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

Lingguan Mountain stands majestically, piercing the clouds.

At the foot of the mountain, shrouded in mist, a winding stone path can be vaguely seen, like a ladder to heaven, stretching to the horizon.

"Looks like we're the first ones to arrive."

Bing Tianxiao stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the towering peaks that reached into the clouds.

Luo Li, standing beside him, remained silent, only gripping the Luo Shen Sword tightly in her hand, her cold gaze sweeping around, wary of any potential danger.

"Let's go, since we're here, let's go up and grab a good spot."

Bing Tianxiao clapped his hands and took the lead in stepping onto the moss-covered stone steps.

The two moved with lightning speed, climbing rapidly up the steep mountain path.

However, just as they were about to break through the clouds and reach a wide platform halfway up the mountain.

A clear and arrogant voice suddenly came from ahead:

"Hey, isn't this the guy who only knows how to hide in the shadows and shoot arrows? I didn't expect you guys to be so quick to run away."

Bing Tianxiao paused, then looked up.

On the platform ahead, more than a dozen figures stood ready, blocking the way.

The leader was a girl dressed in golden armor.

She was tall and slender with stunning beauty. Her long golden hair danced in the wind, making her look like a majestic female warrior.

She held a golden spear in her hand, the tip of which was pointed directly at Bing Tianxiao.

Those golden eyes were full of provocation and disdain.

Wen Qingxuan!

Besides Ji Xuan, he is now the leader of another powerful force on the Spirit Road!

Behind her stood a dozen or so powerful young men and women, each with sharp eyes; the weakest of them were all level three spirit bodies.

"Wen Qingxuan?"

Bing Tianxiao raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over the girl's curvaceous figure before he whistled and said with an irritating grin:

"What? Miss Wen, are you planning to set up a tollbooth here? But I didn't bring any toll money, so how about... I pay you with my body?"

"Shameless!"

Wen Qingxuan's pretty face turned cold, and the spear in her hand suddenly trembled.

A sharp spear light erupted instantly, piercing straight towards Bing Tianxiao's face.

"I've heard you have a sharp tongue, so today I'll teach you a lesson!"

"clang!"

A clear, metallic clang rang out.

Luo Li appeared in front of Bing Tianxiao without anyone noticing, her Luo Shen Sword steadily blocking Wen Qingxuan's spear.

The two attacks collided, stirring up a gust of wind that made their clothes flutter loudly.

Wen Qingxuan looked at Luo Li, who was standing in front of Bing Tianxiao, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She sheathed her spear and gave a cold snort:

"Luo Li, you've really fallen from grace. You're actually willing to be a henchman for this kind of scoundrel?"

"He's not a scoundrel."

Luo Li said calmly, without lowering her sword in the slightest:

"He is my friend, and also my...partner."

"partner?"

Wen Qingxuan chuckled as if she had heard a funny joke:

"Him? A petty scoundrel who only knows how to launch sneak attacks!"

Her gaze passed over Luo Li and landed directly on Bing Tianxiao behind her, her eyes full of provocation:

"What? Bing Tianxiao, you're just so comfortable hiding behind a woman?"

"Shut up!"

Luo Liqing shouted and shot out like an arrow.

The Luoshen Sword in his hand transformed into countless sword shadows, aiming straight for Wen Qingxuan's vital points.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"

Wen Qingxuan sneered and advanced instead of retreating.

The spear in her hand moved like a golden dragon emerging from the sea, its powerful strokes carrying an overwhelming force with every strike.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sounds of metal clashing were incessant, and sparks flew everywhere.

After just a few rounds, Luo Li felt immense pressure.

Wen Qingxuan's power far exceeded her expectations!

Each shot struck, making her hands go numb and her blood surge.

"A level four spirit?"

Luo Li was slightly startled.

Within this spiritual path, those who can reach the peak of the third-level spiritual body are extremely rare.

Unexpectedly, Wen Qingxuan has also entered the realm of a level four spiritual body!

"You only find out now? Too late!"

Wen Qingxuan smiled proudly, the spear in her hand shone brightly, and an even more powerful aura burst forth from her body, dispersing some of the surrounding clouds and mist.

She didn't rush to chase after Luo Li, but instead turned her gaze back to the boy who had been standing at the back watching the show:

"See that? That's the difference! Bing Tianxiao, how long are you going to keep hiding?"

Do you want to just stand by and watch your 'partner' get beaten down by me?

"Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Wen, your tongue has really gotten better."

Bing Tianxiao slowly walked out from behind Luo Li.

He casually stuck the longbow into the ground, then cracked his wrist, making a series of snapping sounds.

"I was originally going to let you jump around a little longer, but since you're in such a hurry to get beaten up, I'll grant your wish."

Bing Tianxiao walked to Luo Li's side, gently patted her shoulder, and gestured for her to step back.

Luo Li glanced at him, and although she was a little worried, she obediently stepped aside.

"A level four spirit, huh? Is that so impressive?"

Bing Tianxiao looked at Wen Qingxuan, a playful smile curving his lips.

The next instant, his figure vanished from the spot!

fast!

Incredibly fast!

Wen Qingxuan only felt a blur before her eyes, and a sharp gust of wind had already struck her face.

She was startled and instinctively raised her gun to block.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud bang.

Wen Qingxuan felt a tremendous force coming from her, and she was actually forced back half a step!

Bing Tianxiao's figure had already appeared beside her, a cold, gleaming dagger in his hand, which he thrust straight at her ribs!

"So fast!"

Wen Qingxuan was secretly alarmed and withdrew some of her contempt.

With a delicate shout, she swung her spear, which, like a golden python, completely neutralized Bing Tianxiao's attacks.

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

One had a domineering and powerful marksmanship; the other had unpredictable and ruthless movements.

For a time, they were evenly matched!

However, just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from below the mountain path.

"Looks like our audience has arrived."

Bing Tianxiao swayed and instantly broke away from the battle, retreating back to Luo Li's side.

Wen Qingxuan did not pursue, but instead put away her gun and stood still, her gaze coldly fixed on the mountain path below.

Several figures were seen rushing towards them at high speed.

The leader was none other than Ji Xuan, dressed in white and exuding a gentle and refined air!

Just as Ji Xuan stood on the platform, heavy footsteps sounded behind him again.

"Huff...huff...this damn mountain is so high!"

At this moment, two more teenagers, one thin and one strong, arrived.

It was Mu Chen and Zhan Xiong.

"Oh, looks like everyone's here."

Bing Tianxiao whistled, his gaze sweeping over Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan, and Mu Chen.

All the people whose names Linglu mentioned came.

Wen Qingxuan, Ji Xuan, Luo Li, Mu Chen, and him.

The number one of the five guardian lands!
