To achieve this, the most important person is actually Shui Yue'er on the ground.
Although she was not with Shui Bing'er at the moment, she played the most crucial role. It was because Shui Yue'er fully shouldered the pressure of transmitting energy that Shui Bing'er had enough energy to control the Ice Phoenix.
A magnificent blue Phoenix descended from the sky, utterly serene, its bright eyes fixed on Qi Ling on the ground without a moment's distraction.
"This is troublesome." Cold sweat dripped down Qi Ling's forehead. The perfect teamwork of the seven opponents had given this Ice Phoenix strength approaching that of Soul Douluo, making it arguably the strongest enemy Qi Ling had ever faced!
Just then, the Ice Phoenix in the sky suddenly opened its mouth, and a stream of cold air shot out, directly attacking Qi Ling.
Qi Ling dared not be careless and hurriedly dodged to the side, but her left shoulder was still grazed, and a layer of ice crystals immediately covered it, with a biting cold seeping into her golden armor.
This was the first time that even the Golden Sacred Dragon Armor couldn't completely defend against the opponent's attack, which undoubtedly showed that the Ice Phoenix's strength had reached a level that it could no longer withstand.
Having gained the upper hand, Shui Bing'er immediately began to pursue, the Ice Phoenix continuously spewing out icy streams from the sky, chasing after Qi Ling Qi Ling, who could only dodge helplessly for a time.
As waves of cold air shot out, Qi Ling had already exhausted all her strength just by dodging them, let alone retaliating.
Just then, Qi Ling dodged an attack and was about to move when she found that her feet were frozen in place.
He looked down and saw that the cold front had just swept through, leaving a layer of ice. His feet had landed on it and were instantly frozen in place.
It was at this moment, taking advantage of Qi Ling's inability to move, that the Ice Phoenix in the air immediately aimed its beak at him, about to unleash a blast of cold air.
If Qi Ling were hit by this cold current, he would be doomed. So he used the Divine Power of the Earth to shatter the solid ice beneath his feet and escaped the Ice Phoenix's attack at the last moment.
Even so, there wasn't much room left for Qi Ling to move around on the ground. If she stepped on any frozen ground, she would be frostbitten and vulnerable to attacks from the Ice Phoenix.
Even though Qi Ling can escape using the Divine Power of the Earth every time, he cannot afford to make a mistake, because if he does, he will most likely turn into an ice sculpture.
Seeing the situation before her, Qi Ling wasn't nervous at all; instead, she showed an expression of enjoyment.
How long has it been since I've been forced into this situation? It seems I've really been lonely for too long; in this predicament, my first thought is actually to enjoy it.
"But this can't go on forever, I don't want to turn into an ice sculpture!" Qi Ling said helplessly.
Immediately, Qi Ling took a deep breath and began to blow air around her, as if trying to melt the ice on the ground.
Melting so much ice just by blowing on it? That's a pipe dream, but Qi Ling did it! Because while blowing on it, he also used a skill.
True Dragon Secret Technique: Scorching Flame Dragon Breath!
This secret technique, which can only be used by those who have cultivated the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Art, played a huge role at this moment, not only sweeping away the ice surface on the field, but even making the Ice Phoenix show an uncomfortable expression.
As for Shui Bing'er, who was inside the Ice Phoenix, she frowned. How could Qi Ling be so difficult to deal with? Every time she felt that she had been driven into a corner, he could easily resolve the situation. It was as if she could never see his limit.
Now that things had come to this, Shui Bing'er dared not delay any longer. Although they had the Soul Power of seven people to support them, the Soul Power consumption of the Ice Phoenix was unimaginable, and it was impossible for them to fight for a long time.
Having made up her mind, Shui Bing'er no longer delayed. After letting out a phoenix cry, she flapped the wings of the Ice Phoenix, creating twenty-four ice spikes in the air.
With another flap of its wings, the twenty-four ice spikes shot towards Qi Ling at full speed. Their threatening quality made Qi Ling dare not block them head-on, so she had no choice but to dodge them one by one.
"It's done!" Seeing that Qi Ling had dodged all the ice spikes just as she had expected, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but cheer in her heart.
Later, Qi Ling learned the reason. She saw that after the ice spikes hit the ground, they did not melt. Instead, after all twenty-four ice spikes were fired, they suddenly formed ice pillars that trapped Qi Ling inside.
"Not good!" Qi Ling thought to himself that something was wrong. He was about to escape from the sky, but Shui Bing'er, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately forced him back with a cold current.
At the same time, the twenty-four ice pillars began to converge towards the center. Qi Ling tried to break them, but it was all in vain.
Just as the twenty-four ice pillars trapped Qi Ling, the Ice Phoenix in the sky opened its mouth wide and began to gather power within. The icy blue light brought a chilling pressure, causing everyone's expression to change.
Once it was confirmed that Qi Ling could not escape, the Ice Phoenix launched its fiercest attack on Qi Ling. The blue icy current, like a cannonball, struck Qi Ling inside the ice pillar, causing a massive explosion that instantly formed an iceberg-like structure.
Looking at the enormous iceberg and feeling the intense cold emanating from it, everyone was shocked by the formidable strength of the Skywater Academy, while also worrying about Qi Ling.
Is Qi Ling's undefeated streak truly coming to an end?
Shui Bing'er was also keeping an eye on the iceberg, and only felt relieved after confirming that Qi Ling had no reaction.
But just as Shui Bing'er was about to end the battle, exclamations came from the audience, because they noticed that a strange black energy was spreading from the bottom of the iceberg, gradually turning it black bit by bit.
Upon seeing this black energy, Shui Bing'er was horrified, because accompanied by a terrifying and eerie aura, Qi Ling's presence was gradually intensifying.
Finally, when the entire iceberg was stained black, it suddenly exploded, sending countless ice shards flying in all directions, some even hitting the audience stands.
The eerie blackness did not disappear with the explosion of the iceberg. Instead, it seemed to come alive, reforming on the ground and gradually forming a gigantic monster with Heavenly Flames surging around its body and an eerie expression.
Upon seeing this figure, Shui Bing'er's eyes narrowed, while the audience suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers, because this was the form Qi Ling had displayed on the first day— the Blood Devil Slays Heaven form!
Indeed, Qi Ling once again unleashed the Fourth Soul Skill of the Blood Devil Emperor Martial Soul: Blood Devil Slays Heaven. The ability to corrupt the iceberg he had just witnessed was also a newly discovered ability called "Devour."
As a creature most obsessed with eating, how could the Soul Ring that Tyrannical Savage gave to Qi Ling be unrelated to food? Therefore, he could devour anything formed from energy, including this iceberg that was originally created by Shui Bing'er.
