第四千零一十六章 勇者无惧

Phoenix Ice Fairy sighed...

However, as a proud daughter of the heavens, her self-respect wouldn't allow her to do so. While her companions fought bravely against their enemies, she was alone, fleeing.

Though it was out of necessity, it was no different from running away.

Her sharp teeth gripped tightly at her lower jaw, and a faint trickle of blood appeared by the corner of her mouth, showing how much she struggled within.

"Alright!"

After a few breaths, she made a difficult decision. Self-respect was important, but it couldn't outweigh her master's instructions.

She recalled what her master had said before leaving—no matter what, this batch of supplies must be brought back to the main base.

Seeing Phoenix Ice agree, Shangguan Ling was overjoyed. Despite knowing that her sister would likely face a grim fate staying behind, she wouldn't retreat for the sake of repaying her master's great kindness and virtue.

Their figures crossed paths as they silently handed over a storage bag containing treasures to each other.

Shangguan Yan and the purple-robed girl also cooperated seamlessly, intensifying their attacks to draw attention away from them.

Rumbling sounds echoed in her ears. The bald demon had already become exhausted.

However, this was far from over. Shangguan Ling rushed forward as well.

Her Thunder Soul Ice Spirit Sword sent ripples through the air, and lightning and snowstorm combined to rush towards their opponent.

The three girls truly were formidable; the attack they unleashed was incredibly powerful.

A cultivator of the Transcending Tribulation stage actually couldn't withstand it. The bald demon lord roared incessantly but had no choice but to retreat.

This was a divine opportunity!

In today's jailbreak beta test for Hundred Refinements, the download link has been announced on Huan Yu Wei. You can search "Hundred Refinements Ascend Huan Yu" or "hchy1982" in WeChat to add her. New friends can find more information by checking historical messages. For Apple users, don't miss out; Android users will have to wait a bit longer. Huan Yu is also an Android user, so she's feeling a bit envious. Sigh...

Phoenix Ice was courageous and decisive.

Although she didn't want to escape alone, once she agreed, there was no room for hesitation. A sound of phoenix wings filled her ears as she transformed into a snow-white ice phoenix in the freezing wind.

With one flap of its wings, it unleashed a wave of icy flames.

She revealed her true form and flew towards the horizon.

Although no spatial secrets were used this time, her speed was still incredible.

In an instant, she had traveled to a distant place. The bald demon lord, however, was too preoccupied with his own affairs.

Just as she seemed ready to escape successfully, something unexpected happened.

Without any warning, a terrifying demonic claw suddenly shot out from about ten feet away. Its fingers were sharp and emitted an astonishing aura like a powerful bow or crossbow, lunging towards Phoenix Ice.

"Ahh!"

A cry of pain echoed in her ears.

Phoenix Ice's snow-white body was stained with blood as she swayed in the air, almost falling to the ground.

The demonic claw flashed black before transforming into a bald man with bare feet.

Incarnate Soul!

No, if his incarnate soul was here, why could the bodies of Shangguan sisters still move freely?

This puzzled everyone present.

Could it be that he practiced a secret technique for a second incarnate soul? Or perhaps his cultivation method was so peculiar and bizarre that even with an incarnate soul out of body, as long as they weren't too far apart, his physical body could still move freely?

No one knew which scenario applied. There wasn't time to delve into the reasons.

The demon lord's laughter rang in her ears: "Foolish girl, do you really think you can escape my palm?"

"You're too naive. That flaw was just a ploy on my part..."

Taking advantage of the situation!

Could it be that his mind-reading had already penetrated her thoughts?

Shangguan Ling's face turned pale.

Regardless, those materials and treasures must not fall into their hands.

She flew towards Phoenix Ice.

By now, Phoenix Ice Fairy had returned to human form. Her clothes were drenched in blood as she closed her eyes tightly, appearing unconscious.

The giant man's incarnate soul revealed a sinister expression, surrounded by demonic winds, preparing to snatch the treasure from her hand.

Now it came down to who was faster.

The purple-robed girl and Shangguan Yan fought desperately. However, due to their different cultivation stages, they couldn't fully distract their opponent.

The bald giant's right hand reached up towards the sky, sending bolts of lightning towards Shangguan Ling.

Jungle paths blocked her path as she advanced.

To reach Phoenix Ice, she had to pass through a sea of thunder.

Each bolt of black lightning was almost as powerful as a heavenly tribulation.

This was truly a dead end!

However, determination etched on Shangguan Ling's face.

The Thunder Soul and Ice Spirit swords merged into one, slicing forward.

Person and sword became one.

But even so, it couldn't break through the sea of thunder.

"You little girl, you're asking for death. Don't blame me!"

A cruel expression appeared on the bald demon lord's face as he clutched his hands together. Thunder roared, and a black demonic palm emerged with electric arcs swirling around its surface.

It flashed past Shangguan Ling.

By now, she was at her last strength, severely injured and nearly out of mana, unable to move even slightly.

"Big sister..."

Shangguan Yan's cries echoed like the blood-curdling cry of a cuckoo. She hated herself for being so weak; if only her master were here...

However, coincidences don't happen everywhere or at any time.

No trace of Lin Xuan was seen, and Shangguan Ling struggled in the sharp tears.

Her body was battered to pieces.

"Big sister, stop pushing forward."

Shangguan Yan's tears flowed down her white face, but all that remained for Shangguan Ling was determination.

She broke through the sea of thunder, taking the storage bag from Phoenix Ice before the giant man's incarnate soul could reach it.

"You're asking for death!"

This scene left the demon lord both stunned and enraged: "Refusing my hospitality to take punishment. You dare provoke me, a junior of the Distracted Realm stage. I will tear your soul apart!"

Before he finished speaking, his single hand clutched his chest and pushed out.

Popping sounds echoed as a black demonic palm appeared with electric arcs swirling around it.

It flashed past Shangguan Ling.

By now, she was at her last strength, severely injured and nearly out of mana, unable to move even slightly.

"Big sister..."

Shangguan Yan's cries were like the blood-curdling cry of a cuckoo as she desperately flew towards them. But it was too late.

As Shangguan Ling seemed about to fall, Phoenix Ice suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled.

"Peng!"

Using her own body to shield, Phoenix Ice spat out a mouthful of blood.

She had already been severely injured; this hit left her unable to move as well.

"Why are you saving me?"

"Hmph. I don't like owing favors."

...

Severely wounded and on the brink of death, Phoenix Ice still maintained her pride. However, both girls' combat abilities were now nearly nullified.

The bald demon lord was furious and swung another punch forward.

This time, his target was two—since Shangguan Ling and Phoenix Ice were together, he wanted to destroy them both completely.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion echoed as the two didn't fall. Instead, it was Shangguan Yan who took the hit for them.
