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

"The Heavenly Realm?"

Bing Tianxiao chuckled.

Those eyes remained completely unmoved.

He casually grabbed a spirit fruit and tossed it into his mouth, chewing as he said nonchalantly:

"Senior, you underestimate your junior. If he dares to come, I have plenty of ways to deal with him!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Li, who was intently attaching the Star Soul Sword Tassel to the Luo Shen Sword beside him.

Xia Youran looked at the seemingly carefree but actually unfathomable young man in front of her.

A slight ripple stirred in my heart.

Although she didn't know Bing Tianxiao's exact trump card, she could tell from the commotion he caused in Jiuling City.

This person is definitely not someone to be underestimated.

"It seems there's a truly remarkable little monster among this year's freshmen."

Xia Youran sighed inwardly, then smiled broadly, a smile as radiant and captivating as a hundred flowers in bloom.

"Since you're so confident, then I won't worry about it anymore."

Bing Tianxiao glanced at the location of the Shadow Merchant Guild's private room.

Liu Ying, right?

The Shadow Merchant Guild, is it?

You'd better not mess with me, otherwise... I wouldn't mind making this Nine Spirits City even more lively!

……

After the auction ended, Bing Tianxiao stretched and bid farewell to Xia Youran with a relaxed expression.

"Senior, thank you for your hospitality. Although Jiuling City is bustling, there's not much more fun to be had here."

Luo Li and I plan to set off back to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy first thing tomorrow morning.

Xia Youran glanced at the two of them with her beautiful eyes, but did not try to stop them. She simply smiled and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey, junior. If you encounter any trouble, just mention my name... it might help you out for a while."

Bing Tianxiao laughed heartily, waved his hand, and left gracefully with Luo Li.

……

Night falls at the Shadow Merchant Guild branch in Nine Spirits City.

"What did you say?!"

Those two guys are just freshmen at the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy? No background whatsoever?!

Liu Ying's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and he crushed the jade cup in his hand to pieces.

The scout kneeling on the ground trembled: "Yes...yes, young master."

My subordinates investigated extensively and confirmed that they were freshmen this year. Although they were quite well-known within the Spirit Academy, they had no other powerful forces following them.

"You bastard! How dare you play me!"

Anger blazed in Liu Ying's eyes.

He was completely overshadowed by Bing Tianxiao at the auction, and thought the other party was some young master from a reclusive ancient clan. He never expected that they were just two students with no foundation!

"Since you're just a student, don't blame me for being impolite!"

A cruel and lewd smile curled at the corners of Liu Ying's lips as she said in a cold voice:

"Send the order to mobilize the Chamber of Commerce's secret guards! I need fifteen mid-stage Transformation Realm cultivators and five late-stage Transformation Realm cultivators, and I also request Elder Black Shadow to personally take action!"

The scout was shocked upon hearing this: "Elder Black Shadow? He's a near-Heavenly Realm expert! Isn't it a bit too much for him to deal with two freshmen...?"

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit! I must be absolutely certain of success!"

Liu Ying slammed her hand on the table, her eyes flashing with greed and murderous intent:

"Remember, that man, tear him to pieces, and burn his soul to light a sky lantern!"

As for that woman… hehe, capture her alive! This young master wants to give her a good 'training'!

……

The next morning.

Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li left Jiuling City, their figures transforming into streaks of light as they sped towards the direction of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.

About half an hour later, the two arrived at a treacherous canyon called Broken Soul Gorge.

The area is flanked by towering cliffs and jagged rocks, shrouded in mist year-round, giving it an eerie atmosphere.

Bing Tianxiao, who was chatting and laughing with Luo Li, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Luo Li stopped almost simultaneously, her jade-like hand instantly pressing on the hilt of the Luo Shen Sword, her cold eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

"What's wrong?" Luo Li asked softly.

"Someone's here."

Bing Tianxiao's gaze drifted into the mist deep within the canyon. Exclusive! An exclusive interview with Mo Zhi Suo Xiang and behind-the-scenes look at the creation of "The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!", for a limited time only.

Before the words were even finished, astonishing bursts of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the once silent canyon!

Whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of dark figures emerged from the surrounding cliffs and mist like ghosts, instantly blocking all escape routes.

These people all exuded a powerful aura and were filled with murderous intent.

Fifteen of them were experts at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm!

Furthermore, five of them possessed spiritual energy fluctuations that reached the late stage of the Transformation Realm!

Directly in front of this group of men in black, an old man with a withered body and a sinister face slowly stepped out into the air.

His body surged with gray-black spiritual energy, and the oppressive aura he exuded had already surpassed the realm of the Transformation Realm, touching the threshold of the Heavenly Connection Realm—

Quasi-Heavenly Realm!

"Hehehe..."

The old man named Hei Ku let out a sickening laugh, his turbid eyes fixed on Bing Tianxiao:

"You've offended Young Master Liu Ying and think you can just leave? Boy, today, this Soul-Severing Gorge will be your burial ground!"

"As for that little girl..."

The old man's lewd gaze swept over Luo Li. "Young Master said to capture her alive."

Upon hearing this, Bing Tianxiao's smile vanished instantly.

Those eyes, now like ancient ice, stared at the withered old man without a trace of warmth.

"Capture them alive? And then properly 'train' them?"

His voice was deep, each word carrying a chilling killing intent:

With a flick of his right hand, the longbow appeared out of thin air.

This time, he held nothing back.

On the bow, the originally understated and intricate patterns suddenly lit up with a dazzling, eerie blue light.

Bing Tianxiao drew his bowstring taut and unleashed three arrows in quick succession at the group of men in black!

shhhhhh!

Three streaks of dark blue light froze the space in their wake, creating fine cracks.

The three mid-stage Transformation Realm experts who were the first to be hit didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly frozen into ice sculptures by the terrifying cold air.

It was then blasted into countless ice shards by the violent impact of spiritual energy!

At the same time, Luo Li also moved.

Her cool and aloof face remained expressionless, only her beautiful eyes blazing with sword intent.

The Luoshen Sword in her hand emitted a clear and resonant sword cry. The ancient sealing runes on the blade slowly swirled, and then suddenly cracked open with a fissure!

boom!

An indescribable, vast sword aura soared into the sky; it was the majesty of a divine weapon, a sharpness capable of cleaving mountains and rivers!

Luo Li moved like lightning, transforming into a beautiful white sword light.

He charged directly into the group of experts at the late stage of the Transformation Realm.

Where the sword flashed, blood splattered and screams echoed!

Those once invincible late-stage Transformation Realm experts were as fragile as paper under her divine sword, which had been unsealed!

"What?! A divine artifact?! And a divine artifact that has been unsealed?!"

The old man's mocking expression froze instantly, his eyes filled with horror.

He never imagined that these two seemingly ordinary children would possess such a terrifying trump card!

"Damn it! Charge! Kill that man! Seize the artifact!"

He roared madly, his gray-black spiritual energy surging like a tide, trying to suppress the two astonishing auras.

However, it was all too late.

With each tremor of the longbow in Bing Tianxiao's hand, several lives were taken.

The terrifying power of ice seemed endless, turning the entire canyon into an icy inferno.

Luo Li's Luo Shen Sword was even more shrewd, its sword energy cutting through the rock like tofu!

Rumble—!

Under the frenzied onslaught of the two divine weapons.

The Soul-Severing Gorge, which has stood for thousands of years, could not withstand the terrifying energy impact.

The massive cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, countless boulders tumbled down, and the entire canyon trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment!
