Xing Mie remained calm at this moment, realizing he had indeed underestimated his opponent. This guy actually possessed strength at least at the Supreme Saint realm.
Looking at the ice crystals stained with his own blood, he felt unbearable pain, because Lin Chen's palm strike had directly destroyed half of his Dao energy. He turned around, looked at Lin Chen who stood proudly on the ice crystals, and said to him, "I really underestimated you, Lin Chen. It seems that you are quite impressive to be able to hurt my two nephews, but this is far from over."
"You think you're the only one with the ability to enhance yourself? Spirit beasts from the Sacred Realm? I'll take them down without hesitation." Xing Mie suddenly formed a hand seal and drew an ice and snow symbol in the void. Then, the symbol actually materialized and began to envelop Xing Mie.
"Heavenly Cold Dao Technique, Fusion." The Dao Technique, which had fused with the energy of the Ice Talisman, began to emit a strong light, not a yellow light wave, but a purple one. That's right, it had actually forcibly raised Xing Mie's strength to the Supreme Saint realm. Looking at Lin Chen again, his eyes were fierce. He hadn't expected that he had also been forced to use a secret technique.
"Lin Chen, if I don't kill you today, I will have no face to live in Dark Ice City from now on."
It's truly laughable that Xing Mie, who has cultivated for decades, was forced to use his family's secret technique by a mere child like Lin Chen.
"Prepare to die." Xing Mie raised one hand to the sky, and in an instant, a huge ice cone formed in his hand and he threw it at Lin Chen. If it hit him, the ice cone was mixed with Dao energy and it would probably pierce through him directly.
"Holy crap? Is there magic in this? That's fun." Lin Chen was full of surprise, but he didn't seem serious at all.
Lin Chen leaped forward alone. Although his body was large, his speed was not slowed down at all. The ice spike hit empty air, leaving a large hole a meter wide in the ground. "Wow," Lin Chen exclaimed, "that's really good."
Xing Mie's attacks did not stop. Another huge ice spike was completed in the blink of an eye and slammed directly at Lin Chen. It was easy for him to dodge by jumping back and forth, but the old guy's attacks were very frequent, and he simply did not have time to replenish his physical strength and energy.
Lin Chen checked the system and found that there weren't many spirit beast cores left in his space. He immediately regretted not picking up some while he was traveling.
However, it wasn't without its flaws. Lin Chen discovered that while this thing was fast and quick to attack, it had no defensive capabilities. If he could sneak up behind it and slap it down, wouldn't he be able to take it down in one blow?
Lin Chen's lips curled up, and his steps never stopped, charging forward.
Xing Mie's attacks did not consume any energy, because they were based on the Frost Dao Technique, and he was in the Frost Valley, where a continuous supply of cold air was available for him.
After using the [Spiritual Shadow] technique, Lin Chen's speed increased by nearly double again, and Xing Mie's ice spikes could no longer track him, leaving only afterimages everywhere.
[Spiritual Void Strike] broke through to within ten meters of Xing Mie. Lin Chen prepared to use the brief disappearance of Spiritual Void Strike combined with Spiritual Void Ghost Shadow to kill Xing Mie directly from behind.
Xing Mie had already been through this with Lin Chen once, so he was definitely on guard. He used part of the converted ice crystal energy to make ice cones, and the other part turned into an ice crystal armor, which he layered thicker and thicker on his back. Even if Lin Chen clapped his hands twice, he wouldn't be able to break through it.
Xing Mie could already imagine Lin Chen's humiliation and the miserable sight of him being pierced by the ice spikes.
Lin Chen sneered in the void. This was indeed an old fool. Lingxu's attack was not aimed at his back at all. Lin Chen also knew that even if he hit his back, it would not be enough to kill him instantly. His real target was his chest.
With a "hiss," Lin Chen's entire arm pierced through Xing Mie's left chest, and warm blood flowed down his arm, melting the millennia-old ice beneath his feet.
"You??" Before Xing Mie could finish speaking, Lin Chen sent another palm strike, detaching himself from Xing Mie's body.
"Pfft, pfft," Xing Mie lay on the ground bleeding profusely, unable to speak.
Lin Chen no longer wanted to hear his last words and walked straight to where Ye Yao was.
The entire place erupted in chaos. The Grand Elder had actually been killed by this young man. Everyone panicked and ran for their lives. This was a demon; anyone who messed with him was doomed.
"Run! Run!"
"Forget about Xing Mie, our lives are more important, brothers, let's run!"
The noise and trampling sounds soon subsided, and the entire cliffside area returned to calm.
"Ding! Mission accomplished! You have killed a Saint-level expert. Congratulations on obtaining the Saint-level cultivation technique [Ice Rift Frost Strike]."
Remember, Lin Chen wasn't just limited to fire attribute. Consider that he could devour the crystal cores of spirit beasts of various attributes; isn't that enough to prove his point? Moreover, he previously absorbed the crystal core of a supreme-level Ice and Snow Lord.
Lin Chen came to Ye Yao's side, and seeing his tired face, he was immediately filled with anger. After letting go of them one by one, Lin Chen quickly carried Ye Yao down the cliff and headed towards Sheng'an City.
Three days later, Ye Yao slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lin Chen, who was sleeping on top of her. Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked very pitiful.
"You're awake? What happened?" Lin Chen was very excited to see Ye Yao awake, but he didn't notice how gentle her eyes were.
Ye Yao slowly replied, "That day I came back alone to find them and ask if they had obtained any information. Who knew that I would be ambushed by them on the way. They were very despicable, using poison to prevent me from using my strength."
"When I woke up again, I was in the Frozen Abyss, but thankfully, they didn't do anything to me. Their target is you."
Lin Chen watched Ye Yao quietly waiting for her to finish speaking.
"I was afraid you wouldn't come, and I was also afraid you would. I didn't want you to be in danger because of me, but you've never let me down." Ye Yao said to Lin Chen, embracing him tenderly.
"It's alright, it's all in the past. Nobody knows I saved you, the Empress. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. They probably all know I'm pretty awesome anyway! Haha." Lin Chen said with his usual shameless smile.
This successful rescue of Ye Yao also brought Lin Chen considerable rewards. He received over 20,000 points, enough for another big lottery draw, and his equipment and cultivation technique inventory needed updating anyway. Excited by this, he immediately got out of bed and began.
"One draw, ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Supreme-level cultivation technique [Phoenix Dance Across the World]!"
"Drawing the lottery twice, ding! Congratulations on winning one spirit crystal of the Supreme Saint Realm spirit beast [Illusory Snow Leopard]."
………
As expected, Lin Chen received only some unremarkable cultivation techniques and spirit crystals. This was the last guaranteed reward; let's see what it is.
"Ding! Congratulations on winning the [Nine Transformations Heaven and Earth Pill] after ten draws! (Increases the chance and quality of spirit beast transformation, making you incredibly handsome!)"
"Holy crap, this is amazing, this is amazing!" Lin Chen thought it was wonderful beyond words.
