ATG: My genius is almost frightening!-Chapter 175: This is not according to keikaku at all!

Standing on the giant meteor, Yun Wuji could feel the ground beneath him trembling under the terrifying aura of the approaching man. If it weren't for Yun Wuji's Invictus, he, too, would be shaking just like the ground beneath him.

A Divine Master's power was something most mortals couldn't comprehend. In this world where heavenly laws were pathetically weak, they were akin to gods. Even a small movement from them could unleash calamities upon these lowly mortals.

Almost instantly, the purple figure of the Radiant Mountain Realm's Realm King stopped in front of him.

The Radiant Mountain Realm's Realm King's gaze landed on Yun Wuji, then swept around the area before returning to him. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "You were waiting for me?"

Surprisingly, the Radiant Mountain Realm's Realm King, whose name was Ying Wan, was remarkably calm. He didn't display the anger one might expect from a father confronting the killer of his son...even though it was he who had ended his son's miserable life.

"..." Yun Wuji was in Invictus, which made him indifferent and apathetic, so he had no interest in engaging in conversation with him.

"...Never mind. After taking you back, I'll take my sweet time to slowly squeeze everything out of you," Ying Wan frowned at the indifferent attitude of the young man in front of him. Until now, he still didn't understand why someone would go to such lengths to provoke him, so he concluded that it must be part of a plot against him.

However, even after deducing this, his resolve to take revenge for his son didn't waver in the slightest. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, showing even the slightest weakness would only invite his enemies and competitors to pounce on him.

Ying Wan spread his senses but couldn't detect anyone nearby. As a 6th-level Divine Master, it was exceedingly difficult for someone to hide from him—unless they were at least a small realm stronger than him. However, someone with that level of power wouldn't need to play tricks or hide; they could simply confront him directly.

"Kid, surrender obediently, or I'll..." He raised his hand, and purple profound energy gathered in it. He pointed at Yun Wuji and spoke indifferently.

Swoosh!

Bang!

Suddenly, Ying Wan's sentence was cut short. An icy blue light erupted two hundred meters from his side and rushed toward him at an astonishing speed. Ying Wan's pupils shrank as he turned around, preparing to thrust his hand to block the blow... but he was a step slower.

The blue ice profound energy enveloped him, and he instantly turned into a giant cube of eternal ice!

Everything happened in less than a second. From the moment Ying Wan was cut off to when he became an ice cube, it was only a split second. Even with Yun Wuji's powerful senses, he couldn't fully grasp what had just occurred.

The enchantingly beautiful figure of Mu Xuanyin appeared in front of Yun Wuji. Without offering any explanation, she simply said, "Quickly go! I'll block him!"

"Sect Master? What are you doing here?" Yun Wuji looked at her figure and spoke in a surprised tone, but his face remained as cold as ice, showing not the slightest hint of emotion. Looking at him, Mu Xuanyin felt that even her over 10,000-year-old frozen heart was warmer than his indifferent eyes.

"Stop wasting time and go quickly!" Mu Xuanyin's eyebrows furrowed. She was so anxious that she displayed more emotion than she had in the past hundred years. She grabbed Yun Wuji's shoulder and shouted at him angrily.

"Running? Why should I?" Yun Wuji shook his head and asked, his tone as if he couldn't comprehend what she was saying. He added, "I went through so much effort to lure this guy here. Why should I run away now?"

"You..." Mu Xuanyin's chest heaved with anger, causing it to bounce beneath her loose robe, rising and falling in front of her like waves. However, now wasn't the time to reprimand him. She needed to get him out of this place. At this moment, she doesn't even stop to think about why she is risking her life to save him in the first place.

She had originally thought he had some plan to deal with him... maybe he would use the poison of the Sky Poison Pearl. But now, it seemed he had no plan at all!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The dreadful sound of shattering ice echoed behind her, announcing the collapse of her last hope. She froze, the words she was about to say caught in her throat, then slowly turned around...to face Ying Wu, with Yun Wuji standing behind her.

She had estimated that the ice would hold him for a few breaths longer, but now it seemed she had underestimated his strength.

"I was wondering who had the gall to provoke this king... So it was the Snow Song Realm's Realm King, Mu Xuanyin."

Ying Wu brushed the ice fragments from his shoulders, then looked at Mu Xuanyin and said slowly, "Good, good... very good!"

Although he appeared unfazed on the surface, deep down, he was extremely shocked. Mu Xuanyin's reputation was well known across the Eastern Divine Region, but it was mostly due to her status as the Realm King of a middle star realm who had managed to become a Divine Master, as well as her breathtaking beauty.

However, to Divine Masters from upper star realms, her strength was hardly worth mentioning.

After all, her strength was only at the 4th level of the Divine Master Realm.

However, the skills she had just displayed made Ying Wu raise his evaluation of her even further. The ability to silently get close to someone far stronger than herself without them noticing was truly terrifying!

For a moment, Ying Wu felt a chill run down his spine.

'If this woman were stronger, she could have killed me without me even noticing!'

Mu Xuanyin's beautiful face was cold. She didn't reply to him—there was nothing more to say at this point. She stretched out her hand, and a sword appeared in her grasp. The sword was thin and long, its widest part no more than a few centimeters. It reflected no light, lacking any luster, resembling a cluster of pure snow.

The Snow Princess Sword—this was Mu Xuanyin's main weapon.

First, she split a shield of icy energy around Yun Wuji, cocooning him in protective light. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she channeled the rest of her power into the Snow Princess Sword, its blade humming with glacial might. She thrust it toward Ying Wan, the strike slicing through the void like a comet of pure cold.

Crack!

Though her movement seemed effortless, the force behind the attack was anything but.

The unstable meteor beneath them groaned, fractures spiderwebbing across its surface as chunks began crumbling into the abyss.

"Hmph!" Ying Wan barked, his lips curling into a sneer. He clenched his fist, and purple energy surged around him like storm clouds. With a roar, he punched forward, a shockwave of purple light exploded toward Mu Xuanyin.

RUMBLE!

The void itself seemed to roar as shockwaves of clashing energy rippled outward. The meteor groaned under the strain, its surface cracking like an eggshell beneath the full forces of two Divine Masters.

BOOM!

When ice met fury, the battlefield split, a jagged line of blue and purple light tearing through the heart of the meteor. For a heartbeat, the two powers hung suspended; Mu Xuanyin's glacial might gleamed like a frozen galaxy against Ying Wan's violet storm, crackling with rage. They clashed like titans locked in a celestial tug-of-war... until the purple energy surged, voracious, devouring the frost's advance inch by inch.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The meteor gave one final, shuddering breath before exploding—chunks of rock fracturing into gravel, then dust, then nothingness. Even the debris couldn't escape the maelstrom; it dissolved into stardust, swirling into the infinite dark like ash from a dying star.

Bang!

Just as expected, the first clash sent Mu Xuanyin hurtling backward. Her opponent stood two small realms above her, and she'd already split much of her power to shield Yun Wuji. Against such odds, her defeat was inevitable.

Or rather...she'd never stood a chance.

"Sect Master, stop. You are not his match. Leave, I will hold him here," Yun Wuji transmitted to her calmly. Despite the situation, his expression remained as indifferent as ever.

"..." Mu Xuanyin found his words familiar. Where had she heard them before? However, she had no time to think as Yin Wu made his move and attacked her.

She swung her sword to block his strike, and three thick ice walls rose in front of her.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion that sent shockwaves through the nearby stars, the ice walls shattered like dried bread. But at the very least, they had managed to stop the attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunderous explosions rang for a while all kinds of attacks collided with each other. Even the aftershock was fatal! From a distance, streaks of blue and purple light erupted in blinding flashes, clashing every split second. But with each collision, the blue light faltered, swallowed whole by the overwhelming tide of purple.

"Cough!" After being forced back once again, Mu Xuanyin suddenly coughed up blood, a thin trail of crimson dripping from her bewitching red lips.

The battle was utterly one-sided. One side launched relentless, furious attacks, while the other could only focus on defense. Though ice was second only to earth in terms of defensive strength, it still couldn't close the vast gap between them.

To make matters worse, Ying Wu had been ruthlessly targeting her weakness...Yun Wuji, who stood defenseless behind her. Mu Xuanyin had no choice but to endure the blows head-on, unable to evade or dodge. If she didn't, Yun Wuji would be the one to bear the brunt of the attacks.

Even though Yun Wuji had been urging her to stop, assuring her that he would be fine even without her protection, Mu Xuanyin didn't take his words seriously.

"Sect Master!" Yun Wuji shouted when he saw the trail of blood. He could sense her aura growing more chaotic as well. If not for his current state, he would have shown a shocked expression—this was completely unexpected.

This is not according to keikaku at all!
