Chapter 181: An Unexpected Farewell Gift
The Ice Empress jumped in front of Bai Yu, waving her arms, her face full of indignation.
Bai Yu chuckled. This short Ice Empress was quite amusing when she jumped around, and she still wanted him to go see her. It seemed his daily feedings hadn't been in vain.
"Heh heh, if I come to see Xue'er, I'll naturally see you too. It's all the same."
"Tch, so it's still just an afterthought. But whatever, as long as you come, I'll get to eat something delicious again."
The Ice Empress pouted. She clearly saw through Bai Yu's perfunctory attitude, but she didn't care. As long as she was called when there was food, that was enough.
At this moment, the Snow Empress walked up to Bai Yu and softly said,
"Bai Yu, let's have a fight. When you made the ice house before, you used the power of laws, right? Since you can control the power of laws, your strength must not be limited to this."
"I also want to see what the law, which I've been diligently trying to control but haven't, truly looks like."
"Ah?"
Bai Yu's eyes widened, feeling very strange. Why did the Snow Empress suddenly want to fight him? This didn't make any sense!
He had been feeding her wholeheartedly these past few days. Even if she didn't throw him a farewell party, she shouldn't want to beat him up, right?
"There's no need for a fight. My strength is indeed as you said, not what I've shown, but if we really fight, I'm still a bit weaker than you."
"Your strength is already close to a Limit Douluo, and even in this Extreme North Land, a Limit Douluo would have to give way to you. I can't beat you, and besides, there's no meaning to it."
The Snow Empress ignored Bai Yu's refusal, shaking her head and insisting on fighting him.
"It is meaningful. I want to experience the power of laws, Bai Yu, please agree to me!"
Seeing that the Snow Empress was determined to fight, Bai Yu scratched his head in distress, then sighed, saying helplessly,
"Sigh, fine, let's fight then. But later, go easy on me. If you really go all out, I can't take it."
A hint of joy appeared in the Snow Empress's eyes when she saw Bai Yu finally agree.
"Good, then you make the first move."
Bai Yu nodded, a silver light flashing in his eyes. The surrounding Four Symbols elements converged, directly entering the Creation form.
What Bai Yu didn't know was that the Snow Empress wanted to fight him not to experience the power of laws, but to make Bai Yu remember her, so he would come to see her more often.
The Snow Empress's mind was pure. Originally, she wanted to tell Bai Yu directly, but she was afraid that after saying it, Bai Yu wouldn't care.
So she thought for a moment and came up with an idea: to find a way to leave a deep impression on Bai Yu so he wouldn't forget her.
If Bai Yu had known, he would definitely have cried out in injustice. You could have just said it, why resort to beating people up?
He was already planning to abduct her later, how could he forget?
But because the Snow Empress didn't say anything, Bai Yu didn't understand, and in the end, the two still fought.
"Fire Phase, Eight Desolation Dragon Dance!"
Bai Yu raised his hand and clenched it. Eight fire dragons formed from fire elements instantly appeared around the Snow Empress and rushed towards her, spinning.
Compared to two years ago, Bai Yu's strength was much greater. Because he had comprehended laws, the Four Symbols elements in the world were extremely close to him and would naturally transform into his spirit power.
Moreover, the higher his level, the faster the speed. So his cultivation speed was opposite to others'. Others got slower in the later stages, while Bai Yu got faster and faster.
And now he was already at Level 79 and would soon reach Level 80. At his current level, the Four Symbols elements he could mobilize and the Creation power he gathered were much stronger than before.
The Snow Empress watched the eight fire dragons attack her, their gushing heat melting the surrounding ice and snow into a pond. A sharp light flashed in her eyes.
"Emperor's Palm, Great Snow Without Cold!"
With a soft cry, the Snow Empress raised her hand and waved it. The surrounding wind and snow surged, forming a pure white palm print.
This palm print not only shattered Bai Yu's fire dragons but also continued to attack Bai Yu without any sign of weakening.
"Water Phase, Condensed Ice · Sky-Piercing Wall!"
"Boom!"
A wall of ice rose from the ground, blocking the Snow Empress's palm print. The two collided, emitting a loud bang.
Just as Bai Yu was about to complain about how ruthless the Snow Empress was, his pupils suddenly contracted. He tapped his toes on the ground and retreated rapidly.
A flash of light appeared, and the ice wall in front of him split directly in half. The Snow Empress, holding an ice-blue longsword, slashed towards Bai Yu.
"Emperor's Sword, Ice Extremity Peerless!"
After dodging the Snow Empress's first wave of attack, Bai Yu immediately shaped his Blue Silver King Spirit into a long saber and raised his hand to block the Snow Empress's slash.
"Clang!"
The clear sound of metal clashing echoed between the two weapons of different materials. It was then that Bai Yu found time to complain.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's too much! Do you have to be so serious? We don't have any grudges!"
"At least I treated you to two months of meals. Aren't you heartbroken to strike so heavily? I can accept repayment, but I can't accept a beating!"
Although Bai Yu cried out, it was useless. The Snow Empress remained silent and continued to slash with her sword.
Moreover, the spirit power on her sword became increasingly thick. Wind and snow transformed into sword aura, constantly flying towards Bai Yu with the Snow Empress's movements.
Bai Yu looked helpless. He had no other choice. He had originally thought that saying a few words would evoke the Snow Empress's sympathy, but he didn't expect it to result in even harsher attacks.
Then, Bai Yu's gaze sharpened. Since that was the case, then let's have a good fight. Anyway, he had been idle for two years, so exercising his muscles and bones was good.
Afterward, Bai Yu also became serious, no longer trying to just go through the motions as before.
While Bai Yu and the Snow Empress were fighting, the Ice Empress watched from the side, completely dumbfounded.
When the Snow Empress said she wanted to fight Bai Yu just now, she had almost blurted out a few sarcastic remarks, directed at both of them.
In her opinion, Bai Yu was too weak and only knew how to brag. He probably couldn't even beat Xiao Bai, so how could he fight the Snow Empress?
And the Snow Empress was also acting crazy, clearly knowing that Bai Yu wasn't strong, yet insisting on dragging him into a fight. Wasn't that ridiculous?
But in the end, she didn't say anything, because these two, one was her Xue'er, and the other was her meal ticket, she couldn't offend either!
So she just watched in silence, wanting to know what kind of jokes these two would come up with next.
Unexpectedly, the result was beyond her expectations. Bai Yu didn't show off, and the Snow Empress wasn't being funny. These two could genuinely have a fight.
Moreover, upon comparison, the Ice Empress discovered with disbelief that Bai Yu's strength didn't seem to be much worse than hers. In fact, if they left the Extreme North, she might not even be able to suppress Bai Yu.
"Emperor's Cold Sky, Snow Dance Dazzling Sun!"
Bai Yu's eyelids twitched violently. He saw the Snow Empress forcibly gather the wind and snow from several miles around with a comprehension skill, and as her ice sword swung, it surged towards Bai Yu.
Bai Yu exhaled lightly, the long saber in his hand dissipated, and he instead held his hands up, shouting in a low voice:
"Four Symbols Limitless Seal!"
