Let Go of That Fish, Let Me Do It! Another Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring

The Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon took a couple of breaths.

It glanced around warily and swayed its tail fin nervously.

It turned around and was about to dive into the deep-sea trench.

But, in the very instant it turned around...

A sleek, icy blue figure blocked their path.

Upon closer inspection Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon...

Get a good look at that ice scorpion radiating a deadly chill.

It shuddered violently, even forgetting to swing its tail fin.

That chilling fear, etched into my very bones, surged back into my heart.

It's her!

There's no escaping it!

The thing in front of me could easily crush it.

Ice Empress looked down at it from its high vantage point.

His tone was icy cold. "Where do you want to go?"

"Damn it! How did you manage to follow me?!"

The Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon struggled frantically, desperately trying to dive underwater.

Ice Empress didn't want to waste a single word.

She slightly opened her claws.

The Eternal Frozen Domain!

An extreme chill emanated from her and spread wildly outwards.

Within a 3,000-meter radius, the sea surface rapidly froze into thick, solid ice at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the underwater currents were completely frozen and stopped.

The Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon was terrified and crashed headfirst into the Ice Seal ice wall.

A muffled thud.

The solid ice wall remained completely still.

The Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon crashed into the water, its scales flying off and scattering, yet it couldn't break even the slightest gap.

It was completely trapped in the center of this huge circular ice rink.

There was no way to ascend to heaven, nor to descend to earth.

Ice Empress stepped onto the smooth, mirror-like Ice Surface, approaching step by step.

"Before me, you don't even have the right to run away."

The scorpion tail behind her slowly rose into the air.

The crystal-clear tail end glowed with extremely dazzling blue and white light spots.

The countdown to death has begun.

A very thin, ice-blue ray shot out directly.

It pierced through the thick ice layer at lightning speed, accurately striking the broad chest of the Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon.

A decisive and overwhelming victory in combat strength.

The overwhelming chill crept in through the wound, frantically penetrating its internal organs.

Half of the Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon's massive body was frozen solid.

It lay there desperately on the Ice Surface.

Life was rapidly slipping away, leaving only a faint strength to breathe, and he became nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

Ice Empress looked at the dying prey at their feet.

His eyes were full of contempt.

"With such meager skills, you dare to act arrogantly before me, the Emperor?"

She raised the massive left scorpion claw without a shred of pity.

Cold air gathers.

It was about to smash down directly onto the enormous head of the Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon.

If that blow lands...

This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast will immediately turn into a pile of ashes.

Ye Qing's expression changed drastically.

What he was waiting for was the Soul Ring of this Soul Beast. If Ice Empress smashed it with one hammer blow, the Soul Ring would be completely useless.

Spare the fish!

Ye Qing shouted in a panic.

"Let me do it!"

Ice Empress's techniques are already outdated.

That terrifying power was unleashed completely, and there was no way to stop it.

At the critical moment.

A figure in white flashed past.

Using a movement that had no discernible trajectory, Snow Empress appeared directly in front of Ice Empress.

With a cool and aloof expression, she calmly raised her slender right hand and steadily caught the huge scorpion claw that was about to fall.

The violent chill vanished without a trace in her palm.

Ice Empress's fatal attack was abruptly stopped.

She stared intently at the Snow Empress before her.

A surge of anger immediately ignited within him.

"What are you doing?!"

Ice Empress withdrew its massive scorpion claws.

The anger that had been suppressed suddenly flared up again.

"I am determined to wash away this humiliation, why are you stopping me?"

Snow Empress did not refute, but simply turned slightly to let her see Ye Qing.

Ye Qing helplessly shrugged.

"Ice Empress, please calm down."

"Our voyage here is specifically for hunting Soul Ring."

"This Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon possesses both water and fire attributes, which is quite compatible with my Martial Soul."

"Plus, this is a solid 100,000 years of cultivation; it absolutely cannot be wasted."

"If you were to smash it into mincemeat with that hammer blow..."

"Did I waste my trip to the Sea of Buried Corpses?"

Snow Empress added unhurriedly from the side, "Soul Beast must be killed by the Soul Master himself in order to successfully absorb the Soul Ring."

"Smashing it to death is such a waste."

Ice Empress was taken aback.

I was so busy venting my anger at having my prey escape that I forgot about the important matter.

Her crystal-clear eyes flickered twice.

He awkwardly turned the huge scorpion's head to one side.

Her arrogant tone carried a hint of awkwardness, as if she were descending a step.

"Wordy."

"Hurry up and do it, or it'll die on its own and I won't be responsible."

Ye Qing grinned and strode to the enormous head of the Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon.

This former deep-sea predator no longer even had the strength to struggle.

All he could do was stare intently at the human before him with his dim, heterochromatic eyes.

Ye Qing raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers forming a sword gesture.

A bluish light swirled around the fingertips.

The extremely sharp Green Lotus Sword Intent rapidly condensed in the void.

Dozens of illusory blue lotus petals appeared out of thin air.

The edges of each petal gleamed with a sharp, cold light, capable of cutting through gold and jade.

"Go."

Ye Qing uttered a single word.

Dozens of lotus petals transformed into a dense cluster of flying swords, piercing the brow of the Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon in unison.

There were no obstacles.

The sword intent pierced straight into its brain, completely severing its life force.

Its massive body convulsed violently twice.

Then there was absolutely no further movement.

Sisi of crimson light seeped from above the ichthyosaur's corpse, rapidly converging and intertwining.

A dazzling, bright red halo slowly formed in mid-air.

A faint, flowing light of water and fire swirled around the halo.

The terrifying pressure unique to Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring rippled outwards in concentric circles.

The level of Soul Power fluctuation was outrageously pure.

Ye Qing looked at the bright red Soul Ring before him and snapped his fingers in satisfaction.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, acquired."

He exhaled a long breath and turned to look at the two rulers of the Far North behind him.

"My lords, I'll have to trouble you to protect me from now on."

"Absorbing this stuff will probably take some time."

Snow Empress nodded gently. "Don't worry about absorbing it, I'll take care of things here."

His tone remained cool, yet carried an undeniable promise.

Ice Empress crossed their arms and let out a cold snort of extreme impatience.

"What a hassle."

"I have to personally oversee a human absorbing a Soul Ring."

Complaints aside...

She obediently stepped aside, her sharp gaze sweeping across the dark sea.

"Absorb it with peace of mind, we'll be there for you even if the sky falls."

With these two large Buddha statues guarding the area on either side, Ye Qing immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot.

The solid ice beneath him emitted Sisi chilling aura, just enough to keep him perfectly conscious.

He closed his eyes and channeled his spiritual energy.

The bright red Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring in mid-air was drawn by the spell and slowly fell onto his body.

As soon as the violent dual energies of water and fire entered his body, Ye Qing's brows furrowed into a knot.

The resentment of this Nine-Jointed Fish Dragon is extraordinary.

The domineering Soul Power surged wildly through the meridians, like a runaway horse.

Ye Qing calmed his mind and focused all his Soul Power on suppressing the violent energy.
