Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

Cao Bing's expression changed slightly. No one would believe that a high-level passenger who had survived this long didn't have any trump cards up his sleeve.

Shi Jian took two steps forward and stood in the open space between the two teams.

His gaze swept over Cao Bing, then over Zhong Xiu, and finally landed on Chen Ye's face. He said in a calm and unhurried tone, "The fact that everyone is so wary of each other will only make it more difficult to kill the Ice Lord of Extreme Cold. We should prioritize passing this trial."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I can tell that the item you have is for stealing the right to kill the Ice Lord. I don't care about that. My requirement is simple: it's fine if you steal the BOSS's kill, but you can't attack the other passengers."

He spoke in a very calm tone, as if stating something perfectly reasonable.

Chen Ye looked at Shi Jian and smiled slightly: "That's natural, after all, killing you won't result in any loot drops."

Shi Jian smiled and said, "I believe you."

He then turned his gaze to Cao Bing: "If Cao Bing is unwilling, let his troops go and try to kill the Extreme Cold Ice Lord first. I will act with you."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yan took a sudden step forward, his voice rising abruptly in the empty hall: "Shi Jian, which train are you on?"

Shi Jian's face suddenly darkened: "This is not your place to speak, you piece of trash."

"you……"

Cao Yan's lips trembled violently.

"Alright," Cao Bing interrupted Cao Yan, "Let's do as Shi Jian says."

Chen Ye turned to Zhong Xiu and said, "You have no objections now, right? If you do, then you can go and exchange a few blows with the Ice Lord first. We can wait until you're dead before we go in."

Zhong Xiu's face turned ashen, a vein throbbed slightly on his temple, and he said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I have no objection."

"Since that's the case, let's not waste any more time. Let's go, kill the Ice Lord of Extreme Cold, and clear this Ice Abyss Trial."

After Chen Ye finished speaking, he led the team to the ice door leading to the next hall.

Lu Qingchuan's team followed closely behind.

Other teams followed suit.

The group walked through the ice crystal corridor.

The ice door at the end of the corridor slid open in front of Chen Ye.

A chill emanated from behind the door, a coldness far more profound than any of the previous halls, as if the chill of the entire icy abyss had converged here, pressing against the skin and seeping into the bones.

Chen Ye paused for a moment at the entrance of the main hall.

The hall was far more spacious than he had expected, with a dome so high that it was almost impossible to see the top. Layers of ice crystals shimmered faintly in the darkness, like a frozen starry sky dome.

In the very center of the hall, a figure sat on an ice crystal throne.

She was an absolutely stunning woman.

Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she were dozing.

She wore a long, ice-blue dress, the hem of which cascaded down from the throne and spread out along the ice on the ground.

Her long hair fell over her shoulders and onto the back of the chair; the color of her hair was an almost transparent, icy white.

Qin Zhaoyang lowered his voice and said, "Is this the Lord of Extreme Cold? Is this a monster?"

Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly: "It was her I sensed."

Cao Bing stood at the front of the crowd, his greatsword already gripped horizontally in his hand, his gaze fixed on the figure sitting on the throne: "Then what are we waiting for? Kill her and complete the trial mission."

He was the first to step into the main hall.

"Let's go in too, but be careful."

Chen Ye turned his head and called out to his teammates.

Gu Qinghuan, Zhao Hai, and the others nodded.

The group of six entered the main hall.

Other teams followed suit and went inside one after another.

Jiang Ning was still walking at the very back.

As the group entered the main hall, the figure on the throne opened his eyes, and a chill emanated from them, silently filling the entire hall.

The Ice Queen slowly stood up, her long, ice-blue dress sliding along the ground, her hair falling to her shoulders. Her movements were unhurried, as if she had just woken from a long slumber.

"Kill her, and the trial will be complete."

The moment Cao Bing finished speaking, the crimson flames around him suddenly surged, and the black giant sword, empowered by the crimson flames, transformed into a towering pillar of fire.

He pushed off the ground with his right foot, and it only took him an instant to go from stillness to sprinting. The ice beneath his feet cracked open in a spiderweb pattern at the spot where he stepped.

Chen Ye had already grasped the Dragon Scale Halberd in his hand. At the same moment that Cao Bing launched his attack, he also moved, his right foot suddenly pushing off the ice, and his body shot out rapidly.

Lu Qingchuan gripped the axe with both hands, following closely beside Chen Ye, their steps almost synchronized.

The pair of golden wings behind Zhong Xiu had already unfolded the moment the Ice Lord of Extreme Cold stood up.

As Cao Bing finished speaking, she took flight, her body tracing a golden arc in mid-air, the golden light on her right fist so bright it was almost blinding.

At the same moment, Gulina's demon wings fully unfolded, the pitch-black wing membrane spreading out a broad, dark arc in the gloom, and her figure rose from the ground.

Gu Qinghuan's six throwing knives drew six intersecting silver lines in the air. The high-speed vibration of the blades created a series of sharp hissing sounds. The six silver lines cut in from different angles, almost blocking all possible evasion directions for the Extreme Cold Ice Master.

Almost everyone launched an attack on the Ice Lord at the same time.

The Ice Lord stood before the throne, watching the attacks surging in from all directions, his expression unchanged.

She raised her right hand, spread her fingers, and then clenched them tightly.

"--laugh."

A very soft sound exploded from her palm.

Centered on her clenched fist, a ring of icy blue shockwave rapidly spread outwards.

The shockwave was accompanied by a layer of frosty white cold air at its edge, and it spread at an astonishing speed. Wherever it passed, the air instantly condensed into fine ice crystals, as if an entire space was frozen at the same time.

Chen Ye was the first to be affected.

He was closest to the Ice Lord, rushing to the front, and the circle of cold air suddenly exploded less than five meters in front of him.

He could feel his movements slowing down, his blood flow slowing, and the temperature of his skin dropping rapidly, with a thin layer of frost spreading up his arm.

But that was all. The resistance brought by his high physique shattered the frost into tiny ice shards, which fell softly from the edge of his sleeve.

Lu Qingchuan did not stop either. His body was covered with a thin layer of ice, but the ice shattered and fell off the moment he took a step.

The crimson flames around Cao Bing's body trembled violently the moment the cold wave touched them, as if they had been suddenly pressed down by an invisible hand, and then lifted up again.

The flames on the black greatsword also contracted slightly at the same moment, but did not go out.

Shi Jian's steps hardly faltered.

His body was covered with a layer of diamond-like, crystalline armor. When the cold wave struck those crystalline plates, the frost was shattered into powder before it could even take shape, and it slid down the seams of his shoulder armor.

Above Zhong Xiu's head hung a palm-sized ancient bronze bell. A pale golden light poured down from the bell's mouth, shielding her from the cold air. The tool used to trap enemies in the Mechanical City had now become a protective shield.

Gu Qinghuan also used a defensive item. A soft light appeared around him, pushing away the incoming cold air and forming an invisible barrier about half a meter away from his body.

Her six throwing knives were thrown several meters away by the cold wave, but she regained control immediately. The knives drew six arcs in the air and gathered back around her, their blades still vibrating rapidly.

Jiang Ning stood at the very back of the group. The Emperor Engine boosted his physique to double, and since he was also the furthest away from the Ice Lord, he was not greatly affected.

Apart from the seven of them, everyone else was swallowed up by that circle of cold air.
