Han Shuang suddenly looked at Xie Xiaofeng and asked, "Your name is Xiao Feng, right?"

Xie Xiaofeng nodded his head. This was the first verbal exchange between the two since they had met.

"I have something I would like to ask you," Han Shuang asked anxiously, furrowing her brow, "Are those two friends of yours formidable?"

Startled, Xie Xiaofeng nodded and said with certainty, "Very formidable! Which one do you like?"

Han Shuang also nodded, "He is the bravest warrior of our Snow Mountain Tribe!"

Afterwards, both of them let out a sigh of lament with the hope of stopping each other's friends from fighting.

However, at this moment, tens of thousands of miles away, Chen Hao had already reached the ultimate phase of his fierce battle with Tu Yi.

With the advantage in Spiritual Power, Chen Hao gradually compensated for his inferiority in speed and gained the upper hand in the combat with Tu Yi.

His Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, charged with a great amount of Nether King's Power, had rendered Tu Yi unable to counter, forcing him to constantly dodge.

If it weren't for Tu Yi holding an advantage in moving speed, he would have already fallen under the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade.

"Bang!" A sound erupted as Chen Hao's Nether King's World-Slaying Blade narrowly missed Tu Yi. Then, a long black beam of light tore through the air, carrying a howling and bracing Sword Qi towards the front, splitting a nearby mountain into two.

"Ah, so close!" At that moment, Ye Yuqiao's disappointed voice echoed in Chen Hao's mind, "Chen Hao, put in more effort; you're just a little bit away."

Chen Hao showed a helpless expression; ever since he had started the fight with Tu Yi until now, the voice of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body had been relentless.

But it was also thanks to the spur of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body that he had been able to turn the tide of battle so quickly.

"I will, the next move will definitely hit him," Chen Hao replied to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Having said that, he sought the Spiritual Power on Tu Yi's body to sense his position and discovered that Tu Yi was now standing atop a nearby snow mountain.

Just as he was about to head there, he suddenly felt the Spiritual Power within his body beginning to flow back into the Nether King's Heart.

Startled, he then tried to drive the Nether King's Power to flow out of the Nether King's Heart, only to realize that the Nether King's Power was out of control.

"Chen Hao, what's wrong?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body sensed something was amiss.

"I don't know what's wrong; the Nether King's Heart seems to be out of my control!"

No sooner had Chen Hao spoken than Tu Yi appeared before him.

With a "bang," their blades clashed once again. However, due to the reduced Nether King's Power inside him, this time Chen Hao's Nether King's World-Slaying Blade couldn't withstand Tu Yi's Ice Sword, and he was struck flying.

By the time he had flown out over a hundred meters, Tu Yi had also reached his position.

Tu Yi didn't rush to attack again but said, "Your Spiritual Power has been weakened by my spell; you're no match for me. I don't want to kill you; I only want to kill her!"

Saying this, Tu Yi looked toward Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Chen Hao was startled and asked, "Why do you only want to kill her?"

Tu Yi didn't immediately reply to Chen Hao, but used his Ice Sword to swiftly inflict countless wounds on Chen Hao's body, leaving him severely injured before speaking, "Killing her, I can be with the one I love."

After speaking, Tu Yi vanished in front of Chen Hao.

Chen Hao's eyes glinted, then he sent a secret message to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, "Little Nether, be careful!"

Just as the words left his mouth, he heard a shrill scream from Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Her right chest had been pierced by Tu Yi's Ice Sword!

Following that, the blood flowing from her body melted the Ice Sword, which then transformed into a blaze of Purgatory Fire lunging at Tu Yi.

Tu Yi disappeared again, evading the fierce flames.

"Uh!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body emitted another scream as Tu Yi reached behind her and once again thrust the ice spike into her body.

"Aow!" Xiao Bai let out a fierce roar towards Tu Yi.

Tu Yi glanced back at Xiao Bai, then disappeared, before appearing again to stab Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body with another sword.

Just as he thrust the sixth sword, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly transformed into a Firebird and flew towards the high sky.

Tu Yi chased after it, channeling a massive amount of Spiritual Power into the Ice Sword before stabbing at the Firebird.

After three stabs, the Firebird, igniting all its blood, was engulfed in in Purgatory Fire.

Seeing this, Tu Yi dared not rashly approach any closer, lest he be burnt to ashes at any moment.

He hovered in the high sky, eyes closed, concentrating deeply.

Shortly thereafter, a thick layer of ice and snow enveloped the entire night sky above.

Feeling the rapid drop in temperature around her, the Firebird incarnation of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body raised its head before spraying Purgatory Fire towards the mass of ice and snow.

At this moment, Tu Yi opened his eyes and shouted, "Ice Sword Array!"

As soon as his words fell, the mass of ice and snow covering the sky suddenly turned into countless Ice Swords, raining down towards the Firebird.

The raging Purgatory Fire spat out by the Firebird could only negate a few of the Ice Swords. When it tried to spit out more Purgatory Fire to eliminate the remaining Ice Swords, it realized it was already too late.

Watching the Ice Swords pour down like a torrential rain upon the Firebird, Tu Yi was thrilled to his core. In but the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Ice Swords, filled with coldness and Spiritual Power, would pierce through the Firebird's body, killing the woman that the Snow Mountain Tribe Clan Leader had ordered him to dispose of.

This way, he would finally get his wish to be with Han Shuang.

However, he was not granted even that blink of an eye.

A surge of Yang Energy suddenly sprang up from beneath the Firebird, forming a golden Yang Energy Shield that blocked the rain of swords for the Firebird.

Tu Yi looked down, his face ashen as he said, "It's you again!"

The one who saved Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body at the critical moment was, of course, Chen Hao.

Tu Yi was severely vexed, regretting not having killed Chen Hao outright just then.

In fact, he had no way to kill Chen Hao. To him, Chen Hao was an undying big nuisance.

"Little Nether, change back to human form quickly!" Chen Hao called urgently to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

With that, he leaped into the air, flying towards the Firebird.

Immediately, the flames on the Firebird faded away, reverting back to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Just as Chen Hao was about to catch Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, Tu Yi suddenly attacked her Nether Soul Body.

With a "Bang!"

To Tu Yi's surprise, Chen Hao, whose Spiritual Power had been weakened, was still able to catch his sword.

But this time, what blocked his Ice Sword was not the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, but another sword.

It was the Ruthless Sword, which had been hidden inside Chen Hao's body.

"Do you think I have Spiritual Power?" Chen Hao asked Tu Yi, then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, continuing, "I can actually also wield a sword, a real sword!"

With that said, a swirl of Sword Qi emerged on the Ruthless Sword, transforming into eight invisible, spinning Sword Qi striking at Tu Yi.

Tu Yi was startled and immediately moved back several hundred meters, the eight spinning Sword Qi crisscrossing in pursuit of him.

At this time, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body landed on Chen Hao's back.

"Little Nether, hold on to me tight, I won't let you get hurt again."
