171: If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response.

Lin Ye's Solar Spirit Qi surged around him, and the Golden Crow's phantom spread its wings behind him, its scorching Qi forcing the surrounding wriggling blood-colored vines to retreat repeatedly.

Wen Wan, standing beside him, followed closely, forming a hand seal with her jade-like hand to activate Icy Spirit Qi, condensing an ice crystal barrier at the edge of the opening to temporarily freeze the tips of the vines attempting to close.

"The Way of Frost?" A flicker of light passed through Li Xiangyun's eyes.

Wen Wan had always seemed extremely mysterious, not only taciturn but also rarely making a move.

He hadn't expected her to use Frost Dao Intent this time?

However, Li Xiangyun didn't say anything; instead, he also activated his Frost Dao Intent to reinforce the ice crystal barrier Wen Wan had created.

Seeing this, the others quickly rushed towards this temporary opening.

"Wen Wan, you and Brother Li cover our retreat!" Lin Ye said without looking back, condensing another fireball in his palm and blasting it at the vines flutter coming from the side.

Li Xiangyun nodded at the words, not replying, but choosing to acquiesce.

After all, in the current situation, someone had to cover the retreat, and it couldn't be all people from the Big Dipper Star Region.

Otherwise, the others would certainly be dissatisfied, so one person from each team was the best choice.

Among the three of them, Deng Qi and Tang Fu were not strong enough to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Therefore, it could only be him.

What's more, Lin Ye allowing one of the only two Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators in the team to cover the retreat with him was already quite loyal.

Therefore, he naturally had no complaints.

Before long, everyone else had passed through the passage.

And Li Xiangyun and Wen Wan naturally became the Blood-Eyed Vine Emperor's focused targets.

Perhaps fueled by the rage of its prey escaping, a fishy wind, carrying vines, rushed towards them with hissing sounds.

The dense blood-colored vines, like a surging crimson tide, spread madly from all directions, even from above their heads.

Countless blood-red eyes on the crimson vines flickered with greedy light, almost devouring this small space completely.

Wen Wan stood beside Li Xiangyun, her plain white skirt fluttering in the strong wind; facing this impending disaster, her face showed no panic, only a hint of determination.

She lightly raised her fair wrist, Spirit Qi surged within her, and she let out a clear shout: "Wind and Snow Annihilation · Finale!"

Before her words finished, a visible pale cold Qi erupted from her palm, and a sky-full of wind and snow swept through the space; if not for the suppression of the black mist, it would probably have been enough to sweep across heaven and earth.

At the same time, this wind and snow were not ordinary ice and snow, but an extremely cold power containing the Intent of Annihilation; wherever it passed, the air seemed to be frozen and torn apart.

The howling wind and snow collided with the surging blood-colored vines; those indestructible vines, like paper meeting a raging fire, were instantly enveloped in a thick layer of ice crystals.

Immediately after, under the strangulation of the wind and snow, they shattered with a crack, and the Life Qi contained within the vines was completely annihilated, turning into dust and scattering in the wind.

A vast expanse of frozen scenery unfolded before the tide of vines, temporarily curbing the overwhelming offensive.

After doing all this, Wen Wan turned to look at Li Xiangyun, her pair of icy eyes showing no warmth, completely contrary to her previous demeanor.

Seeing all this, Li Xiangyun took a deep breath, finally understanding the Dao Intent Wen Wan Cultivated.

It turned out to be the Way of Wind and Snow... but he never expected this Way of Wind and Snow to be so powerful.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the path he had walked during this period.

From the initial Ice Glaze Dao Intent, to the Nine Nether Sword Art, and now to the Yin-Yang Life-Death Sword Intent... was Frost Dao Intent really weak?

Li Xiangyun questioned his true heart.

At this moment, he decided to use Frost Dao Intent to face the enemy, his once most powerful killing move!

He slightly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the profound principles of Yin-Yang Dao, forming a hand seal with his fingertips, and comprehending the principles of balance and transformation he felt during the circulation of Yin and Yang Qi.

Yin-Yang Dao, mutually generating and restraining, endlessly circulating.

He transformed the Dao Intent of Fire into the Dao Intent of Water, and then transformed the Dao Intent of Water into the ultimate Frost Dao Intent.

The Yin and Yang diagram within his body spun wildly; the white fish representing Yang began to dissipate, finally turning into a white dot, and the black fish representing Yin began to rapidly expand.

Finally, the white dot and the black fish began to merge into one; at this point, the black fish had eyes, and it seemed to have Life Qi.

It swam curiously in Li Xiangyun's mind, like a newborn child observing its surroundings, full of curiosity about the world.

It was so agile, so wondrous... At this moment, outside.

The previously frozen blood-colored vines began to struggle madly.

The surface of the ice began to show spiderweb-like cracks; deep within those seemingly annihilated vines, an even denser blood-colored light surged, carrying ferocity and brutality, madly impacting the ice's restraint.

The remnants of vines that had been pulverized by the wind and snow also began to wriggle and gather again under the nourishment of the blood-colored light, seemingly about to break through the barrier.

At this moment, Li Xiangyun still had his eyes tightly closed, with only a surge of coldness around him.

At this, Wen Wan looked at Li Xiangyun as if he were an idiot; with her insight, how could she not see that Li Xiangyun was comprehending the Dao?

But comprehending the Dao at this time, wasn't that courting death?

So, she turned and left without hesitation.

However, as she turned, a hint of disappointment entered Wen Wan's gaze towards Li Xiangyun.

Just then, several of the thickest vines had already broken through most of the ice, carrying a fishy wind, and shot towards the defenseless Li Xiangyun like venomous snakes.

The blood-red eyes at the tips flickered with crimson light, less than an inch from Li Xiangyun's eyes, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped him.

At the critical moment, accompanied by the black fish's pulsation, Li Xiangyun finally comprehended.

Yin and Yang rotate, extreme cold brings change; the so-called Way of Frost is itself a state of the Way of Water when attacking, and also a manifestation of Yin-Yang Dao.

Just like the Yin Qi he carried when he displayed the Yin-Yang Life-Death Sword Intent.

Under the deduction of the Yin and Yang principles, his Frost Dao Intent actually touched that most fundamental boundary—Law!

Li Xiangyun suddenly realized that the Way of Frost was by no means merely freezing and low temperature, but also the solidification of order, the concretization of balance, an eternal manifestation of Yin and Yang Qi in an extreme state.

Just as when Yin Qi is powerful enough, frost appears, this is the most essential manifestation of the world.

"Buzz~"

Li Xiangyun's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

If Dao Intent is not enough, then what if I skip the Domain and go straight to Law!!

At this moment, the Way of Frost did not betray his trust, emitting its unique resonance.

In an instant, a dazzling white light burst from his eyes, not the coldness of wind and snow like Wen Wan's, but a purer, more Origin, ultimate light.

Wherever the light reached, time seemed to slow down; the blood-colored vine about to touch his eyes, its ferocious posture, the surging blood-colored light, and even the airflow wrapped around the tip of the vine, all became sluggish and stiff in this white light.

As if a pause button had been pressed. The entire world, at this moment, seemed to be completely frozen and still.
