Chapter 256: Owe Me a Hug and a Kiss

"Impossible! Weren't you frozen?"

Watching Qin Jian use an Ice Heart Snow Sword to freeze Shen Liuyu, Shui Yue'er, and Yu Hairou in a line, Shui Bing'er was astonished: "How could you not be stopped for even an instant?"

"Sorry, Bing'er..."

Qin Jian held his Sword and charged straight at her: "Your Ice Seal... is ineffective against me."

Perhaps because his Third Soul Ring came from Shui Bing'er, he not only possessed the ability to freeze others, but could also block Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal.

"Third Soul Skill, Resistance Light!"

Naturally, Shui Bing'er could not let Qin Jian get close, so she decisively used her Third Soul Skill.

"Swish!"

Qin Jian's martial soul shot high into the air, instantly triggering Position Swapping, then he retracted his Sword, condensed Sword Qi into Sword Light, held the Sword with both hands, and slashed down in a rage.

"Xue Hua!"

Shui Bing'er turned back-to-back with Xue Hua, instantly fusing into a blue-white pillar of light that shot into the high sky, tearing all of Qin Jian's Sword Qi to shreds.

"Ice and Snow Fluttering?"

Qin Jian backflipped under the recoil force, landing back near Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.

"Bing'er, aren't you able to summon your martial soul alone now? Why do you still need Xue Hua?" he asked.

Shui Bing'er's voice came from the pillar of light, carrying confidence and composure: "Because... doing it that way directly would mean losing!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Countless snowflakes danced in the sky, each flake as sharp as a blade, drifting down while spinning, turning into Ice and Snow Arrows that swept toward the members of Shrek Academy.

Seeing this, Qin Jian understood why Shui Bing'er had been preparing this all along, because only by combining the power of two people could one possess such ultimate Ice and Snow power.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

What the audience saw was the tornado of snow, but what the members of Shrek Team heard was the teeth-grinding sound of cutting and friction.

"Brother Jian, what should we do? We can't block this kind of power!" Tailong asked subconsciously.

Qin Jian smiled and said: "They have it, we have it too, what is there to fear?"

"Zhuqing, come!"

He reached out his hand toward Zhu Zhuqing.

But the expected little hand did not reach out; instead, Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms over her chest and said in a cool tone: "It was a hug and a kiss for Rongrong, but for me, it's just holding hands?"

Tailong, Huang Yuan, and the others: "..."

Qin Jian was sweating profusely: "Zhuqing, there's no time!"

"Hmph!"

Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly and reached out her hand, but after Qin Jian grabbed it, he gave a gentle tug, pulled her curvaceous body into his arms, and took a bite...

The whole arena went silent, then erupted in an uproar.

The pillar of light on Shui Bing'er and Xue Hua shook, nearly failing to hold steady...

"Is this the third girl he's kissed on the Douhun Tai?"

Tailong, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling felt like they had become Lemon Spirits, and the entire audience had also become Lemon Spirits.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Ice and Snow Fluttering had already closed in, and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Qin Jian and Zhu Zhuqing erupted at this moment.

A nether light ring expanded violently, and all the sharp snowflakes caught within it were instantly slowed down, followed by streaks of Sword Light that flashed through, shattering those snowflakes.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

One attacking and one defending, the nether and the ice and snow intertwined in a brilliant collision, leaving the Lemon Spirits in the audience mesmerized.

"Qin Jian..."

Shui Bing'er's voice suddenly came, carrying wisps of chill: "To actually kiss someone else in front of your sister, then don't blame me for really using my full strength!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The ice and snow filling the arena suddenly shot back, gradually gathering in the high sky.

Seeing this, the other six members of Tianshui Team walked off the stage themselves.

"Captain, your Bing'er is angry, you'll have to solve it yourself."

Qiu Ruoshui was cheerful, looking as if she didn't care about the final outcome at all.

"Hey, hey, Bing'er, no need to be so serious, right?"

Watching the massive Ice Phoenix Martial Soul slowly take shape above, Qin Jian felt helpless; he didn't want to fight to this extent...

"You guys go down too..." he waved his hand helplessly.

Tailong and the others saw that what was coming next was not something they could withstand, so they quickly walked off the stage.

Zhu Zhuqing was already satisfied, so naturally, she had no objections.

Xiao Wu, however, looked back before leaving the stage: "Stinky brother, you owe me a kiss like that too!"

Qin Jian: "..."

The Ice Phoenix shook, and the cold wind became even more biting.

"What can he do left alone? With the Martial Soul Fusion Skill from just now, he might have been able to resist, but now, even if his soul power level is as high as 49, it can't compare to Shui Bing'er's outburst at this moment," said Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wu curled her lips and said: "Isn't it just his male ego at work? Facing Bing'er alone, he definitely wants to handle it by himself."

"In that case, we might actually have hope of seeing him lose for once?"

Huo Wushuang's eyes sparkled, almost as if they were burning.

"Brother, you want to see him lose that much?" Huo Wu glanced at him.

Huo Wushuang nodded fiercely: "Of course! Not to mention how badly he beat me in the Fire Prison, just the fact that he's involved with so many girls while being your man—as your brother, I can't tolerate that!"

Huo Wu's expression dimmed, but she immediately looked up and said nonchalantly: "Brother, this is my own business, I will handle it, don't hold a grudge against him because of this."

Huo Wushuang looked at her, as if he didn't recognize her: "Little sister, this is the first time I've seen you hide your emotions..."

His fists slowly tightened: "From childhood to now, you've never let me interfere in your affairs. Fine, this time I won't interfere either, but..."

He didn't say the words that followed, but he made a resolution in his heart: "But if he truly hurts you, then even if I have to risk my life, I will seek justice for you!"

Huo Wu naturally didn't know his resolution; she just looked at Qin Jian on the stage, who was covered in Sword Qi, and was lost in thought...

With the support of all of Xue Wu's soul power, added to the groundwork laid by the previous Ice and Snow Fluttering, and further added to by the Ice Phoenix Flower that Qin Jian had gifted back then, the power erupting at this moment was at least twice the original.

"How will he respond? Is he going to use Ring Fusion?"

Shui Bing'er was enveloped within the Ice Phoenix, swooping down.

Qin Jian did not use Ring Fusion; instead, he closed his eyes, and the Sword Intent on his body grew increasingly dense.

"Could it be..."

On the rostrum, Jian Douluo, who was beside Ning Fengzhi, opened his eyes slightly: "Has he walked a new path out of my Man-Sword Unity?"

"Oh? Qin Jian's Self-created Soul Skill?" Ning Fengzhi's interest greatly increased.

"Hiss!"

On the stage, Qin Jian suddenly held his martial soul sword in reverse and slammed it into the ground.

"Hum!"

Sword Qi spread outward, shrouding a ten-meter radius around him like a halo.

"Clang, clang!"

Streaks of Light Sword rose from the ground, their tips pointing upward, aimed directly at the Ice Phoenix.

"Bing'er, come and try my Self-created Soul Skill... The name is very ordinary, it's just Sword Array."

Qin Jian raised his head and pressed his hands down on the martial soul sword by another fraction, and this simple movement was like a signal; countless Light Swords shot out from the light circle on the ground, like a river of swords from the nine heavens, heading straight to meet the Ice Phoenix!
