Xue Tianyu Makes a Move, Slaughtering Everyone!

Bang!

The leader seized a moment when Shui Lanxin was catching her breath, his broad-bladed saber whistling through the air as he slammed the blunt edge hard into her back.

Shui Lanxin let out a muffled groan, and a mouthful of blood sprayed instantly onto the snowy ground.

Her voluptuous body lost its balance, crashing heavily to the ground, leaving her without even the strength to stand.

On the other side, Shui Bing'er was also retreating steadily under the pincer attack of two Soul Grand Masters.

She had already been on the verge of absorbing a soul ring, and her physical stamina was severely overdrawn.

One mercenary seized the opportunity to kick Shui Bing'er in the lower abdomen.

Shui Bing'er's delicate body flew backward, slamming hard beside Shui Lanxin, her knees striking the frozen ground with a heavy thud as she collapsed.

Fresh blood trickled continuously from the corners of her fair lips.

At this moment, the members of Skywater Academy had lost all combat capability, able only to support one another as they lay in the snow.

Seeing this, the members of the mercenary group immediately erupted into arrogant, mocking laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"So much for the top students of the so-called Skywater Academy! In front of my blade, you're nothing but a bunch of weaklings!"

"With skin this tender, I'd feel bad if I ruined it."

The thin mercenary who had kicked Shui Bing'er wore a lecherous grin as he strode toward her.

He reached out with a filthy, calloused hand, intending to grab Shui Bing'er by her short, water-blue hair.

"Little beauty, weren't you quite majestic when you were killing that snake earlier?"

"Why are you kneeling on the ground now?"

Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with an unyielding stubbornness that refused to surrender even in death.

"Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!"

"Even if I die here, I will never let you animals get what you want!"

The thin mercenary was instantly enraged by her defiance.

"You bitch, still running your mouth when you're at death's door!"

"I'll skin you alive right now!"

He raised his short blade high, the weapon whistling through the air as he brought it down toward Shui Bing'er's shoulder with a vicious strike.

Shui Bing'er no longer had a shred of strength left to dodge.

The girls from Skywater Academy nearby saw this and closed their eyes in despair, unable to bear the sight of the impending tragedy.

Just at this critical, hair-breadth moment.

The temperature in the air plummeted in a sheer, vertical drop.

A beam of pure, white light appeared out of thin air, slicing through the swirling snow like a bolt of lightning.

It was an incredibly pure frost sword aura!

Swish!

The sword aura shot forth from the depths of the snowstorm, moving at a speed the naked eye could not track, and sliced straight through the thin mercenary's body.

The mercenary's motion of raising his blade froze instantly in mid-air.

The next second, a thick layer of solid ice spread wildly from the point where he had been struck.

A faint cracking sound echoed through the air.

The living mercenary didn't even have time to let out a scream; he died instantly, transformed into a lifeless, crystalline ice sculpture.

Silence.

A deathly, suffocating silence.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events, their very breathing stalling for a heartbeat.

As a breeze blew, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the ice sculpture before it collapsed with a roar, shattering into a pile of ice shards.

The leader of the mercenary group was the first to react, his eyes bulging wide as a cold sweat broke out on his back.

He whipped his head around and roared into the depths of the snowstorm.

"Who's there!"

"Which death-seeking bastard dares to meddle in the affairs of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group!"

From within the howling wind and snow came the sound of steady, powerful footsteps.

Crunch.

Crunch.

The sound of boots treading on the packed snow was exceptionally clear in the quiet ice valley.

A tall, upright figure pierced through the white mist of snow, slowly walking into everyone's line of sight.

It was a youth dressed in a moon-white long robe.

His pace was unhurried, his entire being exuding an otherworldly, untainted coldness.

"A bunch of grown men, bullying a few young girls out here in the wilderness."

"Truly shameful."

Xue Tianyu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the present mercenaries with extreme indifference.

Shui Bing'er and the others heard the voice and opened their eyes one after another, looking at the newcomer with faces full of surprise.

That terrifying strike just now—was it actually unleashed by this youth?

Taking advantage of the reflection from the snow, Shui Bing'er finally saw the youth's appearance clearly.

Judging by his physique and the youthful degree of his features, he could not possibly be over twelve years old!

However, this youth was truly too handsome.

His features looked as if they had been meticulously carved from the finest ice, radiating the unique, peerless beauty exclusive to the Ice Phoenix clan.

The touch of aloofness and cold pride between his brows made it impossible for anyone to look away once they had seen him.

Even Shui Bing'er, who had always held herself in high regard and never gave boys her own age the time of day, could not help but steal a few extra glances at Xue Tianyu.

A stormy sea surged within her heart.

She was, after all, a Soul Elder of over level thirty, yet she could not see through this youth's strength at all!

Standing there, he felt like a bottomless abyss.

Moreover, he had actually called her group "young girls" just now?

He clearly looked a year or two younger than her!

After the members of the mercenary group saw the newcomer clearly, they were stunned for a moment, followed by a surge of burning rage.

They had originally thought they had encountered some passing hidden master, but after all that, it was just a brat who hadn't even grown his hair out yet.

The leader, his face full of malice, raised his broadsword and pointed it at Xue Tianyu.

"Where did this greenhorn come from!"

"Daring to kill my brothers from the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, don't even think about leaving here alive today!"

Hearing this, Xue Tianyu's handsome face remained without a ripple.

He looked at the clamoring leader with a calm gaze.

"Even your ancestors would have to respectfully call me Senior if they saw me."

"And you dare call me a greenhorn?"

Hearing these words, Shui Bing'er and the girls from Skywater Academy were collectively speechless.

This youth was indeed stunningly handsome, and that move just now had been quite impressive.

But wasn't he being a bit too arrogant?

For an eleven or twelve-year-old child to claim that someone's ancestors should call him Senior—this bragging was truly going a bit too far.

The members of the mercenary group were even more enraged upon hearing this.

"Little beast, you dare to talk big even when death is at your doorstep!"

A Soul Master with level thirty soul power roared and charged out.

The iron hammer martial soul in his hand whipped up a gale, smashing fiercely toward Xue Tianyu's head.

"Die!"

Facing this heavy and powerful strike, Xue Tianyu did not even spare him a glance.

He merely raised his right hand casually, pressed his index and middle fingers together, and made a light swipe toward the Soul Master in mid-air.

Whoosh!

Another extremely solid frost sword qi shot out from his fingertips.

The sword qi traced an incredibly graceful arc through the air, moving at the speed of light.

The Soul Master didn't even see how the sword qi appeared before a pillar of blood erupted violently from his throat.

Immediately following, an extreme cold energy burst forth, instantly freezing his spurting blood along with his entire body into ice.

With a muffled thud.

The Soul Master's corpse hit the ground and shattered into several pieces.

One-hit kill!

Another one-hit kill!
