The sound waves emitted by the jade zither were extremely destructive, leaving scratches of varying depths all over the ground and walls.

The snow monsters outside the palace were annihilated into dust by the sonic force, leaving only their inner cores scattered on the ground.

Lin Muze and the others looked pained, patting their heads as they tried to resist the sonic force.

However, this sonic force is omnipresent, and their resistance is ineffective.

The Yeti King and Ruan Xiyan, who were closer to each other, were the most affected.

The Yeti King was the first to be blasted away by the power emanating from the Jade Zither, knocking down the pillars behind him.

Seeing the Yeti King's disheveled appearance, Ruan Xiyan was about to assume a defensive stance.

Who knew that when those sound waves approached her, they all transformed into a gentle force, without harming her in the slightest.

A soft, sonic sound surrounded her, instantly dispelling her fatigue.

Seeing such blatant discrimination, the Yeti King felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, neither rising nor falling, making him extremely uncomfortable.

The sonic power emanating from the jade zither gradually subsided, and everyone present felt better.

The Yeti King crawled out from a pile of rubble, and looked at Ruan Xiyan with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake.

Everything has been ruined at the last minute, all because of this human being in front of me, all because of her!

It's impossible to quell its hatred without tearing her to pieces.

The Yeti King was surrounded by a thick demonic aura, which enhanced its physical strength and turned its entire body black.

Its face was covered in scales, its mouth was slightly open, revealing two sharp fangs, and its gray pupils gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, making it exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

"Oh dear! You were already ugly enough, but after transforming you're even more unbearable to look at." Lin Muze teased, covering his eyes with one hand. "Are you trying to win against us by being ugly? If so, we can't beat you."

“Looking like that, you could scare a child to tears if you went out.” Yu Qiqi also chimed in with a laugh, “So you’d better just hand over your inner core to us obediently, consider it a good deed.”

They spoke casually, but their hands slowly tightened their grip on their weapons, ready to strike at any moment.

Their goal in this trip is to kill the Yeti King, isn't it? Now that their objective is right in front of them, when will they ever get the chance to act?

"You ants, how dare you covet my inner core! I will slaughter you all!" The Snow Monster King charged forward in fury.

Ruan Xiyan and the others exchanged a glance and attacked from different directions.

The Yeti King was interrupted midway and suffered a backlash, resulting in a loss of power.

Along their journey, Ruan Xiyan and her companions had fought countless snow monsters.

Their individual strength and combat skills have improved significantly, and their teamwork has become increasingly seamless.

Ruan Xiyan confronted the Yeti King head-on.

Luo Wanyin controlled the poisonous spider to attack the Yeti King, occasionally throwing out poison to disrupt it.

Lin Muze brandished his spear, while Yu Qiqi, wielding a meteor hammer, delivered a finishing blow from the side.

They surrounded the Yeti King, attacking him from all sides, making him flustered and unable to defend himself.

Before long, the Yeti King was covered in all sorts of wounds.

As the number of wounds on his body increased, the Yeti King's face grew increasingly grim. "Damn humans! You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"

A violent and terrifying power emanated from its body, and Ruan Xiyan and the others quickly retreated.

The Yeti King turned its gaze to Lin Muze, who was closest to it, and slapped at his head with its sharp claws.

Lin Muze didn't have time to retreat, so he raised his hand and used his spear to block the attack.

The Yeti King slammed down with its other paw.

"Lin Muze!"

Yu Qiqi, who was closest to Lin Muze, reacted quickly and swung her meteor hammer at him with lightning speed.

The hammer struck the Yeti King's claws precisely, while the chains wrapped around Lin Muze's waist.

With a forceful pull, Yu Qiqi dragged him and the iron hammer away, completely distancing herself from the Yeti King.

Lin Muze landed steadily on the ground, and touched the top of his head with lingering fear. His head was still intact!

In just a few short moments, he teetered on the brink of life and death—it was truly thrilling!

The situation here was resolved without serious incident, but a large amount of black mist emerged around the Yeti King, which quickly covered the entire palace.

"This is the demonic energy that the Yeti King absorbed into his body before," Luo Wanyin said, gazing at the demonic energy in the sky.

"Demonic energy is overflowing! It wants to use its demonic power to annihilate us here at all costs. Sister Yan, what should we do now?" Yu Qiqi asked.

Among this group of people, Sister Yan will always be their pillar of support.

"Whether it can kill us with demonic energy depends on whether it has the ability. You all wait here and protect yourselves." After saying that, Ruan Xiyan rushed directly towards the Snow Monster King, to the center where the demonic energy was most concentrated.

"Sister Yan."

"Sister Yan," Lin Muze and the others said with concern.

“Xi Yan must have done this with a sense of proportion. Let’s protect ourselves and not distract her,” Luo Wanyin said, calming herself down.

They used their spiritual power to resist the surrounding demonic energy and slow down its invasion into their bodies.

At this moment, the demonic energy around it was at its densest. When the Snow Monster King saw that Ruan Xiyan still dared to come in front of it, it grinned ferociously, "You really aren't afraid of death! In that case, I'll grant your wish."

The demonic energy surged wildly towards Ruan Xiyan as she approached.

"Who will die is still uncertain," Ruan Xiyan said coldly.

She was able to absorb the demonic energy from those snow demons before, so why couldn't she absorb the demonic energy from the Snow Monster King?

Ruan Xiyan's eerie blood-red eyes were tinged with a dark purple, like the only light in the dark night, capable of devouring everything.

With a flick of her wrist, she slapped the Yeti King with her palm.

The Yeti King raised his lips in disdain, then suddenly froze, feeling the demonic energy within him draining away—a drain that was beyond his control.

All the demonic energy surged towards Ruan Xiyan on the other side.

"You can also absorb demonic energy?! That's impossible. How could your weak human body withstand the immense power of demonic energy?"

"You're courting death! It won't be long before your body explodes from the force!" the Yeti King said viciously.

The Yeti race is already among the most physically powerful of magical beasts, but even so, it suffered a great deal of pain when it first absorbed this demonic energy.

It endured the rampaging and churning of its flesh and bones by the domineering demonic energy within its body.

If it weren't for its strong self-healing ability, which allowed it to survive, it would probably have been devoured by the demonic energy long ago, leaving not even a trace.

It took it so long to barely absorb and refine the demonic energy, and it even went so far as to transform into this monstrous form, all so that the demonic energy could merge with it.

And this human arrogantly absorbs demonic energy right from the start, trying to stop it in this way. What makes her think she can do that?

Soon, Ruan Xiyan showed it with her actions what made her dare to do this!
