Deep in the Western Region, at the foot of a scorching volcano in the Xilin Mountain Range.
Xiao Yan stared solemnly at the Leng Bingshuang before him, whose entire body was covered by a layer of solid ice, and felt extremely nervous.
He never expected that Leng Bingshuang would use such an extreme method to enhance her strength in order to deal with Qin Shuo. This move was practically tantamount to suicide!
After a brief examination, Xiao Yan clearly discovered that there was a small piece of ice crystal inside Leng Bingshuang's body, and the reason she was in this state was precisely because of that ice crystal.
That ice crystal was no ordinary ice; it was an Extreme Cold Ice Soul!
In order to gain enough power in a short time, Leng Bingshuang actually forcibly obtained a piece of Extreme Cold Ice Soul from beneath the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and swallowed it into her body, which led to the current situation.
An uncontrollable surge of chilling energy spread outwards, granting Leng Bingshuang overwhelming power in her battle against Qin Shuo. However, this same chilling energy was also rapidly affecting her internal organs and bones. Xiao Yan's investigation revealed that the ice had even covered most of Leng Bingshuang's internal organs, releasing extreme temperatures, and her life force was rapidly fading away...
Currently, the ice encasing Leng Bingshuang's body is not a problem, but the main issue is the Extreme Cold Ice Soul within her body. If the yin and cold power it contains is allowed to continue to spread, even with Leng Bingshuang's cultivation level, it will be difficult for her to survive.
Because of their injuries, Tian Ying and the others did not follow Xiao Yan into the cave. Therefore, at this moment, only Xiao Yan and Leng Bingshuang are at the bottom of the cave.
"Puff!"
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and pale blue flames burst forth, instantly covering the ice layer on Leng Bingshuang's body. Terrifyingly high temperatures were also released, and the originally solid ice layer melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye until Leng Bingshuang's delicate body was exposed to the air again, at which point the Heavenly Flames quietly dissipated.
Although the ice layer broke, it didn't solve the problem. Knowing this, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate. He then pointed two fingers at Leng Bingshuang's forehead, and a small flame ignited. The blue flame released a scorching heat that penetrated Leng Bingshuang cold. Afterward, Xiao Yan made several more moves, placing a flame on each of her limbs, before finally turning his gaze back to Leng Bingshuang's proud and beautiful body.
Looking at the beautiful body before him, Xiao Yan frowned, a troubled expression creeping onto his face. He knew this woman was not someone to be trifled with; she had almost killed him last time. If she came again this time, she probably wouldn't let him off so easily.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but grit his teeth and frown as he pondered. Now, even whether or not to save the person had become a major problem.
After a long while, seeing the Leng Bingshuang's delicate body, Xiao Yan finally made up his mind. Saving people was the most important thing, especially since Leng Bingshuang had once saved his life. Even though they had long since cleared each other's names, given Xiao Yan's character, it was truly impossible for him to stand by and watch her die.
"I'm sorry, I had to do this!"
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yan extended his right hand, curled his fingers, and then placed it on Leng Bingshuang's lower abdomen. Instantly, a refreshingly cold aura gushed out like a fountain, rushing straight into Xiao Yan's palm.
Feeling the sudden energy surge, Xiao Yan's expression changed instantly. With a thought, fierce flames suddenly surged out, covering his entire palm. Then, starting from the fingertips and the center of his palm, six streams of scorching energy flowed into Leng Bingshuang's body.
The six streams of energy rapidly spread to all the meridians in Leng Bingshuang's body, gradually eliminating the Yin-cold power distributed throughout her body at an astonishing speed, from small to large. Finally, they reached her internal organs. The entire process of expelling the Yin-cold power lasted for a full two hours.
Throughout the process, not only must the distribution and strength of the Yin-cold energy be considered, but also Leng Bingshuang's internal condition. After all, she still has injuries, and although she has been restored by fifth-grade pills, she may still suffer damage if she is not careful. In addition, since Leng Bingshuang's own attribute is ice, Xiao Yan needs to be even more careful when expelling the Yin-cold energy, otherwise he may injure Leng Bingshuang herself. If her cultivation is affected, even if she recovers, she will probably hate him to the bone.
Next up was that piece of Extreme Cold Ice Soul.
The Extreme Cold Ice Soul itself possesses extremely dense Yin and cold power. If that Yin and cold power is used properly, it will naturally become a miraculous medicine to help people improve their cultivation. However, if it cannot be controlled or is ingested in excess, it is very likely to become a weapon of killing. Leng Bingshuang has obviously ingested too much. With her current cultivation level, she is simply unable to refine it all.
The only way now is to disperse the yin and cold power contained in this Extreme Cold Ice Soul as much as possible, and then slowly refine it with Heavenly Flames. As for this process, it will probably be extremely long, but for Xiao Yan, this is undoubtedly the safest and most secure method.
Thinking it and doing it—given Leng Bingshuang's current situation, she didn't have many other options. Subsequently, Xiao Yan withdrew his palm, and at the same time, the icy power that had been sealed within Leng Bingshuang's body was released once again.
A strong, chilling aura quickly spread out, and the slight color that had returned to Leng Bingshuang's pretty face faded rapidly.
Then, Xiao Yan stretched out his hands and placed them flat on Leng Bingshuang's lower abdomen and below her neck, respectively. He released streams of scorching energy from his palms, which flowed into Leng Bingshuang's body and began to refine the yin and cold energy that was trying to spread further. He wanted to completely wear down the yin and cold power in the Extreme Cold Ice Soul through prolonged consumption.
However, this time, just as Xiao Yan was about to refine those Yin and cold powers, a strange suction force suddenly surged out from the Qi vortex within Leng Bingshuang Shuang's body. At the same time, the Yin and cold powers that were spreading outward from the Extreme Cold Ice Soul also suddenly seemed to be attracted by something, and uncontrollably rushed towards the center of the Qi vortex within Leng Bingshuang's body.
Almost simultaneously, her Leng Bingshuang body also rapidly cooled down, and her already fair skin appeared even more translucent. Noticing this, Xiao Yan quickly withdrew his hands, looked down at his two icy palms, and was immediately filled with shock.
Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan looked up and saw that an extremely cold aura was spreading outward from Leng Bingshuang's body, and the power within her Extreme Cold Ice Soul was being rapidly absorbed by her. Strange, icy blue lines appeared on Leng Bingshuang's arms. The moment Xiao Yan saw those lines, his expression changed drastically.
"This is... Extreme Yin Physique!"
