Willpower was, after all, based on the body. When the body died, willpower would also slowly die. Unless it was like the swarthy youth. Before he lost his body, his soul had already been refined into a Yin specter. His life was no longer a combination of body and soul, but a Yin specter's ghost, residing in a body of flesh and blood. Under such circumstances, the swarthy youth's soul could exist without his body.
A normal human would have their willpower blurred when their body was seriously injured, and they might even fall into a coma.
The swarthy youth did not dare to directly clash with Lin Xintong's willpower, but he could severely injure Lin Xintong's body, making her lose consciousness.
In the icy plains, there was a constant snowstorm, so she had to constantly use her Yuan Qi to protect her body. Lin Xintong had already expended most of her Yuan Qi by going so deep into the icy plains.
"I just spent a bit of effort. In the end, your body is still mine."
The swarthy youth's eyes were like a venomous snake's. He looked deeply at Lin Xintong, as if he was looking at a delicious prey.
Following that, the swarthy youth's figure slowly melted into the ice and snow, as if he had melted.
The killing aura around his body became thicker and thicker. This killing aura gradually dispersed, forming a black door of light.
Malicious Ghost Summoning Art.
The swarthy youth gently touched the black door of light. The door of light became bigger and bigger, as if it was the entrance to hell. Red-eyed malicious ghosts rushed out from the black door, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
They did not have a physical body, but after they appeared, the surrounding ice and snow swept towards them, covering their entire bodies …
…
Wu Wu …
The cold wind howled as Lin Xintong proceeded forward alone.
Suddenly, her nearly frozen body froze. She gently lifted her head. Under the snow and wind, her pair of indifferent eyes looked around. Her eyelashes and eyebrows were already covered in frost.
She remained silent as her pale and slender fingers touched the hilt of her sword.
Around her, in the raging snowflakes, there were more than ten blurry figures.
These figures were slowly approaching.
They were all huge and their bodies were covered in long white fur. Their footsteps were heavy, giving off a feeling of extreme danger.
Lin Xintong held her breath. She was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Encountering these snow monsters under such circumstances was no doubt a disaster for Lin Xintong.
There were desolate beasts in this icy plains?
Lin Xintong stood there with her sword in hand. In the snowstorm, she looked like a beautiful ice sculpture.
As the black shadows approached, Lin Xintong could see clearly that they were not desolate beasts. They were completely formed from ice and snow. Even their fur was formed from snow.
Their bodies were made of ice and snow, but their eyes glowed red, revealing an extremely evil intent.
Without a word, the snow monster attacked!
A huge claw smashed towards Lin Xintong's direction.
Lin Xintong's heart sank. Seeing that the claw was about to land on her head, she forcefully gathered her Yuan Qi and stabbed out with her sword.
Screech!
The sword cut through the wind and snow, piercing the huge beast's claw!
The ice and sword Qi clashed. Lin Xintong's sword let out a creaking sound as it was bent by the claws.
This was a peerless treasured sword. Usually, when paired with Lin Xintong's pure Yin Yuan Qi, it was invincible. But at this moment, because Lin Xintong was extremely weakened, this sword could not slice off the behemoth's claw.
The behemoth roared and opened its bloody mouth, biting at Lin Xintong!
With nowhere to retreat, Lin Xintong forced out a wisp of blood essence. At the cost of burning her life force, she forcefully took a deep breath. The sword in her hand, after being injected with Lin Xintong's life force, shone with a blinding azure blue light!
Puah!
This strike was successful in every endeavor. The behemoth's claw was sliced off. Following that, its neck was also pierced. Its massive body suddenly came to a halt as its actions froze. Following that, with a loud "Peng", it crashed onto the snowy plains!
Ice crystals rolled off its body as the snow monster rapidly disintegrated. Finally, it turned into a wisp of Yin Qi and disappeared.
After this strike, Lin Xintong gasped for air. A trace of blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth. She smiled gently, but it was a somewhat melancholic smile.
Just this strike had consumed her life force and triggered her terminated meridians. The pure Yin frost Qi sealed in her body could no longer be suppressed!
Her body's condition was too terrible. It had reached the point where she had no Yuan Qi to use. Now, every strike with destructive power would burn her life force. She could not withstand it at all.
Not far away, the swarthy youth, who was hidden in the snowstorm, was watching this scene with a sinister smile. Although he no longer had a body, it was not a problem for him to deal with Lin Xintong, who was at the end of her rope.
"Kill, continue killing. I want to see how long you can last. If this goes on, your body will be mine!"
…
"Where did these snow monsters come from?"
Lin Xintong's sword-wielding fingers were trembling gently. When she killed the monster, Lin Xintong did not sense any signs of life from the monster. It was completely like a puppet.
Furthermore, the extremely evil aura made Lin Xintong suspect that these snow monsters did not look like a trial arranged by the God Advent Tower.
At this moment, around Lin Xintong, there were another seven to eight blurry figures in the snowstorm. The number of snow monsters had increased from more than ten to more than twenty.
Lin Xintong's heart sank bit by bit. Ignoring the twenty behemoths, even if she slashed out a dozen more times, her life force would be completely depleted. That would be the end of her life.
Am I really going to die here …?
Seeing these snow monsters, Lin Xintong's expression was indifferent. The snow monsters had formed a circle, blocking her path forward. There was still a path behind her.
Lin Xintong glanced behind her from the corner of her eyes, but eventually, she did not retreat. Instead, she lifted her feet and walked forward.
She walked towards the behemoths. From the moment she stepped onto the icy plains, she had already firmed up this belief. No matter what she encountered, she would not retreat.
And now … she had nowhere to retreat. If she turned and fled, the snow monsters would chase up to her. She would not be able to deal with the sneak attacks from behind.
Since that was the case, she could only search for that nearly impossible chance of survival in the midst of certain death …
…
The snowy plains were boundless. The cold wind was mixed with ice shards. They flew through the air at an unbelievable speed, emitting sharp whistling sounds.
At such a terrifying speed, even a steel plate would be pierced into a sieve.
Yi Yun advanced with great difficulty on the snowy plains. The pure Yang energy in his body burned to protect his body, constantly melting the ice and snow.
Yi Yun's sense of direction was extremely strong. Ever since the white-dressed female gave him the initial guidance, he had been walking in a straight line.
However, even if Yi Yun's direction was not wrong, Lin Xintong's direction could also change. In the vast icy plains, the wind and snow were boundless. It was not easy to find a person, but it was too easy to lose a person.
To find Lin Xintong, he had to increase his speed. He had to catch up to Lin Xintong before she went too far after changing her direction.
"I should have been walking for four days …" Yi Yun muttered to himself.
In the icy plains, there was no distinction between day and night. Even though Yi Yun had a pure Yang body, his speed was still very slow.
The longer it took, the more worried he became. This meant that the chances of him missing Lin Xintong was higher.
It was not easy for Yi Yun to maintain the icy plains for such a long period of time. And in the past two days, Yi Yun had been constantly maintaining his energy vision, causing him to overdraft his mental energy.
But even so, he did not discover anything in his energy vision. If Lin Xintong was nearby, the energy fluctuations in her body would be as obvious as a spark in the night.
Yi Yun frowned as he slowed down his pace. He swallowed a relic and slightly recovered his exhausted stamina.
Even when he was resting, Yi Yun did not deactivate his energy vision.
In the snowstorm, the energy vision was the only thing Yi Yun could rely on to find Lin Xintong. If he happened to miss Lin Xintong while deactivating his energy vision, it would be too late for regrets.
And at this moment, Yi Yun suddenly felt something as he let out a soft gasp.
He discovered that in his energy vision, there were some sporadic energy fluctuations hidden under the snow. These energy fluctuations were too weak, so it was difficult to discover them if one did not sense them carefully.
This was naturally not Lin Xintong, but it was still unusual for it to be in the icy plains.
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment before he slowly walked over.
He squatted down at a spot with traces of energy fluctuations and used his hands to push aside the snowflakes. Following that, he saw red ice crystals under the snowflakes.
The sparkling and translucent red ice crystal gave off a faint fishy smell. The energy ripples came from it.
Blood!?
Yi Yun's heart tightened. These red ice crystals were formed from blood freezing!
According to what the white-dressed female said, there was only Lin Xintong in the fourth level of the God Advent Tower. Then, could these bloodstains be Lin Xintong's?
If Lin Xintong could not withstand the frost Qi invasion of the icy plains, it should be her natural Yin Meridians acting up, causing her meridians and Dantian to freeze. She should not have been injured or bled!
Yi Yun took a deep breath. His mind was in a mess. He gently rubbed his forehead to calm himself down.
Bleeding meant that she was injured. Then, Lin Xintong might have encountered an enemy or desolate beast. The latter was fine, as it was a test of the God Advent Tower, but if it was the former …
An enemy in the fourth level of the God Advent Tower, could it be the evil race that the white-dressed female mentioned?
For a dying Lin Xintong to encounter an evil race … If that was the case, Yi Yun did not dare to imagine the consequences!
Standing up, he looked into the distance. In his energy vision, Yi Yun could see that there was a faint energy fluctuation emanating from the snowy plains, extending into the distance in a zigzag manner.
It was also a bloodstain!
Yi Yun's limbs immediately turned cold. He no longer cared about resting as he chased after the bloodstain!
His body's pure Yang Qi was burning fiercely. Behind Yi Yun, with a clear cry, a Golden Crow spread its wings and flew into the sky!
When the snowstorm swept in front of Yi Yun, it instantly turned into a steaming white mist. As for Yi Yun, he was like a burning golden flame as he flew through the mist.
Wait for me!
