“You…!” Seraphina gritted her teeth, anger flashing across her delicate face.
At the same time, the Skywater Blade in her hand emitted a sharp, translucent light.
“It’s over, Lord Leo has offended Seraphina. They are going to fight,” Chloe thought anxiously. If they fought, she would inevitably be punished.
“Seraphina, Lord Leo is here to discuss cooperation with our Falling Blossom Palace. The palace master, vice master, and elders personally received him. The palace master asked me to show him around the Spirit Field…” Chloe quickly communicated through secret methods.
However, before Chloe could finish her sentence, the translucent light on the Skywater Blade grew even brighter.
The hard ground of the Moon Viewing Platform was etched with fine cracks by the sword light.
“Chloe, step back,” Seraphina commanded in an ethereal tone.
“Yes, Seraphina,” Chloe replied respectfully, glancing at Seraphina before retreating.
“Elder Mike, you should step back as well,” Leo said, turning to Mike.
“Yes, Lord,” Mike nodded respectfully and exited the Moon Viewing Platform.
As soon as Chloe and Mike left the Moon Viewing Platform, a translucent blue sword light slashed towards Leo.
Leo dodged the sword light with a swift movement.
“I came to see you out of goodwill, and you greet me with a sword? That’s not right,” Leo said to Seraphina with a frown.
“Nonsense! You came here to discuss cooperation with my Falling Blossom Palace!” Seraphina retorted coldly. As soon as she finished speaking, the translucent blue sword light enveloped Leo once again.
For a moment, the Moon Viewing Platform was filled with sword lights.
While dodging, Leo complained, “That’s enough! If you continue, I will fight back!”
“You spoke recklessly in front of Chloe!” Seraphina shouted angrily, showing no intention of stopping.
Seraphina’s attack made Leo realize that she had also broken through to mid-stage Spirit Saint like him. Clearly, what happened between them in the valley had significantly boosted their cultivation levels.
Seeing Seraphina’s increasingly fierce attacks, Leo decided to show his strength. Otherwise, this beautiful woman might think he was easy to bully.
The Dragon Sword appeared in Leo’s hand with a clear dragon’s roar.
Leo moved like a dragon, his Dragon Sword shattering the blue sword lights one after another.
On the Moon Viewing Platform, icy white and blue sword lights clashed fiercely.
The clouds in the sky scattered and reformed. In just over ten seconds, they had exchanged hundreds of moves.
Leo was not one to harm a flower. Naturally, he wouldn’t be ruthless towards Seraphina.
Seeing that Seraphina had no intention of stopping, he decided to subdue her first.
After a few more moves, a crisp sound of swords clashing rang out as they separated by several feet.
With a plan in mind, Leo didn’t hesitate. He activated the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus in his dantian.
A surge of extreme cold burst from Leo’s body, turning the surrounding hundred meters into an icy world. Even the air was filled with visible ice crystals.
The powerful cold invaded Seraphina’s body, causing her beautiful face under the thin veil to change slightly.
At this moment, she felt her blood and spiritual power in her dantian being affected by the extreme cold.
Leo’s figure flashed and disappeared from his original spot.
Seraphina’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she retreated rapidly.
While retreating, she slashed her Skywater Blade towards a certain spot.
Leo reappeared, and at the same time, the powerful cold caused Seraphina’s body to stiffen momentarily.
The sound of swords clashing echoed again.
In the next second, Seraphina’s Skywater Blade flew out of her hand and embedded itself into the edge of the Moon Viewing Platform’s hard ground.
Leo’s Dragon Sword also flew out of his hand, but it was intentional on his part.
“You…!” Seeing her treasured sword being knocked away, Seraphina’s expression changed drastically. She mobilized all her spiritual power while retreating continuously.
However, as soon as she retreated a few feet, Leo closed the distance instantly and grabbed her hands with his large hands.
“What are you doing!?” Seraphina’s expression changed again. Her beautiful eyes widened in shame and anger as she tried to use her spiritual power to push Leo away.
Leo snorted softly. The Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus operated frantically, sending a domineering cold force into Seraphina’s delicate body through his hands.
Seraphina’s body stiffened as frost covered her golden core in her dantian, causing her spiritual power to stagnate.
In desperation, Seraphina lifted her long right leg to kick at Leo’s vulnerable spot.
If she succeeded, it would be disastrous. Leo’s right foot moved first, hooking Seraphina’s right leg directly.
Now their posture looked less like a fight and more like an intimate dance.
“Let go of me!” Seraphina blushed furiously, her ears turning red.
She struggled with all her might, but Leo’s hands and feet seemed to possess infinite strength, leaving her no room for resistance.
“Sorry, for my safety, I can’t let you go,” Leo said with a mischievous smile. The extreme cold continued to flow into Seraphina’s body, temporarily immobilizing her.
Seraphina was a strong opponent of the same level as him. Having subdued her with great difficulty, there was no way he would let her go easily.
Seraphina’s struggle weakened rapidly…
The Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus was an ice-attribute Celestial Artifact capable of freezing spiritual power, golden cores, and even Spirit Cores and souls. Thus, even with Seraphina’s rare physique, she couldn’t break free from its power immediately.
“Let go of me!” Unable to escape Leo’s grasp, Seraphina could only shout angrily with a flushed face.
“I can let you go if you promise not to attack me again,” Leo said with a smile.
“I said… I will kill you!” Looking at Leo’s annoying smile, the proud Seraphina refused to yield.
Not to mention that Leo had seen her true face in the valley before. Now they were so close again. As a normal man…
Seeing Leo’s mischievous smile made Seraphina feel uneasy and anxious.
Remembering what happened in the valley made her even more afraid that he might do something terrible here.
This was Falling Blossom Palace. If fellow disciples saw them like this, how could she live?
As Seraphina looked at him with fear and unease in her eyes, Leo’s head slowly moved closer.
Seraphina could even see her reflection in Leo’s deep black pupils.
