Having achieved her goal, Xiaoman wandered around the pit, occasionally teasing it with a word or two.
As time goes by, the power of the Ice Shadow is decreasing.
"The Ghost Beast Clan are all treacherous villains. We must not get close to them before we have fully figured out their tricks."
Having made up their minds, they quickly increased the distance between themselves and the enemy.
Only when it senses that it is about to rush out will it rapidly approach and then quickly retreat.
This process repeated itself, and the strength of the Frost Shadow declined rapidly.
"It's time to reap the rewards."
He rushed to the edge of the pit, and the moment he peeked out, an icy arrow struck him.
Lean back quickly.
An icy arrow pierced through his cheek, its intensely cold aura freezing his face stiff.
A chilling sensation surged through his face and into his body.
The blood flow slows down.
Xiaoman felt a little sleepy, so she immediately circulated all her internal energy to dispel the remaining cold energy in her body.
At the same time, the icy shadow also burst out of the crater.
"You despicable little thief, you're asking for death."
With a single grip, a long spear of ice gradually took shape, radiating a chilling light capable of instantly freezing a person.
As the spear's edge drew near, the air itself seemed to freeze.
Xiaoman looked serious and retreated continuously, not far from the edge of the area.
"Wind Barrier!"
A layer of yellow light floated on the surface of the body, and the cold light could no longer penetrate the body.
The unorthodox and bizarre Fish Intestine Sword Technique was continuously unleashed.
The Frost Shadow nearly fell victim to the attack several times, but managed to escape unscathed thanks to its extensive combat experience.
After prolonged close-quarters combat, the Wind Barrier was covered with a thick layer of frost, and its weight increased more than tenfold.
Each movement consumes a great deal of energy.
Xiaoman was a little tired, so she quickly changed her strategy, "Chasing Wind Shadowless Sword Technique, without shadow or form!"
The sword move was executed, but nothing changed in the surroundings.
"Ha, ha!" A sneer flashed in the icy shadow's eyes. "This is..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sword beam appeared from the left and struck him.
It has no physical form; it merely cuts a slit in the shadow, which closes in the blink of an eye.
"You've got some skill." The icy shadow abandoned all its contempt, gripping its spear with both hands, unleashing an even more domineering, chilling aura that swept outwards. "Die!"
The spear was like an ice dragon emerging from its cave, incredibly agile and unpredictable.
Xiaoman dared not confront him head-on, and kept dodging at lightning speed...
In the air.
Ao Jia watched in fear, but dared not go up to help, and could only anxiously watch.
"At this rate, the eldest princess is no match for him. What should we do? What should we do?"
His subordinates were also very anxious, racking their brains for a solution.
Suddenly, a staff officer's eyes lit up. "We can use stealth fighters to get close, then use a special channel to notify the princess to get out of the way, and then provide fire support."
"agree!"
"agree!"
Ao Jia immediately dispatched his most elite drivers to secretly approach the combat zone.
Before even getting close, they were affected by the cold light, and their invisibility was broken.
Fortunately, they were high in the sky, and the icy shadows did not notice them.
Boom! Boom!
Explosions continued to erupt below, and the two stealth fighter pilots were in a panic. "Even if we die, we must protect the eldest princess."
"I'll listen to you."
The two were mentally prepared to die as they swooped down from the sky.
As soon as they broke through the clouds, both combatants saw them.
Xiaoman shouted anxiously, "Go back quickly!"
The icy shadow grinned strangely and deliberately charged toward the open ground.
"What is he trying to do?" Xiaoman's mind raced. Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her. She unleashed a powerful sword strike and shouted into the communicator, "He's trying to use this momentum! Quickly, pull up!"
The pilot heard it clearly and quickly pulled up the fighter jet.
As soon as the fighter jets left, the area where they had been was constantly exploding with air.
Their hearts were pounding in their chests, and they were panting heavily.
"Return to base! Return to base!"
They resolutely carried out Xiaoman's orders.
The Ice Shadow's plan was thwarted, and it lost almost a layer of power, causing its color to dim.
"As long as we wear it down, we will definitely be able to kill it."
Xiaoman kept moving around, leaving afterimages everywhere.
If it were any other being, it would really take a lot of effort to find Xiaoman's true location. But the shadow's icy power was an anomaly. A ring of cold light enveloped all the shadows, and then they exploded into ice.
"Mouse, I've got you!"
"Yeah?"
Even without the illusion of a real afterimage to confuse the enemy, Xiaoman, as a high-level assassin, is still incredibly fast.
Shadows kept appearing around, but no matter how hard the icy shadow chased, it couldn't catch up with them.
As time went on, his anger surged to the top of his head, and he recklessly pounded on his surroundings.
Little Mamba must not let it attack indiscriminately, so that it can deplete its power and find an opportunity to kill it.
Ten minutes or so passed.
The aura of the icy shadow flickered, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.
"Don't rush, wait a little longer." Xiaoman was also very tired, but she didn't dare to stop and gritted her teeth to persevere.
Unbeknownst to her, she had been in such a rush that she hadn't turned off her communicator.
When this reached Ao Zanglong, he immediately began to analyze the current situation.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Prepare high-precision laser weapons!"
"Your Majesty, what is this?" asked a trusted aide.
"Execute!" Ao Zanglong said sternly, staring intently at the large screen. "Princess, listen to me..."
"Um!"
Once Xiaoman's heart was finally at ease, she no longer held back and fled at top speed.
If the icy shadow wanted to catch up with her, it had to speed up as well.
This creates a vicious cycle.
Time flies, and ten minutes later...
It no longer had the strength to chase, and could only stand there, glaring fiercely at Xiaoman, "If you're so capable, then don't run away!"
Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not stupid. Do you think I'd just stand there and let you hit me? You idiot!"
"You, you, you?"
His chest heaved rapidly.
Ao Canglong finally got his chance to attack and roared at the top of his lungs, "Fire!"
Several high-precision laser beams shot toward the icy shadow.
If it were at its peak, it wouldn't be afraid at all, but now that its strength is only half, it's so scared that it keeps avoiding it.
At this moment, Xiaoman also left a real afterimage in place, while her real body rushed forward at high speed.
"Walking on the wind!"
His speed had increased to about three times, and in the blink of an eye he was behind the icy shadow. "Die!"
The Fish Intestine Sword pierced its body, but did not cause any real damage.
The wound is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"How can I kill him?" His mind raced, slides flashing before his eyes before finally settling on the top of his head. He leaped up and thrust the Fish Intestine Sword with all his might.
Bang! Clang!
An invisible aura of primal ice blocked the fatal blow.
Fear flashed in the icy shadow's eyes. It quickly distanced itself, turning into a wisp of dust and disappearing instantly.
"Target lost!"
"Target lost!"
Several gunners relayed the message.
Xiaoman was also in a bad state and dared not search forward; she could only try to feel with her heart.
After a long silence, he shook his head with a wry smile, "They ran away."
Ao Zanglong and the others immediately rushed to Xiaoman's side and protected her in the center.
"Princess, retreat!"
Xiaoman shook her head, "This scourge's power is too great; we must never let it recover."
Looking at the transport ship, he said, "Let's go back to the warship and recover first."
The crowd covered her...
Planet, deep within.
The icy shadows became extremely ethereal, as if they were about to vanish at any moment.
"This injury to my very essence will take at least a few years to fully recover." He sighed and plunged into the pool.
The pool was also strange; it was shrouded in mist, yet it did not freeze.
Soon, the icy shadow entered a meditative state, and the surrounding mist surged wildly into its body.
Before long, all the fog was absorbed by it.
The icy shadow suddenly opened its eyes, its face filled with wild joy, "I didn't expect that I would need to use up almost all of my essence before I could break through."
It's stronger now than it was in its heyday.
His body slowly rose from the pool, and swirling currents rose beneath his feet, gently enveloping him.
The pool water seemed to come alive, enveloping the entire body and gradually transforming into a human shape...
Two hours later.
Xiaoman has fully recovered.
"Scorpion King, prepare a large quantity of high-explosive bombs for me." After a pause, "Also prepare some disposable defensive items, just in case."
"clear."
The items arrived quickly, and Xiaoman tied them to her body.
“Princess, do you want to go alone?” Ao Jia blocked her way, placing his right hand on his heart. “I request to go with you.”
“I also request to go along,” said Ao Zanglong.
The nearby generals also made a collective statement.
“It’s impossible for everyone to go.” Xiaoman quickly glanced at everyone. “Ao Jia and I will go. The rest of you will stay in the airspace. Once you find any signs that the Frost Shadow is trying to escape, launch a fierce attack. If necessary, destroy the entire planet.”
"I can agree to the first one, but I can't do the last one." Ao Canglong said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, you are the pillar of Chihun. Even if it escapes, it will only cause trouble in my territory. We can fill it with lives and kill it."
"My life is precious, but yours isn't? Is mine more valuable than yours?" Xiaoman was furious.
"No matter what you say, we will not agree to destroy the planet," Ao Zanglong and the others said firmly.
"Sigh, alright!" Xiaoman knew that saying anything more was useless, so she could only leave with Aojia.
As they raced through the previous battle zone, the communication system crackled to life: "Suspicious energy fluctuations detected in the center of the planet, resembling the Shadow of Ice."
"receive!"
Xiaoman sped up, and Aojia couldn't keep up.
"Princess, wait for me."
She didn't slow down; instead, she sped up, thinking to herself, "I made you come along because I knew you weren't fast enough to keep up."
The people of the Scorpion Territory later realized just how great the Grand Princess was.
After passing through two large mountains, we arrived at the edge of the planet's central region. Even before we got close, frost appeared on our bodies.
"It seems to have gotten a little stronger." He frowned slightly, shook off the frost, and moved forward at full speed.
Awooo! Roar!
The sound was painful, yet it carried a powerful pressure; without using one's inner strength to resist, one's eardrums would be shattered.
"No matter how strong you are, I will kill you." With this resolve in his heart, he ignored the roar and accelerated forward.
After rushing through the canyon, a giant deep pool appeared ahead, constantly emitting white steam.
As I was filled with astonishment, a blue giant, tens of meters tall and completely enveloped in water, appeared out of thin air.
"Insects, die!"
The blue giant, his face full of disdain, stretched out his finger and flicked out a drop of water.
The water droplets carried the sounds of wind and thunder, moving with incredible speed, and rushed to my side in an instant.
Xiaoman's expression was grave as she kept changing her position, but the water droplets seemed to have eyes, following her every move...
