289: You stand still and don't move!

Once Shen Nian stepped out, he instantly drew the attention of everyone present.

Inside the carriage.

Baize jumped out, ran to the roof of the carriage, and looked ahead proudly.

"The Tengshe Clan?"

"This Bloodline must have mutated; this is somewhat interesting..."

At the same time.

"Fanxu."

"Emperor Shen?"

The several members of the Tuoba Clan who were heavily injured not far away looked over, their expressions showing a hint of excitement upon seeing that figure in black.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man wearing wolf-tooth earrings remained solemn, his gaze fixed tightly on Tuoba Ling.

Meanwhile.

Teng Xi, who was holding Tuoba Ling by the throat, had a slight change in expression; she raised her brows, her eyes filled with a hint of disbelief.

"He actually came to the Heavenly Abyss..."

"He is truly young and hot-headed. As expected, the Prodigy of the Human Race is most easily provoked, especially those from the Shen Family..."

After seeing that it was Shen Nian, she felt much more at ease. As long as it was not a Peak Hedao expert, the trump cards she held were sufficient for her to escape this place.

However...

"This Princess would like to see if you are truly as strong as the rumors suggest."

Since they had encountered each other, how could Teng Xi just leave like that? With many trump cards in hand, plus the speed that her Tengshe Clan excelled at, she was confident she could protect herself, even if she couldn't guarantee she could defeat Shen Nian.

Furthermore, since Shen Nian's greatest strength was his sword, did that not mean that if she could take him down before he drew his sword...

Thinking of this.

A thought crossed Teng Xi's eyes; if she could take him down, this trip would be a massive gain.

The bounty from the Heavenly Demon Palace would be more than enough to cover the losses from this time!

The next second.

"You are Shen Nian?" Teng Xi looked ahead, her multicolored pupils slowly rotating, and a soul-captivating magic slowly radiated from her.

Hmm?

"He can actually resist my charm technique and remain completely unaffected? His Divine Soul is somewhat extraordinary."

Shen Nian merely glanced at her indifferently, saying nothing.

He then swept his gaze toward the young girl being held in her hand. Seeing Tuoba Ling looking at him with excited eyes, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

The next instant.

Terrifying Sword Intent circulated around Shen Nian's body, instantly causing the entire world to tremble.

Those of the Yao Race trembled uncontrollably, and Teng Yuan even swallowed a gulp of saliva, involuntarily taking a step back.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream rang out; blood flowed down Tuoba Ling's neck as those long fingernails sank deep into her fair, tender flesh.

"Young Miss!!" the middle-aged man of the Tuoba Clan shouted in a panic, his face full of agitation as he clenched his fists tightly.

"Shen Nian, if you dare to draw your sword, she will die!"

"As the Human Emperor of this generation, surely you wouldn't abandon the Human Race, would you?"

Teng Xi revealed a meaningful smile, her gaze somewhat provocative, and then added, "Come over here, and do not use any Sword Qi. How about I let her go?"

Heh.

As long as she got close to Shen Nian, with her mutated Ice Demon body, she would have enough to take him down. Furthermore, she could unleash her many abilities, or even use a Magic Treasure to forcibly suppress and kill him!

According to the intelligence, Shen Nian's greatest strength was the Dao of the Sword, which seemed to require some time to unleash. Judging by his performance against the Xiangliu Clan, his Physical Body was not weak, but it was not enough to threaten her.

Only at such a close distance did she have a hundred percent certainty!

Even if, in the worst-case scenario, she couldn't take down Shen Nian, her innate speed would be more than enough for her to retreat. This was a deal that wouldn't result in a loss.

"Emperor... Emperor Shen... don't..." Tuoba Ling said with difficulty, her whole body trembling.

The middle-aged man of the Tuoba Clan not far away sank into a grim expression, then looked at the figure in black, wanting to speak but holding back.

Shen Nian was the Head of the Shen Family; there was no need to elaborate on how important he was to the Human Race.

How could he let someone else take such a risk to save his Young Miss?

"Emperor Shen!"

"You must absolutely not agree to this vile beast!" Li Kui said with a stern expression.

On the carriage.

"Master, do you need your subordinate to act?" Zuo Wuhen raised an eyebrow and transmitted his voice respectfully.

With his strength, he could completely freeze this space-time, save that woman, and then slaughter the Elder Princess of the Tengshe Clan.

"No need."

A calm voice transmission sounded. Zuo Wuhen was somewhat puzzled, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.

On the carriage.

"Heh."

"She really knows how to pick."

"This snake woman must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Daring to let an Innate Chaos Body get close? Ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to tear her apart. Not to mention, who knows what Body Refining method this kid has practiced—his Physical Body is almost at the Hedao Realm. Is this someone you can mess with?" Baize sat with his legs crossed, wearing an expression of watching a show, a sneer on his lips.

"Very well," Shen Nian said softly, stepping forward.

Just as I intended!

He wanted to test exactly what level his current Physical Body strength had reached.

This calm response rang out, immediately causing Li Kui to become agitated. He wanted to say something, but a feeling of suffocation washed over him, and he collapsed to the ground, only able to watch the scene before him weakly.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man of the Tuoba Clan looked at Shen Nian with a face full of gratitude and slowly knelt down; the meaning was self-evident.

Tuoba Ling's eyes instantly turned red. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound, only tears falling.

"Hmm!"

"There's a chance!" Teng Yuan, watching this scene, immediately perked up.

"Wait a moment!" Teng Xi frowned slightly and added, "Stand where you are and don't move."

She felt that Shen Nian had agreed too readily.

It felt like a trap!

To be safe, she decided to make Shen Nian stand where he was first, then unleash her Bloodline Divine Ability to trap him directly. That way, even if his Physical Body could rival a royal clan member of the same Realm, it would be useless!

"If you say one more word of nonsense, you die." Shen Nian stood where he was, a hint of chill radiating from his eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, Teng Xi trembled slightly. A chill surged from the bottom of her heart and spread throughout her entire body.

"Heh."

"As expected of Emperor Shen, who slew Demon Xiang Wu with a single sword stroke. Truly domineering."

"This Princess would like to see how you will make me..."

Teng Xi also revealed a hint of anger. It was the first time she had been frightened by the words of a human, which made her—someone with deep-seated arrogance—very unhappy!

Especially since the other party was a man!

She had always despised men!

The next second.

Teng Xi extended her slender fingers, pointing at Shen Nian as terrifying power of the Dao surged forth.

Boom!

The world suddenly changed color. The entire sky reflected a massive blue demonic pattern, and piercing cold radiated through the air. The temperature here was dropping at a terrifying speed.

Until it felt as if even space itself could be frozen!

At the same time, a magnificent ice crystal dao palace slowly rose behind Teng Xi, emitting an ancient aura...

And with Shen Nian as the center, a magnificent world of ice unfolded. Snowflakes drifted in the world, and the temperature was so low that even Spiritual Qi could be frozen.

Unknown to anyone, ice snakes had coiled around his feet, instantly immobilizing him and then wrapping around his entire body.

The ice snakes quickly crawled onto Shen Nian's shoulders, opening their bloody maws to reveal sharp fangs, their scarlet snake pupils swirling with five colors.

At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Teng Xi's face, and there was a hint of excitement in her heart.

The Ice Realm she had unleashed—even if a Fanxu Cultivator two levels higher than her were caught in it, they would absolutely be unable to make any waves. Inside it, she was the Ice Realm Empress!

"Heh, let's see how you escape this time!" Teng Xi finally revealed a smile, and then directly threw Tuoba Ling aside.

How could she be as important as Shen Nian!

At this moment, she had to go all out to take down Shen Nian as quickly as possible, while also guarding against that coachman whose Realm she couldn't discern.

She had long noticed the coachman's presence and was ready at any moment to crush the Talisman refined by the Qing Qiu Old Ancestor to escape, ensuring everything was foolproof.

Immediately after!

Thump!

Teng Xi's figure disappeared from where she stood, and the aura of the ice snakes coiling around Shen Nian surged instantly. The terrifying pressure silenced the world.

At this moment, everyone present was shocked!
