Chaos reigned across the sky as Gu Immortals clashed in every direction.
Gale winds howled, and wind blades sliced through the air in all directions.
Ice Crystal Immortal King paused for just a moment, and he was already surrounded on all sides by wind blades.
Ice Crystal Immortal King's square jaw was covered in frost. He gave a cold snort and released countless ice crystals and freezing qi, neutralizing every wind blade.
But in the very next instant, Nie Kuangfeng personally lunged right in front of him.
Nie Kuangfeng had always been a swirling mass of green hurricane winds. Now he condensed himself into a sphere and unleashed a terrifying suction force!
Ice Crystal Immortal King had already thought to dodge, but he was too slow. His body was caught by Nie Kuangfeng's pull, and he found himself unable to break free.
"This is bad!" Ice Crystal Immortal King's expression changed drastically.
Using his Extreme Crystal Light Immortal-Suppressing Coffin killer move right now would be far too slow.
Generally speaking, the more powerful an Immortal Path killer move, the longer it took to prepare. In his exchanges with Nie Kuangfeng, Ice Crystal Immortal King had never been able to find an opening to deploy it.
In moments of crisis, there wasn't time to use it. During stalemates, using it would expose a flaw for the enemy to exploit. And even if he managed to execute it, Nie Kuangfeng would be on guard, making it nearly impossible to achieve a decisive, one-move victory.
"Heh heh heh, this is my signature killer move — Wind-Absorbing Life-Twisting! It cost me over thirty years of meticulous crafting, and then another hundred years of continuous refinement. No one has ever survived this move, and you will be no exception."
Nie Kuangfeng's sinister laughter rang out.
Ice Crystal Immortal King's face was grim. Unable to dodge, he could only frantically power up his defensive killer moves.
"AAAARGH—!"
Ice Crystal Immortal King screamed in agony.
His arms were sucked into Nie Kuangfeng's body first. Though thick layers of ice crystal had already formed on their surface, they only held for a few breaths before crumbling apart entirely.
Ice Crystal Immortal King's arms were ground to pulp!
Next came his torso.
"My life ends here." In his moment of despair, a bolt of pitch-black lightning suddenly crashed down.
It struck Nie Kuangfeng dead-on, dealing a severe blow, and the suction force immediately faltered.
The churning speed of Nie Kuangfeng's condensed wind sphere dropped sharply, and a large swathe of black, ink-like discoloration spread across the green hurricane mass.
"Damn it — another calamity has appeared." Nie Kuangfeng gritted his teeth.
Starting from several days ago, calamities had been appearing frequently across every corner of the myriad worlds.
And near wherever Gu Immortals gathered, the calamities were especially intense and frequent.
With so many Gu Immortals fighting on the battlefield, it was no surprise at all that calamities were showing up here.
Nie Kuangfeng refocused his attention on Ice Crystal Immortal King: "Just die already!"
Ice Crystal Immortal King struggled with everything he had, but he still couldn't overcome Nie Kuangfeng's suction force. Inch by inch, he was being pulled into Nie Kuangfeng's body.
"My life ends here!" At the height of his despair once more, another bolt of black lightning crashed down.
Crack! The black lightning struck Nie Kuangfeng again.
Nie Kuangfeng faltered once more, and the black discoloration in the green hurricane intensified further.
"This calamity is remarkably powerful — it's actually dealing me this much damage," Nie Kuangfeng muttered. Then he snarled at Ice Crystal Immortal King, "But there's no way you're escaping! Your life is mine!"
Ice Crystal Immortal King was slowly drawn in by the wind sphere yet again.
"It seems my, Ice Crystal Immortal King's, life will end right here." Ice Crystal Immortal King sighed. Just then, yet another bolt of black lightning descended — and it hit Nie Kuangfeng once more.
Nie Kuangfeng ground to a violent halt, the wind sphere distorting, on the verge of exploding!
"What is going on?!"
"What is with this calamity?!"
"Why has it struck me three times in a row? Ice Crystal Immortal King and I are practically on top of each other, yet it hasn't hit him a single time?!"
"Is his luck really that good? I refuse to believe it!"
"I'll keep sucking!"
Crack.
Black lightning descended, striking Nie Kuangfeng.
Nie Kuangfeng refused to yield: "I'll keep sucking!"
Crack.
"Fine, I'll keep sucking anyway!"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Nie Kuangfeng couldn't take it anymore.
Black lightning bolts kept crashing down, and every single one aimed straight for his head. There was absolutely no reasoning with it.
Nie Kuangfeng's body nearly collapsed, and he could no longer maintain his grip on Ice Crystal Immortal King.
Ice Crystal Immortal King seized the chance to retreat immediately, putting as much distance between himself and Nie Kuangfeng as possible.
"I actually survived? How is this even possible?" Ice Crystal Immortal King was overcome with disbelief, his heart still racing from the close call.
