Divine Emperor of Death

"You think you can best me!?" With a cry that sounded like self-encouragement, Natalya didn't retreat but shot forward to the numerous mirages, daring to meet Tanya Frostblight in a frontal battle.

Her visage turned cold as she lifted her hands and slashed with her sword, a horizontal blade of ice suddenly coalesced and shot forward, threatening to cut all the Tanya Frostblight's into two!

Tanya Frostblight's eyes narrowed as she instantly took her sword out and slashed. Her attack managed to destroy the blade of ice, but it also managed to push her back a hundred meters.

"What!?" Tanya Frostblight exclaimed.

When she regained balance and looked at the snowy mirage she created with her footwork, they too had disappeared. Usually, the afterimage from her movement technique would still appear real for a few seconds before disappearing or turning hazy, but now, they were all slashed apart, turning into a water puddle that splashed on the white martial platform.

"You're also a Body Tempering Cultivator!? You cultivate Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation at the same time?" 

Looking at the silvery battle aura that intermixed with her icy essence energy, Tanya Frostblight blurted in surprise.

Natalya brought her silvery sword to rest before taking a battle posture, pointing the sword at Tanya Frostblight, "I wonder if a sword cultivator is anything special if their body cultivation is weak?"

Tanya Frostblight's smile faded before she reacted with a curve of her lips, "How surprising... I thought I would be able to finish this battle in a single move but to think you're at Peak-Level Silver Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation. I certainly didn't expect that, but still, it only gives you a little bit of attack power when compared to my Peak-Level Law Seed Stage Cultivation."

"If you get cocky, you might find yourself fainted on the martial platform..."

Natalya abruptly turned back and swung her sword at the empty space, but a huge clang sound could be heard before she was sent flying tens of meters away before she was able to regain balance. 

"Your physical senses are not bad..." An appreciative voice echoed.

Natalya looked straight and saw Tanya Frostblight grin at her with a mischievous smile, and when she glanced behind, the Tanya Frostblight that remained fixed in place disappeared as if it were a mirage.

"If it weren't for your Body Tempering Cultivation, you would've had the web between your fingers badly damaged right now..."

Natalya just let out a snort, but inwardly, she was shaken. If she had not held her sword tightly and struck the empty space behind her with her full physical force, combined with her battle aura, she would've been sent flying kilometers away like trash!

Natalya instantly closed the distance and slashed with her sword numerous times in a split second, all of them possessing a hint of ice attribute just like Tanya Frostblight's attacks, but it appeared and felt weaker.

Tanya Frostblight once again created a snowy atmosphere around her and flicked her sword out of her grasp. The sword shot towards Natalya, forcing her to change targets!

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

Natalya kept slashing her sword with vigor, and at the same time, with her empty hand, she forcefully summoned a sea of icicles around her, wanting to hit delay the sword from keeping her in nook and cranny of the opponent's pace.

The icicles shot forward from her sides, but just as they neared Tanya Frostblight's sword, they were easily shattered in an instant, leaving her no choice but to show her be repeatedly forced back.

Her narrowed eyes briefly glimpsed at the overwhelming enemy in front of her. Their cultivation bases were just far apart, and she could see that her loss was near. In fact, she knew that Tanya Frostblight was holding back.

Right now, she was well aware that she was being played.

There was a difference of three levels, and it was difficult for her to fight across levels, so she was sure that it was just a matter of time before she was defeated.

Facing a top disciple by herself, Natalya experienced and garnered that Tanya Frostblight should be even able to battle normal Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivators.

Strength left her body as her determination lessened. She struck back Tanya Frostblight's sword with her silvery sword, and by now, she was a hundred meters away from her opponent.

Natalya inwardly heaved a sigh, but suddenly, a disappointed face flashed in her imagination, and her arms shook.

'Since I'm going to lose, why don't I give it my all!?'

Natalya took a step behind and shrouded her sword with a mysterious blue with her fingers. It emitted an icy intent, but it also gave off a glow of strange charm.

With a step forwards, she clashed with Tanya Frostblight's sword, and she surprisingly parried it towards her side before she shot forwards to Tanya Frostblight!

Tanya Frostblight became wide-eyed at the sudden reversal and quickly moved!

*Whoosh!~*

Natalya hovered in the air with a slashing posture, and when she turned to look at Tanya Frostblight, who appeared half a kilometer away, she smiled and glanced at the slice of blood that was on her sword.

With a flick of her hand, she splashed the few drops of blood on her sword over the battle platform before she smugly grinned, "Right back at you... If you get cocky, you might find yourself fainted on the martial platform..."

*Woahhhh!~*

Cheering rang out from the audience! In their view, two beauties gracefully danced with their swords. It was honey to their throats and a sight to their eyes.

In the airspace, the experienced Elder Enye was astonished as she has recognized the laws which Natalya used just now.

'Yin Laws...' She mused.

It had allowed Natalya to considerably soften and lessen the impact of Tanya Frostblight's sword, allowing her to parry it before catching Tanya Frostblight off-guard in an instant. The distance between them was just less than a hundred meters, and Fifth Stage Cultivators could generally cover this short distance in a flash!

Tanya Frostblight let out a chuckle filled with a sneer and a little bit of anger. She looked at the back of her wrist that was cut and captured her sword that came flying at her. Her wrist was still bleeding, staining the blue sleeves in blood, and she looked at it for a few seconds before she cast a technique.

A soft and warm substance enveloped the cut on her wrist before the cut disappeared, replaced with a patch of pure, unblemished skin.

The healing substance was none other than her water essence energy!

"I admit..." Tanya Frostblight slowly smiled, "That I have been rather easy on you..."

She raised her arm, and the blue sleeves of her white robe dropped to her elbow, revealing her pale white arm.

"Let me tell you... I have comprehended Level Two Intent in Sword Laws, Level Two Intent in Water Laws, and Elementary Intent in Ice Laws."

Natalya inwardly sneered in response, 'Heh, I have already reached Level One Intent in Ice Laws and Elementary Intent in Yin Laws...'

However, her eyes widened as she saw the sea of icicles that formed above Tanya Frostblight's arm. The space above her and the surrounding half a kilometer were filled with countless icicles that condensed out of thin air and pointed at Natalya.

Natalya's eyes shook as she inadvertently took a step back.

Why were those icicles looked thicker, sturdier, and powerful than hers? Even if she took the difference in their cultivation bases, it still didn't make sense for those icicles to be condensed with even greater power.

Could it be that the Ice Laws she comprehended were inferior to Tanya Frostblight's Ice Laws?
