Longing Becomes a Prison Traps the Snow Empress, the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North Gather!

"Is Xue Beng about to occur?!" Bibi Dong supported Ah Yin beside her, her expression instantly turning serious.

Chen Jianjun also stepped out of the ice house. He looked at the rapidly changing sky, and a flash of silver light appeared in his palm as the Seven Kill Sword instantly solidified.

"Everyone, come inside!"

"Dugu Bo, protect them!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately erected Soul Power barrier, protecting the young people as they walked inside the door. He then turned to check on his son.

Yu Xiaogang turned back one last time, his voice tightening as he asked, "Senior Chen, is Teacher...?"

Chen Jianjun did not answer immediately. A silver Sword Light rose from his palm, enveloping the ice house and the surrounding ice mounds.

But the booming sound continued to come from outside the barrier.

In the distance, the snow surged and rolled, and the outlines of the continuous mountain ranges disappeared one after another, as if the entire ice field would collapse in the next moment!

"Boom!"

The next second, the thick snow on the distant mountain ridge suddenly slid down in one go!

White waves of snow cascaded down the slope, churning up ice fragments as they hurtled towards the ice mound where the group stood. Just as Flender stepped inside, he heard the clang of a sword behind him!

Chen Jianjun stepped forward, his Seven Kill Sword slashing diagonally at the snow waves!

The silver Sword Light plowed across the ice, forcefully parting the snow tide at the forefront, while the snow behind continued to press in, causing the barrier protecting the igloo to flicker repeatedly.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo immediately channeled his Soul Power into the inner side of the barrier, and the phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled up to block the ice shards that were squeezing in from both sides.

"You all stay inside, don't come out!"

The two men, one in front and one behind, firmly protected the igloo. The surging snow flowed through the barriers on both sides, and the lights inside the igloo swayed violently.

Chen Jianjun never looked back; whenever a large chunk of solid ice crashed into him, he precisely shattered it.

Yu Xiaogang gazed at the white snow wall outside the door that almost obscured the sky, his fingers involuntarily clenching, and he thought to himself:

What exactly happened deep within the icy plains? Could it be that the teacher is fighting someone...?

Meanwhile, in a deep blue ice valley.

A bright green light suddenly shone, and a giant scorpion with a crystal-clear body raised its head from between the ice layers, looking at the surging wind and snow in the distance.

"Snow Empress?"

Ice Empress quickly recognized the aura, but when it sensed another unfamiliar power within the domain, its gaze immediately turned cold.

"Someone actually dares to fight the Snow Empress in the Far North?"

The next moment, a turquoise light streaked out of the icy valley, and the Ice Empress headed straight for the battle!

On the other side, atop a snow-capped mountain, the enormous figure that had been lying prone suddenly stood up—it was none other than the Titan Snow Demon King!

"Did Snow Empress get into a fight?"

It gazed at the sky obscured by wind and snow, let out a low roar, and then leaped off the cliff, its massive body crossing the snow-covered ridge one after another.

The Snow Empress raised her hand and grasped the deep blue longsword that had materialized. Wherever the sword's tip pointed, the surrounding chill suddenly tightened, and she uttered a low shout:

"Emperor Sword, Ice-Extreme Unrivaled!"

Instantly.

A deep blue Sword Light instantly tore through the wind and snow, slashing straight at Li Qingshan!

Seeing this, Li Qingshan slowly opened his right palm, and the Passionate Sword instantly appeared in his hand.

Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, red—nine Soul Rings rose up one after another from beneath his feet, with the Seventh Soul Ring being the first to unleash a black light!

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

A silver-white sword shadow shot into the sky, its headband, arm guards, and Bone Armor appearing in the background.

Li Qingshan raised his sword to meet the attack, and the two Sword Lights collided violently in mid-air. The snowflakes swirled back, and several deep cracks appeared on the ice beneath his feet, but he did not retreat an inch.

Seeing this, the Snow Empress's gaze sharpened, and she said in a deep voice:

"Sword Martial Soul?"

"You keep calling yourself the Golden Dragon King, but when you actually fight, you use a human's Martial Soul and Soul Rings. How laughable!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a silvery light quickly spread across the ice surface.

" In the Love Sword Domain, Love Brings Only Regret Since Ancient Times!"

Silver Threads of Emotion pierced through the wind and snow, disappearing into Emperor's Cold Heaven's domain. Just as the Snow Empress was about to sever them with her sword, Li Qingshan's Eighth Soul Ring lit up!

"The Eighth Soul Skill, Longing Becomes a Prison!"

The scattered Threads of Emotion suddenly tightened, then transformed into countless fine Sword Lights, crisscrossing from all directions!

Snow Empress raised her sword and swept it horizontally, shattering the sword threads in front of her. However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and realized that the sword threads were actually following her emotional fluctuations, interfering with her control over her Soul Power!

"You think you can trap me in the Far North?"

A sudden burst of cold air caused the silver cage, which had just closed, to bulge outwards!

Li Qingshan had already raised his Passionate Sword, and the crimson Soul Rings on his body suddenly shone brightly. He shouted, "Ninth Soul Skill —A Thousand Cups of Wine—I fear I may never encounter it again in this lifetime!"

The sword fell, and the silver light struck directly in front of the Snow Empress.

In a daze.

She seemed to be standing once again on the icy plains she had traversed alone through the long years.

The wind and snow continued, but the familiar scents around me had all faded away, and even Xiao Bai's cry of "Mom" had become unreachable.

An indescribable sorrow of parting suddenly welled up in my heart.

The Snow Empress immediately realized something was wrong and forced herself to concentrate, but a momentary gap ultimately appeared in the connection of her Soul Power!

Li Qingshan's Dual Soul Cores accelerated their operation simultaneously, and a surge of powerful Soul Power flowed out along the sword threads, causing the silver cage to suddenly close!

When the Snow Empress swung her sword again, her wrist was already held by several streaks of silver light, and layers of Threads of Emotion intertwined around her, temporarily separating her from the ever-flowing power of ice and snow.

In just a moment, the snowstorm that had been expanding was pushed back to her side!

Snow Empress's heart sank.

She still possessed strength, but whenever she prepared to break free, the sorrow of parting deep within her heart would surge up again, causing her newly formed offensive to falter by half a beat.

The opponent's two Soul Skills worked together, preventing her from escaping for the time being!

"Let her go!"

Just then, an angry shout suddenly came from afar!

A beam of emerald green light pierced through the snow curtain, heading straight for Li Qingshan's shoulder. Almost simultaneously, a gigantic fist covered in white fur slammed down from above, the heavy gust of wind flattening all the snow on the ground!

Ice Empress and Titan Snow Demon King have arrived!

They had just arrived when they saw Snow Empress trapped; they had no time to ask what had happened.

Seeing this, Xiong Jun suddenly stood up straight, his dark gold claws extending out to block Li Qingshan, and roared:

"You dare touch my teacher?!"

"Step back!"

Li Qingshan let out a low shout, and the Passionate Sword in his hand spun. The Sword Light. He used the momentum of the collision to dodge to the side, and his giant fist fell, scraping against his robes, and smashed the ice beneath his feet!

Amidst the flying ice shards, Li Qingshan had already risen into the air, yet the silver sword threads behind him remained unbroken.

"Everyone's here? That's perfect timing."

He glanced at Ice Empress and Titan Snow Demon King, then looked back at Snow Empress.

"Ice Empress, be careful of his sword!" Snow Empress forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and warned, "His Soul Skill can disrupt the mind and control emotions!"

Upon hearing this, Ice Empress paused slightly in his forward momentum.

Snow Empress remained fixed on Li Qingshan, her voice filled with coldness, "You dare to call yourself the Golden Dragon King with just a Sword Martial Soul! Today, the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North are gathered here, and even if Di Tian were here, we would not be afraid in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan laughed and said:

"This sword is merely the Martial Soul I awakened after reincarnating as a human. Do you really think I only know the methods of these human Soul Masters?"

As he spoke, the golden scales on his left hand slowly lit up, and a sharp golden light emanated from between his five fingers.

Ice Empress raised his giant claw, about to strike again, when Li Qingshan continued, "Since you don't believe me, then I won't use my Martial Soul or Soul Skills."

He gazed at the Snow Empress, his voice carrying clearly throughout the Far North.

"If I can defeat the three of you together today using only the methods of Soul Beast... then you will become my disciple, how about it?"
