The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

The Mirror of Judgment.

The Spirit Path, the final trial ground.

The air was filled with the smell of decaying leaves and blood. There was no spiritual energy here, only the most primal instincts of killing and survival.

"Sigh, I should have just stayed home."

Bing Tianxiao sat in front of the campfire, with a large ice crystal bow beside him.

He kept muttering to himself while grilling the meat.

Even after more than a decade in this world, he still hasn't let go of it.

That's right, he's a time traveler.

In my past life, I was accidentally hit by a stroke of great luck the moment I went out.

When he awoke again, he became a child in a branch of the Ice Spirit Clan.

In the vast world, the Ice Spirit Clan is a renowned and ancient powerful clan with unfathomable strength. There are even super powerhouses at the Heavenly Sovereign level within the clan.

However, this supreme glory has little to do with Bing Tianxiao now.

His branch had declined thousands of years ago and had been squeezed out of the core ancestral land of the Ice Spirit Clan.

The strongest member of the current Cold Abyss branch is his grandfather, a supreme being.

In some small worlds, a supreme being might be able to reign supreme, but in the Ice Spirit Clan, where powerful beings abound, they don't even have the right to return to the Ice Spirit Clan's ancestral land to acknowledge their ancestors.

Under these circumstances, although Bing Tianxiao was very talented, his family did not offer him any opportunities.

Over the past ten years, this is the first time we've brought him to this spirit road.

Yes, it's the Spirit Road that Mu Chen participated in in the original story.

The firelight flickered, and the grease dripped onto the charcoal, making a sizzling sound and filling the air with a fragrant aroma.

Just as Bing Tianxiao was about to put the roasted meat into his mouth.

A pure killing intent suddenly erupted from the darkness behind him.

"call out!"

A jet-black sword light, like a venomous snake in the night, pierced straight into Bing Tianxiao's back.

This sword strike was ruthless and precise, clearly aimed at taking a life.

"Sigh, I can't even eat in peace."

Bing Tianxiao didn't even turn his head, as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

Just as the sword tip was about to touch his clothes, his body tilted slightly to the left at an extremely strange angle.

The sword's edge missed its mark, barely grazing his ribs.

The attacker clearly hadn't expected his fatal blow to miss, and with a flick of his wrist...

The jet-black longsword swept across instantly, changing from a thrust to a slash, heading straight for Bing Tianxiao's neck.

"Killing me won't be that easy."

Bing Tianxiao's eyes were cold.

In places like the Spirit Road where spiritual power cannot be used, what matters is physical strength and reaction speed.

As a member of the Ice Spirit Clan, even from a branch, his physical constitution far surpassed that of ordinary people, not to mention the grueling training he underwent for survival over the past decade.

Instead of backing down, he suddenly lunged forward.

In the instant that black longsword swept across.

Bing Tianxiao's left hand shot out like lightning, his two fingers precisely gripping the sword.

Then, with a flick of the wrist, a subtle force vibrated along the blade of the sword.

"Ding!"

A crisp, metallic clang rang out.

The attacker felt a sudden numbness in his hand, and his longsword almost slipped from his grasp.

Before the other party could react, Bing Tianxiao's right hand had already grabbed the wrist of the person holding the sword, twisted it, and pulled them into his arms.

"Well……"

A clear, slightly painful groan rang out.

The next second, the figure who launched the sneak attack lost his balance and was easily pinned down by Bing Tianxiao, who twisted his arms behind his back and pressed him onto his knees.

It's like an adult disciplining a disobedient child.

"Clang!"

The black longsword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, where Bing Tianxiao casually hooked it with his foot and stepped on it.

"Hey friend, there's a time and place for fighting, isn't there? I haven't even eaten my meat yet..."

As Bing Tianxiao spoke, he casually looked down.

However, when he could see the person in his arms by the light of the campfire, his words came to an abrupt halt.

It was a young girl.

She had a rare head of long, silver hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, shimmering with a mysterious luster in the firelight.

Although he appeared somewhat disheveled after being captured, his exquisitely handsome face remained calm and icy.

In those clear, glassy eyes, there was no fear, only stubbornness and a hint of shame and annoyance.

Most importantly, Bing Tianxiao glanced at the heavy and sharp black longsword at his feet.

The sword has an ancient and simple appearance, and it faintly exudes a kind of heart-palpitating aura. Even without the activation of spiritual power, it is clear that it is no ordinary item.

Silver hair, stunning beauty, black sword...

Bing Tianxiao's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Luo...Luo Li?"

His heart skipped a beat, and the time traveler's radar went off incessantly.

Could she be targeting me? But I killed those guys purely for revenge!

She didn't say a single word back then...

At this moment, although Luo Li was restrained, her body was tense, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack.

She stared intently at Bing Tianxiao, her voice as cold as an icy spring: "Let go."

Bing Tianxiao blinked, glanced at the Luo Shen Sword at his feet, and then at the struggling future Luo Emperor in his arms.

Suddenly, the grilled meat in my hand didn't taste so good anymore.

Good grief, she's really got her eye on me!

"I won't let you go! First, tell me why you wanted to kill me!"

Bing Tianxiao asked in an annoyed tone.

"I, Luo Li, never owe anyone anything, and I don't allow anyone to disturb my cultivation."

Since that's the case, I might as well kill you. That way, I won't have to constantly think about repaying you for saving me.

Luo Li's voice was cold, yet somewhat hesitant.

Bing Tianxiao was dumbfounded, looking at the stunningly beautiful girl in his arms as if he were looking at an alien.

What kind of top-level understanding is this?

In order to avoid owing favors, the debtor was dealt with, and the debt was settled?

What kind of logical genius is this?! Is the education of the Luo Shen clan this hardcore?

"Um... lady, how about we make a deal?"

Bing Tianxiao took a deep breath and said sincerely, "I don't need you to repay me, really, not at all!"

"Please don't kill me! I'm really afraid of dying! My grandfather is waiting for me to take care of him at home..."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Li, who was still trying to struggle, visibly stiffened.

For the first time, a look of bewilderment and astonishment appeared in her clear, glassy eyes.

In her mind, those who undergo trials on the spiritual path are either arrogant or scheming.

This was the first time she had ever seen anything like it.

"you……"

Luo Li's red lips parted slightly, seemingly unsure how to respond. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "You saved me, that's the reason. If I don't repay you, my heart will be flawed."

"Flaws my foot!"

Bing Tianxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he didn't loosen his grip, afraid that this tiger girl would suddenly hurt him. "Just think of me as a stone by the roadside, or a big tree."

I accidentally shielded you from the wind and sheltered you from the rain. Do you expect me to cut down the tree to absolve myself of the debt of gratitude?

Luo Li frowned slightly, seemingly seriously considering the plausibility of the metaphor "Bing Tianxiao".
