Chapter 683: Chapter 182: Invincible at Acupoint Opening? Sorry, You’re in the Wrong Place

’Stop... I have to make it stop!’

The vibrations gave Bai Bing’er a splitting headache, and she felt as if she were about to start bleeding from her eyes, ears, and nose. In a panic, she cut off the supply of her Primordial Qi, forcibly retracting the "Extreme Cold Ice Cones" that filled the air.

The rain of ice abruptly ceased, and the terrifying thunderous roar vanished along with it.

A deathly silence fell over the entire arena.

Hiding behind a block of ice, Bai Bing’er gasped for breath, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

However, before she could even catch her breath, a bone-chillingly hot aura appeared with shocking abruptness right behind the ice she was hiding in!

’Impossible!’

Bai Bing’er’s pupils contracted violently, her heart pounding with terror.

’How did he pinpoint my location so accurately?!’

Before she could even react—

BOOM!

A flash of a black saber, carrying mountain-shattering force, brutally smashed the massive ice pillar she was hiding behind!

Amidst a shower of ice shards, Bai Bing’er staggered back wretchedly.

She conjured a massive ice shield behind her, blocking Chu Fan for a brief moment.

Then, she gritted her teeth and flicked her sleeve—

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The remaining layer of ice on the ground instantly shattered, transforming into several sharp ice spikes that shot diagonally toward Chu Fan’s groin, throat, and other vital points!

But Chu Fan’s movements were like lightning. He activated his "Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step," and the ice spikes couldn’t even touch his shadow.

He traced an uncanny arc across the arena, instantly appearing before Bai Bing’er just as she was trying to escape into another block of ice!

In Bai Bing’er’s eyes, that cold, indifferent face now looked like that of a Demon God.

’This guy’s speed... how can he be so fast!!’

Bai Bing’er’s stunningly beautiful face instantly turned ashen, her eyes filled with despair.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the block of ice that could save her—

RATTLE! RATTLE!

The heart-pounding sound of rattling chains echoed out.

On Chu Fan’s left wrist, the "Demon-locking Chain," which looked like an ordinary bracelet, was activated by the "Demon-locking Technique" and instantly transformed into a black spirit serpent.

It shot forward, coiling around her with the speed of lightning!

In an instant, it had tightly bound Bai Bing’er’s slender body.

A Spiritual Light flashed, directly sealing the Cold Ice Primordial Qi within her!

’I’m done for...’

Bai Bing’er’s heart turned to ash as she felt her body suddenly go light.

The chain yanked her violently into the air, swinging her through a cruel arc.

With no pity for her beauty, Chu Fan put his strength into it and, as if tossing aside a dead dog, brutally slammed the prodigy of the Profound Ice Palace onto the ground!

THUD!

With the sickening impact, blood bloomed in the air like a red lotus.

Bai Bing’er slammed heavily onto the arena’s hard Cyan Yang stone slabs, bouncing once like a ragdoll.

No longer able to maintain her image as a cold, aloof fairy, she opened her mouth and coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

It felt as if all her internal organs had been displaced by the impact, and a piercing pain shot through her.

The Primordial Qi in her body was completely sealed by the strange chain, leaving her unable to muster even a shred of strength.

Before she could even recover from the shock—

SHING!

An icy chill pressed against her neck.

A black Long Saber was held steadily against her fair, slender neck.

The grim killing intent radiating from the blade gave her goosebumps.

Bai Bing’er’s body instantly went rigid, and the fear of death sobered her in an instant.

"I surrender!"

She shrieked, her voice cracking under the strain.

She had no doubt that if she had shouted half a breath later, this man, who had no pity for a woman’s beauty, would have unhesitatingly cut off her head!

This arena battle was not just to determine a winner, but also to decide life and death!

’In this madman’s eyes, I’m not a beauty, just a corpse that’s still breathing.’

Hearing her words of surrender, Chu Fan’s expression remained indifferent. With a flick of his wrist, he sheathed his Long Saber.

The motion was as smooth as flowing water, without a hint of hesitation.

The "Demon-locking Chain" binding Bai Bing’er loosened, contracting rapidly like a small, obedient black snake.

It reverted to an inconspicuous black bracelet, clasping itself quietly around his left wrist.

On the high platform, a flicker of a smile crossed Qingyangzi’s eyes as he announced in a loud voice, "In this match, Chu Fan of the Demon Suppression Bureau is victorious, and Bai Bing’er of the Profound Ice Palace is defeated!"

Bai Bing’er struggled to her feet. Her once spotless white robes were now stained with dirt and blood.

She wiped the lingering blood from the corner of her mouth, her gaze complex as she looked at the man before her.

"Thank you for your mercy..." She bit her lip, but ultimately couldn’t stop herself from asking.

Her tone was filled with deep indignation and confusion. "How did you find me?"

"Even someone with the Divine Sense of a late-stage Bright Heart Realm cultivator would have a hard time perceiving my True Body so precisely with my ’Ice Soul Escape Technique’!"

She had absolute confidence in her Concealing Skill—it was a secret art of the Profound Ice Palace, never taught to outsiders!

However, Chu Fan acted as if he hadn’t heard her.

He didn’t spare the stunning beauty a single glance, instead turning and walking straight back to the center of the arena.

Gripping his saber hilt once more, his hawk-like eyes swept across the surroundings as he bellowed in a deep voice, "WHO—ELSE—IS—THERE!"

His powerful voice boomed, reverberating throughout the entire venue.

’What? He’s ignoring me!’

Bai Bing’er froze on the spot, so angry she nearly coughed up another mouthful of blood.

’This man... he has a heart of stone!’

’It’s one thing not to show pity for a woman, but to treat me like thin air, not even bothering to spare a single word, not even a taunt!’

’This silent contempt is worse than death!’

Bai Bing’er shot a venomous glare at Chu Fan’s back, her eyes filled with utter resentment.

In the end, she could only stomp her foot and walk off the stage, brimming with shame and indignation.

Around them, a deathly silence reigned.

Everyone was still lost in the brief but stunning exchange that had just occurred.

The barrier around the arena did not block scans from Divine Sense.

Therefore, when Bai Bing’er had hidden within the ice, many experts in the audience, including the various Sect Elders, had released their Divine Sense to cover the arena, trying to find where she was hiding.

But among the thousands present, very few had actually managed to locate Bai Bing’er’s True Body!
