Chapter 4598: Help finally arrived
"Say your goodbyes; take this," King Immortal said to Nangong Xiang.
This would bring everything to an end.
"It’s impossible; I have no chance of dodging all of that." Nangong Xiang had no way to evade the onslaught.
She was trapped and unable to escape.
This was the end for her—a total defeat.
"I never expected to lose in a way like this." Nangong Xiang could hardly believe she would be defeated in such a manner.
She closed her eyes, ready to accept the incoming attack.
Even with all her current defenses active, survival was impossible; it was better to simply accept the strike heading her way.
"Boom..." An explosion rang out.
All the swords vanished.
Help had finally arrived; reinforcements had come to her aid.
"Sorry for the delay." The rescuers were the group led by Mu Nianci and Xia Qingyu.
They had arrived to assist, utilizing the power of ice.
Using their ice powers, they froze all the swords in place.
The swords halted in mid-air, unable to surge forward any longer.
Thanks to that, Nangong Xiang was saved.
"Thank you for coming to help," Nangong Xiang said.
With their arrival, the burden Nangong Xiang had to bear was significantly lightened.
"You all must be careful; he is an enemy and a formidable opponent," Nangong Xiang warned everyone.
The King Immortal was a difficult foe to face, so caution was essential.
"We understand." Mu Nianci and Xia Qingyu realized just how powerful the enemy before them was; they knew they could not afford to underestimate him, given his immense strength.
"You’re just a nuisance—die!" The King Immortal attacked with his full power.
He unleashed a barrage of attacks, aiming to wipe everyone out.
"This guy is a bit unhinged; be careful," Nangong Xiang said to Mu Nianci and Xia Qingyue.
"Understood." Both of them immediately grasped what Nangong Xiang meant; attacking in such a manner made it clear he was dead set on killing them.
What a troublesome fellow.
Mu Nianci finally unleashed her profound ice energy, creating a massive dome.
She withstood the onslaught with ease.
The sword was indeed powerful, yet it failed to pierce Mu Nianci’s defenses.
Mu Nianci’s ice was so hard that the sword became stuck, halting its momentum.
"I’ve stopped all his attacks; let’s strike," Mu Nianci said to Xia Qingyu.
Xia Qingyu launched an attack, attempting to close the distance.
Harnessing her ice powers, she tried to get within striking range to kill the King Immortal.
Xia Qingyu wielded a deadly ice sword; a single slash could inflict severe wounds and freeze the target solid.
"You are such a nuisance—get lost!" He used his own sword to parry Xia Qingyu’s attack.
Their swords clashed.
A loud explosion and a ringing sound instantly filled the air.
The clash was evenly matched, demonstrating that Xia Qingyu could hold her own against the King Immortal.
"Strong..." Xia Qingyu realized that the opponent before her was truly formidable and immensely powerful.
He had managed to withstand her attack—it was shocking to see him block a full-force strike with such ease.
"Damn it..." The King Immortal could not simply stand by and watch the situation unfold.
He could not afford to lose.
He unleashed the power of fire to defeat Xia Qingyu.
Since Xia Qingyu wielded ice powers, the only way to counter her was through the use of fire.
By employing fire-based abilities, her opponent put up a fierce fight against her.
"Ugh..." Xia Qingyu retreated; she realized that the opponent she was facing possessed dangerous fire powers capable of killing her. Recognizing this threat, she decided to fall back and maintain a safe distance.
"How many elements does he have?" Xia Qingyu asked Nangong Xiang.
"Five..." Nangong Xiang replied.
"He should be able to use light as well, but it doesn’t seem to be as refined as his other abilities, so he doesn’t use it," Nangong Xiang explained.
"Okay, I understand." Xia Qingyu grasped the situation immediately.
Now that she knew the nature of her opponent’s powers, she knew exactly what needed to be done.
"I’ll try to hold him off with my own powers; please do something to finish this," Xia Qingyu said to Mu Nianci.
She asked Mu Nianci to prepare a lethal attack to take down the Immortal King.
"Understood." Mu Nianci acknowledged the plan and began preparing a killing blow against the Immortal King.
"Ice Dragon Art." Mu Nianci unleashed the powerful Ice Dragon Art.
This was the strongest attack she could muster to defeat the Immortal King.
The problem was that Mu Nianci needed time to use it; the process wouldn’t be quick, so she required a window of opportunity.
That was where Xia Qingyu’s task came in: to buy time for Mu Nianci.
*Clang... clang... clang...* Xia Qingyu launched a flurry of attacks at incredible speed, combining rapid movement with lethal strikes.
She targeted the Immortal King’s heart and torso.
The Immortal King found himself somewhat overwhelmed while facing Xia Qingyu’s assault.
He struggled because her attacks were both unpredictable and deadly.
Moreover, Xia Qingyu deliberately aimed for his most vital points, such as the neck and heart.
"If only I could defeat him quickly, this might all end soon," Xia Qingyu hoped that one of her strikes would manage to kill the Immortal King.
Unfortunately, that was not to be; the Immortal King was far more agile than she had imagined, successfully dodging every attack she launched.
"Begone!" The Immortal King unleashed a storm of fire, attempting to drive Xia Qingyu away.
But Xia Qingyu was not easily repelled; she stayed right on him.
She harnessed the surrounding ice to begin constructing a prison wall around the Immortal King.
The ice in the vicinity converged, forming a cage to entrap him.
"This..." The Immortal King finally realized he was in a dire situation; he was trapped, with no apparent way to escape his current predicament.
"You will neither be able nor capable of escaping this place," Xia Qingyu said to the Immortal King, telling him that this was an impenetrable prison.
