Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 79 Unloading Force
Before long, the cold air entered her body, and Pei Xia's skin showed obvious changes.

Fine ice crystals mixed with blood seeped from his pores, and snow-white frost covered his face, even his eyeballs were covered with a layer of crystal-clear ice.

"I...I..." Xu Shangxin shuffled to her feet and asked Lu Li, "Can I help him? Even just a little bit!"

I can help, but only a little bit.

Even with Li Tan's martial arts physique at the Profound Realm, the icy lotus's chilling energy would likely not last more than a few breaths before it entered his body.

Lu Li watched as Pei Xia slowly stopped shaking her arm, and after a moment of silence, she stopped Xu Shangxin's actions.

She understands Pei Xia.

"Since he won't let us pass, there's still another way."

It wasn't that the elder brother didn't trust Pei Xia or Lu Li, but looking at Pei Xia's body gradually freezing, he really couldn't think of any other solution.

In that moment of hesitation.

A rolling, strange sound came from beneath their feet.

The sound grew closer, accompanied by strange shouts of "ho ho ho ho ho".

Finally, a plump, round thing climbed up to the top of the lotus.

The sphere stretched out its arms and legs in mid-air, returning to its human form. At the same time, with a wave of its chubby hand, a bright yellow cloth strip slid out from its clothes.

Huangfu De laughed heartily: "Snake, catch it!"

The cloth strip was clearly a magical artifact, and unlike ordinary martial arts weapons, it was long and winding, shooting towards Pei Xia like a snake.

Upon touching Pei Xia's body, it immediately began to grow wildly, binding him tightly from head to toe.

Huangfu De was all smiles.

I thought I was wasting my time, but it came to me without any effort at all!
His plump body landed on the ice lotus. He glanced sideways at the three women beside him, not caring about their identities.

Anyway, Luo Xian was talking to Pei Xia, and Huangfu De didn't care whether the others were going to commit crimes or not.

Just as he reached out to lift the slender young master of the Prime Minister's residence, specks of white frost suddenly appeared on the bright yellow cloth.

Then, the white frost quickly enveloped the magical artifact as if it were alive.

And with a grating creak, it ripped the cloth strip to shreds with a "bang"!

Huangfu De was startled. His magic weapon was a genuine rare item. It had been unusable before, but this was the first time it had been destroyed in a fight.

"Good boy!"

Huangfu De, unaware of the situation, assumed it was Pei Xia's doing.

He immediately raised his hand, spiritual energy swirling within his wide sleeves, summoning a cold wind, and then poured out towards Pei Xia.

Pei Xia's eyebrows, which had been frozen solid, trembled slightly. He let out a low growl and struggled to move his frozen body. At the same time, he raised his long sword and thrust it straight at Huangfu De's sleeve!

In terms of cultivation level, Pei Xia is currently only at the Zhen Gang Realm. In pure physical combat, he is no match for Xu Chuan, who is at the Kai Fu Realm.

At this moment, however, the massive icy energy swirling within his body had nowhere to be released.

With the longsword pointed forward, the immense spiritual power burst forth like a floodgate opening, almost instantly crushing the cold wind hidden in Huangfu De's sleeve!
This was completely unexpected by Huangfu De.

The old man's eyes widened, and he suddenly roared. His round belly immediately swelled up as he met the icy lotus spiritual power surging from Pei Xia's sword tip.

Half of Huangfu De's cultivation was concentrated in his belly.

Even so, the surging and vast spiritual power of the ice lotus still pressed his round belly down deeply.

The old man retreated more than ten steps before finally stopping.

His stomach receded, and he rubbed his cold belly button, his gaze towards Pei Xia becoming more wary.

"I thought the Grand General was just making excuses and pretending to comply, but it turns out he really has some skill..."

With a single sword strike, some of the chill within his body dissipated, and Pei Xia's condition visibly improved considerably.

He inhaled the cold air, shook the sword in his hand, and in doing so, brushed away the ice shards from his skin.

Looking up at Huangfu De again, he said, "Transformation Realm, Luo Xian really thinks highly of me. If I'm not mistaken, you must have been one of the former White-Robed Masters."

Huangfu De raised his sleeves and drew in two gusts of wind, which surged towards Pei Xia like long snakes.

He shouted sharply, "And it will be the same from now on!"

Then he shrank back, curled into a ball of flesh, and rammed into Pei Xia! In the world of martial arts, Huangfu De is considered to have a rather diverse range of methods.

But in the end, he was still a martial artist, and what he trusted most was his own martial arts skills.

Pei Xia pointed his sword diagonally, and a chilling aura pierced the air, first slicing through Huangfu De's two gusts of wind.

He then stomped heavily on his foot, and several ice crystals rose from the ground, forming solid ice walls that blocked Huangfu De's path.

However, as the ball of flesh rolled, these ice walls were quickly destroyed one after another.

Being selected for the Palace of the Holy Master, Huangfu De, like Xu Zhuofeng, possessed exceptional cultivation among those of the same level.

Just as Pei Xia was preparing to further rely on Huangfu De to dispel the cold air.

Another figure flew in from afar.

The man moved swiftly, his spiritual energy was abundant, and he was in no way inferior to Huangfu De.

He shouted, "Brother Huangfu, I'll help you take down this scoundrel!"

He then pulled out his pipe and slammed it heavily on the ice.

With this strike, a surge of spiritual energy shot out from beneath the ice like a snake.

Judging from the direction, it seemed to be facing Pei Xia as well.

Unfortunately, just as Huangfu De transformed into a ball of flesh and crashed into Pei Xia, the spiritual energy snakes landed on Huangfu De with a "boom".

A voice burst from the meatball: "Your mother!"

Then the entire ball traced an arc and flew off from the top of the ice lotus.

Pei Xia, holding her longsword, glanced at Old Xu and said quietly, "Isn't this a bit too obvious?"

Xu Zhuofeng rolled his eyes and turned his head away: "Anyway, there's nothing wrong with it on the surface."

Xu Zhuofeng wanted to ask Pei Xiabinglian about it.

But the two didn't have much time to talk.

Soon, Luo Xiaojin also flipped over and jumped onto the ice lotus.

Her cultivation level was low, making the climb difficult. The reason she arrived around the same time as Xu Zhuofeng was because Old Xu secretly timed his attack.

Luo Dubu came up and glanced at him.

They really were all acquaintances.

Xu Shangxin looked at her, her eyes revealing obvious hostility.

Lu Li simply snorted dismissively and turned her head away.

Luo Xiaojin felt no shame; shame was useless.

She drew her sword, pointed it at Pei Xia, and shouted to Xu Zhuofeng, "Senior Xu, since His Highness has promised Huangfu Baiyi to capture Pei Xia and bring him back to the Holy Palace, I suppose His Highness will be generous in rewarding you if you can achieve this great feat."

Xu Zhuofeng's face twitched, and he did not immediately agree.

He knew he had no right to refuse, or if he were to defy the imperial decree, he would have to silence him.

Huangfu De has already gone down, and it will take time for him to climb back up. If we kill Luo Xiaojin now and let Pei Xia leave, we can make up whatever we want after that.

He looked behind Luo Xiaojin, where Xu Mou and Xu Chuan had just climbed up.

Xue Dao and Bing Jian's cultivation levels are both above Luo Xiaojin's. As long as he gives the order, this lackey of the Insect and Bird Division will be killed without a complete corpse.

Xu Zhuofeng looked up at Pei Xia, his eyes sparkling.

But Pei Xia shook her head at him.

He had no intention of saving Luo Xiaojin's life.

What he wants to save now is his own life.

He opened his mouth and exhaled a thick, cold breath. He still had a lot of Ice Lotus power left in his body, and he would need to consume at least half of it before he could resolve the situation.

Pei Xia raised her longsword and pointed it directly at Xu Zhuofeng: "Old dog Xu Zhuofeng, prepare to die!"

This is Chapter Three.
