"Cough, cough …" Second Prince, have mercy. " The Red Fox could only beg for mercy as its body could not move at all.
"This sovereign will ask you another question. Where is Xiruo?" Yun Qian clearly did not have much patience left.
The Red Fox felt as though its internal organs were about to be shattered by his Spiritual Strength. It could only say with great difficulty, "Su Xiruo, she … have been imprisoned in the forbidden grounds by the First Prince! "
"It's really you guys!" With a cold snort, Yun Qian heavily threw the Red Fox's body to the ground, then turned around and headed in the direction of the forbidden grounds.
It had already been more than eight years since he left the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but the road in this state had long since been etched into his mind, and it was likely that he would never be able to erase it in his lifetime.
Yun Qian had been slaughtering his way to the forbidden grounds, but he was stopped by a golden Barrier. Just as he was about to open the Barrier, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar man's voice coming from behind him.
"Yun Qian, long time no see."
That voice contained a few hints of ridicule and disdain.
Yun Qian turned his head around, only to see Yun Lichen's sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was dressed in blue clothes, and with light steps, he approached them, his face still carrying a bit of malice. "We haven't met in eight years, I didn't expect you to still be alive!"
"Yun Lichen, after so many years of not meeting, you still only use this kind of despicable method to lure the enemy in." Yun Qian knew that this matter had been meticulously arranged by him.
"Heh." Yun Lichen laughed complacently, "What a pity, even though you know it's a trap, you're still willing to take the bait. Second brother, you have true feelings for that woman!"
He carefully evaluated Yun Qian once, and felt that the Spiritual Strength around his body was abnormally powerful, to the point of even being on par with himself. He couldn't help but mock him: "I never thought that the trash back then, would actually be a Spirit God now!"
Yun Qian was unwilling to bother with him, "Yun Lichen, I will settle our debts with you later!"
Right now, he had no time to waste with Yun Lichen, he could only think of ways to save Xiruo.
"Yun Qian." Yun Lichen acted and reminded her with good intentions, "There is a Void Ice Spirit Formation that father had set up personally in this forbidden grounds, if you want to go in, you will definitely trigger the array, this Void Ice Soul Formation, even if it's me, I would not dare to barge in, and furthermore, you have me as your opponent, why fight to the death for a woman?"
Yun Lichen's idea is simple, you should think about how to break the array after taking care of me!
"However, I am not as easy to deal with as those Spirit Sovereign s." Yun Lichen seemed to be extremely arrogant, "The forbidden grounds' temperature is extremely cold, and that girl is of the yang attribute. If I stay in the forbidden grounds for too long, I don't know what kind of consequences will occur."
Hearing up to here, Yun Qian's beautiful brows furrowed, she knew that she didn't have much time, so she brought along the powerful Sword Qi's blade and directly struck at Yun Lichen's face. Yun Lichen dodged instantly, the long sword came out, and two equally strong Spiritual Strength collided, causing a violent shock!
"Bang ~ ~ ~"
After exchanging a few blows with Yun Lichen, Yun Qian's light palm pushed him away, instantly pulling the distance between the two of them. With a flip of his hand, a golden Barrier appeared, blocking the path between the two of them.
"Void Seal!" Yun Qian, you actually know this Void Seal! " Yun Lichen instantly recognized the Spiritual Skill. No matter how much effort he put in, he was unable to open this Barrier.
Currently, he possessed the strength of his Four-star and this Void Seal was able to trap experts of three levels higher than Yun Qian. Therefore, if Yun Lichen wanted to open this Void Seal, he would need at least an hour!
"If you dare, open this Void Seal and fight me head on!" Yun Lichen was flustered and exasperated, but he could do nothing.
"A battle between us is unavoidable. Today, I will break this Ice Soul Formation and I have no time to tangle with you!" Yun Qian only wanted to save Xiruo as soon as possible, how could he still have the mood to tangle with Yun Lichen!
He flew up, his palm striking against the forbidden grounds' Barrier, and in the next second, the Void Ice Soul Formation activated, the surrounding environment's temperature instantly dropping, condensing into a point of ice, countless ice soul sharp blades shot towards the face of Yun Qian, his feet were already surrounded by giant ice sculptures, there was nowhere for him to go.
The shallow cloud Sword Qi vibrated and knocked down the ice blades, and the ice pillars descended one after another. He dodged and the ice pillars fell one by one, causing the ground to crack and brushing against his clothes.
The formation was like an unending stream, and it couldn't be stopped no matter what. The temperature around the formation became lower and lower. The bone-piercing coldness seemed as if it could even freeze the blood.
Yun Qian gathered his strength and smashed the ice ball into pieces, instantly turning it into thousands of ice arrows, covering the sky and attacking. Borrowing the force, he took a step back, blue ice flames came out of his palm and wrapped around the ice arrow, instantly melting.
In the next second, the dense white Sword Qi closed in, and the berserk Spiritual Strength smashed apart the ice pillar one by one. Unexpectedly, the ice arrows that were left on the ground instantly condensed into a ball, and the ice pillar returned to its original state, unmoving like a mountain.
Separated by the Barrier, Yun Lichen looked at the person in the array and frowned. From the Spiritual Strength fluctuations around Yun Qian's body, he could feel that his strength should be on par with his.
But, since he had barged into the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan today, then it was a good opportunity for him to kill him. If he were to miss this opportunity today, it would be even harder in the future!
Breaking through one point meant that there would be another point that would appear immediately. Once activated, it would sink into an endless cycle of death, so no matter how strong the Spiritual Strength was, it would be impossible to break out of this cycle.
Time flew by, Yun Qian estimated that an hour would pass, and if Yun Lichen were to break through the void to come out after a while, he would be in an even more difficult situation, so he had to think of a way to break this array as soon as possible!
On the other hand, behind Yun Lichen, countless Fox Clan Disciples had already gathered there, ready to teach this nameless junior who had barged into the Fox Clan a lesson!
"Yun Qian, I advise you to give up as soon as possible." Yun Lichen gave a noncommittal smile, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule, "I told you a long time ago, this Void Ice Spirit Formation is not something you can break unless you see blood in it!"
Yun Qian pushed away the ice pillar and looked to the side, as if he had heard what Yun Lichen said.
At this moment, he was only slightly injured. This Ice Soul Void Formation couldn't hurt him, but he couldn't break it either. He couldn't help but feel a bit worried, worried that at this extreme cold realm, Xi Ruo wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Yun Lichen's palm landed on the Void Seal's Barrier, and that Barrier instantly cracked due to his berserk palm attack.
Soon, he would be able to decipher the seal!
On the other side, countless of sharp blades struck over, instantly destroying the Void Seal. The dense cold wind from Yun Lichen's palm struck the ice sculpture, shattering the ice pillar and causing it to burst apart, but not even half a step closer to the array formation!
The giant ice sculpture was shattered. Yun Qian saw that Xi Ruo was trapped in the forbidden area, frozen by the ice vines and had lost her consciousness.
In a split-second, he was a little flustered and helpless as he sidestepped the two incoming ice sculptures, turning them into thousands of ice arrows. The light cloud finger bones tightly gripped onto the weapons and did not make a move, allowing the millions of ice arrows to pierce through his body.
In the next second, the countless ice arrows that had been stained with Yun Qian's blood were all withdrawn. The ice sculptures were rearranged, returning to their original state. The formation returned to its previous tranquility, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Heh, you really dare to sacrifice your blood for this Void Ice Soul Formation." Yun Lichen stood outside the formation, and upon seeing the shocking scene, couldn't help but shiver in his heart.
For a woman, this fellow actually did not even care about his own life!
After the formation calmed down, Yun Qian hurriedly flew into the forbidden area. She saw that Xi Ruo's hands and feet were bound by the ice vines. The surrounding temperature was extremely low. Xi Ruo had already fainted, her fingers were stiff and cold.
"Xiruo." The ice vine was instantly chopped off. Holding Xiruo in his arms, he turned around and left the forbidden grounds. Outside of the forbidden grounds, an inescapable net had long been set up.
