Chapter 5053 — Primeval Spirit Blood Cats

As one of the exotic spirit-root attributes, the ice attribute was already a one-in-ten-thousand existence, but this Fractured-Ice Constitution was an anomaly among anomalies.
A normal ice attribute could condense frost and ice, putting it to enormous use in both offense and defense—just as Leng Rufeng once had. Those with the Fractured-Ice Constitution, however, were different: they too could condense ice, but the whole process was exceedingly brief, and the moment the ice formed it would invariably melt away into nothing.
Still, do not assume the Fractured-Ice Constitution fell short of a normal ice attribute. In fact, the truth was precisely the opposite.
It could not use fully formed ice as a move for attack or defense, but it possessed another, far more threatening property: as the fractured ice melted with lightning speed, it produced a fearsome effect close to instantaneous freezing—just as with Sun Baimei at this very moment, whose chest had been chilled almost to the point of losing all feeling.
If this property were truly developed to its utmost, the terror of the Fractured-Ice Constitution was all but immeasurable. Wei Zhao had always taken this constitution for a legend, never imagining he would witness it with his own eyes today—and on none other than Leng Leng, with whom he had spent a full half month.
This discovery genuinely elated Wei Zhao. A cultivator only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, Leng Leng would ordinarily have been hard-pressed to help much—especially carrying injuries as she was—but since she possessed the legendary Fractured-Ice Constitution, even Sun Baimei, a late Foundation Establishment expert, faced no small threat. Add Wei Zhao himself, and their odds of victory had soared.
Sure enough, a measure of wariness now showed on Sun Baimei's face. Last time he had struck first from ambush, and after Leng Leng was wounded she had resolutely chosen to flee, so he had subconsciously written her off. Only now, having suffered for it, did he realize: Leng Leng's Fractured-Ice Constitution ranked among the foremost talents in all the Ancient Small Jianghu—it absolutely could not be underestimated.
Thank heavens she was merely at the early Foundation Establishment stage. Had she been a late Foundation Establishment expert as well, that kick alone would already have sealed his death.
At this moment Leng Leng was coughing blood from the blow of his plastic slab, wounded upon wounded and unable to move for the moment. Without hesitation Sun Baimei abandoned Wei Zhao and turned his attention to her.
In his view, the threat Leng Leng posed now far exceeded Wei Zhao's. A few more kicks like that and he might well be frozen stiff alive—while Wei Zhao, a mere primal spirit, could never escape the palm of his hand.
Slapping hard at his own chest, now cold and stiff, Sun Baimei forcibly circulated his true qi and abruptly raised his other enormous sleeve to aim at Leng Leng—yet what came forth was not the peerless suction force, but three pitch-black sharp arrows fired silently and without warning.
Leng Leng's expression changed at once. She strained desperately to dodge, but her injuries left her far less nimble than usual, and there was no evading them at all.
Fortunately Wei Zhao blocked them for her in the nick of time, unleashing three Frenzied Fire Thousand-Leg Strikes in rapid succession like a flash of lightning, deflecting all three black arrows. The speed of his reaction and the precision of his timing were simply inconceivable.
Sun Baimei was struck dumb on the spot. His Sleeve-Within-Qiankun Arrows were a move for ambushing and backstabbing, and they had never once failed—yet here was someone taking three arrows in a row with such ease. And this was merely a primal spirit!
"Th-that was amazing…" Behind him, Leng Leng was dumbfounded as well.
