Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Hiss!

Little Lin shuddered all over, having been slapped to the ground by Xue Jiu, who then stepped on Little Lin with one foot.

A trace of surprise appeared on Xue Jiu's face, "Snake demon beasts of the Golden Core Realm are pretty standard, but I have never seen the likes of this one. Little guy, as long as you submit to me, I will spare your life!"

Hiss hiss!

Little Lin struggled desperately, its small eyes filled with human-like anger and hatred. It opened its tiny mouth, attempting to bite at Xue Jiu's foot with its venom.

"Hmm?"

With a cold sneer and a sinister smile, Xue Jiu revealed his stark white teeth, "If you are so intent on seeking death, I will oblige you!"

Swish!

A bloody sword edge raised high, chopping down towards Little Lin's head.

The radiant blood-red sword light, piercingly bright, traced a scarlet arc through the air, promising to severe Little Lin's head once it fell.

"No!"

Fang Qingzhu roared in anger.

Throughout these days, both she and Xiao Yi had come to treat Little Lin as family.

How could she possibly watch it be killed right before her eyes?

"Get lost!"

Xue Jiu merely raised his hand, backhanding and snatching the Purple Dragon Whip from Fang Qingzhu's grasp. With a ripping sound, Fang Qingzhu's palm was left bloody and mangled, dripping with fresh blood.

He then flung the Purple Dragon Whip.

Crack!

This strike landed on Fang Qingzhu's body.

It burst her clothes open, leaving a bloody wound across her back.

"Let him go..." Ignoring the intense pain in her back, Fang Qingzhu gathered her vital energy and once again charged at Xue Jiu.

"Foolish woman, oblivious to death!"

Xue Jiu casually swung his hand, slapping Fang Qingzhu across the face and toppling her to the ground. He then kicked out fiercely, striking her in the abdomen.

Swish!

Fang Qingzhu was savagely kicked away, pushed horizontally and violently crashing against the wall. Half the wall collapsed thunderously, and Fang Qingzhu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hiss hiss...

Little Lin howled in anger, struggling ever more fiercely.

Xue Jiu paused, looking at Little Lin with amusement, "You don't want me to kill her? Just submit to me, and I can spare her from death..."

Hiss hiss!

Little Lin glared back in rage.

"If you don't submit, then don't blame me for being merciless!" Xue Jiu reached out into the void, and with a swoosh, he grabbed Fang Qingzhu and dragged her before him.

He punched her over and over again before Little Lin's eyes.

He held nothing back with each punch.

Every blow landed heavily, each fist shot exacerbating Fang Qingzhu's injuries, blood dripping from every orifice. She was nearly unconscious, her drooping eyes faintly glowing with ice-blue light.

Yet all of this went unnoticed by Xue Jiu.

He continued to bombard Fang Qingzhu with punches, taunting Little Lin, "If you don't submit, she's going to die!"

"Let her go!"

"Damn you, have the guts to come at me!"

Niu Dali and the four brothers of the Shi Family bellowed with veins bulging, their eyes filled with madness.

With a mocking laugh, Xue Jiu looked at them, "You're like ants, killing you would only dirty my sword!" He stared at Xia Lin, "This final punch, I will directly obliterate her Golden Core. If you don't want her to become a cripple, then submit to me obediently!"

Hiss!

Despair painted Little Lin's eyes, reflecting a very human emotion.

It clearly understood how important Fang Qingzhu was to Xiao Yi; it could not bear to watch Fang Qingzhu die before itself.

However...

Just as it was about to bow its head in submission,

The temperature around plummeted suddenly.

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

A fierce wind tore through heaven and earth, growing larger and colder, sharp as a blade's edge, slicing across onto faces as if to peel the skin off their flesh.

Snowflakes like goose feathers began to drift between heaven and earth.

"What's going on?"

"Is it snowing? But it's June..."

"What situation is this?"

Xue Jiu too was taken aback, his confusion promptly turning to a chill when he felt an icy cold on his palm and subconsciously looked down to see an ice-blue hand firmly grasping his wrist.

"What is this...?"

Xue Jiu's pupils suddenly narrowed, he lifted his head urgently and followed the direction from the icy blue hand.

Standing before him, Fang Qingzhu was covered in a layer of blue frost crystals like a sculpture made of ice. She slowly raised her head, her pupils completely turning the color of ice blue.

Her eyes held a coldness within.

"What the hell is this? Get out of my way!"

Xue Jiu kicked towards Fang Qingzhu's lower abdomen, a kick that could overturn a small mountain, but it stopped abruptly before it could touch Fang Qingzhu.

Crack, crack, crack!

Chains of ice crystallized on his foot, binding him as if with icy shackles.

The bone-chilling cold spread instantaneously from his foot up through his entire left leg.

The ice continued to spread rapidly.

Suddenly, it had surpassed his knee.

In a matter of life and death.

With a slash of his sword, Xue Jiu severed his leg at the knee, but the intense pain did not quell the shock in his heart. An icy chill was also transmitted from his wrist.

"Let go!"

Xue Jiu roared in anger, violently twisting his palm.

Pop!

His palm shattered at the wrist.

The hand turned to ice sculpture fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, Xue Jiu had lost a hand and a foot. He staggered backward, unable to believe what he was seeing as he looked at Fang Qingzhu, whose body was covered in frost, "What kind of monster are you?

He had never seen such a fearsome entity before.

She was clearly just at the Peak of the Shentong Realm!

And she had caused him to lose a hand and a foot in the blink of an eye?

"I, sentence you, to death!"

Fang Qingzhu lifted her head, and her face was covered with a layer of frost, giving her an extreme pallor, but it wasn't terrifying; instead, there was a sacred sense of icy coldness.

Fang Qingzhu spread her arms, and a huge ice-blue phoenix emerged behind her.

"What, what is that?"

"It seems like a phoenix?"

"Impossible! Phoenixes belong to fire; they are creatures of supreme yang, but this..." The Shi Family's four brothers and Niu Dali looked at the ice-blue Phantom Phoenix with horror and disbelief.

Gazing at that ice-blue phoenix, Xue Jiu's pupils contracted violently, and he felt a bone-piercing chill engulf his entire body.

If it were his heyday, he would still have the confidence to fight.

But now...

The loss of a hand and a foot made him dare not linger any longer.

Glancing at the Shi Family's four brothers and Niu Dali, Xue Jiu let out a low growl, "Take them and leave..."

The several Xue Yilou powerhouses immediately grabbed the five people.

"Die!"

Fang Qingzhu snorted coldly, and a gust of icy wind howled past, with the ice-blue Phantom Phoenix behind her taking flight. Behind her trailed a series of icy wind trails, and where it passed, the earth was sealed, and plants were frozen.

The Xue Yilou powerhouses, while still in the posture of grabbing people, were covered with a layer of frost.

As the ice-blue Phantom Phoenix behind Fang Qingzhu cried out to the heavens,

Crack, crack, crack!

The Xue Yilou powerhouses burst on cue, turning into a sky of ice fragments.

The Phoenix flapped its wings, exterminating the Xue Yilou!

For a moment...

In the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, which had become a land of frost, only Xue Jiu remained from the Xue Yilou. The surrounding frost couldn't compare to the coldness in his heart.

"Now it's your turn!"

Fang Qingzhu turned into a blue streak of light and shot forth, skimming across the ground with fierce winds and swirling snow in her wake.

Xue Jiu's expression changed drastically, a crazed look filled his eyes, "You're forcing me!"

Whoosh!

A blood-red bead was thrown by him.

This was a Sword Orb!

Only by understanding the third level of Sword Intent, the fusion of man and sword, could one condense such a Sword Orb!

Its strongest swords moves were integrated within!

Boom!

The Sword Orb exploded, and a sky full of sword shadows enveloped everything, with a thunderous roar, shattering the frost around Fang Qingzhu.

When the Sword Orb had completely dissipated, Fang Qingzhu suddenly trembled all over.

The ice-blue Phantom Phoenix shadow behind her disappeared into nothingness, and she fell to the ground with a thud, as the Sword Orb had depleted all her strength.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gasp!

Gasp!

Xue Jiu, with a look of ecstasy on his face, laughed loudly, "Ha ha ha, so your secret technique has its limits? Without this secret technique's blessing, killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant!"

Just as Xue Jiu raised his sword with the intention of going forth to claim Fang Qingzhu's life, an icy voice suddenly rang out, "Move again, and I'll surely kill you!"
