"Click—click—"

The sound of the cracks spreading was particularly muffled underwater, like something enormous was breaking apart.

Soon, a large section of the ice layer at the bottom of the water was torn apart by the crack.

The ancient ice marrow embedded in the ice layer fell off one by one, like blue gems, and slowly floated up in the water.

One, two, three...

Wang Teng acted quickly, gathering all the scattered Xuanbing marrow into his storage soul tool.

Before long, all the extracted millennia-old mystic ice marrow had been collected.

Just as Wang Teng was about to activate the top again to continue mining deeper, a noisy sound suddenly came from above.

It was a mixture of the sounds of metal clashing, soul power exploding, and people shouting.

The sound came through the thick ice and water, becoming muffled and indistinct.

But Wang Teng had excellent hearing; he could tell that there was a fight going on.

"Oops."

Wang Teng's heart sank, and he guessed, "Could it be that the tremor just now attracted the people from the Earth Dragon Gate?"

Wang Teng immediately focused his attention to perceive the specific situation of the battle above.

The fluctuation wasn't too strong, mostly occurring at the Soul Master to Soul King level, and didn't have a particularly terrifying aura.

With Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's strength, they should be able to hold out for a while.

Wang Teng didn't rush up.

He quickly glanced at the remaining Xuanbing Marrow at the bottom of the water and gritted his teeth.

"There is still a lot of Xuanbing Marrow at the bottom of the water, but we can't ignore the situation above."

“Ah Yin.”

Finally, Wang Teng called out in his heart.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Ah Yin's figure flickered slightly, her voice gentle yet firm: "I understand, I'll go up and help."

A golden-blue light shot out from Wang Teng's chest, drawing a graceful arc in the water before breaking through the icy surface.

Ah Yin's body rapidly solidified the moment it left the water.

This is how she borrowed Wang Teng's soul power to create a physical body in the mortal world.

Her deep blue hair flowed in the dim light of the ice cave, and her light blue dress fluttered without wind. Ah Yin looked like a flower blooming from icy water.

At this point, the battle situation by the pool had become quite critical.

Let's go back to when the tremor first occurred.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were standing guard against the ice wall when suddenly the ground shook violently, and several ice spikes fell from the top of the ice cave, smashing to pieces on the ground.

Before the two could react, a series of hurried footsteps and shouts came from the other end of the passage.

"Someone has broken in!"

"It's forbidden territory! Quickly!"

Several disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect, dressed in gray and white outfits, rushed out of the passage.

"First Soul Skill: Earth Dragon Armor!"

Upon entering the ice cave, the person in the lead was already covered in a layer of grayish-white rock armor.

A thin layer of ice automatically condensed on the surface of the armor under the low temperature of the ice cave, gleaming coldly under the light.

"Two little girls!"

The leader spotted Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing at a glance, grinned maliciously, and shouted, "You've got some nerve, daring to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​our Earth Dragon Gate!"

Three more people followed behind him, making a total of four disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect. The one in front had the strongest aura and was a Soul King, while the three behind him were all Soul Sect level.

Without saying a word, Zhu Zhuqing rushed forward in a flash.

"First Soul Skill: Netherworld Thrust!"

Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws shot out, carrying fierce soul power as they pierced straight for the throat of the leading Soul King.

The Soul King reacted quickly, crossing his arms to block the attack in front of his face, the rock armor on his arms withstanding the blow.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Several deep scratches appeared on the armor, but it didn't break.

"What a fierce little girl!"

The Soul King sneered and slammed his claws into the ground.

"Second soul skill: Earth-shattering claw!"

Five sharp rock spikes exploded from beneath his feet, sweeping forward in a fan shape, with icicles still hanging from their tips, emanating a chilling aura.

Zhu Zhuqing turned around, somersaulted on the ice wall, and barely dodged the spikes.

But the icicles still grazed the hem of her clothes, leaving a trail of white frost.

The Soul Sects of the other three Earth Dragon Gates also made their moves.

"Third Soul Skill: Frost Breath!"

One of them took a deep breath, puffed out his cheeks, and exhaled sharply.

A stream of extremely cold air shot out from his mouth, forming a cone shape and enveloping Ning Rongrong.

Wherever that airflow passed, a layer of smooth, thin ice immediately formed on the ground.

Ning Rongrong quickly jumped back, dodging the attack from the other side.

Subsequently, Ning Rongrong also circulated her soul power and activated the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

"Seven treasures transform into crystal, seven treasures have a name!"

"First: Strength! Second: Speed! Third: Spirit! Fourth: Control!"

Four beams of light shot out from the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda and landed precisely on Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt her body lighten, and her strength, speed, soul power, and defense were all greatly enhanced.

With a stomp of her foot, she transformed into several afterimages.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Netherworld Shadow Clone!"

Several identical Zhu Zhuqings appeared simultaneously in the ice cave, rushing towards the three Soul Masters from different directions.

The three were immediately thrown into disarray, unable to tell which was real and which was fake, and could only wildly swing their claws to defend themselves.

"Third Soul Skill: Netherworld Slash!"

Zhu Zhuqing, in her true form, circled around behind a Soul Sect member, her sharp claws slashing down with a ghostly light.

The rock armor behind the Soul Master was torn open, blood splattered, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

But he did not lose his fighting ability. He rolled on the ground, gritted his teeth and got up. The ice on his armor quickly re-frozen, freezing the wound and stopping the bleeding.

The battle lasted less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and Ning Rongrong's soul power was greatly depleted.

She not only had to maintain Zhu Zhuqing's support status, but also had to constantly move her position to avoid being affected by the opponent's cold breath.

The ice on the floor of the ice cave was getting thicker and thicker, and she almost slipped and fell several times as she stepped on it with her boots.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was fast and had sharp attacks, her opponent's defense was simply too thick.

Those three Soul Masters and one Soul King were all clad in Earth Dragon Armor, making attacks feel like hitting a rock; it took a lot of effort to inflict even a little damage.

Moreover, their cold breath caused the temperature in the entire ice cave to drop several degrees, and Zhu Zhuqing's movements were noticeably slower than before.

Just as the two girls were starting to give up, a loud splash came from the other side of the pool, and a golden-blue figure burst out of the water.

The person who came was Ah Yin.

She hovered in mid-air, her long, dark blue hair flowing behind her, surrounded by a faint golden-blue light.

Ah Yin glanced at the battlefield and immediately understood the situation.

"Second Soul Skill: Sacred Firebird Spinning Top!"

With a wave of her hand, Ah Yin conjured a golden-red spinning top in front of her.

The top wasn't large, but the heat it emitted instantly raised the temperature in the ice cave by several degrees.

The thin ice on the ground began to melt, making a sizzling sound.

Ultimate Technique: Celestial Fox Flame!

Golden-red flames erupted from the spinning top, transforming into a blazing tornado of heat that swept towards the four Earth Dragon Sect disciples.

Where the fiery tornado swept, the ice instantly vaporized.

White steam billowed out, making the entire ice cave look like a giant steamer.

The four men had never seen such fierce flames before, and they were terrified, quickly retreating backward.

The two Soul Masters who were charging ahead were unable to dodge and were grazed by the edge of the fiery tornado. Their rock armor cracked on the spot, and the two screamed as they were sent flying backward, crashing into the ice wall and sliding down.

The leading Soul King reacted quickly, rolling away from the front, but his clothes were still burned with several holes, leaving him in a sorry state.

Ah Yin knocked the four of them back with one move, then landed lightly by the pool, blocking Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Without turning around, she asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Ning Rongrong, panting heavily, shook her head: "I can still hold on."

Zhu Zhuqing steadied herself and stood next to A Yin.

The three people formed a triangular formation, facing the direction of the passage.

Before they could even catch their breath, heavy footsteps echoed from the depths of the passage.

The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, but each step felt like a sledgehammer striking the ground, causing the ice cave to tremble slightly.

A powerful soul force, far stronger than that of the previous group, emanated from the passage, as if an invisible hand had reached out from the darkness and gripped the necks of everyone.

Ning Rongrong's face turned pale, and Zhu Zhuqing's pupils also constricted sharply.
