Chapter 3265: The Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox?!

“Junior Sister Linghu, you’re over 700 years old, and you’re an Eight Trigrams Celestial Lord. Isn’t it unfair for you to have a duel with Little Junior Sister?” Lei Jun frowned slightly when he heard Linghu Yuan challenging Huan’er to a duel.

“Second Senior Brother, didn’t you hear master’s words? Little Junior Sister isn’t any weaker than He Wen and me. Don’t you think you’re worrying too much?” Linghu Yuan said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Lei Ying’s response was different from Lei Jun. She turned to Huan’er and asked with a faint smile, “Huan’er, your Third Senior Sister wants to have a duel with you. What do you think?”

Lei Ying was not entirely certain of Huan’er’s strength. Since she wanted to see the extent of Huan’er’s strength, she was naturally not displeased by Linghu Yuan’s request for a duel with Huan’er.

“Alright.” Huan’er nodded

“In that case, you may have a duel.” Lei Ying’s eyes lit up when she heard Huan’er agreeing to the duel. Then, she led the others out of the pavilion and flew up into the sky above the valley.

Duan Ling Tian and the others, naturally, followed suit.

‘An Eight Trigrams Celestial Lord?’ As he was flying, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Linghu Yuan discreetly. Earlier, Lei Jun had said Linghu Yuan was over 700 years old and was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Lord. Based on this, he did not think it was likely that she had comprehended all the profundities from a law to the mastery stage. At most, she might have comprehended seven profundities to the mastery stage. Even then, considering her relatively young age, the chances were not very high. It was more likely that she had comprehended six profundities to the mastery stage.

“Huan’er, since she initiated the duel, there’s no need for you to hold back. Do what you want; just don’t kill her…” Duan Ling Tian said to Huan’er through Voice Transmission. He was aware of Huan’er’s true strength; she was definitely stronger than what she had shown so far. Her advantage was not her cultivation base or the profundities from the law of space that she had comprehended. Her advantage was the inherent techniques she was born with as a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.

In a fight, Huan’er was not a match for Duan Ling Tian if she did not use her inherent techniques as a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. However, if she used her inherent techniques, he thought it was likely that he would be defeated by her unless he asked for help from the Five Divine Elements. With that, he would be able to see through her illusions.

“Okay,” Huan’er replied, “Brother Ling Tian, I won’t hold back because I don’t really like her…”

A hint of glee flashed in the depths of Duan Ling Tian’s eyes when he heard Huan’er’s reply. He knew someone was about to get unlucky.

Huan’er rarely got angry. However, when she was angry, it was not something anyone could bear. Duan Ling Tian was well aware of this.

Meanwhile, Linghu Yuan looked at Lei Jun and asked through Voice Transmission, “Second Senior Brother, do you have a crush on our Little Junior Sister?”

“What are you talking about?” Lei Jun frowned.

“Then why did you take her side earlier? Regardless, I advise you to give up. Look at her. It’s obvious she’s wholeheartedly devoted to the man next to her,” Linghu Yuan continued to say through Voice Transmission. A hint of laughter could be heard in her voice.

Soon after, Lei Ying came to a stop on an empty ground.

Then, Huan’er and Linghu Yuan got into their positions and faced each other from a distance.

“Little Junior Sister, let me see how powerful you are,” Linghu Yuan said with an insincere smile on her face.

As soon as Linghu Yuan finished speaking, Huan’er had already disappeared from where she had stood. Then, she reappeared behind Linghu Yuan.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Nine spatial tears appeared in just a blink of an eye. Then, a grey saber ray shot out from each of the nine spatial tears toward Linghu Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Linghu Yuan instinctively moved to dodge the attacks.

At the same time, Huan’er used her powerful spiritual energy to interfere with Linghu Yuan.

“No!” Linghu Yuan cried out in a shrill voice as she flew away like a gust of wind. Nonetheless, blood could be seen on the ground where she was standing earlier. It was clear that a few of the grey saber rays had landed on her.

‘That… Was that a soul attack?’ Everything happened in a split second; even Lei Ying was stunned. She was not very certain since soul attacks were not her strongest suit. Nevertheless, she could still sense the fluctuations in Huan’er’s spiritual energy with her Divine Consciousness.

Earlier, when the gray saber rays from the Cross Dimensional Slash Profundity were about to land on Linghu Yuan, Lei Ying had already mobilized her Celestial Origin Energy, preparing to rescue Linghu Yuan. However, this was not because she favored Linghu Yuan. It did not matter if it was Huan’er or Linghu Yuan, she would save them if they were in danger. After all, she only had a handful of prodigious disciples. It was only natural that she did not want any harm to come to them.

‘By now, Linghu Yuan should’ve stopped underestimating Huan’er.’ Duan Ling Tian stood aside and watched indifferently. He could see that Linghu Yuan had gotten injured because she had underestimated Huan’er.

Lei Jun was slightly surprised. “Little Junior Sister… is so powerful?”

“That soul attack seems strange,” Ximen Lin Jie said as he narrowed his eyes. However, his expression remained dignified.

“Little Junior Sister, I’ve underestimated you. I won’t hold back anymore,” Linghu Yuan, who had retreated quite a distance away, said coldly. At this time, the smirk on her face had completely disappeared. It was obvious from the look in her eyes that she was about to get serious.

“No one asked you to hold back,” Huan’er replied indifferently.

Huan’er’s indifference and words felt like a slap to the prideful Linghu Yuan.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Linghu Yuan swept out like a gust of wind toward Huan’er. However, her attack missed. By the time she arrived in front of Huan’er, Huan’er had already disappeared from where she was standing.

The two women kept going back and forth; one chasing as the other teleported away. It seemed like they were in a stalemate.

“Little Junior Sister, do you only know how to run away?” Linghu Yuan said impatiently. She was clearly annoyed by Huan’er’s continuous use of the Teleportation Profundity.

For those who comprehend the law of wind, those who comprehend the law of space were their undefeatable rivals. Although Linghu Yuan felt she could catch up with Huan’er’s speed, it would require more effort and time. She did not wish to waste any more time.

“I worry you won’t last long if I stop teleporting,” Huan’er replied indifferently again.

A slightly unnatural expression appeared on the others’ faces, including Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian felt the corners of his lips twitch. He wondered when Huan’er learned to talk like that? Moreover, her tone and words seemed rather familiar. It seemed like he had said something similar before?

“Show me.” Linghu Yuan was infuriated by Huan’er’s words. The sharp sound of wind whistling in the air rang in everyone’s ears.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this moment, Huan’er no longer used the Teleportation Profundity. Her eyes began to glow faintly as a huge silhouette of a fox appeared behind her. It was as huge as a mountain and emitted an icy aura.

Then, without any warning, the eyes of the white fox silhouetted began to glow as well.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, watched as Linghu Yuan abruptly came to a stop when she was near Huan’er. Then, Linghu Yuan began attacking the air; all her raging attacks missed again and again.

“An illusion?”

At this time, everyone could tell Huan’er had cast some illusory techniques, and Linghu Yuan was now caught in the illusion.

Lei Jun and the others were still in shock while Lei Ying looked at the gradually disappearing silhouette behind Huan’er. ‘That… Is that a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox?!’

As a titled Celestial Emperor, Lei Ying naturally knew about the Thousand Phantoms Ice Foxes. Although the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox seemed to be just a legend due to their rarity, she knew about their characteristics.

With this knowledge, even if Xu Lang wanted to trade Duan Ling Tian for Huan’er, Lei Ying definitely would not agree to it. In a fight, Huan’er might not be as powerful as Duan Ling Tian, but if Huan’er used her skills as a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, Duan Ling Tian might not be able to defeat Huan’er. Most importantly, most of the Thousand Phantoms Ice Foxes that had appeared had successfully transitioned into a god!

‘More than 90% Heavenly Emperors can’t even attain godhood… If Huan’er really becomes a god, doesn’t this mean that I, Lei Ying, would have a connection with a god?’ With this thought in her mind, Lei Ying felt Huan’er becoming more and more pleasing to the eyes.

When the silhouette of the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox disappeared, Linghu Yuan finally came out of the illusion that Huan’er had weaved. When she saw the unharmed Huan’er, she said in disbelief, “You… You’re not injured!”

How could Linghu Yuan not be surprised? She had seen Huan’er retreating in a fluster under her raging attacks. She did not understand why Huan’er was completely unharmed at this moment. After a while, she took a deep breath to calm down and prepared to attack again.

At this moment, Lei Ying interjected, “Enough!” Then, she continued to say, “Three, you’ve lost. If Huan’er intended to kill you, you would’ve been dead by now…”
