Chapter 429: Chapter 426: Blood-Stained Ice Armor

The monster’s voice was grim and terrifying, its words dripping with contempt for Feng Hao and the others.

As its demonic body twisted, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. Surging Demonic Qi gathered into a shockwave, instantly blasting everyone away. Then, it began taking slow, arduous steps toward Bai Yin.

"Excellent! It’s still being suppressed by the Golden Longsword! We still have a chance!" Xie Kuangfeng roared, scrambling to his feet in a sorry state.

Although the others were badly injured, they too saw a glimmer of hope. At the monster’s current speed, it would take a very long time for it to crawl to the foot of the Genetic Tree.

Feng Hao glanced down at Xi Yueyao in his arms. After confirming she was unharmed, he charged the monster once more.

This time, he directly used the mysterious syringe Lu Wen Jie had given him, jabbing the monster a few times.

It turned out the special silver needles inside were highly effective. After being pricked, the monster’s once-overwhelming aura began to rapidly weaken, just like the monster’s decoy body from before.

"Damn you, human! What have you done to me?!" Feeling its own weakness, the monster roared and charged furiously at Feng Hao.

Feng Hao had anticipated this. He instantly activated Shadow Strike to evade the attack, then glanced down at the syringe in his hand, inwardly astonished. ’This thing is the perfect counter to these monsters. I have to ask Lu Wen Jie about it later.’

Just as he was pondering this, Xiyue Frost’s shriek suddenly rang out. "Yaoyao—!"

Feng Hao instinctively turned to look, his face instantly turning deathly pale. The monster’s giant claw was swiping toward Xi Yueyao.

’Dammit!’ Feng Hao cursed under his breath and rushed to the rescue, but he was too late. "Hey, don’t just stand there! Activate your ice sculpture state!"

Hearing Feng Hao’s shout, Xi Yueyao reacted instantly. A burst of contained frosty air erupted, and her entire body transformed into a crystalline ice sculpture.

BOOM!

The next moment, the monster’s giant claw slammed down. The ground cracked and splintered, but Xi Yueyao was completely unharmed.

The monster clearly hadn’t expected Xi Yueyao’s ice sculpture to block its attack. Just as it was about to strike again, it saw Feng Hao speeding over and immediately switched targets, lunging for him instead.

"Damn you, human whelp! What in the world did you do to me?"

"You want to know? Come and get me if you’ve got the guts!" Feng Hao taunted coldly. His [Poisonous Chain] shot out, wrapping around a protrusion on the monster’s back. He used the momentum to swing into the air, tangling with the monster like he was on a swing set.

At the same time, Xiyue Frost, Mei Meimei, and the others launched another assault on the monster.

Weakened by the silver needles, the monster was no longer as formidable as before. Thus, under everyone’s combined siege, it was starting to have a hard time.

Of course, a hard time was just a hard time. With its immense power, even weakened, it was not something this group of fourth and Fifth-rank Mages could truly stand against!

"All of you, die—!"

The monster roared. A grayish-black qi howled out like a gale, finally coalescing into dozens of black tornadoes that swirled around it.

Facing the deadly grind of the black whirlwinds, the academy members suffered heavy casualties.

Even Feng Hao was grazed by a black whirlwind, losing over 70,000 Qi Blood in an instant. Luckily, he reacted quickly, yanking on his Poisonous Chain to escape the encirclement.

"Xiao San’Er, burn it to a crisp!" After escaping the danger, Feng Hao quickly swallowed a few Blood Recovery Pills and ordered Three-second Fire to attack.

At a time like this, Three-second Fire didn’t dare be careless either, directly imbuing its flames onto the Su Mu Dagger.

The next moment, along with a combo from Feng Hao, black energy and brilliant flames intertwined, dealing immense damage.

Of course, this bit of damage was like a tickle to the monster. The only truly effective thing was the life force-draining effect of the [Instant Death] Demon Pattern.

Sensing the drain on its life force, the monster grew even more furious and began to frantically attack Feng Hao...

Meanwhile, outside the Five-Colored Sword Array, the teams from the War and Magic Alliance and the Ghost Realm arrived late. Judging by their numbers, they had clearly suffered significant losses in the previous palace.

"This is bad! The situation is worse than we thought! Hurry and support them!" Hu Xun’s expression changed, and he hastily led the members of the Ghost Realm into the Five-Colored Sword Array.

On the War and Magic Alliance’s side, Beixing Ran’s expression flickered with uncertainty as she gazed at the crisis within the seal.

The previous palace had contained the inheritance of a powerful expert slain by Sun Sword Saint years ago, and she had been the one to obtain it.

Although receiving the inheritance had greatly increased her strength, she still felt a sense of dread when facing the terrifying monster.

"Junior Sister, don’t hesitate!" the leading War and Magic Alliance disciple said grimly. "If that monster breaks the seal, everyone will die."

Hearing this, Beixing Ran hesitated no longer and charged toward the monster within the seal along with the others.

Not long after the Ghost Realm and the War and Magic Alliance went in, people from the other three great sects also rushed out of the ruined palace. Their numbers had been cut by more than half, leaving only the stronger disciples.

Most importantly, the ruined palace did not contain the Black Light Sword Saint’s inheritance, but rather an inheritance lost by the Thousand Blades Valley long ago.

This left the Holy Hall and the Academy Union wanting to cry but having no tears. They had struggled for half a day and lost many elite disciples, only to find that the Thousand Blades Valley had taken all the inheritances.

Each of the six surviving disciples from Thousand Blades Valley had obtained a lost inheritance, and Yu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Chen were among them.

"Dammit, has the monster already broken the seal?" The members of the three sects’ faces changed drastically as they watched the chaotic battle within the Five-Colored Array.

Yu Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed in thought. "No, it shouldn’t have broken free completely yet. We still have a chance!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and help them!" the leading knight from the Holy Hall cursed under his breath, immediately leading his fellow knights into the fray.

Seeing this, the other two sects followed suit...

Inside the Five-Colored Sword Array, the situation had become exceptionally chaotic. Even with the timely arrival of reinforcements from the five great sects, they still couldn’t hold back the monster.

Under the monster’s furious assault, the disciples of the great sects suffered devastating losses.

Fortunately, with the five great sects joining the fight, the monster was completely tied down, buying a significant amount of time for Bai Yin’s awakening.

Facing the focused fire of the crowd, the monster vented all its fury on Feng Hao. In its eyes, if it weren’t for Feng Hao’s weakening silver needles, it could have easily slaughtered this bunch of ants.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Enraged, the monster became even more frenzied. One by one, the elite fighters were sent flying. Some died, others were grievously wounded.

In the end, only Feng Hao was left, zipping around the monster with the help of his [Poisonous Chain].

"Human whelp, your time has come!" After clearing out the others, the monster launched its final attack on Feng Hao.

Countless black tentacles suddenly erupted from around the monster, closing in on Feng Hao from all directions.

At this point, everyone else had lost the ability to fight. Some were dead, others unconscious. Only Xi Yueyao remained standing, thanks to her ice sculpture state.

Watching Feng Hao get engulfed by the black tentacles, Xi Yueyao, still in her ice sculpture state, let out a cry of anguish as heartbreaking as a cuckoo weeping blood. Immediately after, a strange energy burst forth from her body.

The once-crystalline ice sculpture began to crack and shatter. Crimson blood flowed from the fissures, dyeing the ice a bloody red. The mix of broken ice and blood created a tragically beautiful silhouette, like a suit of shattered Ice Crystal Armor.

The next moment, Xi Yueyao, who should have been immobile in her ice sculpture state, instantly shot toward the tentacle-wrapped Feng Hao.
