The remnants of the "Dark Alliance" ventured into the far north. A biting wind howled, and swirling snow threatened to freeze everything in its path. Thick snow covered the land, creating a silvery-white landscape as far as the eye could see, except for the distant, towering icebergs, which resembled ferocious beasts, exuding a chilling aura.
The Bloodblade Sect expert frowned as he looked at the harsh environment: "This far north is indeed dangerous. We must proceed with caution and find the 'Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword' as soon as possible."
The elder of the Netherworld Palace nodded, a hint of caution in his eyes: "The spiritual energy here is chaotic, and many unknown dangers are hidden beneath the ice and snow. Everyone must remain vigilant and not scatter."
The group walked along a barely visible path, the ice and snow crunching under their feet. Suddenly, a vast frozen lake appeared ahead, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dazzling light under the sun.
“This frozen lake is strange, everyone be careful,” a member of the Dark Alliance said warily.
Before the words were even finished, the surface of the frozen lake suddenly cracked open, and a gigantic ice dragon burst forth from the water. The ice dragon was covered in crystal-clear scales, radiating a bone-chilling cold. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed a shard of ice at the group.
"Get out of the way!" shouted a Bloodblade Sect expert, and the group quickly used their movement techniques to scatter in all directions. Ice shards grazed past their bodies, striking the icebergs behind them and creating huge holes in them.
The elder of the "Netherworld Palace" swiftly formed hand seals and unleashed a sinister spell, sending black mist surging towards the ice dragon. The ice dragon thrashed within the mist, letting out an angry roar. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Blood Blade Sect expert swung his blood blade, unleashing a crimson sword aura that slashed towards the ice dragon.
Sensing the threat of the sword energy, the ice dragon twisted its body, dodging it. With a flick of its tail, it unleashed a wave of ice that surged towards the group. Everyone immediately unleashed their respective techniques and magical treasures to defend against the icy wave. In an instant, magical light flashed, and ice shards flew everywhere.
"This can't go on! Let's join forces and attack its weakness!" shouted a Bloodblade Sect expert. Everyone nodded in agreement. They observed the ice dragon's movements, searching for its opening.
After a fierce battle, a member of the "Dark Alliance" discovered that the Ice Serpent's eyes were its weak point. Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed a beam of spiritual energy towards the Ice Serpent's eyes. The Ice Serpent cried out in pain, its body writhing violently.
Taking advantage of the situation, everyone launched a full-scale attack. The Bloodblade Techniques of the Bloodblade Sect experts, the sinister spells of the Netherworld Palace elders, and various attacks from other members rained down on the Ice Dragon like a storm. Under the combined attack of everyone, the Ice Dragon finally could not withstand it and collapsed with a thud, turning into a puddle of icy water.
The group breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew this was only the beginning of the dangers in the far north. They continued onward, crossing iceberg after iceberg, until finally they discovered an ancient tomb sealed by ice and snow in a valley. The tomb's door was tightly shut, covered with ancient runes that shimmered faintly, as if telling tales of the vicissitudes of time.
"This should be it. The 'Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword' must be inside," the elder of the Netherworld Palace said excitedly.
However, as they approached the tomb's entrance, the runes suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful barrier of ice-based spiritual energy appeared before them. The Blood Blade Sect experts tried to attack the barrier with all their might, but when their blood blades struck it, only a shower of ice flowers appeared; the barrier remained completely unmoved.
“This barrier is very powerful; we need to find a way to break the runes,” said the elder of the Netherworld Palace.
The group began to carefully study the runes on the door, trying to find a way to decipher them. After some effort, they finally discovered that the arrangement of the runes seemed to be related to celestial phenomena. The elder of the "Netherworld Palace" recalled records of celestial runes in ancient texts and tried to input spiritual power in a specific order.
As spiritual energy was infused, the runes shimmered, and the barrier gradually dissipated. The ancient tomb's door slowly opened, releasing an ancient aura. A faint icy mist permeated the tomb, and various ice sculptures, each unique and lifelike, were arranged around it.
Deep within the ancient tomb, on an ice platform, lay a sword radiating a ghostly blue light—the "Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword." The sword's blade was crystal clear, as if carved from a single piece of ice, and its hilt was inlaid with a blue gemstone containing powerful ice-elemental spiritual energy.
"Finally found it!" The Bloodblade Sect expert rushed forward excitedly, wanting to pick up the sword. However, the instant his hand touched the sword, a group of ice-armored warriors suddenly appeared around the ice platform. The ice-armored warriors, wielding ice spears and exuding a chilling killing intent, charged towards the group.
"Prepare for battle!" shouted the elder of the Netherworld Palace. The crowd quickly formed ranks and engaged the ice-armored warriors in fierce combat. The ice-armored warriors were agile and powerful; their ice spears thrust out, carrying a chilling aura.
Although exhausted, the remaining forces of the "Dark Alliance" fought desperately for the "Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword." The blood blades of the Blood Blade Sect experts clashed with the ice spears, scattering a shower of ice flowers; the sinister magic of the "Netherworld Palace" elders attempted to corrupt the ice-armored warriors, but the ice-armored warriors seemed to have a certain resistance to sinister power.
During the battle, a member of the "Dark Alliance" was accidentally pierced by an ice spear, and the wound instantly froze. Upon seeing this, the other members rushed over to help him dispel the cold.
"We can't keep taking this beating passively. We must find the Ice Armor Warriors' weakness," said the Bloodblade Sect expert while parrying the Ice Armor Warriors' attacks.
During the battle, the group constantly observed the Ice Armor Warrior's movements and finally discovered that the Warrior's joints were its weak points. Therefore, they focused their attacks on the Ice Armor Warrior's joints. The Blood Blade Sect experts' blood blades struck the Ice Armor Warrior's joints with precision, while the "Netherworld Palace" elders used sinister magic to disrupt the Ice Armor Warrior's movements.
With everyone's efforts, the ice-armored warriors were gradually driven back. Taking advantage of the situation, the Bloodblade Sect expert picked up the "Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword." As soon as the sword was in his hand, a powerful surge of ice-elemental spiritual energy flowed into his body. He felt the sword's immense power, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Now that we have the 'Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword,' the people in the Spirit Ruins Market will no longer be our match!" said the Blood Blade Sect expert.
However, just as they were about to leave the ancient tomb, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from outside. Startled, they quickly stepped out of the tomb. There stood a gigantic yeti, several meters tall, covered in long white fur, radiating a powerful aura.
"It seems we're in trouble again," the elder of the Netherworld Palace said with a grave expression.
Can the remnants of the Dark Alliance defeat the Yeti and successfully leave the far north with the Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword? Meanwhile, in the Spirit Ruins Market, what actions will Lin Yang take after learning that the remnants of the Dark Alliance are in the far north? A new crisis is quietly approaching, and the situation is becoming increasingly tense.
Upon seeing the members of the "Dark Alliance," the Yeti let out a deafening roar, sending snowflakes flying. It raised its enormous bear paw and slammed it down towards them. Wherever the paw passed, the air seemed to freeze, forming icicles.
"Get out of the way!" shouted a Bloodblade Sect expert, and everyone hurriedly used their movement techniques to dodge in all directions. The bear paw slammed into the ground, instantly creating a huge ice crater, with ice shards flying everywhere.
The elder of the Netherworld Palace swiftly unleashed a sinister spell, sending black mist surging towards the snow monster in an attempt to disrupt its vision. Meanwhile, the Bloodblade Sect expert gripped the Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword, its blade gleaming brightly as a streak of icy blue sword energy slashed towards the snow monster.
The Yeti roared and swung its paw, dispersing the sword energy. Its body was exceptionally tough, and the sword energy caused it negligible damage. The Yeti took huge strides and charged towards the group, its speed catching them off guard.
A member of the "Dark Alliance" attempted to attack the Yeti with a magical artifact, but the attack only sent up a snowflake. The Yeti rushed in front of the group and swung its bear paw again, this time with a powerful suction force that pulled a member of the "Dark Alliance" towards it.
"Help me!" the member cried out in terror. Seeing this, the Blood Blade Sect expert swiftly used his movement technique to rush to the member's side, using the "Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword" to sever the suction force and rescue the member.
“This Yeti is too powerful; we must think of a way,” said the elder of the Netherworld Palace.
The group quickly discussed a strategy. They discovered that while the Yeti was powerful, it was relatively slow. Therefore, they decided to use guerrilla tactics to distract the Yeti and then look for opportunities to attack its weaknesses.
The Bloodblade Sect expert, wielding the "Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword," launched the first attack, unleashing a series of sword techniques. Ice-blue sword energy shot towards the snow monster like meteors. Meanwhile, the "Netherworld Palace" elder used sinister magic to disrupt the snow monster's movements. Other members also unleashed their own techniques, attacking the snow monster from different directions.
Enraged by the group's attacks, the Yeti roared furiously and wildly swung its paws. However, the group skillfully dodged, causing its attacks to miss time and again.
Under the relentless attacks of the group, the Yeti gradually grew tired. Seizing the opportunity, the Bloodblade Sect expert unleashed a full-force attack, the "Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword" releasing a massive ice-blue sword beam that slashed towards the Yeti's head.
The yeti sensed a deadly threat and tried to dodge, but the sword's edge was too fast and struck its head. The yeti let out a scream, swayed a few times, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The remnants of the Dark Alliance finally defeated the Yeti. Daring not to linger, they quickly headed towards the far north. Meanwhile, at the Spirit Ruins Market, Lin Yang summoned the leaders of various factions to discuss how to deal with the potential threat posed by the remnants of the Dark Alliance.
“If the ‘Dark Alliance’ obtains a powerful magic weapon, they will surely launch another attack on us. We must prepare in advance,” Lin Yang said.
The president of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce stated, "The Chamber will strengthen intelligence gathering and closely monitor their movements. We will be informed immediately if there are any signs that they are returning."
The Pavilion Master of Wanbaoge said, "We will continue to develop more powerful magic weapons to strengthen the defenses of the Lingxu Market. At the same time, we will develop magic weapons that counter ice-type magic weapons."
The elder of the Spirit Sword Sect said, "The sword cultivators will intensify their training and improve their strength. We will research sword techniques to counter ice-type skills and prepare for battle."
The people of Lingxu Market were on high alert, preparing for the potential challenge from the remnants of the "Dark Alliance." The remnants of the "Dark Alliance" had returned with the "Ice Soul Frost Crystal Sword," what kind of crisis would they bring to Lingxu Market? Could Lingxu Market successfully withstand their attack? Everything was shrouded in suspense, and a tense atmosphere once again enveloped Lingxu Market.
