Overdraw the future and become a peerless martial god

Chapter 40 Frost Thunder
The "Sky-Splitting Shadow Art" excels at extreme speed and is good at finding the enemy's weaknesses in battle.

But in such a violent fire, ordinary body movements were simply impossible to perform, yet Chu Ning was able to move freely in the flames without any harm.

Chu Ning was calm and not affected by Feng Li's roar at all.

He did not rush to counterattack, but continued to practice various skills such as "Rough Stone Hard Skill" and "Hundred Steps Through the Arrow" to gradually adapt to Feng Li's offensive.

The power of his fists was like collapsing mountains and splitting hills. Every time he struck, the void trembled and the air flow was reversed, as if even the air was squeezed out to make an explosive sound.

The wind from his fingers shot out, piercing through the flames and bringing up sharp sonic booms, like a crossbow arrow breaking through the air, approaching Feng Li's vital points without any error.

However, these skills themselves were not top-notch. What really annoyed Feng Li was that Chu Ning's speed was incredibly fast, as if he could not be caught at all.

"What are you doing?!" Feng Li became more and more angry as the battle went on. He suddenly mobilized the true energy in his body and lashed out with the Lihuo Whip again.

Chu Ning stepped lightly, and his whole body passed through the flames like a phantom, without even the corners of his clothes being stained by the flames.

Feng Li's attack missed, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes, which seemed both playful and scrutinizing.

"Interesting, it turns out that actual combat is the best way to hone your skills."

At this moment, he was not just fighting with Feng Li, but was using the battle to temper his own skills.

Feng Li was shocked and finally realized this: Chu Ning was not taking the challenge seriously at all, but was using him as a target for testing.

"hateful!"

Feng Li's pupils constricted, veins bulged in his forehead, and his rage erupted like a barrel of oil ignited by flames. He clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes filled with fury, shame, and even a hint of unease. He couldn't believe he'd been forced to this point by a "low-rank tenth-grade" person!

"Burning Sky Purple Flame, come out!"

The next moment, a ball of strange purple flame surged out of Feng Li's body, and the air suddenly made a "hissing" sound of burning. The temperature within a radius of several feet soared, as if even the void was about to be burned.

Everyone in Wuhou Mansion changed color, even Xie Mingli's face darkened slightly.

"Feng Li actually used his own life fire..."

"This flame can burn everything! How can Master Chu resist it?"

Just as everyone was shocked, Chu Ning finally stopped dodging, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife.

"It's quite interesting... Then I'll let you see it——"

He raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the knife, and a thunderous force immediately burst out from his body, and violent arcs of lightning exploded on the blade.

"Thunder Blade Technique: Cloud-Splitting Style!" Chu Ning shouted in a deep voice. In an instant, lightning flashed between heaven and earth, like a wildly dancing dragon, and thunder exploded.

The long sword slashed down, its aura like thunder taking shape, slashing towards Feng Li with immense force. Lightning flashed along the blade, and the air instantly became a vacuum. The deafening sound of thunder echoed in all directions, as if the entire world was being torn apart by this single blow!
Purple flames and thunder clashed in mid-air, exploding with a loud bang. A terrifying shock wave swept in all directions, and the buildings in the courtyard collapsed, filling the air with smoke and dust.

Blood foamed from Feng Li's throat, purple flames surging wildly in his palms, yet he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes. Before Chu Ning's blade reached him, the chill of frost and thunder had already penetrated his meridians, gnawing at his qi sea like a venomous snake.

"The second form: Jingzhe——"

Before he finished speaking, the blade light exploded! The lightning was no longer a blazing purple lightning, but a huge blue dragon wrapped in ice crystals. Wherever it passed, the flames froze and the air stagnated.

As the two fought fiercely, Xie Mingli widened her beautiful eyes, and her heart was filled with turbulent waves.

"Master Chu...was able to fight Feng Li to a draw?!"

"Isn't he a lower-rank tenth-grade cultivator? How could he be so powerful?!"

A young guard's sword fell to the ground with a clang.

He was completely oblivious, staring intently at the arc of electricity dancing on Chu Ning's blade. The veteran behind him suddenly grabbed his collar and growled, "Shut up! This kind of person... Wu Hou Mansion won't tolerate another word."

Chu Ning gripped the lightning blade tightly in his hand, and purple lightning wrapped around him, dancing in the air like a snake. His breath was calm, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife as he stared at Feng Li across from him.

Feng Li's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with stern anger. A crimson flame slowly ignited in his palm, swirling like a roaring beast, devouring the surrounding air like crazy.

"Boy, do you really think you can stop me with just a little thunder power?" Feng Li said in a low voice, his tone filled with cold murderous intent.

Chu Ning smiled calmly and slowly raised his eyes: "Then use your most powerful move."

Feng Li didn't waste any more words. He suddenly opened his arms and flames instantly swept across the sky and earth. The next moment, he stepped on the ground, and the entire ground exploded. The flames swept over like a raging tide, rushing straight towards Chu Ning.

Chu Ning's eyes glared, and he retreated instantly, lightning ripples exploding around him. However, Feng Li's attack was like an angry dragon, leaving him no chance to breathe.

"Burning Heaven Fire!" Feng Li roared, forming seals with his hands. He used the secret method of Lihuo Palace to forcibly increase the power of the flames. The flames behind him quickly condensed into a fire god of war. A giant flaming shadow several feet high hung in the void. The temperature around it soared instantly, and the air seemed to be burned and distorted.

At the moment the Burning Heaven Fire rose into the sky, the roots of the century-old locust tree in Wuhou Mansion scorched and curled up in the soil.

The shadowy figure of the Fire God behind Feng Li was stepping on the Lihuo Palace totem—it was a three-legged golden crow reborn from the fire, but now it was twisted into a hideous ghost face by the violent fire snakes.

Among the onlookers, an old man murmured in a trembling voice, "The Lihuo Palace's 'Holy Flame Transformation'... the last time it appeared was a hundred years ago, when the demonic tide massacred the city!"

Feng Li's cultivation level went from the middle ninth rank to the upper ninth rank.

The giant shadow opened its scarlet eyes, let out a deafening roar, and slammed down towards Chu Ning to suppress him.

Chu Ning frowned slightly, and his thunder energy surged instantly. He raised his hand and waved it, and the lightning turned into a long rainbow and struck the Fire God of War. But despite its fierceness, the lightning was still swallowed by the scorching flames.

"The power of thunder is ultimately no match for the heavenly flame." Feng Li sneered, clenched his five fingers slightly, and the fist of the Fire God suddenly smashed down.

The giant flaming fist pressed down, and Chu Ning suddenly raised his knife to block it. In an instant, lightning and fireworks clashed, and a wave of heat spread out.

But the next moment, the thunder force was completely swallowed up, and the flames swept over with irresistible momentum!

Chu Ning's heart sank, and the severe pain in his body made him realize that he could not resist this sky-burning force with just thunder power.

He slowly raised his hand, pinched his fingertips, and a golden light pattern slowly emerged and imprinted on his forehead.

The power of the Golden Hoop Curse flowed through his body, and Chu Ning felt that something seemed to be awakening deep in his blood.

The lightning began to become cold, and an unprecedented chill emerged from the depths of the dantian, sweeping through the body along the meridians.

In an instant, the lightning was no longer pure purple lightning, but a cold and chilling light - frost lightning!
Ice-blue frost lightning shot out from his palm, carrying with it a chilling chill. The lightning and frost air intertwined, forming a strange dual force.

Chu Ning slowly raised his head, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes. His sensitivity suddenly increased, and his combat awareness became clearer than ever before.

Feng Li's pupils shrank slightly. He could feel that Chu Ning's aura was completely different.

"What is this?" he murmured softly, a trace of uneasiness passing through his heart.

Chu Ning did not respond, but flashed and suddenly approached.

Feng Li only felt a flash before his eyes, and Chu Ning had teleported to his side, and a sharp frost lightning blade had broken through the air.

"Damn it!" Feng Li roared and hastily waved his palm to block it, but the moment his palm touched the frost thunder, he felt a chill that penetrated deep into his bones and eroded him madly.

"What kind of power is this?" Feng Li was horrified.
