When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

The scorpion demon turned and strode quickly into the enormous ice cave.

The cave's interior is surprisingly a natural underground karst cave.

The surrounding area was filled with crystal-clear icicles, which emitted a faint blue glow under the refraction of the dim light.

As they went deeper, the scorpion demon's breathing became increasingly rapid.

He could clearly sense that the spiritual energy permeating the air had become so dense as to be outrageous.

"It really is this place! The secret location recorded in ancient texts!"

Finally, at the deepest part of the cave, he stopped.

In front of him hung an ice-colored stalactite several meters long.

At the tip of the stalactite, a drop of milky-white liquid, radiating astonishing spiritual energy, hung precariously.

In a natural depression beneath the stalactite, a small puddle of water had accumulated, with an estimated number of at least a hundred drops of this liquid!

"【Eternal Mystic Ice Milk】!!!"

The Scorpion Demon trembled with excitement, his eyes filled with undisguised fervor.

This is truly a rare treasure of heaven and earth!

Only one drop falls a year!

Its effects are comparable to top-grade fifth-rank spiritual liquid!

For a fifth-grade Grandmaster attempting to break through to the next realm, this is absolutely a flawless treasure!

Even when diluted a hundredfold, it can still be used to refine top-grade pills.

Without hesitation, he took out a top-quality mutton-fat jade bottle and carefully collected every drop of the spiritual milk from the pit.

However, that's not enough!

The Scorpion Demon took a deep breath, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes, and slammed a palm down hard on the massive stalactite.

"Bang!"

The stalactites shattered instantly.

In the center of that shattered stone core, a fist-sized, dazzling spiritual treasure, its entire body the color of ice jade, floated quietly!

"This...this is..."

The Scorpion Demon gasped, completely stunned.

【Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Jade】!

A supreme spiritual treasure nurtured by heaven and earth!

If a martial artist refines it, they will not only undergo a complete transformation, but also double the speed of their ice-type cultivation techniques or greatly increase the power of their ice-type supernatural abilities!

Such a heaven-defying treasure would be so powerful that even a sixth-grade Martial King would risk everything to snatch it if he saw it!

"Hahaha!!!"

He reached out and grabbed Lingbao, finally unable to contain himself and burst into wild laughter, the sound echoing throughout the empty cave.

"Heaven is helping me!"

"With this Ice Marrow Jade and Mystic Ice Milk, my breakthrough to the sixth-grade Martial King is just around the corner!"

However, just as the Scorpion Demon was immersed in the ecstasy of about to reach the pinnacle of martial arts...

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted outside the cave!

Immediately afterwards, the faint sounds of Blood Butcher's furious roar and the clash of weapons could be heard.

"Um?!"

The Scorpion Demon's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face instantly darkened.

"What's going on? Who is the third brother fighting with?"

He quickly stored the treasure in his storage ring, his true energy surging, and he rushed towards the cave entrance with murderous intent.

"Whoever dares to ruin my plans at this time, they shall die!"

……

Outside the ice cave.

"A fifth-tier, seventh-star beast is indeed troublesome; it almost got me thrown in!"

Xue Tu sat cross-legged on the spot, stuffed two Qi-nourishing pills into his mouth, and was about to close his eyes to regulate his breathing.

However, at that very moment!

"Whoosh!"

Amidst the swirling snow, a round bead crackling with violent lightning landed at their feet.

"Tian Lei Zi?! Oh no!"

Blood Butcher's pupils constricted sharply, and he instinctively tried to retreat rapidly.

However, his internal energy had long been depleted, and his reaction was ultimately a beat too slow.

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening explosion rang out!

The blinding lightning, mixed with raging flames, instantly melted the ice and snow within a radius of several meters!

"Aaaaaah!"

Blood Butcher let out a shrill scream as he was blasted away like a broken sack, crashing heavily against the ice wall.

When he struggled to his feet, he looked horribly horrified. His right cheek was almost blown apart, the wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and his eyeballs had burst open, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.

"Who?! Who dares to plot against me?!"

He, the dignified Third Elder of the Purple Scorpion Sect, almost capsized in a ditch!

Two tall, slender figures walked through the snow in the wind and snow.

"A martial arts academy student?!"

Upon seeing the newcomer's attire, Blood Butcher paused for a moment, then the veins on his forehead bulged out.

He was always the one hunting down these trainees!

But now they almost fell into the hands of those two little beasts!

"I'm going to skin you alive!!!"

Without saying a word, Xue Tu instantly transformed into a blinding streak of blood light and pounced towards the two of them.

Faced with the desperate counterattack of a fifth-grade Grandmaster, Jiang Feng and Li Changsheng showed no panic whatsoever.

The two continued walking, exchanging a knowing glance.

Kill this guy first!

"Clang!"

A clear, crisp sword cry echoed across the snowy plains.

Li Changsheng drew his longsword, which gleamed with a bluish light, with a backhand motion.

"That fat guy didn't give me enough of a beating, so you, this half-crippled piece of trash, are here to give me a good workout!"

"Whoosh!"

His figure moved like a gentle breeze as he charged forward, facing the blood-red light of Blood Butcher.

The longsword in his hand instantly transformed into a vast net of azure swords, and the sharp sword energy instantly blocked all of Blood Butcher's attack routes.

"Die!"

Blood Butcher's single remaining eye was filled with ferocity, and the poisoned blade in his hand transformed into a poisonous dragon, attempting to tear apart Li Changsheng's sword net.

"when!"

The poisoned blade collided with the cyan longsword, and a shockwave sent a jolt through the area, causing Blood Butcher's tiger mouth to crack open.

"How can this sword energy be so strong?!"

Before he could recover from his shock, Jiang Feng's ghostly figure had already appeared beside him.

There are no fancy moves, only the purest, most violent boxing techniques!

Jiang Feng clenched his right fist, and with the terrifying amplification of his Transformation Force and Fifth Grade Liquid True Qi, he unleashed a punch that even created a shockwave in the air!

"Bang!"

Blood Butcher hastily raised his left arm to block, but only heard a crisp "crack" as his arm bone was instantly broken!

"puff!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

"A fifth-grade Grandmaster!"

"Both of those little bastards are fifth-grade Grandmasters!"

Blood Butcher was terrified.

If he were in his prime, he might have been able to use his shrewd experience to contend with these two prodigies.

However, he is now exhausted and seriously injured. Facing the siege of these two ferocious wolves, his only fate is death!

In this life-or-death moment, Blood Butcher no longer cared about saving face and roared with all his might towards the direction of the ice cave:

"Big brother! Help me!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"【Blood Transformation and Shadowless Escape】!"

His body instantly transformed into a thick cloud of blood mist, attempting to escape into the snowstorm at an incredible speed.

"Blood Escape Technique?"

Jiang Feng's Heaven-Burning True Qi erupted suddenly, accompanied by thunderous sounds beneath his feet.

【Soaring Dragon Technique】!

"Whoosh!"

His speed was even three points faster than Blood Butcher's escape technique that burned his life essence!

"[God-Burying Ape Fist]!"

The raging true energy transformed into a roaring phantom of a divine ape, which, with overwhelming destructive power, slammed its fist into the center of the blood mist!

"No!!!"

A desperate scream of bloodthirst echoed from within the blood mist.

"Bang!!!"

The blood mist was instantly shattered, and Blood Butcher's emaciated form reappeared, frozen stiffly in mid-air.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There, a terrifying blood hole the size of a bowl suddenly appeared.

"No... I can't die..."

The light in Blood Butcher's single eye quickly dissipated, his lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but only a large amount of blood gushed out.

"thump!"

The third elder of the Purple Scorpion Sect collapsed onto the snow, twitched twice, and then died.

Kill progress: (4/5)!

And just as Blood Butcher fell to the ground.

"boom!"

The scorpion demon transformed into a streak of purple light and burst out of the cave.

However, when he saw what was in front of him, his expression changed drastically!

"Third brother!!!"

The scorpion demon's eyes were bloodshot and bulging with rage as it let out a furious roar!
