Chapter 1001: Supreme Cold Might
Just now, Mu Xuanyin’s anger had already made everyone lose color, but the sudden burst of killing intent shocked them to the extreme. /p
/p
Because this was the killing intent of the Yinxue Realm King! /p
/p
“Wait! Let Yan say one word!” Yan Wancang stepped forward heavily and shouted urgently. He now deeply regretted bringing Huo Rulie along. The three of them had come in person, only bringing three young people, to show that they had no hostility or threat, and had come solely for the matter of the Qiu Dragon. And under such a weak force, still within the Ice Phoenix Realm, Huo Rulie had actually torn face with Mu Xuanyin on the spot, spouting ruthless words of irreconcilable enmity. /p
/p
They couldn’t imagine a worse situation… Was Huo Rulie’s brain full of shit? /p
/p
Not only Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai, but Mu Xuanyin’s killing intent also startled the many elders on both sides. Mu Huanzhi urgently said: “Sect Master! First listen to Sect Master Yan…” /p
/p
But Mu Xuanyin’s figure had already shot out like a storm. /p
/p
“Fall back!!” /p
/p
Yan Wancang roared loudly, flames bursting from his body, and a huge blast of air sent Yan Zhuo, Yan Mingxuan, and Huo Poyun flying far away. /p
/p
“Formation!!” /p
/p
The seventy-two elders soared up in the same instant, a massive ice crystal barrier instantly forming. /p
/p
With Mu Xuanyin’s move, the scene completely spiraled out of control. Only Yun Che stood there motionless, his face not particularly terrified, but rather thoughtful. /p
/p
Because he could see clearly enough that it was not Huo Rulie but Mu Xuanyin who had caused the situation to spiral out of control. /p
/p
Yan Wancang’s sincerity was sufficient, and he had even offered generous gifts, always remaining calm. What he got in return was Mu Xuanyin’s cold rejection. The thousand-year-old grudge was also brought up by her, instantly igniting the hatred that Huo Rulie had been barely suppressing. And that wasn’t enough—she openly exposed his impotence in front of so many people… /p
/p
Such a thing being made public would be unbearable for any man, let alone the dignified Golden Crow Sect Master. /p
/p
Coupled with bearing the Golden Crow Flame, his temperament was already like a volcano… If Huo Rulie hadn’t erupted in fury, it would have been a miracle. /p
/p
Mu Xuanyin should know Huo Rulie’s temperament well enough; she wouldn’t be unaware that this would surely drive him to a mad frenzy. /p
/p
The only explanation was that she did it deliberately. /p
/p
But tearing face, aside from momentary satisfaction, was absolutely of no benefit to either the Yin Xue Realm or the Yan Shen Realm. And up to now, Mu Xuanyin had only given him the feeling of being unfathomable—not just in profound energy. Even the Ice Phoenix herself had said she possessed extremely high wisdom. /p
/p
Why did she deliberately provoke Huo Rulie? Was it to create a reason to kill him? /p
/p
No!! /p
/p
If she truly wanted to kill Huo Rulie, she would have done so long ago. During the past millennium, while Mu Bingyun suffered from severe poison, she hadn’t killed Huo Rulie. Now that Mu Bingyun was fully recovered, she should have even less reason to kill him. /p
/p
She had just said that she once swore that if Mu Bingyun fell, when she abdicated as Realm King, that would be the day the Golden Crow Sect was annihilated… Over the past thousand years, Mu Xuanyin had indeed sworn to kill Huo Rulie, but only after stepping down as Realm King. Clearly, while she was Realm King, she had to consider the Yin Xue Realm, because if the Yin Xue Realm and the Yan Shen Realm were completely torn apart, she could face it fearlessly, but the Yin Xue Realm would surely suffer a crushing defeat. /p
/p
So now, what was she trying to… /p
/p
These thoughts flashed through Yun Che’s mind in an instant, while Mu Xuanyin had already closed in on Huo Rulie. /p
/p
“Do you think I’ll fear you?!” /p
/p
Huo Rulie burned all over and roared in fury. With a golden crow’s angry cry, crimson flames surged like an overturned ocean, meeting Mu Xuanyin head-on. /p
/p
Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai had no choice but to steel themselves and act, standing on Huo Rulie’s left and right. Vermilion Bird Flame and Phoenix Flame erupted simultaneously. The three ancient divine flames dyed the pale sky a blazing red, converging to blast Mu Xuanyin. /p
/p
The three disciples of the Yan Shen Realm, who had been blasted away by Yan Wancang, knelt on the ground, staring wide-eyed from afar… For the first time in their lives, they saw the three sect masters joining forces to fight one person—and that person was a woman. /p
/p
Yun Che’s gaze, however, was locked firmly on Yan Wancang… /p
/p
Golden Crow Flame was violent and hard to control, possessing the most intense flame aura and incineration power. Although Phoenix Flame was relatively gentle, it still carried the might to burn all. But Yan Wancang’s flame gave Yun Che a feeling that was more gentle, even warm. /p
/p
Was this the supreme fire among the three—Vermilion Bird Flame, known as the “Sacred Flame,” feared by all demons? /p
/p
The three divine flames of the three Flame God Sect masters were undoubtedly the ultimate power of the Yan Shen Realm. The terrifying flame might made Yun Che completely suffocate. Facing these three divine flames head-on, Mu Xuanyin merely lightly extended her hand… and it was only her left hand. /p
/p
Time suddenly seemed to slow down. Even the disciple with the lowest cultivation in the Ice Phoenix God Sect could clearly see Mu Xuanyin’s snow-white hand reaching out. That hand, whiter than first snow, slowly opened and gently pushed forward. A thin, almost invisible ice-blue light met the three divine flames bearing the might to incinerate the world. /p
/p
It was like a blue firefly charging into an erupting volcano. /p
/p
Ding! /p
/p
The faint blue light touched the sky-covering divine flames. In the instant everyone’s hearts tightened, there was no sound of profound energy explosion. Instead, at that moment, the scene suddenly froze. The blue light stopped its flutter, and the three divine flames all ceased their rolling—as if time itself had stopped. /p
/p
The only thing proving that time was still flowing was the violently trembling pupils of the three Flame God Sect masters. /p
/p
This unbelievable freeze lasted a mere three breaths. Then, with a soft sound, the blue light suddenly burst and rapidly spread. The pale red Vermilion Bird Flame, the deep red Phoenix Flame, and the golden-red Golden Crow Flame all quickly turned a deep blue before their eyes. /p
/p
“Wh… what!?” Yun Che’s heart shook violently. /p
/p
Flames—from the joint divine flames of the three Yan Shen Sect masters—had actually been turned into ice!! /p
/p
Mu Xuanyin’s face was cold and still, devoid of expression. Meanwhile, Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai were both grimacing with pain. Even Huo Rulie, amidst his fury, clearly carried some fear. /p
/p
Bang!! /p
/p
The ice shattered, and the space instantly turned into countless flying fragments. Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai were sent flying. Yan Wancang dug his feet into the ground, sliding backwards a hundred zhang before his back slammed heavily into the ice barrier jointly built by the Ice Phoenix elders. Yan Juehai was thrown to the other side of the barrier. He fell to his knees but failed to stand for a long time, a thin layer of ice covering his hands… /p
/p
And that layer of ice, seemingly exceptionally thin, he could only melt slowly after desperately surging the Phoenix Flame several times. /p
/p
But Huo Rulie was far less fortunate than the two. Amidst the ice explosion, a blue light pierced through space, unstoppably disintegrating Huo Rulie’s protective profound energy, silently striking his chest, and silently bursting out from his back. /p
/p
“Ugh!” /p
/p
Huo Rulie let out a pained groan, his body rolling away with a long trail of blood, crashing a hundred zhang away. /p
/p
Before the blood trail even hit the ground, it had frozen into blood ice. /p
/p
Whoosh!! /p
/p
The wind howled, and a disastrous blizzard fell ruthlessly. Mu Xuanyin floated high in the air, bathing in the center of the blizzard, looking down coldly at Huo Rulie, who writhed in pain amidst the bitter cold. /p
/p
The sacred hall square was deathly silent. The three disciples brought by the three sect masters were all stupefied, unable to believe what they had seen. Although they had heard long ago that the Yinxue Realm King was immensely powerful, they never imagined—and could not accept—that their three sect masters, whom they revered as gods and who were invincible in the Yan Shen Realm, would be utterly defeated at the hands of the Yinxue Realm King alone—and so quickly, so thoroughly. /p
/p
In just a few breaths, two were knocked back, and Huo Rulie was directly wounded. /p
/p
They finally understood why the Yan Shen Realm, though more than ten times stronger than the Yin Xue Realm, had chosen to swallow their pride after Mu Xuanyin destroyed all the star realms under their control. /p
/p
Yun Che’s mouth was wide open, and it took a good while to close it, but his chest was full of cold air. /p
/p
Although on his first day in the Yin Xue Realm, Mu Bingyun had casually mentioned that even if the three sect masters of the Yan Shen Realm joined forces, they would not be a match for the Yinxue Realm King, he had never imagined the gap would be so great… The three sect masters were each fully equivalent to the realm kings of three mid-level star realms, yet under Mu Xuanyin’s hands, they could barely be described as helpless. /p
/p
It was definitely not that they were too weak, but that Mu Xuanyin was truly too terrifying. /p
/p
Her strength might truly be comparable to Mo Li in her complete state… Yun Che thought silently in shock. /p
/p
“Master!” Huo Poyun rushed frantically to Huo Rulie’s side. Seeing that although Huo Rulie’s face was pale and his body cold, he was not critically injured, he felt slightly relieved, but the tremors in his heart were unending. /p
/p
If not for seeing it with his own eyes, no one in the Yan Shen Realm would have believed that the Great Realm King of the Yin Xue Realm was so terrifying. Compared to them, the three sect masters of the Yan Shen Realm seemed like beings on an entirely different level. /p
/p
“Realm King of the Yin Xue Realm! Please show mercy!” Yan Wancang shouted with all his might: “We came here with absolutely no hostility.” /p
/p
“Calm down, Sect Master!” Mu Bingyun had already rushed forward, standing beside Mu Xuanyin and slowly shaking her head. /p
/p
“Killing Huo Rulie benefits neither of our realms… Please think carefully, Realm King of the Yin Xue Realm.” Yan Juehai stood up, his frostbitten hands still trembling slightly: “We came only for the Qiu Dragon, with no intention of provocation.” /p
/p
But Mu Xuanyin paid no attention to either of them. She did not continue her attack, but stared coldly at Huo Rulie and mocked mercilessly: “Huo Rulie, I thought you had grown some real ability over the years, daring to bark before me. Turns out you’re nothing but a barking dog.” /p
/p
“Mu Xuanyin!!” Huo Rulie propped himself up with his hands, his blood-red eyes nearly bursting. As soon as he spoke, Yan Wancang roared: “Huo Rulie, shut up!” /p
/p
Yan Juehai gritted his teeth and transmitted to him: “Huo Rulie, if you want to die, don’t drag us along! Provoked by a few words, have you been living your years like a dog? You just accepted a personal disciple not two years ago, said you’d treat him like your own son, and now you want to get him killed here?” /p
/p
Yan Juehai now wished he could go up and slap Huo Rulie three times, then slap himself ten times… Knowing that Huo Rulie had not let go of this in a thousand years, and had even gone mad once after learning Mu Bingyun had recovered, he still brought him along this time… /p
/p
It was like his brain was full of dog shit! /p
/p
Yan Juehai’s voice transmission was like a bucket of cold water poured over Huo Rulie’s head. His teeth ground audibly—but looking at Huo Poyun beside him, he finally swallowed the curses about to burst from his mouth along with the blood. /p
/p
“Fine… fine…” Huo Rulie said in a trembling voice: “Mu Xuanyin, today I, Huo Rulie, admit defeat—I’m beaten. Yes, in front of you, I’m nothing but a waste! I can’t beat you, I couldn’t save my son, I can’t even avenge him!!” /p
/p
“But one thing, you, Mu Xuanyin, will never surpass me!” Huo Rulie’s voice suddenly rose, and he roared hoarsely: “In your Yin Xue Realm, aside from you, Mu Xuanyin, what aspect can compare to my Yan Shen Realm? In this pitiful Yin Xue Realm, you can’t even find a worthy successor! I am indeed far inferior to you… but that’s just me alone! After I die, after you die, your successors, and the successors of your successors, will forever kneel at the feet of my successors—for a thousand generations, it will be so! Hahahahaha!” /p
