Chapter 1024 – Breakthrough!
Without any warning or sound before the footsteps appeared, the person was already standing at the door when the footsteps appeared. This person was standing there with his face hidden from the light. It could only be seen that he was not very tall, and he was also carrying a lot of human heads.
“Who is it!”
Ma Jue shouted, with a wave of his hand, a few shining pearls flew out, shining clearly on that man’s face.
“Old General Huang?”
Ma Jue’s expression suddenly changed, and quickly rushed over to support Huang Ao. At this moment, the old general was covered in bruises and his armor was damaged. The head in his hand was still dripping blood, and he was swaying so much that he couldn’t even stand straight.
“Old General, how are you?”
At this time, seeing Huang Ao catching up, his heart was moved and filled with warmth. If not for Huang Ao staying behind at the back at the most crucial time, they would not have been able to make it to the main hall.
“Did you find anything?”
Huang Ao leaned against the doorframe as he slowly sat down, his voice hoarse as if it wasn’t his own.
“Not yet, we just came in. “Old General, you’ve worked hard. Sit here and rest. We’ll come look for you. Once we find you, I’ll bring you out of here.”
Just as Ma Jue was about to enter the great hall, Huang Ao grabbed his arm. Ma Jue turned around and asked in surprise: “Does the old general still have anything else to say?”
Huang Ao, on the other hand, had a strange smile on his face: “Don’t be impatient, slowly search, carefully search.”
When Ma Jue saw that smile, his heart trembled. However, a person who was overly exhausted might lose control of their emotions due to the severe condition they were in, so that strange smile was something that even Huang Ao himself did not know about.
Ma Jue promised as he brought a few of his subordinates to explore the interior of the hall. The flying dexterity people didn’t want to use the tools just now, but now they also used it in order to find the Ice Sealing Spirit Stone as soon as possible. A few cultivators ran out to the surroundings and pulled out a few racks from the materials. There was a fist-sized bead inlaid on top of the rack. The entire hall immediately became bright.
“Divide into three people and seal the entrance to the hall. Whoever enters, regardless of whether it ierson or something else, will be killed without question!”
Ma Jue ordered loudly, and began walking towards the Ice Emperor.
The three cultivators quickly ran to the entrance of the main hall. Although their hearts were still filled with fear, after entering the main hall, their mission was already completed. They felt some hope in their hearts, and their movements became nimble and fluid once more. They only wanted to find the Frozen Spirit Stones and leave this damn place as soon as possible. They didn’t want to stay for another second longer.
The three of them set up the off-gun around three to four meters away from the door and took out a few flying dragon claws. An Zheng stood at the side of the great hall as he watched them search for Fang Zhiji. In the end, his gaze landed on the ice throne where there wauman-shaped sculpture.
The three Soaring Assassins threw out their flying dragon claws, and moments later, the rope extended out from the inside and flew in a circle around the main hall. The three flying dragon claws circled back and clasped together. With a bang, the entire hall was sealed shut. The aura being emitted was actually so strong that it was suffocating.
An Zheng couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Whaowerful sealing tool. Using such a magical equipment to seal the hall from the inside was easier said than done for the demon beasts outside to rush in. Previously, they had used the Flying Dragon Claw and had been waiting for this moment.
Ma Jue walked up to the Ice Emperor in big strides. Looking around, he didn’t see anything similar to spirit stones. He looked at the ice statue sitting cross-legged next to the throne and could not help but exclaim in his heart, “This statue is truly marvelous! It is no different from a real person!”
“Where is it?”
Ma Jue paced back and forth around the throne, but he still didn’t find anything. The temperature in the hall was so low, but a layer of fine sweat had already appeared on his forehead. At this moment, a series of roars came from the outside. Two white-furred demon beasts rushed out of the darkness and crashed into the horizontal rope at the entrance. The main hall had no door, and the door was very big. The two demon beasts were like two heavy tanks as they rushed over and fiercely crashed into the horizontal rope.
With a bang, the rope retracted, and with a sudden bounce, the two demon beasts were sent flying. More white-furred demon beasts rushed over, and their howls shook the room as if it were shaking.
“Fire!”
Ma Jue shouted, and the three cultivators set the small off-gun on fire. Four or five white-furred beasts rushed to the door and the off-gun spewed out a ball of purple flames. The round purple light witail of flames shot out and exploded four or five white-furred beasts. Half of its body flew into the air, spinning and crashing into the group of white-furred beasts behind it.
An Zheng looked outside and saw that the main beast was crouching behind the herd of white-furred beasts, staring coldly at the main hall. A low sound came from its throat. Following the sound, the white-furred monsters began to attack the windows of the hall. It was just that for some reason, An Zheng felt that the main beast was extremely weak, as though it could fall down at any time.
But the flying dragons’ claws were simply too powerful. These white-furred monsters wouldn’t be able to break through no matter what they did.
An Zheng walked quickly to the throne, and saw Fang Zhiji sitting there. Right at this moment, An Zheng felt as if the blood in his heart and veins was boiling, and was about to burst out. Fang Zhiji just sat there, as if he had fallen asleep. The ice outside was not very thick, so he could see everything clearly. As if having found its master, the blood in his heart started to frantically collide with An Zheng’s spatial artifact.
An Zheng could not help but think of the words that the Emperor Zhuo Qingdi had said in his mind … Fang Zhiji was of the same origin as him, and only the blood of his heart could save Fang Zhiji. More than once, he had warned An Zheng that he must release the blood from his heart’s vein when he found Fang Zhiji.
If that was the case, then why did he not save Fang Zhiji? Is it because he has extremely contradictory feelings towards Fang Zhiji?
Just as he was thinking about this, the blood from the Emperor Zhuo Qingdi’s life vein suddenly broke through An Zheng’s spatial artifact. At that moment, An Zheng’s mind suddenly lit up. And it was also at this moment, that the appearance of the blood from his heart veins revealed the invisible An Zheng.
Just as the blood was about to come into contact with the Ice Emperor, An Zheng suddenly teleported over and threw a punch at the Ice Emperor. The strength of this fist strike had used up the last of An Zheng’s Cultivation Power, and the strength of his half-god body had also been unleashed to the extreme. Even Ma Jue subconsciously dodged backwards from such an explosive attack.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
An Zheng’s fist fiercely smashed into the Ice Emperor, causing that enormous throne to immediately shatter into pieces. The strength of the fist had directly pierced through the throne, and the place where he had been hit had been shattered even more thoroughly. The fist power was like a cannonball that shot out, and then the throne exploded. Fragments of ice were sent flying everywhere, and a purple bead quickly flew out from the throne and rushed to the top of the hall.
“I knew you wouldn’t give up so easily.”
An Zheng said coldly. He activated the Blood Pearl Bracelet’s plundering ability and forcefully sucked the blood from his heart meridian, then sprinkled it all over Fang Zhiji’s body. The blood was like boiling water splashing onto the snow, the ice outside Fang Zhiji’s body was melting at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
“No!”
In mid-air, an illusion appeared from within the purple pearl. It stretched out its hand in an attempt to grab the blood, but it was too late. The shout was so mournful, so filled with unwillingness, anger, and hatred.
That was the Emperor Zhuo Qingdi.
An Zheng looked up at the floating illusion, “Sorry about that, your plan failed. I suddenly remembered that I heard Tan Shanse’s subordinate mention that there was a Frozen Seal Spirit Stone here that could storortion of one’s soul, and that with just a little blood, one would be able to revive a dead person. You said that it was not coincidental, but why is it that Fang Zhiji wasn’t always on your Ice Empress’ Throne when you gave me some blood from your heart in such a kind-hearted manner so that I could use it to save Fang Zhiji? ”
An Zheng looked at Emperor Zhuo Qingdi’s fading silhouette and sneered: “Looks like you really have very contradictory feelings towards Fang Zhiji. If you want to kill him, you’ll regret it after thinking that you shouldn’t have done so. So you left some leeway and sealed a part of Fang Zhiji’s soul within the Ice Emperor. This throne is the Frozen Spirit Stone, which is why you always place a dead person on your seat. Perhaps your subordinates felt that you valued friendship and friendship, and perhaps you were moved by your own actions. However, in reality, you were still doing it for yourself. ”
The Emperor Zhuo Qingdi roared and dove down from the sky. However, the soul was too weak and floated back halfway through the journey. It was obvious that it was afraid of An Zheng.
Crack crack. The layer of ice on Fang Zhiji’s body was falling off.
The soul of the Emperor Zhuo Qingdi shouted in a mournful voice in the air: “You think you can win? You can’t go out, no one can. Everyone who comes here will die with me. I have no way of rebirth, so all of you should stay with me. ”
At this time, Ma Jue had already forgotten to attack An Zheng, he looked at Emperor Zhuo Qingdi’s soul and ridiculed: “You’re really crafty, to the point where you tricked Teacher. “It’ity that you can’t calculate as well as I can. A little nobody like you has ruined your plans.”
Emperor Zhuo Qingdi suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes filled with incomparable malice: “You have to die first!”
Ma Jue shrugged his shoulders. “How are you going to kill me? With just you? Now this extremely weak remnant of his soul can kill me? Come, come, come. I will stand here and wait for you to kill me. I would like to see if you have the ability to do so. ”
Puff!
With a muffled sound, a hole was pierced through Ma Jue’s chest. He lowered his head to look at the bow that had pierced through his chest. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He slowly turned his head and saw Huang Ao’s pair of blood-red eyes. Huang Ao twisted and turned the bow in his hand a few times, causing Ma Jue’s knees to go soft and he slowly knelt down.
“For... “Why?”
he asked, a gush of blood rushing from his throat.
An Zheng turned his head to look outside as he thought of something. The main beast of the white-furred beast that was squatting far away had fallen to the ground. A layer of white fur started to grow out from Huang Ao’s body, and his body swelled rapidly. In the blink of an eye, his body split open and a majestic, white-furred demon beast emerged from the shell. Huang Ao’s body was torn apart, the white haired demonic beast howled towards the sky.
An Zheng took a step forward and shielded Fang Zhiji behind him. He could feel that Fang Zhiji was recovering, and the chill on his body had already started to fade.
He grinned, sarcastically.
“Whaity, I was so close.”
An Zheng took a deep breath. “Let’s compete next, and see who can last long.”
