There was no miracle!
The Fire Spirit Rock quickly scorched a small hole in the stone ceiling—which was several meters deep, but it didn’t open up a passage. The two of them looked at the pitch-black hole while their eyes dimmed.
They were ultimately going to be stuck here!
Buzz!
Just as their hearts sank, the entire palace hall suddenly lit up, which frightened them so much that their bodies were shaking. Could there be a counterattack after Jiang Yi scorched the restriction?
“Ah? We are done for!”
Two rays of white light enveloped Jiang Yi and He Lao. They realized that their bodies couldn’t move anymore, instantly alarming them. Jiang Yi tried to instant shift immediately, but before he could do it, his body had vanished.
“Uh…”
They felt the white light flash, and their visions were restored. They scanned the surroundings while their eyes were filled with shock… which quickly turned into ecstasy.
The two of them were actually teleported to an unfamiliar place, into an ice plain. With a single glance, one could see the heavy snowfall and the white mountain range.
“We actually escaped? We are out of the maze!”
They thought they fell into hell but realized this hell was actually a paradise, and it was imaginable what they were feeling. Jiang Yi reached out his hand and caught a falling snowflake and watched as the snowflake melted into water. His body might feel cold, but his heart was as hot as the blazing sun.
“Hu-Hu!”
The two of them looked at each other and let out a long breath at the same time, which turned into a white mist. They then quickly ran ecstatically in the ice plain with their fastest speed, releasing all the pent-up pressure.
“He Lao, what is going on? Why are we teleported out?”
After running for a period of time, Jiang Yi then asked with a bewildered expression. He Lao shook his head and was unsure as well. He replied, “It might be possible that after you destroyed the restriction, it would automatically be triggered to teleport us out. After all, if one is able to break the restriction, it meant that the expert has powerful strength and could easily destroy the maze.”
“It is possible!”
Jiang Yi nodded and felt a little pity. He had wasted too many Fire Spirit Rocks in the past, and there was only one piece left. At this moment, he just realized how precious this Fire Spirit Rock was.
“Let’s depart!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and ran forward. He even tried instant shifting once and releasing his Massacre Intent. Once he made sure there wasn’t any restriction in this space, he was pleased. He had this feeling that if they were able to find the exit, they would be able to reach the fifth floor; and they would be able to walk out of this Witch God’s forbidden ground.
“En, let’s go.”
He Lao quickly caught up. These ice plains might be excessively cold, but it was still better than that maze.
Bang!
As the two of them sprinted to a nearby mountain peak, it suddenly erupted. There was an enormous beast that appeared in front of them while a powerful beast aura enveloped the two of them. That strange beast was covered in white scales and had a head of a hippopotamus and the body of a lion. There were spikes on the head and on the joints of the limbs. It was more than 15 meters in height and 3 meters in length. When Jiang Yi and He Lao stood in front of this beast, they looked just like two tiny ants.
“Could, could this be a tier-four demon king?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes shrank as he exclaimed and burst in retreat. This strange beast’s size was comparable to a demon king, and demon kings were something that he had no way to go against.
“It’s not a demon king; it’s a mutated beast!”
He Lao advanced instead of retreating. Both his legs shot off from the ground as he brandished his heaven artifact. Countless essence force attacks were poured out, and he explained as he attacked: “Young Master Yi, the Wide Chill Ice Plains is located in the north of the Northern Mang Kingdom and the Northern Liang Kingdom. There are plenty of mutated beasts under the ice plains, and they are all massive—but their strength is comparatively weaker than demonic beasts. They do not have demonic arts, and you can kill them without any worry! Apart from having strong defenses, this mutated beast should have inferior attack power.”
“That’s good!”
Jiang Yi let out a breath of relief. If this was a tier-four demon king, then they didn’t have to resist and immediately perish. Demon kings had ferocious strength and were comparable to Vajra Realm martial experts.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
True enough—!
He Lao’s attack unceasingly landed on the mutated beast, causing the beast’s body to tremble, while there were explosions of blood mist. Once He Lao stopped his attack, the surface of the beast’s body was in a bloodied mess, but there wasn’t any bone that was visible. Its defenses were so powerful that one would gasp at it.
Roar!
The mutated beast roared out towards the sky and spat out white mist from the giant mouth. Its body shifted like a small mountain while it rushed at He Lao. It had lightning speed and took just a blink of the eye before it was about to crash into He Lao.
“Hmph! You are a beast which is only the first stage of Soul Travel Realm at best, right? You dare to view this old man as an enemy?”
He Lao sneered and stomped on the mutated beast’s horn, launching himself upward. His body turned back in mid-air while the heaven artifact lit up with white light. He burst out with a yell at the same time, “Young Master Yi, attack it. We will slowly torment it to death. Just don’t let the chilling breath hit you.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi yelled out while he rushed at the mutated beast and abruptly cleaved with the Fire Dragon Sword. Tens of thousands of small fire dragons were shot out and constantly blasted at the thick hind legs of the mutated beast.
Pong! Pong! Pong! Pong!
As the fire dragons crashed onto the hind legs, they would blast open the scales; and the rest of the fire dragons would continue to flock over, exploding the flesh and splattering it all over. There was this dense stench of blood diffusing in the air.
Roar!
The mutated beast felt the pain in the hind legs and suddenly turned around. Its pair of large icy cold eyes locked onto Jiang Yi while its body suddenly leaped up, and one of the giant hooves suddenly stomped at Jiang Yi.
“F*ck…”
Looking at the sky above his head suddenly turning dark, Jiang Yi cursed silently and immediately instant shifted away, appearing 3 kilometers away.
Boom!
When the mutated beast’s hoof stomped on the ground, the nearby surface of the ground shook. When Jiang Yi saw that half the limb had sunk into the ground, he felt apprehensive. If he had been stomped by that hoof, he would surely turn into a pile of minced meat.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
On the other side, He Lao’s attack had also landed, blasting open the flesh on the back of the mutated beast. This mutated beast was far inferior to a demon king; at least, its spirit wisdom was very low. It got immediately distracted by He Lao and didn’t bother about Jiang Yi anymore. Its body crouched down and leaped towards He Lao with rage.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
Fortunately, there were two of them who could constantly shift the mutated beast’s attention effortlessly. The two of them coordinated their attacks with mutual understanding. As the mutated beast was chasing one of them, the other would immediately attack, making this mutated beast ran around in circles. As they continued to attack, the mutated beast had more places with injuries and splattered fresh blood all over the ground, dying the ice plain in red.
Boom!
Jiang Yi’s attacks were very tactful as he kept on attacking the hind legs of the mutated beast. After releasing three attacks, this mutated beast’s hind leg bones were finally smashed; and its enormous body collapsed like a small mountain, causing tremors.
“Hu-Hu!”
Jiang Yi and He Lao let out a breath at the same time. The mutated beast was immobilized and was a sitting duck, waiting for them to kill it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Right at this moment, more than a dozen of the nearby mountain peaks erupted at the same time. Countless ice blocks shot out in the mix of soil and rocks. Over a dozen horrific aura presences were present in the air, and over a dozen giant beasts revealed their sinister faces while glaring at Jiang Yi and He Lao.
From a distant mountain peak, a figure shot up and looked over here from far away. He shouted out, “Jiang Yi, there are 999 mutated beasts on this ice plains. If you are able to kill all of them, you will have the opportunity to enter the top floor. But can you? Hahahaha!”
“Yun Lu?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with chilling light as he burst out with a yell, “Damn it! He Lao, you hold on. I will go slaughter that brat.”
