After their clash, Su Qi spoke calmly, but his voice carried an undeniable pressure.
A Soul Master's greatest strength was their Martial Soul, yet they had been utterly crushed by a Soul Master who had not even summoned his. No one dared hope for a lucky escape.
So when Su Qi told them to sacrifice themselves or die, even the Snow Empress, the Far North's strongest Ferocious Beast, began weighing her choice.
The Ice Empress made up her mind first. If she refused, she would die now.
Even if he spared her today, she would die in ten thousand years when she failed her tribulation.
If death awaited her either way, she might as well take a gamble and choose sacrifice!
The Snow Empress saw things differently. As the Overlord of Soul Beasts in the Far North, she could not think only of herself. She had to consider the safety of the other Soul Beasts there.
She could no longer protect them, so she had to find a way to keep their losses as low as possible.
After a moment's thought, the Snow Empress looked up at Su Qi. "Human, spare all the Soul Beasts in the Far North and promise never to harm them again. Then I'll sacrifice myself to you."
Su Qi descended before her and refused. "No. You lost. Sacrifice yourself or die. You're in no position to bargain with me."
"Snow Empress, you can refuse and face death bravely. But after I kill you, I'll wipe out every Soul Beast in the Far North too."
As he spoke, Su Qi seized the Snow Empress's wrist, hauled her off the ground, and dragged her to his side.
The Snow Empress had lost all the imposing force of a Ferocious Beast and all the dignity of the Overlord
