"No, that's not right, that's not ice..."
Others might mistake them for ice swords, but for him, who had been playing with ice for more than half his life, he could naturally distinguish whether there was ice or water inside.
In other words, the other party had used her Water Attribute Dou Qi and Nine-Star Great Dou Master strength to condense "water swords" that were not inferior in toughness to ice swords!
Hai Bodong couldn't help but gasp. This girl was terrifying!
Water Attribute Dou Qi generally tended to be gentle. Even if a Water Attribute Dou Ling used Dou Qi solidification, they would generally use weapons like long whips.
However, do not forget, ice is also water!
Moreover, Xiao Xue possessed water control abilities far exceeding her peers, as well as a higher "Elemental Affinity"!
Therefore, she could even use Water Attribute Dou Qi to condense Dou Qi long swords that were no less hard than "ice" types!
Xiao Xue took the initiative to attack, holding the sword in her right hand and pushing forward with her left, "Go!"
Six Flying Swords flew directly towards Hai Bodong!
"Come on, let me see exactly how much you weigh, daring to snatch my things!"
Facing the six Flying Swords attacking, Hai Bodong sneered. His withered hands quickly formed a seal, his internal ice Dou Qi circulated, and he shouted softly, "Ice Condensation Mirror!"
The white cold air around Hai Bodong suddenly churned rapidly. A moment later, a transparent ice mirror about half a meter long and wide suddenly condensed in front of him.
At the same time, Hai Bodong waved his palm, and dozens of spiral-shaped ice thorns rapidly took form in front of him.
Then, with a wave of Hai Bodong's hand, they shot out towards Xiao Xue with a whistling sound, filling the sky.
A look of interest appeared on Xiao Xue's face.
Hai Bodong also had a bit of fire; he had used quite a bit of strength in this move.
This wasn't coming to kill; it was clearly like going to the home of a hospitable host who, seeing that she had finished a dish, immediately served a few more.
It was a bit embarrassing, but it was hard to refuse.
Xiao Xue felt that she had to play the role of a good guest; however many dishes the host served, she would eat them all.
However many moves Hai Bodong made, she would receive them all, until he couldn't fight anymore!
While pushing the Flying Swords to continue advancing, Xiao Xue simultaneously activated her Dou Qi Armor and [Power of Water] to defend.
Clang, clang, clang, clang—countless ice thorns bombarded her like a rainstorm. Even with Dou Qi as resistance, their power could not be ignored.
Very quickly, the Dou Qi Armor on Xiao Xue's body was pierced by the ice thorns, and the cold power of the ice thorns formed a thick layer of ice on her.
It was just a pity that Xiao Xue's physical constitution, after being strengthened by the heavenly fox essence blood, was already comparable to a Fourth-Tier Demonic Beast.
Under the deceleration of the [Power of Water] and the weakening of the Dou Qi Armor, the ice thorns actually only pierced through the Dou Qi Armor before being unable to advance an inch.
Hai Bodong's spiral ice thorns were received by Xiao Xue without injury; they didn't even hurt her skin!
However, on Hai Bodong's side, the Ice Condensation Mirror was already teetering under the impact of the six consecutive Flying Swords.
If not for Hai Bodong continuously injecting Dou Qi, it probably would have shattered by the fourth Flying Sword!
Before Hai Bodong could react, Xiao Xue directly shattered the layer of ice on her body.
She stepped forward quickly, held the sword with both hands, and slashed down fiercely!
The ice mirror shattered in response. This sword strike from Xiao Xue instantly smashed the hard ice mirror, the blade passing through it and slashing heavily towards Hai Bodong.
Watching Xiao Xue shatter his ice mirror with one strike, Hai Bodong's scalp tingled instantly!
This Ice Mirror was a Profound Rank Dou Technique; it had actually been shattered so casually by the other party!
What kind of humanoid monster is this!!!
During the time he had been living in seclusion, had the world changed, or had he been out of combat for too long and become rusty!?
But he did not choose to dodge; instead, he instantly condensed a mysterious ice long spear to meet Xiao Xue's sword strike head-on.
In an instant, two completely opposing energies collided, and a terrifying shockwave swept through the entire shop.
Wooden shelves, bookshelves, tables, and chairs were all rolled up into the air, and maps were flying everywhere.
The two separated upon contact, each retreating several steps to steady themselves.
Having witnessed Xiao Xue's strength, Hai Bodong couldn't help but take her seriously, "You are very strong."
Xiao Xue casually performed a sword flourish, placed the sword behind her back, and said with a smile, "Old Hai, you are also still sharp."
As a Dou Huang, Hai Bodong actually still had a trump card Di-rank Dou Technique he hadn't used, but he felt that Xiao Xue also had trump cards.
That pink flame that had flashed by at the beginning of the battle made even him feel a bit of palpitations.
Hai Bodong understood that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep Xiao Xue here.
That kind of pink flame absolutely countered his Ice Attribute Dou Qi.
Moreover, with Xiao Xue having such strength and that strange pink flame, Hai Bodong actually had a few points of belief in her identity as an Alchemist.
Xiao Xue looked at Hai Bodong and smiled slightly, "Old Mister, can you sell the incomplete map to me now?"
