Abyss Walker

Chapter 41 Frozen Land

Several days...

"The climate of the Ice Kingdom is extremely cold. It's almost impossible for it to retain heat, resulting in the entire region being covered in ice and snow. Or perhaps it possesses... the blessing of an extremely icy substance."

In this area, vegetation is very sparse, but some hardy mosses and lichens survive tenaciously in the cracks of the ice, adding a touch of green to this white world. All the water here exists in the form of ice.

Dugu Jianling: "The culture of the Ice Kingdom is closely related to ice and snow. Their art, architecture and festivals are all themed around ice and snow, showing a unique aesthetic."

The night sky over the land of ice is like a mysterious and magnificent canvas, adorned by nature, the artist, with the most brilliant colors.

The starlight here is exceptionally dazzling; each star is like a meticulously polished diamond, radiating a cold and pure light. They twinkle in the night sky, as if telling ancient legends, or as if using their faint yet steadfast light to guide this cold land.

The aurora borealis is the most enchanting miracle in this night sky. Like colorful ribbons on the horizon, they dance slowly, changing colors and shapes.

The green bands of light resemble ghostly flames, the blue curtains of light resemble a deep ocean, and occasionally purple and red halos intertwine, creating a breathtaking painting of light. The aurora dances, sometimes gentle, sometimes wild, leaping and swirling on the horizon like a divine dance, leaving viewers breathless.

Here, starlight and aurora intertwine, reflecting each other and creating a beautiful picture that defies description.

The stability of starlight and the ever-changing aurora create a unique harmony, allowing one to experience the wonder and magnificence of nature on this frozen land. The icy kingdom under the night sky thus becomes even more mysterious and captivating.

On this land covered in ice and snow, people look up in awe and wonder. This picture in the night sky is not merely a display of natural beauty, but the very soul of this icy land. It imbues this place with magic, making it unforgettable once seen.

At this moment, Yun Muhan stood on a small iceberg: "The Ice Kingdom is a place full of mystery and challenges. I, Yun Muhan, will definitely conquer it."

Dugu Jianling: "Aren't you cold? Never mind, I'm going back to sleep. Don't freeze to death."

Yun Muhan circulated his internal energy to resist the biting cold. Looking around, all he could see was a vast expanse of white, with howling winds and swirling snowflakes.

Deciding to first explore the outer areas of this frozen land to see what secrets and treasures it held, Yun Muhan followed the iceberg and discovered a huge ice sculpture, so lifelike, that it seemed as if a fairy had descended to earth.

"This is... Chu... Ling Shuang?" Just as Yun Muhan was staring at the ice sculpture, he suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from afar.

Yun Muhan looked ahead warily, only to see a dark shadow rapidly approaching. He immediately summoned Dugu Sword, preparing to deal with any potential danger.

Yun Muhan's heart pounded in his chest. His eyes were fixed on the dark figure. The long sword in his hand trembled slightly in the cold wind, its tip pointing forward, ready to face the impending battle.

As the shadowy figure drew closer, Yun Muhan gradually discerned that it was a person wearing a black cloak, which fluttered in the wind, seemingly blending into the surrounding ice and snow.

The shadowy figure was like a ghost in the night; his movements were so fast that they were almost impossible to catch. In the blink of an eye, he had already closed in on Yun Muhan.

Yun Muhan's eyes were sharp as an eagle's. Faced with this sudden attack, he did not hesitate at all. He wielded his long sword, the sword light cutting through the air with a whistling sound, aiming straight for the shadowy figure's fatal spot.

The shadowy figure reacted with extraordinary speed. His body seemed unbound by the laws of physics, and with a slight sway, he dodged Yun Muhan's sword like a phantom. His movements were fluid and elegant, and he struck out with a backhand palm, the wind from which carried a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding air, aiming straight for Yun Muhan's vital chest.

Yun Muhan moved like a ghost, his body twisting at the last second to skillfully evade the shadowy figure's palm strike. His swordsmanship was not only swift but also unpredictable; with a flick of his sword tip, he drew graceful arcs, like icicles in winter, launching another attack on the shadowy figure.

The two engaged in a breathtaking duel amidst the icy snow. Sword light and palm winds intertwined, creating a captivating scene.

Snowflakes were stirred up and scattered in their battle, like white petals swept up by a gale, dancing in the air and then scattering under the impact of sword light and palm wind.

Yun Muhan's swordsmanship was like a raging storm, each strike carrying a sharp killing intent, while the shadowy figure's palm techniques were like a winter's chill, each attack bringing a biting cold. Their battle was intense and brutal, each exchange fraught with danger and uncertainty.

The surrounding air distorted as they fought, snowflakes forming a massive vortex around them, swirling with their movements. The icy landscape even became the backdrop to their battle, and part of it all; snowflakes and the biting wind became their tools in combat.

After several rounds, Yun Muhan discovered that the shadowy figure's moves contained a strange power that seemed to have some connection with this frozen land.

Yun Muhan's heart stirred, and he decided to change tactics. Instead of fighting head-on, he began to defend and look for weaknesses in the shadowy figure.

As the battle continued, Yun Muhan gradually figured out the shadowy figure's attack rhythm. His eyes became calmer, and each swing of his sword became more precise.

Yun Muhan's movements were swift and precise. His longsword flashed through the snow, its blade as agile and deadly as a serpent. The tip of the sword left afterimages in the air, aimed directly at the shadowy figure's throat; each strike was filled with decisiveness and power. A calm light gleamed in his eyes, each swing revealing his profound understanding and mastery of swordsmanship.

The shadowy figure reacted just as swiftly, his body swaying like a shadow in the wind and snow, narrowly avoiding Yun Muhan's fatal blow. His cloak fluttered in the wind, and with a sudden flick of his wrist, a powerful burst of cold air erupted from the cloak, forming an ice wall that temporarily suppressed Yun Muhan's sword strike.

The chilling air was bone-chilling, as if it could freeze everything, even the surrounding wind and snow seemed to pause.

Without the slightest hesitation, the shadowy figure seized the opportunity to retreat swiftly. His steps were light and rapid across the frozen ground, creating a safe distance between him and Yun Muhan. His figure appeared and disappeared in the wind and snow, as elusive as a ghost.

Yun Muhan did not pursue, a hint of caution in his eyes. He knew that in this frozen land, any rash action could be fatal. He sheathed his sword, the longsword pointing diagonally at the ground, its tip trembling slightly, as if gathering the power for his next attack.

The two faced off in the snowstorm, the atmosphere tense to the extreme. Yun Muhan's gaze was like lightning, locked on the shadowy figure; his eyes held no fear, only a thirst for battle and an unwavering determination to win. The shadowy figure remained hidden in the shadows of his cloak, his eyes deep and mysterious, making it impossible to fathom his inner thoughts.

The wind and snow howled between them, snowflakes swirling and dancing in their auras, as if even the forces of nature were drawn to this confrontation. Time seemed to freeze at that moment; their breaths condensed into white mist in the cold air, each breath so clear and heavy.

Suddenly, the dark figure let out a low laugh, with a hint of appreciation in his voice: "Young man, your strength is not bad. It is truly remarkable that you were able to fight me to this extent in this frozen land."

Dugu Jianling quickly reminded him: This guy is very strong, remember to be careful.

"The senior deliberately concealed his skills, yet he was still able to fight against the junior without being at a disadvantage. He is truly remarkable."
