Chapter 256: The Nirvana Ice Chief (1/2)

“The fifteenth Profound Silence Crystal!!”

Su Xing moved his hand and yet another two pieces of Profound Silence Crystal were discovered. This Quiet Path was a trip well worthwhile. Looking at his surroundings, he occasionally could see a few disciples fly by on riding swords, but not a single one was like Su Xing staying in the Quiet Path to search for things. It was not that they did not think of this, but rather that Su Xing really was too abnormal.

Keeping upon him the two types of extreme cold defenses, the Arctic Star Pendant and the Fire Spirit Magic Sarira, how could the other disciples have such power. Even the disciples that came from Water Moon Peak could just barely get by. Wishing to quickly pass through this Quiet Path, why would they tarry. This actually gave Su Xing a very big opportunity.

“Young Lord, will this not delay the matter with Little Sister Lianxin?”

Wu Xinjie somewhat anxiously said.

Su Xing already had a plan, “It’s fine, I already told Little Sister Lianxin. Even if I’m not the first to cross, she won’t contract.”

“Ah?”

“Anyways, by the time I get out, whoever wants to contract Little Sister Lianxin will have to then cross the checkpoint that is me. Come to think of it, the Headmaster wouldn’t decline those who are capable.” Su Xing chuckled.

Wu Xinjie sweated.

So shameless.

A wolf’s howl rose. The Su Xing currently using his Divine Intent to search was delighted. The Quiet Path had many Demon Beasts, and among them, the Ice Chief Beasts were the most commonly seen type in the Quiet Path. Su Xing had encountered several. The places with Ice Chief Beasts often had Profound Silence Crystals.

Following the sound, Su Xing immediately flew over.

Instantly, he saw the origins of the sound. He saw more than a dozen wolf-like Demon Beasts, their fur white and their mouths releasing icy breath, surround a girl and howl with angry looks. This beast was known as “Ice Chief,”1 a Demon Beast commonly seen under extreme cold. Generally in a pack, there was a leader, and they were very difficult to deal with.

The girl wearing a red robe was currently brandishing a burning fire dragon whip. In the world of the Quiet Path, the whip’s cracks were ear-piercing, unceasingly burning. Among the largeice wolves was one very eye-catching, larger than ordinary Ice Chief Beasts by a size. This was the Ice Chief Beast’s leader – Nirvana Ice Chief.2

The Nirvana Ice Chief currently was continuously intertwined with the girl, spraying freezing ice, its sharp claws tearing at her. The other Ice Chief Beasts circled at the side for an opening, not giving the girl the chance to escape. Every time the girl wanted to raise her riding sword to fly away, the Nirvana Ice Chief would suddenly fire a bolt of frigid ice, making her incapable of running anywhere. If it was not for her relying on that exceptional fire dragon whip magic weapon, the girl basically would be incapable of enduring. Since this was so, continuously waving it made her energy deplete.

“She is that crafty and unruly woman.” Wu Xinjie said.

The one that had been trapped was Ruan Hongxue.

It was obvious she already was incapable, yet her not using the Escape Technique Talisman truly was odd.

Ruan Hongxue’s small face was pale. The Fire Dragon Whip and a dozen flying swords were nearby, but the burning had been incredibly sapped by the Quiet Path’s environment. It completely lacked destructive power. In this sort of extremely cold environment, how could Ruan Hongxue be their opponent. When Su Xing saw this, he activated his Sword Chant.

“Does Young Lord want to go save her?”

“En.” Although this girl was very unruly, Su Xing was not that sort of person to watch with contempt. In Su Xing’s perspective, Ruan Hongxue was just a still wet behind the ears minor, not worth lowering himself to argue with. If merely this was enough to make him feel the other party should die, that was a little vile.

Roar!!

The Nirvana Ice Chief roared, spraying a cold wind.

The snow wolves swished into a head-on attack. Ruan Hongxue cried out in panic, hastily controlling her flying swords to go block. The Fire Dragon Whip in her hand raged, thrashing. In the end, she had insufficient experience. The Nirvana Ice Chief only sprayed the wind to make her exhaust her strength. The Nirvana Ice Chief swayed, and then it spouted several cold lights, striking Ruan Hongxue with no strength to resist. The other Ice Chief Beasts also began to exert their strength.

Ruan Hongxue’s flying swords very quickly lost their spiritual powers and were broken one by one.

The Fire Dragon Whip gnashed.

The Nirvana Ice Chief dodged to the side. Consecutively fighting in the Quiet Path had made Ruan Hongxue already completely spent. Showing a gap, the Nirvana Ice Chief seized onto the chance, spurting forth a cold light.

Ruan Hongxue’s whole body turned cold, as if her entire body had been frozen. The other Ice Chief Beasts immediately pounced when they saw, about to rip Ruan Hongxue to shreds. The girl lost hope when she saw this.

The shadow of a sword abruptly approached from the east, rushing before the Ice Chief Beasts and shooting in front of her. The sword’s power divided, becoming countless sword images that densely packed the surroundings. Those Ice Chief Beasts could not approach her, continuously attacking the swords.

Su Xing wiped his cold sweat. On the whole, he had rushed as fast as he could, and he had not expected the Magic Sealing Sword could be used like this. However, confronting these Ice Chief Beasts was still doable. Confronting the other cultivators, it would be very easy to erase the Divine Sense of the Magic Sealing Sword, to steal it from him.

“Roar.”

The Nirvana Ice Chief once again spat out freezing ice, and the other Ice Chief Beasts discovered Su Xing also was aiming an attack at them.

Su Xing’s ten fingers flicked. Several purple lotus flowers shot out.

The Ice Chief Beasts immediately yelped and were blown flying upon contact. It was a pity that the golden flying swords could not be used and were still being nurtured. Otherwise, handling these Ice Chief Beasts actually would be easy. However, relying on Purple Mansion Immortal Thunder was also enough to spare.

The blade-like winds whooshed, slamming into the Purple Mansion Immortal Thunder, then becoming formless without the least bit of sound. Su Xing’s gaze shifted, and the Nirvana Ice Chief spat out cold light and wind, a soundless cold intent pressing in from all sides. The surrounding air seemingly turned even colder. Flying swords no longer listened to order, falling down.

There was a violent air-breaking noise.

The Nirvana Ice Chief already darted and pounced over, the fur on its whole body raised, terrifyingly pale.

Su Xing curled his lips. He lazily flipped his hand, revealing the Intertwined Branch Sword, forging onwards like this.

Its body flipped in midair, and the Nirvana Ice Chief’s claw already scratched at Su Xing’s cranium. The bone-penetrating chill rapidly spread through his limbs and throughout his whole body.
