552. Snow Emperor summons puppet characters to attack, dealing double damage [First Update]_1

This second sword, no one at the scene other than Lin Yi could actually see when it was swung down.

Chen Xin retracted his Martial Soul, and the wrinkles on his face disappeared at the same moment.

He gently exhaled, that sword technique had actually allowed him to briefly touch upon time.

"So this is what the passing of time feels like,"

Chen Xin reached up to catch several strands of white hair that were fluttering down from mid-air, unable to resist sighing inwardly.

The moment he swung his sword was also his most aged moment, as normal hair loss occurs with age, and white strands fell with the sword aura. However, the release of the sword technique was extremely quick, so when the technique was completed, the hair had only just started to fall.

Chen Xin had no intention of continuing to test the following verses on stage.

It could be said that just the two sword techniques comprehended on stage were enough for him to inflict substantial damage. He was very satisfied and filled with reverence for the poet Li Bai.

It was precisely because he understood the context of the verses that Chen Xin truly realized how great a poet Li Bai was.

"Thanks to Senior Lin Yi's guidance, I will ponder the latter verses in private,"

Chen Xin bowed in thanks.

Lin Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and reminded the other party, "Li Bai often composed poetry while drunk, so if you want to comprehend the verses faster and more perfectly, to turn poetry into a sword, you might actually try drinking a little."

Chen Xin was startled, "This..."

Below the stage, Gu Rong suddenly laughed, "Drink alcohol? This youngster collapses after a single cup, just a sip is enough to muddle his senses, hahaha."

Chen Xin knew his own condition and felt somewhat embarrassed for a moment, but this was Lin Yi's kind reminder, and it would definitely double his efforts in understanding the sword technique, so he decided to take the risk this one time.

But his tolerance for alcohol was poor...there was no helping it, that's just the way it is for someone who can't drink. He hoped not to make a fool of himself and disturb the Sect Master later; it would be best to lock himself in his room.

Chen Xin stole a glance at the Sect Master below the stage, silently thinking to himself.

"It's your turn, sister. Hand the child to me."

The Ice Emperor said to the Snow Empress, a smile appearing on her face.

The Snow Empress turned her head to look at her, and although no smile showed on her face, her eyes were still tender as she nodded, which made the Ice Emperor feel utterly delighted inside.

Unexpectedly, the birth of this child seemed to have indirectly resolved the estrangement between the two sisters.

Taking Little Medusa into her arms, the Ice Emperor looked her up and down.

It had to be said, the child was simply a miniaturized version of her sister, although the aggressiveness in her eyes was somewhat stronger, nearly identical to the Snow Empress in other aspects.

White hair, blue eyes, a chilly body, and bouncy skin.

"What are you staring at? Put me down this instant,"

Little Medusa said to the Ice Emperor with a serious look in her eyes.

The Ice Emperor frowned, "You may be a queen, but I am an empress. Call me 'Empress' for once, quickly."

Little Medusa's expression turned fierce, "Forget it."

"What?"

The Ice Emperor immediately pressed Little Medusa onto her lap, lifted up her skirt, and started to spank her small, white bottom fiercely.

"Will you call me that?! Will you call me that?!"

"Never! The humiliation of today will be repaid a hundredfold another day!"

"You're not old, but you're full of tough talk. I'll smack that butt of yours until it's a mess!"

"Aaaaah!"

The crisp "smack smack" sound echoed clearly as the chilling cold scattered, causing those around to involuntarily retreat even further.

The Snow Emperor turned her head helplessly as she watched this scene, knowing her daughter's soul wasn't from Douluo, the Ice Emperor was in fact not wrong in doing this. It was necessary to temper the spirit of the people from the soul world, but as a mother, she definitely couldn't bring herself to do it. It was just as well left to the Ice Emperor.

"Now there are 18 unread messages."

Lin Yi sat on the stage, having just heard the Ice Emperor mentioned the words "Pirate Empress," he then remembered the Pirate Empress Lin Jingyue, his little daughter from the minor plane.

Unknowingly, another six messages had been sent, making it 18 unread now. Lin Yi suddenly felt a hint of emotion, compressing 180 years into merely 18 messages, not knowing what kind of words she would send.

At this moment, the Snow Emperor approached the stage and gave Lin Yi a gentle smile, seemingly unaffected emotionally by the incident of "having Little Snow Maiden call Lin Yi Daddy."

"It's my turn to attack."

"Mhm, let's begin."

Little Medusa lay atop the Ice Emperor's legs with her butt raised, looking up at the scene on the stage. Having just been introduced by her mother, she came to understand that her father was such a miraculous person.

But thinking about how precious dad was, why didn't mom lock him up for her own enjoyment? Little Medusa found this quite puzzling and, pondering this, she received another smack on her buttocks.

"Ah! Painful!"

This damn auntie, she'll pay for this sooner or later!

...

Right before the Snow Emperor's attack, she suddenly glanced at the air beside her, and at that moment, a shocking scene occurred.

A person who looked exactly like her suddenly stood by her side!

The person, a clone of the Snow Emperor, was like a one-to-one copy.

This was the reward the Snow Emperor had received before, a one-to-one Puppet Duplication, perfectly replicating the original owner's everything—appearance, abilities. If the puppet was killed, it would regenerate, and the Snow Emperor's soul could freely move between her original body and the puppet. Used cleverly, this puppet was effectively a double combat effectiveness and invincibility.

The Snow Emperor could also control the thoughts of the puppet, having it execute everything in her mind.

So for this attack, she was prepared to use the Emperor Cold Sky Domain with the puppet, doubling the Emperor Cold Sky Domain should be able to stack damage on this round's target, which was more than six hundred thousand damage.

Both Snow Emperors raised their hands, their ice-blue eyes instantly turned snow white.

The temperature above the stands plummeted.

"Emperor Cold Heaven!"

"Emperor Cold Heaven!"

Two voices rang out at the same time as a large expanse of wind and snow wrapped around the entire viewing stand like a cage.

To the spectators below, everything turned white. The dense storm covered the entire viewing stand, and its height expanded relentlessly upward, truly more than double the momentum of the Snow Emperor attacking alone!

The Snow Emperor turned to glance at the puppet beside her, looking exactly like herself within the blizzard. Honestly, fighting "shoulder to shoulder" with herself felt a bit strange, yet the Snow Emperor felt an exceptional understanding with the figure beside her, surpassing that of others.

She raised her delicate white hand, and snowflakes sharp as blades obeyed her command, converging from all directions.

The puppet beside her did the same. At this moment, in Lin Yi's vision, it was as if two human-shaped meat grinders were preparing to attack him.

The snowflakes swirled madly above the two Snow Emperors, the "whirling" sound in the ears as if truly conveying the sensation of being in the Extreme North.

The Snow Emperor pointed forward, and all the snowflakes surged towards Lin Yi, their sharp hexagonal forms sparkling with icy light, the process of drifting splitting the surrounding cold air into several parts.
