The moment the fist clashed, the Ice Hole started to shake violently under the effect of the violently erupting aura of flames. The cave entrance's thick ice and snow melted at this moment, and the earth crumbled as the cave entrance caved in and the entire Ice Hole started to tremble.
The ice formed on the walls of the Ice Hole was hard enough to begin with, so there was no possibility of it collapsing. However, with the eruption of the terrifyingly high temperature, the ice melted in an instant, and without the support of the ice, the snow and the soil that had been thawed naturally fell, burying the entrance to the cave.
The collapse of the cave was extremely terrifying. The area where Situ Lan stood was at the edge of the area where she was affected. Some ice cubes that fell onto her body were blocked by her powerful water magic clothing, so she didn't have any chance of being buried.
Situ Lan never expected Chen Yu to use such a tactic. Seeing the cave entrance collapsing and the path being cut off, she instinctively felt scared.
The collapse continued. Unconsciously, Situ Lan took two steps forward and moved away from the hole. Facing Chen Yu's attack, she used her palm to block it.
Peng! Chen Yu's fist hit Situ Lan's palm and pushed her back. The flexible sword that pierced Chen Yu was pushed away from her chest.
Blood gushed out from the wound, but Chen Yu's expression remained unchanged. The moment the sword left his body, the starlight in his body started to move rapidly, dispelling the powerful Astral Energy from his body that was being invaded by the Spirit Treasure.
Rumble
The collapse of the Ice Hole continued to increase.
Situ Lan's face turned pale as she pounced towards Chen Yu. The tip of her sword released a rippling water glow. The sword aura was sharp and it stabbed towards Chen Yu once again. It didn't move away from Chen Yu's chest.
Seeing that Situ Lan was going all out, Chen Yu pushed off the ground with his toes and quickly retreated.
Situ Lan's sword missed, but the sword aura that was released from it hacked violently at the rock wall, as if pouring oil on fire. The crushed earth and ice fell, and the speed at which the collapse spread increased. It could be said that it was chasing after Situ Lan's collapse.
Situ Lan saw everything clearly, and her face turned paler and paler.
If this collapse continued to expand, it would definitely cause an avalanche like avalanche to appear. At that time, not to mention her, all of the martial practitioners on this avalanche would suffer a calamity.
When she thought of this, Situ Lan immediately withdrew her sword and didn't dare to attack without restraint.
However, right at this moment, Situ Lan saw Chen Yu's sudden change in speed from a retreat to a retreat. His figure enlarged rapidly in front of her as a fist came smashing down.
"You're shameless!" Situ Lan did not expect Chen Yu to make use of the moment when she had some scruples to launch a sneak attack. She did not expect Chen Yu to make another sword attack.
"Boom!" Chen Yu's punch landed on Situ Lan's arm, making a dull thud in the sealed cave. Situ Lan's strength was not bad, but it was weaker than Chen Yu's. Chen Yu's punch forced her to stagger backward.
Behind Situ Lan, the collapse of the cave had slowed down by quite a bit, but it was still spreading. Situ Lan's retreat had caused soil and rocks to fall on her head, and even though she wasn't heavily injured, the fact that she didn't have a vestment on her head made her cry out in pain.
Before Situ Lan could react, Chen Yu had already arrived like a shadow and pressed down with his palm.
In the end, Situ Lan was a Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage expert. With a flick of her soft sword, she slashed at Chen Yu with her sharp sword.
However, Chen Yu, who had seized the initiative, struck Situ Lan's chest with a palm as fast as lightning. He retreated quickly like a ghost.
Under the situation where Situ Lan subconsciously didn't dare to use her full strength, the slash of the flexible sword actually missed.
However, the Water Spirit Armor on Situ Lan's body circulated unceasingly and had a strong defense. Chen Yu's palm strike only caused the water like Spiritual Energy fluctuation on Situ Lan's body to dim slightly, and his palm strike was dispelled by the power of the water flow.
"You!" With her ample chest being attacked, Situ Lan's expression turned ashen. She was enraged to the point of going berserk as a majestic aura surged from her body. Her aura skyrocketed as she transformed into a Vicious Beast and pounced toward Chen Yu.
When the flow of energy revolved, it immediately filled the entire Ice Hole.
"Stop!" After Chen Yu had retreated a distance, he immediately growled: "Situ Lan, if we continue to fight, our Ice Hole will completely collapse and we will be buried alive!"
Situ Lan threw herself a few meters away, the flexible sword in her hand straightened and thrust forward. She said coldly, "Shameless bastard! Even if I were to be buried, I will kill you!"
With her chest being attacked, Situ Lan already deeply hated Chen Yu. She was determined to deal with Chen Yu first, because she had a strong cloak protecting her, so even if her Ice Hole were to collapse, she still had a much higher chance of survival compared to Chen Yu.
However, at this moment, Situ Lan suddenly sensed something and turned around to give way.
A wisp of red spirit light brushed past Situ Lan's body and flew back into Chen Yu's hand. It turned into a tiny fire bird and flickered with a blazing aura in Chen Yu's palm. It was the fire Spiritual Soul that Chen Yu released before.
The flame Spiritual Soul flew out of Chen Yu's chest and struck the cave entrance, causing the Ice Hole entrance to collapse and disappear. However, the flame Spiritual Soul was a pure spirit body with no substance, so it crawled out from the collapsed soil and flew back.
Chen Yu carried the fire Spiritual Soul and, while Situ Lan was dodging the fire Spiritual Soul, patted the Storage Bag. A long sword flew out and landed in his hands, and the fire Spiritual Soul in his left palm immediately flew towards the sword blade at his command.
The long sword in Chen Yu's hand suddenly exuded a scorching aura.
"Sparrow Fire Sword!" Situ Lan's pupils constricted and her expression turned even more unsightly. She no longer attacked them and instead turned around to look at the collapsed Ice Hole.
The cave entrance had already been completely sealed. According to the memories from before, the entrance was ten meters away from the cave entrance. Fortunately, the cave entrance was now completely sealed. Both of them were temporarily safe.
"Although the Spiritual Soul is weak, Situ Lan, you should be clear about its power if you combine it with the full strength of the Sparrow Fire Sword. The entire cave would collapse because of this. Even to the point where this snowy mountain, where you had dug up countless Ice Hole, would collapse entirely. Do you still think that the powerful vestment you have on you will definitely ensure that you are not buried alive? " Chen Yu obviously knew Situ Lan's scruples. He grinned and said.
"You!" Situ Lan's expression changed a few times as she said angrily, "If worse comes to worst, we'll all perish together. Could it be that you can escape with your life again?"
"Since you've created so many holes on this snowy peak, I naturally can't escape if the mountain collapses!" Chen Yu smiled indifferently and said, "But I only have a lowly life, I can't compare to the life of a genius like you, Situ Lan. If Senior Sister Situ wants to be the same life as me, then I can only feel honored! "
"Bah!" Situ Lan spat, her tone cold and furious, "Who's your senior sister? If you dare spout nonsense again, I will kill you even if I have to die here! "
"If I don't die, I will definitely enter the Ruling Spirit Sect. At that time, wouldn't you be my senior sister?" Chen Yu chuckled.
Situ Lan gritted her teeth as the energy that had just started to return to normal around her increased dramatically.
Chen Yu immediately stopped trying to provoke Situ Lan and said, "Alright, alright, Miss Situ, don't be angry. Let's talk this over and quietly wait for your men to dig the hole. Even if you want to kill me, it won't be too late to kill me after that, right? "
Situ Lan seemed to have calmed down. Although she was unwilling to give up and wanted to swallow Chen Yu alive, she still restrained her aura bit by bit.
She spat again and said coldly, "I will kill you once we leave this cave!"
Chen Yu shrugged and said, "It's not too late to talk about it when we get out. I hope your people can move faster. Otherwise, it's not impossible for us to be suffocated to death!"
Situ Lan's expression couldn't help but turn stiff as her delicate body trembled.
"It seems like you are also afraid of death!" Chen Yu grinned and said.
Situ Lan looked coldly at Chen Yu and didn't say anything.
"In fact, why?" Chen Yu laughed, "We originally had no enmity, but now we are going to fight to the death for you. What a waste!"
"No grudges, no grudges? Your hands are covered in blood, do you have the face to say that? " Situ Lan could not bear to listen any longer and said with a sneer.
Chen Yu sat down on the icy ground and said, "The cause of this matter, wasn't it you who were too domineering, wanting to kill me? I was only forced to counterattack! "
Situ Lan said coldly, "Forced to counterattack? If you weren't coveting the Spirit Connecting Vine, Brother Zhang Gaoming wouldn't have stopped you from escaping from Feng Qiu. Why would he die?
"What a strange logic, Spirit Connecting Vine s can only be your branch sect's disciples, and ordinary warriors cannot interfere? "Who made this rule?" Chen Yu laughed, "In other words, you sub-school disciples can slaughter any ordinary martial artist, and other than the ordinary martial artists who obediently end up getting slaughtered, they can't retaliate. They deserve to be chased down by you if they retaliate. Are they going to die anyway?"
Situ Lan's pretty face scrunched up, unable to find the words to refute him. She could only scold him, "Argument!"
Chen Yu shrugged and suddenly waved to the other side.
The faces of the two warriors who had been peeking at Chen Yu and Situ Lan suddenly turned pale, and after hesitating for a while, they braced themselves and walked over. One of them was the skinny warrior.
The two of them stopped a few meters away from Chen Yu. Their faces were filled with fear and they did not dare to approach him.
"Is there anyone else inside?" Chen Yu asked.
The thin martial artist hesitated for a moment before silently nodding.
"Call everyone out and dig open the hole!" Chen Yu pointed at the cave entrance and said.
"This …" Both of them subconsciously looked at Situ Lan.
Situ Lan did not say anything.
"Still not going?" Chen Yu said, "Don't tell me they want to wait until the air in the cave is exhausted, then everyone will die here!"
The two martial practitioners quivered for a moment. When they saw that Situ Lan didn't have any reaction, they turned around and walked deeper into the cave.
Chen Yu and Situ Lan were speechless.
Very quickly, the skinny martial artist left and returned. Behind him, other than the martial artist from before, there were two more martial practitioners of the fourth level of Heavenly Astral Stage with similarly sluggish expressions and sluggish auras. With a face full of fear, they carefully circled around Situ Lan under Chen Yu's urging and started to use their swords to dig the hole that had collapsed.
After digging for a while, the Ice Hole finally dropped some ice, but luckily, there were no other movements after a few ice shards fell. The four warriors let out a long sigh of relief, then carefully continued digging.
