Chapter 327: Huo Yutong vs. Long Aotian (Part 2)

The huge ice sculpture fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the next second it shattered with a boom; Long Aotian stood up from the ice crystals covering the ground, his eyes sparkling.

"Not bad, you're indeed formidable!"

In that clash just now, he suffered a big loss.

On the surface he was merely frozen into an ice sculpture and quickly broke free.

However, only he knows how much damage he actually suffered inside.

At the instant of colliding with Huo Yutong, he felt a sharp sword intent coming, yet it felt different from traditional sword intent, more like a fusion of spirit and soul power; after contacting his fist, it began to madly consume his soul power, causing him great loss.

Even now, that power continues to surge wildly inside his body, trying to destroy it.

Compared to him, Huo Yutong merely shattered a sword that could be remade at any time; she clearly had the upper hand.

If Du Bushi were here, he would surely tell him the name of this move: Sovereign of the World.

Huo Yutong's Sovereign of the World had been upgraded in her battle with Ji Juechen; after undergoing nearly a year of deep meditation, her Sovereign of the World in pure realm had surpassed Mu En; combined with the Snow Emperor's Sword Dance and the Ice Jade Scorpion Tail Bone, her close-combat ability is extraordinarily strong.

If anyone judged her close-combat ability as weak based on her usual fighting style, they would surely suffer a loss.

Huo Yutong let out a light sigh.

"I have to admit, I somewhat underestimated you."

She originally thought that even if this sword couldn't defeat Long Aotian, it could at least reduce his combat power by about half.

"Then as compensation, I will go all out next; be careful."

"I couldn't ask for—"

Long Aotian had just shown an excited smile when his gaze suddenly changed.

Huo Yutong's figure suddenly vanished from her spot, and an intense sense of threat came from behind.

Things happened too suddenly; Long Aotian didn't have time to turn around, so he threw a backhand punch toward the direction behind him.

In his haste, this punch's power was even weaker than before; thus familiar cold surged into his body, freezing him again.

Long Aotian was about to break the ice as before, but at that moment an intense feeling of fear rose from within him.

For Long Aotian, a battle maniac, intuition in combat is the most trustworthy; this intuition has saved his life countless times.

He let out a loud shout, and a silvery-white light shone from his body.

The sound wave instantly shattered the ice on his body; the silvery-white light even instantly broke through the protective barrier at the edge of the competition platform, shooting straight into the sky.

At the same time, a terrifying explosion erupted.

Countless ice crystals inside the venue instantly exploded, creating a bone-chilling ice snowstorm that engulfed Long Aotian.

If Long Aotian had not promptly activated the Second Awakening of his Body Martial Soul, this explosion would likely have left him severely injured.

Even now, having used the Second Awakening, he feels terrible; after spitting out a mouthful of blood, the blood didn't have time to fall to the ground before condensing into ice shards in the air.

This soul skill is clearly the Ice Burst Technique.

As a divine skill coveted even by the Ice Emperor, the power of this soul skill is undoubtedly beyond doubt.

Long Aotian panted heavily, not daring to relax; he quickly turned around and looked toward Huo Yutong's direction.

Then his gaze froze.

Huo Yutong was sprinting madly toward him, and beside her appeared a white-clad beauty; she too had snow-white hair and ice-blue eyes like Huo Yutong at this moment, and even their appearances were somewhat similar, to the point that at first glance one might mistake them for sisters.

Long Aotian lacked a god's-eye view, so he wasn't clear about what had just happened, but the audience saw it all clearly.

Huo Yutong first used a soul skill resembling teleportation to appear behind Long Aotian; then the white-clad woman appeared beside her, wielding an imperial sword, and slashed at Long Aotian.

The strike that Long Aotian had just blocked was actually emitted by the white-clad woman.

Huo Yutong then immediately released the Ice Jade Scorpion Tail Bone, with green light surging forth, unleashing the Ice Burst Technique.

Originally Huo Yutong thought that this combo coordinated with the Snow Emperor could send Long Aotian away, but she didn't expect him to decisively unleash the Second Awakening and block her attack again.

But that's fine; if one strike doesn't work, just try another; it's obvious just by looking that Long Aotian's condition is very poor now, so Huo Yutong doesn't need to expend much effort to defeat him.

The referee's face had turned ashen.

He had overseen many matches before, but he had never seen a competition of this level.

Those who know understand this is a clash between a five-ring Soul King and a seven-ring Soul Sage; those who don't might think it's two Titled Douluos continuously unleashing their ultimate abilities.

At least, as a Titled Douluo, he doesn't believe he could defeat anyone present in the arena right now.

How can a match be where the referee is weaker than the competitors? Does this referee even have any purpose?

And the few people on the presidium also had very grim expressions at this moment.

Whether it's Shrek Academy or the Body Sect, to them they are enemies, and the younger generation's strength of both has far exceeded their expectations.

On the field, Long Aotian let out a roar, and then his first, third, and fifth soul rings lit up simultaneously.

Instantly, his massive body began to spin at high speed; the whole space seemed to darken, leaving only the blazing-white Long Aotian glaringly conspicuous.

After undergoing Martial Soul True Body, Heaven-Man Unity, and the silver-rank Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, Long Aotian's strength already surpassed many Titled Douluos; and the soul skill Heaven and Earth Transformation he is now unleashing with full force has power comparable to a full-force strike of a Titled Douluo-level expert.

This is his strongest strike; he also knows he can't delay any longer and must settle the battle quickly.

Facing this strike, Huo Yutong's expression also turned grave.

The next second, another greenish silhouette emerged from beside her.

The Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor exchanged a glance, lightly nodded, then overlapped their hands and surged forward.

The Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors burst forth, confronting Long Aotian's all-out strike.

The blazing white light and the white-green colors collided, making time seem to stretch in that instant.

And in that instant, the outcome was decided.

The blazing white light receded, and Long Aotian's figure was flung backward.

Huo Yutong lightly twisted her waist; the jade-green scorpion tail stabbed out, binding Long Aotian mid-air, the sharp tip pressing against his neck.

She looked at the completely dazed referee and tilted her head.

"Referee, it's time to announce the result."

Oh, oh...

The referee finally came to his senses and hurriedly said, "The match is over, the winner is Huo Yutong!"
