Ji Lie was filled with rage. As a Golden Core Peak cultivator, he was a well-known figure among his generation of disciples in the Ten Continents. How could he allow himself to be humiliated like this!
She'd been toying with him for so long, and now she wanted to just end it all? He couldn't let her have her way!
Just as Shi Xuan was about to deliver the final blow, Ji Lie suddenly retaliated. At that moment, he recklessly took out the ultimate magic weapon given to him by his master, a Dao talisman.
This talisman was obtained by his master in a high-level secret realm. Even for his master, who was at the Void Refining stage, it was an extremely important magic weapon, let alone for Golden Core stage cultivators like them.
When he exerted all his strength to activate the talisman, Shi Xuan had already sensed it. She hurriedly tried to retreat, but the talisman had already been activated, and a huge pressure spread out, which even trapped Shi Xuan for a moment.
In just that short time, the talisman exploded.
The deafening roar shocked the team members who were far away, who never expected the two captains to fight for so long.
The previously confident members of the best team began to show signs of worry. Could it be that this opponent possessed some extraordinary ability? Was he really that difficult to deal with?
The moment the talisman exploded, Shi Xuan only had time to raise her defensive shield, but her shield was no match for the talisman, which was made by a powerful being at least at the Integration Stage, even though it was the strongest defensive magic weapon her master had given her.
After a wave of impact, the defensive shield shattered, and the remaining attacks all struck Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan then coughed up blood and fell into a coma amidst the loud explosion.
Ji Lie on the other side wasn't much better off than Shi Xuan. He was blasted a long way by the powerful residual force of the talisman and crashed heavily to the ground, unconscious.
The force of the explosion was so great that a large hole was blasted through the thick ice in the area where Shi Xuan was located, swallowing the unconscious Shi Xuan inside.
It was only then that the other teammates from the two squads in the distance suddenly realized something was wrong.
The explosion was so loud it was deafening. Even from a distance, they could clearly feel the aftershocks emanating from the center, let alone the two people directly at the epicenter.
The team members exchanged glances, each seeing uncertainty in the other's eyes.
They rushed forward in unison, quickly arriving at the center of the fight between the two.
The scene that came into view made everyone gasp. Centered on a point on the ice, the area extending outwards was a complete mess. Thick trees were snapped in half, and flames still burned in some places. The once snow-white ice was now a gray-black mess, and Ji Lie, one of the main characters in the fight, lay motionless on the ground not far away, his life hanging in the balance.
The members of the Crimson Flame Team hurriedly approached to check on Ji Lie's condition.
Meanwhile, the members of the best squad were searching everywhere for their captain.
No, not anywhere. Not in any place that could be affected. Not even a trace, let alone a person.
"Where is the captain?" Shen Wuyang asked in confusion. "I tried using a communication talisman but there was no response."
Unable to find anyone, I wanted to ask Ji Lie, who was still lying on the ground, his fate unknown.
“It can’t be…” Sun Shaoxing looked at a large hole in the center of the frozen lake, where it was beginning to refreeze again.
"I'll go down and take a look first," Zhang Ying said, and jumped into the ice cave before anyone could even voice their objections.
"Don't worry," Sun Shaoxing comforted her, seeing that things had come to this point, "She has an ice spirit root, she'll be fine."
Only then did everyone realize this.
"Don't let the ice freeze over again." Sun Shaoxing and his team maintained the condition of the ice cave entrance.
About fifteen minutes later, Zhang Yingxin finally surfaced from the ice cave.
"How is it?" the team members asked anxiously.
Zhang Yingxin shook her head. "I'll try again." After saying that, she went back into the water.
Seeing this, Sun Shaoxing rearranged the team members, with half of them going back to search the surrounding area and the other half staying in place to guard the cave entrance.
As Shi Xuan sank deeper and deeper into the ice cave, she was completely unaware of her predicament and unable to feel the increasingly biting cold.
If Shi Xuan were awake, he would definitely be able to feel that the deeper he went into the frozen lake, the more intense the cold became, and the cold was abnormally strong, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
At this moment, her internal organs were damaged, and she had lost all consciousness, but her instincts remained.
As if sensing its master's situation, all things began to move quickly and spontaneously.
This icy lake is filled with pure ice spiritual energy, and nothing else.
All things had no choice but to frantically absorb the ice spiritual power, which was then transformed within Shi Xuan's body into her own spiritual power, and then used to repair her body.
The ice elemental power naturally carries a chill, and when it surged into his meridians in large quantities, even though Shi Xuan was unaware of it, he was still startled and shivered.
His body was still sinking, being carried by a vortex into unknown depths. If he were a conscious person, he would surely fight back, but Shi Xuan was unconscious at the moment and was caught in the vortex without any struggle.
The vortex flashed by, took away Shi Xuan, and then calmed down, as if nothing had happened.
At the deepest part of the frozen lake, in the dark and deep bottom, there is a place of a different color, shimmering with a pale blue glow in the darkness.
At this moment, Shi Xuan lay in that glowing light, as if he were asleep.
However, if one carefully perceives it with one's divine sense, one can discover that the glowing mass is actually the solidified form of ice spiritual power!
At this moment, Shi Xuan was penetrated by such a dense ice spiritual power.
If this were just an ordinary cultivator, being penetrated by such spiritual power would probably have caused them to explode and die long ago. But Shi Xuan, thanks to the blessing of all things, has meridians that are already thicker than others. After being repeatedly tempered and refined by several tribulations, she has undergone a complete transformation, and can withstand dozens of times the pressure of cultivators of the same level without any problem.
Even so, surrounded by such a thick layer of spiritual energy, Shi Xuan's meridians were still stretched to their limit.
The amount of icy spiritual energy that rushed into his body was far too much. If the cycle of all things were a wheel, it would probably have already produced sparks by now, but it was still far from enough.
The icy spiritual energy permeated everything, surrounding Shi Xuan in the very center. At first, the myriad things could absorb the energy closest to the skin, but after a while, when Shi Xuan's spiritual energy became excessive, it began to penetrate from the skin into his body, eventually spreading to every part of Shi Xuan's body.
The meridians, dantian, spiritual palace, and even the spiritual root were all occupied by the ice spiritual power.
Other elemental spiritual powers were not to be outdone, and engaged in a silent confrontation with the ice spiritual power.
