408: Chapter 406: Watching from the sidelines, assisting in defeating the enemy

Inside the qianyuan jade bottle, Gu Shengge was almost amused to the point of laughter.

The surroundings of this jade bottle were filled with Earth Fire, Wind, and Thunder, all triggered simultaneously, presenting a power of refining and Fusion.

At the bottom of the bottle, where Gu Shengge stood, there were many scattered skeletal remains.

There was no Life Qi left on them; all their vitality and cultivation had already been refined.

Gu Shengge circulated his cultivation, and Space Dao Principles flowed to protect himself, but he did not forcefully strike against the qianyuan jade bottle.

There was no need for that; he was confident that this jade bottle could not refine him.

A chaotic battle was happening outside, and being able to hide here was a good choice.

Outside, Xuan Ling and Hou Ying, no longer having Gu Shengge as a distraction, immediately lunged forward to attack.

The two massive Ice and Snow Giants also tore through the swirling snow curtain, their enormous fists smashing forward, wreathed in deep blue, extremely cold aura, like a swimming Dragon.

Hou Ying transformed into his beast form, his massive beast body ten thousand zhang tall, on par with the Ice and Snow Giant.

His dark purple skin shimmered with a ghostly light as he also punched out, colliding with the giant fist of the Ice and Snow Giant.

Amidst the tremendous sound of impact, the swirling heavy snow collapsed and scattered.

Beneath their feet, monstrous snow waves were kicked up, and the thick layers of ice and snow were swept away by the unleashed energy, revealing the ice layers beneath that had been accumulating for who knows how many years.

After the first punch, the massive Ice and Snow Giant struck again rapidly, its fists whipping up fierce winds as it smashed down madly.

Hou Ying was fearless and responded in kind, the battle situation becoming exceptionally intense.

Xuan Ling had also engaged in battle here.

He formed a sword seal with his hands, and countless rays of Sword Qi appeared, humming amidst the heavy snow.

The falling snowflakes were shredded into dust by the scattered Sword Qi before they could even get close, dissipating into nothingness.

A large area, under the influence of the Sword Qi, actually stopped snowing.

The Ice and Snow Giant he was facing did not care about that; it roared and charged over.

"Sword Nine, Wangchuan Rushing Flow!"

Sword Qi gathered into a long river.

Inside the qianyuan jade bottle, Gu Shengge could even hear the sound of a great river rushing.

Through the jade bottle, his heavy pupils saw the Sword Qi outside transform into the Wangchuan River, tearing through the snow curtain and rushing towards the Ice and Snow Giant like a giant Dragon.

The Ice and Snow Giant roared and raised its hands horizontally.

The next moment, endless icicles shot out, carrying extreme cold and sharpness, approaching at high speed.

The river of Sword Qi collided with the icicles, causing debris to fly everywhere.

The shattered ice, like meteorites falling from the sky, smashed onto the snowfield, kicking up an endless storm.

Neither side held back; they used major killing moves right from the start of the engagement.

Gu Shengge scanned with his heavy pupils, searching for the trail of Dao Monarch Ziyuan amidst the slow-drifting snow.

The situation in this area was unclear, and it seemed as if Dao Monarch Ziyuan had gained control of this region, or rather, had left behind various contingencies in this area.

However, it was certain that he had not yet recovered his strength, nor could he obtain help from the System.

Otherwise, he would not be feeling compelled to hide in the dark.

The swirling heavy snow could not block Gu Shengge's heavy pupils at all.

Behind the snow curtain, a pale golden phantom was watching.

On his forehead was a yellow talisman paper, the vermilion runes on it containing Dao charm and emitting a strange power, allowing him to remain uncorroded in this world.

Gu Shengge investigated the runes on the talisman paper; this was perhaps the key to Dao Monarch Ziyuan's ability to resist the extreme cold.

On the talisman, the vermilion ink flowed smoothly, likely completed in a single stroke, but it was extremely difficult for Gu Shengge to comprehend.

Those runes seemed to be imbued with some kind of secret power.

When he comprehended one part and wanted to comprehend another, as he comprehended the second part, the content of the first part would actually disappear, making it impossible to comprehend it fully.

At this moment, the talisman on Dao Monarch Ziyuan's forehead suddenly flashed with red divine light.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan shuddered, his gaze scanning around.

He likely knew that someone was watching him, just not who it was or where they were.

In this area, he could protect himself, but he could not investigate at will.

He suddenly grinned and muttered something.

Reading his lips, it was: "He with the heavy pupils, Gu Shengge, this old man knows it is you. Do not be anxious; once they are dead, it will be your turn."

Gu Shengge's eyes were cold; the old thing was quite sharp to have guessed it so quickly.

But it did not matter; Gu Shengge would not give him the chance to deal with him.

"I know where Dao Monarch Ziyuan is!" Gu Shengge shouted.

His voice reached outside the qianyuan jade bottle, and both Xuan Ling and Hou Ying heard it.

Xuan Ling coldly said, "Gu Shengge, is that really true?"

"Naturally, it is true. Thirty miles to the northeast, he is watching us from behind the snow curtain!"

Hou Ying and Xuan Ling simultaneously cast their gazes there, their cold, murderous intent seemingly piercing through layers of snow curtain to see Dao Monarch Ziyuan hiding there.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan had originally been full of confidence, but now, suddenly meeting the gazes of Xuan Ling and Hou Ying, he immediately became alert and cursed Gu Shengge repeatedly.

"Little bastard, to actually reveal my tracks to those two, you truly deserve to die!"

Gu Shengge grinned, "Hurry and shake off these two Ice and Snow Giants. If we chase after him, we should be able to catch him!"

Xuan Ling did not doubt him; he exchanged a glance with Hou Ying and immediately chased toward Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

At the same time, the Law power that Xuan Ling had applied to the qianyuan jade bottle weakened significantly, likely because he did not intend to refine Gu Shengge anymore, at least not for now.

The two Ice and Snow Giants seemed to have detected their intention and began to pursue.

They waved their large hands, and the wind and snow in the world roared along with them, with vast amounts of snowflakes scattering.

Suddenly, Xuan Ling and Hou Ying dodged rapidly.

The Perfection Great Dao divine rings on their bodies shone, illuminating the snowfield with purple and dark green divine light.

In the wind and snow, thousands of giant icicles shot out, each one like a massive mountain, wreathed in the same aura as those Ice and Snow Giants.

The massive icicles were too dense.

No matter how timely Hou Ying and Xuan Ling reacted, they could not dodge them all and had to choose to forcefully defend against some.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sounds of heavy impacts came from outside.

Hou Ying and Xuan Ling were somewhat overwhelmed, their Perfection Great Dao divine rings continuously bursting with divine light, shattering the icicles one by one.

Two roars came from behind, and the massive Ice and Snow Giants had already caught up.

Moreover, this time their target was very clear: it was Xuan Ling.

One of the Ice and Snow Giants came abruptly and grabbed one of Xuan Ling's feet.

Within the torn flesh, the extreme cold aura continued to invade, instantly turning his lower leg into ice.

Xuan Ling felt the extreme cold aura still spreading upwards and smashed a fist onto his thigh.

The part below the thigh broke off in response.

Dark green blood scattered and landed on the face of the Ice and Snow Giant that was chasing from behind, causing a large amount of smoke to rise.

Half of that Ice and Snow Giant's face was instantly corroded away.

However, its healing speed was also incredibly fast, recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was despair-inducing.
