Chapter 187 - Chapter 190: Knife Master

One must know that Cold Ice Dou Qi is an extremely rare ice-attribute Dou Qi!

Looking across the current Fighting Qi Continent, those who specialize in Cultivating Cold Ice Dou Qi are few and far between... Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, Han Yue of the Han family in Tianbei City, and the Ice River Valley mentioned just now...

And those who have Cultivated Cold Ice Dou Qi to achieve the Dou Sheng Realm are even more unheard of...

Therefore, the sudden appearance of a Cold Ice Dou Sheng Relic here is truly strange...

But Xiao Yi didn't have time to think too much, still exploring the Relic with extreme caution...

After all, the Cultivation Technique Xiao Yi is currently Cultivating is the Origin Primordial Myriad Transformation Method passed down by Emperor Xiao...

It can be regarded as a non-attribute Cultivation Technique; as long as it is the energy of heaven and earth, Xiao Yi can use it.

Therefore, this cold Qi is naturally usable too...

One must know that extreme cold Qi is an existence that does not lose out to Heavenly Flames!

For example, the heavenly cold qi obtained from Han Feng previously, its cold Qi was even capable of temporarily suppressing the Fallen Heart Flame...

Xiao Yi advanced slowly within the Relic, and as he moved further away from the entrance, the corpses of unknown Loose Cultivators could be seen everywhere along the path...

Furthermore, judging by the aura emanating from their corpses, every one of them was a genuine Dou Zong...

In Xiao Yi's opinion, it was truly a pity...

Although a Dou Zong is not worth mentioning in Central Region, when placed in a small place like the Jiama Empire, he is an unshakable colossal figure...

Now, a dignified Dou Zong, died tragically here because of his greed for this Dou Sheng Relic...

However, Xiao Yi didn't have time for sorrow, because Xiao Yi clearly sensed that as he got closer and closer to the center of the Relic...

The feeling of the cold Qi entering his body became more pronounced; that cold Qi, seemingly like heavenly cold qi, was actually able to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame!

Sensing the terror of this cold Qi, Xiao Yi did not dare to be careless in the slightest!

No longer concealing himself, he immediately summoned a large portion of his Dou Qi to form a Dou Qi protective shield around his body before continuing forward...

Xiao Yi walked through this Relic for an unknown period of time, and successfully arrived at the central area of the Relic...

The people from the Hall of Souls and the Ice River Valley who had entered the Relic earlier also stopped their steps here...

It was evident that everyone present had mobilized almost all the Dou Qi in their bodies just to resist the cold Qi that permeated the surroundings...

In other words, those who were able to reach the central area of the Relic at this moment, excluding the juniors protected by their elders, all had Cultivation bases that reached the Dou Zun level...

Otherwise, anyone below the Dou Zun level would simply be unable to withstand the intrusion of the cold Qi into their bodies for an extended period...

After all, even the people from the Ice River Valley, who also Cultivate Cold Ice Dou Qi, had no choice but to mobilize their Dou Qi to resist the cold Qi at this moment!

From this, it can be seen that the cold Qi here is not simple...

And when Valley Master Tang Zhen saw that Xiao Yi was also able to reach this place, he was quite surprised:

"At such a young age, he has already reached the Dou Zun Realm..."

"This young man is not simple..."

However, seeing the many Experts stopping here, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel slightly confused.

When Xiao Yi looked up, he saw dozens of scrolls wrapped in dark blue profound ice floating in the space above!

"As expected of a Dou Sheng Relic, Di-rank Dou Technique Cultivation Techniques are actually placed so casually in this place..."

Xiao Yi muttered softly, but Xiao Yi also noticed that Ice Venerable and the others completely ignored the Di-rank Dou Technique Cultivation Techniques floating above...

Instead, they were all unanimously staring at the gigantic ice wall in front of them!

With such surprisingly similar actions, it was not hard to see that the true Opportunity of this Dou Sheng Relic must be behind that ice wall!

After all, a dignified Dou Sheng Relic, besides the cold Qi, astonishingly had no traps, and the body of the Relic's owner had not even appeared...

There is only one explanation then: the people present might not have entered the true Relic yet.

However, while Ice Venerable and the others were uninterested in the Dou Technique Cultivation Techniques above, the other One-Star Dou Zun Loose Cultivators could not resist such temptation...

In the blink of an eye, the Loose Cultivators who had luckily made it here instantly flew into the air and began fighting over the Dou Technique Cultivation Techniques!

In order to solidify his identity as a Loose Cultivator, Xiao Yi pondered briefly and also joined the scramble for the Dou Technique Cultivation Techniques...

Xiao Yi's venerable ring instantly appeared behind him, perfectly locking his Dou Qi at the level of a One-Star Dou Zun!

His figure transformed into a streak of light, and he also arrived in the air, pretending to fight...

However, just as Xiao Yi relied on his movement speed to grab a set of Earth-rank Mid-level Dou Technique wrapped in profound ice...

A powerful aura suddenly came from behind Xiao Yi.

"Kid, put it down! That's what this Venerable Elder saw first!"

A fierce voice accompanied the arrival of that aura.

Xiao Yi reacted extremely quickly, slightly turning his body to dodge the sneak attack from the newcomer.

When Xiao Yi looked closely, he saw that the newcomer was tall and straight like a pine, wearing a dusty gray coarse cloth outfit that wrapped around tight muscles, lacking the luxurious robes or gold and jade decorations of other Dou Zun Experts; even the hem of his clothes was stained with dust.

His face wasn't handsome; his square face had strong lines, and his fringe hung loosely; a faint saber scar ran from his brow bone to his jaw on his left cheek, adding a hint of fierceness.

The most striking feature was the weapon constantly clutched in his right hand—not a ten-foot battle saber or a flowing light precious sword, but a common iron small knife the size of a palm.

The blade was polished bright, and the handle was wrapped in old cloth strips, looking like something one could casually buy from a common blacksmith shop, yet it emitted a faint, discernible aura of a Dou Zun Expert between his fingers.

"This appearance, this weapon..."

"Could this be the famous Little Knife Venerable?"

Xiao Yi exclaimed inwardly, never expecting to actually encounter the true Little Knife Venerable today!

However, seeing how young Xiao Yi was, the Little Knife Venerable felt a trace of disdain, and looked at Xiao Yi, opening his mouth provocatively:

"Kid, hand over that Dou Technique..."

"I can spare your life today..."

Xiao Yi, however, smiled slightly and said softly: "Entering this Relic, seeking good fortune, and obtaining Opportunity all depend on luck. Since I got this Dou Technique first, why should I give it to you..."

Seeing this, the Little Knife Venerable snorted coldly: "Ignorant brat, you're courting death!"

The next second, the muscles beneath the Little Knife Venerable's gray cloth outfit suddenly tensed, and the saber scar on his left cheek glinted coldly under the sunlight.

Others only saw a flash of an afterimage before he was already within three steps of Xiao Yi, and the palm-sized iron small knife in his right hand suddenly slashed—

There was no earth-shattering roar of Dou Qi, only a silver light as thin as a hair directly stabbing towards Xiao Yi's throat.

However, his movements were too slow in Xiao Yi's eyes, but at this moment, Xiao Yi chose to play along with the Little Knife Venerable in order to conceal his strength.

Xiao Yi pretended to narrowly turn sideways to dodge, and quickly swung out a palm.

Unexpectedly, the Little Knife Venerable's footwork was strange; he shifted sideways like someone dodging pedestrians in the marketplace, and the iron small knife sliced close to the Void Realm, actually ripping through the Void Realm, the tip of the blade heading straight for the wrist of Xiao Yi's hand holding the Dou Technique!

This kind of simple and direct attack method was completely different from the style of ordinary Dou Zun Experts who often destroyed the heavens and earth with a single move, resembling instead a veteran fighter risking his life in the back alleys.

"A bit interesting!"

Xiao Yi chuckled softly, and the dragon abyss formation breaking spear instantly ripped through the Void Realm, stabbing straight towards the Little Knife Venerable.

The Little Knife Venerable quickly rotated his wrist, drawing an extremely small circle in front of him with the small iron knife, condensing Dou Qi into a shield as thin as a cicada's wing, blocking the dragon abyss formation breaking spear outside the circle.

The Little Knife Venerable's small iron knife seemed particularly shabby compared to Xiao Yi's dragon abyss formation breaking spear, but this did not affect the fact that he was a genuine Dou Zun Expert...

Therefore, for a short period, he was evenly matched with the strength-concealing Xiao Yi...

However, seeing Xiao Yi and the Little Knife Venerable fighting fiercely over a Dou Technique, the Hall Master Elder of the Soul Hall in front of the ice wall merely smiled slightly and muttered softly:

"Fight over it, battle it out..."

"In the end, everything here will belong to the Hall of Souls!"

After the Hall Master Elder of the Soul Hall finished speaking, a spatial jade token glowing with eerie black light appeared in his palm at some unknown time...
