Unless there is a definite reason.
Like the three from Tiger Island before him, and Liu Ruoping.
Shen Xuan slowly swept his gaze over the four of them.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
This trip out to sea was indeed going to make him rich.
Four Core Formation Realm True Masters of Water Technique, and one of them was even in the Late Stage of True Pill.
Their wealth, their True Pills, and even their bodies were all extremely valuable.
All of these were already things in Shen Xuan’s pocket.
"Since you don’t want to talk, then you don’t need to talk ever again!"
In truth, even if they didn’t speak.
Shen Xuan already knew this was definitely on the Yueyun Sect’s orders.
On the Feiyun Ship, inside the elegant hall, the atmosphere changed abruptly!
Shen Xuan’s aura exploded around him.
A terrifying Spiritual Pressure of bone-piercing cold, enough to freeze a thousand miles, instantly spread out.
On the deck, a thick layer of white frost covered everything in an instant.
"Not good, this man is a True Master of Ice Technique!"
Situ Zhong’s expression changed drastically as he cried out in shock.
As someone in the Late Stage of True Pill, his sense for Qi was the keenest.
Such refined icy cold Qi could never belong to an ordinary True Master of Water Technique.
His eyes flickered; he was still hesitating.
Whether he should give up the mission then and there and flee with his Escape Light.
After all, four against one, their numerical advantage was obvious.
Right in that split second.
"Zheng!"
A clear sword cry rang out, like a dragon’s roar echoing through the heavens.
Shen Xuan opened his mouth and spat out; the crystalline Ice Soul Divine Sword shot forth.
Sensing the razor-sharp edge of the Ice Soul Divine Sword, Situ Zhong no longer hesitated.
"He’s an Ice Technique Golden Core! Split up!"
Situ Zhong roared in fury; his figure turned into a blood-colored Escape Light, fleeing in panic.
Sun Jiangjing and Zhang Zeyun were veterans of many battles; their reactions were extremely fast. One left, one right, turning into two Escape Lights, one green and one yellow, fleeing in different directions.
Their speed was pushed to the limit. freёwebnovel.com
Liu Ruoping’s face went deathly pale; he froze in place for a moment.
He was the master of the Feiyun Ship.
This was the work of his entire life, the foundation by which he made a living. How could he just abandon it?
"You want to leave now? Too late."
Shen Xuan snorted coldly, his face as icy as frost.
He joined two fingers like a sword and pointed forward.
"Roar!"
The Ice Soul Divine Sword burst into dazzling light, instantly turning into a Profound Ice Divine Dragon, baring fangs and brandishing claws, carrying a terrifying aura that could freeze all things as it shot out, overtaking and crashing down on the fastest fleeing Situ Zhong.
At the same time, Shen Xuan’s left hand lifted slightly, and a treasure seal wreathed in purple light appeared out of thin air.
On the surface of the Purple Gold True Water Seal, nine Profound Ice Divine Dragons simultaneously opened their dragon eyes and their jaws.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Nine condensed Profound Ice Flying Swords split into three directions, covering Sun Jiangjing, Zhang Zeyun, and the dazed Liu Ruoping respectively.
Three swords per person, no more, no less.
The Sword Light was fierce, precisely sealing off all space they could use to dodge.
"No! Fellow Daoist, spare me!"
Liu Ruoping’s soul fled his body; he only had time to raise a small blue shield before he was struck by the Profound Ice Flying Swords.
Man and shield alike were instantly turned into an ice sculpture.
"Break for me."
Sun Jiangjing roared, wildly hacking with his hooked blade. He smashed two Profound Ice Flying Swords in succession, but was struck by the last one and frozen into an ice sculpture.
Zhang Zeyun was quite fierce and brave; his treasured blade erupted with an earthy yellow glow as he clashed head-on with the Flying Swords.
He shattered two swords in a row, but in the end his Spiritual Power ran dry, and he was struck by the third sword. The cold Qi erupted, freezing him solid in an instant.
The three were all True Pill Cultivators, yet under a casual strike from Shen Xuan, they couldn’t last more than a few breaths before their vitality was cut off and they all fell.
On the other side, facing the pouncing Profound Ice Divine Dragon, Situ Zhong’s eyes almost split; he desperately drove his Lifebound Flying Sword to block.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out without pause.
With every collision, a layer of Profound Ice built up on Situ Zhong’s Flying Sword, its Spiritual Light rapidly dimming.
He frantically circulated his Pill Essence Spiritual Power to dissolve the Profound Ice Cold Qi on his Flying Sword, but his speed could not keep up with the advance of the freezing.
"No!"
Situ Zhong howled in despair.
He took out a Medicine Bottle and was just about to take out the Spirit Pill inside to swallow it.
At that moment, a Sword Light as fine as a hair silently pierced through his protective Spiritual Qi and precisely sank into the sea of consciousness at the center of his brows.
It was exactly the same as the move he had used to sneak attack Shen Xuan.
The difference was this.
Situ Zhong’s body stiffened.
The light in his eyes rapidly faded, as cold Qi erupted all over him.
A few breaths later, this Late Stage True Pill Cultivator likewise turned into an ice sculpture.
Shen Xuan circulated his Spiritual Power and collected the three Island Master ice sculptures from Tiger Island, as well as Liu Ruoping’s ice sculpture on the deck, all into a gourd.
That gourd had originally been used by a Demon Cultivator from the Corpse Refining Sect to cultivate corpses.
Shen Xuan had taken it from his spoils of war; it was just right for collecting ice-sculpted corpses.
In the blink of an eye, four True Core Formation True Masters, including one Late Stage True Pill, were completely annihilated.
Shen Xuan’s expression remained calm, as if he had only done something trivial.
He flicked his sleeve.
The Profound Ice Cold Qi filling the air vanished abruptly.
The Feiyun Ship returned to normal.
Shen Xuan looked at Ye Qinghan and Lin Xuanyuan, whose faces were filled with terror, and let out a sigh.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, Fellow Daoist Lin, what should we do next?"
...
Flame Island, main discussion hall of the Fire Cloud Sect.
The monthly Sect affairs meeting was underway.
Zhong Suming sat upright in the main seat, his expression steady, listening to the Talisman Room Chief Chen Xingyu report on this month’s Talisman situation.
Zeng Yuyuan sat to the side, silent, a trace of worry between her brows.
Just then, a duty disciple hurried inside, presenting a greeting post with both hands, his tone urgent.
"Brother Zhong, the Law Enforcement Hall Elder of the Yueyun Sect, True Master Huang Shi, has personally arrived; he is already at the harbor."
"True Master Huang Shi?"
Zhong Suming abruptly rose to his feet, his expression changing slightly.
Yueyun Sect was their parent Sect, and a Law Enforcement Hall Elder held high status and great authority. For him to suddenly arrive now was anything but normal.
"The meeting is adjourned. All Chief Disciples, come with me to the harbor to welcome Senior Huang Shi’s arrival."
Zhong Suming did not dare be negligent and immediately gave the order.
