“It’s still not dead?” Ye Fei Li was in disbelief.
The creature suddenly looked up, the mult.i.tudes of corpses on its face s.h.i.+fted, squished together to open its gigantic mouth.
A deathly black fog began to flow out.
The fog almost seems sentient, whimpering as it chased after Ye Fei Li while he dodged.
The creature then spat out another puff of black fog.
As the two puffs of fog chased after Ye Fei Li, they suddenly stopped, the dispersed everywhere.
“f.u.c.ker!”
Ye Fei Li didn’t have anywhere else to dodge, so he clasped his hands together and formed a blinding blood-red light.
The light quickly expanded, forming a sphere that covered and isolated him from everything outside.
The sphere of blood went past the black fog and escaped below.
Ye Fei Li looked at the wounds all over his body, clicking his tongue: “It’s still able to do so much damage through a barrier, wouldn’t that be sure death if I touched that directly?”
A blood-red flame appeared from his palm.
“Die!”
The flame disappeared from his hand and reappeared at the creature’s body.
It enveloped the creature, burning it down with intense heat.
———-boom!
The countless corpses were burnt to a crisp.
Everything including the creature’s head were reduced to a large pile of bones, cras.h.i.+ng down to the frozen icy surface below.
But as the bones touched the ice, in just a few moments, they regrew all their flesh.
The creature propped up its gigantic body again, crawling towards Ye Fei Li.
Ye Fei Li scowled: “What a tough guy, I can’t kill him at all”
His heart started to sink.
He’s struggling to deal with a single monster.
Then if the entire world gets turned into a Frozen h.e.l.l, how can humanity survive at all?
“It’s not enough to just destroy its limbs or parts, you have to permanently kill it to force it back into the ice” Gu Qing Shan’s voice came from afar.
Hearing Gu Qing Shan, Ye Fei Li couldn’t help but sigh in relief and asked: “Is your thing done?”
“Yeah, so I came to help you” Gu Qing Shan said.
He put his Holo-Brain away and took out this sword.
“At the same time!” Gu Qing Shan shouted.
“Alright!” Ye Fei Li responded.
The blood-red glow covered Ye Fei Li entire body as he flew straight towards the creature.
On the other side, Gu Qing Shan equipped the t.i.tle [Talented General]
With a hand seal, he sent the Earth Sword flying straight into the creature’s body.
The world became silent.
Dong dong dong dong dong!
Explosion after explosion erupted from inside the creature’s body.
Countless corpses fell down from where it stood.
Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance]
The creature grasped at the ice and corpses, trying to refill the gaps on its body.
“Not so fast”
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan activated his t.i.tle skill [Rampaging Sword Qi]
[Rampaging Sword Qi: Whenever you activate this skill, the sword qi will form a phantom image of your attack that strikes the enemy once again]
Dong dong dong dong dong!
The explosions rang out again.
The ice and the corpses in the creature’s hands were forced to be dropped as its wounds became worse and worse.
Gu Qing Shan changed his hand seal.
Secret Art, [Silver Star]
He activated [Rampaging Sword Qi] once again!
12 streaks of light resembling comets appeared from inside the creature’s body, cutting it to pieces.
The creature finally couldn’t maintain its form and started to collapse.
“Your turn” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Got it!” Ye Fei Li responded.
The blood-red glow flowed from the sky, turning into thin threads that wrapped around the countless corpses like coc.o.o.ns.
Within the coc.o.o.ns, the corpses’ flesh quickly melted away, leaving only the bones remaining.
This time, the creature finally died.
It fell back into slumber, waiting until it finally fully recovered.
The commotion on the frozen lake finally stopped.
The cold rain water was still pouring.
Heavy drops of rain pelt the ground, letting out a chaotic rhythm of noises.
All the faces that covered the frozen icy surface shut their mouths, staring at the two people hovering in the air.
No one knew what they were thinking.
Gu Qing Shan lightly waved his hand to summon the Earth Sword back where he stood as it silently floated next to him.
Ye Fei Li wiped the sweat off his forehead, asking: “Did we actually do it?”
“It’s dead, very thoroughly dead. It’ll take a very long time for it to revive again” Gu Qing Shan answered.
Ye Fei Li sighed from relief: “What exactly was that thing?”
“Probably a monster from another Era, one that can control dead humans”
“Such a monster already appeared” Ye Fei Li was very worried, “what are we going to do now? What will humanity do now?”
“That’s for us to deal with later, right now we have to immediately deal with this ice lake” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Didn’t you say earlier that we can’t deal with this h.e.l.l?” Ye Fei Li asked curiously.
“Since only the peak of the iceberg has appeared and it hasn’t spread, we have just enough to deal with it” Gu Qing Shan answered.
Taking out his Holo-Brain, Gu Qing Shan asked: “Are the calculations complete?”
Impartial G.o.ddess’ voice came: [The measures has been arranged, the corresponding calculations are also complete. Following your orders, the military is currently being gathered]
“Tell me if there’s any trouble”
[To enter f.u.xi borders, I need permission from the f.u.xi government]
“Leave that to me” Gu Qing Shan answered.
He called Zhang Ying Hao from his Holo-Brain.
“What’s the situation over there?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Don’t worry, the Empress is currently next to me, she’s very safe] Zhang Ying Hao answered.
“Let me talk to her”
[I’m here, you can speak]
Very quickly, the Empress’ voice came from the Holo-Brain.
Gu Qing Shan narrated the situation to her.
To avoid any disbelief from the Empress, Gu Qing Shan turned on video call to project the entire situation of the frozen lake to her.
On the other side of the call, silence took over.
After a while, Zhang Ying Hao’s muttering could be heard: [Oh G.o.d, oh my G.o.d, this world is done for]
It took the Empress everything she had to keep calm: [From what you’re saying, he’s trying to revive the previous Emperor of f.u.xi?]
“Not trying to, he already did”
The Empress went silent for a bit, then asked: [What do you want from me?]
“I need the f.u.xi Empire’s authorization; Impartial G.o.ddess will carry out a plan of action designed by myself to deal with this lake”
The Empress immediately: [I authorize it! I’ll contact all military personnel to give Impartial G.o.ddess a one-time special access to f.u.xi Empire’s airs.p.a.ce]
“Thank you!”
[Don’t thank me, I have yet to thank you for saving me]
Then they hung up.
Suddenly a voice called out.
“What you’re doing is useless” one of the faces spoke.
“That’s right, we’ve already died, we can’t die anymore” another face said.
Every face on the lake heard what Gu Qing Shan said just now.
Another face spoke: “Let them do as they like, when all of us can get out, they have no way but to become food for us anyways”
“That’s right”
“Ahahaha, I can’t wait”
“Brats, you just wait until your deaths!”
“Death!”
“Death!”
“Death!”
All the faces started chanting in a frenzy.
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, the Holo-Brain in his breast pocket spoke up.
Impartial G.o.ddess said: [Sir, we’re currently on our way, but a strange force is interfering with the signal. I’m unable to pinpoint the exact location of your Holo-Brain]
It’s probably due to the Frozen h.e.l.l’s signature waves, Gu Qing Shan thought to himself.
He spoke: “Change to satellite positioning and directly determine where I am from s.p.a.ce”
Impartial G.o.ddess continued: [The mist has spread out from the forest to cover the land. The entire area is now covered in fog; I am unable to pinpoint your location from s.p.a.ce]
“What do we do now?” Ye Fei Li couldn’t help but ask.
The ice lake is still spreading, so they really couldn’t wait any longer.
Gu Qing Shan contemplated for a bit, then suddenly chuckled.
“What are you laughing about?” Ye Fei Li asked.
“I suddenly felt like what I learnt at the film academy isn’t going to waste”
Seeing how Ye Fei Li didn’t understand at all, Gu Qing Shan explained: “There’s a very old movie that tells me exactly what to do in such a situation”
“You mean some sort of ancient incantation?” Ye Fei Li tried thinking about it.
“You could say it’s a type of incantation”
Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth Sword straight towards the sky.
Then he said his line
“An arrow pierces through the clouds, inviting thousands of troops to gather”
