Chapter 340: YuYu's freezing of all things

For a moment, it seemed as if the sounds of the entire world had come to an abrupt halt.

Demons who mastered ice-attribute powers were not rare, such as the ice user Seiryu whom Yusuke had once defeated, the Frozen of Team Masho, and a certain ice fairy who could only count to 9... oh, the last one was an ice spirit, not a demon, so let's exclude her for now.

But this showed that ice-attribute abilities, if not everywhere, were common enough, and it was just those few tricks back and forth.

Therefore, what truly shocked everyone, what made all the audience sway in horror, was—that demonic energy.

In an instant, it was as if the atmosphere was rising and falling like tides with this demonic energy, swirling violently like a typhoon. The temperature of the air dropped sharply, and the world began to enter a cold freezing state, as if the Ice Age from countless years ago had descended again.

Frozen, who had once lost to Yusuke, sat in the spectator stands and shivered, unable to help but say: "This unprecedented, absolute demonic energy, I wonder how it was practiced?..."

"Wow! Yukina has actually become so powerful!" Through the window that had developed a layer of white frost, Koenma felt that demonic energy, and the pacifier he was biting almost fell out.

"Yukina-sister hasn't relaxed at all over the past few years..." Botan wrapped her thin leather jacket around herself. Even though she was a spirit body, she felt a chill from the bottom of her heart.

Botan had watched Yukina push her cultivation to this level bit by bit.

Since she had undergone arduous training under Kurama and Genkai, plus her determination to become stronger, how could Yukina, who was Hiei's own sister, not be strong?

In the Human Realm, she was all alone and actually had no one to rely on.

So she had to be strong, could not not be strong, must be strong!

According to the general grading of the Spirit Realm, as long as there is enough time, B-class demons can destroy a city, and A-class demons can destroy a country.

Reaching A-class, even if one is not good at fighting, is still an existence standing at the peak of the Human Realm. Hiei reached this level at the age of five, and Yukina finally made a breakthrough after learning the news of her brother's appearance.

Cold, very cold.

It wasn't just the demonic energy that was cold, but the whole person seemed to be frozen by ten thousand feet of ice, emitting a chill, as if the heart itself were frozen.

The sharp appearance, the expression that seemed to disdain everything, no matter how you looked at it, it looked heartless, but the feeling brought by the opponent was even more indifferent than Hiei.

Just in terms of demonic energy value, this mysterious person was several times that of Hiei. Even if he completely unleashed his Evil King Fist, it would be impossible to compare.

But, this demonic energy, which was even greater than Hiei's current one, made him unable to help but feel—"You are... a very familiar person!"

Hiei slowly unwrapped the bandages on his wrists, and through the black full-body cloak, he seemed to want to see clearly who the person underneath was.

"Who exactly are you?"

He recalled his original intention of coming to the Human Realm, the purpose of participating in the Dark Martial Arts Assembly, which was to find his lost twin sister...

Could it be?

Just as Hiei couldn't control himself and wanted to walk closer, a flash of ice sword light had already crossed space. Huge ice prisms and ice thorns slashed out in the air, deriving directly like sharp blades, cutting open the hard ground and slashing an arc-shaped crack over a hundred meters long beside Hiei's feet.

Terrifying.

No extra display needed.

Hiei immediately realized that the person in front of him was stronger than he was now, much stronger.

Under the demonic energy that was shocking enough to make people feel stunned, the black-haired Evil Eye Master had a layer of strange flames burning around him. That was his unique Demon Realm fire.

He was Hiei.

He was Hiei who would never admit defeat.

No matter who the person in front of him was,

What he had to do was defeat the opponent,

And then grasp the answer with his own hands!

Since he couldn't get an answer, let him figure everything out himself, relying on his own fists!

Hiei's arm, from which he had removed the bandages, had become completely wicked. His whole body exuded the fighting spirit of a wild beast, extreme confidence and pride. Today, he was going to win against the strong with the weak!

"Evil Wang Yan Killing Fist!"

Using his own demonic energy as a medium to summon flames from the Demon Realm to envelop his fist, he can unleash an attack even more powerful than Purgatory Scorch. It is like an erupting volcano; scorching flames continuously burst forth from his body, and his fist glows as bright as the sun as he blasts it forward.

The cold aura descended from the sky, sweeping in all directions. As that person pointed a finger, ice-blue sword energy surged out.

"Ice Storm Sword, Twenty."

The familiar voice fell. Before he could think carefully, Hiei felt that everything in front of him seemed to be occupied by that sword light. That sword of cold ice was the only thing in the world.

What was even more terrifying was that as this sword slashed out, snowflakes drifted within a radius of ten kilometers. The demons in the spectator stands shivered with cold, the ground was covered with a layer of white frost, and the whole world seemed to have ushered in a cold winter in advance.

The next moment, a crisp sword sound rang from the ground. That sword of frost, which seemed to have turned into the only thing in the world, rushed into the sky and slashed heavily on Hiei, who was rushing forward. Then, flowers of ice covered his whole body.

Frost began to appear from his hands and feet, and then covered his body. But no matter how the scorching demonic energy inside his body erupted, the layer of ice on his body surface did not shatter as expected.

The only thing he knew that could easily neutralize the fire of the Demon Realm was a member of the same Demon Realm race... But, if it was really the person he thought of, then Hiei couldn't lose even more!

"Evil Wang Yan Killing Black—"

What was faster than him was...

"Sit upon the frozen heavens! Hyorinmaru!"

This time, every audience member present heard it. It was a girl's voice.

A sword of materialized demonic energy was inserted into the earth, and frost began to spread from it as a starting point. The speed of spreading was visible to the naked eye, and within a few breaths, Hiei was completely frozen in a block of ice.

"I am... a person you must never forget."

The girl took off the hood on her head, revealing ice-blue hair and a cute face.

Snowflakes drifted down.

The entire Kubikiri Island was covered in white.

Hiei, who was frozen, disappeared into the passage with a wave of her hand.

"Hiei!"

Yusuke exclaimed and was about to rush up to stop her, but was instead stopped by Kurama, who had stood up.

"That..."

Yotsuya Jianzi looked at the red-haired beautiful man in front of her and swallowed hard. Unlike the previous two, she couldn't imagine a scene where she defeated Kurama no matter what.

Besides the Southern Dipper Emerald Fist, the only other small spells Jianzi knew were those passed down by Yakumo Yukari, and she was best at forcibly contracting shikigami, freeloading off various mountain gods and wild shrines.

How could she possibly win!

"Don't be afraid, this one is also a demon fox. Just go up and contract him while crying. He won't be able to stand it."

Jia Ji shouted from behind, not afraid of the chaos.
