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

"It seems that this final battle has only just begun."

Bing Tianxiao looked at the winding mountain road, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He turned to look at Mu Chen and grinned:

"Brother Mu Chen, are you interested in joining forces?"

"Join forces?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Those dark eyes lingered on Bing Tianxiao's face for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Bing Tianxiao wasn't in a hurry; he simply smiled and continued:

"They all have quite a few men. Although we're not afraid of a one-on-one fight, if these guys are determined to use sheer numbers, that could be quite troublesome, wouldn't it?"

If we join forces, even if only temporarily, we can first eliminate Ji Xuan's henchmen.

"For the rest of the journey, let's each rely on our own abilities, shall we?"

That is indeed a very tempting offer.

Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li's strength is obvious to all, and with Mu Chen's help, they can definitely roam freely on Lingguan Mountain.

However, after pondering for a moment, Mu Chen gently shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Bing."

Mu Chen's voice was calm and gentle, yet it conveyed an undeniable confidence:

"However, I think I'll pass."

"Oh?"

Bing Tianxiao raised an eyebrow in surprise, seemingly not expecting Mu Chen to refuse so readily. "What, Brother Mu Chen, don't you trust me?"

"No, that's not it."

Mu Chen smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping towards the direction where Ji Xuan and the others had disappeared, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes:

"However, from my observation, although Ji Xuan has recovered, he has not yet reached the level of a fourth-level spiritual body."

"In other words, he's not yet in a position where I need to find help to deal with him."

Mu Chen turned his head to look at Bing Tianxiao, his tone carrying a hint of youthful arrogance and frankness:

"Besides, the purpose of my journey into the Spiritual Path is to hone myself. If I were to seek help from others every time I encountered a difficulty, then this training would lose its meaning."

"As for those subordinates..."

Mu Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile:

"If I can't even handle that rabble, what right do I have to compete for the final Spirit Crown?"

Hearing Mu Chen's words, the surprise in Bing Tianxiao's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of admiration.

He gave Mu Chen a deep look, then burst into laughter and clapped his hands:

"Good! That's impressive! No wonder you can make that brat Ji Xuan suffer!"

"Since Brother Mu Chen is so confident, then I won't force you."

Bing Tianxiao shrugged and said with a relaxed expression:

"However, even though we're not joining forces, if Ji Xuan really resorts to underhanded tactics, I won't stand idly by."

After all, compared to that hypocrite, I still find Brother Mu Chen much more pleasing to the eye.

"Thank you very much."

Mu Chen cupped his hands in greeting and said no more.

Together with Zhan Xiong, they sped off along the mountain path.

Watching Mu Chen's departing figure, Luo Li, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke:

"He's very strong."

"Yes, very strong."

Bing Tianxiao nodded, his playful expression fading, and his eyes grew serious.

"Moreover, this kid's temperament is even more terrifying than his strength."

Ji Xuan is likely to suffer a major setback this time.

"Let's go, we should get going. Otherwise, the best show will be over before everyone else does it."

Bing Tianxiao stretched and waved to Luo Li.

The two moved swiftly and disappeared into the vast forest.

Lingguan Mountain is steep and full of strangely shaped rocks.

Along the way, not only are there powerful spirit beasts, but also various natural dangers.

But for Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li, these obstacles are clearly not enough.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow pierced the air and precisely struck the eye socket of an Ironback Wolf that was attempting a sneak attack.

Before its massive body could even touch the ground, a silver sword light flashed past, severing its hard head.

"This is the third one."

Bing Tianxiao casually slung the longbow back onto his back and looked at the spirit beast that had collapsed and was convulsing.

"The spirit beasts of Lingguan Mountain are nothing special."

Luo Li didn't speak, but silently sheathed her sword.

Those glassy eyes remained calm, as if the sharp sword strike just now had not come from her hand.

The two advanced with unstoppable momentum, and the obstacles that would deter ordinary level three spirits were as fragile as paper in front of them.

Soon, they passed through the clouds halfway up the mountain and arrived at a relatively flat and open area.

However, upon arriving here, both of them paused slightly.

Bing Tianxiao slowly raised his head and looked ahead.

In the center of the open space, on a huge blue stone, stood a graceful figure clad in golden armor and holding a long spear.

The golden armor gleamed in the sunlight, outlining the girl's graceful yet powerful figure.

Her long, flowing hair was casually tied behind her head, fluttering in the wind and adding to her dashing appearance.

It's clearly still Wen Qingxuan!

Upon seeing the newcomer, Wen Qingxuan narrowed her slightly elongated phoenix eyes.

"We've met again. Looks like we'll have to settle this once and for all!"

Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried an innate arrogance and domineering air.

Lingguan Mountain is so big, yet we still ran into each other.

This shows that even God wants a winner to be decided between them!

Looking at the powerful woman before him, Bing Tianxiao couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey Wen, this road is so wide, can't we just keep to ourselves? Why do we have to make things so tense?"

He scratched his head, turned to look at Luo Li beside him, and said with a wry smile:

"We still have to beat this woman up. How come all the women on this spiritual path are more and more vicious than the last?"

Luo Li ignored his complaints.

She simply looked at Wen Qingxuan quietly, a faint fighting spirit igniting in her glassy eyes.

"She's yours."

Luo Li's voice remained cold, yet it carried an undeniable firmness.

She slowly drew the Luoshen Sword, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground.

A sharp sword intent erupted instantly, enveloping the dozen or so subordinates behind Wen Qingxuan:

"I'll take care of the rest."

Upon hearing this, Bing Tianxiao paused for a moment, then grinned, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes:

"Well done, Lady Luo Li, that's impressive!"

He took down his longbow again, his gaze fixed on the golden figure, his eyes gradually sharpening:

"In that case, let's finish this quickly!"

"Excuse me, Ms. Wen!"

Before the words were even finished, the bowstring trembled, and a sharp arrow shot out like a meteor, heading straight for Wen Qingxuan's face!

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of Lingguan Mountain.

Mu Chen's figure stopped on a protruding rock.

He was slightly out of breath, but his eyes were fixed on the familiar figure in front of him.

There, Ji Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, which stood out starkly against the desolate mountain path.

It was clear that Mu Chen and Ji Xuan had run into each other.
