Wild Dogs

If the ice toad continues to chase, he really will be helpless.

However, as long as the ice toad can stop, he will have a great chance.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yang clenched his fists.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a large amount of essence blood immediately gushed from his fingertips.

After hovering in mid-air for a moment, the essence of blood flew directly behind them.

It turned into a blood-red mark.

"Does your stuff really work?"

Xue Ming looked at the blood-red mark and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In his view, the blood-red mark was useless.

"What do you know? This is my bloodstain."

"Although I am only at the Core Formation stage now, the power of this blood seal is still very strong."

"It should be fine to wait the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

Upon hearing that he could only delay for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xue Ming couldn't help but shake his head.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is no different from the time it takes to cook a single cup of tea.

However, Xue Ming also knew that now was not the time to dwell on things.

The most urgent thing is to escape as soon as possible.

Without hesitation, he let out a sharp shout and accelerated forward once more.

After the ice crystal toad rushed to the blood seals, the blood seals immediately transformed into blood-red chains.

It coiled around the ice crystal toad.

Although these chains are very thin, they look quite powerful.

The blood-red chains then temporarily and tightly bound the ice toad within them.

This rendered it unable to move for a time.

Seeing this, Xuan Yang said with considerable pride.

"How about that? Wasn't that a great move?"

"Not bad, that trick of yours is pretty good."

Xue Ming praised from the side.

He was clearly very satisfied with Xuan Yang's move.

"Of course."

"How did you manage to do that?"

"This guy already has the strength equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage."

"The methods of ordinary Core Formation cultivators should be ineffective."

Xue Ming said with some surprise.

"A move from an ordinary Core Formation cultivator would naturally have no effect, but this is no ordinary move."

"This move of mine comes at the cost of my lifeblood."

"Don't be fooled by those simple bloodstains; they are marks I left with my own lifeblood."

"Even if I use it several times in a row, it will cause problems. Temporarily controlling a Nascent Soul level ice toad is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

Xuan Yang himself was a Nascent Soul cultivator before, so of course he knew how to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators.

His essence and blood were also much stronger than those of ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

That's why they were able to barely control the ice toad; otherwise, the essence and blood of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator would not have achieved such an effect.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming didn't mince words and didn't press for further details.

He waved his hand forward.

"Quick, let's speed up and get out of here as soon as possible."

"As long as we get fifty miles away from that iceberg, there won't be any problems."

With that, Xue Ming led Yang Fan to accelerate forward.

After a short while, the Ice Toad finally broke free from the blood seal's restraints.

But by this time, the three of them had already rushed fifty miles away.

The ice toad could only return dejectedly.

Xuan Yang was somewhat surprised to see this.

"Why did it stop chasing us after we were fifty miles away? What happened?"

Although this is a good thing, Xuan Yang is really curious about it.

Xue Ming, who was standing to the side, smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know about that, but I walked through this ice field last time and know about the ice toad."

Hearing this, Xuan Yang snorted coldly.

"Knowing about the ice toads here, you're most likely the one who harmed others to achieve this, right?"

Hearing this, Xue Ming chuckled softly.

"You don't need to know how I know that, I just know that it's safe fifty miles away from here."

He then shook his head repeatedly and continued to accelerate forward.

Seeing this, Xuan Yang could only shake his head repeatedly and follow Xue Ming as he rushed forward.

While rushing, Xuan Yang inquired about Xue Ming.

"By the way, we've come this far now, we should be more than halfway there, right?"

Hearing this, Xue Ming sneered.

"How could we be more than halfway there? We've only gone about a third of the way, and there are still a few troubles ahead."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yang's expression changed.

"This is so troublesome. There are still a few more obstacles ahead. If we don't hurry, it will be too late to get what's inside."

Keep in mind that it only takes ten days in total, and the round trip involved a lot more trouble than expected.

Hearing this, Xue Ming smiled.

"Don't worry about that. There will still be some troubles later, but there shouldn't be many other difficulties along the way."

"Let's hurry, there's an ice storm ahead. Once we get through it, there will be a smooth road ahead."

"All right."

Xuan Yang could only shake his head, then looked ahead with some worry.

"Although I don't know how strong the ice storm you mentioned is, judging from the situation in recent years, the difficulties in this secret realm are getting more and more difficult. We need to think of a way."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming shook his head.

"You don't need to worry about that. I've already prepared everything in advance, so there won't be any problems."

Seeing Xue Ming say this, Xuan Yang could only nod.

The three of them continued on their way.

This time, they walked for a whole day before gradually coming to a stop.

The treasure that Yang Fan used to resist the cold air was no longer able to withstand the surrounding cold.

The cold here was so intense that even they had to use their spiritual energy to resist it.

This was something Yang Fan found hard to bear.

With his Foundation Establishment stage strength, he should be able to hold on for a while longer.

However, he is only at the first or second level of the Qi Refining stage on the surface, and persisting for too long would easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, after advancing for a day, Yang Fan suggested taking a break.

Seeing this, Xue Ming snorted coldly.

"Rest? What are you resting for? If you rest any longer, we'll be too late."

"How about this, I'll use the snow cocoon to protect you again and carry you forward."

After saying that, Xue Ming released the snow cocoon again, protecting Yang Fan inside, and then rushed forward with the snow cocoon.

This was the moment Yang Fan had been waiting for. With Xue Ming protecting him, the journey would be much safer.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yang Fan's lips.

But thinking about the troubles he was about to encounter, Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh again.

This matter may seem easy, but the more you delve into it, the more trouble you'll encounter.

Just as Yang Fan was pondering, Xuan Yang, who was standing to the side, looked ahead.

"Look, isn't that the ice storm you mentioned over there?"

Following the direction Xuan Yang pointed, Yang Fan looked over.

This time, the snow cocoon was made much thinner than before, and he could still barely see what was happening outside.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Fan saw swirling winds blowing back and forth not far ahead.

The swirling wind, mixed with ice crystals, appeared incredibly powerful.

"Can we really get through this safely?"

Looking at the enormous whirlwind that blotted out the sky, Xuan Yang couldn't help but gasp.
