Even with his entire body covered in ice crystals, Wu Qingkong still felt a chill as though he had plunged into an ice cellar.
His whole body shuddered.
But soon, a crimson light surged out from within him.
This was precisely the Shura Divine Power, which dispelled the cold energy the Snow Empress had injected earlier.
The surging red divine power caught the Snow Empress's attention.
"So this is your divine power?"

As the sword emerged, wind and snow suddenly rose.
Just one glance at the sword in the Snow Empress's hand made Wu Qingkong feel as though a layer of frost had covered his eyes.
The power of this sword surpassed imagination.
The aura and sharpness contained within it
