Chapter 1423
Meanwhile, in the fighting ring, Faxon was giving Fade a contemptuous smirk. A chilling aura, along
with his terrifying and imposing energy, surrounded him. "This is the improvised version of my
family''s secret technique, the Thousand-miles Freezing Skill. Originally, this unique skill could only
be performed by Heaven Level martial artists, but now, I can perform it too."
"You still have a final chance. Anyst words?" Faxon said smugly.
Fade flicked his gaze between the arrogant Faxon and the frozenke, then shook his head.
"Thousand- miles Freezing Skill? You''re only utilizing ice-ss positive energy to freeze the surface
of the water. It''s a mere child''s trick."
He shook his head and continued, "The real Thousand- miles Freezing Skill is able to summon a
snowstorm with a thought. You are still far from that."
Faxon pulled a long face and spat, "You arrogant b*stard, I see you haven''t lost your silver tongue.
Then, I''ll let you have a taste of what my Thousand-miles Freezing Skill is capable of."
He waved his right hand as he spoke, and a one-meter-long icicle emerged from the frozen surface
of theke. Sunlight bounced back as it hit the crystal clear icicle, and colorful spotlights projected
from its surface.
"Go!" Faxon roared, and the icicle whizzed out like a sharp sword, darting toward Fade''s chest.
The attack nearing, Fade stood where he was and blew a gust of air out of his mouth. The breath
turned into a sword and hit the icicles directly. The icicles instantly smashed and exploded into ice
powder, then sprinkled down from the sky.
"Humph!" Faxon red at him icily and lifted his left hand.
Immediately, another ice- sword shaped icicle sprang out from theke and attacked.
This time, Faxon didn''t stop his movements, and his right hand also moved simultaneously. Crystal
clear ice swords gleamed as they shot out from theke and drew arcs across the sky. Theynded
behind Faxon and arranged themselves densely into a row, forming a dreamlike and colorful sword
formation.
"Out!"
As he swept his hand and gave the order, hundreds of ice swords behind him roared past him in an
instant, forming a sword rain that directly aimed towards Fade.
The ice swords advanced rapidly with close formation, sending chills that slithered through one''s
spine as if they were going to pierce through and freeze everything in front of them.
Many martial artists sucked in a deep breath as they watched on the shore. Even from afar, the
sight of the sword formation was already enough to make their hairs stand on end.
Even the other participants from the top 8 were dumbstruck, sighing andmenting.
"Faxon''s move is too powerful. If I was Fade, I would have no choice but to surrender."
"Thank God I admitted defeat very quickly in the first round, so Young Master Chiang didn''t get to
use this move. Otherwise, I would''ve died for sure."
"Fade is in danger now. I wonder how he will deal with it."
"In my opinion, the best way is undeniably to admit defeat. Although he may lose face, it''s the safest
way."
Many contestants nodded in agreement. From their point of view, it was not a big deal to lose to
Faxon after all. Besides, they were still young, and they still had a long way to go. There was no
need to wager their own lives in this kind ofpetition.
However, just as they were expressing their approval, beside them, Romeo sneered and said, "Are
you kidding? Asking Mr. Chen to give up?"
A few yers suddenly snapped their heads to look at him when they heard hisment. They
frowned and said, "Romeo, do you have a different opinion?"
He replied, "Of course I do. I believe that not only will Fade not give in, he will also win the
competition."
"Romeo, jesting, are we! Once Faxon performed the Thousand-miles Freezing Skill, the oue
has been destined."
"Romeo, I think you are scrambling for an excuse for yourself. After all, during the semi-finals, you
didn''t even fight Fade and admitted defeat straight away. You are exaggerating Fade''s strength to
save your own face!"
Romeo snorted. "It''s not a shame to lose to Mr. Chen! In fact, it''s Faxon''s honor to fight with him
today."
To the other contestants, Romeo''s words were more and more outrageous, as if he was trying to put
Fade on a sky-high pedestal. The few of them shook their heads and refused to concern
themselves with Romeo any longer.
"A group of short-sighted men." Romeo ignored them and returned his focus to the main fighting
ring.
Although Romeo was almost 100% sure that Fade could win, he still wanted to find out how he
would deflect Faxon''s Thousand-miles Freezing Skill.
At this moment, Fade stood tall on the stage as he red at the ice swords that wereing at him
from all directions. He narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "His aura is strong enough, andCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
the disy he put on was majestic. Hell, it does look quite frightening."
"However, empty vessels make the most noise. These ice swords are nothing but ordinary icicles,
which can be smashed easily. They don''t pose much lethality at all. The ice swords condensed by
real ice-ss masters are harder than steel and colder than frost."
"This so-called ''Thousand-miles Freezing Skill'' still pales inparison," he said as he shook his
head.
On the other side of the fighting ring, Faxon overheard Fade''s whisper. He raised his eyebrows in
dissatisfaction. "Such audacity! In that case, take this, the Thousand-miles Freezing Skill!"
As he spoke, his hands swung violently and he channeled his positive energy into the ice swords.
The swords sped up and whistled loudly as they charged towards Fade, leaving him no room to
escape.
The swords were closing in on Fade. At this moment, he squinted gently and then raised his right
hand. His eyes were riveted on the swords, and he shouted, "Melt!"
In the blink of an eye, a flurry of fiery-red positive energy spewed out from his palm. The positive
energy me carried with it an extremely scorching heatwave, and it devoured all of the iing
ice swords.
The ice swords melted when they came into contact with the mes, turned into water, and pitter-
pattered like drops of rain. As soon as the water droplets touched the ground, they sizzled and
evaporated into the air. Shortly, white mist rose from the ground and enveloped the entire fighting
ring like a veil, obscuring the view from the crowd.
"What''s going on? What happened?"
"What in god''s name is that fiery positive energy? That impact gives me the creeps!"
"Surprisingly, Fade has a hidden tricky move. How could he be so good at hiding it?"
Everyone guessed and debated. At this moment, Faxon was shrouded in a white fog, his
expressions turning gloomy.
Less than ten meters away from Fade, he could feel the zing heat more than anyone else when
Fade''s fiery positive energy was directed at him.
Faxon shifted his positive energy to shield from Fade''s fiery energy, but to his horror, he discovered
that the energy was all too powerful. His positive energy instantly shattered the instant it mmed
into Fade''s.
Waves of heat swept over him, making him sweat profusely. He was on the verge of copsing.
