Upon hearing the words "ancient remnants of a race".

Ye Xi's face showed obvious surprise.

It was quite unexpected that someone could see through her secrets at a glance.

But the surprise was fleeting, and indifference returned.

"I don't know what nonsense you're spouting."

Ye Xi slightly raised her chin, her beautiful eyes revealing a chilling coldness that pierced the soul. Her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered the same icy words.

"Get out of here right now!"

"Otherwise, die!"

Zhou Huai did not back down, but his expression grew increasingly grim.

You guessed right.

The Ye Xi in front of him is definitely not the girl who has his heart and eyes full of her, but has been usurped by some unknown ancient soul!

What Zhou Huai couldn't understand was why Ye Xi, who had been perfectly fine before, suddenly had the soul of an ancient race awaken within her.

What exactly happened?

It's even more bizarre than the situation involving Natsume Rinko.

Ye Zhentian hid behind Zhou Huai, watching the tense atmosphere between the two, and was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Zhou Huai, what exactly do you mean by this ancient remnant race?"

"Xi'er...she's not in any danger, is she?"

"Uncle Ye, please step back." Zhou Huai shielded Ye Zhentian behind him and reassured him in a deep voice, "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let anything happen to Xi'er."

The words had barely left his mouth.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling, holy light shone beside Zhou Huai, and six pure white wings unfurled in the void, their holy pressure sweeping across the entire garden.

SS-rank Radiant Judge Bailie has arrived!

As the white light faded, a handsome angel clad in magnificent silver armor, with six enormous white wings spread across his back, hovered in mid-air, wielding a holy sword.

That sacred, majestic, and inviolable aura instantly dispelled most of the cold, gloomy energy released by Ye Xi.

He transformed into a golden streak of light, carrying a holy aura, and flew straight towards Ye Xi in the distance!

He watched as Gabriel sped towards him.

Ye Xi's gaze turned cold, her eyes showing no panic, but rather contempt.

"Overestimating yourself!"

She snorted coldly and raised a fair, jade-like hand.

An unbelievable scene has unfolded!

Ye Xi was clearly only an A-rank Light-type professional, Holy Light Singer.

But as she raised her hand, the temperature in the surrounding air began to plummet!

"Click-click-click—"

Countless icy blue frosts spread wildly outwards from her center, along the ground and in the void!

This is not holy light.

This is ice magic!

"The Prison of Extreme Cold".

In an instant, the water vapor above the garden froze, turning into countless sharp, giant ice spikes that fiercely enveloped Gabriel in mid-air!

Furthermore, an extremely cold force of rules attempted to forcibly freeze the space around Gabriel, freezing the six-winged angel in mid-air!

However, faced with this overwhelming barrage of ice-based attacks...

Gabriel's face remained calm and composed.

"heresy."

He didn't use any flashy magic skills to exchange blows; he simply spread out the six wings on his back!

"boom!"

An overwhelming physical power, accompanied by scorching holy light, erupted from his body!

The ice spikes that were powerful enough to pierce and freeze ordinary A-level professionals melted and vaporized the moment they touched Gabriel's body.

Even the white mark couldn't leave a mark on his holy armor!

The extremely cold rule that attempted to forcibly freeze space was shattered by Gabriel's powerful SS-level divine body, turning into countless ice crystals!

Gabriel burst out of the ice, his holy sword slicing through the sky, leaving a trail of golden light!

Seeing how easily Gabriel deflected his attack.

A look of astonishment finally appeared on Ye Xi's face.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she murmured to herself:

"It's... an SS-rank?"

But she had no time to think about it anymore.

Gabriel's holy sword had already descended with a sharp whistling sound!

"Ice Shield!"

Ye Xi gave a cold shout, and a thick ice shield emanating a chilling aura condensed in front of him.

"Bang--!"

The holy sword slammed into the ice shield, unleashing a deafening roar!

The energy ripples spread outwards, uprooting the precious plants in the Ye family garden, and even shattering the artificial mountain in the distance into pieces!

"Boom boom boom!"

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the sky above the Ye family manor.

The icy blue extreme cold and the golden holy light collided and intertwined in mid-air, making the entire sky appear to be lit up and dim.

Zhou Huai, who was watching from below, was also secretly surprised.

The ancient clan member who possessed Ye Xi's body was also an SS-level professional.

No wonder she dares to be so arrogant and regards herself as an ant.

Zhou Huai's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

If it were any other enemy, facing an opponent of equal strength, Zhou Huai would definitely have Gabriel unleash his full firepower without any reservations.

A single "Purify" or "Rain of Judgment" can severely damage the opponent, even if it doesn't kill them instantly!

But now... no.

That body belongs to Ye Xi.

Because he was afraid of harming Ye Xi's physical body, Zhou Huai didn't dare let Gabriel use his full power.

He was afraid that Gabriel might accidentally lose control of his strength and blow Ye Xi's weak A-level body to pieces.

This resulted in Gabriel's strength far surpassing that of the ancient clansman, yet the two remained locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle in mid-air.

And below.

Ye Zhentian was extremely anxious as he watched the two people fighting like gods in the sky.

He could easily see that Ye Xi was acting strangely.

"How...how is this possible?"

"My daughter, she's just an A-level professional! How could she possibly possess such terrifying strength?"

"And it was ice magic."

Ye Zhentian completely panicked. He turned around and grabbed Zhou Huai's arm:

"Zhou Huai, what exactly happened to my daughter?"

"What on earth is going on? Please, make her stop!"

Looking at Ye Zhentian's tense expression.

Zhou Huai quickly grasped his hand in return, comforting him with a hurried but firm tone:

"Uncle Ye, please calm down! Don't worry, I, Zhou Huai, assure you that I will absolutely not let anything happen to Ye Xi!"

Even so, Zhou Huai only maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but in reality, he was also very agitated.

The same applies to dealing with ancient remnants.

When facing Natsume Rin, he could kill without any scruples, because what did it matter to him whether the other party lived or died?

However, their attitudes towards Ye Xi are completely different.

"Ye Xi absolutely cannot be harmed..."

He watched Ye Xi in the sky, who was being forced back by Gabriel but was still stubbornly resisting with a series of ice magic spells, and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.

Since hard methods don't work...

Then let's go for the gentler approach.

Zhou Huai closed his eyes.

His consciousness instantly shifted into Li Er's body, who was currently in the underground dungeon of the Eternal Night Guild, idly grinding merit points with the Insect Emperor Caesar and the others!

The gray-robed old man, who had been resting with his eyes closed and surrounded by a soft holy light, slowly opened his eyes!
