40: Chapter 39 Fierce Battle and the Culprit!

"True Body of the Silver Moon!"

Accompanied by a clear shout, Zhang Lexuan's figure instantly became illusory.

The silver moon hanging high above her head projected a condensed pillar of moonlight, completely enveloping her body.

The next moment, her body completely fused with the silver moon in the air, and her entire person seemed to have transformed into a part of the moonlight, surrounded by flowing brilliant silver radiance.

At the same time, the instant her Spirit Avatar opened, Zhang Lexuan's aura surged rapidly once again!

"Eighth Spirit Ability — — Blood Moon Eclipse!"

The scarlet hundred-thousand-year spirit ring suddenly burst out with dazzling red light, and wisps of blood-colored halo soared straight up. In an instant, the silver moon in the firmament was dyed and transformed into an eerie blood moon!

In a split second, the color of heaven and earth changed, and the entire area was completely enveloped under the brilliance of the blood moon!

At this moment, all gentleness faded from Zhang Lexuan's eyes, leaving only coldness and focus.

The brilliance of the blood moon condensed terrifying energy as if it were substantial, ready to go!

Without hesitation, the Blood Moon Eclipse was abruptly triggered, and a majestic torrent of scarlet moonlight, carrying the momentum of destruction, fiercely bombarded the body of the rapidly approaching Ice Jade Scorpion!

"Hiss — — ! !"

The Ice Jade Scorpion enveloped by the blood-colored moonlight let out a sharp hiss, its crystal-clear, emerald-green hard shell rapidly corroding and dissolving, emitting wisps of white smoke!

But the next moment, an extremely condensed emerald-green light burst forth from within the Ice Jade Scorpion. The previously rampaging blood-colored moonlight was instantly frozen and shattered by the erupting Ultimate Ice, turning into dust all over the sky...

On the other side, Lin Yan, who had been thrown out, did not leave directly. It was not that he was overestimating his own capabilities and letting down Sister Lexuan's painstaking efforts.

Rather, he knew very well that if this hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion could not be resolved, once Zhang Lexuan was defeated and died, he and Jiang Nannan would also have absolutely no possibility of escaping!

More importantly, he still had unused trump cards in his hands now. With Sister Lexuan's assistance, it was still uncertain who would ultimately emerge victorious!

"Boom — — ! !"

Earth-shattering explosions continuously burst across the snowy plains, and the violent energy shockwave swept in all directions, blowing away the thick ice layer on the ground for dozens of meters and forming huge ice pits one after another.

The ice shards all over the sky and the blood-colored moonlight intertwined together, resembling a gorgeous yet fatal fireworks display!

Quickly placing Jiang Nannan in a safe area, the first two spirit rings on Lin Yan's body lit up simultaneously, and his figure flashed to quickly approach the battlefield.

However, Lin Yan did not act rashly either; instead, he roamed around the edges waiting for an opportunity, because he knew clearly that with his current cultivation, he was far too fragile in the fierce battle between the two!

"Seizing the fleeting opportunity that suddenly appeared, Lin Yan immediately transmitted his voice: "Sister Lexuan, find a way to trap it and buy me ten breaths of time! I have the means sufficient to slay it while taking advantage of the chance!""

Zhang Lexuan, who was in the midst of a bitter battle, had no time to spare to respond, but she was thinking rapidly in her heart.

Although Lin Yan's words sounded like a fantasy, at this point, they already had nowhere else to go!

With her thoughts settled, Zhang Lexuan made up her mind. Since Lin Yan dared to speak up, what harm was there in giving it a try?!

The worst-case outcome would be nothing more than "death"!!!

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan, who had been continuously withstanding the Ice Jade Scorpion's violent offensive, was already beginning to show a clear weakening in her aura.

On the other side, looking at the Ice Jade Scorpion, its offensive became increasingly fierce and rapid, and the chill of the Ultimate Ice swept over in layers like a tide!

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, this Ice Jade Scorpion held back somewhat and was not in a hurry to finish the battle quickly, which also gave Zhang Lexuan an opportunity to fight to the death once again!

"Eighth Spirit Ability — — Blood Moon Like Prison!"

The next instant, Zhang Lexuan's first three spirit rings and eighth spirit ring shone brilliantly once again, and the second Spirit Ability possessed by the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was abruptly activated!

A weeping-blood crescent moon fell from the firmament, and countless blood-colored moonlight beams, like strands of scarlet chains, tightly imprisoned the Ice Jade Scorpion below!

"Hiss — — ! !"

Caught off guard and suppressed by the blood moon, the Ice Jade Scorpion immediately let out an enraged, sharp hiss!

"Junior Brother! Quick!"

Seeing this, Lin Yan, who had already been fully prepared, instantly dashed out, and the Prajna Heart Lamp deep within his Sea of Consciousness simultaneously bloomed with brilliant divine light of wisdom!

Although the core trait of the Prajna Heart Lamp was to sublimate Comprehension Ability and amplify wisdom, it was by no means devoid of lethal and offensive power!

The exquisitely burning fire of wisdom could burn away all memories, emotions, thoughts, and consciousness of all living beings in the world... plunging their awareness into silence and obscuring their true Spirits!

As the divine light of wisdom penetrated the Sea of Consciousness and reflected onto the outside world, the thoughts of all living creatures in the entire heaven and earth fell into stagnation, leaving only Lin Yan's figure rapidly approaching!

The next split second, the Prajna Heart Lamp manifested out of thin air, and the fire of wisdom dancing on the lampstand swept outward the moment it approached the Ice Jade Scorpion, with its firelight blazing brightly!

The fire of wisdom ignited the mind, causing the Ice Jade Scorpion's memories to dissipate rapidly, its emotions to be completely stripped away, and its thoughts to turn into a blank...

"Just at the moment when it was about to completely sink and its consciousness was about to be silenced, an indifferent and majestic voice abruptly appeared deep within its mind: "Return quickly!""

That was the voice of their — — King!

Seizing this fleeting clarity, a blindingly dazzling green spiritual light suddenly erupted around the Ice Jade Scorpion's body!

"Ice Explosion!!!"

The terrifying Ice Explosion Technique was abruptly detonated, and the endless ice surrounding the Ice Jade Scorpion triggered a devastating and violent explosion!

In an instant, the blood-colored moon chains shattered and dissipated, and the Ice Jade Scorpion broke free from the restraints!

The moment it completely woke up, the fire of wisdom on the Prajna Heart Lamp went out and it instantly flew back in reverse, sinking once again into Lin Yan's Sea of Consciousness.

At the same time, before Lin Yan, who was at the core of the explosion, had time to dodge, a silver figure suddenly blocked in front of him!

The remaining momentum of the rampaging ice explosion did not diminish, fiercely bombarding Zhang Lexuan's back!

"Puff — —!"

Zhang Lexuan instantly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, and before the blood water could hit the ground, it had already formed crimson ice pearls, all of which struck Lin Yan's face.

The Spirit phantom behind her shattered and dissipated, and her entire person, like a kite with a broken string, heavily smashed into the snow and ice together with Lin Yan!

"Sister Lexuan! Brother — —!"

Jiang Nannan in the distance changed expression drastically, let out an exclamation, and ran over frantically regardless of everything!

Not far away, the Ice Jade Scorpion that had broken free from the restraint rapidly retreated, its pair of emerald-green compound eyes locking onto Lin Yan tightly, deep dread and panic surging at the bottom of its eyes!

If not for the King suddenly calling it just now, it would have almost been killed by this human with an insignificant aura!

Feeling that the King in its heart was still continuously urging it to return, the Ice Jade Scorpion gave a wary glance at Lin Yan, who was also staring at it fixedly in the distance, hissed, turned into a green stream of light, and rapidly escaped into the depths of the snowy plain.

Lin Yan picked up Zhang Lexuan, who had already fallen into a coma, and stood up. Looking at the distant back of the Ice Jade Scorpion, his heartstrings, which had been tightened to the extreme, finally relaxed slightly!

Although the remaining "lamp oil" of the Prajna Heart Lamp was still enough for him to launch an identical attack, without Zhang Lexuan's imprisonment and containment, he would fundamentally never have such an opportunity again!

"Brother... It left?"

Jiang Nannan's voice carried a trace of trembling, as well as some incredulity of surviving a catastrophe.

Lin Yan quickly snapped back to his senses, yet there was not the slightest bit of relaxation on his face, and his expression remained solemn.

This terrifying Ice Jade Scorpion had indeed left, but he could sense that other Spirit Beasts in the rear were still rapidly chasing after them!

Without a moment of hesitation, Lin Yan immediately picked up the severely injured Zhang Lexuan, pulled Jiang Nannan, and once again rapidly departed toward the distant place!

...

At the same time, deep within the Extreme North, inside a secluded iceberg mountain belly.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties with a relatively short stature shouted sternly and furiously at an ordinary-looking, honest-looking youth: "Luo Ye!"

"What on earth have you done!"

"Do you want us all to die here!!?"

"Facing the angry reprimand, Luo Ye's expression did not change at all. With his usual honest and reliable appearance, he said: "Hall Master Mortal World need not worry, we will definitely not get into trouble. When has anything I ever done gone wrong?""

Mirror Mortal World's gaze was sharp as Mirror Mortal World looked at the full-of-confidence Luo Ye. Suppressing the anger in Mirror Mortal World's heart slightly, Mirror Mortal World said in a deep voice: "Tell me honestly, what on earth did you do to provoke such fury from the Ice Emperor and Snow Empress?"

"We are currently grasshoppers on the same rope, at least you need to let me understand what on earth has happened!"

"Facing the questioning, Luo Ye had no intention of revealing anything, only saying in a resolute tone: "Hall Master Mortal World, you only need to wait at ease. When the time comes, I naturally have a way to get away!""

Seeing Luo Ye's hooligan-like attitude, realizing that not a shred of a clue could be asked out of Luo Ye, and also wary of Luo Ye's identity, Mirror Mortal World had no choice but to suppress a full heart of irritability and anger, leave a warning, and turn to walk toward the other side of the ice cave, out of sight, out of mind.

After Mirror Mortal World completely walked far away, the honest and reliable look on Luo Ye's face instantly vanished into thin air, and his expression suddenly turned cold.

Setting up the anti-peeping spirit tool, Luo Ye immediately took out a tattered bronze mirror from the storage spirit tool, and whispered: "Precious mirror, precious mirror, tell me, how can I safely leave the Extreme North?"

As Luo Ye's voice fell, a line of clear handwriting slowly emerged on the originally dim and ordinary mirror surface.

[Answering this question requires 3000 points of energy — — (Payment completed)]

The next moment, the handwriting changed again!

[When an ice-blue flame ignites in the sky of the Extreme North, go two kilometers south from here, then turn east... and finally travel 20 kilometers west to leave the Extreme North.]

Seeing the words appearing on the mirror surface without any change compared to before, Luo Ye's heart completely let out!

Luo Ye had always felt that he was very lucky. He was originally a nameless beggar in a remote town of the Sun Moon Empire.

But until one day, he picked up this mysterious precious mirror that could answer any of his questions.

From then on, his life completely changed!
