Because he knew that Huang Zuxiong's palm must be more than just cold.
People who practice martial arts can withstand severe cold as long as they develop their true energy and inner strength. When Gu Yanzhou was practicing martial arts when he was a child, he would often stand shirtless in the ice and snow for six or seven hours at a time.
Gu Yanzhou unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the nearest ice crystal.
Just when his hand was about to touch the ice crystal, the ice crystal seemed to sense the temperature between his fingers, and with a swish, it turned into an ice sword and pierced his fingers.
Gu Yanzhou was a master at the pinnacle of energy transformation, so of course he would not be frightened by this ice sword. His true energy instinctively condensed into his fingers and was released into a sword, which collided with the cold light of the ice sword.
There was a clang in the air, like metal weapons clashing, and the ice sword's cold light dissipated and turned into a wisp of white smoke.
Many ice crystals around him seemed to be activated by this, and they turned into sword energy and shot towards him.
Gu Yanzhou waved his ten fingers in succession, releasing streams of true energy. There was a constant clanking sound in the air, and wisps of white smoke rose up.
Fortunately, the concentration of ice crystals around him was not high, and after a while, they all turned into white mist.
Even so, Gu Yanzhou was also startled, as if he was exhausted after walking through the gates of hell. His back was soaked with sweat.
A few ice crystals made a master at the peak of his strength unable to cope with it. He tried his best and almost lost his life. This is the horror of a master!
Gu Yanzhou couldn't help but be a little worried. Li Muchen, who was in the center of the ice, would have to face the biting cold air and murderous intent!
Huang Zuxiong still stood there steadily, with his palms upright and palms facing forward. The chill from all directions was still gathering, as if the winter cold in the entire community and even Shenzhou had been borrowed by him.
Looking at Li Muchen again, he seemed to be an ancient creature frozen in the ice. It had long lost the characteristics of life and was motionless.
Is the power of the Grandmaster really so terrifying?
Gu Yanzhou became more and more nervous, so nervous that his whole body was trembling.
Huang Zuxiong laughed and said: "Yes, yes, young people, it is not easy to persist until now. I have said that arrogance has to pay a price. While I can still speak, I will bow my head and admit my mistake now."
I have taken back the ice energy. If you persist in it, I won’t be able to take it back after a while.”
Gu Yanzhou didn't dare to take a breath. How much he hoped that Li Muchen could fight back. But it seemed impossible. The sporadic ice sword energy just now made him feel how terrifying the master was, and what he faced was not as good as what Li Muchen faced.
Just in case.
"Why, you can't even speak?" Huang Zuxiong seemed a little disappointed, "If you can't hold on, just give up!"
"Is that all?" Li Muchen suddenly said, "It's a bit disappointing!"
"You..." Huang Zuxiong was taken aback, "Humph, then I'll let you taste the power of real ice energy!"
After saying that, he suddenly retracted the single palm standing in front of him, opened his arms, and took a sharp breath. The temperature of the surrounding space suddenly dropped a little, and snowflakes actually started to float in the sky in the square.
The chill between heaven and earth condensed and turned into a murderous aura.
Countless bright ice crystals condensed into a huge ice sword on Huang Zuxiong's head.
Huang Zuxiong's mouth moved slightly, but no sound came out, but Gu Yanzhou seemed to hear the word "kill".
The voice echoed in his mind, and then, a powerful ice sword energy, accompanied by indescribable murderous intent, suddenly stabbed Li Muchen.
Gu Yanzhou couldn't describe this sword.
Although the sword was invisible, the power contained in the sword energy was something he had never seen in his life. If he faced such a sword, let alone resisting or hiding, it would just be the killing blow before the sword energy was released.
The thought was enough to make his liver and gallbladder split, and his soul was in ecstasy.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the space seemed to be torn apart.
When the sword arrived in front of Li Muchen, he saw Li Muchen gently raise his hand and pointed one finger at the tip of the sword energy.
The sword stopped in the air and could not move any further.
Space seems to be distorting.
Huang Zuxiong's face was also distorted.
The snow fell, as if blocked by something, staying in mid-air and no longer falling to the ground. It slowly condensed into the shape of a sword.
The sword energy was covered with snowflakes.
Huang Zuxiong's eyes gradually revealed an incredible look.
Li Muchen, on the other hand, still had a calm expression on his face, as if he had not changed since ancient times.
"Is that all?"
Li Muchen shook his head, seeming a little disappointed.
Then, gently push forward with your fingertips.
The sword covered with snowflakes became deformed and twisted.
With a bang, the sword energy exploded, and the snowflakes and ice crystals turned into white mist.
Thick white fog covered the entire square, blocking people's sight and no one could see anyone.
When the white fog slowly dissipated, the square returned to the same calm as before.
Gu Yanzhou saw that Huang Zuxiong seemed to be standing a few steps away, and his face was full of shock, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"I lost!"
Huang Zuxiong stood for a long time and finally spoke.
There was a bit of despair in his voice.
"Unexpectedly, I, Huang Zuxiong, have been in seclusion for several years. I thought that after I came out of seclusion, I would achieve martial arts achievements that few others could match. Unexpectedly, I was not even as good as a young man. I still want to negotiate a maritime trade route with Kowloon Island. It's really ridiculous!
"
Then he cupped his fist towards Li Muchen:
"Young Master Li, I was the one who offended you just now. We have a destiny of life and death. You can take my life no matter what. You just want to give me a happy life and leave me a little face. It's not about my good face, but it's about preserving some dignity for the name of a martial arts master."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and stood tall, with a trace of pride still on his desperate face.
Li Muchen shook his head and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. You are not a heinous person. You didn't have any intention of killing me just now. Why should I kill you?"
Huang Zuxiong opened his eyes, seemingly surprised, and said: "But the ice energy I used just now is a killing technique."
Li Muchen said: "Martial arts skills are used on people. If they are used for life, they will live, and if they are used for death, they will die. The choice of life and death only depends on one mind."
Huang Zuxiong was slightly surprised and said with shame: "Ashamed, I have practiced martial arts all my life and lived for nearly a hundred years, and no young man has ever seen it clearly. Mr. Li was able to surpass the master of martial arts at a young age and step into the realm of innate and immortal beings."
I admire you for your appearance! Since the young master won’t kill me, I have a merciless request, and I ask the young master to agree to it.”
"What?" Li Muchen asked.
"I want to take the young master as my teacher!" Huang Zuxiong said sincerely.
Gu Yanzhou next to him wondered if he had heard wrongly.
What's the point of this! The Huang family of Shenzhou, a generation of masters, Huang Zuxiong, who was so murderous just now, suddenly wants to become Master Li as his disciple? What kind of script is this!
In addition to being shocked, Gu Yanzhou also felt a little regretful. Why didn't I think of becoming a master? This Huang Zuxiong's mind is really fast. No wonder he is a master!
