Chapter 5216: Choice

ky.Lu XiaTian and the others hadn't even had time to react when they were pulled by the beam of light and thrown into it.The Sky-Devouring Ghost King and the Extinction Yin Corpse Demon were also suck...With a booming sound! The Bichen Bingjiao Pearl transformed into an endless blizzard of ice sand, attacking Xiang Kuang. ... Behind Xiang Kuang, the successive images of the Jiao that emerged were continuously frozen in the blizzard and then exploded.

Though the shadows behind Xiang Kuang were dense and numerous, they were still relentlessly crushed under this sandstorm.

In the blink of an eye, Xiang Kuang's brow was already covered in a thick layer of frost. His entire being felt as if it were about to be frozen solid, even his consciousness.

> Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Ying Xuanming, Wen Tingdao, Mu Yedao, Wen Yan, Zi Luo and other powerful dragon clan members' attacks fell like rain. Under the stormy attack, they finally broke through the defensive barrier formed by the Bi Chen Bing Jiaozhu, hitting the ice dragon one after another. This caused the ice dragon to momentarily hesitate in its attack on Xiang Kuang.

At this time, the countless serpent shadows behind Xiang Kuang had all been frozen and shattered. His entire body was covered in a layer of frost.

The attack against the Bing Jiao was also coming to its final stage. Xiang Kuang suddenly opened his eyes, a surge of black light surged, and instantly the frost on his body was completely shaken away.

Xiang Kuang simply held the Wu Jiao Qiong Long staff and struck Bing Jiao on the head. Xiang Kuang poured all his strength and understanding of the technique into this single strike.

The unremarkable staff struck out, every inch forward met with immense resistance. Finally, the Five Dragons Constriction Staff, even under the blizzard, was shattered into pieces, leaving only a faint shadow of a staff that touched the Ice Dragon's head.

Though the damage inflicted upon Bingjiao was negligible, Xiang Kuang laughed as crimson blood sprayed from its mouth. He didn't care about the amount of damage dealt to Bingjiao; the disparity in cultivation levels between them was too great. It was simply unrealistic to inflict significant harm on Bingjiao given their power difference.

Xiang Kuang faced Bing Jiao head-on, more of a struggle of wills. As the emperor among dragons, Wan Yu Jiao Zu, even if his realm was inferior to his opponent, still had to show his claws.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, sword shadows and gun shadows fell on the ice dragon one after another. Even with the high cultivation of the ice dragon, it was difficult to withstand such a dense and intense attack. Whoosh, another sword carrying endless water power slashed down. Wen Tingdao's hair flew wildly, this sword's might integrated his lifelong cultivation, his whole body turned into the sword shadow, the flying sword fell, and the ice dragon's body was split in two with one strike.

The ice python let out a mournful howl. It was still trapped within the formation, unable to even escape with its soul essence. After suffering such a devastating blow, all hope of survival was extinguished.

"This Ice Dragon is really hard to kill." After striking that previous sword, Wen Tingdao felt drained and plummeted from the air. Luckily, Black Dragon pulled him back at the last moment, preventing a humiliating fall. At this time, he wiped the sweat from his forehead weakly and said,

"Who said it wasn't I still don't know what happened to that madman, Xiang Kuang." Heilong looked at Xiang Kuang's side with worry.

>

Even with his cultivation, he wouldn't dare imagine facing the ice dragon head-on and enduring the consequences of its enraged attack.

Although his strength was inferior, Xiang Kuang still chose to do so. Even though his body did not directly shatter, it goes without saying that Xiang Kuang's injuries were undoubtedly dire.

"To put him somewhere else, he would surely die. But a new vitality was born within him. With Dragon Lord, this Fifth Rank Dan Saint, keeping him alive, he couldn't die. Truly worthy of the moniker 'Madman', this daring spirit to fight till the end is something I admire."

Wen Tingdao let out a long sigh. Facing Xiang Kuang, whose strength was somewhat inferior to his own, Wen Tingdao couldn't help but feel a newfound respect for him that he hadn't had before.

Wen Ting Dao's cultivation was slightly deeper than Hei Long's, and he was more sensitive to the changes in Xiang Kuang's internal Qi.

At this time, Xiang Kuang's body was nearly broken apart. However, a powerful bloodline aura rose from within him, causing Xiang Kuang to have the appearance of a rebirth after being baptized by fire. A new vitality had been nurtured within his body.

However, the trauma Xiang Kuang had suffered was too severe. This single weak spark of future hope wasn't enough to pull him back from the brink of death.

Lu Xia Tian's figure flashed, arriving directly behind Xiang Kuang. After feeding him a pill, he personally guided the medicinal power within his body.

“Don’t treat my wounds directly, allow the power of my blood vessels to grow stronger within me.” Xiang Kuang was extremely weak, and it seemed like every word he spoke took all his strength.

“Are you sure, this could really kill him.” Lu Xia Tian frowned. In the current state of Xiang Kuang’s injuries, it would be considered fatal to most people. He himself had personally intervened and pulled him back. The problem wouldn't be too big.

Now, Xiang Kuang's requirements are different. The other party doesn't allow him to treat his injuries immediately, but instead focuses on helping him improve the vitality of the Wan Yu Jiao Zu bloodline within his body.

Xiang Kuang's ambition was vast. He wanted to use his most fundamental essence to save himself, and then adjust his injuries on his own. If he succeeded, it would naturally be beneficial in many ways, but this way the risk would be something even Lu Xia Tian couldn't control.

"From the spirit world to now, how many times have you walked the line between life and death What risk I take is nothing compared to that. To kill an Ice Drake, you still need to use your formation power to drain most of its energy first, and then we'll swarm it. How is that any different from sitting back and letting things happen"

Cut the crap and get to the point. I don't accept any stalling or beating around the bush. Just treat my wounds, and make it quick. I don't want to die looking pathetic.

Xiang Kuang urged with a voice full of arrogance, knowing deep down that to catch up to Lu Xia Tian's cultivation and strength was no easy feat.

Ke Xiangkuang didn't want to be like this. When Lu Xiaottian, Xiang Qingcheng, and the others faced strong enemies, he could only pick off some small fry on the sidelines. Even killing an enemy required someone to act as a nursemaid behind him.

This kind of thing can't be done by simply repeating it. Even though, in the eyes of others, Xiang Kuang could currently stand before Bing Jiao with his current cultivation level and not fall behind in the contest of wills, this alone was already something to be proud of. However, Xiang Kuang was far from satisfied with this.

Even if he couldn't catch up to Lü Xiaoteng's achievements, Xiang Kuang also wanted to share as much as possible for Lü Xiaoteng. Now his cultivation level was not to mention compared to Lü Xiaoteng, even compared to Wen Yan, Xiang Kuang, and Hei Long these dragons, there was a considerable gap.

These people have just as much talent and intelligence as him. They've also had more time to accumulate experience. If they don't have enough opportunities and the determination to fight for them, it won't be easy to surpass these individuals.

xiang kuang didn't want to miss any opportunity to improve his strength, especially now that he had advanced to the Daluo Jinxian realm. This was definitely a chance for a significant increase in combat power.

Lu Xia tian could help him heal his wounds, but Xiang Kuang was not satisfied with that. He wanted more, and in return, he naturally had to bear enough risk.

"Good!" Lu Xia Tian wasn't the type to fuss over things. Since Xiang Kuang had made up his mind, useless persuasion was just a waste of time and would only make Xiang Kuang's internal injuries worse.

Thereafter, the medicinal power, under Lu Xiaottian's control, all surged into Xiang Kuang's body and converged with the power of blood surging within his veins.

Lu Xiaitian's self-cultivation of bloodline law power was extraordinary. Up to this point, he had never seen anyone surpass him on this path, even several demon lords and monster lords were far inferior to him in terms of bloodline law power.

In this state of mastery, Lu Xia Tian effortlessly protected the burgeoning life force with his own.

However, Lu Xia Tian could only do so much, the rest would have to rely on Xiang Kuang himself.

“My lord, how is the Madman doing” Black Dragon flew over, his worry still evident.

“Life and death hang in the balance, it depends on his fate.”

“Even a Dragon Master’s cultivation wouldn’t be able to save him” Black Dragon couldn’t help but feel some disbelief upon hearing this.

“I could have saved him, but he made a different choice.” Lu Xia tian also sighed softly. He understood, to some extent, Xiang Kuang’s choice. If the situation wasn't so perilous, perhaps he wouldn't have had to act this way.

"The battle is over, let's go back. The effects of the pills are wearing off." Wen Ting greeted everyone.

Lu Xia Tian extended his hand, drawing in all these Great Luo Golden Immortal-level experts into the green fruit boundary. After this battle, many of them would need some time to recover before returning to their peak condition. In the short term, their combat effectiveness would be somewhat affected, but once they recovered, their cultivation base would undoubtedly see a significant improvement.

Lu Xia Tian sat down cross-legged and swallowed a black lotus solid soul pill he had refined earlier. It was specifically designed to counteract the strange power in the Qu Po Bing Jing region.

Item Qingcheng, and Luo Qing's side are facing risks that cannot be fully controlled. There are also powerful individuals at the level of Yuan Shen realm inside.

There are too many variables, and relying solely on projections might not solve the problem. If things get truly critical, Lu Xia tian's main body would naturally have to charge in first to save people and then figure out the rest.

Before that, he would try out the newly researched pills to test their potency and prepare for any potential actions later. If there were still shortcomings in the pills, Lu XiaTian could improve them immediately.

“The formation gate should be right here. Even with both of us working together, our strength is still lacking and it would be difficult to break through the formation gate.”

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaitian had returned to calm. Xiang Qingcheng and Luo Qing stood outside a thick area of ice mist, their eyes solemnly observing what lay within.

In fact, Xiang Qingcheng's mastery of formations is not truly unbreakable. It just takes a considerable price to break through them.

Although Lu Xia Tian was there, they had someone to back them up in case of crisis. However, Lu Xia Tian was still outside the Qu Po Bing Jing region, and it was necessary to consider the possibility of something happening to him.

And there's the Chixiao Demon Silkworm of Bloodshadow, this guy shouldn't be wasted, right This old demon has been driving those two around without any good intentions. When opportunity arises, Xiang Qingcheng naturally wants to take the chance to test just how deep this old demon's foundation is. As for Lu Xiaoteng, if he can avoid using his powers, he should try not to.

Whether it's Xing Cheng or Luo Qing, they don't want Lu Xia Tian to solve everything for them.

"Are you sure this is the place" The shadow's eyes wavered with uncertainty.

"Senior, you're quite skilled in formations as well. You can tell if what I say is true or not," Xiang Qingcheng deflected the question back.

"Very well, this seat will lend you a hand then." The Shadow Demon could also judge that this place was an extremely important node in the formation.

>

However, how to break in and understand its importance, with his abilities he only had a vague idea, some things were shrouded in mist.

"If the predecessors were here, as long as they used the right method to break through the formation gate, there would be no problem at all. It's just that a mere phantom is still lacking." Xiang Qingcheng shook her head.

“How much longer do you estimate” Mo Ying frowned, uncertain if Xiang Qingcheng’s words were true or not. However, even if the other party had pills, with their cultivation levels being only at the Daluo Jinxian stage, they wouldn't be able to survive in the Qu Po Bing Jing region forever. If the two wanted to leave here, they would have to rely on him. Mo Ying temporarily didn’t doubt Xiang Qingcheng, but Luo Qing suddenly betraying him was a possibility.

>

Xiang Qingcheng said, "The formation has shielded most of the Xuan Tian Qing Qi's aura. For so many years, no one has been able to take away the Xuan Tian Qing Qi inside. The power of the formation is evident. Even if you enter from the formation gate, with the strength of a former demonic shadow, it would still take at least three such demonic shadows to even attempt to break through."

Mo Ying inhaled, needing three more shadow clones, and they had to be separated all at once. Even with his full strength, he couldn't manage that. But not being able to separate that many shadows didn't mean he lacked other options. He just had to pay a price in other areas. He originally intended to keep this as a last resort, but now he was forced to use it.

"How many times will it take me to intervene"

"About three to five times, depending on the situation. I haven't reached a level of understanding where I know the details of this formation yet, so I'll just have to see as I go."

Xiang Qingcheng needed to probe the depths of Lu Ying Chixiao Mo Chan's power, so she naturally wouldn't reveal her true intentions outright.

"It's time to get started." The Shadow nodded, vaguely feeling that things were a little out of his expectations, but not yet completely beyond his control.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

xiang qingcheng nodded, reached out and patted, a jade talisman phantom submerged into the thick ice fog before her.

Xiang Qingcheng continued to wave her hand, and more jade talisman phantoms poured in. The ice mist before them seemed to be pushed by a giant hand, starting to churn violently. After a stick of incense, the ice mist tore open six openings of varying sizes.

Each aperture housed a ghostly apparition, its form wispy and emanating a chilling aura. No bigger than a gourd, these spectral figures emitted piercing shrieks as their eyes fixated on the approaching figures of Xiang Qingcheng and Luo Qing. However, these were merely phantoms, lacking corporeality and thus failing to elicit any interest from the duo.

"After all these years, I didn't expect anyone could still find the entrance to the formation. It's truly remarkable," one of the ghostly figures chuckled, "Do you think you outsiders are worthy of taking the Xuan Tian Qi inside"

“Li Hu Yan Gui Senior, I think there's something fishy about this place. Even if there is Xuan Tian Qing Qi inside, it might not be possible to get it out.” Xiang Qingcheng’s face changed, she didn’t expect to encounter such a legendary powerful ghost here.

The Fire Ghost in the Dried Pot is not only extremely ferocious, but also lives in groups, with an astonishing number. With her and Luò Qīng's strength, once they get caught in it, it would be extremely difficult to escape.

At critical moments, this guy Mo Ying is unreliable. Unless it's absolutely necessary, Xiang Qingcheng really doesn't want to drag Lu Xiaitian into the quagmire before her.

At this time, Xiang Qingcheng did not know that Lu Xiaoteng had already refined a better pill. Judging from the previous pills, they could only help her and Luo Qing resist the strange power of Qu Po Bingjing for a short period of time, but couldn't solve the problem fundamentally.

Once Lu Xia Tian is caught up in it, it may not be easy for him to leave at that time.urst out from his body, expanding to dozens of zhang in size. Its thick palm pounded against its chest like a war drum. 。Bang! The giant blood ape's double palms struck the giant skull. 。The Xuan En...
