There was no way the Blood Monkey Ghost King would listen to Long Qiangu. He knew that his own strength was comparable to Long Qiangu's, but Long Qiangu had the power of the Ice Phoenix that had been passed down for countless years. He and Xun Hong were no match for him. So what if they killed Luo Qing? The Dragon Essence would still fall into Long Qiangu's hands.
The Blood Monkey Ghost King and Xun Hong wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Xun Hong cursed his bad luck. First, they encountered Little Fire Crow, then Long Qiangu appeared.
"Retreat!" Xun Hong roared. The Silver Striped Demon Rat abandoned Luo Qing and retreated with Xun Hong. "Are we just going to watch Long Qiangu of the Great Zhou Dynasty take the Dragon Essence?"
"Even if Long Qiangu didn't come, we wouldn't be able to do anything to that feathered beast and those two women. We have to retreat sooner or later. Once we spread the news that Long Qiangu killed these people and obtained the Dragon Essence, I don't believe that the other powerful cultivators in the ice cave will let Long Qiangu leave safely. No matter how powerful Long Qiangu is, he may not be able to walk out of this ice cave alive. "Xun Hong snorted.
"I'll deal with you later." Long Qiangu cursed. He spread his wings and sent two extremely cold gusts of wind toward Little Fire Crow and Xiang Qingcheng.
Little Fire Crow cawed as the seven True Brahma Flames burned even brighter, releasing a magnificent azure-white light and chanting Buddhist mantras. Long Qiangu was given a fright when he saw the Ice Phoenix's essence being melted away by the True Brahma Flames. He had fought the Snow Domain Demonic Deer head-on with the Ice Phoenix essence power that he had inherited from the Great Qi Dynasty. Although the Ice Phoenix's essence power was almost completely depleted, it was still something that a late-Nascent Soul cultivator could withstand. As such, this pitch-black Little Fire Crow was truly astonishing.
Long Qiangu gritted his teeth and flapped his wings again. The cold vortex sucked Little Fire Crow into it. Little Fire Crow tried to control the seven True Brahma Flames to break free, but was unable to do so.
In comparison, Xiang Qingcheng's situation was worse. The jade-colored sword bracelet-like halo behind him, as well as the flying swords in the air, were covered with ice crystals and were frozen. As the five jade talismans floated in the air, they were covered with ice crystals and their power was greatly reduced. Almost the entire space was frozen by the power of the Ice Phoenix.
Before Xiang Qingcheng and Little Fire Crow could do anything, Long Qiangu had no intention of stopping. He turned into a faint shadow and approached Lu Xiaotian in a flash.
He reached out and grabbed the dragon bone in Lu Xiaotian's hand. However, it was as if the dragon bone had grown out of Lu Xiaotian's hands. No matter how hard Long Qiangu tried, it wouldn't budge.
Long Qiangu's body to Qiangu's in Qiangu The sharp claw shadow grabbed at Lu Xiaotian, enough to tear him into pieces. Even if he was a twelfth level body cultivator, in this unconscious state, he would not be able to survive.
Luo Qing, who had been protecting Lu Xiaotian this entire time, roared. The flying sword in her hand flew forward and spun in the air, turning into a bright full moon.
The Ice Phoenix's claws clawed at the full moon, creating ripples on the surface of the full moon like the surface of water.
Luo Qing spat out another mouthful of blood. The full moon seemed like it would be torn apart at any moment. However, the flying sword was like dry wood. It was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, continuing to maintain the full moon in the sky that seemed like it would collapse at any moment.
"No." With Xiang Qingcheng's eyesight, she could see that Luo Qing's face was already as pale as paper. She knew that Luo Qing was burning her life force as the price. Otherwise, with Luo Qing's strength, she was still weaker than her. There seemed to be some accidents when refining the Gold Spirit Treasure. It was already shown when she was fighting with the Silver Thread Devil Rats. In this situation, how could she stop Long Qiangu, who possessed the origin of the Ice Phoenix!
"You're seeking death!" Long Qiangu sneered and grabbed at the air again. Bang, that bright full moon shattered, turning into motes of moonlight that filled the sky.
Luo Qing suddenly stopped resisting and turned to hug Lu Xiaotian. A sharp and cold Qi entered her body from behind. Pain flashed across Luo Qing's face, but it was quickly replaced by a smile. Luo Qing's smile was filled with satisfaction. Hugging the man who had appeared in her dreams so many times was like hugging the entire world.
Long Qiangu was just about to tear the two of them to pieces when the dragon bone in Lu Xiaotian's hand suddenly fell off. Lu Xiaotian's eyes were slightly closed, and two streams of tears flowed out, falling onto Luo Jue's beautiful but pale face. The dragon essence had completely returned from the dragon bone to his body, and his middle dantian had been reestablished in his chest. Apart from a small portion of the dragon essence being absorbed by his limbs and bones, the rest of the dragon essence had returned to his middle dantian. When Luo Qing hugged him, Lu Xiaotian had regained a portion of his consciousness, but the return of the dragon essence had reached the final juncture, and he was still unable to move.
Without the dragon essence, the dragon bone fell from his hand and plummeted to the ground.
Long Qiangu didn't care whether Lu Xiaotian or Luo Qing lived or died. The only thing in his eyes was the dragon bone that had absorbed the dragon essence. He immediately stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion with a calm expression, grabbing the dragon bone in his hand and carefully examining it.
"Brother Lu, you're awake." Luo Qing only felt that the vitality in her body was gradually draining away from the wound on her back. Her arms were gradually losing strength, and she was about to lose her grip on Lu Xiaotian when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her.
Luo Qing's face was full of surprise, and Lu Xiaotian was stunned. This pure smile made Lu Xiaotian feel as if he had returned to the time when he first met Luo Qing, the innocent, quick-witted, and optimistic girl.
Lu Xiaotian suddenly realized something, and hurriedly took out a lot of healing pills from the enchantment, wanting to pour them into Luo Qing's mouth.
"It's useless, Brother Lu. My spiritual power is fading. Even without the injury just now, my Dao foundation has been destroyed, and I can't survive in this ice cave for too long."
Luo Qing's weak hand stopped Lu Xiaotian's attempt to save her, and angrily tried to touch Lu Xiaotian's cheek. However, her body seemed to have been drained of all strength, and at this time, even raising her hand was extremely difficult.
Lu Xiaotian lowered his head, grabbed Luo Qing's hand and pressed it against his face. Tears flowed from his eyes uncontrollably, dripping onto Luo Qing's body.
"Dongfang!" Xiang Qingcheng's tears also fell silently. She wanted to approach Lu Xiaotian, but she stopped without making a sound. Ever since she met Lu Xiaotian, she had never seen him so sad.
"Brother Lu, you look so ugly when you cry."
"Why are you so silly?" Lu Xiaotian's voice was hoarse. He had never felt such pain in his heart before. Even when the Dragon Essence had penetrated his body and made his whole body feel like it was splitting apart, it was nothing compared to this.
"Brother Lu, don't be sad for Qing 'er. This is Qing' er's own choice. Qing 'er is the happiest now, because Qing' er finally knows what she wants. Qing 'er doesn't want to live forever, and I don't want to live as long as the heavens. I just want to see Brother Lu live happily. Even if it's just watching from afar. "
Luo Qing stared fixedly at Lu Xiaotian. "Brother Lu, have you ever liked me?"
"Yes, Qing 'er. I've liked you, and I've been moved. I've always remembered what I said before I formed my Core." Lu Xiaotian's tears fell like rain, and he hugged Luo Qing's blood-soaked body tightly. He had never felt so helpless before.
Luo Qing immediately smiled like a flower, and her pale face blushed inexplicably. "The Nine Saints Clear the Heart, and the Most Exalted Indifference. You can forget everything, but you can't forget your feelings. Brother Lu, I can't forget you … "
"Qing 'er!" Lu Xiaotian's hoarse roar reverberated throughout the entire ice cave.
