"Swish!" A gray chain swept out, shattering the ice and snow on the bodies of the two Shi brothers, and at the same time, it shattered the ice butterflies that were attached to them, then pulled the two back to the center of the group.
"Te... te..." The two brothers, who had almost died before they could even fight, were shivering all over and could hardly speak.
"By the decree of the Lord of Mount Tai, summon the Five Ghosts!" Seeing the situation turn bad, Dao Wuchang took out a bronze bell wrapped in deathly aura and activated his most skilled Netherworld Daoist technique, "Five Ghosts Transport."
Five ghostly corpses with wide-open mouths and bodies full of deathly aura appeared beside Dao Wuchang, then rushed towards the ice butterflies that were dancing gracefully.
These ghostly corpses were different from the Shi brothers; they were in a semi-physical, semi-ghostly state, with claws that carried intense corpse poison, immense strength, and no fear of life or death. They were always Dao Wuchang's trump card. The fact that he summoned them so quickly proved how great a threat these beautiful ice butterflies posed to him.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" In a series of continuous collisions, countless ice butterflies turned into powder, and in just a few seconds, all the ice butterflies were completely destroyed.
However, Dao Wuchang's face did not improve; instead, it became even more grim.
Because, in his treasure mirror, the light points representing hostile creatures did not disappear but increased instead.
"How is this possible!" Looking at the silver ice crystal powder, Dao Wuchang felt a chill down his back. Even the Five Ghosts could not harm these ice butterflies, which was the worst news he could have received.
"Drink it." Mei Xue took out a medicinal wine from her medicine bag and forced Shi Da and Shi Er to drink it.
However, it was useless. Even after drinking the strong wine that could make a half-dead person jump up, there was no sign of Shi Da and Shi Er's muscles softening. They remained as stiff as dried meat that had been frozen for years, like dead men.
"These are not the monsters from Qianye." Old Li felt the pulses of Shi Da and Shi Er. He had acted as quickly as possible to save them, but the attributes of these unknown ice butterflies were too bizarre, and he was still a step too late.
"Muscle necrosis, we must get them out for emergency treatment immediately, or they will soon suffer heart and lung failure." Mei Xue gave a very grim diagnosis. In fact, if the two brothers were not body cultivators, they would have died the moment they were completely frozen.
From the frostbite marks on their bodies, the temperature at that moment must have been as terrifying as an icy hell, instantly consuming their abundant blood and qi. If Old Li had acted any slower, the two would have become frozen corpses.
However, the current condition of the two was not optimistic. To put it mildly, they had lost half their lives; to put it bluntly, Mei Xue did not think they could last until the group left.
In fact, the entire group's situation was not optimistic. If the ice butterflies had a stronger sense of attacking, they would have been wiped out already.
"This is really bad luck. Qing Sheng, I'm sorry, this is the first time I've brought you into the team, and we've encountered this misfortune." Huang Fei wiped his sweat, his fat body trembling, and a faint flame flickered in his breath.
"You're still chatting!" Dao Wuchang, who was commanding the Five Ghosts to repeatedly shatter the reviving ice butterflies, was drenched in sweat, his eyes wide with anger, looking at Huang Fei and Mei Xue. Didn't these people know that the ice butterflies were here to kill them!
"Old Li, which direction is safer?" Huang Fei's body was trembling slightly, and the muscles on his hands, which were already somewhat defined, were glowing with fire, a massive power ready to be unleashed.
That was his hidden trump card, the power of the 97th Dragon Jade. Although he had only mastered a small part of this power, it was already something he had never dared to dream of.
In the end, one must rely on oneself.
"If this is still the second level of Qianye, the boundary tower should be in the north." Old Li spoke more words than usual, clearly indicating that the situation had become unpredictable even for him.
"Then we have no choice but to take a gamble. Qing Sheng, let's charge together." Huang Fei raised his hands, which were becoming more defined.
The power sealed in the Dragon Jade he obtained was a Daoist technique called "Invisible Fist," characterized by "fist out of nowhere, killing from a hundred paces." Although it seemed like a martial art for mortals, it was actually an extremely powerful offensive technique, capable of shattering mountains and rivers when fully mastered.
He had only reached the beginner level of this technique, but it already possessed extraordinary power. More importantly, it was a fire-based fist technique.
If he was not mistaken... The tendons and bones in Huang Fei's hands turned a deep red, and a fierce and invincible aura soared into the sky.
That was his aura, the aura of the 97th Fist Emperor!
"Unchang, open the path to the north!" Enduring the pain of his hands almost splitting, Huang Fei roared, this was a matter of life and death!
"By the decree of the Lord of Mount Tai, Five Ghosts, clear the path!" Dao Wuchang gritted his teeth, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the bronze bell in his hand.
"Roar!" The claws of the five ghostly corpses grew longer and broke through the northern encirclement of the ice butterflies.
"Go!" Without waiting for Huang Fei to shout, everyone rushed out of the encirclement.
Leading the way was Dao Wuchang, who was controlling the Five Ghosts to clear the path. In the middle were Mei Xue and Xiao Liu, the pharmacists, with Shi Da and Shi Er, who were in a state of rigor mortis, tied together by Old Li's chain. At the rear was Huang Fei.
The ice butterflies that had been shattered by the Five Ghosts began to revive and curiously followed them.
"I knew it wouldn't be that easy." Huang Fei's face had turned blood red, and his hands even emitted a smell of roasted meat, a sign that the fire power had reached its limit.
When the ice butterflies flew over, Huang Fei roared and unleashed his newly mastered ultimate move.
"Take this! Invisible Flame Divine Fist!"
Countless scorching red fist shadows turned into thousands of steel fists, smashing into the dancing ice butterflies. Each hit caused an explosion, like a ball of molten lava bursting into countless flames.
"This is my fist, Huang Fei's fist! You will all die! Huang Fei felt that this punch had released all his pent-up frustration, the sense of release was so intense that he almost forgot he was in a dire situation.
This wave of Invisible Fist was undoubtedly the strongest and most magnificent Invisible Fist he had ever used.
Dao Wuchang looked at his treasure mirror and saw that a part of the dense ice butterfly swarm had indeed been eliminated, about one-fifth.
Clearly, to deal with these icy creatures, fire-based Daoist techniques were necessary. His Five Ghosts Transport technique was yin-based and not effective against the ice butterflies.
"Good, A Fei, five more punches and we can solve the problem!"
Five more punches... Huang Fei looked at his almost charred fists with a bitter smile. He could not even produce a small flame now, let alone five more punches.
Sigh, if he had known, he would not have pretended and would have just run away.
"Swish!" A gray chain wrapped around Huang Fei's waist, pulling him into the fleeing group.
Perhaps because of the powerful Invisible Flame Divine Fist Huang Fei had just used, the ice butterflies did not immediately chase them but gathered at the spot where the butterflies Huang Fei had eliminated were, seemingly studying how their companions had been destroyed.
"By the decree of the Lord of Mount Tai, Five Ghosts, divine speed!" Seeing a glimmer of hope, Dao Wuchang did not hesitate to use the escape technique in the Five Ghosts Transport, making the five ghostly corpses combine into a strange ghost beast, which rushed towards the northern edge of the snowfield at lightning speed.
Clearly, he did not intend to stay here any longer. Once he found the boundary tower to return, he would immediately teleport away from this cursed Qianye secret realm.
For someone with a bright future, he could not die in such a place. He was not like Shi Da and Shi Er, who came from humble backgrounds, but a genuine noble. In this group, only Huang Fei's family background could match his.
As for Xiao Liu, who was dressed in luxurious immortal clothing, Dao Wuchang completely ignored her. He would not admit that he had misjudged her. No matter where she came from, a woman was always just a woman, a plaything for men.
"Cough... This guy is running so fast, he's going to reincarnate..." The weak and powerless Huang Fei looked at Dao Wuchang's fleeing figure and felt a mix of amusement and frustration.
"Qing Sheng, it's up to you now." After using his trump card to intimidate the ice butterflies, Huang Fei could only rely on Mei Xue and the mysterious Xiao Liu to break this deadlock, or they would all be wiped out.
In the icy snow, the ghost beast formed by the Five Ghosts ran wildly. For the tireless ghostly corpses, running for three days and three nights was no problem.
Soon, a simple boundary tower appeared in front of Dao Wuchang, the hope of leaving this terrifying icy world.
"Ha ha ha, I'm saved!" Dao Wuchang drove his ghost beast, rushing madly towards the towering boundary tower in the icy world.
However, the sky was unpredictable. On Dao Wuchang's path forward, a well suddenly appeared.
Dao Wuchang's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the well that had suddenly appeared on his path.
What is this thing!
How could this thing appear here when there was nothing here just now.
Never mind, jump over it! Dao Wuchang shook the bronze bell in his hand, and the ghost beast's four feet suddenly stomped, jumping over the well—so he thought.
But just as he and the ghost beast were airborne, a pair of icy hands reached out from the well, firmly grabbing his foot.
This scene was seen clearly by Mei Xue and the others behind.
"Ah! Save me!" Dao Wuchang, who had abandoned Mei Xue and the others to escape alone, let out a heart-wrenching cry for help.
Unfortunately, because of Dao Wuchang's desertion, he was too far from Mei Xue and the others, so far that even Old Li's chain could not reach him.
So, when the ghostly hands pulled Dao Wuchang and his ghost beast into the well, everyone was powerless—except for Lord Xiao Liu of Qingxu.
If Dao Wuchang had been nicer to Mei Xue and protected her more during the battle, Xiao Liu might have been in a good mood and helped him. Unfortunately, none of that happened, so Dao Wuchang could only cry and wail as he was pulled into the well by the white hands.
"Splash!" The sound of a body hitting the water and a few heart-wrenching cries echoed, and the icy world returned to its initial silence. For mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
