145 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (2/2)

Roar!

Chen Wentian's aura rose to match and his Blue Dragon's cry of fury echoed across the castle.

The flame barrier held firm, but the air beneath was now swelteringly hot and filled with a torrid fog. The women couldn't help but instantly start sweating, it was their body's natural reaction to try and survive. As the two immortals above continued to be deadlocked, perspiration poured form their skin and left their white robes completely soaked.

Everyone looked on at Murong Aiyin and Chen Wentian, waiting for something to happen. It couldn't go on like this, could it?

Something finally broke… but it came from the least expected source.

”Ahhhhhh!”

Boom!

A corner of the courtyard exploded with red flames; it was Fen Jue! He had been imprisoned by the hellish ice but it didn't mean he was dead. With Chen Wentian's flame barrier, it was just enough for Fen Jue to finally melt the ice around him.

Fen Jue jumped up and quickly took in the situation around him. He saw the two group of Glacier Palace women, the frozen piles of his disciples, and the two immortals above. Fen Jue's raging flames first targeted his men, melting the ice around them and finally freeing them. They were disoriented but they soon heard their sect master's cry.

”Divine Blazing Mountain! Fight! Any woman you beat is yours. Forward!” Fen Jue shouted.

”Rahhh!”

”Charge!”

”Wake up men, attack!”

The elders were the first to leap into action, led by Fen Rong. Led by their fiery aura, the other Divine Blazing Mountain disciples charged forward.

The men were greater in number to begin with and they surged forward like a red tide, quickly covering the entire courtyard. The Glacier Palace elders were the closest and they were soon surrounded on all sides. They fought back ferociously and it was soon a chaotic melee filled with ice and flames.

”Long Yifei! Where is Long Yifei!” Fen Ziping had also awakened and he screamed desperately.

”Look!”

Many eyes turned and saw that Long Yifei and the rest of the Glacier Palace disciples had shrewdly retreated to a small corner of the courtyard. They formed a battle line anchored against the wall of the keep and the main castle. It was a powerful defensive position and random Divine Blazing Mountain disciples that dared to approach were beaten into submission.

Fen Ziping wanted to charge over but was pulled back by Fen Wei who screamed in his ear, ”Handle these hags first, Long Yifei can't escape!” He turned to the men around him, ”Disciples! Kill these bitches, go!”

Fen Jue saw the situation was turning in his favor and he looked up at the two immortals who had finally stopped standoff and were now at staring at each other in silence. He rose into the air until he was level with them, glaring at Murong Aiyin with flames spitting out of his eyes.

”Ahahaha, senile old bitch. You'll pay for that…” Fen Jue's aura spiked until exploded into a massive deep red inferno and he launched towards her, ”Give me your life!”
