Chapter 3226 Lesser Fullness (The Lair)
"Wait!" Hu Xiaoman said urgently, her voice tinged with anxiety, trying to stop him. "The Ten Thousand Year Yin Marrow is still on him!"
Zhou Wenlun's palm strike abruptly stopped. When he turned to look at her, the murderous intent surging in his eyes subsided slightly: "Where are you?"
"In the wooden box at his waist!"
Zhou Wenlun nodded, and the golden light in his palm suddenly surged, like a peerless sword breaking free from its restraints, carrying a fierce aura that could destroy the world, and accurately slashed at the wooden box at the Ice Demon's waist.
"Click——"
With a sharp, piercing sound, the ice box shattered, and a faint, luminous blue light suddenly bloomed—it was the ancient Yin Marrow!
Zhou Wenlun scooped it up with his backhand and firmly grasped it in his palm.
The golden light, still undiminished in its momentum, struck the Ice Demon's chest like a thunderbolt.
"what--!"
The Ice Demon let out a heart-wrenching scream as its massive body, like a kite with a broken string, was violently thrown away by the devastating golden light and crashed heavily onto the ice wall behind it.
"Boom!"
The deafening roar shook the entire ice cave violently, sending boulders tumbling down as if it would collapse completely at any moment.
Countless sharp icicles whistled down from the cave ceiling, piercing the ground with a whooshing sound, scattering ice shards everywhere, and the scene instantly descended into utter chaos.
The Ice Demon spat out dark brown blood, its scarlet eyes fixed on Zhou Wenlun, filled with boundless rage and resentment.
He knew this person was quite strong, but he never expected him to be this powerful—who exactly is this person?
The wooden box at his waist was already shattered into pieces, and the half of the ancient Yin marrow was now lying steadily in Zhou Wenlun's palm, shimmering with light.
The Ice Demon roared and struggled to his feet: "That's my ten-thousand-year-old Yin essence!"
Zhou Wenlun smirked: "Now they belong to me!"
Zhou Wenlun was unhappy at that moment!
He had intended to kill the ice demon in one move, but the ten-thousand-year-old Yin marrow had just saved his life.
At the same time, Hu Xiaoman activated the escape formation he had prepared beforehand without hesitation.
Golden runes suddenly lit up beneath her feet, and the intricate array spun rapidly, emitting rich and unstable spatial fluctuations.
The teleportation array that she had Xiaotaozi set up earlier was actually a teleportation array.
Just as the teleportation array was about to take shape, the violent tremors of the ice cave caused the ice surface to collapse, and a sharp shard of ice slammed into the core of the teleportation array.
The golden light flickered erratically, and the teleportation target suddenly shifted, no longer leading to the escape route outside the cave, but instead pointing deeper into the ice cave.
"Ah... wrong direction, wrong direction!" Hu Xiaoman shouted.
Zhou Wenlun's eyes sharpened; he sensed something was wrong almost the instant the formation shifted.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stretched out his long arm, firmly grasped Hu Xiaoman's wrist, and pulled him closer to him.
"Junior Sister!" Ning Shuang was terrified when she saw this.
Seeing that Hu Xiaoman and Zhou Wenlun were about to be swallowed by the distorted golden light curtain, she didn't have time to think and gritted her teeth to rush into the light curtain.
The light suddenly intensified, so bright that it was blinding, and the three figures vanished from their spot in an instant.
The violent spatial forces tore at their limbs like turbulent currents. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were violently thrown out and staggered as they crashed into an even colder ice cave.
"Ouch, my butt is all bruised and battered, waaaah..." Ning Shuang landed hard on her bottom, her delicate features instantly contorting into a grimace.
She braced herself on the ice with both hands, wincing in pain, and couldn't stand up for a long time. She felt as if her buttocks had been split in two!
She simply gave up on getting up, immediately circulated her spiritual energy, and a faint spiritual light emanated from her palm, causing a white porcelain bottle to appear out of thin air.
She poured out a pill that exuded a rich spiritual energy, tilted her head back, and swallowed it.
The warmth instantly spread to the tailbone, and the pain suddenly lessened.
The small fracture in his coccyx from the fall healed rapidly under the nourishment of the elixir.
Ning Shuang tentatively braced herself with her hands, gently shifted her bottom, and once she confirmed that the pain had subsided, a smile immediately bloomed on her pretty face as she gracefully stood up.
She clutched the porcelain bottle, a shrewd glint in her eyes—her junior sister had plenty of spirit stones, and Young Master Zhou was even richer than a fish.
This pill sells for 5,000 high-grade spirit stones each, a sure-fire way to make a profit!
But when she looked up and saw two people standing unharmed not far away, staring at her with an indescribable look, Ning Shuang instantly broke down!
"what--!"
She stamped her feet and cried out in a pitiful voice, "Junior Sister, Young Master Zhou!"
Why didn't you guys fall on your butts and squat?
Why didn't your coccyx split open?
"Waaaaah... Why am I the only one who's hurt?"
He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Hu Xiaoman's lips twitched.
She almost landed face down when she landed, but Zhou Wenlun pulled her up in time, preventing her from having a "close encounter" with the ice.
She wanted to go forward and help her fifth senior sister, but when she turned around, she saw her fifth senior sister swallowing the pill by herself and giving a silly grin, as if she was plotting something.
Seeing that her fifth senior sister was on the verge of tears, Hu Xiaoman quickly stepped forward and asked, "Fifth senior sister, are you alright?"
Ning Shuang pouted and handed the porcelain bottle to Hu Xiaoman, her voice trembling with tears: "Junior Sister, something's wrong!"
"Buy me one of these pills?"
"Not expensive, just five thousand high-grade spirit stones!"
Hu Xiaoman: “…”
She patted her fifth senior sister's fair hand: "Fifth senior sister, is this a mid-grade Bone Condensation Pill?"
"I can also refine them, and I can even refine high-quality ones."
Ning Shuang's already reddened eyes instantly filled with tears, her heart aching more than her tailbone.
It was just a butt injury at first, but now I've suffered a severe psychological blow too!
Seeing that she was about to cry, Hu Xiaoman quickly changed the subject: "My God, it's so cold here!"
Ning Shuang also suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Ah sneeze——!"
The cold here is far more biting than in the outer ice cave. The chill seems to solidify into tangible ice blades, seeping into the bones through the pores and making one's limbs numb.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of the three people breathing echoing in the empty ice cave, adding to the eeriness.
Hu Xiaoman looked around, her gaze sweeping over the eerie deep blue ice wall. Her eyelids twitched, and she lowered her voice, saying, "This place looks more like the lair of the Ice Demon."
Ning Shuang nodded vigorously, her teeth chattering: "This cold seeps into my bones, I'm about to be frozen solid!"
"Wait!" she suddenly exclaimed, staggering forward a few steps before covering her mouth, her eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
The surrounding ice walls were crystal clear, and within the deep blue ice layer, there were ice sculptures of various shapes and sizes sealed inside!
These ice sculptures are incredibly lifelike, their faces frozen with the terror, despair, and pain of death. Their grotesque expressions send chills down your spine and make your scalp tingle.
Ning Shuang's finger trembled as she pointed to one of the ice sculptures, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "Junior Sister, look... the clothes that person is wearing are... the disciple robes of our Kunlun Sect!"
