At the beginning of Niujia Village, my sister-in-law and I depended on each other.

Taoyuan County, Xiangxi
The sudden appearance of thunder in the sky and the fierce entanglement of blazing light in the air caused great panic among the people below.

But the noise only flashed across the county town, and then rushed to the suburbs.

"master!"

"Leader Hong!"

"Look over there!"

On the top of a mountain, Zhu Ziliu looked at the lightning flashing rapidly towards him in the distance. He called out in horror to his master Yideng and the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Hong Qigong, who was visiting him.

Yideng and Hong Qigong seemed to have noticed the sound long ago. As soon as Zhu Ziliu finished speaking, the two of them led a few people out of the stone chamber quickly.

When they saw the scene in the mountains in the distance, their faces changed drastically. Yideng reacted and looked at his disciple Wu Santong in a hurry: "Santong, go and inform the monks in the temple. If the movement affects this place, tell them to take precautions!"

"Yes, Master!" Although Wu San Tong looked a little depressed, he did not dare to delay at this moment. He clasped his fists towards his master and hurriedly ran to the temple.

"Brother Qi, are you willing to go with me to investigate the situation?" Yideng looked solemn as he stared at Hong Qigong.

Hong Qigong did not hesitate. He faintly heard the sound of a dragon roar coming from the battle in the distance. He nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "That's exactly what the old beggar meant!"

After saying this, he and Yideng seemed to have a tacit understanding and flew down the mountain together.

Under a waterfall
Half of the river had been nearly boiling due to the golden light, with hot steam rising from the surface of the water; the other half had been completely frozen into ice, emitting an extremely cold and rich icy air.

"If we don't leave now, you and I will die here!" Feeling the pressure from the soul, the old monk was shocked and frightened, and he couldn't help but shouting while using his internal energy.

Shaolin Temple is more than a thousand miles away from Taoyuan County. The powerful celestial being arrived there in an hour, but even at such a speed, they were unable to escape the thunder in the sky.

At this moment, the purple lightning in the sky became more and more dense, as if it would strike down at any time. He felt like a thorn in his back and his scalp began to tingle.

"Old ghost, you are too nervous." After Niu Dingtian sent out an ice dragon, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled, "I said that if you wanted to leave, I would protect you, but you didn't want to."

The old monk's face froze and he was extremely angry.

But he didn't dare to continue to fight with Niu Dingtian, so he said with a fake smile: "You can just say it if you want my power. Why don't we fight directly and see who takes the power. Let's see who wins."

"Okay, as you wish."

Niu Dingtian withdrew his power, and the blazing light he emitted disappeared, leaving only the biting coldness of the ice under his feet.

The old monk also dispersed the golden light, and without saying anything nonsense, he directly moved his palm to flash onto the ice surface, and his figure arrived in an instant.

"boom!"

The two palms came into contact with each other with a loud bang. An invisible vortex was instantly formed with the palms of the two people as the center, and a terrifying sucking force surged out from it.

"You really know the North Sea Divine Art!" Feeling the crazy suction coming from the palm of his hand, the old monk's face became increasingly ferocious.

Then, he began to grin grimly: "I have already learned Senior Brother's Bei Ming Divine Art when it was first created. Who gave you the courage to show off your skills in front of me?"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with golden light, and a strange power suddenly surged out of his body, abruptly breaking the suction force between the two people.

Niu Dingtian raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling surprised. He tried to use his strength to break free, but found that his palm seemed to be clamped by an iron clamp, and his strength began to leak out.

As his internal power flowed into the old monk's body, an icy chill gradually rose from his entire body, and even large pieces of ice crystals formed on his snow-white eyebrows.

"How does it compare to the cold energy you practiced back then?" Niu Dingtian let the Taiyin internal force leak out. He looked at the old monk in front of him, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and asked with a smile.

The old monk's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer. He endured the bone-chilling cold and increased the suction force again.

But then, his face suddenly became solemn. When he finally felt that his internal energy was leaking out instead of improving, he could not help but change his expression and asked in horror, "How could this happen?"

"Let go!" The old monk reacted, shouted angrily, and hurriedly let go of the door, then used all his strength to break free.

But once the door was released, not only did his palm not separate, but the internal strength was like a river flowing into the sea and could no longer be contained.

"This isn't the Divine Art of the North Sea!" Feeling his body quickly weaken, the old monk was shocked and horrified, and couldn't help but roar:

"Boy, you are kidding me! How dare you kid me! This is not the North Sea Divine Art! The North Sea Divine Art cannot be this powerful!"

Niu Dingtian ignored him, slowly closed his eyes, and used all his strength to activate the devouring technique. Feeling the extremely powerful power pouring into his body, he felt all the pores on his body expand and relax.

"It was indeed called Bei Ming before, but it won't be called that anymore." Niu Dingtian continued to exert his power, closed his eyes and said:
"From now on, I'll call you Tuntian."

As he spoke, he felt an unprecedented surge of power flowing into his body, and a sense of fullness in his body. He seemed to want the old monk to give up, and said calmly:
"You don't have to beg. I've been waiting for you to absorb my power for a whole night. You should know that I won't let you go."

The old monk's eyes turned into despair, and his body collapsed on the ice, his face full of resentment and anger: "Why, why did you tease me just now? Why did you let me be proud of my martial arts? Why didn't you just suck me up just now?"

Niu Dingtian smiled, opened his eyes, looked at the old monk, and said meaningfully: "My power is extremely cold, and your power is extremely yang. Why don't I just absorb you directly?"

"Why?"

The old monk raised his head with difficulty.

"Of course I'm worried about losing my appetite." Niu Dingtian said calmly, "Instead of suffering like you just did, why not neutralize it in advance."

"you……"

The old monk was furious when he heard this, but he even had some difficulty speaking, and could only weakly say: "I really regret it. I regret that when you came to Shaolin, I didn't just come out of the cave and suck you dry!"

"You are just too confident in your own strength. Aren't you waiting for my Arhat Subduing Demons Skill to be perfected and delivered to your door in person?" Niu Dingtian said calmly. "That martial art is not bad. When you ascend to heaven, I will improve the last level and pass it down, so that your efforts will not be in vain."

"If I, I die, you, you won't be able to survive either." A strange smile suddenly flashed across the old monk's mouth. He raised a finger with difficulty and pointed it tremblingly at the sky.

He silently calculated the time, and it seemed that the next thunder would soon fall.

He also felt palpitations when he saw the purple lightning. He didn't believe that Niu Dingtian could withstand this one. Even if he could, how many more could he withstand?
It's just that one of them dies first and the other dies later. They will meet again soon.

When this thought came to mind, the old monk seemed to feel that he was not so unwilling anymore.

Seeing this, Niu Dingtian looked at the old monk calmly, his eyes calm and peaceful, and whispered: "Do you know why I led you to Taoyuan?"

The old monk felt a little depressed and had a bad premonition.

"Over there is the spiritual spring." Niu Dingtian raised his hand, pointed above the waterfall, and said lightly.

Then, in the old monk's extremely horrified gaze, the two of them were instantly engulfed by a burst of white cold air, and the next moment, he lost consciousness.

Above the sky, purple lightning was like a coiled dragon, winding and surging.

In the river below, water dragons emerged from the water and, controlled by an invisible force, flew towards the ice where Niu Dingtian was and tightly entangled him.

The water dragon froze into ice, forming a huge ice ball, filled with extremely cold air, and the temperature around it instantly became bone-chillingly cold.

The ice ball grew bigger and bigger, gradually reaching the waterfall in front. As the coldness in the ice ball continued to pour out and became more and more intense, the river froze completely and the waterfall gradually condensed into ice, forming an ice waterfall landscape that looked like a white jade.

Niu Dingtian sat cross-legged in the center of the ice ball, with silver light flowing around his body. He continuously released the cold air of Taiyin, increasing the hardness of the ice ball.

He plans to use this opportunity to resist another wave of thunder.

At the same time, Yideng and Hong Qigong, who had rushed to the top of the waterfall, were shocked when they saw the scene below.

"This……"

Yideng looked at the thatched cottage by the river where his apprentice lived all year round. It was already covered with white frost, like an ice house.

Hong Qigong frowned, looked at the lightning in the sky and the ice ball below, and said in a deep voice: "This kind of scene is unprecedented. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

"Rumble--"

"Crack!"

At this moment, the purple lightning in the sky became more and more violent, a muffled thunder sounded, and lightning struck the huge ice ball one after another.

Under the bombardment of thunder, cracks appeared on the ice ball, but then a cold air surged out of it and the cracks were quickly frozen again.

"It's him?"

Hong Qigong exclaimed.

Lightning struck the ice ball, and the white cold air on the surface suddenly dissipated. He could vaguely see the figure inside through the flawless ice ball and was shocked.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, the air suddenly condensed, and an exceptionally thick bolt of lightning struck straight down. The ice ball shattered instantly, and countless ice cubes flew in all directions.

"What a thief!"

Niu Dingtian cursed angrily, and his figure was exposed. He was spitting blood and was obviously seriously injured.

“It’s really this guy!”

Yideng and Hong Qigong looked at each other and saw Niu Dingtian's tattered clothes with disbelief on their faces.

Then he flew down without hesitation, wanting to lend a helping hand.

However, just as he jumped off the waterfall, an invisible force pushed him back, and then a deep voice was clearly heard:
"Don't come near me, I can handle it!"

Before he finished speaking, Niu Dingtian activated his power again, the surrounding cold air gathered again, silver light surrounded his body, and the light flowed, actually forming a layer of ice armor around his body.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became silent. There was no more thunder or lightning. It was completely dark, with only an inexplicable aura that made people feel extremely nervous.

“Are there really gods?”

Niu Dingtian's eyelids were twitching wildly.

This gives people the feeling that there is a powerful will that is holding back tremendous anger.

Suddenly! His heart suddenly trembled, and the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up.

run! ! !
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Niu Dingtian's figure disappeared instantly and he rushed towards the cave desperately.

"Report the situation in Xiangyang for me..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words, a thunder force that seemed to come from the sky arrived in an instant, instantly blasting the mountain where the cave was located into pieces. (End of this chapter)
