Staring at the white silhouette at the cave entrance, Xiao Yan’s tense heart gradually relaxed. “Thank goodness, no harm done…” he muttered to himself. His gaze then swiftly turned to the elder suspended in midair above the ravine. The elder had a full head of white hair and was dressed in white robes, embroidered with patterns of snowflakes, making him seem almost cold from inside out. After a momentary pause, Xiao Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed, “Six Star Battle Sect…”
After a brief contemplation, Xiao Yan’s gaze shifted downwards. At this moment, there were still dozens of white figures standing around the ravine, clearly also disciples of the Glacier Valley. His gaze swept over them, pausing on a large boulder protruding from the edge of the ravine. There stood two more elders in white, their hands behind their backs. The strength of the one in the front was similar to the elder in the air, also reaching the level of Six Star Battle Sect. The other, though not as strong as the first two, was also a Two Star Battle Sect.
“To have three Battle Sect experts and dozens of elite Glacier Valley disciples… they really are willing to go all-out,” Xiao Yan said quietly, his dark eyes flickering with a hint of coldness.
“Xiao Yan, those two are the elders Ice Yuan and Ice Fu from the Glacier Valley. They are very strong; be careful,” Xinlan’s beautiful eyes swept over the scene, her face tightening as she spoke.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. Although the situation was formidable, it didn’t pose a significant threat to him now. The Earth Demon Puppet could match a Six Star Battle Sect, and he also had the Heavenly Fire Three Mystical Changes and the Heavenly Fire Venerable in his storage ring.
“Disaster Poisoness, you cannot escape. You’ve been hit by the Glacier Valley’s Ice Respected Strength. Unless you get the antidote from us, the remaining ice aura in your body will freeze all your life force within a month!” The elder in the air looked indifferently at Xiaoyixian, stating, “Coming back to the Glacier Valley is your only way to survive.”
At the cave entrance, Xiaoyixian’s emotionless gray-purple eyes glanced at the elder, her pale cheeks showing a trace of mockery. Her clear, chilly voice echoed, “Before my life force is completely frozen, I will destroy my body, leaving nothing for the Glacier Valley!”
Upon hearing this, the elder’s eyes flashed with cold intent. “You are cutting off your only way to survive…”
With these words, he seemed unwilling to delay any longer. A startling chill began to surge from his body.
“Since you won’t take the easy way out, old man will take matters into his own hands and bring you back to the Glacier Valley!”
As the last word fell, the space in front of the white-robed elder twisted, and amidst the swirling frost, a dense cluster of ice spikes appeared out of thin air…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The elder’s sleeve waved lightly, and the countless ice spikes quivered violently before shooting out in a massive wave, covering the ten-yard area around the cave completely!
Seeing the ice spikes tearing through the air, Xiaoyixian frowned. In her current severely injured state, she was no match for Ice Yuan, and there were still two Battle Sect experts nearby. If they attacked, she would likely have no chance to escape.
“Even if I must die, I cannot fall into their hands!” A thick, gray-purple Dou Qi surged from Xiaoyixian’s body, enveloping the cave entrance. The ice spikes quickly melted upon contact, but under continuous bombardment, the energy shield formed by the gray-purple Dou Qi rapidly thinned.
Crack! Crack!
The remaining ice spikes embedded themselves in the rock walls around the cave, causing a layer of thick ice to spread. Under such frigid conditions, even the surrounding poisonous gas became thinner.
Sensing the rapidly rising chill, Xiaoyixian’s expression changed. This coldness was extremely peculiar and would be extremely troublesome if it entered her body. She had once been inadvertently hit by this cold, causing her Dou Qi to stagnate, resulting in her being severely injured by Ice Yuan and Ice Fu’s so-called Ice Respected Strength…
“I cannot stay here any longer…” With this thought, Xiaoyixian made a swift decision, her figure transforming into a flash of lightning as she rushed out of the cave, heading straight into the depths of the ravine.
“Ice Seal Array!”
As soon as Xiaoyixian emerged from the cave, dozens of cold shouts resounded simultaneously. A sudden burst of cold filled the air, and the space within the ravine instantly froze. In moments, a massive chunk of solid ice formed, sealing Xiaoyixian and Ice Yuan inside. Those inside could not see outside, but those outside could see everything happening inside.
“Still trying to escape?”
Ice Yuan’s face twisted into a cold smile. He moved, appearing behind Xiaoyixian in an instant, his fist wreathed in icy energy, and struck viciously!
Sensing the sudden surge of cold, Xiaoyixian spun around, her hand brimming with gray-purple Dou Qi, and swung her palm.
Bang!
The clash created a shockwave that swept outwards in a circle. Under the recoil, Ice Yuan retreated several steps, but Xiaoyixian was sent flying back. Her severely wounded body made her no match for a Six Star Battle Sect.
Steadying herself, Xiaoyixian’s already pale face grew even paler. Looking at the impervious ice walls, a bitter look crossed her face. It seemed today, there was truly no way out…
“Come back to the Glacier Valley with me, and you still have a way to live. If you persist in your stubbornness, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Ice Yuan’s footsteps echoed as he slowly approached Xiaoyixian, his tone still indifferent.
As Ice Yuan approached, the coldness in Xiaoyixian’s gray-purple eyes deepened. She quickly formed strange hand seals, knowing it was time to lift the seal on her Poison Body. Though it would hasten its unleashing, it was better than being captured by this old man…
Seeing Xiaoyixian’s hand seals, Ice Yuan knew she was making a desperate attempt. His face darkened, and he dashed forward, his palms shrouded in intense cold.
Ice Yuan’s speed was incredibly fast, and in a few blinks, he caught up to the retreating Xiaoyixian. His indifferent face twisted with coldness, and his icy hands struck, turning into a series of afterimages.
A low sonic boom formed under the fierce palm strike, and the air turned into a misty white cloud.
Xiaoyixian’s slender figure dodged like a tiny boat in a storm, each evasion fraught with danger. If she missed by a millimeter, she would be struck.
Although she narrowly avoided Ice Yuan’s relentless attacks, the hand seals to lift the seal on her Poison Body were interrupted, making the situation ever more perilous.
Bang!
Another wave of cold hit. Xiaoyixian, unable to dodge, raised her palm again and clashed with Ice Yuan.
Puh!
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xiaoyixian was sent flying. Ice Yuan’s face remained indifferent, and a blast of cold from his mouth froze the blood.
“Your Disaster Poison Body has yet to reach its peak. Otherwise, even old man like me wouldn’t be able to do anything to you. But unfortunately…”
Ice Yuan smiled thinly, his cold eyes never weakening.
With these words, Ice Yuan lost his patience. He flashed, launching another attack at Xiaoyixian. This time, his eyes were filled with a hint of murderous intent. As long as her Disaster Poison Body survived, whether Xiaoyixian was alive or dead mattered little…
Seeing the cruel smile on Ice Yuan’s face, Xiaoyixian understood his killing intent and hurriedly mobilized her remaining Dou Qi for a final stand.
Crack!
Just as Xiaoyixian made her decision, the massive ice wall around her suddenly cracked, and a burst of sound followed as cracks rapidly spread, finally exploding open.
The sudden rupture startled Ice Yuan. Before he could react, a rush of wind came from the ravine, and figures shot towards him.
Caught off guard, Ice Yuan panicked, releasing waves of icy Dou Qi that collided with the incoming figures. Yet, what followed was a series of pained screams. To his chagrin, he found that the Glacier Valley disciples had been used as weapons.
“Young man, you dare to ruin the Glacier Valley’s plans. I will chase you to the ends of the earth!” Furious roars came from the ravine, and Ice Yuan looked up, seeing a young man smiling at the edge, holding two Glacier Valley disciples captive—evidently, he was the one who threw them.
“The Glacier Valley indeed has no shame. So many people attacking an injured woman… it’s really shameless.”
The young man smiled and turned his gaze to another spot. The pale, beautiful face of a woman there was now filled with disbelief because of his sudden appearance.
Seeing the pale, heart-wrenching face, Xiao Yan’s eyes softened. He spoke gently, “I’m sorry, I’m late…”
