Hmph!

Ice merely snorted in response to his words. Her huge pair of wings continuously flapped, producing snowflakes because of her inherent coldness.

"That... How did such a creature suddenly appear?!"

"You moron! That's the little girl in Wine Master Jiu's embrace earlier! She transformed into a beautiful white tiger in just a blink of an eye! Who would have thought that she was actually a savage beast with great power..."

Elder Ming carefully stared at Ice as he silently gauged her power. In his mind, he was evaluating Ice's cultivation level and he also compared it to his own. He was confident that their raw power was almost on par, but he was feeling slightly perturb because there was still a certain someone who has yet to show his power.

'Fuck! This little girl is actually a Nascent God Realm savage beast! Do I have to postpone my attack on the Silver Wing Empire?! No way! But that brat Jiu Shen has yet to attack... What if he is also a Nascent God Realm expert?' He cursed in his heart. He was hesitating at this moment, and this was definitely not a good sign.

He has waited many years for this day. He planned for this scheme for so long, and just as he thought that he had already taken a grasp of everything, he suddenly discovered this duo trying to mess everything that he had painstakingly planned.

Ice opened her mouth, creating tens of ice arrows that shot towards Elder Ming instantaneously.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Elder Ming snarled and long sharp claws suddenly extended from his knuckles. Those claws looked deadly and incredibly sharp. Anyone would be turned to shreds if they were hit by these claws.

Elder Ming slashed the ice arrows with his claws. He seemed to have done it casually, but he knew that every time he had hit those ice arrows, chilling coldness seeped through his arms! The extreme coldness he was feeling made his movements slow down as time goes by, but he refused to back down at this instant! He did not want all of his efforts to go down the drainage!

A few ice arrows managed to impale Elder Ming, causing him to groan.

"Fuck!" He cursed as he pulled out the ice arrows from his body. He then glared coldly at the massive Glacial Sovereign Tiger in front of him.

Elder Ming knew that he was now at a disadvantage, but he felt slightly reluctant to retreat. After all, he had spent many gears to formulate everything, so how could he easily give up on it?!

"God fucking dammit!" Elder Ming shouted angrily. His figure disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind Ice all of a sudden. He was so fast that everyone down below was yet to discover where he was. Only Jiu Shen was able to clearly see his movements.

Ice snorted once again. She fiercely flapped her wings, creating freezing gales that swept towards Elder Ming's figure.

Countless ice shards and snowflakes dotted the skies as Ice turned to cast another attack by a mere wave of her claws.

Elder Ming's eyes turned red upon facing this scene. He gritted his teeth as he poured out his true essence! He might die if he was careless, so he might as well bring out everything he had!

"DIE!!!!!" He shouted maliciously as he brandished his claws at Ice's figure.

Ten streaks of dark claw lights tore through the skies, shooting swiftly towards Ice. The sky turned dark after this attack, and everyone on the battlefield held their breaths at this fearsome sight!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Multiple ice shards shattered upon direct contact with the ten streaks of dark claw lights.

Ice opened her mouth and spat a huge ice spear. It looked slightly incorporeal, but it almost looked life-like with its transparent white color as if it was carved out of a glacier.

Swoosh!

The ice spear collided with the ten claw lights!

Booooommmmm!!!

Everyone held unto something to prevent themselves from being thrown away, but even with their efforts, some of them were still flung away by the strong winds!

Elder Ming's eyes turned bloodshot after seeing his strongest attack dissipating after clashing with that gigantic ice spear and it only managed to reduce half the size of the spear and it continued to travel towards him like a flash of lightning!

Pu!

His shoulder was accurately hit by the spear, skewering him in the process!

Aaarrghhh!!!

Elder Ming used his true essence to melt the ice spear impaled on his shoulder. He emitted a pained scream as he clutched the bloody fist-size hole that unceasingly spurted blood.

I have to retreat! Shit!

Elder Ming thought as he fearfully glanced at the Glacial Sovereign Tiger. He gritted his teeth while holding back the pain in his shoulder. He could already feel it going numbed and he could hardly move his right arm. Every time he tried to move his right arm, a crippling pain would follow. It was so excruciating that he almost passed out!

Elder Ming hurriedly turned around and fled from the scene. He did not even glance at his comrades who were looking at his fleeing silhouette with wide eyes. They were dumbfounded to see this happen.

Elder Ming, who they thought was an undefeatable being turned tail and fled? How was that possible?!

"You want to escape?! Foolish old man!" Ice's beastly voice echoed chillingly. She pounced at the retreating Elder Ming with a wide-open mouth that sported two sets of sharp serrated teeth.

Ah!

Elder Ming cried out in fear when he sensed that he was being chased.

"Is this real? I think I'm dreaming..." Xue Yangkun muttered with a dazed look. His pair of murky eyes resembled that of a dead fish's soulless eyes.

Xue Yangkai remained silent, but the confidence that he had earlier can no longer be seen.

Both men did not feel safe despite having two corpse puppets at the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint. If someone like Elder Ming was beaten like an idiot, then how would they end up with their meager cultivation level?

At that moment, they suddenly felt their hearts sinking into oblivion.
