"Who would have thought that these two cultivators would be so difficult to deal with."
Qing Li's expression changed slightly as she gazed at the two people in the sunken ground who seemed to be on their last breaths.
An Lin held Xu Xiaolan in his arms, and his entire body was riddled with bloody wounds. There was also frost and snow all over his body, making it impossible for him to even move.
"An Lin, An Lin … Are you alright?"
Xu Xiaolan called out An Lin's name incessantly, and her voice was laced with sobs.
Qing Li stepped through the air and arrived directly above the two of them before looking down at them from above. "Let me end this now, Divine Azure Frost Annihilation!"
The projection of the Divine Azure Vermilion Bird over ten thousand feet in size appeared in the sky again. The Divine Azure Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and boundless balls of azure mist fell from the sky, freezing heaven and earth in their wake. The falling snow in the air also instantly froze upon coming into contact with the balls of azure mist before being pulverized into invisible particles.
Xu Xiaolan looked up at the balls of azure mist falling from the sky, and she held onto An Lin tightly as she closed her eyes.
"Ding Dong!"
"Detected that host is facing a grave threat. Are you willing to sacrifice one-fifth of your life force? You will receive unimaginable power. One-fifth of your life force has been depleted. "
"I agree …"
Boom!
The balls of azure mist froze the ground within a radius of several kilometers before pulverizing it, and a massive crater appeared on the ice plains.
Qing Li was just about to storm off when she suddenly faltered in the next instant, and she turned toward the center of the crater with incredulity on her face.
"How could this be …" Her voice was trembling slightly.
The other four snow maidens also made their way over to the crater upon seeing Qing Li's expression change, and their expressions shifted drastically as they looked down into the crater.
At the center of the crater, which was several dozen meters deep, was a man holding a woman in his arms. A green light glowed from his hand, and an extremely powerful healing power flowed toward the woman's body, quickly healing her injuries.
"Did you get a fright?" An Lin asked.
Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips and shook her head. Two streams of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She sniffled and said, "No, it's not like I haven't seen it before …"
She stretched out her jade-like hand and gently stroked An Lin's forehead. "When you used this power before, there was clearly only one black mark on your forehead. Why are there two now?"
"Isn't that obvious? No matter how many times you use it, there will be a few marks. Don't tell me you've been beaten silly? My Healing Skill doesn't heal your IQ! "An Lin said helplessly.
Xu Xiaolan giggled, her elegant little face was like a lotus blooming under the moonlight, bright and moving.
"How many marks can this mark be made?"
"Who knows? Maybe ten, maybe a hundred …"
"Eh, a few more strokes and my face will be ruined …"
"What's wrong with that? As long as you don't mind, it's fine. It can also scare the enemy."
…
Just as the two of them were conversing, the five Return to Void Stage Holy Palace Leaders finally recovered from their astonishment.
The five snow maidens looked at one another with determination in their eyes.
"Let's attack together!" Qing Li commanded in a cold voice.
"Frosty Star Fall!" A blue ice diagram appeared beneath the snow maiden's feet. There were tens of thousands of tiny stars on the ice diagram, and the stars detached themselves from the ice diagram before crashing down toward An Lin with destructive power.
"Frost Dragon of Hell!" A snow maiden with dark blue hands clapped her hands together, drawing upon all the power within her body to materialize a massive frost dragon of over ten kilometers in length. The frost dragon swam through the air as if it were trying to tear the sky apart, and it pounced toward An Lin with boundless power.
"Aurora Sword." A snow maiden who was a sword cultivator unleashed a simple and straightforward attack. All she did was thrust her white sword forward.
However, this simple sword strike was imbued with peerless sharpness, and it pierced through the air like a bolt of white lightning, splitting heaven and earth in half!
The severely wounded snow maiden also unleashed a palm toward An Lin, which transformed into a snowy palm over a thousand feet in length.
The azure divine vermilion bird behind Qing Li spread open its wings and pounced toward An Lin with boundless divine might!
"Does it hurt anymore?" An Lin asked in a gentle voice.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Xu Xiaolan shook her head lightly.
"Then give me a minute." An Lin smiled.
Xu Xiaolan nodded. "Alright!"
A white barrier of light enshrouded Xu Xiaolan's body, and An Lin rose into the air with the Evil-Slaying Sword in his hand.
"First technique, Wind Sword."
He swung his black longsword through the air toward the five devastating attacks.
The sword fell, and the wind rose!
The colorless and shapeless wind was like a ripple in the air, carrying with it a power that could sweep away anything that was not allowed in the world, and it spread in all directions.
It was like a light breeze that blew away all the impurities in the air.
It was like a warm spring breeze that banished all the coldness between heaven and earth.
The miniature stars falling from the sky were blown away like raindrops. The Frost Dragon of Hell, which was several dozen kilometers long, didn't even have a chance to cry out before it was reduced to vapor. The Aurora Sword shattered like glass into pieces, which then turned into dust that was carried away by the wind. The powerful snowy palm was reduced to a gaseous form, and the Azure Divine Vermilion Bird fled in fear, only to be stripped of all its feathers by the wind before disintegrating into a ball of azure mist.
The thick layer of clouds in the sky within a radius of over fifty kilometers disappeared with the wind.
The sun shone down upon the earth, bringing with it a long-awaited warmth.
"Phew … Nice weather." A faint smile appeared on An Lin's face as he looked up at the radiant sun.
The five Return to Void Stage snow maidens' eyes widened. They felt like they were dreaming!
"Impossible … What kind of power is this …" Qing Li exclaimed with shock etched on her face.
She then threw up a mouthful of blood due to the destruction of the Azure Divine Vermilion Bird.
"This power has already exceeded the realm of my comprehension … No wonder he was able to stop the Divine Dao Box from being sealed and severely wound the High Priestess. We were all too careless. The enemy we are facing is definitely above the Return to Void Stage!" Blood trickled down the corners of one of the snow maidens' lips as an expression of despair appeared on her face from the backlash of her sword being shattered.
"Palace Leader Qing Li, we should retreat …" The snow maiden with dark blue hands didn't even get a chance to finish her sentence before her eyes widened as a blue gash extended from her head to her lower abdomen.
An Lin had already appeared behind the snow maiden and killed her with a single slash of his sword!
When did he get here? Why weren't there any spatial fluctuations?! The other four snow maidens stared blankly at the snow maiden that had been sliced in half with horror etched on their faces.
"Split up!" Qing Li yelled.
The four snow maidens immediately fled in different directions as her voice fell.
An Lin observed heaven and earth, and he felt as if everything between heaven and earth was under his control. He could clearly sense every snowflake, every speck of dust, and he could communicate with them.
Lightning Manipulation Technique!
Boom! In the clear sky above, a bolt of white lightning imbued with the power of annihilation struck the snow maiden, instantly reducing her to ashes.
Mountain Quaking Fist!
The golden fist was imbued with the extremely rich power of the earth as it crashed down upon the snow maiden with the white bead.
The snow maiden let loose a shrill cry as she hovered the white bead in front of her before unleashing an ice crystal barrier.
Boom! The two collided, and the space around them cracked open, revealing a series of black, glass-like cracks.
The golden fist then tore through the ice crystal barrier with unstoppable force, pulverized the white bead, and engulfed the snow maiden …
The fear of death engulfed Qing Li, and she gripped the Flame-Sealing Disc tightly as she unleashed her spatial power to flee into the distance. Her heart was filled with indignation and remorse.
Qing Li was well aware that An Lin's power had to be triggered by certain conditions. Otherwise, An Lin wouldn't have chosen to flee with all his might.
If she hadn't provoked those two and flown directly to the Holy City, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Why did she provoke those two? Why did she force An Lin into such dire straits …
Qing Li's heart was filled with remorse, but she didn't give up. She had to do something …
After a single breath, she spat out a green glass bead, and her aura quickly diminished. However, she gritted her teeth and persevered as she fled with all her might in order to fight for that sliver of hope.
Right at this moment, she suddenly felt a burst of heat.
A streak of red light pierced through her body. It was a crimson arrow of flames!
The arrow pierced through heaven and earth, instantly killing the snow maiden from four hundred kilometers away!
The terrifying heat burned a massive hole into her body, severing her life force.
