Death Grip
"The Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor is incredibly strong. It seems that even injured, the Demon Emperor is still a Demon Emperor. Not just anyone can take him on," Xing Chen said, his gaze heavy as he looked up at the imposing Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
"Indeed, it's not simple. Given his injuries, he can at most exert one percent of his power, but even that one percent is not something you Gaze of Fate members can contend with," Hate Emperor frowned and remarked.
"Ugh..."
As the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor soared into the sky, a howling wind followed, and suddenly he transformed into a beam of ice-blue light, charging forward into the void.
Below, Xing Chen and the others felt a flash of ice-blue light in the air. In an instant, the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor flickered and vanished. With his disappearance, those who had previously hidden in the void were also forced out.
"This is the Void Piercing Flash, a unique skill of the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor. It can penetrate the void and force anyone hiding within it to reveal themselves," Zhang Yun said with a slight glint in his eyes.
"Void Piercing Flash?" Xueqing's delicate face changed slightly. She and Xing Chen, along with Xue, had refined the Fusion Fruit, allowing them to use Void Stealth. However, this Void Piercing Flash was precisely their nemesis, capable of forcing them out of hiding at any moment.
"Brother Zhang, it seems you have some special method to deal with the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor?" Mo Feiyu glanced at Zhang Yun.
"If I had a method, I wouldn't be standing here watching," Zhang Yun replied with a bitter smile.
"It looks like capturing this Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor will come at a significant cost!" Mo Feiyu, seeing the situation, chose not to press further.
Just then, as they spoke, the figure of the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor reappeared above them. At the same time, two icy beams shot out from his ice-blue eyes. The immense power instantly pierced through the void and struck a disciple from Gaze of Fate in the early stages.
Before that disciple could react, he was turned into an ice block. Following this, the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor, with a fierce roar, spread his ice-blue wings and charged toward this disciple. His claws reached forward simultaneously, causing the disciple trapped in the ice block to explode and die instantly.
"Hiss..." The surrounding disciples gasped in shock at this scene. The strength of the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor was overwhelming; they were simply unable to contend with it. Watching his current might, it seemed he could eliminate them all in an instant.
However, just as fear began to take hold among them, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly: "Look! His wound is bleeding! This beast has been holding on by sheer force; he's actually weak inside. If we all attack together, we can definitely take him down!"
"Indeed, no wonder he possesses such strength but did not attack us earlier; it turns out he is all show and no substance, with hardly any energy left to strike us."
"Let's move quickly; that beast must have exhausted all its power with those recent attacks. We can take him down soon."
"Exactly, let's go..."
Amidst the crowd, shouts rang out continuously as these individuals launched their most ferocious attacks against the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
Only the Demon Dragon stood aside, coldly observing everything without attacking the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor. He realized that attacking now would be tantamount to seeking death. Moreover, Mo Feiyu and the others also refrained from attacking, so the Demon Dragon hesitated slightly before slowly vanishing into the air.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Countless attacks struck the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor, causing it to emit painful howls.
"Humans, I will kill you all; you shall all die!" the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor roared in anger, while a powerful frost storm rapidly spread outward, its chilling aura seemingly capable of freezing even the void itself, forcing all attacks to halt.
"Brother, let's make our move! It's impossible to defeat the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor relying on those people. We must take this opportunity to severely injure it; otherwise, even if we manage to overcome it in the end, we will surely suffer heavy losses," Xing Chen said, watching those above who were being driven into a desperate retreat by the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
"I was just thinking the same," Mo Feiyu nodded and then summoned the blazing Sun God Bow once more.
Beside him, Ouyang Zhenhai also formed a blue spear in his hand, which was the Water Gun. Although it was not a true Water Gun but merely condensed from Vital Energy, its combined power with Mo Feiyu's Sun God Bow would undoubtedly surpass their previous attack.
"Shall we strike together, Brother Zhang?" Mo Feiyu glanced at Zhang Yun beside him.
"Haha, that's exactly what I intend to do," Zhang Yun laughed heartily and then conjured a long sword in his hand. The sword radiated a formidable aura that instilled fear in onlookers; this was the Falling God Sword, a low-grade Divine Rank weapon.
"Sun God Arrow!" Mo Feiyu gently grasped the bowstring and suddenly pulled back. The Sun God Arrow engulfed in endless flames instantly appeared on the Sun God Bow.
The intense heat distorted the void around it, and faintly, a hint of Dragon Roar seemed to emanate from within.
Ouyang Zhenhai tightened his grip on the Water Gun as well; the Ice Dragon carved upon it seemed ready to break free and soar into the skies.
Zhang Yun held the Falling God Sword, which radiated a brilliant light, exuding an endless might, as if a slumbering beast was slowly awakening, ready to deliver a fatal blow to its enemies at any moment.
“Junior Brother, let's retreat; we can leave this to them,” Xueqing said, pulling Xing Chen and quickly retreating.
“Senior Sister, aren't we going to make a move?” Xing Chen asked, slightly taken aback, his face showing a look of confusion.
“We need to conserve our strength in case we encounter any unexpected situations after defeating the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor,” Xueqing replied with a smile.
At this moment, no one knew what would happen next, so someone among them had to retain their strength to keep themselves in peak condition to respond to any sudden crises.
Otherwise, if the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor was defeated but they had no energy left to protect what they had gained, it would be a tragedy.
“Can they really handle the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor?” Xing Chen frowned and asked.
“It should be fine, but they will have to pay a considerable price as well,” Hate Emperor replied.
Just then, the attacks from Mo Feiyu and his companions finally commenced. Mo Feiyu suddenly released the bowstring, and the Fire Red Arrow transformed into a streak of fire that pierced through the air towards the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
At the same time, Ouyang Zhenhai's Water Gun instantly morphed into an Ice Dragon, its massive body coiling around the arrow as they both struck at the formidable Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor together.
“Falling Strike!”
Meanwhile, Zhang Yun vanished from his original position and appeared high in the sky. The Falling God Sword in his hand emitted endless light as he descended like a meteor, carrying an unmatched might towards the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
“Humans shall perish!” The Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor, deep within the frost storm, sensed the impending crisis. With a powerful flap of its wings, the frost storm expanded once more. The combined attack from Mo Feiyu and Ouyang Zhenhai was blocked outside the storm, and Zhang Yun's ‘Falling Strike’ also came to a halt outside the frost storm.
“This…” Both Mo Feiyu and Ouyang Zhenhai exchanged glances and saw shock in each other's eyes. They believed that even the Bloodthirsty Deity could not withstand their full-powered joint attack unscathed. Yet this Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor, despite being severely injured, managed to block it. How could they not be astonished?
“Roar…” Just as they were in shock, the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor let out a piercing scream; its injuries flared up again. After all, it had been fighting with severe wounds while pushing its powers to the limit, and now it could no longer endure.
The storm that had spread out suddenly vanished, and without the storm as a barrier, the attacks from Mo Feiyu and the others instantly descended upon the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed, accompanied by the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor's piercing scream. The attacks from Mo Feiyu and the others finally struck the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor, unleashing a violent ice and fire storm.
At some point, Zhang Yun had also reappeared beside Mo Feiyu and the others, wiping cold sweat from his brow as he said, "You two are really something; you almost blew me up along with him."
"Brother Zhang, forgive us. It was your attack that... well, you actually went to collide with the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor. We never expected you to attack like that," Mo Feiyu said apologetically while closely watching the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
"You despicable humans, I will fight you to the death!" The Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor roared in anger. Suddenly, the ice and fire storm dissipated, and countless ice-blue beams shot out. This barrage instantly froze dozens of people into ice statues. Among those remaining were Xing Chen and a few others, all of whom were at the Late Stage of the Fate Observation Realm, and there were no more than ten of them.
"All of you will die at my hands!" The Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor roared again as an ice-blue Demon Core slowly appeared before everyone.
"This is bad; he's going to self-destruct his Demon Core! Everyone be careful!" Mo Feiyu's expression changed drastically upon seeing the Ice Blue Demon Core, and he quickly retreated.
"Self-destructing his Demon Core? Hate Emperor, act quickly to eliminate him! We must not let him succeed in self-detonating; otherwise, we will all perish here," Xing Chen's face also changed dramatically. After all, although the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor was severely injured, his Demon Core was still at the Demon Emperor Level. If it self-destructed, it would be equivalent to a complete Demon Emperor Level Beast detonating itself.
