After breaking through to Soul Douluo, Shen Hanyu's speed had increased by yet another level. Not to mention that his second martial soul innately possessed the ability to fly, when fully activated, it was no inferior to the speed of some Title Douluo. From an outsider's perspective, he appeared like a streak of flowing light briefly crossing the horizon, vanishing without a trace in mere moments.
The wind and snow high in the sky were clearly far more violent than below, yet they did not affect Shen Hanyu's forward speed in the slightest. Behind him, a pair of gorgeous dual-colored dragon wings flapped, drawing in the ice and fire attribute energies from the surrounding heaven and earth. This even briefly caused noticeable changes in the nearby weather.
It was undoubtedly astonishing.
Looking down from high altitude, Shen Hanyu sporadically noticed quite a few soul beasts. He even spotted a massive Unicorner Ice Demon Rhino and a Snow Domain Giant engaged in fierce combat.
The Unicorner Ice Demon Rhino initially held the upper hand thanks to its powerful physique and strength, but the Snow Domain Giant's speed and intelligence were not for show either.
Relying on its clever mind, the Snow Domain Giant, despite having slightly fewer years of cultivation, managed to fight the rhino blow for blow. Before long, both were covered in bloodstains, and their stamina began to rapidly decline. In the end, the Unicorner Ice Demon Rhino realized the situation was turning bad and promptly turned tail and fled.
Its intelligence wasn't high, but it still possessed a basic sense for danger.
Fleeing now was its best choice; otherwise, if the fight continued, it would likely end up as the Snow Domain Giant's dinner that very night.
In contrast, although the Snow Domain Giant also bore numerous wounds, they were far from life-threatening. Watching the fleeing Unicorner Ice Demon Rhino, it let out an angry roar but did not pursue. Instead, like a hunting dog, it sniffed the air, then turned its ferocious gaze toward Shen Hanyu, who was standing on a distant snow mountain.
Shen Hanyu frowned slightly. He truly hadn't expected this big fellow's sense of smell to be so keen, detecting him so quickly despite the vast distance.
However… it would soon regret that choice for the rest of its life.
......
A furious and savage roar echoed abruptly across the empty snowfield. The Snow Domain Giant's ten-meter-tall body arrived in front of Shen Hanyu at an astonishing speed.
A massive palm, even larger than Shen Hanyu himself and covered in thick white fur, slammed down toward him. Shen Hanyu sidestepped lightly, not even allowing the scattered snow and ice to land on him.
A dazzling spear beam shot skyward, and the Snow Domain Giant's giant palm was directly severed. Crimson blood poured down like a waterfall, the exposed tendons and flesh instantly frosting over in the shortest possible time.
The Snow Domain Giant let out a sky-shaking wail of pain. Its enormous body staggered back several steps, sharp fangs faintly visible within its gaping maw. Its sturdy frame trembled from the intense agony.
Shen Hanyu showed no mercy. In the next instant, he circulated his soul power and soared upward. The Cold Heaven Spear in his hand was hurled with terrifying force, transforming into a streak of light that pierced straight through the Snow Domain Giant's brain.
In that moment, red, yellow, and white matter splattered onto the snow, creating a shocking and gruesome sight.
The Snow Domain Giant's massive body slowly toppled, the impact of its fall even causing the surrounding ground to tremble slightly.
Shen Hanyu retrieved his Cold Heaven Spear. After confirming that no soul bone had appeared, he quickly departed. The environment here was too harsh; he had no desire to linger for a day or two.
Having dealt with the Snow Domain Giant, this bird that had stuck its neck out only to die, Shen Hanyu continued flying deeper without encountering any particularly troublesome soul beasts. However, his sharp perception soon caused him to frown from afar. After a brief hesitation, he slightly adjusted his direction. With a flap of his wings, he dispersed the perpetual ice fog around him, making the faintly visible scene below a little clearer.
At the same time, Shen Hanyu finally got a clear look at the group of people below.
It was five beautiful women with outstanding appearances. Three of them radiated the energy fluctuations of Soul Emperors. Leading them was a woman whose feet glowed with seven soul rings in the optimal configuration; she was clearly a Soul Sage-level expert. Protected in the center by the other four was a woman with a weak aura; her blue-and-white dress had been completely dyed red with blood, appearing exceptionally bewitching.
Not far behind the five women followed a massive white giant wolf, its ferocious eyes filled with greed and hunger.
Shen Hanyu hovered in mid-air, sizing up the wolf that was over eight meters long.
After a moment of thought, he recalled that this was a soul beast called the Snow Wolf, quite common in the Extreme North. However, judging by its enormous size, its cultivation had already exceeded sixty thousand years, a rare specimen indeed. No wonder these human women couldn't defeat it.
The leading Soul Sage woman occasionally turned to observe the beast, her face somewhat pale. She said something to the three uninjured women behind her, then resolutely stopped in her tracks. The seventh black soul ring at her feet lit up, and her entire body became much lighter.
A pair of antlers carved from white jade slowly emerged atop her head. Her body gained some snow-white fur, and a snowy deer tail swayed gently behind her, exceedingly endearing.
Snow Spirit Deer martial soul!
Shen Hanyu recognized it almost instantly. As one of the few deer-type martial souls suited for combat, the Snow Spirit Deer enjoyed considerable fame in the Extreme North. Yet this was the first time Shen Hanyu had encountered a human possessing it, especially a Soul Sage at that.
However, looking at her attire, Shen Hanyu's gaze turned strange. If he remembered correctly, wasn't that the teacher's uniform of Skywater Academy? If it truly was, then this was indeed a peculiar twist of fate.
As the fifth soul ring of the Snow Spirit Deer Soul Sage lit up, a massive white magic array appeared above the Snow Wolf King's head. Wisps of cold air emanated from the array. In the next moment, countless sharp ice swords rained down from the sky like falling meteors, carrying thick killing intent.
The Snow Wolf King raised its head and let out an angry howl. Rather than fleeing wildly, it chose to withstand the barrage head-on.
Shen Hanyu frowned slightly. After carefully sensing it, he murmured:
"Soul skill lock-on, huh… that's rare…"
As the rain of ice swords gradually dissipated, numerous wounds appeared on the Snow Wolf King's body. Blood flowed freely, adding splashes of crimson to its white fur.
The Snow Wolf King licked the largest wound on its right shoulder, then slowly walked toward the Snow Spirit Deer Soul Sage, acting as though it were completely unfazed…
