Boom!
The sound of breaking ice echoed, and the thick ice wall instantly shattered into flying ice debris. Three figures hidden beneath black cloaks appeared like ghosts, suddenly in front of Bai Fenglang.
"Break it for me!"
The three combined their strength, and a fierce energy directly blasted towards the ice flower that was continuously emitting ice and snow power. Space trembled, and the entire ice and snow world shook a few times.
Fortunately, the terrifying ice flower was finally shattered.
Bai Fenglang also narrowly escaped.
However, the residual ice and snow power within his body had not disappeared. It continued to freeze his soul and devour his vitality.
"How can this ice and snow power be so terrifying?"
Even though the ice flower was shattered, the three black-robed figures who appeared wore solemn expressions. Their eyes all showed disbelief.
These three were the outsiders who had been extremely arrogant in the Bai family's council hall at that time.
And the somewhat aged black-robed figure in the middle was what Bai Fenglang had previously called the Left Guardian.
Clearly!
They were organized.
"First, help him suppress the ice and snow power within his body!"
The Left Guardian turned back, looking at Bai Fenglang, whose face had lost all color and was as pale as paper. He frowned deeply.
Despite his utter contempt for Bai Fenglang, the latter was, after all, a disciple of that Sword Master.
With this identity, they had to save him.
However, it was one thing for them to want to save him, and another for the Emperor of the Ice and Snow World to be willing to give them time to do so.
"Since you've come out, you'll all stay here!"
A cold glint flashed in Fang Junxue's eyes. With a flick of her index finger, the remaining three ice flowers in front of her transformed into flowing shadows and attacked the three figures.
It seemed that Fang Junxue had prepared these three specifically for them.
"How dare you! You actually want to deal with all three of us at once!"
The Left Guardian's heart was filled with humiliation. "Attack! Suppress this woman first!"
Faced with three ice flowers containing terrifying ice and snow power, no one dared to be careless. They scattered themselves, their bodies surging with power, directly confronting the attack head-on.
Rumble!
They intended to crush the opponent's attack with sheer power.
However, reality dealt them a severe blow.
"How is this possible?"
The Left Guardian continuously circulated the primal energy within his body, trying to dissipate the ice and snow power within the ice flower. But the result was that the moment his primal energy came into contact with the ice and snow power, he felt a chilling sense of being frozen.
This was simply unimaginable.
His cultivation realm had reached the Source Heart realm, and the primal energy within his body was so abundant. Yet, it could be frozen, which he found unacceptable.
"This is definitely not ordinary ice-attribute primal energy!"
The Left Guardian's pupils trembled, and he speculated with dread.
"Sir, what do we do? If this continues, our power will be frozen too?" The other two black-robed figures were already struggling to hold on.
Unlike the Left Guardian, their cultivation realms were only at the mid-stage of the Primal Source realm. They not only lacked a constant supply of primal energy from their Source Heart but also didn't have the abundant power of the Left Guardian.
If this continued, they might end up like Bai Fenglang.
"Damn it!"
A vicious glint flashed in the Left Guardian's eyes. At this point, he had no choice but to use his full power.
"Black Flame! Appear!"
Boom!
As a scorching sensation emanated, black flames erupted from the surface of the Left Guardian's body. The terrifying heat instantly dispersed the surrounding chill.
"Sir has used his awakened fire-attribute primal energy! There's hope now!"
The two black-robed figures beside him felt the surrounding temperature and finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Fire attribute naturally had a克制 relationship with ice attribute. With this, they had nothing to worry about.
"Hmph! I never expected an outsider woman to force me to use Black Flame! After I annihilate this ice and snow power of yours, I will personally make you experience the pain of being burned alive!"
The Left Guardian sneered, then directly infused the Black Flame's power into the ice flower. His confident expression suggested everything was over.
Fire counters ice!
This was a natural law, and he had an absolute advantage.
This was why the Left Guardian was so triumphant.
However, he seemed to have overlooked a prerequisite.
While this counter-relationship did exist, it required a condition: fire and ice of the same level could satisfy this chain of suppression.
But if the levels of both parties were unequal, this so-called counter-relationship would be no different from a fantasy.
"Hahaha! Annihilate it for me!"
The Left Guardian roared with laughter, and just as he thought the ice and snow power within the ice flower would gradually melt, the scene he witnessed completely shattered his worldview.
His fire... was frozen.
Yes!
He wasn't mistaken; the flames were frozen.
"This..."
At this moment, the other two black-robed figures were also stunned. They didn't even notice their bodies being gradually eroded by the ice and snow power.
Their perceptions had been overturned, leaving them numb.
"Ah!"
But the extreme chill had spread to their souls. In agony, their consciousness returned to their bodies at that moment.
However, reality was rather cruel.
Apart from the Left Guardian, the two black-robed figures beside him had turned into two human ice sculptures. Although their consciousness still existed, it would have been better if they had simply fainted.
To avoid suffering the torment of frozen souls.
Clearly, the ice and snow power contained within the three ice flowers Fang Junxue had unleashed later was on a completely different level than what she had used against Bai Fenglang.
"You... Who exactly are you?"
The Left Guardian, with his Source Heart continuously providing him with primal energy, could still barely hold on. Coupled with his fire-attribute primal energy, he could still slowly wear down the power contained within the ice flower.
Winning by sheer volume, there was still a sliver of hope.
Of course, this was assuming Fang Junxue would not make another move.
But this was clearly impossible.
"Who am I? Heh!"
Fang Junxue's figure seemed to merge into this ice and snow world. She merely lifted her foot, and in the next second, as if completing a spatial jump, she appeared directly in front of the Left Guardian.
This technique caused the Left Guardian's pupils to contract again, and he almost fell to his knees.
Even if he were more foolish, he would realize at this point that the woman before him was no ordinary person.
She was too mysterious, and too powerful.
"You appeared here, didn't you want to capture me as a bargaining chip to threaten someone?"
Fang Junxue looked down at the Left Guardian. Although the expression in her beautiful eyes was as calm as water, the biting frost around her still added a powerful sense of pressure. "Now you ask who I am, don't you find it ridiculous?"
"Wh... What?"
These words made the Left Guardian, who had already despaired, feel a sense of overwhelming superiority once again. The information the opponent possessed far exceeded their expectations.
And reflecting on the planning and search that led them to this point, he realized they knew absolutely nothing about the person they intended to capture.
Before, their assessment of Fang Junxue had always been that of an ordinary merchant.
But now, they realized how profoundly wrong they were.
"Hahaha! It is indeed ridiculous!"
The Left Guardian looked at the condensed cold air in Fang Junxue's hand. He knew that everything was about to end.
But he didn't know that the energy Fang Junxue was gathering in her palm was not meant for him at all.
"You've been watching for so long, aren't you going to save them?"
