Chapter 250 The Battle between Master and Disciple
Are you going to betray your master and ancestors?
"No, you are merely my enemy. As for the title of Master, are you truly worthy of it, Yan Ze?"
On Qingyun Peak, Xie Wanning held the Luoze Sword and looked coldly at Yan Ze.
"Xie Wanning, stop! He is your master!" Ye Qianqian rushed forward, trying to stop Xie Wanning's actions.
"roll!"
Xie Wanning didn't even glance at Ye Qianqian, and directly summoned the four divine beasts to fight Ye Qianqian.
After all, it's only fair for a goddess and a divine beast to fight each other.
And now, it is her and Yan Ze's battlefield.
"Field, open!"
Amidst the icy snow, Yan Ze looked at Xie Wan Ning flying in the air and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to betray me?"
“There has never been obedience, so where does the betrayal come from?” Xie Wanning said disdainfully.
"Break the ice!"
The ice blade, imbued with killing intent, swiftly slashed towards Yan Ze.
Yan Ze raised his sword to block the attack, but unconsciously took a few steps back.
Amidst howling winds and swirling snowflakes, the two wielded their swords and clashed in this area.
Xie Wanning wore a plain white dress, exuding a chilling aura. The snow around the hem of her dress rippled slightly with her breath. Her eyes were like an icy lake in the cold night, deep and unfathomable. Her long, frosty hair danced wildly, like a snow sprite singing in the wind.
Yan Ze held a longsword that crackled with lightning; the arcs of electricity at its tip hissed like the flickering tongue of a serpent. The wind whipped his cloak, making it flutter loudly, which only added to his imposing aura.
With a deep roar, the battle began. Yan Ze struck first, his figure flashing like lightning, disappearing from his spot in an instant, leaving only a blur. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Xie Wan Ning, his sword crackling with thunderous force, piercing towards Xie Wan Ning's throat like a bolt of lightning.
Xie Wanning remained calm and composed. She gently raised her hand, drawing an arc in the air. In an instant, a crystal-clear ice wall rose from the ground, firmly blocking Yan Ze's attack.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the longsword pierced the ice wall, unleashing a dazzling burst of lightning. The powerful impact shattered the ice wall, sending countless ice shards flying that shimmered with iridescent light under the sunlight.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Wanning raised her right hand and manipulated her domain. Large patches of dark clouds rapidly gathered above the battlefield, growing thicker and lower, and the temperature plummeted. In the blink of an eye, heavy snowflakes began to fall, instantly covering the entire battlefield in a blanket of snow, transforming it into a silvery-white world.
Yan Ze felt the chill, but he was not afraid at all. His white robe fluttered in the wind, and countless arcs of electricity danced around him. The falling snowflakes instantly turned into water vapor.
He shouted and swung his sword fiercely. A thick bolt of lightning shot out from the tip of the sword, piercing through the flying snow like a sharp arrow, heading straight for Xie Wanning.
Xie Wanning dodged the lightning bolt with a quick sidestep. She moved her hands rapidly, and countless icicles burst from the ground like sharp spears, swiftly stabbing towards Yan Ze.
Yan Ze moved nimbly among the ice shards, his sword flashing as he shattered each approaching shard.
The battle intensified, Xie Wanning and Yan Ze's figures appearing and disappearing amidst the wind, snow, and lightning. Xie Wanning unleashed her full power, summoning a massive ice tornado that enveloped the entire battlefield. The ice tornado spun at an astonishing speed, shredding everything in its path.
Yan Ze frowned slightly, pointed his longsword at the sky, and swiftly formed hand seals. In an instant, lightning flashed across the sky, and countless bolts of lightning descended, converging to form a massive pillar of lightning. The pillar of lightning, carrying earth-shattering power, slammed down upon the ice tornado.
With a deafening roar, the ice tornado collided with the lightning pillar, unleashing a tremendous energy surge. The powerful impact lifted the surrounding ground several meters high, sending dust and debris flying. Xie Wanning and Yan Ze were both forced back several steps by the force of the impact.
"Not bad, as expected of my disciple." Yan Ze sneered, looking at Xie Wan Ning's increasingly angry face.
"You are not worthy!" Xie Wanning roared, but did not swing the sword in her hand.
She looked at Yan Ze, slowly opened her palm, and quietly lay a string of red jade bracelets in her hand.
"Do you remember this? The bracelet you gave to my mother. It witnessed all your evil deeds." Xie Wanning's face darkened as she glared angrily at Yan Ze.
Yan Ze's face turned extremely pale. His lips were slightly parted, and his heavy breathing was clearly audible, like a wild beast about to pounce on its prey. His gaze shot towards Xie Wan Ning like a sharp blade, as if he wanted to see right through her.
"Give it back to me!" The voice trembled, as if in fear or anger.
"Why? Are you worried that I know something I shouldn't know? Too bad, I know everything." Xie Wanning dodged Yan Ze's attack.
"You are not worthy to be my master, much less the leader of the Qingyun Sect. So many people have died at your hands, you are not even as good as Helian Yu. Yan Ze, don't you ever dream at night of the millions of people who died at your hands?!" Xie Wan Ning shouted angrily, her hand gripping the red jade bracelet tightly, her whole body trembling involuntarily.
She thought that Yan Ze, whom she had met in her previous life, was the most ruthless, stripping her of her phoenix bones and causing her to die tragically in prison.
However, compared to what Yan Ze had done, all of this was insignificant.
After all, no cultivator could possibly have broken through the eight major sects, slaughtered 80% of the loose cultivator alliance, and even destroyed the Yingxue Sect.
All of this was done by Yan Ze alone.
"Yan Ze, let me out!" Feng Qi pounded on the door desperately, shouting hoarsely.
However, all that was heard was the sound of crying echoing in the room.
Feng Qi leaned against the door, clutching the token of the Twilight Snow Sect leader tightly in her hand. The token, engraved with the character "Cang," was a treasure that Feng Qi had obtained after attempting suicide more than ten times in front of Yan Ze.
This was the only pillar that kept her alive.
No, there was also the child in her arms, a secret that Yan Ze couldn't know.
She had to go out; she couldn't let Yan Ze discover the existence of this child.
Yan Ze will definitely kill this child with his own hands; he's gone mad.
Feng Qi trembled as she repeatedly struck the door frame with the power of the phoenix.
After an unknown period of time, Feng Qi repeatedly exhausted her spiritual power and died, only to be resurrected in this cold, lifeless room.
She had forgotten how to cry; all that remained was her longing for the outside world.
She shouldn't be trapped here; she shouldn't be a bird with broken wings.
Finally, the door opened.
However, it was Yan Ze who opened it.
Yan Ze's clothes were tattered and torn, with scraps of cloth stuck to his body by blood, making it impossible to tell their original color. Blood was still gushing from his wounds, forming eerie dark red streaks that slowly spread outwards.
His face was covered in scars, and the sword in his hand was now broken.
Feng Qi looked at Yan Ze in disbelief, her heart trembling slightly, but she only said coldly, "I want to leave."
Disappointment flashed in Yan Ze's eyes. He had thought that Feng Qi would care about him because he was injured.
His face darkened, and he remained silent for a moment. Then, a strange smile curved his lips. That smile was like a sudden gust of cold wind in the dead of night, sending chills down one's spine.
“Where to go? Feng Qi, do you know? I killed everyone who knew you. Whether it was the sect leader or an unknown rogue cultivator, they are all dead. You have nowhere to go because no one will accept you. So, stay by my side and don’t leave.”
Yan Ze reached out, and his bloodstained hand gripped the trembling Feng Qi like a pair of pincers.
“You’re staying here. You can’t go anywhere. You can only stay by my side.” Yan Ze’s eyes were filled with coldness and boundless possessiveness.
Xie Wanning took a deep breath and crushed the red jade bracelet in her hand little by little.
"No!"
