At this moment, the Phoenix Palace Master was in the state of merging with the Red Gold Phoenix, and the wings on her back fluttered a few times, releasing a flurry of feathers, all transformed from flames.
The fiery feathers danced around, where they passed, the ice crystal melted away.
Without lingering, she immediately headed towards the volcanoâs mouth.
She knew that both Li Yuanba and Master Ren Mu were buying her time.
Li Yuanba, perceiving two more âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ approaching and countless ice crystals attempting to imprison him, smiled subtly, his figure flickering and disappearing from the original spot.
He need not finish off the injured âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ because it wasnât necessary.
Having endured an attack imbued with âChaos Sword Intentâ and a Wind Blade, the mere entry of âChaos Sword Intentâ into the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ was enough to annihilate its soul.
Just as the attacks from the two âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ missed, the breath of the injured âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ vanished as well.
The two âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ here, the one battling Master Ren Mu, and the two concealed in front of the Phoenix Palace Master all let out roars simultaneously.
The Phoenix Palace Master was surprised, as she hadnât noticed the two hidden âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ ahead.
If Li Yuanba hadnât slain one âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ, revealing these two, she might have fallen victim to their ambush.
The two âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ were initially set to obstruct the Phoenix Palace Master, but now they ignored her, heading toward Li Yuanba instead.
Not only these two âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ, the one originally battling Master Ren Mu ceased its fight and also rushed towards Li Yuanba.
Though Li Yuanba had slain one âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ, he remained astonished by their formidable strength.
No wonder the ancestor from Luanyang Palace returned so battered and shortly thereafter perished; the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ strength in the ocean was overwhelming.
Merely using Xingyi Sword made slaying a âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ extraordinarily challenging.
Because around the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ was a five-meter-thick ice crystal defensive layer, unless Xingyi Sword delivered over ten strikes in the same spot within a short time, it couldnât pierce this defense.
Moreover, the Wind Blade emitted by âEye of the Stormâ, intending to strike remotely within the ocean, was significantly slowed by the seawater, allowing the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ to evade easily.
âThunder Sound Bellâ proved ineffective too, as seawater hindered its sounds; where its range spanned thousands of meters outside, within the ocean it dramatically decreased not only in scope but also in power.
Hence, Li Yuanba opted not to use âThunder Sound Bellâ since itâs not the best choice in such conditions.
He selected a more convenient combat mode, utilizing the Divine Foot Skill.
Though oceanic speed was hampered, this didnât affect the Divine Foot Skill.
With five âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ charging at him, the seawater seemingly hardened like rock, with their combined efforts, their impact range expanded further, boosting their strength.
Li Yuanba sensed that staying in place would have him trapped in ice crystal despite his âEye of the Stormâsâ Vortex Shield.
His figure flickered away from his position, reappearing by the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ that had been fighting Master Ren Mu.
This âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ was somewhat isolated from the others.
Upon Li Yuanbaâs sudden appearance, the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ promptly activated energy within, rapidly crystallizing the surrounding seawater.
"Slash!" Li Yuanba shouted forcefully.
Xingyi Sword descended heavily, and âEye of the Stormâ diverted three Wind Blades towards the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ.
Finally, he summoned the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation, imbued with âChaos Sword Intentâ, and it joined Xingyi Sword and the three Wind Blades in the strike.
This time he aimed to swiftly conclude the battle, given the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ swift speed in the sea.
He wasnât keen on being encircled by multiple âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ; while unsure of their special abilities, he had no intention of enduring one such assault.
Each of Li Yuanbaâs attacks was executed with lethal speed, preventing the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastsâ from deploying their special abilities.
A total of five strikes; after Xingyi Sword executed the slash, as he didnât want to reveal its grade, Xingyi Sword was only applied as a Fourth Grade Top Quality Magical Treasure.
A single slash breached half a meter of thickness, far less damage than a Wind Blade could inflict.
Nonetheless, it was understandableâthe Wind Blades emitted by âEye of the Stormâ, empowered by cosmic-level wind Rule Power, greatly surpassed the attack power of a Peak Great Cultivator.
Apparently startled by the previous death of a âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâ, this oneâs ice crystal defense visibly heightened.
The three Wind Blades barely penetrated the âGolden Ice Crystal Beastâs skin, failing to inflict significant internal damage; without sufficient damage, the effect of âChaos Sword Intentâ was unable to manifest quickly.
