Ancestor, Save Me!
"Fine, fine, fine! Since you want to take the lead, I'll grant your wish! Even if you die in my Ice River Valley today, Venerable Yao won't blame Ice River Valley!"
It's really not something you can say much about standing up for a friend.
The Ice Venerable would no longer try to persuade Xiao Yan to leave.
However, similarly, if Xiao Yan were to perish in Ice River Valley under the guise of helping a friend, Yao Lao would indeed be unable to legitimately do anything to Ice River Valley in the name of revenge.
After all, strictly speaking, Ice River Valley didn't actually confront Xiao Yan; rather, it was the latter who deliberately ran into Ice River Valley!
With both sides having their own reasons, it comes down to who has the stronger fist.
The battle continues!
With his superior cultivation and advantageous terrain, Ice Venerable held his own in a 1v2 situation, and the two sides were truly locked in a stalemate.
However, this balance between the two sides did not last long before it was broken.
The reason is that the battle on another battlefield has ended!
"Boom"
The sky above the distant ice plains has collapsed!
"Hush~"
Immediately afterwards, both sides, who were still fighting, heard a terrifying roar.
Then, a huge black shadow came from the direction of the ice field and headed straight for the battlefield.
Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a gigantic serpentine monster!
It is a hundred meters long, with jet-black scales covering its back and a snow-white belly. Distinct feathers can be seen on both sides of its body. Its head is flat and wide, but it looks extremely ferocious.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is not actually the snake-like monster, but the girl in a cool long dress standing on its head!
Who else could this girl be but Qing Lin?
Upon seeing Qing Lin, the Ice Venerable's expression darkened.
He had already had Tian Shuangzi restrain Qing Lin, but now that the other party is still here, the outcome is almost obvious.
On the contrary, when Xiao Yi Xian saw that Qing Lin was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief and a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Xiao Yi Xian, are you alright? I'm here to help you!"
At this moment, Qing Lin waved to Xiao Yi Xian from the head of the snake-like magical beast and shouted.
"Good!"
Xiao Yi Xian didn't say much, only this one word.
Since this was Xiao Yan's first meeting with Qing Lin in this life, he curiously took a look at her and the snake-like magical beast beneath her.
Judging from this situation, it's clear that the snake-like monster is being controlled by the girl in front of them.
"To be able to control an eighth-tier snake-type magical beast, just who is that girl?"
After sensing that the snake-like magical beast beneath Qing Lin was extraordinary, Xiao Yan was also startled.
After all, that's Eighth-Rank Magical Beast!
What it corresponds to is a human Dou Zun Realm expert!
Do you think Xiao Yan, seeing this for the first time, wouldn't be secretly surprised?
And this is precisely the domineering nature of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!
Apart from those snake-type magical beasts with exceptionally high bloodlines or whose strength far surpasses Qing Lin's, all other snake-type magical beasts will become targets controlled by Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
Clearly, the eighth-tier snake-like magical beast in front of us is being controlled by Qing Lin using her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils ability.
In fact, the Ice Venerable's plan had a flaw.
Under normal circumstances, Tian Shuangzi, with his One-Star Dou Venerable Zun cultivation, would indeed be able to trap Qing Lin, who has Two-Star Dou Venerable cultivation, once he controls a Formation.
However, Qing Lin's combat strength cannot be calculated solely based on her individual abilities!
In layman's terms, Qing Lin is also a beast tamer!
After her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were developed, a unique and independent space existed within her eyes.
This independent and special space can be used to absorb snake-type magical beasts.
Once the serpentine magical beasts are absorbed into that independent and special space, their life and death are completely in Qing Lin's control.
Moreover, for every snake-type magical beast absorbed into that special independent space, Qing Lin's strength would increase by one point.
As for how much it will increase, that depends on the cultivation level of the snake-like magical beast that was absorbed by the Qing Lin.
At this moment, Qing Lin had clearly released this snake-like magical beast, which had reached the eighth rank, from the special independent space within his eyes to assist him in the battle.
In that case, how could Tian Shuangzi, a mere One-Star Dou Venerable, possibly withstand the combined attack of Qing Lin and an eighth-tier snake-like magical beast, even if he controlled a Formation?
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Tian Shuangzi's ability to hold on until now is already an extraordinary achievement!
Unfortunately, he ultimately didn't get the support he was waiting for from his own valley master!
Seeing Qing Lin join the battle with her eighth-tier snake-type magical beast pet, the Ice Venerable's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
How is Tian Shuangzi?
The Ice Venerable stared at Qing Lin and spoke in a deep voice.
"Huh? You mean that guy? I'm so sorry, Little Black couldn't help himself, and..."
"Hush~"
As Qing Lin finished speaking, the eighth-tier snake-like magical beast beneath her, which Qing Lin called "Little Black," let out another excited roar.
That human Dou Zun expert just now tasted pretty good!
"Boom"
Realizing something, the Ice Venerable's aura became even lower, and his Dou Qi erupted without reservation.
"You must pay the price for killing my First Elder of Ice River Valley!"
The death of Tian Shuangzi was a huge blow to Ice River Valley.
After all, this is the real loss of a Dou Zun expert!
Moreover, Tian Shuangzi is the second most important person in his Ice River Valley.
For Ice River Valley, this is a huge loss!
However, karma is a cyclical thing, and retribution is inevitable.
Since Ice River Valley had ulterior motives towards Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, this ending is entirely deserved.
Even if word gets out, no one will criticize the two women.
After all, you can't just allow yourself to have wicked thoughts about others while forbidding them from resisting, can you?
However, while the Ice Venerable has made his tough statement, whether he can actually deliver on it remains to be seen.
That's questionable!
Then, the Ice Venerable launched a fierce attack, facing off against three opponents plus an Eighth-Rank Magical Beast.
Then, he got a brutal beating in return.
There's absolutely no suspense!
Even though the Ice Venerable is stronger than anyone else right now, he is still fighting four against one!
Four-Star Dou Venerable, after unleashing his Acquired Calamity Poison Body, possessed the strength of Five-Star Dou Venerable. Coupled with the advantage of location, he was able to further unleash the strength of Six-Star Dou Venerable, but that was all.
That's not enough for him to take on 4 opponents at once.
Sure enough, before the rest of the battle could even last the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he couldn't hold on any longer.
"Ancestor, save me!"
Under the righteous onslaught of Xiao Yan, his two companions, and an eighth-tier snake-like magical beast, the Ice Venerable cried out for help.
