"Dou Zun?"
Just two simple words, yet they seemed to carry a mystical power that froze the very air of the world. The murderous aura generated by the disciples of Ice River Valley crumbled instantly under the weight of those words!
At the mouth of the valley, three figures walked in slowly. Mo Yu supported Xiao Yixian, while the "Necro Puppet" Qing Jian helped the gravely injured Black Bat King to his feet.
Seeing the faint trace of blood at the corner of Xiao Yixian's mouth and the unconscious Black Bat King lying not far away, a glint of killing intent and coldness flashed in Mo Yu's silver eyes.
"Did it succeed?"
Xiao Yixian looked at Qing Zhi behind Mo Yu, her voice filled with surprise.
Mo Yu smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Are you alright?"
"Just a minor injury, but Black Bat suffered a lot," Xiao Yixian replied with a slight shake of her head.
Mo Yu gently grasped her jade-like hand, and after probing her condition, he relaxed a little.
Turning his head toward the sky, his gaze landed on Elder Tian She, whose face was fluctuating between anger and unease. Mo Yu sneered, "This Elder sure wasn't holding back, was he?"
Elder Tian She cast a dark glance at Mo Yu, then snorted coldly, shifting his gaze to Qing Zhi.
Although Qing Zhi hadn't spoken a word since his arrival, the faint yet oppressive aura emanating from him made Elder Tian She feel as though his heart was being squeezed.
This sense of pressure—Elder Tian She had only felt it from the Valley Master of Ice River Valley and one other ancient monster, both of whom had truly stepped into the Dou Zun realm!
In other words, this emotionless man with golden eyes was undoubtedly a Dou Zun expert!
"This friend, regarding the matter of you killing our Ice River Valley Elder, we can let it slide. However, these people here—we cannot let them go. I hope you can give our Valley Master some face..."
Before Elder Tian She could finish his words, he was abruptly interrupted.
"This matter... is not for me to decide," Qing Zhi said flatly, shaking his head. He then walked to Mo Yu's side and respectfully said, "Master, I have completed the task. I successfully absorbed the Heavenly Cold Qi, and the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder has been fully restored to its peak!"
As his words fell, Qing Zhi ignored the Ice River Valley members entirely. With a wave of his hand, a bolt of silver lightning radiating a terrifying icy aura suddenly materialized.
When the icy white silver lightning appeared, the temperature in this already frigid valley dropped even further.
Receiving the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder from Qing Zhi, Mo Yu's face lit up with joy. Another Thunder Soul restored to its peak!
A smile curved at the corner of his lips. Entrusting the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder to Qing Zhi had indeed been the right decision.
Although Qing Zhi had absorbed all the energy within the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder, the exchange was worthwhile. Now, Mo Yu had a Dou Zun-level subordinate who was absolutely loyal.
Not far away, Elder Tian She's eyes flickered with greed as he observed the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder. As a strong figure from Ice River Valley, this type of ice-attribute treasure held immense allure for him.
But when he saw Qing Zhi's deferential attitude toward Mo Yu, shock rippled through his old eyes.
A Dou Zun expert! Such a strong figure, standing at the pinnacle of the continent, would never easily display such servility. Even within top-tier factions, Dou Zun experts carried their own dignity.
The sight made Elder Tian She doubt Mo Yu's background.
"This young friend, may I ask which faction you hail from? Perhaps our Valley Master has connections with your family," Elder Tian She said after a moment of thought.
Mo Yu sneered. "I'm merely a lone wanderer. As for your Valley Master, it's perfect—because I've been wanting his head!"
"You truly intend to make enemies of Ice River Valley? Don't think that having a Dou Zun on your side makes you invincible! Ice River Valley fears no one!"
Elder Tian She's face darkened further at Mo Yu's words. Stomping his snake staff against the void, he bellowed coldly.
Mo Yu simply smiled, unfazed. Turning to Qing Zhi, he said, "Eliminate them all. Leave no one alive."
Qing Zhi nodded slightly. A surge of intense cold erupted from him, causing the space around him to ripple violently.
Under this powerful fluctuation, even the scattered rocks around Qing Zhi began to tremble before disintegrating into countless grains of sand.
Seeing this, Elder Tian She's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. A Dou Zun was formidable, but driving him away so easily was impossible. After all, he had encountered Dou Zun experts before!
"Disciples of Ice River Valley, form the Hidden Dragon Profound Nether Formation!"
Elder Tian She barked orders as he swiftly moved into position. The other disciples trembled but quickly followed his commands. They spread out in a complex formation, with Elder Tian She standing at its core.
"Blood Sacrifice, Summon the Nether Dragon!"
Elder Tian She's sharp nails cut into his palm, and bright red blood spurted forth, merging with the dense cold air.
Opening his mouth, he unleashed a vast surge of deep blue cold air, which rapidly combined with the other gathered energies. The swirling mass twisted and condensed, eventually forming an enormous icy dragon, over a hundred meters long, that hovered menacingly in the sky.
The colossal dragon's body was covered with blood-colored veins, and its massive, glacial eyes radiated a chilling, crimson glow.
The dragon's appearance left Elder Tian She and the Ice River Valley disciples pale-faced.
"Attack!"
With a commanding roar, Elder Tian She pointed toward Qing Zhi. The icy dragon bellowed fiercely, unleashing a massive blast of freezing dragon breath that hurtled toward Qing Zhi. Even the space it passed began to crystallize into white frost.
Facing the incoming attack, Qing Zhi's expression remained unchanged. He calmly pointed a finger forward.
In response, a whirlwind of snow erupted around him, surging upward like a storm. The snow condensed into a massive, ice-white drill that pierced the heavens, creating violent ripples in the surrounding space.
Boom!
When the two forces collided, a deafening explosion echoed through the valley. Under the relentless drilling force of the ice drill, the spatial fabric twisted and folded until cracks began to appear.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The spatial distortions grew, and under Qing Zhi's attack, the icy dragon shattered into countless fragments.
As the dragon disintegrated, Elder Tian She and the Ice River Valley disciples simultaneously spat out blood, their faces turning ghostly pale.
Elder Tian She staggered back, his withered face pale as he finally steadied himself after taking more than a dozen steps.
Bang! Bang!
As Elder Tian She's figure was blasted back, the elite disciples of the Ice River Valley were similarly struck by a terrifying force, sent flying in all directions. They collapsed to the ground, their life or death uncertain.
"This person's control over ice... is unexpectedly strong!"
Stabilizing himself, Elder Tian She's eyes flashed with shock. His gaze quickly swept over the unconscious Ice River Valley disciples sprawled across the battlefield, his expression flickering.
With a single punch, the surrounding void twisted violently, and a pitch-black spatial tunnel appeared behind him.
"Bing Xiao, come with me!"
As the dark spatial tunnel materialized, Elder Tian She's hand shot out toward the three white-robed elders. A powerful suction force surged forth, pulling the defenseless trio to his side. Without hesitation, his figure darted toward the tunnel.
Witnessing this, Qing Zhi brought his hands together again, unleashing waves of icy energy rippling outward and rapidly spreading toward Elder Tian She.
Seeing the encroaching ice, Elder Tian She's expression darkened. A glint of ferocity flashed in his eyes as his palm slammed onto the backs of the three Ice River Valley elders. With a burst of wild energy, he sent them hurtling forward.
Boom! Boom!
Before they could react, the terrifying cold energy surged into their bodies, instantly freezing their Dou Qi. It swelled uncontrollably within them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three waves of icy explosions erupted, shattering Qing Zhi's ice-infused interference. However, the backlash also struck Elder Tian She. The icy shockwaves sliced like blades, severing his right arm entirely.
Letting out a cry of pain, Elder Tian She clenched his teeth. Ignoring his grievous injury, he stepped into the spinning spatial tunnel. His pale figure disappeared into its depths.
"Mountains don't move, but rivers do! This isn't over! Prepare for the Ice River Valley's vengeance!"
As his figure vanished, a venomous and chilling voice echoed from the dissipating tunnel, lingering at the entrance of the valley.
Watching Elder Tian She escape, Mo Yu furrowed his brows slightly. He hadn't expected someone who had not yet reached the Dou Zun realm to possess the ability to tear open space and flee. Moreover, the man had been ruthless enough to sacrifice three Dou Zong elders as pawns.
"Master, I have failed. I let the Ice River Valley expert escape," Qing Zhi said as he approached Mo Yu, bowing in guilt.
Hearing this, Mo Yu shook his head. "It's fine. He's just a small fry. Letting him go might even work to our advantage. It's better to lie in wait and lure the snake from its hole."
Mo Yu felt no particular emotion about Elder Tian She's escape. After all, Qing Zhi had only recently broken through to Dou Zun and was still unfamiliar with spatial powers. Such an outcome was understandable.
"Mo Yu, are you planning to use this Elder Tian She to lure the Ice River Valley's Valley Master out?" Xiao Yixian asked, a thoughtful expression on her face.
Mo Yu nodded slightly, smiling faintly. "Exactly. With Qing Zhi's strength now known to the Ice River Valley's higher-ups, the next move will surely involve the Valley Master personally.
"When that time comes, we'll have an opportunity..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian's face filled with concern. "The Ice River Valley's Valley Master is one of the continent's top experts. Even with Qing Zhi's current strength, I fear..."
Her voice trailed off as she looked at Mo Yu with a grave expression. "This plan is too dangerous. I don't want you risking yourself for me. Perhaps we should reconsider this hunt for the Ice River Valley..."
Before she could finish, Mo Yu interrupted her with a gentle gesture, stroking her waterfall-like hair. A confident smile lit his face. "Don't worry. Leave it all to me."
His silver eyes narrowed slightly, a plan already forming in his mind. After all, the Black Thunder Talisman gifted by Lei Ying still had two uses left. Using one for Xiao Yixian was a worthwhile trade.
Seeing the confidence in Mo Yu's expression, Xiao Yixian hesitated but eventually smiled and nodded.
Although Mo Yu was young, she always felt an inexplicable sense of reliability from him. This feeling drew her closer, making her trust him implicitly.
With Xiao Yixian's tension eased, Mo Yu smiled slightly and walked toward the battlefield. He picked up the severed arm of Elder Tian She.
While the arm itself held no particular value, the storage ring on its middle finger caught Mo Yu's interest.
Elder Tian She, being a peak Dou Zong expert with a high status in the Ice River Valley, might have some treasures worth exploring.
Mo Yu removed the white storage ring and probed it with his soul power.
Despite Elder Tian She's soul imprint, Mo Yu's current soul power was sufficient to break through in just a few minutes.
Sweeping his soul power through the ring, Mo Yu dismissed the large amount of gold coins and focused on the rare materials stored within, which brought a satisfied smile to his face.
Just as he was about to withdraw his soul power, a pale icy scroll in the corner of the ring caught his attention.
With a thought, the scroll appeared in his hand.
The icy scroll was larger than usual, glowing with a brilliant frosty sheen. Upon closer inspection, intricate icy-white patterns resembling veins spread across its surface, covering every inch.
Intrigued, Mo Yu unrolled the scroll.
As it unfurled, the scroll floated mid-air, releasing a faint chill.
Noticing the phenomenon, Xiao Yixian turned her gaze to the scroll. Her beautiful eyes widened as several large, radiant characters formed from icy light appeared before her.
"Ice Zun Technique!"
