Taking advantage of this opportunity, the third brother quickly ran some distance.
Li Xiuchen watched the scene in astonishment as a handsome, elegant male cultivator in green slowly emerged from behind the cliff and calmly approached the five-star ice beast. He wore a silver-white mask, revealing only a pair of clear eyes and a pointed jaw.
When the male cultivator appeared, the ice beast did not attack, but stared at him vigilantly.
The male cultivator walked all the way to the front of the ice beast, looked up at it slightly, and asked with a curl of his lips, "Since they have already left your territory, why are you still chasing them?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Ye and the others who had narrowly escaped death also quickly looked towards the ice beast. They were also very curious about this. As everyone knows, the ice beasts in the Cold Light Cave are mostly gentle and will not attack unless you enter their territory. Of course, the vast majority of the Cold Light Jade Liquid is within the ice beast's territory, their treasure. Therefore, humans have no choice but to invade their territory and fight against them.
The ice beast stared at the green-robed monk with its big copper-bell-like eyes.
Seeing this, the green-robed monk raised an ordinary black iron sword and flicked his wrist. With a rumble, a huge rock was reduced to dust. Watching this scene, all the monks held their breath, and the ice beast retreated even further.
After a moment, the ice beast began to roar: "Roar! Roar!"
The green-robed monk listened patiently. When he finished, he turned to look at Ling Ye and said, "Did you steal its Cold Jade Liquid?"
Ling Ye's eyes widened immediately. "How is this possible? Senior, please be kind. We had just entered the cave when this five-star ice beast attacked us. I didn't even see any Cold Jade Liquid in the cave, so how could it have been taken?"
The other casual cultivators all spoke in agreement.
When it was Li Xiuchen's turn, he said without hesitation, "I haven't seen any Cold Jade Liquid either."
As soon as these words fell, the ice beast roared furiously and sprayed a stream of icy liquid at Li Xiuchen. This time, the blue-robed monk did not make a move to stop him, but Li Xiuchen's reaction was so quick that the five-star ice beast missed the target. The icy liquid only grazed Li Xiuchen's hair, not even touching his skin.
Seeing this, Ling Ye and the others were all stunned, but the green-robed monk laughed out loud: "You took it?"
Li Xiuchen had been hastily dealing with the ice beast's attack, leaving him no time to conceal his emotions. A flicker of nervousness crossed his face as he listened to the green-robed monk's words, but it only took a moment for Ling Ye and the others to shout angrily, "Brother Li! We've treated you well, even at a time like this, and we've tried to let you escape first. If you truly took the five-star ice beast's Cold Jade Liquid, return it immediately. We can't afford to offend it!"
Li Xiuchen said firmly, "I didn't take any Cold Jade Liquid at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the five-star ice beast angrily sprayed out a mouthful of ice liquid, which was barely avoided by Li Xiuchen.
"Li Xiuchen!" Ling Ye and the others had already lost all their friendly demeanor. They even picked up their swords and glared at the unharmed Li Xiuchen as if he were their enemy. They said, "If you don't hand over the Cold Jade Liquid, don't blame us brothers for being ruthless!"
Li Xiuchen's eyes turned when he heard that, and before anyone could react, he turned around and ran!
However, would Luo Jianqing, who had been waiting on the side, let him escape like this?
Ling Ye watched as the blue-robed senior raised his finger and slowly tapped it in the air. A precious orb quickly flew in front of Li Xiuchen, blocking his path. A bright light flashed from the orb, and in an instant, a pale barrier formed, trapping Li Xiuchen. He was momentarily stunned.
Li Xiuchen tried hard to escape, but the barrier trapped him motionlessly.
Seeing this, the five-star ice beast suddenly quieted down, lazily raised its claws, and began to walk towards Li Xiuchen. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Luo Jianqing suddenly struck Ling Ye and the other seven with a single sword strike. The moment the five-star ice beast turned, the Frost Floating Sword flew out from between its brows, a cyan sword light radiating, and an overwhelming sword shadow slashed straight at the ice beast.
“Ouch!”
"ah!"
Two screams rang out at the same time.
The first one was a five-star ice beast that was attacked by surprise. A bloody hole was opened on its chest by the sword energy, and countless cold air quickly overflowed from the bloody hole; the second scream was from Li Xiuchen. The gem in front of him suddenly burst into a bright light. Before Li Xiuchen was ready, he was knocked unconscious by the light of the gem.
With no one in the way, Luo Jianqing finally raised his hand to take off the mask and looked up at the furious ice beast in front of him.
Ice beasts weren't known for their combat prowess, so the five-star beast was somewhat wary of him and had already given up on hunting down Li Xiuchen. However, Luo Jianqing couldn't let this happen. He hadn't come here to rescue those stranger cultivators from the ice beasts, nor had he come here solely to suppress Li Xiuchen and expose his true colors.
He came for the Ten Thousand Year Old Cold Jade Liquid!
"roar!"
Luo Jiansong caught the Frost Floating Sword with one hand, held the sword behind his back, raised his head slightly, and looked at the giant beast in front of him.
The next moment, the two collided, making a loud noise.
As a naturally occurring ice beast within the Cold Light Cave, this five-star ice beast's only means of attack was its ice liquid. However, its claws were incredibly sharp, and its hide felt like millennia-old black iron. A piercing blow from the Frost Floating Sword left only a faint white mark. Its ice liquid was even more terrifying; simply spitting it from its mouth could freeze the air. Luo Jianqing narrowly avoided it several times, but a splash of ice liquid still lingered on his cheek.
Luo Jianqing raised his sword and cut off a small piece of skin on his face.
