Yet Pang Lie still surged forward, his Tenth Realm spiritual power transforming into golden radiance that filled the sky as he crashed head-on into the mid-Tenth Realm azure ice beast.
In an instant, the entire underground cavern shook violently, countless ice spikes raining down like raindrops.
This battle was proving extremely arduous.
The ice beast was thick-skinned and tough-fleshed, and it held the advantage of the terrain. Though Pang Lie's cultivation surpassed it by a level, killing it quickly would be difficult.
At the edge of the cavern, Jiang Yunsheng gently waved his folding fan, looking utterly composed.
Turning around, he smiled at Su Yueli and Han Yu and struck up a conversation. "Miss Su, this abyss is bitterly cold, and staying too long will harm your body. Once we obtain the medicinal herbs, why not come to the Great Qian Imperial City with me for a visit?"
"My imperial treasury holds quite a few rare treasures suitable for martial artists to nourish their blood and vital energy."
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Su Yueli's flawless, beautiful profile, carrying the arrogant confidence of someone certain of victory.
Han Yu stood to one side, feeling rather speechless.
Their guard was risking his life up ahead, yet this Crown Prince still had the mood to flirt with women?
Su Yueli pursed her lips, just about to refuse.
Boom!
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted.
Pang Lie spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying backward over Jiang Yunsheng and the others like a kite with its string cut, before smashing viciously into the ice wall behind them.
But the next moment, Pang Lie let out a furious roar and transformed into a streak of golden light once more, charging back into the battlefield to grapple with the beast.
