The instantly frozen icy rain was like distinct crystal threads, slender yet tenaciously weaving the boundless heaven and earth together.
The light from the sky passed through the clear ice lines, becoming bright and dazzling, and fell into the little fire dragon's golden eyes, like a dazzling stream of light passing by. This scene was cruel but beautiful, and it could not take its eyes away.
It stared at the scene and almost forgot to flap its wings, causing it to fall. Fortunately, Wen Yun grabbed it and held it back in his arms, thus avoiding tragedy.
"Can we still play like this?"
The little fire dragon moved in Wen Yun's arms to make himself more comfortable, his tail wagging, as excited as his mood: "Isn't this..."
It was halfway through saying it when it ran out of words.
So Wen Yun took over the conversation at the right time and continued: "Combination magic."
Casting two or even multiple different kinds of magic at the same time, the combination of the two can often achieve the expected miraculous effect. For example, the low-level magic "Rain is Coming" used by Ye Shubai just now, when combined with Wen Yun's "Thousands of Miles of Ice", can not only catch the enemy off guard, but also double the lethality, which is wonderful.
It’s just that Wen Yun was a lone ranger before, so there was no one to work with her. Now that she has Ye Shubai, a talented little apprentice, she is quite satisfied.
The little Charmander was still in shock, muttering why he had never thought of this kind of play. The owner patted the pig's head and said with a smile: "Read more and sleep less, you can do it too."
"Oh... forget it then."
Fortunately, after she finished speaking, she flew down to check on the demon cultivator who was frozen into an ice sculpture below. Otherwise, if she had heard the useless dragon's unmotivated answer, she might have roasted it and eaten it tonight.
The two magic boats below were frozen into ice. The sudden drop in extreme temperature had almost killed all the demon cultivators inside. With the blessing of the new dragon bone staff, even their blood might have turned into ice.
Wen Yun landed lightly on the deck of one of the magic ships, which was densely packed with magic cultivators who had been frozen into ice sculptures. She glanced over them, searching for the person she was looking for.
Mo You, or should I call him Xie Mi'an.
The other party is extremely cunning, so Wen Yun feels that he should still treat him with caution.
It was a pity that there was no trace of that man on this magic boat, so Wen Yun had to give up and turned around to walk towards another magic boat.
However, at this moment, a very slight cracking sound was heard in his ears, but Wen Yun's movements remained calm and indifferent, as if he had not heard it.
“Shh—”
Suddenly, a block of ice exploded in the crowd, and a tall figure in heavy armor suddenly jumped up. With a loud shout, the man raised a □□ high in the air, and his body as big as a mountain flew towards Wen Yun's back!
Wen Yun didn't look back.
The one who was faster than the demon cultivator was the white shadow behind Wen Yun. He bent his knees and leaped into the air. The wooden sword in his hand deftly dodged the attack of the demon cultivator and the tip of the sword pierced the demon cultivator's brow with precision as if it had eyes.
The Lord of Hanyuan City's heart jumped and he tried to dodge to the side, but the sword energy still left a bloody mark on his face that was deep enough to expose the bone.
He had fought with Ye Shubai and Wen Yun half a year ago. At that time, he was defeated in a two-on-one match. Naturally, he knew that these two were not ordinary people.
But how come the strength of these two people is so much higher than when they were in the demon world! It was fine to lose in a two-on-one match before, but now they can't even beat him in a one-on-one match
He didn't dare to think too much, and raised the sword in his hand to block the wooden sword that kept stabbing at him. However, Ye Shubai's body was as light and agile as the wind, and he changed his sword moves in an instant, changing from stabbing to chopping.
The Lord of Hanyuan City had not yet reacted, his eyes widened in horror, and he saw his body still covered with a layer of ice falling down.
At that moment, his mind was confused, and only a strange doubt arose in his mind.
Why does my body... have no head
All this happened in just a few breaths. Wen Yun slowly turned his head and glanced at the torn body of the Lord of Hanyuan City on the ground. He generously praised, "Very good."
The sword spirit did a great job protecting its master, so she didn't even need to take any action.
As if she had the same idea as him, the little fire dragon that had transformed into its original form squeezed awkwardly on the deck and asked Ye Shubai stutteringly, "That's it?"
Ye Shubai didn't say anything, just nodded, frowned, pulled out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood stains on the wooden sword in his hand.
The little fire dragon swung its tail quickly and asked anxiously, "It only took one move to kill him? This guy was frozen for thousands of miles and was able to jump out by himself. Isn't that amazing?"
"It's okay, it's just an ordinary tribulation." Ye Shubai replied calmly, paused, and corrected the little fire dragon's statement: "It's two moves."
He could indeed kill an ordinary tribulation with one sword before, but now the jade infant is not complete and there is still a fragment in Wen Yun's body, so he will have to use two or three moves.
Charmander: "... Is there any difference?"
It was just planning to transform into its original form to bravely and domineeringly protect its master and regain the lofty status of the staff spirit, but it ended too quickly and it didn't even get a chance to show off.
He glanced at Ye Shubai sideways, thinking that the faces of some spirits who were eager to show off were really ugly.
As the thousand-mile ice fell, the demon cultivators with insufficient cultivation died instantly. Those with higher cultivation thought that with the help of the Lord of Hanyuan City, it would be easy to capture and kill the two sword cultivators. However, they saw the corpses of the city lord in the blink of an eye.
Everyone knew that if they didn't take action, everyone would die here.
So when Wen Yun and the others were chatting casually, the ice behind them suddenly exploded in several places, and several auras of cultivation at the God Transformation Stage or Nascent Soul Stage came towards them.
This time, the little fire dragon finally found an opportunity, and it used all its strength to show off. Before those people could completely break free from the ice, it turned around and sprayed a blazing dragon flame at them.
Under this sudden change of coldness, several demon cultivators screamed in agony, and Ye Shubai also raised his sword to prepare for the finishing blow.
Wen Yun reminded: "Leave two alive."
Mo You is now seriously injured. She wants to find out why the demon cultivators would attack the four continents under such circumstances. This behavior is like sending the entire clan to death. However, seeing how ordinary yet confident these demon cultivators look, she begins to vaguely worry whether they have something to rely on.
The result of the inquiry was indeed not very optimistic.
“Daojie hasn’t left yet, and from what these demon cultivators said, he actually wants to capture all the geniuses in the four continents… Haha, the Dongxuan Realm has imprisoned our entire cultivation world, and Daojie, the leak detector, also wants to learn to imprison us geniuses. He really thinks he is an immortal.”
Wen Yun's voice was clear and chilly, without any fear towards these powerful Ascension Realm masters.
She gently jumped off the magic boat, touched the ice condensed from the outer sea with her dragon bone staff, and called the two spirits behind her: "Xiaobai, Xiaohong, let's go."
The little fire dragon turned into a pig and flew into her arms and lay down. Ye Shubai followed on his sword.
Behind them, the ice layer that she had just touched with her staff began to spread spider-web-like cracks from that point, and then deepened little by little, revealing the dark sea water.
Silently, two huge magic boats that had frozen into ice slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, carrying with them the dreaming magic cultivators on the boat, and completely disappeared from this world.
"The Eastern Xuan Realm is now tracking down the location of Master Su Yuan. It's difficult for him to take action, so we have to come."
Wen Yun landed lightly above Zhongjie Island and looked around.
If she and Ye Shubai were to face the Dao Tribulation of the Ascension Realm now, they would probably not be its match. Moreover, the two of them could use the random teleportation array to escape, but the others could not, and the countless people from the four continents behind them could not escape either.
This battle is inevitable.
The only thing to be thankful for is that not a single demon cultivator escaped alive. It will probably take some time for Daojie and Mo You to understand the situation at the border and respond. These days are enough for Wen Yun to make some arrangements.
She held many magic stones and spiritual jades in her hands, weighed them, and instructed the little fire dragon to hold the stones and throw them into the corresponding positions.
The post-war debris on Zhongjie Island has been cleaned up, and now the three families have sent people to guard the island. Jiang Si and Qian Lishen are the leaders of a sect after all, and they secretly said that they should stay in the city, but when they saw Wen Yun coming out to set up the formation, they immediately followed him out.
Qian Lishen watched from the side for a whole day but still couldn't figure out what kind of formation Wen Yun was setting up. He was too embarrassed to ask for the sake of face, for fear of appearing ignorant on Chuixue Island.
As luck would have it, there happened to be two disciples from Chuixue Island guarding the area, and they asked him, "Island Master, what kind of formation is Fairy Wen setting up? How come we have never seen it before?"
Qian Lishen stared at the disciple silently, and said in a deep voice: "It is a virtue to ask questions without feeling ashamed. Just go and ask yourself."
They actually went to ask, and Wen Yun did not keep the information to himself. He generously told them how to set up the formation. The two disciples nodded repeatedly with shining eyes, holding the stones given by Wen Yun and ran to the other side of the island to learn how to set up the formation.
She turned around and said to Qian Lishen, who looked confused, with a smile, "If you are interested, would you be willing to help us set up the formation?"
Qian Lishen showed disdain on his face, and said calmly: "It is my job to set up the formation to protect Zhongjie Island. It would be unreasonable for me not to do anything."
Although he said it reluctantly, his steps were honest. He quickly ran to Wen Yun and put his hands behind his back: "Tell me, how can I help you?"
Wen Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "I have always thought that Fellow Daoist Qian's Spirit Absorbing Array is very interesting. I have also tried to set it up, but there are still some subtle details that I don't understand."
Hearing the girl mention his strengths, Qian Lishen almost couldn't help laughing, but he managed to hold it back and said nonchalantly, "Oh, that, it just so happens that I have made some new improvements, so I'll show them to you."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and took out the array plate, quickly adjusted the position on it, and then took out the spirit jade and threw it into the sea, setting up a tiny spirit-absorbing array.
"The original Soul Absorbing Formation was used to prevent enemies from entering, but now after the improvement, it is used to trap the enemy and lure them into the formation..." Qian Lishen said as he took out some snack crumbs from a mustard seed bag and threw them into the formation. Soon a small fish swam into the area.
He stared at the formation and spoke in a lower voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing the fish.
"Then activate the formation..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Si, who had come over from nowhere, laughed and greeted him enthusiastically: "I was wondering what you two were doing, it turns out you were catching fish! Looks like we can add a dish tonight, how about sweet and sour fish?"
When he arrived, the fish were scared away before Qian Lishen could activate the formation.
Qian Lishen glared at him fiercely, and said with great effort to suppress his anger: “We are not in the same mood as Patriarch Jiang. Now that the demon cultivator has committed another offense, Fellow Daoist Wen and I are setting up a defensive formation and doing business!”
Such a hostile tone did not make Jiang Si angry. Instead, this open-minded sword cultivator smiled and patted Qian Lishen on the shoulder, as if they were good brothers: "Haha, just do your work. If the fish runs away, we can catch two more. Don't panic."
A punch hit the cotton, and Qian Lishen had no choice but to take the snacks angrily and lure the fish in again.
But this time it was a school of fish.
Jiang Si did not cause any more trouble this time, and Qian Lishen also arranged the new Soul Absorbing Array accordingly. He glanced at Wen Yun and said with a slightly lewd look, "After entering the Soul Absorbing Array, it becomes a prison. The more desperately the trapped person struggles to break free, the more his spiritual power used to break the array will be absorbed by the array, trapping him even more tightly! This is the wonderful thing about the new Soul Absorbing Array!"
Wen Yun keenly sensed a faint glow of spiritual power lighting up on the sea. Just as Qian Lishen said, the group of fish inside began to swim out after eating snacks, but the Soul Absorbing Array trapped them inside. The big fish at the head seemed to realize that something was wrong and began to struggle wildly, but the more it struggled, the stronger the power of the array became.
There's no way to escape.
After Qian Lishen dispersed the formation, the trapped fish began to swam away. Jiang Si sighed that it was a pity. It seemed that he would not be able to eat sweet and sour fish tonight.
Wen Yun had fallen into deep thought.
The Spirit-Absorbing Array, as the name suggests, absorbs spiritual power and traps ordinary cultivators who use spiritual power.
But if we change the Soul Draining Array into the Source Draining Array, and make it absorb the source power of heaven and earth, can we trap the upper realm ascenders who use the source power of heaven and earth
To put it bluntly, the ascenders are also human beings, so why can't they be captured? Why can only the upper world keep the lower world in a pen like pigs and capture them? Why can't she do the opposite and capture the upper world people
Wen Yun pursed her lips, and her heart suddenly started beating fast, but it was not because of nervousness, but excitement.
After Qian Lishen explained the structure of the formation to Wen Yun in detail, she also tried to set up two of them with spirit jade, and they were successful without exception.
Qian Lishen had seen her prowess in the art of formations before, and felt a little sad, but he still bowed and congratulated her: "Congratulations, you have mastered this formation. So, are you planning to use it to imprison the demon cultivators?"
Wen Yun called back the little fire dragon, took out the unused magic stone from its mouth, and said calmly: "I plan to set up a giant spirit-absorbing formation along the Middle Boundary Island."
Jiang Si, who was shirtless and catching fish in the sea, popped his head out of the water and asked excitedly, "Are you planning to lure all the demon cultivators to the island and catch them in a trap?"
As he spoke, he took his hand out from under the water, holding a big turtle!
Wen Yun glanced around quietly, thinking that Ye Shubai was currently setting up a formation at the other end of the Zhongjie Island, so it would be okay for him to take a look at the shirtless swordsman, right
Oh, that's not right.
After feeling guilty, Wen Yun became confident again, thinking that beautiful things should be appreciated with openness, so why did he have to hide from Ye Shubai to see them
So she held her breath for two seconds, and when she found that Ye Shubai really didn't show up this time, she looked at Jiang Si and his superior chest muscles, abdominal muscles and biceps, and said with a satisfied smile: "You are right, I am planning to catch the turtle in the jar."
Jiang Si laughed loudly: "Okay, then let's catch those old bastards together."
However, Wen Yun shook his head and said seriously: "No, you have to take the others away from Zhongjie Island, don't leave anyone behind."
"Why?"
"Because you just said the wrong word. This time I don't want to catch the demon cultivator, but..."
Wen Yun paused, thought for a moment, and explained in the way they understood best: "It's an immortal."
“Bang!”
Jiang Si's hand trembled, and the turtle fell into the water with a plop. Before swimming away, it bit his foot hard, but he was completely unaware and just stared at Wen Yun in a daze.
Qian Lishen was no exception. His formation plate fell into the sea with a splash. Fortunately, Jiang Si came back to his senses, dived down, fished it out for him and threw it back into his hands.
"What did you say?"
"Can you say that again?"
The two questioned in unison, and Wen Yun had no choice but to point to the sky and repeat himself -
"I plan to catch the immortal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wave suddenly rose up and swept Jiang Si, who was originally soaking in the sea water, onto the shore.
There seemed to be a tsunami coming from the other side of the distant open sea. A vague pressure gradually rose, making the two Jindan stage cultivators uneasy. They looked at each other in astonishment and saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Wen Yun had a calm expression. He held the dragon bone staff in his hand and raised it over the two of them. After the source power of heaven and earth fell on them, their faces looked better.
The girl in green stood proudly on the sea, the sea breeze blowing her hair and skirt wildly, as if she was ready to ride on the wind and fly away at any time, never looking back.
Her voice was clear and cold, without any trace of the panic that comes with facing a life-and-death catastrophe.
She said: "You guys hurry up and leave, I'm going to kill the immortal."
