[Star Frost Faction Underground Base Ice Cave Passage]
Chen Xing's scarlet blade light poured down on Jeremiah like a rainstorm, each strike wrapped in scorching blood flames, making the air in the passage twist.
Jeremiah's figure dodged frantically amidst the blade light, his permed hair damp with melting ice water, and even the hem of his gray hoodie was scorched black by the flames.
The ice layer that once covered the passage was long gone, leaving only wet traces of water.
And these water stains, under the evaporation of Chen Xing's blood flames, instantly turned into a dense white mist.
The entire underground passage was enveloped in a strange heat, like a scorching sauna.
Starlight Technique: Ice Prism Hell!
Within the white mist, Jeremiah suddenly raised his hand, and over a dozen ice prisms as thick as arms condensed in mid-air.
These ice prisms glowed with a faint blue cold light, clearly having condensed more Starlight energy than the ice techniques he had used against Chen Kong before.
But when these ice prisms approached the three-meter radius around Chen Xing, she expressionlessly gripped her demon blade and gently flicked her wrist.
The next second, scarlet flames instantly swirled into a vortex, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, swallowing all the ice prisms in one gulp.
There was no jarring collision sound, nor any trace of ice shattering. The seemingly sharp ice prisms couldn't even last half a second in the flame vortex before being completely evaporated into water vapor, leaving not a single shard of ice crystal behind.
"Jeremiah, is that... all you've got?"
Chen Xing's voice came from within the flame vortex. Her beautiful, cold face showed no emotion, only a hint of clear disappointment in her eyes.
Initially, when she saw that Jeremiah had mastered partial elementalization, she thought he could provide her with some 'fun.'
But the reality was she had thought too much.
Because Jeremiah's elementalization was temporarily limited only to his limbs, unable to achieve complete form transformation. This meant his body still had 'vulnerable points,' preventing him from fighting without any reservations.
Such an opponent was simply unworthy of her giving her all.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah leaned against the passage wall, panting heavily, a trace of helplessness on his face.
If it were any other Star Envoy of the same rank, he wouldn't find it so tricky.
His 'Star Core: Frost Giant: Elementalization' allowed him to be immune to most physical attacks.
His 'Star Source: Arbiter of Sloth: Asset Freeze' could even weaken his opponent's power, achieving a balance of gain and loss.
But against Chen Xing, these abilities felt like punching cotton—completely ineffective.
Leaving aside the 'Extreme Cold' being countered by 'Blood Flames,'
Just considering 'Asset Freeze,' he knew clearly that although Chen Xing had stained her hands with a lot of blood, she hadn't accumulated much 'sin.'
Therefore, while his 'Asset Freeze' could certainly weaken a portion of Chen Xing's power, it couldn't pose any substantial threat to her.
Troublesome... this isn't a battle between equals; it's a one-sided crushing.
Just as Jeremiah's attention drifted, Chen Xing suddenly vanished from her spot.
The next moment, her figure abruptly appeared on Jeremiah's left, the demon blade slashing horizontally, the scarlet flame blade energy tearing through the air like lightning, aiming straight for his waist and abdomen.
The unconcealed 'ultimate killing intent' emanating from the demon blade even split the surrounding mist, carving out a clear vacuum.
Jeremiah's pupils constricted. The Starlight energy in his body spun wildly.
He tried to activate the 'Balance' of the 'Arbiter of Sloth' to 'balance' Chen Xing's attack, rendering the strike harmless.
But the Balance, having just formed a vague outline, was instantly shattered by the scorching power within Chen Xing's blade energy, dissipating into the air like foam.
Puff!
Blood splashed onto the melted ice water, creating a dazzling red circle.
Jeremiah lowered his head and saw a deep wound on his left ribs, cut open by Chen Xing, so deep that his internal organs were vaguely visible.
He stumbled back several steps, raising his hand to press the wound, and pale blue ice crystals quickly spread from his palm, trying to seal the wound and stop the bleeding.
But as soon as the ice crystals touched the edge of the wound, they were instantly melted into water by the residual blood flames with a sizzling sound, completely unable to solidify.
"How could this be..."
Jeremiah's voice held a trace of disbelief.
He knew that his control over Ice attribute Starlight energy had already reached its peak, yet against Chen Xing's blood flames, his 'Extreme Cold' couldn't even perform the most basic 'freezing.'
This meant that the 'rank' of the Blood Flames was far superior to his Ice Starlight energy—an absolute attribute suppression.
Without any hesitation, Jeremiah resolutely pulled out a special 'Cold Crystal Nanobot Serum' unique to the Star Frost Faction, and fiercely plunged it into his abdomen.
The next second, countless tiny nanobots began to work on his wound, ultimately helping to seal it and isolate Chen Xing's burning blood flames.
During this process, Chen Xing merely watched calmly, without launching any attack.
Indifferent, arrogant...
At this moment, Jeremiah felt like he saw the 'shadow' of the Tendo in Chen Xing.
Because only monsters like them would disregard the enemy's condition and base everything solely on their own 'interest.'
And the current Chen Xing was undoubtedly doing something similar.
She was waiting, waiting for him to display a method worthy of her interest.
For this, she could even do nothing, simply waiting for him to recover from his injuries.
And the source of this arrogant confidence was her terrifying strength.
Thinking this, Jeremiah made up his mind.
He closed his eyes, and the Starlight energy around him surged frantically, several times more violently than when he condensed the Ice Prism Hell.
The next second, pale blue ice crystals rapidly spread outwards, centered on his body, instantly covering the entire passage. It formed a massive, five-meter-high Ice Prison, trapping both him and Chen Xing inside.
The inner wall of the Ice Prison was covered with tiny Balance markings, which emitted a cold light and frantically began drawing out the surrounding Starlight energy like living things.
Even the residual scent of blood flames in the air was slowly being sucked away by these eerie markings.
And inside this Ice Prison, Chen Xing could clearly feel that the Starlight energy within her body was showing slight signs of becoming uncontrollable, as if the Balance markings were attempting to forcibly draw it out.
She raised an eyebrow, and a trace of interest finally returned to her cold face.
"The 'Giant Ice Prison,' built with the Frost Giant as the core, combined with the Arbiter of Sloth."
"Jeremiah, it seems you have indeed grown quite a bit over the years."
Jeremiah stood at the other end of the Ice Prison. He looked at Chen Xing, who was curiously examining the prison's markings nearby. His face was pale, but his tone was firm: "Chen Xing, I admit I am far inferior to you, but if it's only to stall you... I can still manage it."
In response, Chen Xing curled her lip into a cold smirk.
"Want to stall me? That depends on whether you... have the capability."
