Zhang Ruochen was certain his rival was not a Half-Saint.
Although the man in black was very powerful, he was not so powerful as to cause Zhang Ruochen to despair. He was probably also a Master of Spiritual Power at the 44th level although his spiritual attainments far exceeded Zhang Ruochen's.
This person must be the Lord of Solitary Shadow Peak, Ice Demon.
After all, very few Masters of Spiritual Power could reach the 44th level. Furthermore, this opponent could control ice. Zhang Ruochen could think of no one else but Ice Demon.
He had not expected to meet an evil opponent so soon.
Ice Demon was more than a hundred years old. He had high seniority among the evil warriors and had already attained the 44th level of Spiritual Power 30 years ago.
Zhang Ruochen could tell from the aura emanating from his body that his Spiritual Power had reached the Advanced Stage of the 44th level although it had not reached the Peak.
