"The look in Phoenix Sister's eyes..."
Yinyang Wan'Er noticed the fear in Ice Phoenix's eyes.
This was the first time Yinyang Wan'Er saw Ice Phoenix's fearful gaze since knowing her.
The more Yinyang Wan'Er watched, the more worried she became, anxiously turning to Gu Chenfeng and asking, "Brother Feng, Phoenix Sister is scared, what should we do? Who among us can rival the Demon Monarch?"
The Giant Ape shook his head and said, "The power of the Demon Monarch exceeds our imagination; even with the four beasts and those two giant pythons, we're no match for him."
"So many Half-Immortal powerhouses, yet they can't oppose the Demon Monarch?" Yinyang Wan'Er was dumbfounded.
"No match." The Fire Qilin shook his head and said, "And the Demon Monarch hasn't even used his true strength yet."
"Don't worry Wan'Er, everything will be fine." Gu Chenfeng smiled softly, giving Yinyang Wan'Er a reassuring glance.
He looked at the terrified Ice Phoenix and conveyed, "Ice Phoenix, the Demon Monarch's cultivation is nearing Ascension; his realm is far higher than yours and he possesses Wind Attribute Spiritual Power. It's normal for you not to be able to oppose him, don't dwell on it."
"Suppress your inner fear; when you break through the Late Stage of Half-Immortal, with the Spirit Communication Jade's support, you'll slaughter him like a dog. Then you'll know the Demon Monarch is nothing."
Upon hearing Gu Chenfeng's voice transmission, the fear-stricken Ice Phoenix suddenly woke up.
Ice Phoenix took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her inner fear, and thanked in transmission, "Thank you, Master."
Gu Chenfeng conveyed, "Overcome fear, discard all distractions; just focus on fighting, it will greatly help you break through the Middle Stage of Half-Immortal. Don't worry about the consequences, I've got it all."
"Yes, Master!" Ice Phoenix transmitted respectfully, her beautiful eyes gradually shed fear, replaced by determination and confidence.
Ice Phoenix, a warrior who had survived countless life-and-death situations, momentary fear and helplessness were not enough to make her lose her fighting spirit entirely.
However.
Ice Phoenix was heavily injured, her aura significantly weak, making it impossible for her to contend with the Demon Monarch.
"Whoosh!"
The Demon Monarch darted over, gazing at Ice Phoenix, a proud smile on his face.
"Ice Phoenix, aren't you planning to submit to me?" The Demon Monarch smiled faintly, "You're not my match, and I intend to take you away; no one can stop me."
Ice Phoenix brandished her sword at the Demon Monarch, coolly saying, "As long as I'm not dead, I will do whatever it takes to kill you."
At this,
A vicious gleam appeared in the Demon Monarch's eyes, and he said coldly, "Then I'll make you suffer some more to see if you truly prefer to die than to submit."
"Over the years, anyone I wanted to submit had to submit. There has been no one I couldn't conquer; if there was, they'd be a lost soul."
As the words fell,
The Demon Monarch suddenly vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, moving even faster than before.
The Demon Monarch wielded formidable Wind Attribute, granting him absolute speed advantage.
As the Demon Monarch acted, Ice Phoenix suddenly shouted coldly, "Freeze for thousands of miles!"
The terrifying Ice Attribute Power instantly spread tens of thousands of feet afar, solidifying into a colossal glacier wherever it touched.
Far slower than the Demon Monarch, Ice Phoenix could only rely on this Technique to pinpoint the Demon Monarch's location.
"Ice Attribute certainly can determine the opponent's position, but the Demon Monarch's speed exceeds your imagination." The Demon Monarch's laughter suddenly came from behind Ice Phoenix.
"I've been waiting for this!" Ice Phoenix said chillingly, turning around to sweep her sword.
As the sword was released, the Ancient Immortal Sword cleverly sliced a finger, instantly absorbing a drop of Essence Blood.
"Ice God Sword!" Ice Phoenix coldly shouted thereafter.
The frightening Ice Attribute Sword Aura within the Ancient Immortal Sword, supported by the Spirit Communication Jade, instantly tripled its Attack Power.
Combined with the Essence Blood's power, this streak of Sword Aura instantly broke through the Late Stage of Half-Immortal level, carrying a destructive force towards the Demon Monarch behind, a domineering assault.
The expansive glacier tens of thousands of feet wide also crumbled under Ice Phoenix's terrifying power.
"Essence Blood? You really don't hold back." The Demon Monarch remarked unexpectedly, "But the power of this sword strike is indeed formidable."
The Demon Monarch did not expect Ice Phoenix to dare use Essence Blood of the Half-Immortal Realm.
Essence Blood in the Half-Immortal realm carried an extremely terrifying power, and its depletion severely affected one's cultivation.
Of course, Ice Phoenix knew this well.
Yet, in extraordinary circumstances, Ice Phoenix cared none for it.
"Boom!"
"Buzz buzz!"
The sword strike fiercely hit the Demon Monarch, and the Ice Attribute Sword Aura erupted mightily, with an unparalleled blast of energy sending the Demon Monarch flying.
The terrifying blast energy spread to a hundred thousand feet away in the blink of an eye, causing the space to shake and collapse.
The power of Ice Phoenix's sword strike was truly terrifying.
But even so, Ice Phoenix did not feel joy.
Gu Chenfeng and other observing powerhouses still bore solemn expressions.
Because they all knew, Ice Phoenix's sword was unlikely to defeat the Demon Monarch.
Not even certain it could hurt the Demon Monarch, remains undetermined.
Right then,
The recklessly expanding terrifying blast energy was suddenly devoured by an unimaginable terrible suction force, like time reversal; the expanding blast swiftly contracted back.
When the crowd saw clearly, each of their eyes widened.
The terrifying blast energy ultimately retracted into the Demon Monarch's palm.
This horrifying scene shocked everyone present into immobility, faces filled with strong astonishment and dread.
Such terrifying blast energy being forcibly absorbed by the Demon Monarch, unaffected in the least.
How formidable is this power?
Gazing at the equally shocked Ice Phoenix, the Demon Monarch smiled faintly, "Ice Phoenix, I'll offer you another chance to submit to me..."
The Demon Monarch's words were cut short.
Ice Phoenix refused without hesitation, "I said, as long as I'm alive, I'll kill you..."
In an instant.
The Demon Monarch darted forth, Sword Point aimed directly at Ice Phoenix's glabella, moving faster than Ice Phoenix's reflexes.
Ice Phoenix's beautiful eyes widened to the extreme, her body pinned down, unable to budge.
"Boom!"
The Demon Monarch shifted the Sword Point's attack, and a terrifying Wind Attribute light beam shot out, blasting a ten thousand feet massive trench, with no end in sight.
The scene was extremely grand, possessing immense visual impact.
Anyone seeing it would be scared out of their wits.
Looking at the stunned Ice Phoenix, the Demon Monarch coldly said, "Ice Phoenix, I can kill you as easily as crushing an ant; I have killed many who've defied submission, yet I can't bring myself to harm you."
"The Demon Monarch is willing to give you another chance to submit; if you refuse again, the Medicine God Hall and the entire Demon God Race will perish. Do not doubt my words."
Ice Phoenix's body trembled; could she dare refuse?
But just then.
An elderly, dignified voice rang out, "Today, none shall be harmed."
