In the blink of an eye, Monk Wuhua, Bai Yunfeng, Dancing Girl, and Ye Xing, the four top-tier prodigies, all lost to Li Chen.

Everyone else was terrified, and no one dared to step forward to confront him alone.

"Didn't you just say that I, this monster, would wreak havoc on the world and that you should eliminate me for the public good? Now that I'm standing right in front of you, why is no one daring to act?"

Li Chen's aura dominated the world as he stepped through the air, moving forward relentlessly.

The prodigies and holy daughters of Jiuzhou felt their hearts tremble at this moment, instinctively retreating due to human nature.

Li Chen glanced at them, a smile of satisfaction curling on his lips as he laughed up to the sky.

"Ha ha, you who call yourselves the prodigies and holy daughters of Jiuzhou are nothing but selfish and cowardly petty ants. How laughable, how laughable!"

"You brat, stop being so arrogant!"

This shout came from a woman, as cold as ice. The surrounding void instantly frosted over.

People looked towards the sound and saw a girl in white, as pure as snow, slowly stepping out. Her face was veiled, hiding her true appearance, only leaving behind an ethereal beauty like a dream.

She walked through the air, each step blossoming a lotus. Her figure was graceful and slim, standing with elegance. Her skin, white as mutton-fat jade, shimmered with an ethereal glow. She seemed like the moon obscured by light clouds and snow returning on a drifting breeze.

Unlike ordinary girls with black hair, she had a full head of silver hair, as if frosted over, exuding an aura of nobility and elegance, like a Snow Fairy descended to the mortal world, making people only dare to admire from afar, unwilling to sully her.

"This is Snow Fairy, Ximen Qingxue!"

An onlooker recognized her identity and let out an excited shout.

Ximen Qingxue, the treasured gem of Ximen Longting, the Valley Master of Dragon Ascending Valley. It's said that before her birth, there was an ancient divine beast Ice Phoenix that sang loudly to the sky, circling the valley without cease.

Subsequently, Ximen Qingxue was born with ice. Like Zhao Yuqing, she also has an Innate Spiritual Body. Truly deserving the title of Snow Fairy.

However, because Dragon Ascending Valley is located in the Northern Extreme Cold Land. Due to the long journey, there is little contact with this side of Jiuzhou. If not for this Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition, they likely would not have come to Penglai at all.

Thus, most people had only heard of Ximen Qingxue's legend, with few having close encounters, and none having witnessed her true visage.

Cold, noble, low-key, mysterious, it made many people's hearts flutter.

Seeing the newcomer, Li Chen raised an eyebrow.

He looked Ximen Qingxue up and down, responding in a firm voice: "You are not my opponent. Don't bring trouble upon yourself. Just step down quietly!"

Ximen Qingxue's slender brows furrowed slightly, and a clear, bright cold light shot from her eyes.

"Whether I am or not, we'll know once we try!"

Before she finished her icy sentence, she slightly raised her fair hand, summoning her Lifebound Magical Treasure in mid-air.

It was a Snow Magic Wand, with its body carved with a phoenix looking skyward, lifelike. The handle was inlaid with a hexagonal ice gem, glowing brightly under the sunlight.

"The cold of winter is here!"

Ximen Qingxue waved the Snow Magic Wand, from which the Ice Soul Gem shot out dozens of ice snakes that slithered around, intertwining. Wherever they passed, the surrounding void instantly froze.

In an instant, the previously blazing summer sun transformed into a chilly winter. As far as the eye could see, it was a world clad in white snow and frost.

"Freeze the land for miles!"

Ximen Qingxue let out a cold cry, forming a massive ice phoenix of several dozen zhang in the air.

The Ice Phoenix cried to the sky, its wings flashing back and forth. Thousands of ice feathers broke the sound barrier, inundating Li Chen like a deluge.

Seeing this, Li Chen frowned slightly, quickly forming a sword technique with his fingers, slashing with his sword.

Yet, as the Seven-star Dragon Abyss just touched the Ice Phoenix, the three-foot sword blade instantly froze, with bone-chilling cold spreading rapidly towards Li Chen's body.

In the blink of an eye, his arm was covered in white frost, followed by his chest, head, until his entire body was encased, forming a solid ice sculpture.

"Hiss!"

Witnessing this scene, everyone involuntarily gasped, feeling a biting chill that made them shiver.

"The once unstoppable monster Li Chen actually got frozen like this?"

"Truly worthy of the title Snow Fairy, that's cold enough!"

Monk Wuhua, Bai Yunfeng and others looked at Ximen Qingxue in shock.

Though they had all known beforehand that Ximen Qingxue was an unparalleled genius of Dragon Ascending Valley, born with ice as an Innate Spiritual Body, they were still stunned on the spot by her thunderous display.

Tian Yazi, Jian Chen, Ling Yunlong and other leaders all turned to the Dragon Ascending Valley Master, Ximen Longting.

"Congratulations Master Ximen, your valley has birthed a true phoenix!"

Ximen Longting waved his hand repeatedly, smiling with squinting eyes: "You flatter me, but the Ximen family has merely guarded the extreme north for generations; it's just divine favor!"

Though his words were humble, his face was clearly brimming with pride.

This was understandable, given that this Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition had turned into such a grand farce. All the prodigies of Jiuzhou were defeated by Li Chen, facing disgrace.

Meanwhile, his precious gem took down the monstrous Li Chen in just one clash, winning the top prize, utterly stealing the spotlight.

The comparison was stark!

From now on, the fame of their Dragon Ascending Valley would soar high, possibly even surpassing Moon God Palace and Penglai Pavilion, aiming for dominion over Jiuzhou.

However, just at that instant:

Li Chen's entire body suddenly turned into flames, burning intensely. The ice on him melted instantly.

Ximen Qingxue was greatly astonished, transforming into a shockingly bright arc, rising into the air. The Snow Magic Wand in her hand was waved mid-air, like a Nine Heavens Immortal scattering countless ice crystals to bombard Li Chen.

Li Chen glanced up at Ximen Qingxue, his pupils suddenly contracted, shooting out two streaks of flame that intertwined mid-air, coalescing into a fiercely burning fire dragon, causing the void to crackle and sizzle.

"Boom!"

The Ice Phoenix and Fire Dragon collided mid-air, and the surrounding onlookers instantly experienced the biting mix of Ice and Fire Double Heaven.

Li Chen rose against the sky, his figure quickly breaking the sound barrier, reaching a speed twenty times the speed of sound, like a beam of light, shooting towards Ximen Qingxue.

"Such speed!"

Even Teng Qianshan, the Chief Heavenly Pride of Wanli Sect known for speed, was left gaping in astonishment, unable to match—even the thought of it was far off.

Ximen Qingxue felt a jolt of surprise as Li Chen charged towards her.

Yet, the hundreds of meters' distance vanished in an instant, and before Ximen Qingxue could react, Li Chen was already before her.

Ximen Qingxue instinctively raised her Snow Magic Wand to block Li Chen.

"Swish!"

Li Chen's finger, swift like a gale and fierce like lightning, directly gripped Ximen Qingxue's slender, frosted wrist.

"Snow Fairy, I told you before, you are not my opponent. Now do you believe it?"

Ximen Qingxue struggled hard, but finding herself unable to break free from Li Chen's grasp, her brows immediately furrowed with frost.

But she pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth, curling it slightly, revealing a transparent ice soul like a pearl atop her tongue.
