164: He Really Self-Detonated

He Really Self-Detonated

"Be careful!"

An Lin shouted as the Chaotic Alloy Brick flew out of his storage ring towards Tang Shiyuan.

Boom!

Blue flames exploded around her, sending waves of frighteningly high temperatures radiating in all directions, even melting away the ground to form a dark pit of thirty feet in radius.

Tang Shiyuan's eyes widened at the sudden increase in temperature. Two blasts of flames fanned out around her as she barely escaped the grasp of death.

She turned around slowly to find a huge black brick was situated behind her, shielding her from the fearsome blaze.

This was the second time An Lin had to swoop in and save her. She gritted her teeth and quickly made a retreat.

No matter what happened, she refused to become a liability to An Lin.

An Lin looked ahead with a grave expression at the beautiful silver-haired woman walking toward her. A sea of blue flames surrounded her and she held a white spirit bead emitting a frosty aura in her hand.

"She's a Soul Formation Stage foe! I'll hold her off, you find a chance to escape!" An Lin spoke urgently to Tang Shiyuan.

In the face of a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, he had no choice but to use the Origin Energy of the Netherworld again to create a slim chance of survival.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she misinterpreted An Lin's words, thinking that he was going to sacrifice himself for her. She bit down stubbornly on her lower lip. "No, I'm not going anywhere, if we die then we die together!"

An Lin: "…"

What the hell was this about dying together? Just where had her train of thought taken her…

He yelled again in frustration. "Who the f*ck wants to die together with you? I'm telling you to run and then I'll find an opportunity to run away myself!!"

"Huh?" Tang Shiyuan's bright eyes widened.

Just as they were talking, blue flames suddenly whistled past, trapping them both in a sea of flames.

Sh*t… now they were truly in a pinch.

An Lin smiled bitterly and prepared himself to use the Origin Energy of the Netherworld.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from the sky above.

"Hundred Swords Piercing Through The Heavens!"

A man in a white robe wielded a heavy hilt-less sword, from which a vast and powerful sword intent burst forth. The projection of a yin-yang image appeared behind him, emitting the power of Taichi which blended into heaven and earth.

Hundreds of agile white swords appeared in a dense bunch behind him and they flew toward the snow maiden with peerless power.

The blue flames within the snow maiden's domain detected a strong threat, and it immediately switched targets as it rose into the air to clash with the hundreds of swords raining down.

There was no fearsome clash as anticipated. The flying swords were slightly warped under the scorching temperatures of the flames, but they still retained frightening penetrative power which enabled them to pierce through the flames and fly directly toward the snow maiden.

"Impossible!?" A fearful expression appeared on the snow maiden's face for the first time. That was her final word before she was completely engulfed by a boundless expanse of sword projections.

The hundreds of flying swords mercilessly tore the snow maiden's body apart in an instant.

Insta-kill?

An Lin stared blankly at the man in the sky, his face filled with shock.

It was not because of his terrifying strength. Instead, it was because…

"Student An Lin, are you alright?"

The man in the white robe descended from the sky and enquired warmly.

Yes, the person that had just insta-killed the Soul Formation Stage snow maiden was none other than Xuanyuan Cheng.

An Lin shook his head. "I… I'm OK, Big Brother Cheng, when did you get so strong? What hacks did you use?"

Xuanyuan Cheng was slightly taken aback by An Lin's question before he realized what An Lin was referring to. He then patted the heavy hilt-less sword in his hand as he explained, "It's all thanks to the Ancient Spiritual Sword my father left at the sect. The sword itself has the power of a sword spirit. I'm only able to use it after activating the power of my bloodline."

An Lin was full of envy and admiration at his explanation. "So strong, not even my immortal tool has that ability…"

The Evil-Slaying Sword did not have a sword spirit so that was understandable, but the Realm-Piercing Nail had a spirit, so why did he feel nothing special from using the Realm-Piercing Nail…

"Oh right, thank you for taking the risk to provide us with information, An Lin. You should get away from here with Tang Shiyuan now," said Xuanyuan Cheng with a grateful expression.

An Lin nodded in agreement since that was his original intention anyway. He immediately leaped onto his black brick and quickly left the battlefield that was the Heavenly Dawn Peak.

Tang Shiyuan was completely exhausted and did not really have much combat strength left, so she willingly obliged as well and followed after An Lin through Sword Kinesis Flight.

At this moment, a sharp screech reverberated around the whole battleground.

A huge ice phoenix rose into the air like a sharp blue sword, tearing the mountain below apart with blades of frosty wind. The six Soul Formation Stage elders who attempted to halt the progress of the ice phoenix were immediately knocked back and sent spiraling into the air with blood flying from their mouth.

The ice phoenix did not stop after bursting through the elders' defenses. Instead, it dived straight toward the Frosty Demon Sealing Tower!

An Lin's expression shifted drastically upon seeing this.

The man standing atop the ice phoenix was none other than the silver-haired man who was proclaiming self-detonation.

A powerful sword projection descended from the air above, instantly slashing down upon the silver-haired man, even warping the air around it with its fearsome might.

"It's too late," said the silver-haired man lightly as he charged toward the Frosty Demon Sealing Tower without hesitation.

The sword projection sliced the silver-haired man and his ice phoenix mount cleanly in half, even slashing through the Heavenly Dawn Peak below, leaving an unfathomably deep trench of thousands of feet in length in its wake!

However, even though his body had been slashed in half, its momentum was completely unaffected and it still flew toward the Frosty Demon Sealing Tower while emitting an extremely bright white light.

The whole space was painted gold in an instant.

It was as if a miniature sun exuding boundless light and heat had appeared on the Heavenly Dawn Peak at that moment.

Xuanyuan Cheng appeared beside An Lin and Tang Shiyuan before enveloping both of them in his Taichi sword formation.

Boom!

Boundless destructive power began to radiate outwards.

Heaven and earth shook as mountains and lakes collapsed.

Within the central area of the explosion, countless sect disciples and snow maidens were all instantly wiped out of existence by the terrifying explosion. Even those who were battling from afar were struck by the shockwaves that radiated outwards for tens-of-thousands of meters, causing them to collapse to the ground with grievous injuries.

Xuanyuan Cheng had activated his sword formation to protect An Lin and Tang Shiyuan, but the backlash from the damage to his sword formation caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Big Brother Cheng!" An Lin supported Xuanyuan Cheng's body as panic began to run rampant in his heart.

The dust slowly settled.

The Heavenly Dawn Peak was completely in ruins.

Within the pitch black crater in the center of the explosion, the translucent white Frosty Demon Sealing Tower had lost all its luster and cracks that looked like spider webs were lined all over the structure of the tower. A vast, ancient aura began to emanate from within the tower…2

A few of the elders of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect were all in shock at the sight of the collapsing Frosty Demon Sealing Tower.

The snow maidens were initially in despair and rage at the countless casualties of their sisters in the explosion, but their expressions soon became one of joy at the sight of the crumbling tower.

An Lin surveyed the scene in front of him, and he knew that the big BOSS was about to appear.

The situation he was in began to become direr.

Boom!

The Frosty Demon Sealing Tower completely collapsed into countless ice crystals, emitting a rainbow luster under the twilight sun.

An Lin took a deep breath. The BOSS was about to appear!
