Chapter 427 Ice Emperor
The rat man's body trembled violently, as if he could not withstand some terrifying force.
Its thin body crumbled into pieces before everyone's eyes; its fur, flesh, and bones all turned into fine powder in an instant, scattering in the cold air.
A hazy white shadow slowly rose from the ashes, like smoke and fog, condensing into shape in mid-air.
It was a slender woman. She stretched out her hand and gently grabbed it. The ice crystal crown floated up and landed steadily in her palm.
She put the crown back on her head, and in an instant, a brilliant ice-blue light burst out from her body, and her originally illusory spirit quickly solidified.
——She is resurrected.
The woman on the throne leaned lazily, her skin as pale as snow, almost transparent enough that one could see the pale blue veins beneath the skin.
She was wearing a long ice crystal dress, the hem of which was layered like frozen waves, and every piece of it reflected a cold light.
Her face was extremely beautiful, but it revealed a heart-pounding chill, like solid ice that had not melted for thousands of years.
She casually reached out, picked up the remaining ashes of the rat man with her fingertips, and blew gently.
The ashes drifted into the cold air and disappeared completely.
"What a fragile vessel..." She sighed softly, her voice like an icy spring dripping into a deep pool.
Rat Man!!
Xiao Zi's eyes were bloodshot, and his dragon pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip.
Although the rat man was cunning and greedy, he had followed him for a long time after all. Now he was wiped out in such an unclear way!
The wretched fellow who always liked to call it "Master Zi" with a flattering smile was now left with not even a speck of dust.
"Roar--!"
The furious dragon roar made the ice cave tremble, Xiao Zi's scales exploded all over his body, and thunder and fire gathered madly in his throat.
The woman on the throne raised her eyes slightly, and her narrow, almond-shaped eyes glanced over indifferently.
Snapped.
She clapped her hands casually.
"Chichichichi——!"
Dozens of sharp ice spikes condensed out of thin air and instantly pierced through Xiao Zi's limbs and torso!
Scarlet dragon blood spurted out, creating dazzling blood flowers on the ice surface.
“Xiao Zi!!”
Gu Yang roared, rushed forward, and endured the biting cold to carry the seriously injured Zilong back to Hu Qing.
Xiao Zi was already unconscious, with cold sweat on his pale face. The ice spikes on the wound were still spreading, as if to freeze his blood.
Hu Qing fed him some herbs and pills, which barely stopped the worsening of his injuries.
The two men looked up and stared at the woman on the throne, the anger in their eyes almost turning into substance.
——This is naked deterrence!
The woman covered her lips and chuckled softly, her voice like the sound of broken ice: "Haha... Why is the little guy so fragile? I thought..."
She tilted her head, revealing an innocent yet cruel expression, "She's just playing with me."
Gu Yang's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, and his knuckles turned white, but he did not move in the end.
He knew better than anyone that the existence before them was beyond their ability to contend with.
Hu Qing held his shoulders and shook his head slightly.
He knew better than anyone that anyone who could easily suppress a fifth-order peak dragon beast must be a peerless powerhouse at least above Duan Chen.
If we act rashly at this moment, all three of them will be killed.
The Ice Armor Man was still kneeling on the ground, looking up at his king with fanaticism;
The ice dragon curled up in the corner, not daring to move even its scales.
The entire ice cave seemed to have become a woman's territory, and even the air solidified into oppressive shackles.
"Oh my..." The woman suddenly covered her lips and chuckled, a playful glint in her eyes, "Why is this little dragon so naive?"
Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne, and most of the ice on Xiao Zi's body melted immediately, but the dragon's head was still drooping, and it was obvious that it had fallen into a coma.
Then the woman slowly stood up from the throne, her icy long skirt making crisp clinking sounds as she moved.
She lowered her head and looked at her slender pale arm. With a light stroke of her fingertips, a tiny ice mark appeared and quickly healed.
"So many years have passed..." She murmured softly, with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"It's still this level of power. What a pity."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed her finger at the ice-armored man kneeling on the ground.
"My knight." Her voice suddenly became majestic. "I offer you my loyalty."
The ice-armored man shuddered and slowly raised his head.
His ice-blue eyes were filled with complex emotions——
There is attachment and reluctance, but there is no hesitation.
"As you command...my emperor." His voice was hoarse and gentle, "but..."
"Death..." Fine cracks began to appear on the Ice Armor Man's body. "I don't want to be your knight anymore..."
"boom--"
With a crisp sound, the ice armor man's body shattered.
Countless crystal fragments flew in the air, as if pulled by invisible silk threads, spinning around the woman.
The ice crystal fragments collided and fused with each other, eventually turning into a gorgeous and ferocious ice crystal armor that tightly covered the woman's slender body.
The entire armor is translucent ice blue, with sharp ice spikes extending from the shoulder armor and ancient runes emerging on the breastplate.
The helmet covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of eyes as bright as stars and a faint sneer.
"Roar--!"
The ice dragon let out a low roar, and its huge body involuntarily took a step back.
The dragon's eyes were filled with fear and struggle.
The woman turned to look at the Ice Dragon and opened her red lips slightly: "What about you?"
These two simple words made the Ice Dragon feel like he was struck by lightning.
It suddenly turned around and rushed towards the stone temple gate frantically, its scales made of ice crystals peeling off as it ran.
"No! Ice Emperor! I've protected you for so many years... Even if I haven't done anything great, I've worked so hard... You can't do this to me!"
Gu Yang opened his mouth, but ultimately did not tell it the truth that the door had been locked.
He watched as the ice dragon desperately banged against the closed stone door, each collision causing its scales to shatter even more.
The woman slowly raised her hand, opened her fingers, and then suddenly closed them—
"Pfft!"
The fleeing ice dragon suddenly froze.
It looked down at its chest in disbelief, where a slender jade hand had appeared, holding a still-beating dragon heart.
"I... don't want to..."
The ice dragon's body exploded, turning into countless ice crystal fragments.
These fragments flew towards the woman as if summoned, adding a layer of fine dragon scale patterns to her original armor.
The helmet transformed into a ferocious dragon head, and a crystal-clear dragon-shaped spear slowly took shape in her hand.
The woman gently stroked her new weapon and turned to look at Hu Qing and Gu Yang.
"Now..." Her voice was still cool and pleasant, but with a hint of teasing, "It's your turn."
The tip of the dragon-headed spear lightly touched the ground, making a crisp sound.
