n“Bang!”

nThe ice layer exploded.

nMo Mo fell out from within.

nWhen Xu Xiaoshou saw this humanoid woman fall from the sky, the corner of his mouth twitched.

nHe finally understood why the grey mist figure always used the sealing mist to envelop itself.

nPerhaps it wasn’t for pretense.

nRather, it was because it had latched onto a female character. Even if it revealed its true appearance, it would probably feel that it wasn’t a match?

n“Xu, Xu Xiaoshou…”

n“Just you… hehe, just you wait…”

n

n

nThe grey mist figure was using Mo Mo’s body, but its voice was very rough.

nIts lips turned purple from the cold.

nThe frozen power in its body had just recovered not long ago.

nXu Xiaoshou’s attack almost froze its energy reserve completely.

nHowever, it was this attack that made the grey mist figure conclude.

nThe Three Days Frozen Calamity has truly acknowledged its master.

nOtherwise, it was impossible for Xu Xiaoshou to completely freeze a Sovereign’s power in its ghost beast form with his Innate cultivation level.

n“Sovereign…”

nThe grey mist figure let out a low sigh, feeling humiliated.

nHow old was Xu Xiaoshou!

nAt this time, he had already grown to such a stage.

nIf he was given some more time, wouldn’t he be able to match against a Cutting Path?

nAlthough the frozen power didn’t have much to do with his cultivation level.

nThe Three Days Frozen Calamity itself had already formed a contract with Xu Xiaoshou.

nAccording to this situation.

nThis was one of his abilities!

nThis fellow, at his age…

nHad already possessed the ability to threaten a Sovereign!

n“Release your sealing aura first, then talk to me.” Xu Xiaoshou pulled Aje and took a step back.

nHe was afraid of revenge.

nHowever, this fellow was using Mo Mo’s face, and its voice was so out of place. It was truly too uncomfortable, so he couldn’t help but say it.

nThe grey mist figure stood up and didn’t release the mist again.

nHe knew that Xu Xiaoshou knew Mo Mo, and the two of them could be considered friends.

nIn a situation where it was completely hopeless, sometimes, one had to play the emotional card.

n“First absorb the frozen power in my body.” The grey mist figure’s voice became gentler.

nXu Xiaoshou’s eyebrows jumped wildly.

nHe couldn’t stand this voice and planned to attack again, blasting this thing away

nHowever, facing Mo Mo, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

nHe vaguely remembered when the grey mist figure fainted at Tianxuan Gate, and Mo Mo confided in him.

nThis girl was also a pitiful person.

nA calm and peaceful person was forced to do so many things that she didn’t want to do.

nXu Xiaoshou suddenly understood why the Night Guardian was so resolute when facing a ghost beast.

nBecause at this moment, he felt like killing the grey mist figure.

n“Hiss!”

nHe sucked in his lips and teeth, and the frozen power returned to his body.

nXu Xiaoshou retreated behind Aje, stuck out his head, and said, “I’ve treated you sincerely, and I’ve completely trusted you.”

n“I’ll suck out the frozen power for you. We’ll forget everything that happened in the past.”

n“I’ll bring you out. From now on, we’ll stay out of each other’s way!”

n“Hehe.” The grey mist figure laughed coldly. “Just pray that you don’t fall into my hands…”

nXu Xiaoshou suddenly stretched out his hand.

nThe grey mist figure’s face stiffened.

n“Alright.”

n“Then it’s settled. After we get out, we’ll face that man in the red dress together. Don’t trip me up. Otherwise, we’ll die together.”

nXu Xiaoshou retracted his hand and said seriously, “If I’m done for, and so are you!”

nThe grey mist figure nodded.

n“Cut the crap and lead the way.”

nWhen Xu Xiaoshou heard this fellow’s tone, he knew that the grey mist figure had been plotting something.

nPerhaps it was not just him who had the thought of escaping the moment he got out.

nThis fellow was probably planning to leave him behind to face the man in the red dress and then escape on its own.

n“Happy working together.”

nXu Xiaoshou said this and did not extend his hand again.

nHe turned his head to look at the sky.

nHis spiritual senses could see the blue light spots that covered the sky and earth, which were the ice element.

nAt the same time, he could also see a certain place where a large amount of ice element was flowing outside.

nThis place was exactly where he had used heaven and earth as a furnace to roast the outside world.

nIt was very obvious.

nAs long as the space collapsed and they followed this place, they would definitely be able to return to the White Cave.

n“Aje.”

nXu Xiaoshou did not make a move. Instead, he turned his head to look at Aje.

nWith a signal, Aje turned back into a rock and was kept in the front of his clothes.

nThe grey mist figure’s eyes turned cold.

nHe had long deduced that Aje was not human.

nHowever, when he saw this fellow turn into a rock, he was still shocked.

n“What is that?”

n“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!”

n“Lead the path!”

nIt scolded him angrily.

n“Watch your tone, you can’t defeat me now!” Xu Xiaoshou reminded.

n“Criticized, Passive Points, 1.”

n“Cursed, Passive Points, 1.”

n“Missed, Passive Points, 1.”

nXu Xiaoshou did not bother with it anymore. He took out a handful of magic pills and swallowed them.

nThe Breathing Technique was activated and instantly replenished his energy reserve.

nThe Three Days Frozen Calamity was too powerful!

nAlthough he was at the Peak of Occupied Void and used only one form of the Ice Age technique, he did not utilize his spiritual source but the power of the Three Days Frozen Calamity itself.

nHowever, just by communicating with the Way of the Heavens and using the power of the Three Days Frozen Calamity to freeze the grey mist figure, Xu Xiaoshou’s energy reserve was almost cleared up by half.

nIn the end, his cultivation level was still insufficient.

nUsing such a pure spiritual source to fight, Xu Xiaoshou was not used to it.

nHis growth speed was too fast.

nIn terms of spiritual source, it was still his fatal weakness.

nFortunately, his other strengths had almost completely surpassed the strongest youth at this stage.

n“Be careful, follow me closely.”

nAfter giving a reminder, Xu Xiaoshou extended his hand, and an ice lotus appeared once again.

nThe huge hailstones in the sky continued to smash down.

nWhen an icy aura swept across the void from the ice lotus.

nThe world seemed to be completely frozen.

n“Ka!”

n“Ka Ka –“

nThe hailstones that were floating in mid-air came one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they connected into one.

nIn a short moment, the space of this small world was completely filled with solid ice.

nThe grey mist figure was speechless as he watched from behind.

nThe Three Days Frozen Calamity was too powerful.

nAlthough having an extremely low-temperature environment was a prerequisite to freeze a small world like this.

nHowever, it was able to affect the world to such an extent in such a short time.

nIt was even more terrifying than a Sovereign’s bounded domain!

n“The ability of a Cutting Path can’t be any better than this…”

nThe grey mist figure muttered as it looked at Xu Xiaoshou’s back.

nSometimes, he really couldn’t see through this young man in front of him.

nPerhaps, not making an enemy out of him would be beneficial for it and everyone else!

nAlso…

nThe grey mist figure’s eyes flickered, and his mood fluctuated.

n“How good would it be if this fellow had a seal attribute?”

n…

n“Ice Age!”

nWith a single command, the void completely froze.

nXu Xiaoshou looked at this space, and the ice lotus returned to his energy reserve.

nThe ice would not explode on its own.

nEven if he controlled it to explode, the power would not be so great that it could shatter an entire small world.

nHowever, if he were to change his way of thinking, it would be completely different.

nUsing the heaven and earth as the oven and the world’s solid ice as the pill.

nIn the blink of an eye, he condensed it into a pill the size of a fingernail.

nThis…

nWas definitely impossible to succeed!

nAnd the failed result of conducting alchemy would definitely be an explosion.

nAn explosion meant that the already tattered alchemy cauldron wouldn’t be able to withstand it at all!

n“The condensing method of infernal heavens…”

nXu Xiaoshou thought of this and pressed down with both hands.

n“Condense!”

n“Chi!”

nA terrifying cold force swept out in all directions.

nIn the next second, the grey mist figure could completely feel all the ice in this space being crazily compressed.

n“This…”

nHis face was filled with shock.

nThis technique definitely wasn’t the power of the Three Days Frozen Calamity.

nSo, even if he completely threw away the ice flame’s power, Xu Xiaoshou would still have the ability to blow up an area of space?

nBased on this compression speed, it would not take long before…

n“Rumble –“

nAs expected.

nBefore he could finish his thoughts, the entire area of space could no longer withstand it and directly exploded.

nThe deafening sound of the explosion was like it had been knocked open in his mind, instantly blowing the grey mist figure into a mess.

n“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang…”

nCountless ice crystals shattered and shot out in all directions.

nThe space could no longer withstand it and turned into fragments that exploded.

nIt was as if the sky had completely collapsed and shattered, and black holes engulfed the world.

nEndless darkness covered everything. It was as if the night had been pulled up, and the curtain could no longer be raised.

n“Go!”

nFeeling the endless suction force in the sky, Xu Xiaoshou could not hold on any longer.

nHe tried to control his body and flew toward his target.

nBut the consequences of this explosion were too serious.

nThere were black holes everywhere.

nHe could not control his body at all, so he flew towards the sky, completely out of touch with his target.

n“Whoosh!”

nThe grey mist figure was different.

nWith enough experience in shattering space, it instantly wrapped itself in a sealing mist, blocking the suction force of the black hole, and then flew toward the space node leading to the White Cave.

n“Cooperate!”

nXu Xiaoshou roared.

nAbove the energy reserve, the Three Days Frozen Calamity was already ringing wildly.

nNaturally, he could also use the means of the ice flame to forcefully connect himself to the ice crystal passage leading to the White Cave. It was still safe enough.

nHowever.

nUnder such a situation that seemed like he was going to die, he need to weigh his options.

nIn the end, did the grey mist figure truly let go of the grudge in its heart?

nIf it was unwilling to make a move, even if he went out, he believed that the path toward the White Cave would be accompanied by endless harassment from this fellow.

nAnd if it could make a move…

nNo matter how unwilling it was.

nOnce something started, it was inevitable that it would develop in the direction of feelings.

n“Cooperation?”

nThe grey mist figure rushed to the side of the space node and laughed out loud.

nWhat kind of joke is this!

nYou brat, it’s impossible for you to pass through the space node. I had already made my calculations.

nFirst, stay in the spatial fragment for a period of time.

nWait until your corpse appears, then make the move.

nAt that time, whether it’s the Infernal Original Seed or the Three Days Frozen Calamity, none of them will be able to escape from my palm!

n“Bye!”

nA foot stepped into the space node, and a rich suction force was transmitted.

nThe grey mist figure did not forget to forcefully restrain the momentum of its body, and it stretched out its hand to shake it twice.

nLooking at the terrified expression on Xu Xiaoshou’s face.

nIt was happy.

nIt was even happier than beheading a hundred Red Coats!

n“Woo!”

nSuddenly, its brain twitched, and the grey mist figure nearly fainted from the pain.

n“Darn it, at this critical moment, why did it run out…”

nIt was almost swallowed by the space node, and the grey mist figure was so scared that it almost peed.

nIf it got lost among the spatial fragments, it would be a dead-end!

nForcefully restraining its momentum, the grey mist figure did not dare to provoke the girl anymore, and it immediately wanted to escape into the space node.

nAt this moment, a sharp pain struck its brain again.

n“You’re crazy!”

nThe grey mist figure hurriedly pulled its leg away from the space node.

nWith such an unstable element, how could it dare to forcefully cross the spatial fragment?

nIts head felt like it was being pricked by needles again.

nThe grey mist figure’s gaze changed slightly. There was a hint of pity and pleading.

n“Save, save him…”

n“Impossible!”

nWith a vicious blink, the grey mist figure forcefully cut off Mo Mo’s will.

nSave Xu Xiaoshou?

nEven if the sky were to fall, it would be impossible!

n“Woo!”

nJust as he finished declining, his thought suffered another intense attack.

nThe grey mist figure went crazy.

n“You’re truly crazy!”

n“At this time, I cannot save people! I can’t even take care of myself…”

n“If you don’t save him, we’ll die together…” halfway through its words, its voice was replaced by a determined female voice.

nThe grey mist figure was stunned and a little surprised.

nAfter all, it had been with Mo Mo for so long, so it knew her personality.

nAt most, she only had a little compassion for the world.

nHowever, under its training, Mo Mo no longer looked like she could not bear to kill.

nNo matter what kind of order it gave, as long as it was not out of line, she would not refuse.

nEven though she still couldn’t take the initiative to kill people.

nBut at the critical moment, she had also learned how to protect herself. She would not reject it like this and choose to save a fellow whom she had only met a few times without caring about her own safety.

nBut today…

nWas completely different!

nThis was the first time the grey mist figure felt Mo Mo’s determination.

nShe had made up her mind.

nIf it did not save Xu Xiaoshou, they would really die together!

nThe grey mist figure was going crazy.

n“Who is he to you that you want to save him? Do you like him? Are you really in love with him? You’ve only met him a few times!” It chose to speak directly to the girl.

n“It’s not about liking him.”

nMo Mo denied it.

n“If you don’t like him, why bother saving him? Even if you don’t want your life, I still want it!” The grey mist figure was enraged that it was about to split open.

nThe spatial crack tore the world apart.

nThe black hole swallowed everything.

nXu Xiaoshou’s figure was getting further and further away. It was as if he was going to disappear completely in the next second.

n“Save him.”

nMo Mo’s soul, which was curled up in a corner, once again begged bitterly.

n“Reason!”

nThe grey mist figure roared in its mind, “I want a reason!”

nThe image of the Outer Yard’s Windcloud Competition suddenly appeared in its mind.

nThe grey mist figure was stunned.

nAt that time, before the competition, Xu Xiaoshou was still ridiculing something. Suddenly, his style changed and he said seriously, “You’re very pretty…”

nThe image was cut off.

nIt turned into Tianxuan Gate under the heavy snow.

nMo Mo was walking alone on the road. An order came from the small copper stove to kill Xu Xiaoshou.

nShe refused.

nThe answer was surprisingly simple.

n“He’s very gentle.”

nThe grey mist figure was on the verge of breaking down.

n“That’s it?”

n“That’s your reason?”

n“Just because he praised you, that’s it?!”

n“That’s not it.” Mo Mo smiled. “I’ve already given you the answer a long time ago… there are always some people who shouldn’t be hurt.”

n“You’re unreasonable!” The grey mist figure roared.

nAt this moment, it was anxious about why it possessed a woman.

n“None of these are reasons. I can’t save him. I want to kill him! I want to kill Xu Xiaoshou!” It said angrily.

n“When you asked me for the reason, you couldn’t kill him.”

nMo Mo was indifferent. “Actually, you already have the answer. Why do you need to ask me?”

n“I don’t have the answer, and I have no reason to save him!”

n“What you said is also not a reason!”

nThe grey mist figure felt that if it did not go crazy, sooner or later, it would also be driven mad by this woman.

n“Reason…”

nMo Mo muttered.

nTime seemed to have stopped.

nThrough her body, which was completely out of her control, Mo Mo seemed to be able to see Xu Xiaoshou’s powerless struggle as she gradually disappeared into the darkness.

nShe fell silent.

nSometimes, how could there be so many reasons for wanting to save someone and not wanting to kill someone?

nIf she had to give a reason, she wouldn’t be able to.

nAfter all, she had only come into contact with Xu Xiaoshou on those two occasions.

nAnd it was only these two encounters that she saw this young man’s temperament, which was completely different from the others.

nIt wasn’t that kind of aura.

nIt was a different kind!

nThere would always be people who would say, “My fate is in my hands, not the heavens”, but when they actually acted, they would still choose to submit.

nBut that wasn’t the case for Xu Xiaoshou.

nThere would always be people who would face the evil god that they couldn’t resist and would shout in their hearts, “I can do it, I can do it”. When they had to choose, they would still choose to give up.

nXu Xiaoshou was not like that either!

nFrom this young man, Mo Mo could see that he was not as random as he usually was.

nOn the contrary, she saw an opposite version of herself.

nThe grey mist figure is very strong!

nOthers might not know, but how could Mo Mo not know?

nIf it completely abandoned this body that did not meet the standards of cultivation level, the power it could release would probably be something that few people in the entire Shengshen Continent could withstand.

nBut Xu Xiaoshou had knocked it unconscious!

nPerhaps there was indeed a prerequisite that was disadvantageous to the grey mist figure.

nBut even so, this battle result was something that Mo Mo did not dare to believe.

nUntil now, she still did not believe it!

nBut this was the truth, and she had no choice but to believe it.

nIn front of everyone who had chosen to give up like her, Xu Xiaoshou was the only one who stood out and advanced with great success, stepping on all obstacles.

nEven if this existence was the god in the hearts of others!

n“Perhaps, this is what makes him special…”

nMo Mo smiled silently.

nShe was the former.

nWhether it was before the arrival of the grey mist figure or after.

nShe had no interest in anything in the world.

nGiving up was the only choice she had when faced with difficulties.

nAnd what forced her to move forward was the repeated orders of the grey mist figure.

nXu Xiaoshou was different.

nHe was the “motivation”!

nHe was the “target”!

nMo Mo smiled happily.

nLooking at the existence that was completely engulfed by darkness, she saw light instead and finally found a word that could describe Xu Xiaoshou.

n“This is all I have in my life.”

n“Xu Xiaoshou is different. He can do anything that I can’t do.”

nMo Mo said softly, “He is ‘salvation’, my salvation!”

nThe grey mist figure was completely dumbfounded.

nIt did not expect that after summarizing for a long time, Mo Mo would come to such a ridiculous and vague conclusion.

n“Salvation my foot!”

n“You make me speechless!”

nIt was about to step into the space node again.

nThe grey mist figure suddenly felt that something was wrong.

nIts vision became blurry?

nThat wasn’t right!

nIt wasn’t its vision.

nIt was… her vision?

nIt stretched out its hand and wiped it.

nIt was cold.

n“This…”

nThe grey mist figure was stunned for a moment before it finally closed its eyes with a heavy heart.

nMy reputation… is tarnished!

n“Xiu!”

nA thick sealing mist resisted the suction force of the black hole and staggered past the shattered space nodes. It passed through the void and shot into the darkness.

n“Remember, there won’t be a next time.”

nThe silence lasted for a long time before it was finally broken by the female voice.

n“Thank you.”

n…

nWhite Cave.

n“Are you coming out soon?”

nThe Night Guardian soared through the void and looked at the shattered space around him with a grave expression.

nThe extreme coldness had dyed this place into a completely different color from the White Cave.

nSnowflakes fell from the sky onto his shoulders.

nEach piece contained the supreme calamity power.

nThe Night Guardian felt that if he stayed here any longer, his Nine Death Thunder Calamity might arrive ahead of time.

nHowever, as a Red Coat…

nEven the most ordinary Red Coat had a mission which was to never retreat in front of a ghost beast.

nNo matter how difficult it was, it was nothing more than a message before he died.

n“The Peak of Cutting Path or the Higher Void…”

nThe Night Guardian had completely overturned the inference that the ancient book space was actually a seal ghost beast.

nHe also completely understood.

nThis must have been the confusion that the Storyteller had made before his death.

nIf the seal ghost beast could possess such ice-type power…

nPerhaps the number of Red Coats who died during the White Cave operation back then would not only be that number.

n“Ka Ka –“

nThe air currents in the void suddenly reversed and entered the ancient book space.

nThe Night Guardian’s thoughts turned cold.

nHe knew that the space node had appeared.

nThat thing inside could run out.

n“Boom!”

nFollowing a loud explosion.

nThe ancient book finally could not withstand the power of the ice-type calamity power and completely exploded.

nFollowing that, a black hole space that could allow several people to pass through was split open.

n“Shoo!”

nA light figure broke through from within.

nWith a click, the figure landed on the ground.

n“You’re here.”

nNight Guardian’s back was facing him as he calmly spoke.

nAs a Red Coat, he still had to have a sense of ritual.

nBefore the battle started, it was also necessary to give the ghost beast some pressure.

nHe slowly turned around.

nWith this turn, the Night Guardian saw a shocking scene.

nThe hand behind his back couldn’t help but let go.

n“Seal… Sealing Power?”

nHis pupils constricted, and he felt terrible.

nThe Storyteller wasn’t lying to him?

nWas he really trapping the seal ghost beast?

nThe Night Guardian completely understood how rare the seal attribute was.

nEven though his dark attribute was as rare as a Phoenix’s feather or a Kirin’s horn, in terms of rarity, it couldn’t even compare to the seal attribute in the slightest.

nOne was still in the Way of the Heavens.

nThe other was born with the ability to seal the Way of the Heavens’ power.

nHow could it be compared?

nThis seal ghost beast in front of them was definitely the one that dozens of Red Coat teams had besieged the White Cave before and still couldn’t take down at all!

n“Beep.”

nThe White Cave’s communication bead rang.

nThe Night Guardian did not need to say anything more.

nBut with this press, Lan Ling’s side would definitely react.

nThis was because all the Red Coats had this specially made communication bead.

nIt was prepared for the seal ghost beast in front of him.

n“Red Coat?”

nThe grey mist figure who was enveloped by the sealed mist looked over and thought that the person floating in the air was a man in a red dress.

nHowever, when he looked closely, his scalp went numb.

nThe color red!

nThey were all red!

nHowever, the person in front of it wasn’t a perverted man in a red dress.

nInstead, it was a red coat that was even more terrifying to the ghost beast than the pervert in a red dress!

n“How long have you been waiting for?”

nThe grey mist figure spoke in a similarly calm manner.

nHe swept his gaze across the ice sculpture that belonged to the red-dressed man not too far away and knew that his calamity had become even more difficult.

n“Not too long…”

nThe Night Guardian moved his frozen fingers and tilted his neck. The bones in his body crackled. “If it’s you, I can wait as long as you want.”

n“Then wait a little longer.”

n“I still have an accomplice. We’ll catch them together later.”

nThe grey mist figure raised its hand. A sealing mist seemed to be connected to something. The other end was still in the space node.

n“Shoo.”

n

n

nIt pulled hard, and another light shadow flew out.

n“Bang!”

nThe figure crashed to the ground without caring for his image. He even let out an “ouch” and rolled on the ground several times before stopping his momentum.

nThe Night Guardian sneered.

n“Accomplice?”

nThis time, he shall kill two birds with one stone!

nHe looked over.

nThe Night Guardian, who had been able to hold back his emotions when he saw the seal ghost beast, could not hold back anymore when he saw the face of the “accomplice” of the ghost beast.

nHe staggered two steps back in disbelief. His face was pale, and his neck stretched forward.

n“Xu, Xu Xiaoshou?”

n
