Chapter 739: Breaking the Ice

a vibrant life was gone.“If you dare to slack off again, this will be your fate!” The short-haired giant brandished his long whip and looked at the frightened miners with a triumphant expression.The...Amongst several pairs of astonished eyes, a person who was originally frozen to the ground by the magic of an ice-type talisman, cracked with a sound, breaking free from the thick ice layer. At the same time, he pulled out the spikes embedded in his abdomen. The wound on his abdomen that was previously bleeding rapidly began to heal at a visible speed.

With a shudder, Lu Xia Tian shook off the ice shards covering his body. While his face was slightly paler and he still had some internal injuries, the depletion of power within his fa zhu didn't significantly affect him in the current duel.

As for why the assailant was a Soul-Reaping Infant Monk, Lu Xia Tian had also considered it. Originally, he wanted to attack Xiang Si Cheng the most, after all, this person's scheming was too deep. Lu Xia Tian faintly felt that although this person was still only in the middle stage of Jindan, he was his biggest threat.

This person has too many hidden methods, and Lu Xiaoteng doesn't have the confidence to kill him with one blow. Since that's the case, it's better to retreat and seek the next best thing, killing his party members and demanding the life-taking monk, cutting off one of his arms. If it were ordinary times, even if Xiang Sicheng lost the life-taking monk, it wouldn't be a big deal, after all, he had many powerful subordinates.

At this moment, the remnants of his allies had been decimated. Old Monster Mu had perished at the hands of the Iron Spines Demon Cat, while the Life-Taking Infant Monk was slain by Lu Xia Tian's surprise attack. Now Xiang Si Cheng was utterly alone, a solitary figure. Even if he possessed hidden tricks, in this complex and chaotic situation, he likely wouldn't dare to act rashly.

As for the humanoid ghost, it has also lived to the present day, but it is now a member of the Ghost Clan. Currently, there is no direct conflict of interest between us.

Besides, Xiang Sicheng was alert. When the Demonic Infant Monk just received the Iron Spiked Back Demon Cat cub, his joy made him lose focus on his surroundings. Furthermore, with Xiang Sicheng beside him, his alertness was naturally lower. Choosing this moment to ambush the Demonic Infant Monk had the highest chance of success.

As it turned out, Lu Xia tian's judgment was correct. By eliminating the life-threatening baby monk, the situation on the scene immediately became clear.

Seeing the soul of that vicious infant monk escape, Lu Xia Tian originally wanted to directly kill it, obliterating him completely. However, at this moment, Lu Xia Tian's brows furrowed again, abandoning the venomous infant monk's soul filled with hatred. With his hands outstretched, he tapped repeatedly, forming several soul-catching ash nets from strands of soul-capturing ash, blocking the escaping soul of the iron thorn-backed demon feline.

The Demonic Infant Monk had already been dismembered, leaving only his primordial spirit which posed no threat. Lu Xiaoteng naturally wouldn't let the primordial spirit essence of the Iron-Spiked Backed Demon Cat escape for this insignificant being.

After witnessing the power of the Tier 10 demon beast and Xiang Si City's ice-element spirit talisman, Lu Xia Tian felt an even stronger desire to possess a power that could transcend his current realm. Without a doubt, this Tier 10 Yao Ni's primordial spirit was his only hope at the moment.

Compared to the Primordial Spirit of the Iron-Spined Demonic Lion, the life and death of the Primordial Spirit of the Life Reaper Monk is naturally insignificant.

However, the soul strength of a tenth-order demonic beast was far inferior to that of a ninth-order demonic beast. It was not easy to capture. Lu Xia Tian controlled several soul-binding nets to intercept the demon lion's soul, but the effect was not very good. The blocked demon lion's soul broke out of the net time and time again, desperately trying to escape.

Lu Xia tian's casually brandishing of his capture demonic beast's soul, ignored the gazes of people like Xiang Si Cheng beside him.

Xiang Sicheng had originally thought he had the upper hand, but now a variable suddenly appeared. He had thought that Lu Xiaoteng was hit by the demon fox and even if he didn't die, he would at least be seriously injured and temporarily lose his combat power. Unexpectedly, the attack was true, but the serious injury was false. Judging from Lu Xiaoteng's actions just now, there was no sign of being injured at all. It was almost the same as his full strength period.

Unless he saw it with his own eyes, Xiang Sicheng wouldn't believe it. After all, everyone had seen Lu Xiaoteng's abdomen pierced by a sharp spike, something that couldn't be faked. Even if he fell from a great height, there was no trace of magic being used. Whether it was a real fall or a staged one, the people present could clearly tell the difference.

Several hundred feet high, falling directly to the ground. The ground was smashed into a large pit. If it had happened to himself, Xiang Sicheng wouldn't have felt he could survive. But this impossible situation was happening right before his eyes.

The same question also puzzled Du Fenghǔ and the humanoid ghost.

"Brother Lu, why would you attack your own people" Having just witnessed one of his capable aides slain by Lu Xiaotian, Xiang Sicheng cast a glance at the escaping soul essence of the deadly infant monk. But what came out of his mouth was a question directed at Lu Xiaotian instead.

“When this tenth-order demon was alive, everyone could barely be considered their own people. Now that the biggest threat is gone, it’s naturally no longer the case.”

Lu Xia Tian smiled faintly, his ethereal flying sword flickering in the air, blocking him. Although he was wary of Xiang Si Cheng, if the other party wanted to make a move, even if he was wary, he would fight back. After all, like that ice-type talisman before, which was already heaven-defying for a Golden Core late stage cultivator, Lu Xia Tian didn't believe the other party had a second one in their hand.

Even if he had it, in this perilous situation, Xiang Sicheng might not dare to use it. After all, he was only a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. Without such transcending power, even though the Beihe Mingzhen was extremely powerful, against someone like Lu Xiaitian or the humanoid ghost, who were top experts in the late Jindan stage, spending some effort would ultimately be enough to subdue them.

It's just that there are quite a few people who want to practice the art of binding. As long as the other party isn't too greedy, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't bother going through all this trouble, especially in the current situation.

"Well now, Brother Ye, or should I say Young Master Xiang Guo wants to make a move against me for that deadly infant monk Or are you waiting for your other two groups to arrive before making a statement" Lu Xia Tian surrounded the ten-tiered demon cat's primordial spirit while still speaking calmly.

Xiang Sicheng's face changed several times. The move Lu Xia tian had just displayed was no ordinary one. Controlling the flying sword while trying to capture the You Ni's primordial spirit, he could still talk to him calmly as if nothing was happening. Besides, being exposed wasn't a big deal.

But Lu Xia Tian knew that he still had manpower at his disposal, which was truly remarkable. Xiang Si Cheng felt a surge of resentment in his heart, how much did this fellow actually know

"I knew Lu Dao-you was powerful, but I didn't expect that Young Master Xiang Guo wasn't easy to deal with either. I have no interest in participating in your game, please go ahead."

After the humanoid spirit absorbed enough demon cat blood, it thought to itself that these two guys weren't simple. Although Xiang Siceng was wealthy, Lu Xiaoteng seemed like a lone wolf, yet he was unfathomable. Either of them could pose a threat to this ghost cultivator. Since its goal had been achieved, there was no need to stay with such potentially dangerous figures who could become enemies at any time. It was best to leave sooner rather than later.

The humanoid ghost shifted, and the white-boned falcon carried it away disappearing on the left side of the valley, never to be seen again.
