Chapter 45: Finger of Flower Picking and Frostbite Divine Palm

  Ye Xue's eyes also showed an incredulous expression.

  "Brother, I actually can't feel the chill in my body anymore! Am I cured? Am I cured?" Ye Xue excitedly shouted to her brother, overjoyed to tears.

  This strange illness has been tormenting Xiaoxue for so many years, and now it suddenly disappears, how can Xiaoxue not be overjoyed.

  "Really?" Ye Chen also exclaimed excitedly.

  Even Chen Tao was happy for Ye Xue, all these years it was Ye Chen who took care of Ye Xue, now that he's cured, Ye Chen can also put down the burden in his heart and no longer run around for Ye Xue's illness.

  "En!" Ye Xue nodded affirmatively, and with a rotation of her inner power, her body would normally have a cold air hindering the rotation, after which it would automatically emit cold air, condensing into layers of thin ice around her.

  Ye Chen was overjoyed, but Xiao Xue's cold physique had always worried him. As time passed, the frequency of her cold attacks also decreased, and he didn't know when it would bring fatal harm to Xiao Xue.

  Now Xiaoxue's condition has improved, and Ye Chen is overjoyed.

  Pulling Xue, Ye Chen carefully checked again and confirmed that there was no abnormality before finally confirming his surprising emotions.

  The three of them happily chatted for a while before realizing where they were, and quickly ran out of the fragmented ice pile. It was at this moment that the three of them abnormally discovered that none of them were being pressed down by the ice layer.

  The three of them were like nothingness, and they couldn't feel any obstruction at all, which shocked them.

  As the three of them walked out, those piles of ice collapsed again with a loud crash. Fortunately, all the demons here had disappeared along with the Linglong Beast.

  "Dust, am I dreaming? How can I actually walk on the ice layer and not be affected by it?" Chen Tao exclaimed in incredulity.

  "Ah! Xiaoxue, why did you pinch me?" Chen Tao shouted immediately.

  "Let me see if you can feel pain. That way we'll know if it's a dream or not." Xiaoxue said with her hand covering her mouth, laughing.

  "Why don't you just slap yourself then?" Chen Tao pretended to be furious and raised his hand as if to hit Xiaoxue.

  Xiao Xue laughed and ran away.

  Ye Chen was also surprised by this change, but when Xiaoxue's hand let go of his own, the feeling of being one with ice and snow disappeared instantly.

  The ice layer underfoot caught Ye Chen's attention. Wherever Ye Xue had passed, the ice layer spread out, but there was nothing under his and Chen Tao's feet.

  Ye Chen's face suddenly changed, and he stopped Xiaoxue, re-examining her body again, this time more carefully, but still didn't find anything abnormal.

  But as soon as Ye Chen grasped Ye Xue's hand, that feeling of being one with the ice returned to his body.

  Ye Chen could definitely tell that the feeling of walking on ice came from Xiao Xue.

  But now I can't feel Xiaoxue's icy cold air, yet wherever Xiaoxue has been, a layer of ice has formed.

  Ye Chen could only confirm that Xiaoxue's physical condition had recovered safely, but he didn't know what was going on. Anyway, the three of them didn't think much about things they didn't know.

  The three of them discussed in front of the ice layer for a while, and then said that this Yuwang Stele in front of them also owed it to this Yuwang Stele, otherwise the three of them would have been hard to escape the magic claws of the demon beast.

  The three men were filled with gratitude towards the Yuwang Stele, but whether they should still stay in this place was a question.

  The Night Star City was attacked by the demon beast, and the final result is unknown. The three of them have already left the Night Star City and their ID cards have been cancelled, making them vagrants with nowhere to go.

  "Dust, are we going to stay here forever?" Chen Tao asked, sitting on the ground.

  "Our current strength is too low, wherever we go it's the same. Let's cultivate for a while longer, at least until we reach the 8th level of the Mortal Dust Realm before we can barely protect ourselves." Ye Chen analyzed.

  Xiaoxue has always followed Yecen's arrangements, whatever Yecen wants Xiaoxue to do, Xiaoxue will do it. As for Chentao choosing to follow Yecen out, everything is decided by following Yecen's arrangements.

  Because of the previous things and some things emitted by the Yuwang Stele itself, these monsters are afraid of them. There is no monster disturbance, let alone anyone coming here. This is a quiet place.

  The three of them didn't have the power to stop these demonic beasts from attacking the city, and could only silently pray for the people in Xing City.

  The Night Star City is not too far from the Yunlu Mountain peak, but standing at the summit still can't see the scenery of Night Star City.

  All I can see is the rolling smoke and fog, the wailing of the monster echoing through the sky.

  The three of them could only gather up the ice sheets, sweep out a patch of empty ground, tidy up those books, pack up the tent and live here again.

  The three of them began to live a reclusive life, rising with the sun and resting with the sunset, spending most of their time cultivating.

  The distant Night Star City had not been breached, but it was heavily damaged. Fortunately, Ye Wu Men brought out those low-level internal skills, and the civilians were able to cultivate them, which strengthened Night Star City's power to some extent.

  But in this way, Night Star City can't hold on for much longer. Without the help of external cities, it's extremely difficult to resist the siege of these demonic beasts.

  The three of them weren't completely reclusive either, sometimes they would still go back to gather some information about the situation ahead, but this could only be done from a distance, as Ye Chen didn't dare get close.

  Those eighth-level demonic beasts are extremely powerful, and they might not take action for the sake of this weak guy, but what if they do? What if they really take action, there's no way to escape.

  Six days passed like this. In these six days, Ye Chen spent his time either practicing swordplay or reading the books taken from Yuelu Academy.

  Fifty or sixty books are not all about introducing Gongfa, some explain Buddhism, some explain Taoism, some talk about military strategy, and some talk about sophistry...

  Ye Cen and Chen Tao also deliberately selected, without choosing repetitive things.

  In five or six days' time, it was enough for the two to find books that were useful to themselves. What surprised them was that among these fifty or sixty books, there really was a secret recipe.

  Apart from the theory of Tao, there are only two martial arts manuals, one is "Plum Blossom Finger" and the other is "Ice Frost Palm".

  These two secret books were not complete books either, but were extracted from a few pages of a book. If the two hadn't carefully watched, they might have really missed it.

  "Hehe, Brother Chen Tao really has a connection with Buddhism, the 'Plum Blossom Finger' technique from Shaolin Temple's 72 Great Supreme Techniques was actually learned by you." Little Snow chuckled and said to Chen Tao who was concentrating on the secret manual in his hand.

  "Haha, Xiaoxue is jealous? Why don't we switch places instead? In the past, the two old men of Xuanming were famous throughout the world. If I had that kind of skill, whoever looked at me with disdain would be frozen into an ice sculpture with just one slap." Chen Tao also said with a smile.

  "You guys got a good deal and still sell clever, I'm exhausted to find two secret books, both of you learned from them, and still not satisfied. You know I didn't gain anything." Ye Chen said with a bitter face, one was the Finger of Picking Flowers, the other was the Ice Cold Palm.

  That Ice Palm was obviously made for Ye Xue, it seemed like it was originally prepared just for him. Ye Chen didn't say anything else, and that Pinhua Finger unexpectedly turned out to be Shaolin's ultimate technique, which was immediately snatched away by Chen Tao. All Ye Chen could do was watch from afar as these two guys cultivated their skills.
