Spare Your Life

Lin Yue felt a shiver in her heart, her gaze instantly turning as cold as frost. She lifted her head slightly, staring straight at the tall man who claimed to be a member of the space pirate gang with eyes like torches. "You have likely found the wrong person," she said coldly. "I do not have what you are looking for here. Get back to your lair at once!" Though her voice was icy, it carried an unquestionable firmness and resolve.

The tall man was stunned for a moment, then burst into a fit of wild laughter that echoed across the silent Frostblue Planet, as if it would shatter the surrounding ice and snow. "Hahaha, little girl, you have quite a sharp tongue. Do you know the power of our space pirate gang? We roam this universe at will, and no one has ever dared to defy our orders." As he spoke, he slowly closed the distance, the malice and greed radiating from him growing ever more intense; his eyes were like those of a starving wolf staring at its soon-to-be-captured prey.

Lin Yue did not retreat in the slightest. She secretly gathered the power of the Ice Soul in her hands, and wisps of cold air began to rise around her palms, gradually condensing into tiny ice particles that shimmered with a crystalline glow under the refraction of the sunlight. She kept a close watch on every move the man made and said vigilantly, "No matter who you are, you will not get anything from me. I have cultivated on this Frostblue Planet for many years, and I am not to be trifled with." At this moment, she was like a lone wolf of the Ice Plain guarding its territory, refusing to show weakness even when facing a powerful enemy.

The group of subordinates behind the man also swarmed forward, their faces twisted with mockery and greed. One tall, thin man waved the energy weapon in his hand and said viciously, "Boss, why waste words with her? Just take her down and search for the treasure." The others chimed in, and for a moment, the air was thick with tension, as if a great battle were about to erupt.

Seeing this, Lin Yue grew even more alert. She knew well that she was facing a group of vicious space pirates, and once a fight broke out, it would surely be a desperate struggle. Yet she was not afraid; she had endured countless life-and-death trials on the Frostblue Planet, and the power of the Ice Soul had grown ever stronger through her constant cultivation. She believed that with her own strength and wisdom, she would certainly be able to handle the crisis at hand.

She quickly scanned the surrounding environment, looking for a possible breakthrough. Not far away lay a cluster of ice mountains; the complex terrain there would be advantageous for her to maneuver using the power of the Ice Soul. With a light tap of her feet, her figure moved like lightning, swiftly flying toward the ice mountains. At the same time, as she flew, she continuously released the power of the Ice Soul, forming walls of ice behind her in an attempt to block the pirates' pursuit.

The members of the space pirate gang were stunned to see Lin Yue suddenly flee, but they quickly gave chase. The tall man roared, "Trying to run? It won't be that easy!" He leaped forward, his black battle armor glowing brightly as the energy flames of the red gems burned fiercely, propelling his speed to a sudden increase. He streaked across the sky like a meteor, pursuing Lin Yue.

Lin Yue moved freely among the ice mountains, using the power of the Ice Soul to manipulate the surrounding snow and ice, turning them into countless ice blades that she fired at the pirates behind her. The ice blades shimmered with a cold light in the sun, striking the enemy like waves of arrows. The pirates scrambled to dodge, but several were still grazed by the blades, letting out cries of pain.

However, the space pirate gang was not to be underestimated. A glowing energy sword suddenly appeared in the tall man's hand, its blade etched with flickering runes that emitted powerful energy fluctuations. He swung the energy sword, shattering the ice blades Lin Yue fired one by one, all the while roaring, "Little girl, these tricks of yours are useless against me."

Seeing that her ice blade attacks were ineffective, Lin Yue's heart sank. She knew she had to find a way to exploit the pirates' weaknesses if she were to have any chance of defeating them. Thus, she stopped in the ice mountains and turned to face the approaching enemies. She took a deep breath, gathered all the power of the Ice Soul into her hands, and prepared to meet the coming battle.

At this moment, the cold wind on the Frostblue Planet seemed to sense the tense atmosphere, howling even more violently. Shards of ice and snow were swept up by the gale, forming a white barrier between Lin Yue and the space pirate gang, adding a touch of mystery and tragedy to this impending life-and-death struggle.
