I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

During this crucial period, I was unable to be with her...

"Hmm? That's not right..." "Huh? Mo Xin, you?"

In the next instant, the two said in unison, "The aura on your body isn't your own." "The Raiche is still in my hands, Mo Xin, how did you get out?"

89. Future Prospects

Mo Xin could clearly sense that Yan Ziming's current strength was indeed enough to reach the pinnacle of the world, but this strength did not entirely belong to her.

Yan Ziming, however, was even more surprised than she was.

Generally speaking, Mo Xin and Lei Qie cannot appear at the same time, because Mo Xin's true form is Lei Qie. Even if she can conjure up a phantom, it is just a phantom without a physical form.

But now she's shaking Yan Ziming's shoulders, which is definitely not normal.

"what's wrong with you?"

"what's wrong with you?"

The two asked at the same time, both startled, then burst into laughter, their melodious laughter filling the solemn battlefield.

call--

The ancient tree in front of him launched another attack, with dozens of beams of light converging and blasting towards him. A burst of radiant light erupted from the ground in front of Yan Ziming, like blooming spider lilies, engulfing the beams of light.

"Whoa whoa!"

Mo Xin was startled by the sudden attack and realized that it was not the time to reminisce. Turning her head, she saw an ancient tree hundreds of meters tall rooted a thousand meters away in front of her, its branches hanging down to cover the sky. It seemed to be right in front of her and exuded a power no less than Yan Zimo's.

"What's this?!"

"The aurora." Yan Ziming answered calmly, his gaze fixed on the aurora, wary of its movements.

"Huh?! The aurora? Is that the aurora?!" Mo Xin, who had some understanding of modern history, was shocked and found it unbelievable.

However, she was only surprised for a moment before asking, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Hehe...you're helping me out right now." Yan Ziming's gaze fell on the ground around him.

Mo Xin looked in that direction.

Within a radius of several dozen meters around Yan Ziming, the ground was covered with branches, the ends of which were adorned with crystals, just like those hanging on the aurora borealis.

These were left behind when the aurora fought with her. Don't be fooled by the fact that these branches are so delicate and fragile, they can shatter the ground a hundred meters away in one go. Ordinary attacks can't even scrape off the layer of bruises on them.

Fortunately, Yan Zimo had a powerful weapon like the Thunder Cutter; otherwise, he would definitely have suffered in such close-quarters combat.

"Your current strength...?"

"Oh, damn it... Xiao Xi, you should explain it to her."

Yan Ziming let the useless Xi explain, because she was focused on fighting the aurora.

Aurora seemed to have realized long ago that the reason why the useless Xi was able to go from being defeated at the beginning to the current stalemate was all because of Yan Zimo, so it launched a relentless attack on her, wanting to kill her.

If we just kill her, the situation can go back to the way it was at the beginning.

Aurora is quite cunning and its attacks are unpredictable. Several times, Yan Ziming almost fell into its trap and was killed by it. Fortunately, Yan Ziming can regenerate, otherwise he would have been finished.

The useless Xi pieced together a story of what had happened over the past few days for Mo Xin, and after listening, Mo Xin said:

"Hey... I see."

Huh... why have you suddenly become so cold?

Yan Ziming felt uncomfortable under her gaze and shifted his body awkwardly. "What's wrong? Just say it."

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about how popular you are, Zimo."

"I feel like you forgot to mention something."

"Hmph!" Mo Xin ignored him and went back into the Thunder Cutter.

"Is she angry?" asked the useless Xi.

"I guess so?"

Yan Ziming felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't meant anything by it, so why was he jealous?

Immediately afterwards, the intense heat emanating from the Raikiri blade drew Yan Ziming's attention away from her. She noticed that the Raikiri was emitting a faint light, and it was beginning to absorb some of the energy from the earth's veins, strengthening itself.

【Mo Xin is also working hard in her own way...】 Yan Ziming couldn't help but smile.

She wasn't jealous; rather, she felt a sense of crisis, fearing that Xi, a useless person, would replace her, which she considered indispensable.

[In this respect, she's just as idiotic as Qianxue; she loves to overthink things.]

"Mo Xin." Yan Ziming suddenly called out Mo Xin's name.

buzz-

Raichee trembled slightly twice.

Yan Ziming asked with a smile, "How about we have a competition to see who breaks through to the ninth rank first?"

"......Let's compete then, who's afraid of who!" Mo Xin's exasperated voice rang out, and Yan Ziming laughed even more happily, his gaze drifting into the distance.

The road ahead is still long...

..........

boom!

"Woo——"

Chi chi chi......

Multiple mottled and complex roars appeared on the ice field, and an earth-shattering battle was unfolding here. The people led by Yan Shan had gone mad with killing, and each one seemed to want to drag the other down with them.

Their opponent, the Snow Woman, remained standing despite several defeats, appearing each time at her peak.

Although I tried to intercept it during its regeneration phase, the effect was not significant. It could still regenerate at a much greater distance, and its speed was extremely fast, making it too difficult to deal with.

After a fierce battle, the ninth-ranked warriors, including Yan Shan, were nearly exhausted. Coupled with the effects of the extreme cold in the surrounding area, the encirclement was destined to end in failure.

Even Yan Shan had long since reverted to his human form and could no longer maintain it. They swarmed forward and took turns attacking, with one side led by the Great Sage and the National Preceptor, and the other side led by himself, continuing to besiege and kill the Snow Maiden.

"If we still can't find a solution, we'll have no choice but to retreat," Mu Mu said to Yan Shan.

They had long realized that the Snow Woman's regeneration seemed to be related to this ice field; each regeneration meant that the area of ​​the ice field would be reduced.

But what can you do even if you figure it out?

The Snow Woman has had far too much time. In just one year, she has accumulated a wealth of resources. Even though they are surrounding and attacking her, they still cannot see the end of these resources.

Looking at our own side, our fighting strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. We estimate that after this round, we will no longer have the strength to continue the encirclement and attack.

"Meow." Xiao Ze, who was hanging on Mu Mu, meowed, leaving Yan Shan completely confused.

"What is she saying?"

"I don't know." Mu Mu shook her head.

Yan Shan had considered using Xiao Ze to defeat Xue Nu like Yong Jing had done, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Even the strongest fighting force is only temporary and cannot truly determine the outcome.

"Meow--"

Xiao Ze broke free from Mu Mu at this moment, his body emitting five-colored light, expanding to nearly a thousand meters, and swept forward.

Chi chi chi.......

The ice field, swept by this light, melted away rapidly without any resistance, like wax meeting a raging fire, a unique phenomenon in this land of ice and snow.

She can now unleash her full power without revealing herself, shocking Yan Shan and the others with her first move.

Unfortunately, Ozawa is still too weak right now; even with that ability, he can't...

"No, you mean to make me...?" Yan Shan's eyes lit up.

If Xiaoze can do this, what if I were to perform such a transformation in the form of a pure-blooded Qilin?

Just thinking about it for a moment made Yan Shan's expression darken.

He would like to do that if he could, but he can't.

Following the direction Yong Jing found by transforming into a pure-blooded Qilin, and after some careful transformation, he broke free from the original framework. Now he has officially embarked on the path of Soul Heaven. The path has been set, and it is difficult to create any more forks.

Doing it again at this point would be tantamount to cutting off one's own future, leaving no possibility of further breakthroughs.

In an instant, a huge flash of light tore through the darkness.

The sky seemed to have split open into an abyss, from which a great being descended, suppressing all living beings.

"Let me do it."

90. Kill streak

"Let me do it."

The moment the sound rang out, the Snow Woman let out a shrill scream, and everyone could hear the immense fear in her voice.

That is a desperate cry that can only be uttered when facing an opponent that is absolutely invincible.

Da... Da... Da...
