Run?
In the face of five Return to Void Stage snow maidens with spatial manipulation abilities, escape was nothing more than a distant dream...
Fight?
Who could tell him how a Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivator like him was supposed to battle five Return to Void Stage mighty figures all at once? Just one Holy Palace Leader alone could take care of him... Five at once was an absolute f*cking joke!
An Lin knew that he and Xu Xiaolan had almost no chance of surviving this.
These snow maidens had never planned to split up as a tactic to deliver the Flame-Sealing Disc to the Holy Capital. From the very beginning, the Flame-Sealing Disc had always been under the control of their most powerful cultivators.
This plan not only allowed them to gather their most powerful cultivators at will, but it also separated all the forces from Vermilion Bird Sect, thereby completely escaping from their pursuit.
The color drained from Xu Xiaolan's face as she stared at the five Return to Void Stage snow maidens. She made her way to An Lin's side and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, An Lin. I swept you up in this battle that has nothing to do with you."
"Are you saying that I'm not a disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect then?"
An Lin turned to Xu Xiaolan and pinched her pale cheek with a smile.
Xu Xiaolan stared at An Lin, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face."To be able to die with you... I'm not too mad about that."
"We might not die." An Lin offered words of consolation.
A faint smile appeared on Qing Li's face."Oh? What gives you the confidence to believe in such a farcical illusion?"
The five Return to Void Stage mighty figures all unleashed their fearsome auras at once. These auras converged together before crashing toward An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.
An Lin felt as if his body had been crushed under a mountain. Right now, just trying to breathe was a difficult task.
Xu Xiaolan's body swayed as blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth.
...
Meanwhile, in a certain area of the glacial sea surrounding the Holy Glacial Lands.
The battle here caused the snow within a radius of several dozen kilometers to melt. Meanwhile, scorching heatwaves were radiating outward in all directions.
At the very center of the battle was a huge ball of red flames that floated in the air like a second sun.
An elder from the Vermilion Bird Sect activated the power of the ball of red flames and unleashed a torrent of attacks on the Holy Palace Leader before him. Each attack melted over a kilometer of ice on the ground.
"Cease your futile resistance. No one can escape from my Great Flame Realm." The elder clasped his hands behind his back, and the flame power emanating from his body was enough to make the entire sky collapse.
The snow maiden's clothes were in tatters, and blood was seeping from her mouth. She was clearly in dire straits, yet there was not even a hint of anxiety on her face.
"Heh, do you really think I can't get away?" A smug smile appeared on the snow maiden's face.
The elder's expression darkened."You still won't give up?"
He threw a punch, and boundless amounts of flames converged into a massive flaming fist which crashed toward the snow maiden.
The snow maiden slashed a gigantic frosty sword projection toward the fearsome flaming fist.
The two forces collided, causing the ground within a radius of several kilometers to crumble. In the end, however, the flames still managed to overwhelm the sword projection.
A faint smile appeared on the snow maiden's face as she threw up a mouthful of blood."The only reason I'm here is to lure you over and buy time for the others. I'll let you see just how badly you got played by us. Farewell, hahaha..."
She smiled and activated her blue talisman.
The elder thought she was going to use some type of escape technique, and he instantly sealed the space around them.
"Your actions won't amount to anything. Have you heard of Life Substitution?" The snow maiden shook her head expressionlessly.
She continued to activate her blue talisman as she spoke.
A full minute passed, yet she was still standing at the same spot. The snow maiden blinked in confusion.
Snow maiden: "..."
Why is there no reaction? Impossible!
Life Substitution only requires activation from one party to switch locations. So, why is there no reaction?
A thought suddenly occurred to the snow maiden at that moment, and her heart instantly sank.
Could it be... that the other snow maiden guarding the Flame-Sealing Disc is already dead?
Meanwhile, the elder had already become tired of waiting. He conjured up nine gargantuan balls of fire and sent them crashing down toward the snow maiden all at once...
...
An Lin didn't despair or give up as he faced off against the five Holy Palace Leaders. Instead, he racked his brain and tried to think of a way out of this dire situation.
"Xiaolan, run away from here as fast as you can! I have a way to break the spatial seal of the snow maidens. Make sure you take advantage of the moment that the spatial seal is broken to contact the elders. At the very least, you have to send our location to the rest of Vermilion Bird Sect members!" An Lin transmitted his voice to Xu Xiaolan.
"No problem, " Xu Xiaolan replied via voice transmission.
An Lin immediately released his two Gundams after receiving her reply.
"Gundam One, Gundam Two, hold them off!"
At the same time, Xu Xiaolan spread her golden wings of fire. Lightning enveloped her body as she flew away at top speed, and she recited a mantra as she went.
"This is what you were depending on?" Qing Li smiled faintly as she waved a slender arm through the air.
The two Gundams were instantly frozen solid before plummeting toward the ground.
The ever-reliable Gundams were no match for Qing Li.
Boom!
Right at this moment, An Lin spread his Wings of Wind and chased after Xu Xiaolan. Wisps of black mist exuded from his body, and his speed increased explosively as he hid a crimson nail up his sleeve.
One of the snow maidens behind them made a grabbing motion toward the space in the distance.
Crack...
A devastating spatial seal instantly immobilized An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, to the extent that they were unable to move even a single finger.
"Heh, how pathetic... Your pitiful speed is meaningless in our eyes." Qing Li shook her head with a complacent smile on her face.
Right at this moment, however, a bright crimson light started to burst forth from the Realm-Piercing Nail.
A crimson streak flashed through the air and shattered the spatial seal as if it were a sheet of brittle glass.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had regained their mobility!
"How..." The five snow maidens faltered slightly. They were all unable to comprehend what had just happened.
It was exactly at the same moment that a ball of golden fire rose into the air!
At the same time, an invisible aura rippled out from a voice transmission talisman and proliferated across heaven and earth!
Qing Li's expression changed drastically, and the projection of a Divine Azure Bird instantly appeared behind her. This projection was ten thousand feet in height, and an area of close to ten kilometers in radius was enveloped by a boundless azure-colored light.
"Azure Sound Deprivation Realm!"
A mystical power radiated outward at extreme speed, instantly shredding the invisible aura that Xu Xiaolan had projected using her voice transmission talisman!
The Holy Palace Leader with the white bead raised her arms, and a brilliant burst of light instantly erupted from the bead. In the blink of an eye, her body pierced through the air for several kilometers and immediately arrived before the ball of golden flames that was blasting into the sky. Then, she furiously slapped down toward the golden flames!
The power of extreme frost froze the air within a one-kilometer radius of the golden ball of flames, thereby reducing it to a wisp of smoke.
"Phew... Looks like we underestimated them... They almost pulled one on us..." There was a hint of lingering fear on Qing Li's face.
Xu Xiaolan's expression changed drastically as she attempted to recite the mantra for the second time.
At this moment, a snow maiden who had a massive hole in her stomach suddenly appeared before her. She ruthlessly swatted a palm toward Xu Xiaolan.
An immensely terrifying palm projection crushed down at Xu Xiaolan and pulverized the flames and lightning around her. Then, it shattered all of her internal organs!
Blood stained Xu Xiaolan's Jade Barley Ink Garment red as she plummeted feebly toward the ground.
Right at this moment, the snow maiden holding the white bead also swatted a palm toward Xu Xiaolan.
The icy palm was over one kilometer in length, and it obscured the entire sky above as it descended upon Xu Xiaolan with devastating destructive force.
"Xu Xiaolan!"
An Lin roared in rage as the Origin Energy of the Netherworld merged with the lightning power of An Kirin. A golden robe materialized over his body as his aura once again climbed explosively.
This was his final trump card, and he had no choice but to use it now.
Lightning exploded, and he tore through the air before arriving beside Xu Xiaolan in an instant. He gently cradled her into his arms.
"Piss off!"
An Lin roared in fury as a bolt of Golden Void Lightning burst forth from his Evil-Slaying Sword. The entire sky was painted gold as a lightning sword projection—which was capable of tearing through space itself—slashed toward the gigantic icy palm.
The golden lightning sword projection continued upward before colliding with the icy palm.
The two destructive forces clashed, causing space itself to tremble and quake as gale-force winds swept up around them.
In the end, the golden lightning sword projection pierced through the icy palm before continuing on toward the snow maiden with the white bead.
The five Return to Void Stage snow maidens were all shocked upon seeing this.
The white bead flashed, and a huge wall of ice appeared in front of the snow maiden.
Boom!
Powerful lightning burst forth, tearing through the wall of ice and forcing the snow maiden to retreat several hundred meters.
This was the first time the snow maiden had been forced into retreat by a Soul Formation Stage cultivator. A hint of indignant rage appeared on her face.
The remaining four snow maidens were also extremely shocked at what they were witnessing.
An Lin hugged Xu Xiaolan to himself as he carved out a path of escape with all his might. The snow maiden with the stomach injury was the closest to them, and she was also the first snow maiden to come to her senses. She immediately unleashed another palm toward An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.
"Falling Frost Immortal-Slaying Palm!"
Another gargantuan icy palm descended toward An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.
An Lin lashed out at the giant palm with his Evil-Slaying Sword, and golden lightning burst forth again with extremely devastating destructive power.
However, the snow maiden had unleashed her full power, and the power imbued within her palm had already reached an extremely terrifying degree. Despair gripped at An Lin's heart.
The Falling Frost Immortal-Slaying Palm vanquished the golden lightning and crashed down toward An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.
An Lin held Xu Xiaolan tightly to his chest as he shielded her with his back. Xu Xiaolan's lips moved, yet her injuries prevented her from being able to speak. She could only gaze up with a blank expression as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled violently as the huge Falling Frost Immortal-Slaying Palm crushed An Lin and Xu Xiaolan into the ground and created a massive crater.
