Chapter 428
The final battle of the elimination rounds!
The global livestream of the national war was in an uproar; the events in Murmansk were beyond imagination. A riot in an abyss ranked among the top five most dangerous in the world had broken its seal, and the resulting disaster was of national annihilation scale, affecting the entire northern part of the Russian Bear Kingdom and the Nordic countries.
But fortunately.
There are three days left.
Just as netizens in Nordic countries were filled with anxiety, each country issued an emergency notice.
"The abyss is approaching, and danger and madness threaten our living space at all times, but fortunately, there are always some people standing in front of us. There were in the past, and there are still now."
—Official website of Da Xia.
"A salute to the adventurers of Mormans."
"Traitors have no right to breathe the same air as us. We will hunt them down to the ends of the earth." — Official statement from the Russian Empire.
"The Lord will protect all his devout people from the suffering of the abyss." —Nordic Kingdom
"Things have come to this point, and for the safety of the players, the national war should be canceled!" — America.
……
Within the space of national war.
The battle between Lin Qingyan and Christina has officially begun.
Everyone watched with bated breath.
When the martial arts pressures of both sides collided, golden light and ice-blue pillars shot into the sky, and the golden sword domain and ice-blue kingdom completely separated the battlefield.
In just the first round of combat, the terrain was altered and the sky was torn apart!
Jiang Yuan rested his chin on his hand, his eyes narrowed.
"This is already the scene of a battle between ninth-tier Grandmasters."
"Incredible..."
"I think I see the shadow of the Sword Emperor from before, and the legendary Ice Moon Heavenly Lord. The quality of this year's contestants is truly outstanding."
"Previous editions weren't nearly this exaggerated. I'm tired of talking about the Golden Age."
"No wonder the Abyss would go to such lengths to attack Mormans. It's to nip the threat in the bud."
"Wait... why is that girl from Great Xia's blood and energy suddenly surging?!"
"A secret technique?! No... this is... she's about to break through?!"
Amidst the gasps of the crowd...
Lin Qingyan took a step forward, advancing from the peak of the sixth-level martial artist to the seventh-level grandmaster realm.
Snowflakes fell heavily, freezing some golden sword shadows in the void.
"Not bad." Christina's eyes held both appreciation and fighting spirit. "Now there's no difference in cultivation level, and we can have a proper battle."
"Come on. You are the challenger." Lin Qingyan said calmly, her long hair turning into a transparent ice blue. She unleashed the full power of Empress Qingyan, her aura sweeping across the universe and shaking all directions.
"Wow~" Yan Runan covered her mouth in amazement.
Chen Xi, An Tianzong, and the others were also somewhat surprised.
To consider Christina, who defeated Sikong, as a challenger is nothing short of arrogant.
Sikong burst into laughter, "Hahaha, so Lin Xuemei has this side to her!! I really underestimated her!!"
"Perhaps that's why Professor Jiang thinks so highly of her," Chen Xi said in a low voice.
Lin Qingyan pointed a finger down, and countless ice lotuses bloomed in the void.
The Ice God's Domain unfolds!
Unlike her battle with Jiang Yuan in the Abyss instance of Nanjiang City, after entering the Grandmaster realm, her Ice God Domain expanded to a radius of 100,000 meters, covering the entire battlefield!
Some students who had previously attended Nanjiang No. 1 Middle School witnessed this scene and were filled with mixed emotions.
"It hasn't been that long, and that school beauty Lin has already become so amazing."
"I even wrote her love letters; I can brag about that for the rest of my life."
"I even beat up Jiang Shen before (whispering)"
"Me too, I was pretty weak before Jiang Shen rose to prominence."
"Wow, guys, are you all this brave? You could brag about this for ten lifetimes."
"I suggest including the family genealogy."
"A god of ginger and a god of ice, how could such a small city like Nanjiang produce two freaks?"
"The Twin Stars of Nanjiang are invincible."
……
Christina bent her legs and shot out like a meteor, transforming into a golden meteor.
All the ice attacks that came toward her were blocked by the barrier that came with the sword sheath.
When Lin Qingyan activated the Divine Word Master skill.
All control skills are also negated by Christina's legendary class, "Sword Sage," which grants her the unique ability to be "untargetable."
To match her extreme speed.
This prevented Lin Qingyan from continuously speaking divine words, as she was precisely interrupted each time.
Even techniques like the "Ice Prison" could not break through the scabbard's defenses.
"It seems that talent and professional skills alone are not enough to suppress you." Lin Qingyan calmly drew her ice sword from the void.
Christina smiled and said, "Defense is pointless; let's settle this head-on."
"As you wish."
Ice wings sprouted from Lin Qingyan's back, instantly increasing her speed.
The two sides launched into fierce combat at a speed that was imperceptible to ordinary people.
Only now have people realized this.
It turns out that the Ice God also possesses such top-notch swordsmanship, able to hold his own against Christina in a duel.
But gradually...
People noticed something was wrong.
How...
Christina seems to be gradually losing ground?!
The strength she displayed didn't seem as formidable as it had been during her battle with Sikong!
Oreo suddenly discovered.
"No, Christina's speed has slowed down!"
"This is……?!"
The sage Sheen said, "It was probably due to the influence of those ice crystals that her speed was slowed down, including her senses. Otherwise, she would have noticed it."
"The chill is terrifying; it can affect a person's soul invisibly. If it weren't for that sword sheath, Christina's life force would probably have been gradually frozen."
