Chapter 50: The Reappearance of Xue Lian

  Zhang Heng didn't need to look back to know that the person coming from behind was undoubtedly Zhao Rui. However, he had some doubts - hadn't the other party already left Duguang Fortress? Why were they suddenly chasing after him now?

  He didn't know that Zhao Rui was just waiting at the castle gate because Zhang Heng owed him four crystal stones. But as soon as Zhang Heng came out of the castle, he flew away quickly, and by the time Zhao Rui reacted, Zhang Heng had already flown far away, and his speed was also a bit faster than Zhao Rui's.

  So, it wasn't until now that Zhao Rui finally caught up here.

  He glanced back and found that Zhao Rui was still over a hundred meters away from him, while Luo Ningxue was about forty or fifty meters away.

  At Zhang Heng's speed of driving the Ling instrument, he can completely catch up with Luo Ningxue in front, kill this woman, and then get rid of Zhao Rui at ease, or kill him together.

  Zhang Heng's eyes revealed a cold indifference, ignoring Zhao Rui behind him, and continued to chase after Luo Ningxue.

  However, at this moment, Luo Ningxue who was flying in front suddenly stopped, and a chill appeared for the first time in her originally calm and peaceful eyes.

  A fierce white light burst out from her body again, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to throb. A strong spiritual pressure spread throughout an area of dozens of meters around her.

  Her slender fingers tapped a few times in the void, and countless jumping symbols appeared in front of her, all composed of those white light points.

  At the same time, she also bowed her head and quietly recited an obscure and incomprehensible incantation, a special ripple rising in the surrounding space.

  Zhang Heng felt a very bad feeling in his heart, he felt that Luo Ningxue seemed to be going all out this time, and her body suddenly stopped in mid-air.

  In the space of a few breaths, a three-dimensional array composed of white light appeared in the void. Countless runes swam inside the array like tadpoles, as if it were a self-contained world.

  Vibrant light bursts forth in this array, stirring up the surrounding spiritual energy.

  Luo Ningxue lightly opened her jade lips, and a mouthful of vital blood splashed onto this strange and unparalleled three-dimensional array.

  A loud humming noise, a burst of sharp light from the formation, and a powerful ripple surged out of it.

  Zhang Heng quickly cast a Wind Shield spell on himself, and a faint blue glow enveloped him. At the same time, he switched the Wu Ling Sword from under his feet to his hand.

  He then consumed some of his magic power and cast a spiritual force shield on himself, with a faint silver glow protecting him tightly.

  At this moment, the formation in front of Ning Xue Rong disappeared and was replaced by a gigantic snow lotus. This snow lotus was as high and large as a house, emitting a chilling aura that pierced to the bone.

  There is a visible mist in the air like ice crystals, with this giant snow lotus as the center, spreading out in all directions.

  As soon as he saw this snow lotus, Zhang Heng's expression changed, and he couldn't help but think of the giant snow lotus that Ning Xue had transformed into earlier, but compared to the house-sized snow lotus in front of him, it was different.

  This giant snow lotus is composed entirely of a crystalline substance, and under the afterglow of sunset, it emits a soft and dazzling halo.

  Luo Ningxue and Ning Xuerong, what is their relationship?

  At the moment when the formation disappeared and Xue Lian appeared, Luo Ningxue's face turned even paler, her eyes closed weakly, and her delicate body fell towards the bottomless abyss like a weightless goose feather, as if she had already lost all her vitality...

  "Luoshi Mei!" Zhao Rui exclaimed, the spiritual tool under his feet bursting into a dazzling red light, its speed increasing by several degrees as it rapidly flew towards the direction where Luoxing Snow was falling.

  At this moment, the giant snow lotus in the void seemed to have a spiritual nature, tightly locking onto Zhang Heng. Petals of ice crystals mixed with chilling air shot rapidly towards Zhang Heng's direction.

  Zhang Heng was shocked and didn't expect Luo Ningxue to have such a killer move. He hastily used the Wind Shield Technique, retreating his body quickly while also manipulating the Wuling Sword to slash at the giant ice crystal petals that were shooting towards him.

  "Ding" had lost the support of Zhang Heng's essence, and the Wuling Sword slashed onto a piece of ice crystal petal, instantly emitting a sound like metal clashing.

  But those ice crystal petals were undamaged, and instead, a layer of frost had formed on Zhang Heng's Wuling Sword, immediately slowing down his speed by several points.

  Zhang Heng's expression changed greatly, he didn't expect that Xue Lian actually had such ability, the ice crystal petals she casually released could contend with a spiritual artifact, and even came with an additional effect of freezing and slowing down.

  At this moment, several other ice crystal petals also pounced on Zhang Heng, and the surrounding air temperature dropped by tens of degrees instantly.

  These petals flew at a speed that was even faster than ordinary spiritual flying swords and quickly approached Zhang Heng's body.

  Looking at the huge snow lotus petals rushing towards him, Zhang Heng knew that he couldn't escape and the Wuling Sword on the other side wouldn't be able to come to his aid in time.

  A resolute look flashed in his eyes, Zhang Heng suddenly stopped and didn't retreat, but instead flew towards the snow lotus petals.

  A layer of silver light was flowing faintly on his fist, Zhang Heng let out a loud shout, his body shot forward rapidly, and he fiercely punched the ice crystal flower petal.

  "Explode!"

  All of his physical strength, plus ten percent of his refined spiritual energy, this one punch had Zhang Heng use up all his might.

  "Bang" Bing Xue Lian and Zhang Heng's fists collided with a loud crash.

  A few cracks appeared on the snow-white flower petals like ice crystals.

  Zhang Heng was neither sad nor happy, both fists moved at the same time, and he fiercely pounded away like punching a sandbag.

  "Bang bang bang......" At this moment, Zhang Heng seemed to have transformed into the world's top boxer, and in the blink of an eye, he had thrown out a dozen or so punches.

  A crisp crackling sound, under Zhang Heng's stormy strike, no matter how hard the snow lotus petal was, it could only end in shattering.

  Turned into countless ice crystal fragments, this petal's mission has been completed.

  At this moment, several ice crystal petals came flying towards him. Zhang Heng's expression changed slightly, but he immediately burst out laughing: What can you do to me now?

  With a "whoosh", the Wuling Sword was put away by Zhang Heng into his storage bag.

  A surge of wild passion completely boiled Zhang Heng's heart.

  No longer able to care about the Ice Petal Strike's destruction of his Wind Control Technique, Zhang Heng's body freely fell downwards, rapidly plummeting into the boundless abyss.

  Those dozen or so snow lotus petals were biting tightly onto Zhang Heng, not relaxing in the slightest. As for the snow lotus's main body, Zhang Heng had already stopped paying attention to it.

  "A few strands of cold air surged towards Zhang Heng, and two snow lotus petals were already close by."

  "Bang bang bang...... I'll smash you all to death."

  Zhang Heng's fists opened left and right, although his body was still rapidly falling, but he didn't forget to fiercely smash those snow lotus petals.

  A layer of frost invaded Zhang Heng's body, but was soon refined by the passing Lianxu spiritual energy, and Zhang Heng felt that his own spiritual energy could still be replenished in this situation.

  His heart thrilled with excitement, Zhang Heng waved his fist and charged at the snow lotus petal, even withdrawing the spiritual energy shield on his body.

  Then, there appeared such a strange picture: A young man was falling into the bottomless abyss, the surrounding mountains were moving rapidly upwards, and in front of him, several large ice crystal petals were constantly emitting icy air mixed with ice crystals. The young man, regardless of the bottomless abyss beneath his feet, was excitedly waving his fists like a wild man, fiercely striking the surrounding flower petals, with a dazed and drunken expression in his eyes...

  "Ka ka ka..." Several petals were continuously shattered by Zhang Heng, and the spiritual power within him did not dissipate, but instead showed a subtle upward trend.

  "Haha, what can you do to me?" Zhang Heng's figure rapidly descended, completely disregarding the clouds and fog swirling beneath his feet in the boundless chasm.

  At this moment, he was like an ancient demon god, looking down on heaven and earth with disdain.

  However, at this moment, Zhang Heng felt something was wrong. His gaze swept down and he found that his descending speed had reached an astonishing level. He could already see the black land and rocks below his feet.

  Falling from an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters to the ground, even Zhang Heng's mutated body could not withstand it.

  As soon as he had the idea, Zhang Heng's body spun around and a clear stream appeared, producing an upward buoyancy in an instant.

  At this urgent moment, Zhang Heng could only do so much to salvage the situation and hastily cast a Floating Air Technique. In fact, even if he could have cast the Wind Control Technique in such high-speed movement, it would have been of no use anyway.

  "Bang", a figure fell from the sky and smashed heavily onto the ground.

  Mud splashed everywhere, his body sank into the ground more than half a meter deep, and pounded out a trench in the shape of his body.

  "Damn it." Zhang Heng cursed loudly in the pit, his body wracked with pain.

  Even with the Floating Technique as a buffer, Zhang Heng still fell quite heavily, but it wasn't fatal. If an ordinary low-ranking cultivator had taken that fall, they would have been smashed to pieces.

  Just then, a dozen or so large flower petals fell from the sky, carrying ice crystals with them, and heavily smashed down, instantly flooding the pit where Zhang Heng was.

  "Ah." Zhang Heng let out a miserable cry and then lost his voice.

  Not to mention, after about two or three breaths of time, a thrilling spiritual wave came from the sky, and the temperature within tens of meters dropped by tens of degrees in an instant. The chilling cold was enough to freeze people into zombies.

  "Boom boom boom......"

  A gigantic ice crystal lotus as large as a house fell from the sky and smashed into the deep pit where Zhang Heng was located.

  Ice crystals scattered, dust flying everywhere, thunderous sounds never-ending in ears.

  In an instant, the ground within tens of meters was covered with a layer of frost. Zhang Heng's location was enveloped by a gigantic ice crystal, and the temperature here was frighteningly low, enough to snap iron and shatter gold, causing water to freeze into ice.

  As the rumbling echoes faded away between the mountains, it fell into a dead silence in no time, as if announcing an unfortunate ending...
