Chapter 94: Chapter 94: The Duck That Got Away
"Entering the tiger’s den to get the tiger cub."
Gu Chenfeng spread his hands and smiled, his gaze fixed on the black-clad man, showing not a trace of fear.
"Brother Feng, he has ice attributes too." Wan’er transmitted her voice, "In the Frozen World, it’s common for people to snatch attributes. He probably wants to seize our ice attributes too."
"His ice attribute is somewhat strange. I sense a faint ice attribute around us that seems to be capable of merging with the water attribute."
Gu Chenfeng nodded slightly, giving Wan’er a reassuring look.
The black-clad man grinned and said, "Young and fearless, bold and commendable, truly admirable."
"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Chenfeng cupped his hands politely.
Turning his gaze to Wan’er, the black-clad man smiled again, "Saintess Wan’er, meeting you in the Frozen World is truly rare."
Wan’er’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, remaining vigilant against the black-clad man.
Wan’er’s status was exalted, known by all in the Cultivation Realm, and no one dared to provoke her wherever she went.
But in the Frozen World, even the Saintess was not feared by others.
After all, the mighty outside didn’t know what happened in the Frozen World, no matter how strong they were.
"The battle among the powerful above isn’t for us to meddle in. Uncle, you should keep safe, farewell." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, intending to pull Wan’er away.
"You probably won’t be able to leave." The black-clad man smiled slightly, and a powerful burst of ice attribute spiritual power suddenly erupted.
The black-clad man’s right hand twisted slightly, and massive water screens suddenly formed around them, like a cage directly trapping Gu Chenfeng and Wan’er.
Gu Chenfeng frowned and thought to himself, "His ice attribute can also control the surrounding water attribute to form a barrier. To be precise, they can transform into one another."
"Clearly ill-intentioned." Wan’er said coldly, as her body surged with ice attribute spiritual power, and her ice power became extremely violent.
Wan’er grabbed with a jade hand, and the King’s Sword of Ice Attribute appeared out of thin air, its imposing momentum bursting forth.
In an instant, Wan’er’s ice power surged tremendously, directly rising to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
But alas, it was merely the late stage of the Golden Core, still far from the middle stage of the Soul Emergence.
"As expected of the Saintess, the King’s Sword of Ice Attribute is indeed rare." The black-clad man said somewhat excitedly, his eyes unable to hide his greed.
With a cold gaze directed at the black-clad man, Gu Chenfeng frowned and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
"Don’t be nervous." The black-clad man smiled slightly, "I’m a good person, I never kill, you don’t have to be afraid, just cooperate obediently."
As he spoke, the black-clad man formed a sword point with his right hand. A large black gourd suddenly appeared above his head, and the gourd’s mouth condensed a powerful suction, as if intending to suck Gu Chenfeng and Wan’er inside.
"Brother Feng, let’s break out. With our ice power, if we attack with all our might, we should be able to break through." Wan’er frowned, injecting all her ice power into the King’s Sword.
"Don’t waste spiritual power." Gu Chenfeng quickly stopped her, "His ice attribute can transform with the water attribute, and his power is far above ours. Our attacks would be futile, but he can’t do anything to me either."
Even if Gu Chenfeng’s ice power was strong, it was impossible to be monstrous enough to contend with the Soul Emergence stage.
Moreover, Gu Chenfeng never intended to confront the middle stage of the Soul Emergence.
Wan’er asked softly, "Brother Feng, do you have a way?"
"Yes, don’t worry." Gu Chenfeng nodded confidently.
His eyes fixated on the large black gourd, and the moment he felt the strong suction pulling on him, Gu Chenfeng immediately activated his ice attribute spiritual power with all his might.
"Shadow of Space!" Gu Chenfeng silently uttered in his heart, executing his body technique.
In just a split second, Gu Chenfeng and Wan’er suddenly vanished without a sound.
"What?" The black-clad man’s expression drastically changed.
Gu Chenfeng and Wan’er had disappeared right under his nose.
He couldn’t sense any presence at all.
The massive water screens set by the black-clad man completely sealed every direction, and without forcefully breaking through, it was impossible to escape.
Yet Gu Chenfeng and Wan’er had vanished into thin air.
What on earth happened?
"Hmph!" The black-clad man heavily snorted in anger, and terrifying ice power burst forth.
But what shocked the black-clad man even more was that the ice power spread across the entire water screen, yet he still couldn’t sense any presence.
This meant that Gu Chenfeng and Wan’er had already escaped the water screen.
"Amazing! Such a powerful body technique! I underestimated you!" The black-clad man’s face darkened, and with a wave of his hand, he withdrew the water screen.
"Spiritual Technique! Freeze Thousands of Miles!"
Sweeping a fierce gaze around, the black-clad man shouted, unleashing a formidable momentum, terrifying ice attribute spiritual power spreading wildly, accelerating beyond speed.
Would a cooked duck really be allowed to fly away?
Yet, to the black-clad man’s disappointment, even with Freeze Thousands of Miles, he still couldn’t track Gu Chenfeng and Wan’er’s traces.
The two seemed to have just evaporated.
"Unbelievable! How could they have run away!" The black-clad man was furious.
He never imagined a middle-stage Fasting brat could escape right under his watch.
What kind of body technique was so powerful?
The cooked duck had truly flown away.
Unbeknownst to the black-clad man, Gu Chenfeng and Wan’er hadn’t actually fled but were hiding within the ice mountain below.
Gu Chenfeng could completely conceal his presence, and the black-clad man had no way of detecting it.
After a while.
With no direction to pursue, the black-clad man had no choice but to leave.
The battle high above was nearing its end, and the black-clad man didn’t want to miss the chance to seize treasures.
After the black-clad man left.
Wan’er couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Feng, what body technique did you use just now to escape from the barrier?"
Wan’er was genuinely shocked; she had never seen such a powerful body technique before.
The force behind her couldn’t provide such a power, so where did Gu Chenfeng learn it?
Wan’er was certain that the Ancient Divine Sect didn’t possess such a powerful and miraculous body technique.
Gu Chenfeng cautiously eyed the sky and said softly, "A spatial body technique; no barrier, array, or seal can trap me."
"Spatial body technique?" Wan’er widened her bright eyes, utterly astonished, "I’ve never even heard of a spatial body technique, let alone one that can’t be trapped by seals."
Seeing Wan’er’s incredibly shocked face, Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly, "Simply put, it’s similar to an escape technique but much stronger. If Miss Wan’er wants to learn, I can teach you."
"Yes, yes, yes! I want to learn!" Wan’er nodded like a pecking chick, her pretty face full of joyous smiles.
"I’ll teach you when we get back." Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "The battle is nearing its end. We’ll take action when the time is right, and if there’s a chance, we’ll kill that guy."
