination, and her offensive became more fierce. The surrounding cold air seemed to have received some kind of call, becoming more dense and violent. Ice cones and ice blades intertwined in the air to form an airtight net, overwhelming Ximen Tianyu. Each icicle contained a chill that was enough to freeze the soul, making people afraid.
However, Ximen Tianyu did not flinch. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his spiritual power and pure Yangyan to the extreme. His figure was looming in the sea of fire, and every leap of the flame was accompanied by stronger light and heat. He waved his hands, as if outlining a series of flame totems in the void. These totems instantly became entities, turning into blazing pillars of fire, colliding violently with the ice, erupting with a deafening roar.
The battle between fire and ice brought out a lot of steam, making the entire battlefield hazy and mysterious. No one knew what happened in the middle.
Finally, after a fierce collision, Ximen Tianyu and Tushan Yaya's spiritual power met in the center, bursting out with dazzling light, illuminating the entire space for a moment. Then, everything returned to calm, leaving only the rising steam and the gradually dissipating cold air.
Ximen Tianyu stood there, gasping for breath, but a victorious smile appeared on his face.
"Sister Yaya, thank you for showing mercy."
Ximen Tianyu bowed slightly to express his gratitude to Tushan Yaya. He knew very well that if Tushan Yaya had not stopped at the last moment, it would have been difficult for him to hold on.
Tushan Yaya stared at Ximen Tianyu, with a complex emotion in her eyes. She slowly retracted the cold air, and the frozen space around her gradually returned to its original state, and the temperature gradually rose.
"How long will you be out this time?"
There was a barely perceptible concern in Tushan Yaya's voice. She stared at Ximen Tianyu, as if trying to read the answer from his eyes.
"I...I don't know either."
Ximen Tianyu shook his head slightly with a hint of apology in his eyes. He also wanted to give the other party an accurate time, but the clues about his parents were too slim, and every step was full of unknowns and variables.
"But, Sister Yaya, don't worry. As long as Tushan needs me, I will rush back as soon as possible, no matter where in the world I am."
Ximen Tianyu made his promise before leaving.
In response, Tushan Yaya didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, then jumped and flew away.
