Chen Xiaohan squatted in the cave as she stared nervously at the defensive formation at the entrance of the cave. As she watched the light screen of the formation fluctuate, her heart tightened. It seemed that the formation would not last much longer.
She did not set up this formation herself as she did not have the strength to do so. This was another life-saving item that Chen Mo had given her. It was a rank four formation plate that could instantly set up a rank four defensive formation. Its value was extremely high and was even more valuable than those five star spirit talismans.
She had encountered the Mystical Ice Stream once before. Fortunately, she was able to dodge it in time and survive. However, the risk also brought about a huge reward. The Mystical Ice Stream had actually brought along three top-grade Yuan Stones!
Each top-grade Yuan Stone was worth ten thousand contribution points. As long as she had these three top-grade Yuan Stones, she, Lu Xuan, and Xia Chenxi would all be able to meet the requirements to enter the Profound Ice Pavilion.
Chen Xiaohan would naturally not miss out on such a valuable item. Unfortunately, there were also a few disciples of the Profound Ice Pavilion who had dodged the Mystical Ice Stream at the same time. They were also the group of people who were attacking the formation outside.
Using a spirit talisman to bind these people, Chen Xiaohan took the lead in obtaining the three top-grade Yuan Stones and then fled. Unfortunately, the group of disciples were not weak and very quickly broke free from Chen Xiaohan's bindings and chased after her.
Chen Xiaohan had no choice but to use the five star spirit talisman that Chen Mo had given her. However, she did not expect that there would be a cultivator at the fifth layer of the Spirit Refinement realm among this group of disciples!
Although the five star spirit talisman had successfully killed two of the disciples, it was not able to kill all of them. Chen Xiaohan's actions had undoubtedly enraged this group of people. As they chased after her, they unexpectedly encountered a few more disciples of the Profound Ice Pavilion and immediately joined in the chase. Three top-grade Yuan Stones and thirty thousand contribution points were enough to move anyone's heart. After all, Han Qing was willing to kill someone for a Mystical Ice Jade Leaf Lotus.
Although Chen Xiaohan was a four star spirit talisman master and was not weak, she was not a match for so many people. Moreover, there was a cultivator at the fifth layer of the Spirit Refinement realm. Therefore, she could only continuously use the five star spirit talismans that Chen Mo had given her. No matter how many spirit talismans she had, she could not afford such a consumption. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Chen Xiaohan had no choice but to hide in the cave and set up a formation to protect herself.
However, this was clearly not a long-term plan. A Rank 4 Spirit Array was not a high level Spirit Array. Under the persistent attacks of these disciples, it was only a matter of time before it was broken. Because they had killed a disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion, even if Chen Xiaohan handed over the Primordial Stones, this group of people would definitely not let it go.
Just as Chen Xiaohan was thinking, the token in her hand suddenly began to light!
A trace of joy flashed across Chen Xiaohan's face. Someone was nearby!
However, soon after, she began to worry again. These disciples of the Profound Ice Pavilion were too strong. The strongest among them was at the fifth layer of the Spirit Refinement realm. Even if the disciples of the Wind Sword School came, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths. As she thought of this, Chen Xiaohan could not help but feel regret. She should not have summoned others. However, she really could not think of any other way in such a desperate situation. Therefore, she did something to comfort herself. Who would have thought that someone would actually receive the message.
It must not be Lu Xuan. If it was Lu Xuan, then she would be the one who harmed him!
Chen Xiaohan silently prayed in her heart. The token in her hand was constantly flashing. According to the information provided by the token, the person had clearly discovered her and was continuously approaching...
With Xia Chenxi in his arms, Lu Xuan quickly rushed over. However, he was somewhat puzzled when he realized that there was no response from the other side after he sent the message. Logically speaking, if the other side sensed that he had received the message, there should be a response.
"Forget it, let's go and see the situation first." Lu Xuan only paused for a moment before he continued forward.
Soon, Lu Xuan heard a series of bombarding sounds. It was obvious that the location of the incident was in front of him. It seemed like there was still a battle going on.
After bypassing a huge ice boulder, the scene in front of him instantly came into view. Four disciples wearing the uniform of the Profound Ice Pavilion were constantly attacking the array in front of the cave.
Lu Xuan was shocked and quickly retreated behind the ice boulder. It was indeed the people of the Profound Ice Pavilion. However, he did not know if the person hiding in the cave was the disciple of the Wind Sword School who had just sent him a distress message. However, that person had not replied, so Lu Xuan was not sure.
Although it was just a glimpse, Lu Xuan also discovered that he could not see through the strength of the four people. They were obviously existences in the Spirit Refinement Realm. Moreover, one of them seemed to be stronger than Senior Xiao and was most likely in the fifth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Lu Xuan did not have much confidence in defeating someone in the fifth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. No matter how heaven defying he was, he was only in the Body Refinement Realm.
If he used his full strength, he might be able to fight against someone in the fifth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. After all, he had also condensed the mysterious ice energy and could be considered as half a step into the Spirit Refinement Realm. However, now that he had Xia Chenxi with him, Lu Xuan did not dare to take the risk.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan slightly hesitated. He circulated his Yuan Power and raised his hearing to the maximum. He wanted to listen to what these guys were saying and see if he could get any clues.
Coincidentally, one of the acupoints that Lu Xuan broke through was the Ermen Acupoint. One of the biggest effects of the Ermen Acupoint was that it could greatly enhance a martial artist's hearing.
Not only the Ermen Acupoint, but also the other acupoints that involved the five senses. Lu Xuan also broke through all of them. For example, the Qingming Acupoint could greatly enhance one's eyesight. With full strength, one could see things extremely far away.
As he listened attentively, the words of these Profound Ice Pavilion disciples were all passed into Lu Xuan's ears.
"This chick must have an extraordinary background. Not only can she set up such a powerful defensive formation, but she also has so many Five Star Spiritual Talismans."
"So what if her background is extraordinary? This is the Profound Ice Secret Realm. After killing her and throwing her corpse here, who can trace it?"
"After the formation is broken, Senior Gao, you should personally kill that chick. I don't know if she has any Five Star Spiritual Talismans. Among us, only Senior Gao can face a Five Star Spiritual Talisman head-on."
"Hmph, if that's the case, I will need two of the three Supreme Grade Primordial Stones!"
…
Lu Xuan was no longer in the mood to listen to the rest of the conversation. From what the disciples had said just now, he was almost completely certain of who was trapped in the cave, and he also knew why he had not received any response.
Wind Sword School, chick, Five Star Spiritual Talismans, other than Chen Xiaohan, there was absolutely no one else!
As for why Chen Xiaohan did not contact him, he also knew why. Obviously, Chen Xiaohan did not want to drag the other disciples down. There was a cultivator in the Fifth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm here. If the disciples of Wind Sword School came, they would definitely be cannon fodder.
"Chen Xiaohan, you are really stupid!" Lu Xuan scolded in his heart, but he had already made a decision in his heart, even if this decision was very likely to cause him to be doomed eternally.
Lu Xuan lowered his head and looked at the unconscious Xia Chenxi in his arms. A smile appeared on his face. He reached out his hand to smooth her hair and said softly, "Chenxi, I'm sorry. Xiaohan, I have to save you. No matter which one of you, I can't bear to let you die. However, even if I die, I will die before you. If it's possible, I will let Xiaohan escape with you, but after that, it's all up to you …"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan did not delay any longer. He directly carried Xia Chenxi on his back, took out a rope, and tied Xia Chenxi's delicate body to his body. His body that was hidden behind the ice rock suddenly stepped out!
"Who!"
"Who is it!"
The appearance of Lu Xuan instantly attracted the attention of these Xuan Ice Pavilion disciples. One by one, they stopped their attacks and turned their heads to look at Lu Xuan with vigilance.
However, after seeing Lu Xuan clearly, the group of disciples suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. One of them laughed and said, "I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be a little guy in the Body Refinement Stage. What, do you also want to play the hero to save the beauty?"
The sudden stop of the attacks outside had already attracted Chen Xiaohan's attention. After hearing their words, Chen Xiaohan's heart sank. It was obvious that the person she had called out to before had still come …
Please don't be Lu Xuan, please don't be … Chen Xiaohan's heart tightened.
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded, "Xuan Ice Pavilion disciples, are they all used to killing and robbing?"
It's over … it really is him … Chen Xiaohan's mouth revealed a trace of a bitter smile. She should have thought of it earlier. Seeing so many Spirit Refinement Stage Xuan Ice Pavilion disciples outside and still willing to come out to save her, besides Lu Xuan, who else could it be?
For a moment, Chen Xiaohan did not know what she was feeling. Gratified? Worried? Bitter? Sweet? Or, all of them. Lu Xuan, he was really willing to risk his life for her …
Holding the Shattered Ice Sword, Lu Xuan walked over step by step. There wasn't much of an expression on his face, only calmness. He had to save Xiaohan no matter what. Whether it was because of Chen Mo's request or because of Chen Xiaohan's feelings for him, he didn't care what the outcome would be.
Looking at Lu Xuan walking over, these Xuan Ice Pavilion disciples were not the slightest bit worried. They all looked at him with smiles, no one taking a mere Body Refinement Stage kid seriously.
"Yo, he's carrying a beauty!"
"Really, leave this guy to me, leave the chick he's carrying to me too."
"Hmph, how can I let you have such a good thing, unless you give up the things on the chick inside."
"Give it up, give it up, but this kid and the chick's things are all mine!"
Before they could take down Lu Xuan, they all began to discuss the matter of dividing the spoils.
Perhaps it was because the discussion was over, a disciple at the third level of the Spirit Refinement Stage casually walked forward, "Kid, leave your storage ring and the chick on your back, then you can scram. Of course, if you want to die, I can't do anything about it."
Out of the four people, he had to first get rid of the three weaker ones, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the strongest disciple at the fifth level of the Spirit Refinement Stage. Lu Xuan silently made a countermeasure in his heart, not putting the disciple who spoke in his eyes at all.
Seeing that Lu Xuan actually ignored his words and continued to walk towards him, the disciple suddenly became furious. He waved the sword in his hand and shouted angrily, "There is a road to heaven, but you refuse to take it, then don't blame me for sending you to hell!"
