Chapter 868: No Escape
Despite this, Xue Wei’s eyes still flickered with cruelty and arrogance.
"You indeed have some skills, but today, you can’t escape!"
The group continued fighting for a while, and the intense battle scene made the entire snowfield tremble.
Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao teamed up against Xue Wei, and although they had some advantage, Xue Wei’s strength was not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Xue Tianhan, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly launched a surprise attack.
He silently moved to Ye Qingchen’s back, gathering a strong icy aura in his hand.
This aura carried a piercing cold, like an ice snake, swiftly attacking Ye Qingchen’s back.
"Ye Qingchen, watch out!" Xue Zhao shouted in shock when she saw this, but it was already too late.
Ye Qingchen felt the chill from behind and instinctively turned around, but he was too late to completely dodge.
Xue Tianhan’s icy attack hit his shoulder hard, and the cold aura instantly invaded his body.
Ye Qingchen groaned, his body shaken back several steps by the massive impact, the clothing on his shoulder instantly covered in frost, the cold eroding his flesh, causing intense pain.
Xue Tianhan’s face showed a smug smile, his attack succeeded, and he quickly intensified his offensive, wanting to take Ye Qingchen down in one fell swoop.
He quickly formed hand seals, ice elements gathering into a frost longsword, slicing fiercely towards Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen, enduring the intense pain in his shoulder, swiftly mobilized the wood element within him, forming a green energy shield to barely block Xue Tianhan’s attack.
However, due to the injury on his shoulder, his defense appeared somewhat strenuous.
Seeing this, Xue Wei’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sneered, "Ye Qingchen, do you still think you can beat me now?"
As he spoke, the ice element in his hand rapidly gathered, forming a frost storm, sweeping towards Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao.
The ice blades in the storm carried a sharp chill, frantically slicing through their defenses.
Xue Zhao gritted her teeth, quickly waving her hands, and an ice wall formed by the ice element appeared in front of her, barely blocking Xue Wei’s attack.
However, her face had turned pale, obviously bearing a huge pressure.
"Ye Qingchen, can you still hold on?" Xue Zhao asked through gritted teeth.
Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, enduring the intense pain in his shoulder, his gaze determined: "Don’t worry, I won’t die!"
The two once again mobilized their internal elemental power, intending to continue resisting the attacks of Xue Wei and Xue Tianhan.
However, Xue Tianhan’s sneak attack put them at a great disadvantage.
Ye Qingchen’s injury affected his combat power, and Xue Zhao also became somewhat strained due to the continuous high-intensity battle.
Xue Wei coldly laughed as he watched them, a hint of pride in his eyes: "Your struggle is futile. Today, you will all become part of the snowfield!"
After speaking, the ice element in his hand burst with intense light once again, the frost storm becoming even more fierce.
Xue Tianhan also took the opportunity to intensify his offensive, the icy longsword carrying a sharp chill, continuously attacking Ye Qingchen’s weak points.
Under this immense pressure, Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao began to feel somewhat helpless.
Ye Qingchen’s defense started showing flaws, and Xue Zhao’s ice wall also began to collapse. The two’s faces grew increasingly pale, clearly reaching their limits.
Xue Wei watched as Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao’s resistance gradually weakened, a sneer appearing on his face. He slowly took out the Clan’s Guardian Stone from his pocket, this gemstone emitting a cold blue light, as if it contained endless cold within it.
"Since it has come to this, let me show you the true power of the Clan’s Guardian Stone!" Xue Wei sneered as he spoke.
He raised the Clan’s Guardian Stone, quickly forming hand seals, muttering incantations.
With his spell, the Clan’s Guardian Stone began to emit a strong light, the blue light rapidly spreading, shrouding the entire Secret Realm.
Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao felt a powerful pressure pressing from all sides towards them, as if the entire space was trembling with the power of the Clan’s Guardian Stone.
Xue Wei continued injecting energy, his hands slightly trembling, yet his face was full of pride and arrogance.
The power of the Clan’s Guardian Stone grew stronger, the blue light becoming increasingly dazzling, as if it wanted to engulf everything.
Meanwhile, outside the Secret Realm, Xiao Xiao also felt the change in the Clan’s Guardian Stone. She stood in a hidden place, hands clenched tightly, closing her eyes, starting to silently operate the energy within her body.
With the resonance of the Clan’s Guardian Stone, Xiao Xiao’s body began to emit the same blue light, energy gradually converging on her hands.
Xiao Xiao felt the power of the Clan’s Guardian Stone, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but eventually, she resolutely started to exert strength.
She knew that only by doing so could she save her young master.
The light of the Clan’s Guardian Stone grew stronger, Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao felt an invisible force trying to seal them within this snowfield.
Ye Qingchen clenched his teeth, fiercely resisting this force.
Xue Wei watched their struggle, sneering: "You may struggle, but no matter how you struggle, there’s no chance of escape!"
After speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his hands, injecting more energy into the Clan’s Guardian Stone.
The blue light erupted instantly, forming a massive energy fluctuation, sweeping towards Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao. Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao were continuously pushed back by the powerful energy shock, feeling their internal strength rapidly weaken.
At this moment, a huge white energy vortex suddenly appeared behind Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao. The vortex resembled a massive tornado between heaven and earth, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
The core of the vortex was a dazzling white light, as if countless stars were flickering within, emanating a blinding light.
This white vortex slowly rotated, and with each rotation, the surrounding space seemed to distort, emitting a low rumbling sound.
Powerful suction erupted from the vortex, like an invisible giant hand, trying to draw Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao into it.
Ye Qingchen felt the immense pressure from behind, quickly turned, his face solemn. He sensed that the suction was immensely powerful, as if it wanted to tear his body apart.
Xue Zhao was similarly shocked by the suction; she clenched her teeth, her feet deeply embedded in the snow, pouring all her strength into resisting.
"Ye Qingchen, be careful!" Xue Zhao shouted, her voice weak and tense amidst the vortex’s rumble.
Ye Qingchen quickly mobilized the wood element energy within him, forming a green energy shield with his hands in front of him. His shield appeared shaky under the vortex’s suction, but he refused to give up, firmly sustaining it.
The vines on the shield danced continuously, trying to resist the powerful suction, but the white vortex’s force was too strong, and the vines gradually tore apart, turning into specks of green light dissipating into the air.
