Chapter 291 Elementalization [Requesting monthly votes!]

[The Ice Cave Passage of the Starfrost Sect's Underground Base]

"sister"

Chen Kong's voice carried surprise, yet also a hint of subconscious fear.

After all, the circumstances he had experienced growing up had ingrained Chen Kong's fear of Chen Xing almost to his very bones.

But when he saw that familiar red figure, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down.

After all, if things continue as they are now, they might not only fail to rescue Isabel, but they could also lose their own lives.

However, Chen Xing seemed not to hear Chen Kong's words at all, and didn't even glance at him.

Chen Xing walked straight past him, and wherever she passed, the chill in the passage began to recede rapidly, replaced by a scorching heat, as if an invisible flame was burning around her.

Soon, the thick ice that had covered the walls of the passage began to melt with a 'sizzling' sound.

Water droplets slid down the wall and gathered into tiny streams on the ground.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Dust Star, Jeremiah abandoned the ease he had shown when dealing with Dust Sky and the others, and his expression became serious.

"Chen Xing, it's been so long, you've really gotten stronger."

Chen Xing did not respond, but slowly drew the demon sword hanging on his lower back.

The blade had barely left its sheath when it already emitted a piercing heat.

Under the influence of this heat wave, not only was the ice fog in the passage instantly dispelled, but even the melting ice water on the ground began to evaporate, turning into white water vapor.
Seeing this, Danica, who was standing next to her, took a few steps back with practiced ease, and then ran away as fast as her short legs could carry her.

At the same time, she did not forget to convey the message of the Heavenly Dao to Chen Kong and the others.

"Mr. Chenkong, Mr. Tiandao said that you should hurry up and rescue Miss Isabel! Leave this to us!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kong first glanced at the prison area where Isabel was located outside the passage not far away.

She glanced at Danica, who was carrying a small backpack and looked tiny, and asked worriedly, "What about you? Will you be in danger staying here?"

Danica's response was quite relaxed.

"Oh, I'm fine, because I'm very strong!"

As she spoke, Danica raised her little fist.

This implies that despite her small stature, she is actually quite capable in combat!
However, not only Dust Sky, but even the viewers on Station 13 didn't quite believe Danica's words.

The reason is simple: Danica hasn't made a single move so far.

The only time he ever subtly expressed his true strength.

That is, when he was in the Steam City, he earned the title of the youngest Star Envoy of the Steam City Association, and the Heavenly Dao gave him a special evaluation.

Apart from that, Danica has no other real 'achievements'.

However, before Chen Kong could speak again, Chen Xing's voice suddenly rang out.

"Don't worry about her. Even if you die here, she'll be fine."

"what?"

Upon hearing Chen Xing's words, Chen Kong was stunned.

Liu Ma and Vivian, who had just escaped their predicament, also looked equally astonished.

Although no matter how they viewed her, Danica was just a child who needed protection, Chenxing's words were never unfounded.

"go!"

Liu Ma was the first to react and grabbed Chen Kong's arm.

As Chen Xing continued to draw the demonic sword from his waist, the heat wave inside the passage grew increasingly intense, making it difficult to breathe.

If they don't leave now, they might never have another chance to leave.

Upon learning of this situation, the three of them did not hesitate and immediately ran towards the prison area.

Jeremiah acted as if he didn't see them, his gaze fixed on Dust Star.

In the face of an absolute powerhouse, insignificant people don't even deserve his attention.

Soon, only Duststar, Danica, and Jeremiah remained in the empty passage.

Danica leaned against the wall of the corridor, took out a bag of potato chips from her backpack, and slowly began to eat.

Strangely, neither the flames of the dust stars nor the chill of Jeremiah could be contained.

After getting a certain distance away from Danika, they all mysteriously disappeared. Although the Stellaris production team hasn't explained how she did it, this undoubtedly confirms what Duststar just said.

This seemingly harmless little guy is far more special than many people think.

At the same time, Chen Kong and the others left.

The air between Dust Star and Jeremiah was so tense that even the sound of water droplets falling to the ground was exceptionally clear.

hum!
Without any pleasantries or probing, Chenxing decisively drew his demonic sword.

The crimson blade flashed through the air, carrying a scorching wave of heat as it hurtled toward Jeremiah's face.

Jeremiah's pupils contracted sharply, and a phantom image of scales instantly appeared behind him.

That was his star source—the Indolent Arbiter.

Click!

A flash of light appeared on both sides of the scale, and Dust Star's unstoppable crimson slash was frozen in mid-air, eventually dissipating without a trace under the influence of the scale's power.

Seeing this, a hint of interest flashed in Chen Xing's beautiful crimson eyes.

Although she didn't know how Jeremiah had done it, her intuition told her that it was definitely related to Jeremiah's star source.

"Your Star Source is quite interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xing lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his figure instantly appeared behind Jeremiah.

The next second, the demon sword in her hand swirled with spiraling flames, distorting the surrounding air, and the blade's light pointed straight at Jeremiah's back.

This strike was swift and ruthless, even the afterimage carried a scorching heat.

However, Jeremiah seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and a thick layer of ice instantly formed on the ground, attempting to trap Dust Star's steps.

However, the ice that made it difficult for Liu Ma to move was burned into water vapor by the 'blood flames' around Chen Xing the moment it touched her body.

Stab it!

With the sound of ice crystals shattering, Jeremiah's right arm was severed at the shoulder and fell to the ground.

Before the dimensional audience could even gasp in surprise, Dust Star strangely stopped his attack, frowned as he looked at Jeremiah, his tone tinged with doubt.

"Strange, rationally speaking, I should continue pursuing you at this point."

"But my intuition tells me that getting close to you now would cause a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Jeremiah looked at his severed arm lying on the ground and gave a bitter smile.

"As expected of the demon sword that the doctor described as being able to dominate the battlefield with just instinct, your intuition is a bit unreasonable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeremiah's severed arm, which had fallen to the ground, exploded into a cloud of icy mist.

At the same time, his right arm began to refreeze at a visible speed amidst layers of pale blue ice crystals, and quickly returned to a complete arm, with even the sleeve intact.

Seeing this, Chen Xing raised an eyebrow, and a rare look of approval appeared in his crimson eyes.

"I see. You've already achieved basic elementalization?"

Jeremiah nodded, but there was no hint of pride in his words.

"It was just completed recently."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing smiled.

But this smile wasn't necessarily a good thing for Jeremiah.

“Jeremiah, you are indeed very interesting, but this is for the best.”

"Because that way, I won't have to worry about too much."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared again.

This time, the crimson blades rained down like a storm, and the scorching heatwave dyed the entire passage red, a stark contrast to Jeremiah's extreme cold.

The clash between ice and fire exploded within the passageway, each encounter causing the ground to shake violently.

Jeremiah, who had previously completely overwhelmed Chen Kong and the others, was now utterly powerless against Chen Xing.

The prestige of the star rankings has been proven once again, demonstrating its strict hierarchy.

PS: That concludes today's update.
