Chapter 232 Battle against the White Lotus Saint Master

Although they didn't dislike Yan Chu.

After all, he was handsome, powerful, and world-renowned.

But not every female Disciple of the Ice Demon Sect thought this way; they were Martial Artists with independent personalities, pursuing the Peak of the Martial Dao.

But as the saying goes, they would follow whoever won!

If Yan Chu won, even if they were reluctant in their hearts, they would likely have no choice but to obey the Sect Master's orders and use all their skills to please him.

If the White Lotus Holy Master won, they would likely have to join the Holy Lotus Sect.

It was said that the Holy Lotus Sect used Medicinal Pills to control their subordinates, which wasn't a good option either.

But in front of a Deva, they no longer had any room to choose.

Hadn't they seen that even Sect Master Wang had been easily tortured by Yan Chu until he wished he were dead?

This was a Supreme Grandmaster at the Peak of the Ninth Realm.

The Ice Demon Sect's Third Elder Guo Suxi and Eighth Elder Tang Peiyun looked at each other, a flush appearing on both of their flawless white faces.

Just now, in front of so many people, they had said such embarrassing words.

At this moment, the two women's thoughts were complicated.

By comparison, they still hoped Yan Chu would win.

If Yan Chu lost, those words and the mocking looks of the crowd would likely haunt them for the rest of their lives.

But if Yan Chu won...

If they became Yan Chu's women, their status would likely be even higher than the Sect Master's; even if people gossiped behind their backs, they would never dare show it to their faces.

In short, because of what had just happened, the hearts of the two women had already leaned toward Yan Chu's side.

Bang!

On the square, Yan Chu's blade finger emitted a heaven-shaking killing intent, a single strike breaking through the endless white lotus and slashing toward the White Lotus Holy Master.

Swish!

Her figure was like a dream or a bubble, dissipating instantly.

"Heavenly Blade Realm?!"

The White Lotus Holy Master's charming voice appeared at Yan Chu's side.

Hundreds of meters away in the sky, her robes fluttering as she stepped on a pure white lotus, she avoided Yan Chu's strike with the Holy Lotus Sect's secret technique, the White Lotus Instant Step.

At this moment, her jade-white face grew a bit more solemn.

If it were just the opening of the Spiritual Divine Treasury, it wouldn't be much, but with the addition of the Heavenly Blade Realm, even she felt it was somewhat troublesome.

Blade Demon Yan Chu, a name well-deserved!

Pop!

The White Lotus Holy Master extended a slender jade finger, a small lotus growing from her fingertip, growing larger with the wind until it was the size of a washbasin.

With a flick of her finger, the lotus floated down toward Yan Chu, its path completely unpredictable.

But in the eyes of the spectators, it felt as if the lotus was falling toward them, unavoidable and inescapable.

Everyone's faces turned pale as they screamed and retreated in haste.

"Humph!"

Yan Chu gave a cold snort, his Primordial Spirit shining brightly, causing the illusions before everyone's eyes to vanish, leaving only the white lotus falling toward him.

Yan Chu could not avoid this single white lotus.

What seemed like just a tiny white lotus contained world-destroying power.

If it wasn't blocked, the entire Ice Demon Sect would be turned into ruins.

No one here would survive!

Buzz!

Blade light pulsed from the edge of Yan Chu's palm as he delivered a strike.

His self-created blade technique, the Heaven-Severing Style!

A single strike severed the white lotus from reality; the moment the blade light touched the lotus, a terrifying explosive force erupted like a mountain collapse or a tsunami, the entire sky filling with blade light and True Essence.

But the scene was extremely strange!

All of this eruption occurred several zhang above the Ice Demon Sect, with none of the aftershocks affecting the square below.

It was as if an invisible blade had severed the space above from the space below.

This was the Heaven-Severing Style, severing the white lotus as if the collision had happened in two different worlds.

...

Zhu Qingluan walked out of the hall, her eyes wide with shock as she watched the battle.

She had only seen descriptions of battles between Devas in the records of the Wind Listening Pavilion.

She had never seen what a real battle between Devas was like.

At this moment, she couldn't help but step out.

As it happened, she saw the scene where Yan Chu's strike seemed to sever the space above and below.

The exploding True Essence and blade light above took a long time to subside.

One could imagine that if it had fallen below, the entire Snow Ridge would have been blasted through.

In the next moment, Yan Chu stepped into the Void Realm and soared straight up.

Activating the Unrestrained Ascension Step, he instantly closed in on the White Lotus Holy Master, his palm-blade sweeping across her snow-white neck.

Unsurprisingly, this strike missed, slicing the White Lotus Holy Master's afterimage in half.

Her movement technique was not inferior to Yan Chu's Unrestrained Ascension Step.

"White Lotus Life and Death!"

Having dodged Yan Chu's strike, the White Lotus Holy Master's red lips parted slightly as she pointed her fingers at him.

Crack!

Yan Chu countered with a finger strike of his own; the Void Realm seemed to emit a cracking sound under this finger, as if it were splitting open.

"Humph!"

Yan Chu snorted coldly, his blood and Qi surging with enough power to move mountains as he pushed the White Lotus Holy Master away; lightning flashed and thunder roared around him, and even the falling snowflakes seemed to turn into blade light, forcing her to retreat.

The two turned into two streaks of rainbow light, soaring straight into the sky, crossing hundreds of miles in an instant as they traversed the East Great Snow Ridge and arrived at the shores of the Eastern Sea.

Where the two clashed, a mark was left in the Void Realm that would not dissipate for a long time.

This mark was like a forbidden zone of death, stretching across the horizon.

On the shore of the Eastern Sea, large sheets of ice floated in the deep winter season, with the deep seawater further out.

The moment the two of them descended, the White Lotus Holy Master suddenly broke away.

Yan Chu's blade swept across, cleaving an endless abyss into the surface of the sea ahead; waves rose dozens of meters high, and looking down from above, this blade mark was nearly a hundred miles long, with everything in between neatly divided.

"Hehe~"

Standing high in the sky, the White Lotus Holy Master let out a charming laugh and looked at Yan Chu with a teasing gaze, saying:

"You have been struck by my White Lotus Life and Death; it will follow you like a maggot on a bone, not vanishing until it has sucked dry all your essence, Qi, and spirit."

The so-called White Lotus Life and Death involved nourishing a pure white lotus on the enemy's body with their Three Treasures.

This lotus would bring death, yet it was full of vitality.

It was a great medicine produced using the human body as nourishment, only coming into being upon the host's death.

That strike just now had seemed like she was being pushed back by Yan Chu.

But in reality, she had taken advantage of the moment their fingertips touched to plant the white lotus on Yan Chu.

Yan Chu looked at his index finger.

A tiny white lotus mark appeared there, only the size of a grain of rice, but it was frantically absorbing his True Essence and rapidly growing.

"Hehe, a mere trick!"

Yan Chu sneered disdainfully, blade light bursting from his index finger as he unleashed the Heaven-Severing Style against the white lotus mark; with a soft pop, a streak of white light fell from his fingertip.

It fell to the ground and turned into a head-sized white lotus, its roots quickly growing and taking hold in the sand.

This was a white lotus that had devoured a tiny bit of Yan Chu's True Essence; for a powerhouse at the Grandmaster level, it would be a rare and precious medicine.

The White Lotus Holy Mother looked deeply at Yan Chu.

"The Heavenly Blade Realm is indeed extraordinary!"

"In that case, take another move from me!"

"Floating World Lotus Palm!"

A plain white palm print covered the sky, pressing down toward Yan Chu from afar, blanketing an area of over ten miles.

Beneath the palm print, countless white lotuses clustered together.

Within each white lotus, a human face appeared; every face was that of the White Lotus Holy Master, with a myriad of expressions and different gazes, creating a bizarre scene.
