The Snow Blade, as a Mystical-level top-grade treasure, wielded a terrifying power. Even though Nie Jian had yet to attack, everyone present felt as though they were ensnared in a frozen wasteland, chilled to the bone.
With the Snow Blade in hand, Nie Jian's combat strength surged, giving him the qualifications to confront someone in the ninth level of the Marrow Refining Realm.
Among the twenty elders present, besides Nie Jian, who had already reached the ninth level, the strongest was Wu Gui, who had recently ascended to the eighth level.
Though it was unclear how many elders had secretly pledged allegiance to Wu Gui, Nie Jian remained unflustered. With the Wind Blade in his grasp, he was confident he could hold his ground even if the other nineteen joined forces against him.
