Chapter 1825 - 959: Sudden Turn of Events

At this moment, the Phoenix Palace Master was in the state of merging with the Red Gold Phoenix, and the wings on her back fluttered a few times, releasing a flurry of feathers, all transformed from flames.

The fiery feathers danced around, where they passed, the ice crystal melted away.

Without lingering, she immediately headed towards the volcano’s mouth.

She knew that both Li Yuanba and Master Ren Mu were buying her time.

Li Yuanba, perceiving two more ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ approaching and countless ice crystals attempting to imprison him, smiled subtly, his figure flickering and disappearing from the original spot.

He need not finish off the injured ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ because it wasn’t necessary.

Having endured an attack imbued with ’Chaos Sword Intent’ and a Wind Blade, the mere entry of ’Chaos Sword Intent’ into the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ was enough to annihilate its soul.

Just as the attacks from the two ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ missed, the breath of the injured ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ vanished as well.

The two ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ here, the one battling Master Ren Mu, and the two concealed in front of the Phoenix Palace Master all let out roars simultaneously.

The Phoenix Palace Master was surprised, as she hadn’t noticed the two hidden ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ ahead.

If Li Yuanba hadn’t slain one ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’, revealing these two, she might have fallen victim to their ambush.

The two ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ were initially set to obstruct the Phoenix Palace Master, but now they ignored her, heading toward Li Yuanba instead.

Not only these two ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’, the one originally battling Master Ren Mu ceased its fight and also rushed towards Li Yuanba.

Though Li Yuanba had slain one ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’, he remained astonished by their formidable strength.

No wonder the ancestor from Luanyang Palace returned so battered and shortly thereafter perished; the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ strength in the ocean was overwhelming.

Merely using Xingyi Sword made slaying a ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ extraordinarily challenging.

Because around the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ was a five-meter-thick ice crystal defensive layer, unless Xingyi Sword delivered over ten strikes in the same spot within a short time, it couldn’t pierce this defense.

Moreover, the Wind Blade emitted by ’Eye of the Storm’, intending to strike remotely within the ocean, was significantly slowed by the seawater, allowing the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ to evade easily.

’Thunder Sound Bell’ proved ineffective too, as seawater hindered its sounds; where its range spanned thousands of meters outside, within the ocean it dramatically decreased not only in scope but also in power.

Hence, Li Yuanba opted not to use ’Thunder Sound Bell’ since it’s not the best choice in such conditions.

He selected a more convenient combat mode, utilizing the Divine Foot Skill.

Though oceanic speed was hampered, this didn’t affect the Divine Foot Skill.

With five ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ charging at him, the seawater seemingly hardened like rock, with their combined efforts, their impact range expanded further, boosting their strength.

Li Yuanba sensed that staying in place would have him trapped in ice crystal despite his ’Eye of the Storm’s’ Vortex Shield.

His figure flickered away from his position, reappearing by the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ that had been fighting Master Ren Mu.

This ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ was somewhat isolated from the others.

Upon Li Yuanba’s sudden appearance, the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’ promptly activated energy within, rapidly crystallizing the surrounding seawater.

”Slash!” Li Yuanba shouted forcefully.

Xingyi Sword descended heavily, and ’Eye of the Storm’ diverted three Wind Blades towards the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’.

Finally, he summoned the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation, imbued with ’Chaos Sword Intent’, and it joined Xingyi Sword and the three Wind Blades in the strike.

This time he aimed to swiftly conclude the battle, given the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ swift speed in the sea.

He wasn’t keen on being encircled by multiple ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’; while unsure of their special abilities, he had no intention of enduring one such assault.

Each of Li Yuanba’s attacks was executed with lethal speed, preventing the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beasts’ from deploying their special abilities.

A total of five strikes; after Xingyi Sword executed the slash, as he didn’t want to reveal its grade, Xingyi Sword was only applied as a Fourth Grade Top Quality Magical Treasure.

A single slash breached half a meter of thickness, far less damage than a Wind Blade could inflict.

Nonetheless, it was understandable—the Wind Blades emitted by ’Eye of the Storm’, empowered by cosmic-level wind Rule Power, greatly surpassed the attack power of a Peak Great Cultivator.

Apparently startled by the previous death of a ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’, this one’s ice crystal defense visibly heightened.

The three Wind Blades barely penetrated the ’Golden Ice Crystal Beast’s skin, failing to inflict significant internal damage; without sufficient damage, the effect of ’Chaos Sword Intent’ was unable to manifest quickly.
