His icy blue eyes were filled with stubbornness and determination. Her slender hands moved quickly, forming hand seals and gathering the last remnants of Ice God essence within her body to condense a thin, semi-transparent ice wall.
The ice wall was thin and fragile, with sparse frost patterns on its surface and fluctuating spiritual energy. It seemed that a gust of wind could destroy it, but it was the last barrier he could build with all his current strength.
“You think you can stop me with just this weak glimmer of ice power?”
Jin Wuhao chuckled, his eyes filled with cruel mockery, and casually waved his hand.
A powerful and dense golden palm strike penetrated the air, its power steady and domineering, hitting the ice wall heavily.
With a sharp cracking sound, the ice wall shattered instantly, turning into countless sparkling white ice shards and drifting in the wind. The remaining power of the palm strike, without reducing, hit Jiang Xuelan’s chest and stomach.
Jiang Xuelan’s slender body was thrown backwards like a broken jade butterfly, floating more than ten feet into the air before hitting a pile of jagged boulders heavily. His chest was crushed violently, and a mouthful of red blood spurted out, staining his white clothes.
He slumped down a pile of rocks, his limbs weak and numb. The cold air turned around and attacked his meridians. No matter how hard he tried, he was no longer able to support his body and could only collapse helplessly.
“Xue Lan!”
David’s eyes immediately turned red, and a heart-wrenching pain enveloped him. Ignoring the excruciating pain caused by the rupture of his meridians, he lifted his feet and rushed to Jiang Xuelan’s side.
A moment later, a golden figure suddenly shifted to the side, firmly blocking his path and blocking all escape routes.
The restored divine emperor’s power split from the sky, and a ten thousand feet long golden sword beam pressed down, carrying the pure divine power of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, sealing all angles of David’s evasion.
Helpless, David forcefully activated the last shred of chaotic energy remaining in his depleted dantian and used his sword to repel the attack.
clang !
An ear-piercing metallic clank rang out, and a powerful wave of energy shot straight up the arm of the sword.
David’s legs were unable to bear the weight, and his knees hit the scorched hard ground heavily, causing dust to fly everywhere.
The excruciating pain from the fracture spread from his knee to his entire body, his muscles and bones were numb, and his blood and qi flowed in reverse.
“That’s all your strength?”
Jin Wuhao lowered his head, his eyes full of mockery, “Where did your sharpness go, the sharpness that has killed me twenty times? How did you extinguish the flames of chaos that destroyed my divine authority and burned my soul?”
He suddenly exerted force on his wrist, pressing the holy sword down by about an inch.
Crackling-!
David’s shoulder bones made a cracking sound because they couldn’t support the weight. Excruciating pain pierced his soul. His arms trembled violently, and the cracks in his meridians spread rapidly. Blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth, dripping onto the ground and spreading to form dark red bloodstains.
Jin Wuhao lifted his foot, put all his strength into his toes, and stepped heavily on David’s back.
Click!
Several ribs were broken in a row, and the excruciating pain instantly paralyzed David’s senses. He felt the sweet taste in his throat, let out a muffled groan, and his body went limp. His fingers slipped away, and the Dragon Slayer Sword slid to the ground with a sharp thud.
“You killed me twenty times.”
Jin Wuhao slowly bent down, increased the pressure with his toes, and looked down at David, who was suffering greatly under him, his smile became even more intense, “I will torture you for twenty days.”
Every day, one of your cultivation meridians will be destroyed, and the source of chaos will be sealed, forcing you to watch helplessly as your cultivation disappears, your foundation collapses, and you become crippled.
“Twenty days later, your original divine soul will be extracted and confined in the Divine Race’s Burning God Hell, where you will be tortured day and night, and will never be reborn.”
He stretched out his fingertips, which were still warm from his divine power, and gripped David’s chin tightly, forcibly lifting his head and forcing himself to look directly at that haughty and arrogant face: “Where is the mastermind you’ve been relying on? Why hasn’t he appeared to save you? The situation has reversed, do you still have any trump cards?”
Despite the excruciating pain and blood flowing profusely, David’s purple eyes showed no fear, despair, or surrender. Instead, a faint, understanding, and hopeful smile appeared on his face.
The smile was faint, but it penetrated the blood red color on his body, making it very clearly visible.
His voice was weak and hoarse as he spoke, each word carefully and thoughtfully said: “Jin Wuhao do you really think you have won?”
Jin Wuhao frowned, a hint of impatience flashing through his eyes: “Even when death is near, you still dare to be stubborn.”
“I told you, I have a strong backer, and he will definitely come to save me!” David said.
“Where is he? Where is the mastermind behind all this?” Jin Wuhao grabbed David and asked with a smug look on his face.
“Jin Wuhao, you can curse me, but you must absolutely not curse the master behind me,” David shouted sharply, his eyes wide.
Jin Wuhao was stunned. He didn’t curse at all.
However, since David had said that, Jin Wuhao felt he should offer a few words of criticism.
“I will curse you to the bone! That influential supporter of yours is complete nonsense, bastard. In front of our young master, he is nothing more than a chicken”
Jin Wuhao enjoyed his cursing very much, but before he finished, he felt something was wrong, because the more he cursed, the more happily David laughed.
Suddenly, Jin Wuhao seemed to have a bad feeling.
Before he could react, he realized that the hand he was holding for David had suddenly disappeared.
His hand was gone, but he didn’t feel anything.
But somehow, a middle-aged man appeared beside David.
