Chapter 148 The Fox's Deception
Even if Ye Nanxiao were to exert all his strength, he wouldn't be able to budge Zhu Hun Liao even slightly.
Manipulating the floating ice to fly quickly to the edge of the Candle Soul Flame, Ye Nanxiao used his soul power to envelop the four spatial core arrays and slowly brought the core arrays close to the barrier of the Candle Soul Flame.
"A soul tool that can release a barrier-like structure can, if enough spatial energy is gathered, disrupt this space and temporarily tear open this barrier." Ye Nanxiao held a soul tool battery in each hand.
The design of the soul guide battery is different from that of a baby bottle. The former is simply for replenishing the energy of the rechargeable soul guide device. Ye Nanxiao did not know what the consequences would be if the soul power inside were forcibly absorbed.
The soul power transmitted from the soul guide battery violently impacted Ye Nanxiao's meridians. If he hadn't expanded his meridians before, he might not have been able to withstand such a forced injection of soul power when his soul power was depleted.
After estimating the time in his mind, Ye Nanxiao looked at the four spatial core arrays floating in front of him, took out two more soul guide batteries, and absorbed the soul power inside like a whale swallowing its prey.
Forcibly circulating the raging soul power within his body, Ye Nanxiao summoned Little Ye No. 2 again, and quickly installed rows of soul-guided cannons, charging the muzzles and emitting powerful waves of soul power.
Activating the four spatial core arrays caused ripples to appear in the space before them.
The four spatial core arrays emitted a silver light and resonated with each other. A visible silver ray connected the four core arrays together, emitting rich spatial energy.
"Open for me!" Ye Nanxiao's hands transformed into cold jade, arranging the four core magic arrays into a rectangle and slowly pushing it forward.
When the four spatial core arrays came into contact with Zhu Hun Liao's barrier, the barrier was greatly distorted, like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake, while the rectangle formed by the four core arrays remained calm.
Ye Nanxiao actually opened a door on the barrier of Zhu Hun Liao.
The four spatial core arrays were impacted by Zhu Hunliao's soul power, turning red at a visible speed and trembling slightly.
"Let's go quickly." Ye Nanxiao turned to look at Xu Jiujiu.
After a long while, two lines of clear tears fell down her face. She suddenly threw herself into Ye Nanxiao's arms and hugged him tightly.
The next second, Xu Jiujiu released Ye Nanxiao, picked up the old woman in the red dress, and quickly walked towards the temporarily opened passage.
"I'll be waiting for you outside. You must come find me!" Xu Jiujiu looked at Ye Nanxiao deeply.
"Stay outside and watch over her," Ye Nanxiao said to Little Ye No. 2, then turned and walked towards the center of the Candle Soul Flame.
Xiao Ye No. 2 quickly passed through the passage with Xu Jiujiu. The moment they rushed out of the Candle Soul Blaze, the four spatial core arrays suddenly exploded.
The violent explosion knocked the three people to the ground.
Struggling to his feet, he felt the starlight power falling into his body for a long time, stroking his frost armor, tears streaming down his face.
The Frost Armor emitted a faint mist of ice, freezing a thin layer of ice on the ground where Xu Jiujiu stood, but Xu Jiujiu did not feel any cold.
A warm feeling emanated from his forehead. After a long while, his gaze became firm. He used all his strength to shoot a beam of starlight into the air, leaning the old woman in the red dress against a wall, her eyes fixed on the space in front of her.
The candle's spirit burns within.
"You went to all this trouble just to send that little girl out? You gave that little girl a drop of blood? To be honest, I never expected that you could temporarily break through the barrier of the Candle Soul Blaze. Why didn't you take the opportunity to escape?" The Evil Phoenix flapped its wings, looking down at Ye Nanxiao with burning eyes.
Ye Nanxiao's blood caused her martial soul to feel a strong sense of longing, as if there was something in it that was very attractive to her martial soul.
The inner armor on his body was covered in ice in many places, and the flames on Xie Feng's body could not directly evaporate the frost.
"Guess what?" Ye Nanxiao held six soul-guided batteries in his hands, forcibly absorbing the soul power inside.
"I must carry a few baby bottles with me from now on." Feeling the tearing pain in his meridians, especially the excruciating pain in his hands, Ye Nanxiao gritted his teeth and cursed himself for being complacent and not preparing baby bottles to carry with him.
"Hero saves the beauty? You people are all the same, always thinking you can save the world and others. You're always so self-righteous!" Xie Feng said coldly.
Ye Nanxiao's actions reminded Xie Feng of someone deep in her memory. There was a time when she was so infatuated with him that she even consummated her marriage with him, but that person abandoned her for the greater good.
"The hero saving the damsel in distress is used to praise heroes this time. I'm not a hero, I'm just someone who taps the soul tool."
"It seems you don't like individual heroism, and coincidentally, I don't either. But I happen to have a unique explanation. I know many people like Brother Xiao and Brother Lin. Why don't we sit down and talk about this issue slowly?" Ye Nanxiao put the soul guide battery, which had exhausted its soul power, into his storage ring. His eyes were full of solemnity, but he said with a smile.
If he and Xu Jiujiu were to escape together, Ye Nanxiao was certain that Xie Feng would go all out, and even if he survived, Xu Jiujiu and the old woman in the red dress would perish.
Moreover, having Xu Jiujiu bring reinforcements would increase the chances of escaping from Xie Feng's clutches.
Thinking of this, Ye Nanxiao's smile grew even warmer, and a faint pink light shone in his eyes.
Xie Feng was stunned for a moment. In her eyes, Ye Nanxiao seemed to be coated with a layer of light, making him look very appetizing.
Shaking her head slightly, Xie Feng slowly landed on the ground. Seemingly seeing through Ye Nanxiao's thoughts, she smiled and said, "Xu Jiawei is currently entangled in a lot of troubles. Before they arrive, I have enough time to take you away. Come, come with me. I promise I won't let you suffer any injustice."
After saying that, the flames on Xie Feng's body shot into the sky, forming a towering fire tree, from which a purplish-black phoenix head emerged.
"Oops, the charm failed?" Feeling the immense pressure, beads of cold sweat slid down Ye Nanxiao's forehead, and the smile on his face collapsed.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Nanxiao saw the phantom of the Snow Emperor reappear behind him. All the soul-guided cannons were aimed at the Evil Phoenix, and he asked, "One last question: why do you think I am the Holy Son?"
"I've already answered that question. Are you really just a Soul Master of the Ultimate Ice Realm? I think you know the answer to that better than I do. Let me tell you, I'm very interested in you, especially your blood. It contains immense energy that I find intoxicating. It's such a waste that little girl wasted." Xie Feng's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Upon seeing Xie Feng disappear from the spot, Ye Nanxiao did not hesitate to aim all the soul-guided cannons at himself and fire.
The extreme cold calamity was activated instantly. Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to change his position within the domain, a slender hand gently pressed against Ye Nanxiao's chest.
An irresistible force struck, and Ye Nanxiao was sent flying backward.
"Huh? Your physical abilities are much better than I imagined. But that's perfect, I'm afraid I might not be able to control my strength and accidentally kill you. Otherwise, I'd be heartbroken."
A layer of flames burned around Xie Feng, blocking all the soul-guided rays. He glanced at the surrounding soul-guided devices, raised his right hand, and a black fireball appeared in his hand.
Forced to swallow the metallic taste in his throat, Ye Nanxiao raised his hand and pulled up one ice prison after another, while simultaneously manipulating the floating cannons to bombard and detonate all the soul tools around Xie Feng.
Centered on the evil phoenix, ten ice prisons rose up in quick succession, trapping the evil phoenix within them.
"Xiao'er, leave the rest to me!" Behind Ye Nanxiao, the energy and light of the Snow Emperor condensed, and he held an imperial sword that exuded endless coldness in his hand.
Feeling his soul power being instantly drained, Ye Nanxiao's face turned pale.
The violent explosion shook the ground. Ye Nanxiao, panting heavily, disregarded the pain of losing his soul tool and took out four more soul tools.
Glancing at the pure black mask protected by a ring of flames not far away, Ye Nanxiao seemed to remember something and said to Xue Di, "Buy me five minutes!"
Ye Nanxiao entered the sea of consciousness, looked at the sealed ice, and made a series of hand seals to open the sealed ice mountain.
When the sealed iceberg was opened, a beastly roar resounded throughout Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea.
A red light connected to Ye Nanxiao's spirit body, and the giant fox emitted a strong red light.
A continuous stream of power appeared within his body, rapidly replenishing his nearly depleted soul power.
As the power within him surged forth, a surge of intense anger also arose in Ye Nanxiao's heart.
A purplish-black fiery phoenix broke through the ice prison, its enormous fiery wings unleashing a vast expanse of black fire that melted the ice prison in front of the evil phoenix.
Xie Feng strode out with cat-like steps, a look of utter rapture on her face, and said, "It seems you have finally accepted your true power. What an intoxicating aura, Holy Son, you..."
When Xie Feng saw the almost solidified image of the Snow Emperor, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
The Emperor Sword in Xue Di's hand once again made Xie Feng feel cold.
Wisps of red mist emanated from Ye Nanxiao's body, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Ye Nanxiao took out the last spatial core array from his storage ring. It was the spatial core array that had previously developed cracks. Ye Nanxiao remembered that this core array could still be activated.
However, Ye Nanxiao could only gamble on how the new loop created by the crack would ultimately affect the spatial core array.
The red mist around Ye Nanxiao gradually spread to the energy light and shadow of the Snow Emperor, causing the deep blue imperial sword to gradually turn blood red.
The Emperor's Sword pointed directly at the Evil Phoenix, unleashing an even more chilling aura.
Feeling the biting cold invading his body, Xie Feng's expression changed. He transformed into a huge, purplish-black phoenix, his scarlet eyes locked onto Ye Nanxiao, and his sky-covering claws reached out to Ye Nanxiao.
Xie Feng sensed a threat emanating from the blood-red longsword that could injure him. In addition, after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, those old guys from Xingluo should have already realized the decoy he had set up.
The Snow Emperor, wielding a blood-red imperial sword in both hands, transformed the snowflakes into a storm of blades under the control of the Snow Emperor's sword intent.
With the support of the Great Fox, Xue Di can fight without worrying about excessively depleting Ye Nanxiao's soul power.
Four massive storms of sword intent appeared in the four directions of the Black Flame Phoenix, their sword intent, powerful enough to freeze all things in the world, extinguishing the black flames on the evil phoenix's body.
Xie Feng's expression was serious, and she was somewhat surprised. As a Super Douluo, she was finding it difficult to dispel the chill that had invaded her body.
She never expected Ye Nanxiao to unleash such power. If she were to truly recruit him into her sect, she would only need to wait for him to grow up, at which point no one on the entire continent would be able to defeat him.
"Freeze," Xue Di said softly.
The Emperor Sword instantly transformed into a giant sword thousands of feet long, slashing down from the sky.
The overwhelming pressure of the sword made Xie Feng abandon his playful attitude and take the attack seriously.
Perhaps fearing that she might lose control and injure Ye Nanxiao, Xie Feng only used her Martial Soul True Body.
The crimson imperial sword and the storm of sword intent struck the evil phoenix's true martial spirit body, and in an instant, the world fell silent.
Ye Nanxiao threw out the spatial core array in his hand, his thumbs and index fingers touching.
He took out the spatial soul guide, quickly inserted the spatial core magic array, and aligned it with the direction of the barrier.
"The risk is too great; this experiment is not yet perfect."
An exceptionally fierce blizzard arose within the extreme cold, and snowflakes coalesced into a longsword, merging into the storm of sword intent.
Dozens of silencing beads were laid on the ground, emitting a faint white light.
Under the cover of the blizzard, the silent bead emitting a white light was almost unnoticeable.
"If I can distract that strange bird for even a moment, I can fool it and escape this calamity." Ye Nanxiao's brain was working at high speed, processing information rapidly.
"Holy Son, the immense power within you, my blood." Ye Nanxiao combined the information, raised his left hand like a knife, and forcefully slashed across his right hand.
The blood and qi surged within his body, forcing out a large mass of fresh blood, which froze into tiny particles and dispersed around him.
Ye Nanxiao narrowed his eyes, his anger making him want to do whatever it took.
Forcing himself to remain rational, Ye Nanxiao separated Xiao Ye No. 1 and No. 2. Ice mirrors quickly condensed, and Ye Nanxiao stared intently at the center of the sword intent storm. He was going to take a gamble and see how much the Evil Phoenix cared about his blood.
If we win the bet, we can fool Xie Feng.
At the center of the sword intent storm, a huge ball of black flame exploded, burning a large hole in the storm.
The purplish-black phoenix raised its head, and raging black flames rose in its eyes as it opened its mouth and bit the Emperor's Sword.
"Xue'er, prepare to fully conceal your aura!" Ye Nanxiao roared, making two hand seals with each hand to close the seal within his body.
The thousand-foot-long imperial sword disappeared into the air. A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the purplish-black phoenix as it turned to look at the spot where Ye Nanxiao was standing.
Xiao Ye No. 1 spat out a ball of blood, which turned into a pale red icy mist that drifted away.
Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao's blood, Xie Feng felt her martial spirit cheering, conveying an intense desire.
"I broke through your soul skill, and you suffered a backlash and coughed up blood?" Xie Feng was overjoyed and opened his mouth to inhale the pale red ice mist.
Before he could even feel the power that had captivated him, Xiao Ye No. 2 activated the spatial soul tool and opened a spatial passage. Xiao Ye No. 1 wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, waved to himself, and turned to step into the silvery spatial passage.
"Not good! Ye Nanxiao is trying to escape!" Evil Phoenix was shocked and flapped its huge wings, rushing towards Little Ye No. 1.
Seeing this, Xiao Ye No. 2 released "Birds of Ice Pillars" in an attempt to stop the evil phoenix.
The purplish-black phoenix rapidly shrank, revealing the body of the evil phoenix.
Enveloped in black flames, he walked straight through the "bird ice pillars," shattered Xiao Ye No. 2 with a single palm strike, and reached out to try and grab Xiao Ye No. 1 who had stepped into the spatial passage.
"Bye bye!" Little Ye No. 1 said with a smug smile, raising a middle finger at Xie Feng before disappearing into the spatial passage.
Before he could think further, the black flames on Xie Feng's body turned into a dark red and burned fiercely. His ninth soul ring flashed red light as he crashed headfirst into the entrance of the spatial passage.
