Ice Phoenix Crushes Blood Shark

Li Xuanbing appeared beneath the phoenix. She floated in midair, her silver hair stirring without wind, seven soul rings slowly revolving beneath her feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black. The seventh soul ring, a deep black, radiated a heart-pounding aura.

"Seventh soul skill," her calm voice carried across the entire arena. "Martial Soul Avatar."

The Ice Crystal Phoenix let out a clear, resonant cry. It was not sound, but a vibration of Soul Power that directly struck everyone's souls. In the stands, every Soul Master below Soul King level felt their minds tremble.

The phoenix dove down.

It did not strike with a physical body. Instead, it broke apart during its descent, reassembled, and merged with Li Xuanbing's body. Icy-blue radiance completely engulfed her figure. When the light faded, the being in the air was no longer a human girl.

It was a phoenix like an ice sculpture, yet it possessed a liveliness and divinity no sculpture could have. Its wingspan stretched eight meters, its tail feathers three zhang, and every feather shimmered with a pale blue halo. The phoenix's eyes were a pure icy blue. As it looked at Hong Kui, there was no emotion in them—only the indifference of judgment.

Hong Kui's face turned deathly pale.

He felt it—the absolute suppression of a Soul Sage over a Soul Emperor, the absolute dominion of Ultimate Ice over ordinary water attributes, the gap between their Martial Souls at their very core.

But the Sea Shark Gang never admitted defeat.

"Ahhh—!" Hong Kui went completely mad, pouring every last trace of Soul Power into the Blood Prison. "Let's die together! Blood Sea Incinerates the Body!"

The Blood Prison boiled. Viscous liquid surged into the sky and transformed into nine colossal blood-red pythons, lunging at the Ice Phoenix from different directions.
