Seeing that there was still no movement coming from within the giant iron chain net, Wu Xin sneered.
It looks like it's completely dead!
Just as he was about to retract the poisoned blade chains, a surge of power suddenly emanated from the giant net.
The giant net, which had already contracted, began to expand outwards.
With a loud "bang," the giant net ripped open from the inside, and the iron chains were broken into pieces by the force, scattering in all directions.
Wu Xin flicked his sleeve, deflecting the flying fragments.
He looked up in disbelief. The giant net had been broken, and Ruan Xiyan was still standing there unharmed, her eyes full of a provocative smile.
"You're not dead!" Wu Xin exclaimed in shock.
Ruan Xiyan brushed away the frost covering her body and replied calmly, "You old thing, you're not dead yet, so how could I be?"
His attack was indeed quite interesting.
If she hadn't possessed the ultimate ice, she could have frozen her entire body in time.
Otherwise, they would be infected by the toxins on the chain or strangled by the poisoned blades on the chain.
"Don't think that just because you've escaped one attack, you can really defeat this city lord." Wu Xin gathered poison in his hand again. "If one attack fails, then let's try another."
Ruan Xiyan's lips curled into a smile, "Unfortunately, you no longer have the chance."
Before Wu Xin could understand what Ruan Xiyan meant, several dark vines suddenly rose from the ground.
The vines suddenly wrapped around his legs, causing him to stumble.
"Where did this weird thing come from?!"
Wu Xin steadied himself and unleashed his power, severing the vines that were wrapped around his legs.
The broken vines fell to the ground, and new vines grew and wrapped around him.
Moreover, the moment he was entangled by these black vines, he felt as if something was pulling inside his body, and his expression became momentarily dazed.
He shook his head, trying to concentrate.
The next moment, Ruan Xiyan appeared in front of him without his noticing, only a step away.
Wu Xin was startled and was about to make a move.
But Ruan Xiyan beat him to it; a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and a force pierced through his body.
Wu Xin fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
There was a bloody hole in his chest.
Wu Xin quickly mobilized the power within his body to suppress the blood that kept flowing from the wound.
Those who reach the Creation Realm have cultivated their physical strength to a very high level and possess considerable self-healing abilities.
Unless it is a fatal injury, the wound can be slowly healed by relying on powerful spiritual energy.
However, even after Wu Xin covered the wound with spiritual energy, the wound showed no signs of healing for a long time.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a layer of extremely cold frost covering the wound.
The icy force not only prevented the wound from healing, but also caused the injury to spread and worsen.
He could also feel the chill seeping into his body through his wound.
Once this chill penetrates his body, not only will his injuries worsen, but he will also suffer serious harm.
"What exactly did you do!" Wu Xin's face grew increasingly gloomy and terrifying.
"You can't take it already? It's not over yet." Ruan Xiyan curled her red lips and lightly pointed her finger in his direction. "Explode!"
The frost clinging to Wu Xin's wound gathered together and eventually formed a frost flower.
Before I could even admire this delicate, small, and beautiful frost flower, it had already burst open.
"Pfft! Whoa—"
The force exploded on his body, and Wu Xin screamed as he was blasted several meters away, lying on the ground half-dead.
His wounds were covered in blood and flesh, a gruesome sight, and his face was as pale as paper.
It is clear that the injury has reached the point of being serious.
"Yay! We won! Sister Yan is awesome!" Yu Qiqi cheered.
She glared at Wu Xin, who was lying on the ground barely alive, and said, "You old bastard, you deserved it for daring to arrest Wanwan!"
The battle was over, but Ruan Xiyan did not let her guard down. "After watching for so long, it's time to come out."
During her fight with Wu Xin, she vaguely sensed that there were other hidden presences around her.
They hid in the shadows, unsure whether they were friend or foe.
She had been worried that they would help Wu Xin, but thankfully they didn't get involved in the end.
"There are other people!" Lin Muze exclaimed in surprise, quickly looking around.
A round of applause suddenly rang out in the courtyard, "Brilliant, truly brilliant! To witness such a spectacular battle!"
"The girl's talent is extraordinary; I have never seen anything like it in my life."
Upon seeing the two people who appeared out of nowhere, Luo Wanyin and the others immediately became wary again.
Wu Xin, who was lying on the ground, saw Yao Tianshang approaching, struggled to get up, and said in a hoarse voice, "Second Prince, save me!"
“Jinrong City belongs to the Holy Martial Dynasty, yet they have injured the city lord of Jinrong City so badly. Where does this leave the face of the Holy Martial Dynasty?”
Hearing Wu Xin's words, Lin Muze frowned, "Sister Yan, are they in cahoots?"
Just when everyone thought the battle was over, Wu Xin had reinforcements.
And judging from his words, this person must be an important figure who has come to Jinrong City.
Yao Tianshang glanced at Wu Xin casually, then kicked him in the face, knocking him down again as he got up.
"You've really put a big hat on yourself. Don't you know what you've done? And now you still have the nerve to come and beg me?"
Yao Tianshang looked at Ruan Xiyan and the others, and waved his hand to explain, "Don't be nervous, everyone. We are not enemies and have no ill intentions."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yao Tianshang, and I am the second prince of the Holy Martial Dynasty. I have come to Jinrong City specifically to investigate the continuous disappearance of martial artists."
"Now that the culprit has been caught, I must thank you for your help, young lady."
Lin Muzhe looked at Yao Tianshang in surprise; he was actually a prince of the Holy Martial Dynasty.
Wu Xin must have quite a bit of influence, to be able to get a prince to step in and clean up his mess.
Upon hearing what Yao Tianshang said, Wu Xin's face turned even paler. "You already knew. These past few days, you've been staying at my city lord's mansion, feeding the fish and playing with the birds—it was all an act to deceive me."
Yao Tianshang smiled and nodded, "Yes, otherwise how would we have lured out this old fox like you?"
"His Highness the Second Prince has quite the scheme, hiding in the shadows to watch the show and reap the benefits," Ruan Xiyan scoffed. "He'll only show himself after we've finished dealing with this."
Hearing Ruan Xiyan so bluntly expose him, Yao Tianshang coughed awkwardly, touched the tip of his nose, and chuckled.
"Young lady, you are too kind. It is the duty of cultivators to rid the people of this scourge. I must thank you again for removing this malignant tumor from my Holy Martial Dynasty."
Yao Tianshang cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, but Ruan Xiyan remained indifferent, not particularly appreciative of his words.
Yao Tianshang changed the subject, saying, "I still don't know how to address you, young lady."
Ruan Xiyan did not answer, her gaze falling on the people who came with Yao Tianshang.
Yao Tianshang realized what was happening and said, "This is Wu Xie, my good friend."
