Chapter 734: Chapter 728: Ling Qianxue’s Crisis
"Abandon Ye Xuan? To be with you?"
Ling Qianxue raised her head, her lips slightly curling into a smirk.
"Right. What merits does Ye Xuan have to be with you? Moreover, he’s going to die soon, by my hands. The best choice for you now is to leave him and come into my embrace."
Huo Yuan thought Ling Qianxue was moved, and he grinned even more proudly.
"Heh, if I truly were to shift my affections, why would I choose you? Wouldn’t it be a hundred times better to choose Senior Brother Jun Luoyu?"
Ling Qianxue laughed mockingly.
Hearing this, the smugness on Huo Yuan’s face immediately darkened. A chill flashed in his eyes as he said, "Don’t refuse the wine only to be forced to drink a penalty. Submit to me now while I am still willing to speak nicely, or don’t blame me for ruthlessly crushing a flower."
Ling Qianxue’s brows furrowed slightly; she knew Huo Yuan was unlikely to let things go easily. He clearly intended to use her to manipulate Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan was his true target.
"Ah, Senior Brother Jun, you’ve finally arrived."
Suddenly, Ling Qianxue looked behind Huo Yuan, a trace of joy appearing on her beautiful face.
"What?"
Huo Yuan’s expression changed, and he immediately turned to look, but his vision was completely empty, and no one was there.
"Tricked." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Huo Yuan’s eyes darkened, and by the time he turned back, Ling Qianxue had already disappeared without a trace.
"Thinking of running? Where can you run to?"
Huo Yuan’s expression turned icy. In such a short time, he didn’t believe Ling Qianxue could have gotten far.
With just a movement of his body, he covered a great distance, and in just a few leaps, he spotted Ling Qianxue.
"Stop!"
As Huo Yuan moved, he twisted mid-stride, applying the Ancient Emperor Battle God Skill, his boundless True Essence Gravity pulling on Ye Xuan, drawing him closer.
"Snow Barrier!"
Ling Qianxue’s expression was unchanged. She waved her right hand, and her white glove shimmered briefly as a snow-white barrier abruptly appeared in front of her.
Crunch!
The bloody barrier twisted violently and then shattered quickly, but Ling Qianxue used this opportunity to widen the gap between herself and Huo Yuan.
"Interesting."
Huo Yuan was slightly taken aback at being unable to capture Ling Qianxue, but he only grew a bit more serious. Immediately, his fingers flicked continuously, and with each flick, an ancient shadow flickered briefly in the air before shooting violently towards Ling Qianxue.
The Finger Force was extremely fast, and Ling Qianxue could only keep erecting snow barriers, defensively like walls of ice.
Bang!
The snow barrier shattered again, and Ling Qianxue leveraged the force to fly backward. Several strands of Finger Force scraped past her white dress, drawing out streaks of blood.
"You can’t escape my grasp!"
Huo Yuan was determined to capture Ling Qianxue. He had already let Ye Xuan escape once; this time, he certainly couldn’t let Ling Qianxue slip away as well.
"Trap the Heavens and Seal the Earth!"
Huo Yuan’s palm extended sideways into a sharp blade of air, slicing through the space around it, distorting it. He raised his palm and slashed through the void a few times, causing the space around Ling Qianxue to suddenly fluctuate violently and form a barrier of spatial ripples.
Boom!
The barrier of spatial ripples formed too quickly, and, caught off guard, Ling Qianxue’s back slammed against it, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"Are you not going to surrender?"
Huo Yuan looked as if he had already secured victory.
However, Ling Qianxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful eyes suddenly turned icy cold, her skin emanating a blue glow.
The emotional turbulence in Ling Qianxue’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by a chilling coldness devoid of any emotion.
"Break!"
With a hint of blue light flashing in her pupils, a massive rush of icy aura burst forth from Ling Qianxue, like snowflakes, yet extremely concentrated. Just as she shouted, the indestructible barrier of spatial ripples around her shattered instantly, as if a giant mirror had exploded into pieces.
"What?"
Huo Yuan’s facial expression froze. In an instant, Ling Qianxue’s aura had changed, becoming more than twice as powerful as before. However, she obviously couldn’t handle such vast power, causing the energy to spread thin and lose much of its force. Otherwise, the spatial ripples wouldn’t just have shattered; they would have been utterly annihilated.
"How did she suddenly change so drastically?"
Huo Yuan was secretly shocked. It seemed a powerful force was hidden within Ling Qianxue, a force she could hardly control. Otherwise, he might not have been a match for her.
But for now, he should still be able to control the situation.
Having broken free, Ling Qianxue’s combat strength had also risen a notch, but she chose not to tangle with Huo Yuan. After breaking free, her first reaction was to rush towards the other end of the passage, needing to leave this place as swiftly as possible.
"Ling Qianxue, truly worthy of being the belle of Snow God Mountain, hiding many secrets. Once I conquer you, you’ll be mine."
Huo Yuan burst into haughty laughter, coveting a woman of such talent and beauty, undoubtedly desired by all men.
"Scram!"
An icy fierceness filled Ling Qianxue’s beautiful eyes. She waved her hand, and the chill in the air rapidly condensed into an Ice Crystal Spear that shot out.
Hiss!
The spear aimed straight for Huo Yuan’s throat, but he responded quickly, catching the Ice Crystal Spear in front of him with his bare hands, the crystal frost rapidly spreading over them.
Bang!
The crystal frost spread to Huo Yuan’s arms, and the next moment, it exploded with a bang, scattering like raindrops, while Huo Yuan took the chance to slap toward Ling Qianxue’s back.
Whoosh!
A white glow burst from Ling Qianxue’s back, unveiling a pair of snow-white wings that seemed made wholly of translucent ice crystals. These icy wings flapped violently, once again increasing the distance between them.
"Let’s see how long you can run!"
Huo Yuan, having repeatedly failed to capture her, was not discouraged but appeared like a cat chasing a mouse, certain that Ling Qianxue would ultimately fall into his hands.
"The True Yuan is depleting too quickly."
Ling Qianxue frowned, a powerful force indeed hidden within her, but she was unable to fully harness it. Even in her current state, the depletion of True Yuan was severe, as her Cultivation had only just reached the Saint Realm, naturally nowhere near as robust as Huo Yuan’s.
At that critical moment, tens of miles away, across numerous corridors in a stone chamber, Ye Xuan suddenly raised his head, his brows slightly furrowing.
"Is there some disturbance?"
Ye Xuan’s senses were vague, as the soul power was restricted here. Thus, detecting the Artifact Pavilion mainly relied on the power of the Human Emperor’s Scepter.
