The Frost Devils ran at an extremely fast speed. It was as if they had teleported within the ice and snow as they rapidly closed in on Chu Mu and the others. Following their roars, cold air surged forth and the northern wind whistled, causing snow to flutter.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten Frost Devils had closed in on Chu Mu and the others. The shocking cold air became even more intense.
The hands of the Frost Devils looked very strange. They were different from the five fingers of a human. They were much thicker and had the appearance of sharp claws. They were Frost Claws.
They quickly waved their Frost Claws. Biting cold air gathered between their claws and turned into claw marks that flickered with cold light. They tore through the air and clawed towards Chu Mu and the others. An attack of this level was enough to threaten an exceptional First Refinement expert.
"Chu Mu, be careful," Feng Wuhen said. Feng Wuhen said as he unsheathed his sword. It was as if a cool breeze was blowing around him, bringing the warmth of spring to this world of ice and snow.
As he drew his Sword Light, the cool breeze blew past. Wherever it passed, the ice and snow seemed to melt. Under the cool breeze, the Frost Devils' Frost Claws were like ice and snow under the scorching sun, rapidly melting and disappearing.
Among the six people from the Ancient Sword Alliance, Chu Mu's strength was defined as the limit of First Refinement. That was the highest estimate of his strength. Therefore, more than ten Frost Devils with the strength of First Refinement already had the strength to threaten Chu Mu.
The six of them were now allies. If conditions permitted, they would help Chu Mu. However, they would also leave some leeway for Chu Mu to display his own abilities.
Other than Chu Mu, who was deemed to be at the limit of First Refinement, the other five were at least at the middle stage of Second Refinement. Yes, Wang Sun, who was in the state of assassination, did indeed have that kind of strength. Although there were more than ten Frost Devils, their strength was only at the First Refinement. They were not a match for the six of them at all.
Feng Wuhen slashed out with his Sword Light. Wherever the Sword Light passed, three Frost Devils stopped in their tracks before disintegrating and disappearing.
Xia Yongxun's sword contained a desolate aura. That desolate aura seemed to be able to infect the surrounding environment. Even the ice and snow seemed to have an additional desolate aura. Three Frigid Ice Devils had died under his sword.
Wang Sun's figure flashed and killed two Frost Devils in a row. He dismembered them and cut them into countless pieces.
Lei Ba's hands flickered with lightning as they instantly blasted out, blasting the two Frost Devils into pieces. As for Kong Liu, he could be said to be the most familiar with the Frost Devils. Therefore, it was easier for him to attack. Under his spatial blade, the three Frost Devils were cut into countless pieces.
The last Frost Devil Man died under Chu Mu's sword.
Chu Mu did not use his full strength. That was because the strength of a mere Frost Devil Man was only equivalent to a Peak First Refinement expert.
To Chu Mu, such an Ice Devil Man didn't pose any threat. However, in the eyes of others, it was different. They had personally seen Chu Mu easily kill an Ice Devil Man with the strength of a peak first refinement initial stage. This further proved Chu Mu's strength, causing them to be even more at ease.
When the dozen or so Frost Devils died, they directly melted and disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
"The probability of Frigid Jade Essence appearing in the bodies of Frost Devils is very low. It's about a hundred to one." Kong Liu said. More than ten years ago, he had killed thousands of Frost Devils and only managed to obtain dozens of Frigid Jade Essences. The probability of a hundred to one was not exaggerated at all. "However, if it's a Frost Devil General, then every one of them would have Frigid Jade Essence in their bodies."
"Frost Devil General? Is it an existence of a higher level than the Frost Devils? "Feng Wuhen asked.
"That's right. The strength of a Frost Devil Man is at the First Refinement. The strongest will not reach the Second Refinement. As for the Frost Devil General, the weakest will be at the Early Second Refinement and the strongest will be at the Peak Second Refinement." Kong Liu said, "More than ten years ago, I planned to enter the depths of the secret realm. Unfortunately, I was unlucky and encountered a Middle Second Refinement Frost Devil General. At that time, I was only at the Early Second Refinement and could not defeat it. I could only rely on my life-saving ability to retreat. However, it's different now. Perhaps we can kill the Frost Devil General and enter the Frost Palace in the depths of the secret realm."
"What are you waiting for?" Lei Ba said. He clenched his fists and blazing electric arcs jumped around, as if lightning was flashing and thunder was rumbling.
Kong Liu had been here before, so he led the way. Under the Heavenly Oath, everyone was at ease.
They continued to move forward. As they went deeper, the cold air became heavier and the Frost Devil General that appeared became stronger. Middle First Refinement … Peak First Refinement … High First Refinement … Peak First Refinement … Peak First Refinement … Peak First Refinement … Peak First Refinement.
After that, it was the Peak First Refinement.
However, whether it was the Middle First Refinement or the Peak First Refinement, they were not much of a threat to the people of the Ancient Sword Alliance. Chu Mu did not even need to make a move. The five of them killed the Frost Devils one by one.
In this secret realm, the Frost Devils had the advantage of the environment, which increased their survival ability. However, the difference between the Second Refinement and the First Refinement was very obvious. No matter how great the Frost Devils' advantage was, it was useless in the face of absolute power.
Death was their only ending.
As the group continued to kill, they began to harvest the Frost Chalcedony.
The shapes of the Frigid Jade Essence were all different. Some were irregular circles, some were prismatic, some were cylindrical, and so on. Furthermore, the Frigid Jade Essences produced by Frigid Demons of different strengths were not very different in size. However, the power contained within was different.
The Frost Chalcedony was not only suitable for cultivators of Frost Attribute Cultivation Techniques, it was also suitable for other cultivators. Absorbing and refining it could clearly purify one's own power and better temper one's laws. It could be said that it was an extremely important cultivation resource.
However, now was not the time to refine the Frost Chalcedony. The group first took it and kept it. They would distribute it after they left.
The coldness grew heavier and heavier, and it began to affect the flow of everyone's blood to a certain extent. They had passed through the area of the Frost Devils and entered the area of the Frost Demon General.
The first Frost Demon General appeared before everyone's eyes.
The Frost Demon General's body was taller than the Frost Devils. It was 2.5 meters tall and the color of its body was deeper. Its pair of eyes were like sapphires, cold and emotionless, indifferent to the world.
A powerful cold aura emanated from the Frost Devil General's body, sweeping in all directions. When it saw Chu Mu and the others, the Frost Devil General let out a roar and quickly moved over. Under its feet, a circle of light blue ripples quickly spread out. The ripples covered a hundred meter radius, and the ice and snow ground froze again on top of its original foundation.
Frost Demonic Ring!
This was the innate ability of the Frost Demon General. It could produce a shocking chill that was several times stronger than the chill in the environment. It directly affected the flow of everyone's blood and Qi, and affected the flexibility of their bodies, causing them to be unable to use their full strength.
"Brother Chu Mu, you stay behind us." Lei Ba's body flashed, and he turned into a bolt of lightning that rapidly blasted towards the Frost Demon General. Unknowingly, a pair of purple fists had appeared in Lei Ba's hands. There were countless arcs of lightning dancing on the fists.
In an instant, Lei Ba rapidly closed in on the Frost Demon General and entered the range of the Frost Demonic Ring. Frost rapidly spread out from his body, and his speed dropped significantly.
With a low roar, a terrifying power burst out. Lightning flowed around his body, dispersing the frost. His speed increased again, and he closed in on the Frost Demon General. Both of his fists struck out continuously, and it was as if lightning had broken through the sky, chasing after the Frost Demon General's body. With two bangs, the Frost Demon General's body trembled, and it was forced to retreat. Two holes were formed on its body, and lightning flowed around.
However, under the Frost Demonic Ring, a large amount of chill was absorbed and injected into the Frost Demon General's body, causing the two holes on its body to heal rapidly.
Just as Kong Liu had said, it was impossible to kill the Frost Demon General without destroying it directly.
It could be said that this Frost Demon General, who was only at the Initial Second Refining, was very difficult to deal with. Its survivability was above that of a Middle Second Refining expert, and was comparable to a Peak Middle Second Refining expert. In addition, it had the ability to recover rapidly, which made it even more difficult to deal with.
Lei Ba's power burst out once again, and he performed a powerful killing move. Lightning was like a prison, and a terrifying power covered the Frost Demon General's body. It flowed up and down, and wantonly destroyed everything.
Under this attack, the Frost Demon General's body was torn to pieces, and it was finally killed.
After killing the Initial Second Refining Frost Demon General, Lei Ba seemed to have fought a great battle, and had used up twenty percent of his strength.
"The road ahead will not be easy," Lei Ba said with a grave expression. Lei Ba's expression was grave as he spoke. He held a piece of Cold Ice Jade Essence in his hand. It was larger than the Cold Ice Demon Man's and the energy contained within it was several times more majestic.
The others also nodded their heads. Although the battle between Lei Ba and the Icy Demon General had ended in a very short period of time, with their eyesight, they were able to see many things. Therefore, they understood that it would be very difficult to advance on the path to the icy palace.
"Chu Mu, why don't you stay here first?" Feng Wuhen said. Soon after, he shook his head. "It's not good to stay here either. We might encounter the Frost Demon Man or the Frost Demon General at any time. It's better for you to advance with us."
"If things don't work out, our goal will be to obtain the Frost Jade Essence," Kong Liu said.
Even though entering the Frost Palace was extremely attractive to them, everything had to be based on the actual situation.
"Maybe we'll be lucky and enter the Frost Palace," Chu Mu said with a smile.
"Then we'll count on your auspicious words," the others said with a smile.
In order to maintain the speed of their advance, whenever they encountered the Frost Demon General, at least two people would attack and try to kill it as quickly as possible to obtain the Frigid Chalcedony. As long as they obtained the Frigid Chalcedony, the Frost Demon General would have no hope of recovery. Otherwise, even if it was shattered, the Frigid Chalcedony would still be there. As time passed, it would absorb the cold air and eventually recover.
Gradually, the outline of a palace appeared in everyone's sight.
