"Enemies approaching from the left!"
"Cover the front! Frost Giant Battle Formation!"
"No! Senior Apprentice Brother!"
"I will avenge Junior Apprentice Sister!"
Shouts could be heard from all directions as the Frostguard Pavilion was turned into a chaotic battle.
This could be considered the front hall of the Frost Guards a prestigious venue where guests were hosted and grand ceremonies were held in the past.
But now, blood stained the grand banners on the walls while corpses littered the ground. What was originally a place of great prestige had descended into a scene of pure carnage.
"Be careful, Young Lady Nanlan! It is dangerous here!" soone called out anxiously when he saw Nanlan Qianxue get near.
"Young Lady Nanlan, please stay behind and leave things to us!" another added.
As they spoke, these martial artists instinctively stepped forward to position themselves between Nanlan Qianxue and the line of battle, using their bodies as a shield to keep her in a safe spot.
The mbers of the Frost Guards were all infinitely grateful towards Lu Tianzi for saving the Piercing Wind Overlord. Initially, they were rely respectful towards Nanlan Qianxue as the female companion of Lu Tianzi. But as ti passed, they slowly found themselves growing fonder of this beautiful young lady who had surprised everyone with her talent in talisman making, especially since she made it a point to teach them so tips from ti to ti.
Now that they were in a real battle of life and death, they naturally felt the need to protect her in return.
Seeing this, Nanlan Qianxue could not help but frown in irritation.
If she was here only to be protected by the others, then wouldn't she just be a burden to the group?
That was exactly what she hated the most!
"I can fight as well!" Nanlan Qianxue exclaid in a frustrated manner before forcibly making her way past them.
"Young Lady Nanlan!" the mbers of the Frost Guards positioned around her called out in shock.
However, their shock quickly turned into surprise when Nanlan Qianxue started engaging the enemy.
As a Second Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist, Nanlan Qianxue's cultivation level was considered one of the lowest among those present. That was also the reason why her comrades had been worried about her safety.
But her disadvantage in terms of cultivation level did not hinder her from making a huge impact the mont she made her move.
Countless talismans flew out as though they were re common pebbles by the road, raining down upon an area where their opponents were congregated.
Beautiful ice lotuses blood wherever these talismans landed, each of them emitting an aura of frost that perated the air.
Despite its large area of effect, many of the talismans did not hit an actual target. No matter what, the enemies comprised mainly of martial artists at the Origin Core realm. Most of them noticed the talismans coming their way, and took the necessary evasive asures.
Still, that did not matter too much.
Just as both allies and enemies alike were wondering what these ice lotuses were, every single flower suddenly shattered simultaneously, the countless shattered fragnts turning into a gigantic cloud of frozen mist that covered a huge area of the battle.
Anyone who ca into contact with the frozen mist felt their movents slow, as if the cold mist had perated into their body and bound their joints with invisible shackles of ice. Icicles of energy ford on any surface the mist ca into contact with, their roots biting into the surface like knives.
"Stop right there!"
Unwilling to see things continue, a few mbers of the enemy rushed out from the backlines and charged straight towards Nanlan Qianxue, determined to stop her antiques.
There were around five of them, all of them with cultivation levels higher than Nanlan Qianxue, and yet she showed no signs of fear.
With a flick of her wrist, the Frost Jade Sword appeared in her hands.
Instead of retreating into the safety of her comrades, Nanlan Qianxue stepped forward with a determined light in her eyes.
On the Frost Jade Sword, an inscription symbol lit up with an intense glow.
Nanlan Qianxue slashed out, and a wave of frost energy erupted forth from her sword. This wave of energy contained countless tiny frozen shards within, each of them acting like small blades that threatened to stab into anyone who got caught in the energy wave.
The True Glacier Inscription was an inscription that Lu Tianzi had placed on the Frost Jade Sword recently, and it was one with an inscription skill Glacier Wave.
The enemies charging towards Nanlan Qianxue imdiately frowned, choosing to take evasive manoeuvres instead of continuing their approach.
Due to the jade pendant hanging on her neck, none of her enemies at the Origin Core realm was able to accurately deduce Nanlan Qianxue's cultivation level. While they could estimate her combat capabilities from the aura that she was emitting, her confidence in standing her ground made them second-guess their deduction.
Due to that, they could not help but feel more wary about engaging her in a frontal battle.
On top of that, there was also another reason why they were hesitant to commit onto her.
Behind Nanlan Qianxue, a huge shadow appeared.
Screech-!
The mont it sensed enemies approaching Nanlan Qianxue, the Pure Snow Serpent King launched its signature sound attack.
"It's the Pure Snow Serpent King!"
"Block it!"
Those from their enemy camp were no strangers to the Pure Snow Serpent King, and imdiately took the necessary asures to defend against the sound attack. However, there was one thing that they did not expect the current Pure Snow Serpent King was no longer the sa as the one they rembered.
This ti, the propagation of the sound waves was multiple tis stronger than what it was originally capable of, catching many of the enemies by surprise and wrecking their lines as a result.
Yet even with its boosted strength, the Pure Snow Serpent King alone was not enough to suppress the enemy forces.
"It's just a beast! Leave it to !"
Seeing that the Pure Snow Serpent King had joined the battle, the Ninth Cycle Origin Core realm martial artists in the opposing camp finally made their move as well. Attacks flew in from all over, matching the sound attack from the Pure Snow Serpent King and easily keeping it in check.
Apart from Nanshen Qin and Elder Chang, there were many other experts within the Frost Guards who were more than capable of handling the Pure Snow Serpent King.
And now that the Pure Snow Serpent King was kept busy, the other martial artists were free to attack Nanlan Qianxue once more.
Three martial artists at the Third Cycle Origin Core realm imdiately made their move, pouncing upon Nanlan Qianxue like she was at for the taking.
With her lower cultivation level, Nanlan Qianxue was imdiately forced onto the defensive despite the improvent to her weapon.
While her comrades wanted to co to her aid, they themselves were caught off guard by the sudden onslaught of the enemy and were forced to adopt a defensive position.
Thankfully, the Shifting Blossoms Sword Art allowed Nanlan Qianxue to hold on by continuously replenishing her essence energy. At the sa ti, she could also feel a steady stream of energy pouring into her from the depths of the mountain, bolstering her ability to hold her ground.
Yet even with all that, Nanlan Qianxue was slowly being pushed back.
No matter how quickly her reserves were being replenished, it remained a fact that she was currently facing multiple opponents at the sa ti.
Nanlan Qianxue gritted her teeth in frustration.
She might be facing three opponents at the sa ti, and her opponents also possessed a higher cultivation level than herself. But ultimately, they were only one boundary higher.
Against opponents like these, Nanlan Qianxue would not even be satisfied with just holding her ground, not to ntion being pushed back.
She had seen with her own two eyes how Lu Tianzi defeated opponents multiple boundaries above him. While she was not hoping to be able to accomplish as much, Nanlan Qianxue at least wanted to be able to stand her ground against opponents like those before her.
That was, especially now that she had a new card in her arsenal, given to her by Lu Tianzi.
Nanlan Qianxue relied on the force of an opponent's strike to leap backwards, temporarily creating a short distance between herself and her opponents. And by doing so, she bought herself the ti to channel her origin force into the treasure bracelet on her wrist.
Firestar Bracelet an Overlord rank treasure that Lu Tianzi had obtained as a reward from the Inscription et.
World origin energy in the surroundings gathered upon her as she activated the treasure bracelet, and a blinding light burst forth from she who specialised in ice elent techniques.
"Damn it! Dodge it!"
Her opponents who were closing in on her instantly shouted in horror as they felt the power of the Overlord rank treasure, all of them scampering to evade the burst of flas.
***
Elder Chang could not believe what he was seeing right now.
If not for the pressure bearing down upon him, he would even have thought that he had fallen for the opponent's illusion technique.
But no, that was clearly not the case.
Sohow, his opponent was actually able to channel origin force born from both slaughter essence and spiritual essence!
What kind of trickery was this?
Even with his long years of experience, this was a situation that he had never encountered in his life!
In Elder Chang's eyes, the figure of Lu Tianzi suddenly appeared to be much larger than it really was.
Unlike his opponent, Lu Tianzi showed absolutely no sign of distress.
The nurous blades around him acted like additional limbs as they worked together to hold Elder Chang back. At so point, the two illusory green vortices behind Lu Tianzi had beco more distinct, further increasing the pressure on Elder Chang.
Hanging on Lu Tianzi's neck, a pendant burst forth with lights of nine different colours, the Law of Fire apparent within each individual stream of light.
This was the Nine Flas Pendant.
Just like the Firestar Bracelet in Nanlan Qianxue's possession, this was an Overlord rank treasure that Lu Tianzi had obtained from his victory at the Inscription et. And now, it was finally making its first appearance in an actual battle.
Since this world isolated their presence from anyone outside, there was no longer a need for Lu Tianzi to hide his cultivation of the Spiritual Essence system. The only limitation left being that he must never allow Elder Chang to leave this place alive.
That was not too much to ask, considering the fact that the other party had delivered himself right into Lu Tianzi's arms.
Confident of his own abilities and his current state of being encased within the red sphere of energy, Elder Chang had rushed towards Lu Tianzi in an attempt to crush him against the edge of this world. But now, Elder Chang was about to realised that it was a fatal mistake on his part.
"I have no intention of wasting ti with an insect like you," Lu Tianzi said emotionlessly.
With a single thought, nine streams of flas escaped the container that was the Nine Flas Pendant at a spectacular speed. And with the close proximity between Lu Tianzi and Elder Chang right now, there was simply no ti for Elder Chang to even react.
Rumble-!
The nine streams of flas were like hungry serpents as they directly pierced through Elder Chang, creating nine distinct holes in his body as they passed without any signs of impedint.
