“Wa ...
On the northern bank of the Fire Prison, there were extremely terrified roars. The space was shaking, and the dry earth beneath their feet had completely cracked. The Fire Prison in front of them was churning even more violently. If it had not been for the blockade by the elders of the major Flame Gods, everyone would have been engulfed in it long ago.
The power of that flame shadow... can be imagined.
It is obvious that it has been accumulating strength for a long time under the hellfire.
“Master!!!!” Yun Che roared, his eyes bloodshot. The moment he feared the most actually happened so quickly… and it was even more tragic than the worst he had expected.
Not only was it the full-strength attack that the other ancient horned dragon had been preparing for a long time, but Mu Xuanyin was also concentrating all her strength to kill the first ancient horned dragon, leaving her with almost no defensive profound energy!
It was like falling from heaven to hell, and everyone was so shocked that their hearts almost burst. Yan Wancang took several steps back in horror, and Yan Juehai and Huo Rulie's hair stood on end, their eyes were about to burst.
“Ah…ah…”
"How...how could this happen!!"
In that moment that flashed by like a stream of light, the three sect leaders all saw clearly that what suddenly hit Mu Xuanyin from behind was... clearly a dragon's tail!!
The tail of the dragon!!
The fire curtain fell, and in the projection of the Vermillion Bird, above the roiling inferno, the side of the blood-stained Qionglong that had just escaped from the ice...
Suddenly, another ancient dragon that looked exactly the same but had no scars at all appeared!
Mu Xuanyin's figure had disappeared, buried in the vast hell of fire.
Before everyone had recovered from their shock, the second dragon had already pounced forward, roaring.
Boom——
The waves of fire were surging, and the thousands of miles of sea were violently stirred up again... and among the flying flames, a striking white shadow appeared.
This white shadow made Yun Che shout out in surprise: “Master!”
But as soon as the voice came out, joy turned into fear again.
She had fought the ancient horned dragon for more than four hours, and although she had consumed a lot of energy, she was not injured at all. But at this moment, her snow-white clothes were stained with blood, her icy hair was disheveled, the bloodstains at the corners of her lips and eyes were scarlet and dazzling, and her icy skin and snowy face were covered with a layer of frightening paleness.
Her back was completely stained red.
The Snow Princess Sword was still in her hand, but drops of blood were slowly dripping from the tip of the sword.
The icy aura that had covered almost the entire Inferno Prison was now extremely weak and chaotic.
The moment she was blasted away from the sea of fire, the dragon flames of the two horned dragons had already covered the sky, leaving her no chance to catch her breath.
Mu Xuanyin retreated quickly, but her flight path was somewhat erratic, like a leaf floating in the waves. The Snow Princess Sword swept across, creating a cloud of ice... but it was swallowed up by the waves of fire in an instant, and turned into nothingness...
Puff!!
A large cloud of blood mist filled the sky, and Mu Xuanyin fell into the endless sea of fire like a white bird that was shot down.
Yun Che opened his mouth wide, but he couldn’t even shout out. His entire body was cold, and he only felt strong resentment and helplessness.
His strength was only at the starting point of the divine path, while the Qilong that Mu Xuanyin was fighting was at the top of the divine path. In terms of strength, they were completely on two different planes. As the second ancient Qilong finally appeared, Mu Xuanyin didn't even have a chance to react and was directly forced into a desperate situation, but he couldn't do anything... Not to mention rushing over to save her, he couldn't even get closer.
Even if he could really get close... with his strength, what use would ten thousand of him or a million of him be?
Even though he knew about the existence of the other ancient horned dragon, he was unable to tell Mu Xuanyin... He was so anxious that he even swore an oath and begged, but no one believed him.
All he could do was watch...watch helplessly.
Because, he was just a humble grain of sand... Even if he risked his entire existence, he would not be able to block the huge wave that was about to bury Mu Xuanyin - even more sadly, he could not even do this.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After being blasted into the inferno again and again, Mu Xuanyin's breath became weaker and weaker, and the blood on her body quickly spread. Under the violent bombardment of the two ancient horned dragons, she was unable to even seal her wounds.
Just as Yun Che had said before, if the two horned dragons were forced to appear at the same time, it would definitely be a fatal blow, and Mu Xuanyin would not be given any chance to escape.
Her profound energy was greatly damaged, she was seriously injured, and she was surrounded... This was their only chance! If she escaped today, they would no longer have the possibility of burying Mu Xuanyin - Huo Rulie's previous words were not exaggerated at all. Mu Xuanyin might not be able to defeat two ancient horned dragons, but if she simply escaped, let alone two, three dragons would not be able to stop her.
The attacks of the two ancient horned dragons were like violent storms and huge waves, without a single moment of pause. Mu Xuanyin could not even fight back, and even her defense became increasingly weak. She was blasted into the God Burial Fire Prison time and time again. Every time she struggled to escape, her aura would weaken even more.
In addition, she was unable to take care of her injuries, but had to exert all her strength, causing her injuries to rapidly worsen... She was like a duckweed struggling and swaying in a storm, which could be shattered at any time.
Yun Che stared blankly, and could only stare like this... Flowing in his soul was the sadness and helplessness of the weak, as well as the hatred for his own incompetence.
Why did I come to the God Realm… He muttered to himself painfully in his heart, how good it is to be in the lower world, there is no one I cannot save, no thing I cannot do, and I will never have to endure this helplessness and torment.
Why do you have to be so nice to me? If you have always been as harsh and ruthless to me as you appear...how could I be like this...
"There are actually... there are actually two horned dragons... How could... How could this happen!" Yan Juehai's pupils shrank, and until now, he was still in shock and couldn't believe it.
"It's over... It's all over..." Yan Wancang muttered in despair.
Mu Xuanyin was finished... Their dream of nurturing a Divine Lord was also over...
“We actually…were kept in the dark for so many years…” Huo Rulie’s body was also shaky, and the arm that was pressing on Yun Che was completely powerless.
Yun Che glanced sideways and said coldly: “You will definitely not save my master, right?!”
After hearing this cold remark, Yan Wancang, who felt guilty, could only sigh and close his eyes and said, "It's not that we don't want to, but with our strength, even if..."
“No need to explain, I know you won’t!” Yun Che was laughing, a laugh that was icy cold to the heart: “Even if it was just a small reminder, a reminder that could not possibly have any negative impact, but could potentially save my master’s life, you were unwilling to do so. How could you possibly be willing to risk your lives to save my master now—even if she was in such a desperate situation because of you!!”
"..." Yan Wancang's breathing stagnated. He moved his lips but didn't say anything in the end. He stared at the projection of Suzaku in a trance.
The elders of the Suzaku Sect in the back all had angry looks on their faces, but this time, none of them had the words to scold.
"Alas!" Huo Rulie sighed heavily: "The only one who can save your master now is herself. Perhaps, she can find a chance to escape... This is the only way."
But looking at Mu Xuanyin's current state and the two Qionglongs suppressing him like crazy, he knew very well how slim the hope was.
Previously, Mu Xuanyin had easily extinguished the fire of the ancient horned dragon, but now, the situation had completely reversed... or several times over, her ice, just formed, would be shattered in an instant. Mu Xuanyin was retreating with every breath, and the blood oozing from the corners of her mouth had already dyed her entire neck red... and at this time, Yun Che saw an unusual red on her face.
That is...
poison! !
The poison of the dragon!!
“Hiss!” Yun Che’s fingers were covered in blood… The poison of the Qionglong Breath was not terrible to Mu Xuanyin, but that was usually the case. Now, it was fatal to her.
Just like Mu Bingyun a thousand years ago, with her strength, after being poisoned by the Qionglong Poison, she could have used her profound energy to quickly completely dissolve it. But after she was poisoned, she had no chance to dissolve it at all, and had to fight Huo Rulie with all her strength. The more intense her profound energy was, the more intense the poison became. Afterwards, she was seriously injured by Huo Rulie and had to flee desperately... After falling into the Profound Sky Continent, she lost all her profound energy for a period of time, which led to the poison invading her soul and being incurable.
Mu Xuanyin's current state was exactly like Mu Bingyun's back then! She was poisoned by the Qionglong poison, which was not only incurable, but would only cause the poison to spread rapidly and worsen under a full-strength battle. The continued worsening of the Qionglong poison would cause her body and profound strength to deteriorate, greatly accelerating her approaching death.
Boom! !
Mu Xuanyin was once again blasted into the inferno... but this time, she flew up in a split second, and a large amount of blood mist suddenly spurted out of her mouth, pouring onto the Snow Princess Sword in her hand.
Yun Che’s Ice Phoenix bloodline suddenly throbbed violently at this moment. He raised his head quickly… In the Ice Phoenix projection, an extremely strong Ice Phoenix aura enveloped him.
Yun Che's expression suddenly changed, revealing deep fear...
Ice Phoenix Blood! ?
But immediately, his fear was magnified several times...
No! This is... this is essence and blood!
In addition to the Ice Phoenix Blood, there is also Essence Blood!!
Master, could it be that... could it be that...
bite!
The world suddenly became extremely quiet.
The boiling of the sea of fire stopped, and the entire hell seemed to be suddenly sealed, and became completely silent.
The blue light on Mu Xuanyin’s body, which was so weak that it was almost extinguished, suddenly became violent... It was dozens of times more intense than any previous moment! !
Even the two ancient horned dragons that were trying their best to bury Mu Xuanyin suddenly slowed down their movements. Their red dragon scales reflected an increasingly cold blue light. Then, they let out a strange roar and began to retreat at the same time. The flames that had been burning on their bodies were extinguished at an extremely fast speed.
The blue light was spreading, and the surrounding hellfire and the images projected by Suzaku had completely turned blue.
Mu Xuanyin's beautiful eyes were distracted, and the blood all over her body depicted a cold and beautiful beauty. She slowly raised the Snow Sword in her hand, and a tiny mysterious formation was slowly rotating and shining on the tip of the sword.
At the moment when this mysterious formation was formed, the two ancient horned dragons became motionless like the surrounding ice prison, as if space was sealed and time was stopped.
“This… this is…”
Through the Suzaku projection, everyone felt a chill and fear that penetrated directly into their souls.
"Could it be... the legendary Ice Phoenix Forbidden Formation?" Huo Rulie murmured.
“Ice Phoenix Forbidden Formation? What is that?” Yun Che asked anxiously, gritting his teeth.
Huo Rulie stared at the projection of the Vermillion Bird and said in astonishment, "Many dominant sects have forbidden skills that they will only use when they are in desperate situations. Our Vermillion Bird Sect has it, and the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect also has it... It's called Broken Moon Destruction."
Yun Che: “…”
"Although I have never seen it, I have seen records of it. The forbidden profound formation of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect requires the Ice Phoenix's source blood and a large amount of blood essence to activate. It is powerful enough to destroy the universe... However, not only does it consume a huge amount of energy, it will also cause a significant regression in profound strength cultivation, and greatly reduce lifespan and... talent. If one's cultivation is not up to par and forcibly activates it, it may even be directly backfired and killed."
“What!?” Yun Che’s pupils widened. He bit two teeth in his mouth and broke them. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he did not feel any pain at all.
“It seems that your master knew that there was no hope of escape and that he was doomed to die, so he…” Huo Rulie’s body tensed up and he didn’t say anything else.
Mu Xuanyin’s expression was beautiful and calm… It was a kind of calmness that Yun Che had never seen before. In this miraculous azure world, her arm gently extended…
bite!
Time seemed to have really stopped, and there was no sound anymore. In the projection of Suzaku, and in everyone's eyes, there was only the stream of light transformed from the Snow Princess Sword.
The stream of light flew very slowly and seemed to be motionless. After an unknown amount of time, the tip of the sword finally touched something. The mysterious formation at the tip of the sword suddenly burst out at this moment, releasing a dazzling blue light.
The point where the sword tip pointed was the dragon's fault!
It was the ancient horned dragon that appeared later, with its entire body intact!
In the rotating ice-blue mysterious formation, the Snow Princess Sword did not stop, but continued to move forward, piercing through silently.
Between heaven and earth, a dreamy blue light trace was cut.
People didn't even realize that it had pierced through the body of an ancient horned dragon.
clang!
clang!
The two ancient horned dragons were still in a static state, but two blue rays of light shot out from both sides of the body of the horned dragon that was pierced through the dragon's fault by the Snow Princess Sword, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth rays...
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang...
The tenth one!
The twelfth one!
Under the blue glow, the ancient horned dragon remained completely still, quickly turning into an icy blue color.
At the moment when the glow completely dissipated, a long crack suddenly appeared on the body of the ancient dragon, and then quickly spread to the dragon claws and tail. Then, its huge dragon body collapsed under the rapid burst...
It turned into broken ice all over the sky and scattered onto the frozen hellfire below.
