The sword-light was like an ice-cold crescent moon. It slashed through the air and seemed to split the void into two.
Wu Qiaoyun's cultivation was at the high level of the Yuan Underworld. Coupled with her status as a genius, her combat strength had already reached the peak of the seven-star level. In the future, when she reached the limit of the Yuan Underworld, she would surpass the norm and reach the 10-star level.
Even though she hadn't used her full strength, it was still at the level of an ordinary seven-star level.
The Giant Snow Bear looked extremely ferocious. Its roiling sound waves were extremely powerful, as if they could shatter everything. However, in front of this cold moon-like sword-light, it did not have the slightest bit of resistance.
Slash!
Slash!
Slash!
Even the Giant Snow Bear was slashed by the sword light. It broke through its head and came out from behind like a hot knife through butter. The Cold Moon Sword Light continued to slash forward, creating a long crack in the snow that stretched for hundreds of meters. It cut through several huge ice boulders.
One slash to kill!
After Wu Qiaoyun slashed with her sword, she drew a flower and sheathed her sword. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water. It was very pleasing to the eye.
Chen Zong nodded silently. Wu Qiaoyun's attainments in swordsmanship were pretty good. He could see that she had put in a lot of effort.
"Senior Sister is so powerful." Li Jiayin gave her a thumbs-up and exclaimed in admiration.
She couldn't fight against that Giant Snow Bear at all. A light blow could kill her and shatter her.
However, Wu Qiaoyun had only slashed with her sword once. She hadn't used any brilliant swordsmanship and had directly killed the Giant Snow Bear. She had displayed amazing swordsmanship and combat strength.
"It's nothing. When your cultivation reaches the high level of the Yuan Underworld, you will also be able to easily kill such a Giant Snow Bear." Wu Qiaoyun smiled faintly in response.
Within the body of a snow beast, there would be soul essences condensed. That was the essence of the snow beast's body. The power within the ice soul was extremely pure, and it was very effective for ice element cultivators. Naturally, it was collected by everyone.
As for the Giant Snow Bear's fur, it was also very good. It could be used as a quilt or a cushion. It could also be used as a decoration and so on. However, its practicality was relatively low. Thus, no one wasted time cutting it open and throwing it away.
Now, it was better to focus on finding the Phoenix Crystal first.
The ten members of Hong Feng's team quickly split into two groups. Each group had five members. Hong Feng brought two secret impartations of the Ice Phoenix Dao and Ao Shisan and Ao Shisi, who were sent over by Ao Shengwang. As for the other five, they were led by Hong Feng's trusted aide, Mo Hongli, who was at the perfect Yuan Underworld realm.
Similarly, Hua Yourong's lineup was also divided into two groups, which made it easier to find.
As for Yan Zhenchai and Su Yumeng's lineup, although it was full, their overall strength was not as good as Hong Feng's lineup and Hua You Rong's lineup. They were not separated, which would increase the probability of finding the Phoenix Crystal, but it would disperse their strength. If they encountered any danger, they would not be able to defend themselves. Even if they obtained the Phoenix Crystal, they would not be able to take it away.
If that was the case, it would be better for them to gather their strength together. Only then would they have a greater competitive edge.
There were many snow beasts in the Sacred Ice Ground, and that was one of the dangers.
Powerful Snow Beasts could even reach the peak of the Yuan Underworld Stage and possess a 12-star combat strength. They were extremely terrifying.
If they were unlucky and found the Phoenix Crystal in the territory of a peak mid-tier Snow Beast, it would be much more difficult to obtain it. It would be very dangerous.
Along the way, everyone released their Spiritual Consciousness and scanned their surroundings to find the location of the Phoenix Crystal.
However, they did not find the Phoenix Crystal, but they did find a lot of Ice Attribute Divine Herbs and encountered many Snow Beasts.
This time, they encountered a pack of Giant Snow Wolves.
As far as the eye could see, there were over a thousand Giant Snow Wolves. Each Giant Snow Wolf was as big as a water buffalo. Their bodies were snow-white, and their limbs were strong. They seemed to have an indescribable sense of strength, as well as astonishing speed.
Every Giant Snow Wolf's eyes were red, and they were cold and emotionless. Their bodies emitted an astonishing cold aura. They were all mid-tier Snow Beasts, which were equivalent to the Yuan Underworld Stage.
Moreover, most of the Giant Snow Wolves were low-tier mid-tier Snow Wolves. Their combat strength was at least at the 3-star level. There were also some Giant Snow Wolves whose combat strength was at the 4-star or 5-star level.
In the distance, there were four Giant Snow Wolves that were significantly larger than the other Snow Wolves. They looked stronger, had longer and sharper fangs, and their claws were longer and sharper as if they could tear through everything.
These were obviously four stronger Giant Snow Wolves. The aura they emitted was extremely shocking, and they were at least at the 6-star level.
Among the four powerful Giant Snow Wolves, there was a Giant Snow Wolf that was even larger and more powerful standing on a giant ice boulder that was tens of meters tall. Its snow-white fur was soft and fluttering in the cold wind, covering its powerful muscles that were filled with explosive power.
Compared to the other Giant Snow Wolves, this Giant Snow Wolf was clearly much stronger. Compared to it, the other Giant Snow Wolves were like children compared to a strong man who had been through hundreds of battles.
This Giant Snow Wolf's eyes were like rubies, and there was a tuft of golden fur on its forehead that looked like a burning golden flame.
King!
This was the Wolf King of the Giant Snow Wolves. Its combat strength was at least at the 7-star level.
There was at least a 7-star Giant Snow Wolf King, four Wolf King Guards that were suspected to be at the 6-star level, and many 5-star, 4-star, and 3-star Giant Snow Wolves.
The four of them were surrounded by the Giant Snow Wolves.
They had not expected to encounter such danger before they could even find the Phoenix Crystal. It was too terrifying.
In an instant, Wu Qiaoyun's face was extremely solemn, while Li Jiayin's face was pale. Yu Nianxin pursed her lips slightly, and her face was filled with determination.
Only Chen Zong had an indifferent expression on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"If only Senior Sister Lan Shuang was here," Li Jiayin said softly.
Lan Shuang's cultivation was at the perfected Yuan Underworld Stage, and her combat strength had surpassed the 7-star level. With this level of combat strength, she could not only protect herself but also the others when facing so many Giant Snow Wolves. Furthermore, the habits of the wolf pack were similar. As long as the Wolf King was killed, the danger of the other wolves would be greatly reduced.
However, among the four of them, the ones with the highest cultivation were Wu Qiaoyun and Chen Zong, who were both at the high level of the Yuan Underworld. Given their cultivation bases, it would be difficult for them to even protect themselves, let alone the two of them.
Yes, it was not an exaggeration to say that they had to protect them. After all, the two of them had just broken through to the initial Yuan Underworld Stage. Their cultivation had been consolidated, and their combat strength had increased significantly. However, even if Junior Sister Yu Nianxin unleashed her full power and used the bloodline of the Ice Flame Sky Phoenix, she would probably only be able to display the combat strength of a 3-star level.
In the face of so many Giant Snow Wolves, a 3-star combat strength would be like serving food. Even a 4-star or 5-star Giant Snow Wolf would only be able to struggle for a while. It would be difficult for them to escape.
"Junior Sister Nianxin, make a decision." Wu Qiaoyun's expression was cold and solemn.
The instigator of this operation was Yu Nianxin. Whether they fought or retreated, it was up to Yu Nianxin to make the decision.
It was impossible for Yu Nianxin to remain calm in the face of the encirclement, as she did not possess the strength to do so.
Therefore, she had to make a choice.
Fight to the death?
Or retreat?
Even if they retreated, they had a choice. Should they retreat like this and shake off the pursuit of the Giant Snow Wolves, or should they use the token to leave the Sacred Ground?
The former was very risky. Whether they could really retreat was a big problem, and the possibility was very small. As for the latter, it was a sure thing, but it would mean that they had voluntarily withdrawn from the battle for the position of Path-Chosen. All their previous efforts would be in vain.
How should they choose?
The latter could save their lives and no one would have to die. However, the former might involve sacrifices.
This was a very difficult choice. Yu Nianxin did not want to give up, but she could not allow everyone to sacrifice themselves.
Gritting her teeth, Yu Nianxin was about to make a decision. Just as she was about to withdraw, a seemingly warm hand gently landed on her shoulder. It was Chen Zong's hand.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Chen Zong's voice also sounded in Yu Nianxin's ears at the same time. His voice was like a spring breeze, immediately calming Yu Nianxin's nervous state of mind.
However, Li Jiayin and Wu Qiaoyun did not believe it.
Chen Zong's cultivation base was only at the high level of the Yuanming Realm. How strong could his combat strength be?
Even if he was stronger than Wu Qiaoyun, he would only be at the Eight-Star level. That would be very shocking. Although he could protect himself when surrounded by so many Giant Snow Wolves, it would be too difficult to protect the others. The slightest carelessness could lead to casualties.
The Wolf King was a few thousand meters away, looking down from above. Its pair of red, ruby-like eyes exuded a cold, merciless indifference. It was as if it was looking down on all life. Its eyes were like a high-level lifeform looking down on a low-level lifeform. This was the might that belonged to the Wolf King.
Every Wolf King had been formed through numerous battles and massacres. They were extraordinary and could be considered invincible among those of the same level.
Soon after, the Wolf King raised one of its front paws in a human-like manner and raised it into the air. Everyone immediately discovered that all the Giant Snow Wolves lowered their bodies slightly, their four limbs bent and their muscles tensed up. The white fur on their bodies also seemed to have been imbued with an astonishing amount of power in that instant. They all tensed up like steel needles, emanating an astonishing aura.
They were about to pounce!
Every Giant Snow Wolf was accumulating power. They were just waiting for the Wolf King's command to pounce and launch an astonishing, sure-kill attack.
As for the four Wolf King Guards, they did not move. Their duty was to protect the Wolf King.
If they wanted to deal with the Wolf King, they would have to go through their defensive circle first.
The aura seemed to have solidified in an instant, becoming incomparably cold and desolate!
Li Jiayin's hands, which were wearing boxing gloves, turned white. Her face was also pale. It was difficult for her to withstand such a terrifying aura. Yu Nianxin also felt very uncomfortable. It was as if she was about to be drowned in a wave of murderous aura.
Wu Qiaoyun gripped her sword tightly. Her palms were sweating, and her expression was extremely grave. Her eyes narrowed slightly, cold and desolate.
The Giant Snow Wolves were about to launch an attack. It was fine if they did not attack, but once they did, it would be as terrifying as a thunderbolt breaking through a mountain.
