410: Chapter 408: Frustrated Xuan Ling, Mad Hou Ying

At this moment, Daoist Xuan Ling and Hou Ying tensed up all over and instantly rushed into the divine rainbow passage.

The opportunity was fleeting, but they seized it, transforming into divine rainbows and rapidly approaching, intending to suppress and kill Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

Their faces were contorted, their killing intent vast, as they locked onto Dao Monarch Ziyuan. Yet, they found that the other party showed no fear at all, nor any sign of resistance or escape, which was very strange.

This was an unmissable opportunity, and they couldn't afford to care about anything else. Their palms gathered killing Qi, and their respective Perfection Daos transformed into divine blades. They dared not give Dao Monarch Ziyuan another chance; a single fatal blow was required!

The divine rainbows whistled, and two Perfection Dao divine blades instantly descended, striking Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

"Bang!"

A violent energy fluctuation erupted from the place they attacked. The aftermath of the explosion sent both of them staggering back several steps, only managing to stabilize themselves by erecting an energy barrier.

Looking ahead again, both of them couldn't help but widen their eyes. In front was a huge crater, which turned out to be an ice wall of unknown thickness. The one they had seen earlier was merely an image of Dao Monarch Ziyuan!

As the two were astonished, tall ice walls suddenly shot out from all directions, imbued with Formation Divine Runes. In an instant, this area transformed into a mirror world, with countless icy mirrors, each containing an image of Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

They released their Divine Thought, but couldn't probe very far at all, unable to discern which was Dao Monarch Ziyuan's true body.

Daoist Xuan Ling was filled with immense regret. If only he hadn't trusted that little beast Gu Shengge. If Gu Shengge were here, with his Double Pupils, he would surely be able to see through the illusions and locate Dao Monarch Ziyuan's hiding place!

"Xuan Ling, Hou Ying, this is just the beginning."

The voice came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint Dao Monarch Ziyuan's location. Hou Ying roared in fury, a powerful ferocious might erupting from him. Surging Demonic Qi rolled outwards, shattering large swathes of the icy mirrors.

However, those icy mirrors seemed endless, appearing one after another, and Dao Monarch Ziyuan's figure always remained.

Hou Ying was thoroughly enraged, his Yao Beast nature erupting, gradually losing his rationality.

Daoist Xuan Ling quietly retreated to the rear. Hou Ying was a Yao Beast after all; even with his current cultivation, he was still foolish in a state of rage. Let him take the lead for now, and he would seize the opportunity to act!

All around were vibrating energy and shattered ice shards. The scene here grew increasingly terrifying, and Dao Monarch Ziyuan's mocking laughter grew louder.

Compared to the chaos in that area, Gu Shengge's location was now calm.

Four colossal Ice and Snow Giants were still sprawled outside the ice and snow wall, watching the situation inside the ice wall, unaware of Gu Shengge, who had already slipped outside.

Gu Shengge hid within the qianyuan jade bottle, but his Double Pupils never rested, observing every move of Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

Inside the towering ice and snow city wall, Dao Monarch Ziyuan was in the very center of the city, surrounded by four ice mirrors. These four ice mirrors had metal frames, unlike the outer ice mirrors that could be shattered at will.

Gu Shengge roughly understood that these ice mirrors were the reason Dao Monarch Ziyuan could project his image in all directions.

Outside the ice wall, the four Ice and Snow Giants suddenly scaled the wall, charging into the ice wall's interior, heading to attack Hou Ying and Daoist Xuan Ling.

The internal battle grew increasingly chaotic, with violent spiritual energy surging, stirring up one blizzard after another.

Gu Shengge also began to act, his Double Pupils leading the way. The qianyuan jade bottle directly approached Dao Monarch Ziyuan in the distance. Amidst the chaotic energy impact, it was difficult to detect Gu Shengge, who had concealed his cultivation.

Perhaps due to the closer distance, Daoist Xuan Ling's eyes flickered slightly, and the spiritual sword beside Gu Shengge also let out a faint hum.

This caused Gu Shengge to frown deeply. He took out the yin-yang great mill and threw the spiritual sword back in, continuing to grind away the Divine Soul Imprint on it.

This sword had been purifying in the yin-yang great mill for so long, yet there were still traces of Daoist Xuan Ling's Divine Soul Imprint remaining. Truly hateful!

Inside the ice wall, Daoist Xuan Ling's eyes flickered. He had clearly sensed a trace of the spiritual sword's aura just now, so why was there suddenly nothing?

However, one thing was certain: Gu Shengge was definitely close to this area.

He gritted his teeth in hatred for Gu Shengge, but now he had no choice but to hope that Gu Shengge could kill Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

For this, he even had to proactively attract Dao Monarch Ziyuan's attention for Gu Shengge... He was extremely aggrieved, yet helpless.

Hou Ying became increasingly frenzied, his massive beast body crashing through the ice mirror Formation, attempting to tear open a gap in this icy city. He continuously impacted the ice mirrors, having already reached the edge of the icy city wall, only to see four Ice and Snow Giants charging in, cornering him in another direction.

Seeing this, Daoist Xuan Ling's eyes flashed with a cold light. On Gu Shengge's side, the spiritual sword within the yin-yang great mill vibrated even more intensely, and Daoist Xuan Ling's voice also came through.

"Gu Shengge, you can have this heavenly spiritual treasure. As long as you kill Dao Monarch Ziyuan, I will immediately erase the Divine Soul Imprint on it, guaranteeing not a single trace will remain!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengge entered the yin-yang great mill and saw the violently vibrating spiritual sword.

"Senior Xuan Ling, are you still trying to threaten me? If I don't act, this spiritual sword will still be mine after you die."

"If you know what's good for you, erase your Divine Soul Imprint now, otherwise I won't make a move. I'll just wait for your demise and pick up this heavenly spiritual treasure for free!"

Daoist Xuan Ling roared in fury: "What good will that do you? Will Dao Monarch Ziyuan let you go? Don't bring trouble upon yourself!"

Gu Shengge remained completely unfazed: "That's your concern after you die; you don't need to worry about it."

Daoist Xuan Ling forcibly contacted Gu Shengge through the spiritual sword, but met with a rebuff and was now extremely unwilling.

Feeling the Divine Soul Imprint on the spiritual sword growing weaker and weaker, he said grumpily: "Fine! I can remove the Divine Soul Imprint on it, but when will you act? Hou Ying has already entered a frenzied state; he won't last much longer!"

Gu Shengge chuckled: "Well, there's still Senior Xuan Ling! Anyway, you both should go all out, preferably fighting Dao Monarch Ziyuan to a mutual destruction. That way, it'll be easier for me to make my move."

"You... you're too much!" Daoist Xuan Ling rebuked angrily.

Gu Shengge completely ignored him. Daoist Xuan Ling, helpless, gritted his teeth and said: "Then at least tell me where Dao Monarch Ziyuan is, right?"

At this point, he truly dared not provoke Gu Shengge. Without Gu Shengge's Double Pupils, he and Hou Ying were like blind men, only able to be toyed with by Dao Monarch Ziyuan!

Gu Shengge didn't hide anything and immediately informed Daoist Xuan Ling of Dao Monarch Ziyuan's coordinates that he had mapped out.

There was truly no other way. If Daoist Xuan Ling and Hou Ying continued to be depleted like this, they might really be suppressed and killed by Dao Monarch Ziyuan. A balance had to be struck.

Daoist Xuan Ling's gaze swept around, quickly locking onto the target according to the coordinates Gu Shengge had mapped.

He didn't act immediately but rushed towards Hou Ying, needing to bring him along. (End of Chapter)
