Watching the three 6-Star Dou Zong plummet from the sky, Liu Xi's eyes glimmered with admiration. The newly ascended Dou Zun Xiao Yixian was simply terrifyingly strong—enough to make anyone envious. Three 6-Star Dou Zong experts, gone just like that. Even if he went all out, he could at best fight one of them to the death.
And that's fighting to the death—not like before, when he could only injure, not kill.
That was already an incredible feat. Across the continent, how many people could possess the strength to slay a 6-Star Dou Zong while only at the 1-Star Dou Zong level?
'Wait… doesn't that mean even now, in Xian'er's eyes, I'm just a flick of her finger away from being flattened? Ugh… reality's cruel enough to make a man cry.'
While Liu Xi was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve. Turning, he found Zi Yan standing there. "Big Brother, what were you two doing that got interrupted? It seemed really important. When you and Sister Xian'er came out of the altar, you both looked like you were ready to kill someone!"
Zi Yan held his sleeve, her delicate brows furrowing in concern.
Liu Xi's smile remained unchanged. He couldn't exactly explain that kind of thing to her, so he could only say, "It's nothing serious. Just something that really pissed me off—and it's all thanks to these bastards!"
Suddenly, Yao Tianhuo's amused, knowing laugh echoed. "Haha… broad daylight, huh? A Dou Zong commanding a Dou Zun—truly impressive…"
Liu Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "Elder Yao, you know too much."
Cough cough. "Old me? I know nothing… and remember even less…"
After calming Zi Yan, Liu Xi lifted his gaze toward the battlefield. The instant annihilation of the three Dou Zong elders made Elder Tian She's face twist in horror. His cane creaked under his grip as his old hands trembled. Even as a 9-Star Dou Zong, he was powerless before a Dou Zun—just like a child before his Valley Master or that other old monster in the Ice River Valley.
'Damn it! That idiot said the enemy's strongest was only a 7-Star Dou Zong! If I survive this, I'll skin him alive!'
Gritting his teeth, Elder Tian She's eyes darted around before he bellowed, "All Ice River Valley members—form the Skyfrost Formation!"
"Yes!"
From all directions, fifty Ice River Valley enforcers—at the Dou Huang and Dou Wang level—who had been frozen in fear suddenly found purpose again, answering in unison.
In the next instant, fifty figures began forming hand seals simultaneously, their movements uniform and practiced, clearly showing rigorous training. As the seals quickened, frigid energy erupted from their bodies, intertwining and freezing the air itself.
The surrounding temperature plummeted, snow beginning to fall as frost spread across the sky.
Elder Tian She's old face grew stern, though he knew full well this formation couldn't truly trap a Dou Zun.
Because of that, he did the only thing left—he ran. Spinning around, his cane sliced through the air, a surge of Dou Qi bursting forth as he tried to open a dark spatial corridor.
But Xiao Yixian's amethyst eyes gleamed coldly. This culprit—how could he be allowed to escape? Her slender jade hands came together. No violent surge of energy burst forth—only faint silver-white light quietly gathered between her palms. The space before her warped, twisting light itself as chaotic ripples spread outward.
"Scatter."
A soft command fell from her lips.
Ripples spread from her palms, growing faster, fiercer—until they became overwhelming waves that burst outward one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first wave cleared the frost and cold.
The second shattered the Skyfrost Formation.
The third crushed the Ice River Valley enforcers.
Before a single scream could escape, fifty Dou Huang and Dou Wang experts were pulverized into drifting blood mist, their bodies exploding into red fog under the crushing tide.
Xiao Yixian extended her hand. Her pale fingers curled lightly, and an invisible wave of spatial power spread out.
The spatial tunnel Elder Tian She had barely managed to open began to collapse before it could stabilize.
Elder Tian She's face darkened. He roared in fury, releasing all his Dou Qi, biting his tongue to spit out blood essence that merged with the collapsing tunnel. The blood dyed the dark passage red as he tried desperately to force it open. He knew—if he didn't escape, he was dead.
Xiao Yixian's lips curved slightly. Though she had only just broken through from 4-Star Dou Zong to 1-Star Dou Zun, when it came to mastery over space—ten 9-Star Dou Zong couldn't compare.
(Except, perhaps, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.)
Her skirt billowed without wind. Terrifying spatial power surged outward, thickening the air like mercury and crushing the tunnel into nothingness.
Elder Tian She grunted, reeling from the backlash as blood spilled from his lips. Turning toward Xiao Yixian, his aged face twisted into a pitiful smile as he hurriedly yielded.
"Haha… respected one, this is all a misunderstanding. The deaths of my Ice River Valley elders—we can overlook that. Please, for the sake of my Valley Master, show mercy. I'll leave right away!"
Xiao Yixian hovered in midair, her tone calm and cold as her gaze fell on him.
"I don't know who your Valley Master is, and I don't care. Young Master said he wanted to vent his anger. So be good—let me kill you. It'll be quick. It won't hurt much."
Elder Tian She's face darkened further. 'What kind of twisted logic is that?!' A string of curses burned on his tongue, but he dared not speak them.
"Esteemed one, please reconsider. Our Valley Master is a seasoned Dou Zun, and the Ice River Valley commands countless experts. Offending us will bring you no good end!"
Xiao Yixian took a light step forward. Ripples spread beneath her feet, distance meaningless before a Dou Zun.
"If I weren't a Dou Zun today, would you have spared us?"
Her figure flickered—disappearing, then reappearing before Elder Tian She. Her slender jade hand rose and pressed forward gently.
To Elder Tian She, it was as if a mountain fell upon him. His pupils shrank, and with a final surge of madness, he roared, "Don't think that breaking through hides what you are—the Woeful Poison Body! The Valley Master will never spare you! Ice Sovereign Force—Frozen Heaven Palm!"
Reversing his blood and Dou Qi, Elder Tian She's face flushed crimson as he unleashed his full power. A storm of frost swept forth, freezing even space itself in spreading layers of ice.
Boom!
Their palms collided with the sound of thunder. Xiao Yixian's expression didn't change; her arm didn't even waver.
Elder Tian She, however, was sent flying backward, blood mixed with organ fragments spraying from his mouth. The overwhelming energy tore through his body, crushing all vitality within.
His dimming eyes trembled as he reached a shaking hand toward Xiao Yixian's cold face. "The… Valley Master… won't… spare you… Woeful… Poison… Body…"
