Ice Thorn Swordfish

When Ye Lei saw the shadow above him, he looked up, his brows knitting tightly. He quickly pulled Tang Yunqing aside.

As if it had noticed them, the shadow twisted its body, and several solid ice-blue sword qi ignored the bulletproof glass entirely as they chased after Ye Lei.

Only a few tiny cracks appeared in the bulletproof glass, showing just how sharp those sword qi were.

Seeing this, Ye Lei pushed off with his feet and retreated with Tang Yunqing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three ice-blue sword qi struck the spot where Ye Lei had been standing, leaving large cracks across the ground.

The solid sword qi showed no sign of dissipating as they released icy cold air across the floor. The water on the ground nearby instantly froze, and the sweltering exhibition hall turned cold in an instant.

However, this bit of chill was nothing to Ye Lei and Tang Yunqing.

"Mom, help me break that glass!"

Tang Yunqing hurriedly nodded. With a wave of her right hand, a purple Soul Ring appeared, and an Ice Thorn Sawfish emerged behind her.

"First Soul Skill, Frost Wind Ice Blade."

Tang Yunqing swung her arms back and forth, sending out two ice-blue, serrated light slashes that crossed as they struck the bulletproof glass.

The bulletproof glass shattered instantly, and a great deal of water poured out. Seeing this, Ye Lei exerted force with his right hand, and several Blue Silver Emperors shot straight toward the shadow.

The shadow sensed the threat and turned. An invisible sword qi severed every Blue Silver Emperor.

Ye Lei frowned slightly. Six Soul Rings appeared, and the third one lit up.

"Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint."

A purple ball of light appeared in Ye Lei's hand. He threw it directly into the tank, chasing after the shadow.

"Ding. Scan complete. Soul Beast: Ice Thorn Swordfish. Age: 1,400 years."

At that moment, Ye Lei's Soul Beast Detector completed its scan of the shadow and reported the result.

An Ice Thorn Swordfish, an Ice Attribute, and the age was suitable too. Wasn't this the perfect Soul Ring delivered right to their doorstep? Heaven really was helping him!

Then become my mom's Second Soul Ring!

The purple light transformed into a massive spider web the instant it approached the Ice Thorn Swordfish, restraining it.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Spike Array."

The fourth Soul Ring at Ye Lei's waist lit up. He abruptly crouched down and pressed both hands against the ground. In an instant, dozens of Blue Silver Emperor spikes burst from the earth, shooting toward the Ice Thorn Swordfish trapped in the web.

With danger upon it, the Ice Thorn Swordfish stopped concealing its strength. In an instant, a frigid sword qi burst forth, shredding the Blue Silver Emperors binding its body. The shattered Blue Silver Emperors were immediately frozen into icy fragments, falling to the ground and turning into tiny ice flowers.

However, even the Ice Thorn Swordfish's desperate final counterattack could not evade the attack of Ye Lei's Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill. It was pierced alive into a porcupine fish.

What Ye Lei had not expected was that the Ice Thorn Swordfish, with only its last breath remaining, launched one final attack at him.

An invisible sword qi tore through the air toward Ye Lei, piercing straight through his lower abdomen.

Ye Lei clutched his wound and staggered back several steps. He spat out a mouthful of blood, leaned against a nearby wall, and panted heavily.

"Son, are you all right? Is it serious? Why are you bleeding so much? Should we go to the hospital?"

Seeing this, Tang Yunqing hurried over and looked at Ye Lei with concern written all over her face.

Ye Lei shook his head, then looked up at Tang Yunqing.

"Mom, don't worry. Your son has a tough life. Go absorb the Soul Ring first!"

Tang Yunqing wanted to say more, but Ye Lei stopped her. She could not say anything else and could only go absorb the Soul Ring.

Ye Lei had long since brought the Ice Thorn Swordfish's corpse onto the ground. To prevent it from attacking again, he forcibly extracted its Beast Soul, sending it straight to meet the King of Hell.

While Tang Yunqing was absorbing the Soul Ring, Ye Lei discovered that the sword qi which had wounded him also carried an extreme Ice Element. The blood around his wound had already begun to coagulate.

Ye Lei began gathering Soul Power in his right hand. A crimson light flickered over it. Gritting his teeth, Ye Lei pressed his hand directly against the wound.

"Aah!"

Unable to endure it, Ye Lei opened his mouth and let out a heart-wrenching roar that echoed through the entire marine life exhibition hall.

P.S.: Why was the male lead, a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, injured by a thousand-year Soul Beast? All I can say is that he was blindly confident in his own strength and overlooked the fact that Soul Beasts could make a desperate final counterattack, so he was injured. There's no need to care too much about it, though. After all, Old Su didn't want the male lead's journey to be too smooth. There had to be at least a little setback. All right, that's it.

Respectfully, Old Su
