Chapter 1535 - 1515: Mr. Master’s Second Battle with Ba Tianhu

Ba Tianhu and Mr. Master sat in the pavilion under the garden tree.

When Ba Tianhu mentioned sweeping through the valley, Mr. Master paused with his teacup in mid-air,

and the atmosphere suddenly turned extremely cold.

Mr. Master had beautiful hands, with ten fingers like jade.

"Creak!"

Glistening ice flowers spread from Mr. Master's fingertips,

and the half cup of hot tea in the teacup instantly solidified.

Pieces of ice flowers floated down from above the pavilion,

"Creak,"

an ice line shot up like lightning from the base of a nearby hundred-meter tree beside the pavilion,

the entire tree was immediately enveloped in ice and snow, transforming into a shimmering hundred-meter ice tree.

At the same time, Han Bing quickly spread out from around the pavilion, and in the blink of an eye, the valley entered what felt like a winter, completely covered in ice and snow,

all the buildings, including the flowers, grass, and trees in the valley, were covered with thick ice.

The thousands of people confronting each other at the front of the valley shivered simultaneously, feeling a chill encompass them.

"Creak creak..."

Crackling sounds rose one after another,

the ice and snow instantly broke through the valley's defense light screen, spreading rapidly outward along the ground.

The ice outside the valley seemed somewhat different from inside the valley, not only freezing the flowers, grass, and trees but also freezing Ba Tianhu's thousands of men into statues.

Except for the few hundred who had relatively strong evolution, the others instantly became ice sculptures, standing in place, their eyes showing terrified expressions.

"Wow!"

The surviving few hundred subordinates of Ba Tianhu let out terrified screams, each activating their defense light screens, desperately resisting the surrounding extreme cold and snow.

Second Master and others stood inside the valley, although feeling waves of cold, they weren't in mortal danger.

However, the fear in their hearts was no less than that of Ba Tianhu's subordinates.

Third Master glanced at Second Master and asked:

"Is it Mr. Master's Frozen Nine Heavens Divine Skill?"

"Besides Mr. Master, is there anyone else on the Central Continent with such terrifying Ice Element Techniques?"

"What do we do? Fight?"

"If Mr. Master doesn't give the word, we'll just stand here."

...

Inside the valley, in the garden behind Mr. Master's small building.

Mr. Master smiled behind her veil, quietly watching Ba Tianhu across from her, holding a teacup without moving.

Extreme Cold Energy continuously emanated from Mr. Master's jade fingertips, enveloping the surroundings in a world of millennium ice.

But except for a few ice flowers on her right hand, Mr. Master had no ice flowers on her body.

A ring of flame burned around Ba Tianhu, within two to three meters of the fire ring, there was not a single ice flower.

However, Ba Tianhu's expression was extremely grim, as he was clearly enduring the attack of Mr. Master's Frozen Nine Heavens Ice Element Divine Skill.

Ba Tianhu's inner shock was a wave higher than a wave; a year ago, Ba Tianhu had fought with Mr. Master over Yang Xiao, only slightly weaker than Mr. Master at that time.

After not seeing each other for a year, the combat power Mr. Master displayed was far beyond the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm, at least the Emperor Level Advanced Realm.

"This is terrifying! Could Mr. Master have broken through to the Emperor Level Advanced Realm in a year?"

Ba Tianhu was horrified.

"Ba Tianhu, do you think you're going to sweep through the Dark Web Headquarters Valley with just a few thousand men? You really don't regard me at all!"

Mr. Master finally spoke slowly.

Ba Tianhu gritted his teeth and said:

"Mr. Master, just now, just now was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Hmph, I announced a year ago that City of Hope and five other cities belong to the Dark Web's territory. Yet you dare come and say you want to take three of my cities and even guide me on how to manage cities? Do you really consider yourself the ruler of the Central Continent?

Yang Xiao might be missing, but so what?

Am I missing too?"

Ba Tianhu felt the surrounding cold getting closer, like silver needles, trying to penetrate his fire ring.

Ba Tianhu wasn't sure how much longer he could resist, nor did he know the extent to which Mr. Master's Genetic Evolution Realm had progressed.

With the cloak and veil, Ba Tianhu couldn't see her facial expressions or gauge her Qi consumption.

A sense of unknown fear grew within Ba Tianhu, not wanting to forcibly sustain any longer.

"Mr. Master, I acted impulsively, I admit my mistake. Consider my presence in the valley today as non-existent, and whatever I said before as nonsense."

Mr. Master slowly exhaled, and the ice flowers on her fingers instantly disappeared.

The ice block in the teacup also instantly melted.

A blue flame encompassed the teacup, causing the water inside to boil and steam.

The ice and snow in the garden disappeared, and the ice on the hundred-meter tree vanished along with it, the cold covering the entire valley receded rapidly, visibly.

Second Master and others felt as if transitioning from winter to spring, then to summer.

Mr. Master said lightly:

"Ba Tianhu, you may leave now. You're welcome to come next time for tea!"

Ba Tianhu stood up, cupped his fists and bowed to Mr. Master,

"Mr. Master, I was too impulsive this time, goodbye."

Then he disappeared from view instantly, flying off towards the valley's entrance.

When Ba Tianhu rushed out of the Dark Web Valley, the scene made him dizzy.

The thousands of elite subordinates he brought were now reduced to about four to five hundred people, the rest standing as ice sculptures, motionless.

Ba Tianhu walked up to a frozen guard, touched him, and the guard fell to the ground, still maintaining a rigid posture.

"This?"

Ba Tianhu wanted to roar, wanted to curse, yet suddenly recalled the scene in the valley garden, not daring to utter a word of curse.

Suppressing the anger in his chest, he looked at the remaining four to five hundred men and growled softly:

"Go!"

The remaining guards heard Ba Tianhu's words like receiving a death reprieve, disappearing into the air after a few instances of instantaneous movement.

They had witnessed the deadly extreme cold freeze their brothers, not wanting to linger a moment longer.

Under the crowd's escort, Ba Tianhu flew dozens of kilometers away before roaring into the sky:

"Wow, I'm furious!"

Just as Ba Tianhu left the valley, Mr. Master let out a "puff," coughing up blood, hands clutching the tea table, trembling uncontrollably.

Mr. Master quickly took out a porcelain bottle, poured out two green elixir medicines, and put them in her mouth. Moments later, her pale face regained a hint of color.

Second Master and others rushed to stand in front of Mr. Master's small building.

"Subordinates greet Mr. Master, Ba Tianhu and the others have retreated."

"Second Master, you will oversee the operations of the Dark Web for the time being."

"Mr. Master, just now you...?"

"Step back, I have other matters."

"Yes."
