Ling Ye was still very hesitant: "But Brother Li, we..."
Li Xiuchen shook his head and said with a look of sorrow, "Since you brothers don't want to go in, please excuse me. I still want to go inside to find more opportunities and more Cold Jade Liquid. Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiuchen walked away, regardless of the wandering cultivators behind him.
Seeing that Li Xiuchen had gone further inside, the independent cultivators led by Ling Ye looked at each other and were unable to make a choice for a moment.
Some independent cultivators suggested leaving, but Ling Ye frowned in embarrassment. Finally, he sighed and said, "Let's hurry up and follow them. Brother Li, it's better for us to be in there together than to be alone. There's strength in numbers. If things really don't work out, we can still escape, right?"
A quarter of an hour later, these words made Ling Ye regret deeply.
A towering, burly white beast stood before them, its lion-like head dotted with five eyes. Each blink unleashed a torrent of icy air. Its gentle breaths instantly condensed white ice on the ground; its roars scorched the entire mountainside with icy flakes.
"Five...Five-star ice beast!"
"Run! This is a five-star ice beast!"
"It's equivalent to a five-star ice beast at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. This is a five-star ice beast!"
Eight people frantically fled toward the cave entrance. Li Xiuchen, the first to enter, flicked his right hand, and a beam of white light flew into his storage ring. Ling Ye and the others didn't see this, but Luo Jianqing saw it and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Streams of icy liquid, tinged with an aura of extreme cold, spurted out, splashing onto the mountain wall and freezing the rocks. Li Xiuchen and the others struggled to escape, but the ice beast's hooves stomped the ground, and with a loud "bang," it blocked their path, roaring angrily at them.
The ice beast wasn't a demonic beast in the truest sense; even at the Tribulation Crossing stage, it couldn't speak. It could only stare at Li Xiuchen in the crowd with hatred, its nostrils emitting streams of cold white air, as if it were raging with rage and poised to attack in the next second.
Ling Ye was trembling all over, and those wandering cultivators were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Among the crowd, only Li Xiuchen seemed frightened, but his eyes were filled with anticipation. He hid among the seven wandering cultivators, trapped in the center of the crowd, his sword raised, but he showed no intention of attacking.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The five-star ice beast roared several times, but no one could understand what it was saying.
Among the wandering cultivators, Ling Ye gritted his teeth and raised his long sword. He suddenly pushed off the ground with his toes and shot out like a meteor. Following him, three more wandering cultivators also flew out, forming a square with Ling Ye.
Spiritual power circulated rapidly in the bodies of the four people, and a complicated formation suddenly appeared!
The four corners of the formation were precisely where these four men were. They all flew around the ice beast. Ling Ye yelled, then suddenly slashed at his left hand, drawing blood. The other three followed suit, slashing themselves, causing streams of blood to flow from their wrists.
The blood gathered towards the center along the lines of the formation. When it reached the very center, a dazzling red light suddenly lit up.
Rumble!
Luo Jianqing watched this scene from afar, only to see a massive Fire Qilin suddenly appear. Its body was made of blood, and in the center of its chest was a bright red gem, gleaming with dazzling brilliance.
"go!"
The Fire Kirin roared and madly charged towards the ice beast.
Just as the two beasts collided, the other three cultivators, along with Li Xiuchen, fled. One of them said, "This is a formation the seven of us acquired ten years ago, called the Skyfire Kirin Formation. Brother Li, let's run! This Fire Kirin is only at the Fusion Stage, and is no match for this five-star ice beast."
As Li Xiuchen ran, he asked curiously, "How could they gather a Fire Qilin of Fusion Stage cultivation with just the power of four Jindan Stage cultivators?"
The other person replied without hesitation, "That's because of the flint in the Fire Qilin's chest. That stone is the key to this Sky Fire Qilin Formation. There's no time to talk about it. That Qilin can't hold out for much longer. Let's hurry...ah!"
“Third brother!!!”
A ball of icy white liquid struck the man from behind, splashing only his arm, instantly transforming it into a block of ice. Seeing the ice threatening to spread to his body, the man, without a word, raised his knife and chopped off his arm. It fell to the ground, shattering into tiny shards of ice.
“Run!”
A massive ice beast chased Li Xiuchen and his three companions. Behind it was a middle-aged man who had lost his left leg and right arm. The man desperately tried to fly away, shouting "Run!" as he flew. However, the ice beast in front of him didn't even spare him a glance, relentlessly pursuing Li Xiuchen and his three companions.
"Ice beasts never like to stray far from their bases. Why is this five-star ice beast chasing us?"
"Is it crazy? Why is it chasing us?!"
At that moment, the ice beast suddenly spewed icy liquid, nearly dousing the "Third Brother"'s body. Li Xiuchen, who was closest to the Third Brother, actually stepped aside, not even attempting to intervene. In his haste, the others failed to notice his actions.
Just as the ice liquid was about to envelop the third brother's body, at that very moment, thousands of blue sword lights suddenly shot through, striking the ice beast, causing it to howl in pain.
