Chapter 866: Chapter 864: Bloodline Suppression
Xiang Tian’s expression changed, and he immediately prepared to go deeper in.
Beside him, Luo Xue hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother Wang warned us over and over again to stay here properly. We absolutely can’t act recklessly."
"Besides, we still don’t know what’s going on inside. If we rush in, we’ll definitely cause some trouble for Brother Wang."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Tian finally nodded.
But his worry was still written all over his face.
Time passed second by second.
The two of them were like ants on a hot pan.
At the same time.
Wang Zhan and Xuan Bing were staring at the enormous Ice Divine Beast in front of them.
The Ice Divine Beast kept launching attacks at the two of them.
With every attack, even Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
It was terrifying to the extreme.
Wang Zhan retreated several steps. He quickly raised the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand and shouted angrily, "Fatal One Slash!"
Blades of saber light instantly shot toward the Ice Divine Beast.
However, under Wang Zhan’s attack, there wasn’t the slightest trace of injury on the Ice Divine Beast’s body.
"Scraping therapy?"
At this moment, Wang Zhan finally understood why Xuan Bing had mentioned that the Lord Domain Master had once come here, yet in the end merely reached an agreement with the Ice Divine Beast and did not fight it to the death...
Looking at it now, it was clearly because of the Ice Divine Beast’s strength. Even the Lord Domain Master was wary of it.
At the side, Xuan Bing kept retreating. Clearly, he was much more heavily injured than Wang Zhan.
After spurting out a mouthful of blood, Xuan Bing gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Wang, it seems the two of us can’t subdue this big guy. Why don’t we get out of here early, so we don’t bring a blood calamity down on ourselves? What do you think?"
After all, no one wants to gamble with their own life.
Moreover, in the Ice Divine Beast’s fury, it might very well destroy the Eight Directions Mysterious Ice Tower.
By then, it wouldn’t just be as simple as destroying one Eight Directions Mysterious Ice Tower; even the entire Profound Ice Pavilion would be thrown into chaos.
Xuan Bing absolutely could not bear such consequences.
It was just that Wang Zhan still hadn’t responded to him.
Xuan Bing frowned slightly, then glanced at Wang Zhan and gritted his teeth as he said, "I know you’re very competitive, but not being able to beat the Ice Divine Beast isn’t shameful. After all, even the Lord Domain Master, who’s already at the Star System level, isn’t a match for the Ice Divine Beast, let alone us."
Wang Zhan clenched his fist. He looked at the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand, then began communicating with the Sword Spirit.
"Well? Are we leaving or not?"
After all, the Sword Spirit very much wanted to obtain the Ice Divine Beast’s Demon Core; only then could it recover as quickly as possible.
But Wang Zhan couldn’t help worrying. If he died here, that would really be a losing bargain.
The Sword Spirit hesitated for a moment. He bit his teeth, looked at the Ice Divine Beast in the distance, then spoke with determination: "You and I both underestimated this big guy. Since that’s the case, we shouldn’t keep wasting time. It’s better to leave here first."
Wang Zhan nodded.
Seeing that Wang Zhan had already made up his mind, Xuan Bing immediately prepared to head toward the distance.
But the next second, he saw Wang Zhan suddenly stop in his tracks.
Xuan Bing turned back and saw that the Ice Divine Beast had already appeared in front of Wang Zhan, blocking his path.
Clearly, the Ice Divine Beast had no intention of letting Wang Zhan leave.
This time, they had poked a hornet’s nest.
At the side, Xuan Bing frowned and said, "I didn’t expect this damned bastard to insist on fighting us to the death."
"You go first..."
Wang Zhan glanced at Xuan Bing out of the corner of his eye and said, "Its target is me. It won’t make things difficult for you. There’s no need for you to stay here and die with me. Hurry and get out of here."
"But remember to take my two friends out of the Eight Directions Mysterious Ice Tower with you. Otherwise, even as a ghost I won’t let you off."
Xuan Bing let out two bitter laughs. Of course he knew Wang Zhan was joking.
But when he thought about their situation, he frowned slightly, then said resolutely, "Last time, when we ran into Huo Yuan, you told me to hurry and look for reinforcements while you went one-on-one with Huo Yuan. This time, I absolutely won’t leave you behind again."
"If you don’t have any other trump cards, then we’ll fight it to the end. Even if we die here, so be it."
Heh... freeweɓnøvel.com
A grim smile tugged at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth.
If not for the Sword Spirit, how could he possibly have escaped Huo Yuan’s pursuit?
But times had changed. Now the Sword Spirit was internally injured and not even at one-tenth of his peak strength. Relying solely on the strength of two Stellar-level experts like Wang Zhan and Xuan Bing, how could they possibly contend with the Ice Divine Beast?
So staying here would only add to the body count.
As they spoke, Xuan Bing had already charged at the Ice Divine Beast ahead of Wang Zhan.
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Bing landed on the Ice Divine Beast’s head. He immediately raised his hand, and an icicle appeared in his palm, which he then drove fiercely down toward the top of the Ice Divine Beast’s head!
In just an instant, the Ice Divine Beast let out a hideous roar of rage.
At the same time, a surge of powerful energy slammed directly into Xuan Bing’s chest.
Before Xuan Bing could react, his whole body was sent flying backward and slammed heavily onto the ground.
His face turned as dark as it could possibly get.
The ice spike in his hand had already shattered into countless glittering ice crystals.
Beside him, the Sword Spirit narrowed her eyes slightly. She raised her hand, and those scattered ice crystals shot toward her body at high speed, attaching themselves to her.
In the blink of an eye, all those ice crystals were completely absorbed by the Sword Spirit.
Only then did Wang Zhan remember that, as a Soul Body nurtured by the Great Void Divine Sword, the Sword Spirit could use Genius Earth Treasures to restore her own mental energy.
As soon as he thought of this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth. He hurriedly looked at the Sword Spirit and quickly asked, "Well? Have you recovered a bit?"
If the Sword Spirit could activate the sword formation again, then they would have time to escape from here.
Even if they couldn’t kill this Ice Divine Beast, they wouldn’t have to worry so much anymore.
The Sword Spirit’s expression was ugly. She frowned slightly. "If I could absorb the Fire Deity Axe in Huo Yuan’s hand, I might be able to restore a large amount of mental energy, but with just this one weapon, it’s not enough..."
Wang Zhan’s face instantly turned ashen; the final chance slipped away without a sound.
Xuan Bing’s attack had already driven the Ice Divine Beast into a berserk state.
Not only had its speed increased, its strength was also skyrocketing.
In an instant, the Ice Divine Beast had already charged up to Wang Zhan.
It raised its claw and slammed straight toward Wang Zhan’s chest!
Wang Zhan hastily raised the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand to block in front of his chest.
As the Ice Divine Beast’s claw landed on the Great Void Divine Sword, a muffled boom rang in his ears, and the next moment Wang Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood.
If this dragged on, they would both end up badly hurt at best.
Wang Zhan clenched his teeth so hard they were nearly crushed. He shot the Ice Divine Beast a cold glance and said, "You bastard, since you won’t let me have it easy, then I sure as hell won’t let you live in peace!"
As he spoke, Wang Zhan shot straight into the sky.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation!"
In the sky, fiery dragons appeared one after another, circling tightly around Wang Zhan’s body.
The next second, those Fire Dragons crashed down beside the Ice Divine Beast.
At the same time, they formed a massive cage.
However, with a furious roar from the Ice Divine Beast, those Fire Dragons exploded one after another.
At the same instant, a wave of energy ripples surged outward!
Before Wang Zhan could react, he was hit by the aftershock; the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand was knocked flying as well.
The Sword Spirit hurriedly looked toward him and asked with concern, "Can you still hold on?"
Wang Zhan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pulled out a few elixirs from his robe, stuffed them directly into his mouth, and said through gritted teeth, "This big guy is still a bit troublesome, but I can drag it out with him for a while longer. Don’t worry, I won’t die just yet."
Behind him, Xuan Bing had already walked up to Wang Zhan’s side.
He stared coldly at the Ice Divine Beast in front of them.
"I didn’t expect that after we met, we’d go through so many life-and-death battles together. But this time, it seems there’s no such luck. I’m afraid both of us are going to be buried here..."
A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Xuan Bing’s lips.
He had imagined many times where he would die, but he had never thought his end would look like this.
Thinking of this, Xuan Bing shook his head.
"But before I die, being able to fight shoulder to shoulder with a brother like you is already enough."
Wang Zhan shrugged with a smile. "We haven’t fought it out to the very last moment yet. Who knows who’ll live and who’ll die? Why rush to pass sentence on ourselves?"
Xuan Bing said nothing.
But wasn’t the outcome already obvious?
The Ice Divine Beast at the side didn’t waste any more time; like a mad beast, it once again charged straight at the two of them.
Before Wang Zhan and Xuan Bing could react, its massive claw had already smashed into their chests.
The next second, the two of them were sent flying again.
They were being crushed one-sidedly.
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the first time he had felt that death was so close to him...
Seeing the Ice Divine Beast pounce at them again—
Wang Zhan suddenly felt a strange stirring in his chest; the next instant, the Fire Qilin burst out with a thunderous roar.
The moment the Fire Qilin appeared, the Ice Divine Beast actually staggered back several steps.
Its eyes were full of wariness.
"This big guy seems really afraid of the Fire Qilin?"
Wang Zhan glanced at the Sword Spirit beside him and said, "Could this be bloodline suppression?"
"Yes!"
The Sword Spirit nodded heavily, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth as she said, "I actually forgot."
"The Fire Qilin naturally suppresses the Ice Divine Beast!"
