What appeared before Qian Renxue was the familiar sight of those towering, majestic snow peaks.
An ice-cold white palace, resembling a cave.
Various ice sculptures of soul beasts hung upside down from the palace ceiling, transparent and refracting white light.
Below, on the ground, was an odd cold spring.
In this bitterly cold place, the spring showed no signs of freezing.
Two snow peaks rose from it, carrying a chilling aura.
The Ice Empress, who was gracefully rising from the cold spring when Qian Renxue appeared, immediately noticed him.
Both locked their gazes on each other.
"It's you...?"
The Ice Empress's ethereal, clear blue eyes reflected the black figure before her.
Her expressionless ice-cold face held a hint of doubt.
Clearly, she remembered Qian Renxue's previous visit.
"Long time no see."
Qian Renxue's voice was calm as he stared directly at the cold spring.
In his Spirit Avatar state,
even knowing this wasn't the best approach,
Qian Renxue wouldn't turn around and put himself in danger.
Expressionless, unwavering,
he stared directly at the vibrant and fragrant beauty within the ice cave.
A graceful and enchanting snow lotus rose slowly from the water, emanating cold air.
Ice dew hung, like jade beads about to fall.
Flawlessly white above and below, with soft curves, a perfect figure, and nothing to hide.
Swish~!
The Ice Empress didn't abandon her intention to come ashore because of Qian Renxue's presence.
She placed her delicate, white bare feet on the shore.
Water droplets on her white hair turned into ice crystals, cascading like a silver river down to her ankles.
The Ice Empress faced the black angel.
Her snow-white, jade-like body stood before Qian Renxue.
Her eyes were pure, like those of a baby who had never experienced the outside world.
Her face was noble and pristine.
Snowy neck, full breasts, slender waist, and beautiful hips.
Her entire body, except for a few hints of rosy color, resembled transparent ice crystals.
There was not a trace of human blood.
The Ice Empress didn't bend down to pick up the long skirt on the shore, but instead raised her slender arm.
As her snow-white arm moved,
her long, white jade fingers glowed, pointing directly at Qian Renxue.
A gust of extremely cold wind blew towards him.
Qian Renxue stood still.
Being immune to ice, this attack had no effect on him.
It only covered his clothes with frost.
"Human, what is your purpose here?"
The Ice Empress's voice was crisp and clear, cold, refreshing, and pleasant.
Her exquisite, ethereal face showed no emotion.
Only her usual coolness.
Seeing that the evil six-winged angel before her showed no fear,
her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
The cold wind within the cave intensified, and vaguely, ice blades seemed to form,
sweeping towards Qian Renxue.
Clang!
The Evil God's Heart at the center of Qian Renxue's brow flickered.
Dark black wind blades slashed out, extinguishing the unformed ice blades.
"Your Excellency Ice Empress, I have no malicious intent."
"But you attacked me."
The Ice Empress tilted her head slightly, the energy on her fingertips growing stronger.
The cold wind within the cave carried ice shards, creating a tornado.
"Bing'er said that anyone who dares to attack should be shattered first."
As she spoke,
the Ice Empress, still unclothed, raised her delicate, beautiful feet, stepping on ice step by step,
approaching Qian Renxue.
"You attacked first, I'm just defending myself."
Qian Renxue frowned as he looked at the slightly pulsating icy skin.
This Ice Empress seemed difficult to communicate with.
A hurricane emerged from the Evil God's Heart.
With Qian Renxue as the eye of the storm, it protected him from head to toe.
The Evil God Hook behind him was ready to retreat at any moment.
"I attacked first?"
The Ice Empress paused, her hand that was about to grasp froze.
What this human said seemed to make sense.
She had attacked first.
Just as the energy on the Ice Empress's fingertips gradually dissipated,
Qian Renxue frowned even more deeply, and seven soul rings rotated continuously beneath his feet.
The Ice Empress's gaze also turned to the 'skylight' of the cave.
"Despicable human, die!"
A delicate voice filled with hostility came from outside, carried by the wind and snow.
Echoing within the quiet cave.
Pfft—!
Qian Renxue immediately turned around, and the hurricane protecting his body instantly collapsed.
Whoosh!
The Fallen Angel Domain unfolded!
The Evil God Hook straightened, stabbing forward, colliding with the incoming emerald green.
Clang—!
Two scorpion tails touched, creating sparks.
Qian Renxue grunted, his six wings fluttering as he retreated violently into the air.
The Evil God Hook behind him swayed constantly, dissipating the force.
"Bing'er."
The Ice Empress's calm voice sounded.
"Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor?!"
A white light flashed in Qian Renxue's blood-red eyes as he finally saw the object before him clearly.
It was a scorpion with two colors.
One was the color of ice, and the other was emerald green.
It was about meters long.
The front of its body was composed of four overlapping layers, each layer slightly more than half a foot long.
Its head was located on the frontmost layer.
Its silver-white mouthparts, the front half of its body was covered with hexagonal protrusions.
Both of its front pincers were one meter long.
The front pincers were also covered with hexagonal, diamond-like protrusions.
Only the front clamps and mouthparts were the same.
They were silver-white with a mirror-like luster, and the eyes were yellow hexagons.
Unlike the multi-segmented tail of ordinary scorpions,
its tail had five segments, each emerald green.
The widest was the one closest to the upper body, and it narrowed towards the back.
At the end, there was also a silver-white tail hook with hexagonal diamond particles.
At this moment, the long tail was only trembling slightly.
"Sister!"
The Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor twisted its head.
Its yellow eyes reflected the undulating ice-jade body.
The temperature inside the cave plummeted.
"This damn human! He dares to desecrate my sister!"
The Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor's voice was even more hostile, its six long legs piercing the ice layer,
and the sound of shattering continued to ring out.
In just an instant, it appeared before Qian Renxue, its silver-white clamps cutting towards his head.
"I think you've misunderstood, I have no malicious intent."
Qian Renxue explained calmly.
He poured black ice into a long sword, immediately swinging out several sword energies, retreating backward.
Even though Qian Renxue could deal with a Titled Douluo,
he was still no match for the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor with nearly 400,000 years of cultivation.
Fighting head-on was impossible.
"Go explain in hell!"
The Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor's voice was ice-cold, its killing intent awe-inspiring.
As its large clamps swung, ice and snow wind blades surged.
It actually wanted to make it wear a green hat.
It must die!
The Ice Empress watched Qian Renxue retreating continuously in the air, without saying much.
He was just an insignificant human.
Even if she was curious.
Buzz!
"Seventh Soul Skill: Spirit Avatar!"
A blood-colored light enveloped most of the cave, and a dark black six-winged angel rose from the ground.
Instantly dissolving the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor's attack.
Seeing the blood-colored soul rings, the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor was even more furious.
"Human... you truly deserve to die!"
It wasn't just it.
Even the Ice Empress's eyes showed a hint of coldness.
Swoosh—
An emerald green beam seemed to cross space, and the Eternal Night Sky was shattered into ice.
The black sword in the hands of the Six-Winged Fallen Angel True Body turned into ice crystals.
Boom!
The dark black figure crashed into the ice wall, causing the entire cave to shake.
Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival (ˊωˋ*)
