CHAPTER 898: CHAPTER 892

"Even if it means dying, we must never fall into their hands!"

Rich ice-blue True Yuan surged continuously from Ling Qianxue’s body, covering the cave entrance entirely. The incoming ice spikes quickly melted upon contact, but under the relentless barrage of ice spikes, the energy shield formed by the ice-blue True Yuan swiftly faded.

Ka! Ka!

The remaining ice spikes all struck the mountain walls surrounding the cave, and layers of thick ice quickly spread out with cracking sounds. Under this cold air, even the surrounding poisonous gas became much thinner.

Feeling the rapidly increasing cold around her, her face slightly changed. This cold was exceedingly strange, and if it invaded the body, it would indeed be extremely troublesome. It was precisely because of an earlier misstep that it seeped into her body causing her True Yuan to stagnate, resulting in injuries from two elders.

"Cannot linger here any longer."

With this thought flashing in her mind, Ling Qianxue decided quickly, transforming into a flash of lightning as she dashed out of the cave, heading directly toward the depths of the ravine.

"Ice Seal Array!"

As soon as Ling Qianxue rushed out of the cave, dozens of cold shouts rang out simultaneously. Instantly, the cold air in the world erupted as space within the ravine suddenly froze, and amidst a cascade of cracking sounds, it solidified into a thick ice, forming a colossal frozen cabinet almost a few dozen yards wide within the blink of an eye. Ling Qianxue and the Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall were both sealed inside. Those inside could not see outside, but those outside had a clear view of every move made by those within.

"Still thinking of escaping?"

The Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall in the sky sneered, and with a motion, he appeared behind Ling Qianxue in the blink of an eye, cold air swirling around his fist as he struck hard!

Sensing the terrifying cold air surging from behind, Ling Qianxue spun around instantly, a wisp of seemingly transparent ice-blue True Yuan rapidly flowing in her jade hand, and then she struck out with her palm.

"Boom!"

The moment the fist and palm met, a formidable wave of energy surged out in a concentric manner, sweeping across the surroundings.

Under the backlash of this energy wave, the Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall staggered back two steps, while Ling Qianxue was directly shaken into a backward flight. Already gravely injured, her combat power was greatly reduced, making it impossible for her to be a match for an Extreme Martial Saint.

Steadying her figure, Ling Qianxue’s already pale complexion turned even paler. As her eyes swept across the tightly sealed ice, a faint bitterness appeared on her cheeks. It seemed today, there truly was no escape.

"Go back to the Ice River Valley with me, and there’s still a chance for you to survive. Otherwise, don’t blame this old man for being ruthless!"

The Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall trod the void, walking slowly towards Ling Qianxue, his tone remaining indifferent.

Watching the slowly approaching elder, Ling Qianxue’s ice-blue eyes gradually filled with coldness. Her jade hand swiftly formed strange hand seals. At this step, she could only fully unleash the power of the Heaven Emperor Mirror. Although once its power erupts, her body would gradually turn into a mirror state, slowly losing vital breath and becoming the Artifact Spirit of the Heaven Emperor Mirror again, which was why she was unwilling to fully release her own seal.

Yet even so, it was still better than falling into this old man’s hands right now.

Seeing Ling Qianxue’s hand seals, the Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall seemingly understood her desperate gamble, and his face darkened instantly, his figure shooting out like lightning, astonishing cold air swirling rapidly in his palm.

The elder’s speed was extremely swift, catching up in a few blinks to Ling Qianxue, who was swiftly retreating. A cold smile appeared on his indifferent face as the hand enveloped in cold air directly unleashed bone-chilling energy, forming afterimages densely around Ling Qianxue.

The low sound bursts formed under this fierce palm wind, and the cold air was so dense that even the air turned into faint white vapors.

Ling Qianxue’s delicate figure was like a small boat amidst a violent storm, swaying left and right. Her evasions were fraught with peril, by a hair’s breadth, she was nearly hit hard.

Although she managed to narrowly evade the elder’s tide-like onslaught, the hand seal Ling Qianxue intended to use to break open the seal was constantly disrupted, leaving her in grave danger and extreme peril.

Bang!

Another icy gust surged in, and with no way to dodge, Ling Qianxue raised her palm to meet the attack once again.

"Splat!"

A mouthful of crimson blood sprayed out, and Ling Qianxue’s delicate figure was sent flying.

The Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall watched coldly, and as the crimson blood approached, a burst of icy air surged from his mouth, freezing it completely.

"It’s over."

The Hall Master of the Holy Treasure Hall

"Your power hasn’t truly reached its peak; if it had, even with an old man like me, it wouldn’t be easy to handle you. But unfortunately..." The Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall watched Ling Qianxue wipe off the blood from the corner of her mouth, smiling faintly, but the coldness in his eyes did not diminish.

Once he finished speaking, the Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall lost patience to speak further, his figure flashing as he dashed once more towards Ling Qianxue. This time, his eyes gradually filled with killing intent. As long as the Heaven Emperor Mirror was preserved, whether Ling Qianxue was alive didn’t matter. Seeing the cold smile appear on the Hall Master’s face, Ling Qianxue seemed to know he had murder in his heart and hastily gathered what little True Yuan she had left for a final confrontation!

"Crack!"

Just as Ling Qianxue made up her mind, the sealed giant ice wall around her suddenly emitted cracking sounds. Then, webs of cracks spread rapidly before abruptly exploding with a bang.

The sudden explosion of the ice wall took the Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall by surprise. Before he could react, a series of whistling sounds came from above the ravine, and shadows hurtled down violently towards him.

The unexpected attack left the elder a bit flustered. Several streams of icy True Yuan surged from his hand, colliding with the shadows rushing at him. But what rang out were shrill screams. The Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall focused his eyes, his face turning grim upon discovering these people being used as projectiles were actually disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace!

"Boy, how dare you ruin the major affair of my Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace. I will hunt you to the ends of the earth!"

As a few angry roars echoed from above the ravine during the pause in the Hall Master of the Ice Extreme Hall’s expression, the latter jerked his head up, only to see a young man standing with a smile at the edge of the ravine. In his hands were two more disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace, obviously confirming he had been the one hurling people earlier.
