Emperor Sword, Unparalleled Ice Extremity!

"Big Sister Bing'er!" Lin Xuan cried out in surprise when he saw who had arrived.

"Didn't you say you were going out to gain experience? Why did you come to the Evil Demon Forest?" The Ice Empress grabbed Lin Xuan by the ear and scolded him irritably.

"Hey, hey, Big Sister Bing'er, go easy! Since I'm out gaining experience, isn't it perfectly normal for me to hunt soul beasts in the Evil Demon Forest?" Feeling the sharp pain in his ear, Lin Xuan hurriedly gave in.

"I'll settle this score with you later! Deal with the trouble in front of us first." The Ice Empress slowly released him, then glanced at Wang Qiu'er and instructed Lin Xuan, "Little Xuan, take her and leave first. Xue'er and I will come find you afterward."

With that, the Ice Empress vanished in a flash and reappeared high in the sky. At the same time, the Snow Empress silently appeared at her side. Clearly, that enormous ice-blue palm just now had come from her Emperor Palm.

"Ice... the Ice and Snow Emperors..." Wang Qiu'er stared at the Ice Empress and Snow Empress standing in the sky, her pink-blue eyes filled with astonishment. She then turned to Lin Xuan and asked, "Don't tell me they're your sisters?"

"We'll talk later." Lin Xuan grabbed Wang Qiu'er's hand and led her several thousand meters away from the battlefield, stopping only at the outskirts of the Evil Demon Forest. He then said softly, "Qiu'er, the sisters I mentioned are the Ice Empress and Snow Empress."

"How is that possible?! Aren't you human? Given how much the Ice Empress and Snow Empress hate humans, how could they possibly be your sisters?" Wang Qiu'er was still bewildered as she pressed him.

"But they are my sisters!" Lin Xuan played with Wang Qiu'er's delicate, fair hand as he slowly said, "They even adopted me."

"Adopted?" Wang Qiu'er froze for a moment before asking, "You're saying the Ice Empress and Snow Empress adopted you?"

"Mm-hmm, that's right." Lin Xuan nodded.

"This is... too absurd..." Wang Qiu'er murmured in disbelief.

"Is it that absurd? It's not too bad." Lin Xuan smacked his lips indifferently. "No matter how absurd it is, it can't compare to what happened in that cave last time. After all, I didn't know something like that would happen."

"You bastard, Lin Xuan! Would it kill you not to bring that up?!" Wang Qiu'er instantly recalled some unpleasant memories. Her pretty face flushed red as she glared at Lin Xuan in embarrassment and anger, yet surprisingly, she did not hit him this time.

"Alright, alright. Let's go first and rest in a town in the Sun Moon Empire." Lin Xuan took Wang Qiu'er's hand and turned toward the town.

Lin Xuan had no need to worry about the Ice Empress and Snow Empress at all.

With his help, the Snow Empress had not only successfully survived the Seven Hundred Thousand Year Tribulation, but had also formed Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores.

Although the Ice Empress had only survived the Four Hundred Thousand Year Tribulation, her strength had soared to the level of a Rank 98 Super Douluo. They already wielded Ultimate Ice, and together, they were even more formidable.

An evil soul master like Ye Xishui, who had improved through devouring others, might not even be able to defeat the current Ice Empress.

Even if she joined forces with Long Xiaoyao, they would still be no match for the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.

Not to mention that the two of them possessed a terrifying fusion skill—Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors!

No matter what, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui would most likely be unable to escape this disaster.

Even if they did escape, they would have to pay a terrible price. The Ice Empress and Snow Empress spoiled him to no end, and he did not believe those two could flee their hands unscathed.

At that moment, in the outskirts of the Evil Demon Forest...

"Since you came, don't even think about leaving." Frost covered the Snow Empress's beautiful face as she coldly stared down at Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, who had blocked her Emperor Palm. Her red lips parted, and emotionless words left her mouth.

Ice-blue Soul Power surged around the Snow Empress's graceful body. Then, as she clenched her jade-like hand, an Emperor Sword of icy white, lustrous jade, covered in frost patterns, appeared in her grasp. Bone-chilling cold instantly swept outward.

"Emperor Sword! Unparalleled Ice Extremity!"

The Snow Empress did not hesitate in the slightest, opening with a killing move. Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao had already crossed a line she would not tolerate.

In her heart, aside from the Ice Empress, Lin Xuan was the person closest to her. She had always regarded him as her own younger brother.

Moreover, Lin Xuan had resolved every crisis brought by the Heavenly Tribulation hanging over her. Without Lin Xuan, there would be no her today.

That debt of gratitude and bond had truly enraged the Snow Empress. She struck with all her strength from the very beginning. As her Soul Power surged, boundless extreme cold crashed down from above, as though she wished to kill Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao on the spot without showing the slightest mercy.

The next second, the Snow Empress lightly raised her sword-wielding wrist. Ice-blue Soul Power flowed down her arm and poured into the Emperor Sword. With a sweep of her right hand, a terrifying ice-blue sword radiance shot from the blade and hurtled toward Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao below.

Snowflakes drifted along the path of the ice-blue sword radiance, and the temperature plummeted to an astonishing degree.

"Emperor Palm... Emperor Sword... You're the Snow Empress! How is that possible?!" Long Xiaoyao stared at the ice-blue sword radiance tearing through the air, his black eyes filled with shock.

Combining it with the Emperor Palm the Snow Empress had used earlier, Long Xiaoyao instantly confirmed her identity.

"Long Xiaoyao, what are you standing around for?!" Ye Xishui sensed something was wrong and shouted sharply.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Dragon Roar Suppresses the Nine Heavens!"

Ye Xishui's rebuke instantly snapped Long Xiaoyao back to his senses. The blood-red ninth soul ring around him flared brightly once more.

"Roar!"

An impassioned dragon roar suddenly burst from Long Xiaoyao's body. Then, a black dragon hundreds of meters long emerged behind him.

The instant the black dragon appeared, a dark aura spread from its body, offsetting part of the chill within the Snow Empress's sword radiance.

Then, the black dragon raised its head and roared toward the heavens, opening its mouth to fire a black pillar of light at the Snow Empress's incoming sword radiance. That black beam seemed capable of devouring all things, and a faint devouring force swept out with it.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous explosion that echoed through the sky, the ice-blue sword radiance unleashed by the Snow Empress's Emperor Sword collided fiercely with the black pillar of light fired by Long Xiaoyao.

"Sizzle!"

Ice-blue Soul Power and pitch-black Soul Power eroded each other, each trying to dissolve the other's attack into nothingness. But how could the Snow Empress's Emperor Sword be so easily blocked? Before long, her sword radiance gained the upper hand, slicing straight through Long Xiaoyao's black pillar of light and continuing toward him without losing momentum.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Sorrow of the Demon Kui!"

Seeing that Long Xiaoyao could not block the Snow Empress's attack, Ye Xishui had no choice but to unleash her own ninth soul skill.
