The sky and the earth are cold, and the freezing wind is cutting.
Ai Yu's vision blurred, leaving only the rapidly solidifying dragon in her sight. Her limbs gradually lost feeling. Sun Wukong, feeling unwell, had been forced to return. She hoped Wei Xiaoran had indeed escaped to safety; for now, she had no time to care for him.
The ice dragon took shape and rushed over with a biting chill.
Ai Yu's palm was covering his heart, and there was frost on his face, as if he had been frozen.
A dagger suddenly appeared in Ai Yu's hand. Ai Yu pierced her chest and regained some of her spirit. She exhaled a breath of hot air.
"The Eight Trigrams represent Li, and the Vermillion Bird enters the formation."
At the command, Ai Yu's limbs warmed up, and a huge Bagua formation appeared under her feet, emitting a bright red light, and the sound of birds singing.
A giant red bird appeared from behind Ai Yu, with flames burning all over its body. The Suzaku faced the ice dragon, opened its beak and spit out a ball of fire.
The frozen dragon melted inch by inch and soon disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
The Suzaku's flames emanated freely, its eyes fixed on the human not far away. Half of its wings protected Ai Yu's body, and it spoke in human language, "My lord, are you alright?"
Ai Yu pressed his wound with three fingers: "It's okay."
000's eyes struggled for a moment, and she slapped her head. After a moment, she returned to her old self, her eyes empty and gazing at nowhere. But when she clapped her hands, the temperature around her dropped sharply again.
Ai Yu looked up when he heard the sound. There were not even a few wisps of clouds in the sky. Most of the light within a mile radius disappeared. Thousands of blood-colored ice cones had condensed in the sky at some point.
000 With ice wings on his back, he stood in the air. With a thought, thousands of ice cones fell down at once.
Zhuque protected Ai Yu behind him, drew a human shape, and quickly formed seals with his hands to form an all-round protective shield around Ai Yu.
The first rule of summoning a creature is to protect the life and safety of the summoner.
Second principle: complete the task.
Zhuque made hand gestures again, restored his true form, let out a long cry towards the sky, and flew up in a rotation with himself as the center, at the same time sending out layer after layer of heat waves and warm currents to dispel the cold and strange phenomena here.
The breath around her continued to freeze, untouched by the heat radiated by Suzaku. Upon closer inspection, she looked like a puppet, her limbs dangling in the air, held together by the icy wings on her back.
Zhuque was about to seal the person in front of him, but his figure flashed and disappeared into the air.
Ai Yu couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on one knee, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She narrowed her eyes, observing 000's every move in mid-air, seizing the moment to adjust herself. "Zhang Ji, Qin Yueren, enter the battle formation."
As soon as he read out these two names, Ai Yu felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was supported by the two and managed to stand up.
The 000 in the sky seemed to have endless power. At this moment, with another clap of his hands, a nearly ten-meter-long ice spear silently condensed above Ai Yu. She spread her palms apart, thumbs touching to form a triangle, and a flash of blue flashed in her eyes: "Kill."
The three people on the ground suddenly looked up. Ai Yu estimated his current position. If he escaped alone, an attack like 000 would create a pit of at least ten meters. Li Yuzhen, who didn't have time to move, would die.
"My lord, what are you still thinking about? Run." Qin Yueren and Zhang Ji understood each other and pulled Ai Yu to run.
Ai Yu stood there motionless: "I can't leave."
She still had energy in her body, but her movements were restricted due to the cold.
She still remembered the first time she felt Sariel, her body spontaneously uttered that line, which, to a normal person, would have seemed overly childish. She didn't care; after all, summoners were inherently childish.
Ai Yu folded his hands, placed them on his chest, closed his eyes and lowered his head.
"Heroic spirits of the past, if you hear my request, please appear and lend me a hand."
000's body suddenly trembled, he blinked, and looked at the ant on the ground.
Between heaven and earth, everything became quiet. There was no whistling cold wind, no singing of animals or birds.
000 Somehow, he fell from the air. Although his body was not injured, his legs were controlled by a strange force and he knelt on the ground.
Behind Ai Yu, a tall man in a dark yellow dragon robe slowly walked out. He placed his left hand on Ai Yu's shoulder and held a four-inch square seal with five dragons on the top in his right hand.
Ying Zheng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it carried a sense of awe and majesty: "I have received the mandate from Heaven, and I wish you a long and prosperous life."
Zhang Ji and Qin Yueren knelt obediently on the ground and paid homage to the Human Emperor.
The ice spear above her head shattered and disappeared. Ai Yu felt her body was now filled with strength, and even the wounds she had just suffered were healed. She looked at Ying Zheng in surprise: "Zulong, you..."
Is there this function?
Moreover, she never expected that in such a scene, the one who responded to the call was Ying Zheng!
Ying Zheng held up the seal and glanced at Ai Yu: "I, can't come?"
Ai Yu's eyes fell on the seal in Ying Zheng's hand, and he roughly understood the current situation.
The Imperial Seal was a token of the successive orthodox emperors of the Xia Kingdom. Its imperial aura could not be compromised. In a sense, it was a defensive artifact, and now, this powerful defensive artifact was in the possession of the most powerful Ancestral Dragon.
So at this moment, Ai Yu's body was wrapped in the imperial aura and could not be hurt.
"Yes, yes." Ai Yu nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Zulong, for saving my life."
Ying Zheng didn't mind it much: "As long as he's not dead, that's fine."
He came and went quickly, but a bit of the imperial aura remained in Ai Yu. Ai Yu accepted Bian Que and Zhang Zhongjing, stretched his limbs slightly, and looked at 000 who was kneeling not far away.
000 felt that the force pressing on him had weakened a lot. He looked up in surprise, not understanding what had just happened. His empty eyes stared blankly at Ai Yu.
Ai Yu ignored 000, went to the stairs according to his memory and ran down.
000 lowered his eyes and looked at his hands. His body became weak and he fainted.
Wei Xiaoran, who had watched the battle from hiding somewhere, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This...they...they practiced cultivation without telling me?"
It was so scary, so scary. Fortunately, I listened to Ai Yu and ran away quickly, otherwise I would be dead now.
Ai Yu violently opened the door of the sealed room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Yuzhen in the freezer.
She opened the freezer, pulled out the things on Li Yuzhen's body, felt Li Yuzhen's pulse, rubbed her face against Li Yuzhen's face, and burst into tears uncontrollably.
Tears dripped onto Li Yuzhen's face, and Li Yuzhen frowned slightly.
Ai Yu quickly wiped the tears from Li Yuzhen's face and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Yuzhen hadn't woken up. Her fingers caressed Li Yuzhen's facial features, imprinting every detail of it firmly in her mind.
"Teacher Li, I'm here to take you home."
