A sinking feeling of impending doom struck Little Four, and although the stage was deathly cold, his clothes were totally soaked in sweat.
In order to dodge the continuous onslaught of ice cones, he had already been far outdoing his best efforts, and by this time he had already expended more than fifty percent of his own Heavenly Energy, and more so, a huge amount of spirit energy.
However, he knew that he had to continue, to persist to the end.
Trusting in his instincts that things were going to go badly, Little Four instantly reacted. The wings behind his back opened to their maximum capacity as he launched himself into the air at top speed, rising swiftly in flight.
Another thirty-six ice cones flew out again, speeding towards the thirty-six thick ice pillars. This time, the fresh new ice cones were actually a deep blue color, obviously the Heavenly Energy held within was far beyond that of the previous ones in both quality and quantity.
"Explode."
The next moment, the thirty-six new deep blue ice cones struck the thirty-six ice pillars, causing another round of loud explosions. The ice cones and pillars had exploded abruptly, spraying ice dust and shards across the entire stage.
At the same time, a violent and wild torrent of Water Attribute Heavenly Energy swept across the stage like a giant tsunami wave.
This Skill by Han Bing was one he had created on his own, with the Cone of Cold as a basis, and was called Frozen Sacrifice. Its sheer power and strength were so vast that even a normal Lower Level Zong Stage Heavenly Jewel Master might not be able to use a skill of matching power.
Han Bing did not want to waste any more time, and winning by having Little Four run out of energy would be humiliating to him. As such, he finally chose to use his self-created ace skill, and AOE skill that would definitely take down this crafty opponent.
At the same time, he could let the other Great Saint Lands see the power of their Blood Red Hell.
The thirty-six huge ice pillars did not all explode at the same time, instead doing so in a rhythmic fashion, and in a particular order. In this way, their combined explosive power soon formed a terrifying ice vortex; not only was the explosive power astonishing, but it also caused the entire temperature of the surroundings to plummet even further.
When the intense explosion rang out, all the Battle Teams in their respective Rest Houses could see clearly that the entire diamond-rock stage had turned an icy blue, the cold in the air spreading to them, chilling them to the bone. For a Water Attribute skill to be used to such an extent, it could already be said to be at an ultimate extreme.
The Consolidated weapon in Little Four's hand had disappeared. As soon as he sensed the incoming danger, he had reacted instantly. Alas, in that same instant, a terrifying explosion and ensuing cold reached his feet.
With his life hanging in the balance, Little Four's mind raced to find a solution. His reaction had already been lightning quick, managing to almost get out of the area of effect; as the Frozen Sacrifice struck, he was already thirty meters into the air, at least managing to avoid the major brunt of the blast.
Alas, he was still caught in the edges of the explosion, and in mid-air, he was almost left vulnerable.
At the last moment, Little Four abruptly used both wings to wrap around his entire body, before he did something completely unexpected.
In a sudden movement, he flung out his hands, a waterskin appearing in his hands and bursting apart, and a spray of water was quickly sprayed around his body.
The temperature around the stage was unbelievably cold at that point, and even though Little Four had already wrapped his wings around himself, as the water appeared, it immediately froze around his body, forming a block of ice around him.
As long as the block of ice fell to the ground, then Little Four would shatter into pieces together with the block of ice. At the same time, another ice cone formed stealthily, pointing upwards right to where Little Four would land.
Just as the entire audience thought that Little Four would perish from that, an unexpected miracle occurred.
The block of ice containing Little Four would fall to a position about three yards from Han Bing, and currently, Han Bing did not have any defenses up. In the instant that the block of ice smashed onto the floor, something happened that no one expected.
Silver light. A bright silver light flashed in that instant, shocking Han Bing. Everything happened too fast, and before he could even figure out what had happened, the block of ice had already been pierced through by the ice cone. However, at that point, Han Bing could clearly see that Little Four was no longer encased within the ice block.
Han Bing felt a strange cold feeling from his neck, followed by a warm, sticky feel.
He did not feel any pain, but yet, as someone who trained with ice every day and never felt cold, he suddenly felt a sense of cold overwhelm him.
If Little Four was not inside the ice, where was he?
Currently, he was standing behind Han Bing, frozen in a strange position.
The wings on his back had long disappeared, and a short knife was in his hands, the silver light around it dissipating.
Little Four's expression was ugly, as he shivered unstoppably.
Bright red blood gushed out of the cut around Han Bing's neck, and as it met the cold air in the stage, a strange sight followed.
As the blood spurted from Han Bing's neck, it formed little beads of red ice in midair before falling to the ground
*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*
There was a long cut on his neck, totally severing Han Bing's windpipe and jugular vein.
Standing there fixedly, there was no despair in Han Bing's eyes, as he had not even understood what had happened.
By the time realization struck him, darkness had already overwhelmed him, and he no longer held the power of thought.
Up until Han Bing died, he did not even understand what had happened, and he died because of his own overconfidence.
"Han Bing!!"
A shrill voice rang out from the Dan Dun Battle Team Rest House, and immediately, a flash of red appeared as a figure zoomed from the Rest House toward the stage.
