Lei Yuxiao proposed that the Ascenders take turns fighting the Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix.
I thought the other party would back down.
Unexpectedly, the Evil Avatar agreed without any hesitation.
Lei Yuxiao glanced at the confident and Evil Avatar, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
Why such confidence?
Could it be that Lin Heng's clone can actually handle even a mature Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm ferocious beast?
'Gurgle!'
The mere thought sent a chill down Lei Yuxiao's spine, and his throat involuntarily tightened.
If Lei Yuxiao could still find some solace in the fact that he had previously killed the Crimson Flame Golden Ni Beast with his Evil Avatar, then he could find some consolation in his actions.
After all, everyone present joined forces at the time, and when the Crimson Flame Golden Ni Beast went berserk in pursuit, they inflicted considerable damage on it.
We can assume that the Evil Avatar dealt it a fatal blow.
But now he has to fight the Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix, which is even stronger than the Crimson Flame Golden Ni Beast, all by himself.
If the Evil Avatar were to actually kill him again, Lei Yuxiao dared not think any further.
Lin Heng's clone is currently only at the Primordial Chaos Heaven Stage, yet it is already able to transcend realms and kill beings at the Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm.
Once Lin Heng's clone breaks through to the Heavenly Firmament Realm, who among those of the same realm could be his opponent?
We must kill Lin Heng and destroy his clone within the ancient ruins.
Lei Yuxiao remembered his mission once again.
Moreover, he also received benefits from the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
Upon realizing this, Lei Yuxiao chuckled inwardly.
Since Lin Heng's clone wants to show off, why should I stop him? I'll just let him have his way.
Even if he could kill this Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix at the Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm, he would definitely be injured.
At worst, the treasures on the first few floors can be given to the Ascenders.
Wait until they are severely wounded at the later checkpoints, then seize the opportunity to kill them.
In this way, the treasure will still be yours, wouldn't that be wonderful?
A promise is a promise!
"We, the Eight Great Imperial Clans, will not interfere until all of you have made your move."
"But if you can't defeat this Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix, then you can no longer intervene."
Lei Yuxiao readily agreed.
Ling Wushuang and Evil Avatar nodded in agreement, reaching a tacit understanding.
Lei Yuxiao then led the people from the Eight Great Imperial Clans to retreat to the side.
Ling Wushuang casually created a soundproof barrier, enveloping Lin Heng and the others within it, and looked at the Evil Avatar with a puzzled expression.
"It's no easy task to fight the Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix at the Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm alone. Even I'm not 100% confident. You're taking too much of a risk."
The Evil Avatar remained silent, turning its gaze to Lin Heng, the true form.
At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Heng. Could it be that what the Evil Avatar said earlier was Lin Heng's intention?
Faced with the doubts raised by Ling Wushuang and the others, Lin Heng smiled and explained his thoughts.
"Joining forces would certainly reduce the risk."
"But we can see that from the previous battle against the Crimson Flame Golden Ni Beast."
"There are many problems with joining forces with the Eight Great Imperial Clans."
"The most important point is that they simply won't work together with us."
At this Lin Heng, everyone nodded in agreement.
Both sides were holding back, intending to deliver the final, fatal blow to the ferocious beast.
This is only natural; nobody wants to do the work for someone else's benefit.
However, if this continues, facing the Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix will definitely result in casualties, and they might even be framed by the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
This is what Lin Heng is truly worried about.
After Lin Heng's words, no one could refute him anymore.
Even if they join forces, they still have a chance to deliver a fatal blow to the ferocious beast and obtain the treasure chest.
But if you're not careful, you might lose your life, and that would truly be a losing proposition.
"Brother Lin Heng, I'll make the first move to help you ascertain the beast's true strength."
"You can take this opportunity to figure out how to deal with this Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix."
Ye Feng volunteered to be the guinea pig.
This is also what Lin Heng wanted.
Some went to test the strength of the Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix, allowing the Evil Avatar to better identify its weaknesses.
If one fights head-on in every match, Evil Avatar is severely injured, then the losses outweigh the gains.
Of course, Lin Heng wouldn't let them be guinea pigs for nothing.
"Then thank you very much, Brother Ye Feng."
"Regardless of whether we obtain the treasure chest in this battle, I am willing to offer a rare, ancient herb as a token of my gratitude."
Ye Feng was secretly delighted upon hearing this; he was betting on Lin Heng's sense of justice.
Clearly, he made the right bet.
The people around him now understood Ye Feng's intentions.
Based on the strength of the ferocious beast Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, it's estimated that only Lin Heng's clone, Ling Wushuang, and Lei Yuxiao have a chance to seize the treasure.
Of the three, two are on our side, giving us a greater chance of winning the treasure.
Since I can't get the treasure chest anyway, I might as well let Lin Heng and Ling Wushuang have it.
Even if you can't get the good stuff from the treasure chest, being a guinea pig will at least give you some compensation.
Million-year-old herb?
This is a pretty good result for them.
With Ye Feng taking the lead, the others naturally understood what to do next.
At this moment, Ling Wushuang also spoke up, saying, "If any other brothers are willing to give it a try later, I am also willing to offer a rare, thousand-year-old spiritual herb as compensation."
With this promise, the others felt relieved.
Even if I didn't get any treasure chests after entering the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, getting some ancient spiritual herbs would still make the trip worthwhile.
Besides...
The treasure in the chest might have to be handed over after you leave.
Once you get your hands on a spiritual herb, it's yours to keep.
After calming the others down, Ling Wushuang then looked at Lin Heng's Evil Avatar.
Who will go first in this battle?
Upon hearing this, the Evil Avatar shrugged.
"Then please go first, Brother Ling."
Since the other party is asking, why argue?
Furthermore, the Evil Avatar didn't believe that Ling Wushuang could defeat the Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix.
Even with Ye Feng as his guinea pig to test him.
There's also the Heavenly Yang Chainmail obtained from the previous level for protection.
A mature Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm ferocious beast is not so easy to defeat.
Ling Wushuang didn't stand on ceremony, smiling and nodding, "Thank you."
While the two were talking, Ye Feng stepped forward.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans were slightly surprised to see Ye Feng emerge.
"They want Ye Feng and the others to wear them down first."
"Then Lin Heng's clone or Ling Wushuang will finish off the remaining enemies?"
Lei Yuxiao made a guess.
Yan Xishan nodded in agreement. "That should be the case. Ye Feng and the others don't have the strength to kill this Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm beast. If we let them weaken it first, then Lin Heng's clone or Ling Wushuang will have a much greater chance of making a move."
Jin Tianshuo then became worried. "Brother Yuxiao, do you think the Ascenders might have really killed the Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix?"
If the ascended person is killed, then that treasure chest will naturally belong to the Ascenders again.
Having already seen Jin Tianshuo, who had unearthed Second-Class Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasure on the previous level, how could he not be tempted?
Lei Yuxiao didn't give him a friendly look, glaring at him before questioning, "So, you're the one who's going first? Can you kill that Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Tianshuo dared not utter another word.
Go by yourself?
That's more like going to their deaths.
He still has that much self-awareness.
