Having figured out what was going on, Su Shi'er secretly rejoiced that he had acted cautiously from the start and had not rashly headed from the outside toward the other peaks.
Otherwise, with one careless misstep, he might not even have known how he died.
Left with no choice, he then brought Fairy Yun Hua back to the lowest peak.
On the peak Baili Chen's sword light had cleaved in two, Baili Chen remained trapped within the solid ice formed by the Ten Thousand Year Cold Air.
Yet unlike before, fine cracks had now appeared throughout the ice.
Every crack brimmed with astonishing sword intent.
It was precisely the presence of that sword intent that prevented the solid ice from fully forming.
"What a Baili Chen. Worthy indeed of a Spirit Severing stage sword cultivator from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect—he actually thought of such a method to break the Ten Thousand Year Cold Air!"
"By mixing sword intent into the solid ice, if this continues, once the sword intent completely permeates the ice, that will likely be when he breaks free from the Ten Thousand Year Cold Air entirely!"
Su Shi'er's pupils contracted violently as his gaze swept over the frozen Baili Chen.
At a glance, he saw what the other man was doing.
Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Year Cold Air was not a force he could contend with at all. If he took action now, he feared that one small misstep would instead aid Baili Chen in breaking free.
If he tried to be clever and made matters worse, allowing Baili Chen to break free even sooner, that would be even less welcome.
Even more wary now, Su Shi'er did not dare waste time.
He hurriedly took Fairy Yun Hua and flew toward the second mountain peak.
