From start to finish, Zhao Jun's purpose in searching for the ore was to reshape his own body.
Without mercy, he strangled Fairy Yuanzhi to death. Then, clapping his hands, he laughed, "What a coincidence. Why are you two here too?"
Now, his body made of spiritual stones was complete. Together with his demonic soul, he was immortal. Having absorbed all the spiritual energy from the stones, he even had the confidence to escape even when facing Yaohua.
Before the two of them could react, they saw Fairy Yuanzhi die right before their eyes.
Ming Ye's eyes instantly went blank. Then, gritting his teeth with hatred, he said, "I will kill you!"
It was this demonic being who had used and deceived him, causing him to end up in this state.
Originally, no one needed to die. They just had to wait for Yaohua to break through to the Nirvana Realm, and then they could all leave together.
At this moment, he was also extremely regretful. If he hadn't been tempted by Zhao Jun back then, if he had removed the demonic energy from his body earlier... Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world.
Icy blades flew towards Zhao Jun in unison, but he showed no sign of fear.
Those snow blades hit his body, but they didn't leave the slightest trace on him.
Moreover, he was even continuously absorbing the spiritual power emitted by Ming Ye during the attack.
His body, made of ice crystal jade marrow, was flesh and blood. And since it was formed in the ice field, it was immune to the power of ice and snow. Instead, it could turn the power of ice and water into his own.
Zhao Jun's smile became even more arrogant. "Ice crystal jade marrow is the purest thing. Even the true fire of the phoenix cannot penetrate the body of jade marrow and burn my demonic soul. I advise you two to surrender."
Looking at Yaohua meaningfully, he said, "After all, if we count, you're still my sister - in - law."
Yaohua snorted. "Dream on!"
The true fire of the phoenix surged, and a fire phoenix took shape behind her.
She stretched out her hand, and the spiritual sword broke free from Zhao Jun's grasp and flew towards her, emitting a soft sword hum. This time, the sword hum was not because it couldn't bear the power, but out of excitement and joy.
Back in the hands of its master, it was infused with Yaohua's powerful spiritual power. The originally somewhat turbid and impure sword body was like being recast, becoming crystal - clear all over.
Zhao Jun knew well that her fire phoenix was not to be underestimated. With a solemn look in his eyes, he gathered the ice and snow power collected in his body in front of him, forming a huge snowball.
The battle between the two caused a huge spiritual power vortex, and the entire ice field trembled.
Yaohua closed her eyes and threw the spiritual sword out.
The fire phoenix let out a cry, circled in front of her, stretched out its neck, and carried the sword out.
She unleashed the sword move she had used in the illusion!
In the illusion, she had used this sword move to break through the millions - strong army of the demon race and forced the demon race to seek peace.
Now, she was not as powerful as she was in the illusion, but it was more than enough to kill Zhao Jun!
Zhao Jun's eyes showed horror. "This... What is this? This is definitely not a move of the Phoenix Ancestor!"
The clear cry of the phoenix resounded across the ice field.
In the ice field, countless villagers looked up blankly, as if they saw a faint shape of a fire phoenix and a shocking sword light flashing across the sky.
"What, what is this?" they asked in confusion.
Among the sinners in the north, an old man suddenly looked up. "I didn't expect that there would be the supernatural power of the phoenix race in this ice field."
"Master, what is the supernatural power of the phoenix race?" a young child with a small braid asked curiously.
The old man's gaze was far - reaching, as if a hint of nostalgia appeared. "Supernatural powers are the rules that exist between heaven and earth. As long as a mortal understands the rules, they can unleash moves that can destroy the world. However, a race favored by heaven and earth like the phoenix race is instead trapped by the true fire they are born with and cannot understand the rules... Only a phoenix that has endured thousands of trials and is brave enough to break free from the constraints of the race can understand the peerless supernatural power."
Below the snow - cliff, the forest had been completely destroyed by the powerful shockwave and flattened.
The snowball that Zhao Jun had condensed had no power to fight back. Before it could even touch the sword light, it melted into nothingness without a trace.
And his body was crushed into powder. Without even letting out a scream, he turned into ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth.
Gu Songyue swallowed hard. For the first time, he felt a sense of survival crisis.
Looking at Yaohua, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
Was this girl really just in seclusion to digest the inheritance of the ancestor? Why could she unleash such a wonderful supernatural power after digesting it?
And Yaohua didn't even realize that she had unleashed such an extraordinary supernatural power.
She waved her hand, and the fire phoenix dissipated. The sword also steadily returned to her hand. With a somewhat annoyed look on her face, she said, "I didn't control my strength well. I crushed him to death."
Ming Ye stared at her stupidly. Suddenly, tears fell one by one. He looked very aggrieved. "Ear, early on, if I knew you were so powerful, I would..."
The aura of that supernatural power just now seemed even stronger than his sister's. Wuwu, if he had known this girl was so powerful, he would never have listened to the stupid words of the demon.
Yaohua turned her head and saw that he was crying. Her expression was surprisingly calm. "Ming Ye, come here."
Ming Ye trusted her very much at this moment. He felt a familiar phoenix aura from the move just now, and even a hint of attachment arose in his heart.
He walked over slowly. Yaohua raised her hand and gently patted him on the head.
At this moment, the familiar phoenix aura emerged, making his nose sour.
The next moment, that seemingly gentle phoenix aura rushed in from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, penetrated his meridians, and destroyed his Dantian.
There seemed to be a faint sound of shattering, a soft "pop".
"Wh... Why..." With hatred in his eyes, he stared fixedly at Yaohua. At the same time, he felt all the strength in his body being drained away. For the first time, the biting cold wind made him feel cold.
Fortunately, it was only for a moment.
After this moment, the ice field condensed by himself dissipated. The cold wind was no longer so piercing, and a warm wind blew across his body.
He fell to the ground weakly, with blood flowing from his mouth. The bone - chilling pain came, making him curl up involuntarily.
At this moment, he was no longer a snow demon. He was just a useless person.
And the sky of the Divine Continent slowly appeared in his painful eyes.
He looked at everything in front of him blankly and asked with difficulty, "Wasn't it only me... who could send you out of the ice field? Why..."
Yaohua pursed her lips, with a complex look in her eyes. "I just figured it out. If Ancestor Xuanzhao really wanted to seal you, why would she keep your cultivation and leave this place where you could connect with the outside world and practice at will?"
"Sister... She was afraid that I would be bullied..." The blood at the corner of Ming Ye's mouth flowed more and more, but looking at the sky of the Divine Continent, his eyes were full of tenderness and nostalgia.
Yaohua's voice mercilessly shattered his fantasy. "This is your own ice field. Xuanzhao didn't not want to seal your spiritual power. She just couldn't! So what she set up was not a sealing formation, but a transformation formation. She used the formation to turn your own spiritual power into a cage that sealed you."
Ming Ye didn't understand and looked even more blank. "No, she wanted me to practice hard. Sister told me that as long as I became stronger than her, I could break the formation."
"She lied to you." Yaohua lifted her sword and said calmly, "In fact, it was your cultivation that trapped you. Without cultivation, the formation would naturally be broken."
