"The Thousand-Year-Old Unicorn Lizard has arrived!"
Xu Xiaoyu exclaimed with delight. Zhang Yangzi in the sky gestured to them, indicating that the Thousand-Year-Old Unicorn Lizard had reached the entrance to the valley below.
"Proceed according to plan!"
Xu Xiaoyu said to Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng. Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng nodded and stepped forward. The moment the Thousand-Year-Old Unicorn Lizard entered the valley, Wang Jinxi immediately activated his Martial Soul, his right hand transforming into a giant bone claw that slammed down on the prepared boulder.
"Rumble!"
Two boulders rolled down the mountainside like thunder, carrying away rubble from the steep slope, like a toppled dominoes. The force of the boulders grew stronger and stronger, eventually turning into a landslide.
"Cough cough!"
A cloud of dust rose from the valley entrance, and the people on the mountaintop covered their noses.
When the dust settled, the entire entrance to the valley was blocked by rubble. This small valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides and only about a hundred meters wide, had its entrance blocked, turning it into an open-air living coffin.
"Roar~"
At this moment, the thousand-year-old unicorn lizard realized it had been tricked by the human.
The lizard swept its long tail across the pile of boulders at the entrance, sending rubble flying. It had actually cleared a small portion of the large area of rubble at the entrance.
It worked!
The thousand-year-old unicorn lizard was overjoyed and raised its tail, ready to repeat the trick. Suddenly, an ice-blue wheel descended from the sky.
"Buzz!"
The two- or three-meter-long ice wheel spun rapidly in the air, violently rubbing against the air and emitting a buzzing sound.
The ice wheel collided with the thousand-year-old unicorn lizard's tail, producing a series of piercing cracking sounds. The ice blades around the wheel continuously grazed the thousand-year-old unicorn lizard's skin, leaving only white marks.
"Roar!"
The thousand-year-old unicorn lizard roared, its tail whipping out and shattering the ice wheel. The shards fell to the ground, releasing plumes of cold smoke.
"Hmph! You beast, your hide is quite thick!"
Xu Xiaoyu, atop the mountain, sneered at the struggling unicorn lizard below. Having finally lured it here, how could he let it escape?
"I'll use you to test my third soul skill!"
Xu Xiaoyu's face was cold and arrogant. He raised his blue staff high, and three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—rose behind him, the purple ring twitching slightly.
At the tip of Xu Xiaoyu's staff, countless ice-attribute energies began to gather, gradually condensing in the air into a snow-white ice spear.
Wrath of Ice!
This was Xu Xiaoyu's third soul skill, a powerful single-target attack soul skill of the thousand-year level, and the first time he had used it in actual combat since advancing to Soul Master.
The ice spear was about two meters long, its shaft wreathed in wisps of snow-white demonic runes, exuding a terrifying aura. Just hovering in the air, the sheer chill emanating from it sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.
"Take this!"
Xu Xiaoyu's eyes flashed coldly, and she pointed her ice staff at the thousand-year-old unicorn lizard below. The ice spear instantly transformed into a streak of light, shooting downwards with lightning speed.
Seeing the oncoming ice spear, the thousand-year-old unicorn lizard's eyes showed a hint of seriousness. It spewed a blazing flame from its mouth to meet the ice spear head-on.
But how could a small fireball possibly stop an ice spear imbued with the majority of Xu Xiaoyu's Soul Master's soul power?
"Whoosh!"
The ice spear forcefully extinguished the fireball, piercing the thousand-year-old unicorn lizard's abdomen amidst its terrified gaze.
The thousand-year-old unicorn lizard's rock-hard hide was like a paper fence pierced by this icy spear.
"Boom!"
The thousand-year-old unicorn lizard's massive body swayed a few times before finally crashing to the ground.
A huge wound, over a meter wide, appeared on the abdomen of the thousand-year-old unicorn lizard, surrounded by a thin layer of ice.
Seeing that the lizard was barely breathing, Xu Xiaoyu quickly led Xu Xiaoyan down the valley.
The group followed the slope into the valley, and Zhang Yangzi, who had been watching the show from the sky, also flew down.
"Brother Xu is really amazing!"
Wang Jinxi chuckled and flattered.
Xu Xiaoyu's arrogance grew even stronger; this kid was quite perceptive.
"Go! Little sister, take care of it!"
Xu Xiaoyu said, looking at the unicorn lizard ahead. But after a long time, he didn't hear a response from Xu Xiaoyan.
"Little sister?"
Xu Xiaoyu turned around in confusion, suddenly filled with anger.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan had been kidnapped by Zhang Yangzi and his two companions, her entire body tightly bound by a green vine, and her mouth stuffed with cotton.
"Ugh~"
Xu Xiaoyan lay on the ground, mumbling incoherently, her big, soft eyes looking at Xu Xiaoyu with watery eyes.
The group was at least dozens of meters away from Xu Xiaoyu, and he had no confidence in rescuing her without harming her.
Damn it! The three's obedience along the way had made him lower his guard for a moment.
"What are you three doing? Didn't we agree that you'd lure the Thousand-Year-Old Unicorn Lizard for me, and I'd hunt soul beasts for you? Let Xiaoyan go!"
Xu Xiaoyu forced a smile.
Although dying on this beginner-level Spirit Ascension Platform would just mean getting out, how could he bear to let his younger sister suffer such injustice?
"Bullshit! Do you think we're stupid? Why should we believe you?"
Wang Jinxi cursed, disgusted by the constant calling him "Brother Xu" all the way.
"Give us this Thousand-Year-Old Unicorn Lizard!"
Zhang Yangzi pointed to the lizard not far away and made their demand.
Xu Xiaoyu wanted to use them, but weren't the three of them also trying to use Xu Xiaoyu as a powerful source of free labor?
"Impossible!"
Xu Xiaoyu said angrily.
When did it become his turn to work for free? This was a blatant slap in the face; he, the young master of the Xu family, couldn't bear such a disgrace.
"Say something! Let your good brother hear it!"
Wang Jinxi bent down and removed the cotton from Xu Xiaoyan's mouth, then stomped on her without a shred of pity.
"Brother~ Waaah!"
As Wang Jinxi's foot tightened, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes welled up with tears, as if they were about to fall.
"You're courting death!"
Xu Xiaoyu exuded a chilling aura, her black eyes fixed on the three of them, wishing she could slice them to pieces with ice blades.
"I'm so scared!"
Wang Jinxi shrank back, feigning fear. His act was incredibly exaggerated!
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Yangzi and the others burst into laughter, their eyes full of mockery as they looked at Xu Xiaoyu.
Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, Lin Xuan silently moved to the upper left of the group.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
Lin Xuan witnessed the entire sequence of events and couldn't help but marvel.
