In the cave, Fade Chen glanced out, and seemed to be faintly aware that the slight fluctuation in the water mirror disappeared at this moment.
So, he wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, rushed out of the cave with a sway, and plunged into the ice and snow forest, where his figure quickly disappeared.
The scene of being injured and vomiting blood just now was deliberately shown by Fade Chen in front of Shui Jing.
In fact, he wasn't hurt at all.
Facing Akabane's ultimate attack at that time, Fade Chen directly used the aura of his soul to invade into Akabane's divine sea.
Akabane Martial Arts is strong, but Shenhai is not that powerful. After being invaded by Fade Chen's soul, the protection of Shenhai was broken, and a brief dizziness occurred.
Seizing this opportunity, Fade Chen made a bold move, killing Akabane with one blow.
Of course, in order not to be seen by the outside experts, and in order not to expose his strength in advance. Fade Chen then pretended to be injured and fled, deliberately letting Shui Jing catch it.
Everyone outside turned their attention away from Fade Chen and focused on other players.
Watching a famous player, there was not a single conflict, which made some viewers feel a little bored.
After all, in the early stage, these players almost acted in groups, trying their best to find tokens. Even if he happened to meet an opponent occasionally, he still chose to give in in the end instead of fighting on the spot.
Thus, the first day of the contestants in Frost Valley passed quietly.
Except for the battle between Akabane and Fade Chen, there was never another battle.
As night fell, the audience who watched the whole day also felt a little tired. Except for the people inside the various family forces, or a few people who paid special attention, most of the audience went home to rest.
At this time, Fade Chen quietly poked his head out of a bush in the night, observed the surrounding environment, determined a direction, and rushed out.
After resting and thinking yesterday, Fade Chen clarified his goal.
In this final, on the surface, as City Master Gu said, the champion is determined based on the number of tokens each contestant finally gets.
But at the same time, City Lord Gu also said that he buried the ten-thousand-year ice core rewarded by the champion in Frost Valley.
Therefore, instead of collecting tokens everywhere, it is better to go directly to the ten thousand year ice core.
In the end, these players will definitely meet together, and a big battle will inevitably occur. At that time, the tokens will be directly grabbed from their hands.
Moreover, for Chen Fei, he has a great advantage in finding the ten thousand year ice core, that is the ice soul orb.
The ten-thousand-year ice core, as the name suggests, must be a treasure of the ice attribute. Even if Fade Chen had never seen it before, he couldn't find the ten-thousand-year ice core directly.
But he can use the Ice Soul Orb to detect the concentration of the icy aura in Frost Valley. The place where the icy aura is the strongest is most likely where the ten thousand year ice core is located.
So, as soon as the sky was getting brighter the next day, Fade Chen injected the breath of soul into the Ice Soul Orb, and began to detect the chill around him.
It has to be said that the Ice Soul Orb worked very well, and the chill in Frost Valley became extremely clear under the exploration of the Ice Soul Orb. Fade Chen can easily judge the intensity of the chill through the colors of the chill.
So, Fade Chen went all the way, heading towards the depths of Frost Valley.
After walking for more than an hour, Fade Chen felt that the surrounding chill was much stronger. It seemed that he had entered the depths of Frost Valley, and the surrounding ice and snow were obviously much thicker.
However, just when Fade Chen was about to move on, he suddenly stopped, hid behind a stone, and looked forward.
On a flat ground hundreds of meters ahead, there were two people standing.
Taking a closer look, Fade Chen discovered that the two were acting alone, Xing Han, who was ranked second in the Martial Arts Department of Nanyan Academy, and Gu Qingxi, the daughter of the city lord.
At this moment, the two stood opposite each other.
Holding a long sword, Gu Qingxi looked cold, looked at Xing Han in front of him, and said, "Xing Han, do you want to compete with me for the token?"
Xing Han shook his head and said, "I'm not very interested in tokens."
"Then what do you mean by stopping me?" Gu Qingxi asked.
Xing Han said in a deep voice, "Challenge you."
"Challenge me?" Gu Qingxi frowned, and said, "In this martial arts final, the competition is based on the number of tokens. Are you sure you want to challenge me now? This way, it's not good for either of us."
Xing Han shook his head and said, "Since the rules for the number of tokens in the competition were set, this championship is destined to belong to those powerful players who are in a group. This is not a fair competition at all."
"Since it is doomed to win the championship, I am not here for the championship. I want to sharpen myself and take a step forward in martial arts."
After listening to Xing Han's words, Gu Qingxi frowned slightly, stared at Xing Han and said, "You want me to be your whetstone!"
"You can think so?" Xing Han looked serious, and the big knife in his hand was drawn out.
Gu Qingxi raised her head slightly, with a look of arrogance on her face, and said: "If you want me to be your whetstone, then be careful, I will sharpen your knife."
Xing Han did not flinch, and said: "If I lose, it means my skills are inferior to others, I admit it."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, Gu Qingxi didn't bother to say much, drew out his long sword, pointed at Xing Han, and shouted, "Then let's do it."
"call!"
In an instant, the two moved, and their figures were like the wind, bringing out an afterimage, and they collided together.
Xing Han held a broadsword, while Gu Qingxi used a long sword.
The sword burst out with vigor, collided and impacted in the air, raising ice and snow all over the sky.
The sword energy roared, and the sword intent slashed.
In the blink of an eye, the two had gone through hundreds of tricks.
Suddenly, the noisy scene stopped and returned to calm.
Gu Qingxi withdrew his long sword, looked at Xing Han coldly, and said, "You lost!"
Xing Han also withdrew his sword, said a word, turned around and left, "I'm defeated!"
Fade Chen, who was hiding behind the stone, saw this scene, and sighed silently, "This Xing Han seems to be a martial idiot!"
Immediately, he was about to leave.
But, just when Fade Chen was about to leave.
Suddenly, a sword qi whizzed over and hit the stone where Fade Chen was hiding.
At the same time, a soft shout sounded, "Who, come out!"
"boom!"
The sword energy hit the stone and exploded it.
Holding a long sword in his hand, Gu Qingxi flew towards him.
Xing Han, who was about to leave, also had a serious face, and drew out his sword with awe-inspiring fighting spirit.
Fade Chen didn't expect that Gu Qingxi's senses were so keen, and he even noticed himself, so he hurriedly opened a distance, and said at the same time: "It's me!"
Seeing that it was Fade Chen, Gu Qingxi's delicate face showed a look of surprise, and then said vigilantly: "Do you want to grab the token?"
Fade Chen shook his head and explained: "Miss Gu misunderstood, and I have no intention of token. I don't even have a token on me now, I just happened to pass by."
"Just passing by?" Gu Qingxi showed a look of disbelief.
Seeing this, Fade Chen said: "If Ms. Gu doesn't believe it, I will leave right now."
With that said, Fade Chen took a few steps back.
Gu Qingxi stared at Fade Chen, seeing that he really didn't intend to snatch it, and he was slightly relieved.
After all, Gu Qingxi can still vividly remember the scene of fighting the Heiyan phosphorescent python in the cave before.
Gu Qingxi is not sure about the extent of Fade Chen's strength.
Before the final decisive battle, she didn't want to fight Chen Fei and consume her own strength.
So, now that Fade Chen is willing to leave, she is happy to see it happen.
However, just when Fade Chen was about to leave, Xing Han yelled, "Stop!"
"What do you want to do?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at Xing Han.
Xing Han drew out his sword and said, "I want to challenge you and sharpen my martial arts."
"I'm not interested in playing with you." Fade Chen shook his head, ready to leave.
But Xing Han came after him closely, and a ray of saber slashed directly at him.
"You—" Fade Chen turned sideways, avoiding Xing Han's sword light, and looked at Xing Han with a sullen face, with anger on his face, "Are you sure you want to do it?"
Xing Han looked stern, nodded and said: "On the journey of martial arts, fighting is supported by fighting, and those who are afraid of fighting will not be able to make progress."
When Fade Chen heard the words, he didn't talk nonsense. He snorted coldly, and his speed soared, and he rushed towards Xing Han directly, "Then let's fight."
"good!"
Xing Han was overjoyed, drew out his long knife, and slashed at him.
This knife has a good momentum, but it is not weaker than Akabane, whom Fade Chen had fought before.
But, that's all. To Fade Chen, it was not a threat at all.
Fade Chen pointed at each other and formed a sword. In the snow-capped valley, he drew a stream of red light and slashed down.
"boom!"
The sword collided, and a strong energy burst out, stirring up debris all over the sky, and falling from the sky profusely.
"Good swordsmanship!" Xing Han shouted, his eyes showed excitement, he turned sideways, and drew out a knife again, ready to slash at Fade Chen.
But at this moment, Fade Chen didn't move, but stood quietly at the same spot, with no intention of resisting at all.
Seeing this, Xing Han had a look of doubt in his eyes, and finally the knife light stopped half a meter away from Fade Chen, and did not chop.
"What do you mean? I agreed to the competition, so why not continue. Is this your attitude towards martial arts?" Xing Han said with some dissatisfaction.
Fade Chen looked at Xing Han, and said lightly: "Because, you have already lost."
"I lost, how could it be possible, I—" Xing Han felt a little ridiculous.
But at this moment, Gu Qingxi at the side said, "Xing Han, look at your neck."
When Xing Han heard this, he looked down, his face full of horror.
Because, on his neck, at some point, there was a tiny sword mark.
The sword mark was so light that it could barely scratch his skin, and a thin layer of blood oozed out.
This kind of injury, not to mention Xing Han's master of the eighth level of Yuan Soul Realm, even for ordinary people in the Yuan Realm, it is not a big injury.
However, at this moment, Xing Han's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and a chill surged from his back.
This sword did not hurt him.
But it meant that Fade Chen had the ability to kill it just now, but he didn't do it.
But I didn't even realize it, and I still wanted to continue fighting with Fade Chen.
