Chapter 517: Meeting Shangguan Yi Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
One couldn’t blame Lu Wei for thinking that way. After all, the snow maidens were sworn enemies of the human race.
Despite the fact that this wasn’t a relations.h.i.+p where one side had to vanquish the other, it was still an irrefutable fact that the relations.h.i.+p between the two races had never been a good one.
After the invasions of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect and the Vermilion Bird Sect, the relations.h.i.+p between the two races had further worsened, to the extent that they would engage in battle on sight.
For a powerful human to save her now was completely baffling to her.
“Thank you…” Lu Wei slowly came to her senses before expressing her grat.i.tude.
The man turned to glance at her out of the corner of his eye. However, there wasn’t even a single hint of expression on his cold features.
He turned to look up at the huge ice crystal at the peak of the mountain before his expression finally s.h.i.+fted.
“So it really is you… Sister Shangguan Yi.”
The man was none other than An Lin, and he looked up at the woman meditating within the ice crystal with yearning and joy in his eyes.
The woman had her eyes tightly closed, and there was a blue dress draped over her snowy white skin. Her black long hair, which reached down to her waist, had turned into the silver hair that was common among the snow maidens. A black symbol flashed lightly on her glabella as it relentlessly absorbed a certain type of power from the rift in the sky.
“Sister Shangguan Yi, it’s me, An Lin!” An Lin called from outside the crystal.
Shangguan Yi’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn’t open her eyes.
“An Lin… He’s An Lin?” Lu Wei stared at the man and muttered to herself while an astonished expression appeared on her face.
Tales of An Lin’s feats had spread throughout the entire Holy Glacial Lands, thereby elevating him to a legendary status there.
Many powerful snow maidens believed that he was the main factor that resulted in their failure to obtain the Holy Vermilion Flame.
An Lin’s sudden appearance had completely flipped the tables on the battle between the snow maidens and the lizard dragons.
“An Lin?!” With surprise and bewilderment on her face, Palace Leader Qi stared at the man standing beside the huge crystal.
“You’ll pay with your life for killing my brother!”
A huge flaming dragon was completely enraged after witnessing the death of the lightning dragon. It discarded the snow maiden that was on the brink of death in its claws as it charged toward An Lin. With boundless crimson flames flowing from its mouth, which then crashed down on An Lin in ma.s.sive crimson waves.
A tiny figure tore through the air and appeared before An Lin at an alarming speed. When she slashed her white longsword through the air, a huge blue ice lotus flower instantly enveloped An Lin and herself.
Boom!
Crimson flames engulfed the entire peak of the mountain, transforming the summit into a sea of flames.
Not only did the comparatively tiny ice lotus flower not melt away in the flames, but it also began to grow even more dazzling and beautiful.
“Don’t worry about me, Tina. Go take care of the remaining lizard dragons,” An Lin instructed.
“Alright!” Tina’s tiny figure whizzed through the air and broke through the sea of flames before pouncing toward the flame dragon.
“Know your place, insect!” The flame dragon sneered coldly at the tiny figure flying toward it. It then opened its cavernous mouth where fearsome flame power converged within.
However, right at this moment, two snow soul beasts suddenly flashed through the air toward the flame dragon like two white meteorites, which created a domain imbued with the power of extreme frost, causing the flame dragon’s movements to falter momentarily.
“Hmph, mere tr…”
The flame dragon did not even have a chance to finish its sentence before countless tentacles flas.h.i.+ng with white lightning pierced through the air and quickly ensnared its scorching body within.
A flaming rock golem then descended from the sky, and its fist thundered down on the flame dragon’s head with devastating force.
Boom!
A ma.s.sive shockwave fanned out in all directions.
The flame dragon felt an extremely acute pain coming from its head, which forced it to abandon the spell technique it was about to unleash.
It was also at this moment that the two snow soul beasts crashed into its lower abdomen.
Snow soul beasts weren’t good at much else; straightforward ramming was a natural ability they were born with. The power imbued within one of their rams was equivalent to the power of a full-force attack from a cultivator at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage.
Boom!
A ma.s.sive indentation was rammed into the flame dragon’s stomach, which created a shockwave that radiated outward in all directions for several kilometers.
It widened its eyes in shock as it spat out a ma.s.sive mouthful of fire and blood.
The flame dragon had only just raised its head when it was greeted by the sight of an extremely bright blue sword projection imbued with the power of extreme frost flas.h.i.+ng through the air toward itself.
The tiny figure it had previously sneered at now gave it a crippling sense of terror. It was also at this moment that a sense of impending doom engulfed its ma.s.sive body.
The flame dragon was in complete despair. Under such a well-ch.o.r.eographed combination attack from so many powerful beings, it was reduced to a ma.s.sive, living punching bag.
The blue sword projection descended upon the flame dragon before slicing it in half and instantly ending its life.
The twin-sword-wielding white dragon slew another snow maiden in the blink of an eye before looking at the black dragon in the distance. Their eyes met, and both of them instantly began to escape in unison!
“You aren’t escaping!” Palace Leader Qi charged at the black dragon that was closest to herself.
The black dragon roared as terrifying wind pressure expanded around itself in a ball shape, which caused the nearby mountains to crumble, thus forcing Palace Leader Qi into retreat.
“Hehe, no one is a match for me when it comes to a contest of speed.”
The black dragon shot a taunting glance at Palace Leader Qi before spreading its ma.s.sive wings to fly into the distance with wind revolving around its body.
A pink arrow, which was accompanied by a bolt of crimson lightning, pierced through the air.
The smile suddenly congealed on the black dragon’s face as it turned toward a certain direction before its pupils contracted drastically.
A pink bolt of light expanded in its field of vision at an alarming rate, and its world soon became an entirely crimson one before falling into complete darkness…
The arrows pierced through the black dragon’s head before instantly pulverizing its ma.s.sive head.
All the other snow maidens stared in shock as the ma.s.sive black dragon plummeted toward the ground.
Palace Leader Qi turned her gaze upon the direction from which the arrow had come from, and she couldn’t help but shudder with fear as she exclaimed in amazement, “I can’t detect the archer using my divine sense, and they’re even outside of my field of vision! What monstrous marksmans.h.i.+p!”
The white dragon immediately unleashed its life-force-burning mystic technique to fly away even faster in retreat…
Over ten kilometers away, Liu Chuchu put down her pink bow and heaved a soft sigh as her features paled slightly.
“That’s one less storage ring. What a shame…” she lamented in a disappointed voice.
That arrow just then was already the most powerful arrow she was capable of unleas.h.i.+ng. The white dragon was simply too fast. If she wanted to kill it, she would have to overexert herself, in which case, she would be severely wounded by a backlash. It was simply not worth the effort.
A tiny figure flashed through the air as it flew from one dead body to the next.
Tina had somehow become the designated storage-ring scavenger of the group, and she soon carried three Dragon Tribe and three snow maidens’ storage rings to An Lin while a broad grin appeared on her face.
The remaining three snow maidens’ faces convulsed when they saw what Tina was doing, but they didn’t dare to say anything. They could only huddle together silently before turning their cautious gazes on An Lin and the others.
An Lin stowed away the six storage ring, which would be distributed once everything here was settled.
With a cold smile on his face, he turned his eyes to the remaining three snow maidens. “Alright, let’s get down to business.”
