"Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard is here!"
Xu Xiaoyu's expression brightened. Zhang Yangzi, flying overhead, gestured to them. The Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard had reached the entrance to the valley below.
"Proceed according to plan!"
Xu Xiaoyu said to Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng.
Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng nodded and stepped forward. The moment the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard entered the valley, Wang Jinxi directly used Martial Soul Possession, his right hand transforming into a massive bone claw that struck the boulder prepared ahead of time.
"Rumble!"
Two enormous boulders rolled down from the mountaintop like roaring thunder, sweeping along loose rocks from the steep slopes as they thundered downward. Like a line of toppled dominoes, their momentum grew greater and greater until it became a landslide.
"Cough, cough!"
A cloud of dust billowed up at the valley entrance, and the people atop the mountain covered their noses.
Once the dust settled, the entire entrance to the valley had been blocked by rubble. This small valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides and was only a little over a hundred meters deep. With its entrance sealed, it had become an open-air living coffin.
"Roar!"
Only then did the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard realize it had fallen for the humans' trick.
The Unicorne Lizard swept its long tail across the boulders piled at the entrance. In an instant, shattered stones flew everywhere, and it actually cleared away a small section of the rubble.
It worked!
The Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard was delighted. It raised its tail, intending to repeat the move, when an ice-blue Ice Wheel suddenly descended from the sky.
"Buzz!"
The Ice Wheel, two to three meters wide, spun at high speed through the air, creating waves of buzzing as it violently rubbed against the atmosphere.
The Ice Wheel collided with the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard's tail, producing a piercing series of crunches. The icy blades around its edge repeatedly sliced across the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard's skin, yet left only pale marks.
"Roar!"
The Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard let out an enraged roar and flicked its tail again, shattering the Ice Wheel. Its fragments fell to the ground, releasing wisps of freezing mist.
"Hmph! That beast's hide really is thick!"
Xu Xiaoyu sneered as he watched the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard still struggling below. They had gone to great lengths to lure it here; how could they possibly let it escape?
"I'll use you to test my third soul skill!"
Xu Xiaoyu's face was cold and arrogant. He raised the blue staff in his hand, and three Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple—rose behind him. The purple Soul Ring stirred slightly.
Countless ice-element energies began gathering at the tip of Xu Xiaoyu's staff, gradually condensing into a snow-white icy spear in midair.
Wrath of Ice!
This was Xu Xiaoyu's third soul skill, a powerful thousand-year-level single-target attack soul skill. It was also the first time he had used it in actual combat since advancing to Soul Elder.
The Ice Spear was about two meters long, its shaft wrapped in strands of snow-colored demonic patterns. Its aura was terrifying. Just floating in the air, the extreme cold it radiated made the onlookers beside him shiver.
"Take my spear!"
Xu Xiaoyu's eyes turned cold. He pointed his Ice Staff at the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard below, and the Ice Spear instantly became a streak of light, shooting downward like lightning.
Seeing the incoming Ice Spear's fierce momentum, the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard's eyes showed a trace of gravity. It spat out a blast of flames to meet it.
But how could such a tiny fireball possibly stop an Ice Spear that had condensed more than half of Xu Xiaoyu's Soul Power as a Soul Elder?
"Whoosh!"
The Ice Spear overwhelmingly cleaved through the fireball. Under the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard's terrified gaze, it stabbed into its abdomen.
The Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard's rock-hard hide was like a paper fence before the frigid spear, forcefully pierced straight through.
"Boom!"
The Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard's massive body swayed a few times before finally crashing to the ground.
A huge wound more than a meter wide had appeared on the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard's abdomen, with a thin layer of frost forming around it.
Seeing that the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard was barely breathing, Xu Xiaoyu hurriedly led Xu Xiaoyan down into the valley.
The group made their way down the slope into the valley. Zhang Yangzi, who had been watching the show from the sky earlier, also flew down.
"Big Brother Xu is really amazing!"
Wang Jinxi chuckled and flattered him.
The arrogance on Xu Xiaoyu's face deepened. This kid really knew how to behave.
"Go on, little sister. Finish it off!"
Xu Xiaoyu looked at the Unicorne Lizard ahead and said. Yet after a long while, he still did not hear Xu Xiaoyan respond.
"Little sister?"
Xu Xiaoyu turned around in confusion, and his anger immediately flared.
Xu Xiaoyan had somehow been taken hostage by Zhang Yangzi and the other two. Her entire body was tightly bound by a green vine, and a wad of cotton had been stuffed into her mouth.
"Mmph, mmph!"
Xu Xiaoyan lay on the ground, unable to speak through the cotton. Her big, soft, adorable eyes were watery as she looked at Xu Xiaoyu.
The three of them were at least dozens of meters away from Xu Xiaoyu. He had no confidence he could save Xu Xiaoyan without hurting her.
Damn it! Their obedience along the way had actually made him lower his guard.
"What are you three doing? Didn't we agree that you'd help me lure the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard, and I'd help you hunt Soul Beasts? Let Xiaoyan go."
Xu Xiaoyu forced a smile onto his face.
Though dying in the Beginner Spirit Ascension Platform only meant being sent out, how could he bear to let his own little sister suffer such humiliation?
"Bullshit! Do you take us for idiots? Why should we believe you?"
Wang Jinxi directly cursed. Calling him Big Brother Xu all along had disgusted him to no end.
"Give us that Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard!"
Zhang Yangzi pointed at the Thousand-Year Unicorne Lizard not far away and stated their demand.
Xu Xiaoyu had wanted to use them, but weren't the three of them likewise trying to use Xu Xiaoyu as powerful free labor?
"Impossible!"
Xu Xiaoyu said furiously.
Since when had it become his turn, Xu Xiaoyu's, to work for others for free? This was a blatant slap in the face. As the young master of the Xu Family, he could not afford such disgrace.
"Come on, call out for your dear big brother to hear!"
Wang Jinxi bent down, pulled the cotton from Xu Xiaoyan's mouth, then planted a foot on her body without the slightest hint of tenderness.
"Brother... sob, sob!"
As Wang Jinxi pressed down harder with his foot, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes brimmed with tears that seemed ready to spill at any moment.
"You're courting death!"
A chill radiated from Xu Xiaoyu's entire body. His black eyes fixed on the three of them, and he wished he could immediately carve them apart piece by piece with ice blades.
"I'm sooo scared!"
Wang Jinxi shrank his head and said in a pretentious manner. His performance was as exaggerated as it could be.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Yangzi and the others clutched their stomachs and burst into laughter, their eyes filled with mockery as they looked at Xu Xiaoyu.
As the two sides faced off, Lin Xuan silently made his way to the upper left of the group.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
Having witnessed the entire sequence of events, Lin Xuan could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.
