Chapter 1370: Concealed Ambush

When the snow marten dodged, the spot it had been occupying suddenly emitted five-colored light.

Huh?

What's underneath it?

Ye Liuyun was still puzzled when the snow marten sat back down and continued to attack him with five-colored flowing light.

Hmm?

Could it be that it can only attack from that spot?

Ye Liuyun, realizing this, again seized the opportunity and slashed at it from a distance.

This time, he kept slashing with a second, third strike and so on, forcing the Tianzun Realm snow marten away from its original spot.

The snow marten roared a few times, but could only dodge helplessly.

So that's how it is!

Ye Liuyun also realized then that something must be strange about what lay beneath the snow marten.

He used his Golden Pupil to look and discovered there was actually a hollow there.

The five-colored light was emanating from underground.

Ye Liuyun also noticed that the Grand Hall's ceiling, illuminated by the five-colored light, had already been pierced by a hole.

Ye Liuyun waved his blade to push the snow marten back while quickly advancing toward that spot.

This snow marten is cultivating with that five-colored light!

He guessed as much in his heart.

Just as he was rushing toward the snow marten, his Divine Sense suddenly sensed someone approaching.

He didn't have time to think, and swung a blade backward.

However, when he looked back, he saw no one.

He quickly activated his Golden Pupil and saw a Black-clothed Person running outward.

Xie Tianhong?

From behind, he saw that the figure who had ambushed him resembled Xie Tianhong extremely closely.

He glanced at his blade and saw a drop of blood on it.

But just as he paused, the Tianzun Realm snow marten lay upon the five-colored light again and began to attack him.

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to dodge while retreating from its attack range.

At the Ice Palace entrance, Ye Tiandao was still recovering, and Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw the Black-clothed Person already running toward the far end of the Ice Bridge.

Ye Liuyun smiled and did not give chase.

What's wrong?

Ye Tiandao also looked toward the Ice Bridge, but saw nothing.

Someone just ambushed me, and it seemed to be Xie Tianhong.

The technique he used was somewhat similar to the Shadow Concealment Secret Art.

Ye Liuyun told Ye Tiandao.

You're not hurt, are you?

Ye Tiandao asked him with concern.

Ye Liuyun, however, smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Actually, he's the one I struck with a blade—I don't know where I hit him!

I didn't even sense him coming in!

Ye Tiandao said guiltily.

Don't blame yourself! His realm is higher than yours, and his concealment technique is well cultivated, so it's normal you didn't notice.

I was just worried that when he fled he might lash out at you!

Ye Liuyun retreated because he was worried Xie Tianhong might attack Ye Tiandao.

Shall I take you into the Space World?

So he won't come back later to bother you.

Ye Liuyun suggested.

Wouldn't he discover that you have a Space World?

Ye Tiandao countered.

The fox has already shown its tail; if a major danger arises, I might not be able to look after you! Therefore the Space World can no longer stay hidden—I must guarantee your safety!

Ye Liuyun said.

It's my fault for dragging you down, Master!

Ye Tiandao said helplessly.

If she enters the Space World, it will cause Ye Liuyun to reveal an additional ability.

Xie Tianhong will surely guess that Ye Liuyun's spatial power is not weak either.

But if she doesn't go in, then when danger arises Ye Liuyun will still have to divide his attention to protect her.

Don't be so formal with me! Hurry back and rest—don't overthink it!

Ye Liuyun comforted her with a sentence, then directly transferred her into the Space World.

Afterward, he again gripped his blade and charged toward the Grand Hall.

But after just two steps, he vanished from the snow marten's sight.

Ye Liuyun, having received a hint from Xie Tianhong, also employed the Shadow Concealment Secret Art.

Now the snow marten grew tense, knowing Ye Liuyun was using a concealment technique.

So it stared straight ahead, its whole body infused.

After watching for a while without finding anything, it began to attack at will, spraying the five‑colored flowing light everywhere, shattering all the ice sculptures within its attack range.

Suddenly, a blade intent slashed out from its side.

Ye Liuyun's figure also flashed into view.

The snow weasel tried to retreat and dodge, but unexpectedly, the space around it was suddenly locked.

In desperation, it raised its two paws and hard‑blocked Yi Dao from Ye Liuyun.

"Ding—ding—" a few crisp sounds, and the snow weasel's sharp claws actually blocked Ye Liuyun's powerful blade intent…

The snow weasel's spatial power was indeed a bit weak, and it failed to break free from Ye Liuyun's seal immediately.

"Then another Yi Dao!"

Ye Liuyun raised his hand and delivered another Yi Dao, then kept slashing out more than ten strikes.

"Ding—ding—" rang loudly, the snow weasel's claws were sliced off a few, but it managed to block.

"Aoo!"

The snow weasel roared in anger, finally breaking Ye Liuyun's spatial seal; it opened its mouth, ready to spew the five‑colored light again.

Ye Liuyun immediately employed spatial power again, shifting the snow weasel a bit aside.

The snow weasel opened its mouth, but this time nothing was expelled.

"No more tricks, huh?"

Ye Liuyun smiled and used spatial displacement to attack the snow weasel.

He had already discovered the snow weasel's weakness: its spatial power was extremely weak.

It was probably involved in few battles, so its experience was limited.

Nevertheless, the snow weasel's realm was still present, granting it some resistance; thus it used True Essence to directly shield itself against Ye Liuyun's spatial power.

Ye Liuyun smiled as he approached the snow weasel, delivering a full‑force Yi Dao toward its neck.

The snow weasel had to resist Ye Liuyun's spatial power and block this Yi Dao, while its body was confined in a cramped space, unable to dodge.

In desperation, it raised its paw again to block.

But this time, it blocked nothing.

Ye Liuyun's blade suddenly vanished, and when it reappeared, it was already about to cut its neck.

This Yi Dao also employed spatial power, so it leapt over the snow weasel's swiping paw and struck straight at the head.

The snow weasel, still holding up its paw, hadn't reacted before its head was sliced off by Ye Liuyun.

"Huh! Luckily this guy lacks experience!"

Ye Liuyun exhaled, sealed the snow weasel's corpse into Space World, and sent Liang Xue to process its fur and True Essence.

He then took the snow weasel's head, probing the five‑colored light that rose from the ground.

He discovered that the snow weasel's hide could block the five‑colored light, but its flesh could not.

Any flesh that touched the light instantly turned into mushy powder.

Ye Liuyun illuminated the snow weasel's head flesh with the five‑colored light, causing it to melt away, then his hand, through the hide, sensed the light.

"Indeed, it's energy!"

Upon feeling it, Ye Liuyun confirmed that the snow weasel cultivated using these lights.
