The snowstorm spread as the world turned into a vast expanse.
At the moment Lin Xintong collapsed, Yi Yun had already arrived beside Lin Xintong. He held Lin Xintong's thin body in his arms.
Her body was very light and did not have any body temperature. It was as cold as ice.
Her life force was slowly being extracted from Lin Xintong's body. Her eyes were tightly shut and her long eyelashes were covered with tiny ice particles.
Blood and ice crystals condensed on the surface of Lin Xintong's body. She was like an ice flower that was about to shatter, extremely fragile.
Yi Yun held Lin Xintong in his arms as he stood silently in the snow. One of his hands was placed on Lin Xintong's meridians. Meridians were the channels through which a warrior's energy flowed. With the Purple Crystal's sensing of energy, Yi Yun could clearly see the situation of Lin Xintong's meridians.
With this, Yi Yun's heart sank.
Lin Xintong's situation was terrible.
She only had a tiny bit of life force left. Even in the Lin family, with the Lin family's best recuperation ground, with all sorts of good medicine, and with all sorts of good medicine to regulate Lin Xintong's meridians, she might not be able to fully recover.
Furthermore, they were still in the extreme frost icy plains. The cold wind was biting. Even Yi Yun, who had a pure Yang body that could withstand the cold wind, would find it difficult to recuperate here.
If it was Lin Xintong, with her natural Yin Meridians, it would be even worse. The frost toxins had already spread through Lin Xintong's body, and her flame of life could be extinguished at any time.
Seeing Lin Xintong's pale and beautiful face that looked like it was transparent, Yi Yun felt his heart wrench.
The God Advent Tower's Item Spirit was already in slumber, so it could not help them. They could only rely on themselves.
Thinking of Lin Xintong's last moment and her lost eyes, Yi Yun did not know what to feel. If he could not think of a solution, then it would be the last time Lin Xintong saw this world …
Yi Yun gently held Lin Xintong's hand. He carefully injected pure Yang energy into her body, protecting her heart meridians.
This was the only thing Yi Yun could do.
However, Lin Xintong had burned too much of her life force. Just this bit of pure Yang energy was not enough to wake her up …
He hugged Lin Xintong and stood silently in the snow. He now had two choices. He could advance forward and retrace the ancient Great Empress' path.
Or they could retreat and leave the extreme frost icy plains, returning to the third level of the God Advent Tower.
Choosing to proceed forward was destined to be fraught with difficulties. With Lin Xintong losing consciousness and her life being fragile, Yi Yun had to constantly inject pure Yang energy into her body to maintain her vitality. Under such circumstances, it was obvious how difficult it would be for Yi Yun to traverse the extreme frost icy plains.
As for retreating …
Yi Yun knew how long the journey back was. He had walked for four days, so if he carried Lin Xintong, it would take at least six days.
Yi Yun did not know if Lin Xintong could last six days. Even if she could, what would happen if he brought her back to the third level of the God Advent Tower six days later?
Her lost vitality could not be replenished.
Yi Yun took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the snow.
No matter which path he chose, he had to recover his strength now.
Just now, Yi Yun had slashed out with his sword. It was his strongest attack, but this attack had greatly depleted Yi Yun's stamina.
Yi Yun knew very well that the battle had not ended …
At this moment, high in the sky hundreds of feet away from Yi Yun.
A pair of blood-red eyes stared at Yi Yun like a vulture.
The swarthy youth was hidden in the void. His expression was extremely ugly. Behind him, the door to Hell he had summoned had already shattered. Even he had suffered a backlash from the sword Qi!
Once a Yin specter lost its body, it would become extremely weak. Yi Yun's final attack was devastating. The icy plains' snow monsters were connected to the swarthy youth's soul. They were completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind. This was a heavy blow to the swarthy youth!
"How is this possible …"
The swarthy youth could not believe that Yi Yun's strength was so terrifying.
Even if Yi Yun had a pure Yang body, allowing him to fight in the snowy plains and kill the icy plains' snow monsters, he should not have been able to destroy more than twenty icy plains' snow monsters in one strike, and even injure himself.
This was beyond his understanding.
"Oh? This kid's cultivation level has reached … the peak of the Yuan foundation realm! "
Only then did the swarthy youth notice Yi Yun's cultivation level. A sixteen year old at the peak of the Yuan foundation realm. This cultivation speed was too fast. Furthermore, the swarthy youth carefully recalled that although he had noticed Yi Yun's amazing potential in the beginning, he did not notice that Yi Yun had such a perfect pure Yang body. This meant that Yi Yun had probably had a fortuitous encounter in the God Advent Tower.
This luck made him envious.
"I thought he was a delicious prey, but I never expected him to be so difficult to deal with. I still have to think it through. I am only a Yin specter now. My soul's Yin Qi is too heavy. In front of the pure Yang sword Qi, I have no way of resisting it. Without the protection of a body, my soul will soon dissipate!"
The swarthy youth lurked like a venomous snake. He was waiting for an opportunity. He noticed that after Yi Yun slashed out, Yi Yun's aura had weakened significantly. This was the opportunity for him to attack.
"That girl! She is that kid's weakness. If I attack or destroy that girl, that kid will definitely try his best to protect her. This should throw him into confusion. Once he is severely injured, it will be the best opportunity for me to attack. "
The swarthy youth thought through his plan. A sinister smile suffused on his lips. But before that, he needed to expend Yi Yun's stamina.
This was not difficult for him. As a Yin specter, he could summon evil spirits to help him in battle.
These evil spirits did not have high attack power, so killing them would not cause his body to suffer any backlash.
However, to kill these evil spirits, Yi Yun had to use pure Yang Qi every time. This was extremely draining for Yi Yun.
As long as Yi Yun's stamina was reduced to less than 40%, he could attack.
With a thought from the swarthy youth, there was a gust of Yin wind. Invisible evil spirits appeared out of thin air around him and flew towards Yi Yun.
"Hmph, if not for that bitch protecting the God Advent Tower, I would still have my body. It would be a piece of cake to finish this kid. I wouldn't need to go through so much trouble!"
The swarthy youth gritted his teeth as he muttered to himself. He hated the white-dressed female to the bone.
And just as the evil spirits charged at Yi Yun, the swarthy youth suddenly appeared. Yi Yun's figure turned slightly blurry.
Oh!?
The swarthy youth was alarmed. This is …
Compared to Yi Yun's blurry figure, Lin Xintong was still lying in Yi Yun's arms. However, what was supporting Lin Xintong's body was not Yi Yun's hand, but pure Yang energy!
No good!
The swarthy youth was greatly alarmed. Just as he was about to lunge forward, he heard a light "Pu" sound …
A broken sword that was burning with pure Yang flames pierced through his body and came out from his chest …
The swarthy youth looked in disbelief at the rusty broken sword in front of him. This scene was extremely unreal to him …
How … is this possible?
