Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2239

"Do not……"

The Ice Demon King's soul and spirit were completely destroyed, and his remaining half-body collapsed to the ground with a thud, his aura completely dissipating.

However, Di Xin had exhausted his human fortune, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was about to collapse.

at this time,

A strong void fluctuation suddenly erupted from the direction of the Icefield Altar.

Despite suffering severe injuries, Ye Qingyu killed three scouts, only to find that the teleportation portal in the center of the altar had already taken shape. A figure wearing a black cloak walked out of the portal, and his aura had reached the early stage of the Transcendent Realm!

"This young cultivator from Xuanhuang does have some skill."

The shadowy figure spoke in a chilling voice, his gaze sweeping over Ye Qingyu's wounds.
"Unfortunately, today is your death day."

He raised his hand and waved.
A black chain, imbued with the power of the void, coiled around Ye Qingyu, distorting space wherever it passed.

Ye Qingyu swung his sword with all his might to cut the chains, but the impact of the chains forced him to retreat repeatedly, causing his blood and qi to surge within him.

Just as the shadowy figure was about to launch a fatal attack, four streaks of light rushed over; it was Di Xin and his three companions who had arrived.

"Who dares to harm my Xuanhuang disciples!"

Although Di Xin's aura was weak, his imperial majesty remained undiminished. He pointed his imperial sword at the black shadow and said, "Remnants of the void, prepare to die!"

Upon seeing this, the shadowy figure's expression changed drastically: "The Ice Demon King has fallen? You..."

Knowing he was no match for Di Xin and his three companions, he turned to retreat back through the portal.

"Want to go?"

Kong Xuan's seven-colored divine light instantly enveloped the teleportation portal: "Stay here!"

Under the divine light,

The void power of the portal dissipated rapidly.

The shadowy figure roared, turned around, and unleashed a black short blade, hurling it at Kong Xuan before transforming into a shadow and fleeing into the depths of the icy plains.

"Sword Master, after him!"

Di Xin said in a deep voice, and the Sword Master transformed into a streak of azure sword light, chasing after the black shadow.

Yuan Futong then took out healing pills and handed them to Ye Qingyu and Di Xin.

Ye Qingyu swallowed the pill and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your rescue, Your Majesty. There are probably more Void forces lurking behind this person."

Di Xin nodded.

His gaze swept deep into the icy plains, his expression grave: "It seems the Void Emperor's scheme is far more far-reaching than we imagined. This Northern Ice Plains is just the beginning."

He gripped the Emperor's Sword tightly; though its golden light was not as dazzling as before, it remained steadfast.
"Order all major powers to launch the hunt ahead of schedule. We cannot afford to wait a century!"

far away,

The aftershocks of the battle between the Sword Master and the shadow continued to spread, and the wind and snow on the icy plains became increasingly violent.

Meanwhile, in other corners of the Xuanhuang Continent, the points of light on the silver tokens seemed to grow even brighter.

A hunt and counter-hunting war sweeping across the entire continent has begun in full swing!

The cyan sword light, like a shooting star chasing the moon, relentlessly pursued the dark figure.

Although the Sword Master suffered some damage from the Ice Cave Grand Strategy, his sword intent remained incomparably sharp. The azure energy around him surged, cleaving through the biting cold wind and the power of the void.

As the shadowy figure fled, it kept glancing back. Seeing the Sword Master relentlessly pursuing it, a ruthless glint flashed in its eyes. Suddenly, it turned around and summoned a black bone shield, which was covered with void runes and exuded a dense aura of death.

"Void Shield!"

The dark figure roared, and the bone shield suddenly expanded, growing to several meters in size, before crashing down towards the Sword Master.

On the shield,

The purplish-black power of the void condensed into countless sharp spikes, exuding an aura of devouring everything.

Sword Master's eyes narrowed, and his sword intent instantly condensed at the tip of his sword: "Break!" The azure sword light was unstoppable and pierced straight towards the core of the runes in the center of the bone shield.

With a crisp "snap",
The black bone shield shattered instantly, and the void runes turned to ashes under the erosion of the sword intent.

The shadowy figure suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. It staggered, but dared not linger, turning and disappearing into a canyon riddled with ice fissures.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Sword Master's figure flickered, and he rushed into the canyon right behind him.

This canyon is called "Soul Rift Valley". The ice walls on both sides are as if they were cut by a knife and axe, and they are covered with sharp ice ridges. The bottom of the valley is dark and bottomless, and it is filled with a strong aura of void rifts.

The dark figure was clearly very familiar with the terrain, maneuvering among the ice crevices and occasionally throwing out void talismans, the exploding black energy obstructing the Sword Master's vision.

The Sword Master remained unmoved, his sword intent spreading out to form an invisible sensory barrier, firmly locking onto the shadowy figure's trail.

"Sword Intent Locks the Soul!"

The cyan sword intent transformed into countless fine threads, wrapping around the shadowy figure's limbs.

The shadowy figure cried out in surprise, forced to turn around and counterattack. A dagger of void materialized in its hand, colliding with the fine strands of sword intent.

On the ice plains,

Di Xin sat cross-legged and used the power of humanity to heal his injuries.

Ye Qingyu was adjusting his breathing on the side. Under the combined effect of the pills and the power of humanity, the void corrosion wound on his shoulder gradually healed, and his breathing became more stable.

Kong Xuan and Yuan Futong kept watch over their surroundings while searching for traces of the void remaining on the ice field.

"Human Emperor, this shadowy figure is no ordinary Void Scout."

Kong Xuan's expression was solemn: "Although the void power on his body is not as strong as that of a king, it contains a trace of the aura of a commander. Perhaps he knows the whereabouts of the other kings."

Yuan Futong nodded in agreement: "The terrain of Rift Soul Valley is complex, with hidden void rifts. It might be dangerous for Sword Master to pursue alone. I'll go and support him!"

Di Xin opened his eyes, his golden gaze sweeping across the direction of Rift Soul Valley: "No need. The Sword Master's sword intent is pure enough to deal with this fiend."

He raised his hand and took out a silver token. The light representing the Northern Region on the token had gone out, but three of the remaining nine lights had become even brighter.

"The Ice Fiend King has fallen, and the other kings have already noticed. Yuan Futong, you will immediately return to Xuanhuang Main City and order all hunting teams to act separately according to the token's instructions. You must kill at least three kings within six months to disrupt their plans!"

"As ordered!"

Yuan Futong clasped his hands in acceptance of the order and transformed into a streak of silver light, speeding away.

Di Xin turned his gaze to Ye Qingyu: "Your injuries are no longer serious. Come with me into the Rift Soul Valley to meet up with the Sword Master and at the same time investigate whether there are any hidden strongholds of the Void Clan here."

"Disciple understands!"

Ye Qingyu gripped the Qingfeng sword tightly, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

The two transformed into streaks of light and sped towards the Valley of Soul Rift.

Valley,

The battle between the Sword Master and the Shadow has reached a fever pitch.

The shadowy figure was forced to retreat step by step by the sword intent, its body covered in wounds and its power of the void greatly depleted.

He knew that if he continued fighting, he would surely die. A glint of madness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly leaped into a huge ice crevice at the bottom of the valley.

"Trying to escape into the void rift?"

Sword Master snorted coldly, his sword intent surging, transforming into a long cyan rope that wrapped around the black figure's ankle.

With a scream, the shadowy figure was pulled back into the air by the long rope. The power of the void around it erupted, and it actually tried to self-destruct to escape.

"court death!"

Sword Master's eyes turned cold, and the long rope of sword intent tightened abruptly, forcibly suppressing the black shadow's self-destructive power.

Just at this time,

A deep roar suddenly came from the depths of the ice crevice, and a void aura even denser than that of the Ice Fiend King surged out. A huge black tentacle suddenly reached out and grabbed at the Sword Master.
