　　“Chen Hao, you better think clearly. Once I make a move, I will show no mercy, even if you are Amon’s disciple.”
　　Nie Chen said coldly.
　　“Although my mentor has never admitted me as his disciple, you are not even worthy to mention his name.”
　　Chen Hao looked at Nie Chen with a disgusted expression.
　　Upon hearing this, Nie Chen’s face instantly turned cold.
　　Along with it, the temperature in the surroundings also dropped.
　　“Crack,　crack,　crack…”
　　Centered on Nie Chen, the thick snow on the ground was freezing into ice at a visible speed.
Seeing this scene, the cultivators of Western Zhou are all retreated.
　　In the blink of an eye, on the open space in front of the Tianyin Hall, only Chen Hao, the disciple of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, and Nie Chen, the elder of the Yellow Maple Valley, were left.
　　“Swish！”
　　Facing the cold air that Nie Chen had already covered the entire open space in front of the hall, Chen Hao only raised his sword and slashed in front of him.
With a “boom”, a transparent wall formed by a sword qi isolated the cold air released by Elder Nie Chen.
　　At the same time, a tenacious sword intent spread out from Chen Hao.
　　This was the pine and bamboo sword intent he had obtained from practicing swordsmanship for sixty years in the pine and bamboo forest of the Pure Yang Sword Sect.
　　“As expected of the most tenacious sword among the young generation of sword cultivators.”
　　Nie Chen had his hands tucked in his sleeves, and as he paced, he stared at Chen Hao and said.
　　Even though he was a God Refinement cultivator, in the face of a sword cultivator, he didn’t dare to be negligent.
　　Moreover, this Chen Hao had a master named Amon.
　　“I’m not happy at all to be praised by you.”
　　Chen Hao sneered coldly.
　　At this time, he seemingly held the sword casually, but judging from his already straightened body, he had already assumed a posture ready to draw the sword at any time.
　　And upon hearing these words, Nie Chen of the Yellow Maple Valley snorted softly, and then flipped his palm, gently clenching it with the palm facing upwards.
　　“Swish！”
　　Almost simultaneously, a huge ice thorn stabbed out from beneath Chen Hao’s feet.
　　“Bang！”
　　Fortunately, Chen Hao had long since condensed the sword qi to protect his body. Before the ice thorn could pierce through his body-protecting sword qi, it had already been cut off by his sword.
　　“Whoosh,　whoosh,　whoosh！”
　　But just as Chen Hao’s sword had just cut off that ice spike, as Nie Chen’s hands suddenly lifted upwards, on the open ground in front of the Tianyin Hall, ice spikes stabbed out one after another, and some of them were even longer than the roof.
　　Chen Hao was overwhelmed and had several blood holes pierced in his body.
　　“Zheng！”
　　Seeing that the open ground at the entrance of the main hall was about to be completely wrapped by ice spikes, Chen Hao mobilized the few remaining zhenyuan in his body and swept out with a sword.
　　“Shua！”
　　Amid the sound of breaking the air, the sword qi in the shape of bamboo leaves and pine needles, with Chen Hao’s sword, suddenly exploded and scattered on the open ground in front of the main hall.
　　With a “bang”, all the ice spikes in front of the hall were cut off by this sword.
　　“Shua！”
　　But at this moment, the broken ice all over the ground suddenly condensed into a thick ice spike and stabbed out suddenly from under Chen Hao.
　　“Pu chi！”
　　Chen Hao’s body-protecting sword qi was broken, and his body was pierced and hung on that ice pillar.
　　It turned out that Nie Chen had been waiting for Chen Hao to make a move all along, because as long as Chen Hao made a move, the body-protecting sword qi would inevitably weaken, and he would have the opportunity to strike.
　　“Shua！”
　　However, that Chen Hao was extremely tenacious.
　　Even in this situation, he could still swing his sword to cut off that ice thorn, and then gather all the last bit of true essence in his body onto the sword.
　　“Zheng！”
　　With another sword hum, Chen Hao’s long and slender sword flew out like a bolt of lightning with a “boom” sound.
　　One sword stabbed towards that Nie Chen.
　　But at the moment when this sword was stabbed, that Nie Chen very calmly raised his hand, and immediately a series of ice walls composed of ice thorns rose in front of him.
　　“Peng,　Peng,　Peng！”
　　Chen Hao’s flying sword, after successively breaking through three ice walls, but finally still failed to stab Nie Chen behind the ice wall.
　　It was stuck on the last ice wall.
　　At the same time, Nie Chen reached out and clenched in the direction of Chen Hao, and with a “shua” sound, more than a dozen sharp ice thorns born from the ground stabbed towards Chen Hao in unison.
　　“Ci la！”
　　Chen Hao was just sandwiched in the middle by more than a dozen ice thorns, and could only barely rely on the body-protecting sword energy to resist these ice thorns from further piercing his body.
　　“Chen Hao, give you another chance, take me to find that Du Gu Qing Xiao.”
　　Nie Chen held his hands in his sleeves, very easily stepped to the center of the field, and looked at Chen Hao with a smile on his face.
　　“Tui！”
　　Chen Hao didn’t say anything, just spat at that Nie Chen.
　　”Since you are so stubborn, then I don’t bother to give Amon face anymore.”
　　Nie Chen, whose complexion turned gloomy again, snorted coldly.
　　The reason why he was so vigilant in his actions, apart from the fact that Chen Hao was a sword cultivator, the main reason was still Amon behind him.
　　However, Chen Hao’s repeated “failure to appreciate kindness” made him lose patience.
　　I saw him raise his head and gently clenched in the direction of Chen Hao.
　　In an instant, the ice thorns that were originally blocked by the sword energy around Chen Hao’s body pierced Chen Hao’s body-protecting sword qi little by little, and then pierced into his body.
Although Chen Hao’s body was already scarred, most of them were only skin traumas, and there were not many that really hurt the vital parts.
　　But this time was different. If these ice thorns were all allowed to stab in, not only would his internal organs be pierced, but he would also be eroded by the cold air, and no matter how precious the elixir was, it would not be able to save him.
Many cultivators outside the field cheered when they saw this scene.
　　These cultivators all had more or less sword wounds from Chen Hao, and after being blocked for so long, they had long been filled with resentment towards him in their hearts.
　　At the same time, many people also began to itch with excitement, wanting to follow Nie Chen and rush into the Tianyin Hall together to find out.
　　”Boom！”
　　But at this moment, a coercion carrying a violent fire yuan aura, like a huge palm, heavily slapped on the open ground in front of the Tianyin Hall.
　　Some cultivators were directly sent flying backwards by this coercion.
　　“Despicable rat, do you dare to show up and fight me, Nie Chen！”
　　At this time, Nie Chen let out a furious shout, and then a huge coercion surged up around his body, instantly dispersing the coercion in the sky carrying the violent fire yuan aura.
　　The cultivators all heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn’t help but sigh again in their hearts at the strength of Elder Nie Chen’s cultivation.
　　At the same time, many cultivators looked up at the sky, wanting to see where that coercion came from.
　　Just then, a glaring fire suddenly lit up in the air.
