Chapter 25: Mutual Destruction
After a fierce battle, as for Zheng Honglie, putting aside their hostile relationship, Qi Lei still admired him quite a bit.
Needless to say, his swordsmanship has reached the level of being completely absorbed in it. In a close combat between two people, Qi Lei had a tough and resilient body, as well as sharp eagle claws, wings, and beak, which could be said that he was already in an unbeatable position. However, his long sword flew up and down, dancing with precision, leaving no room for Qi Lei to counterattack.
Of course, Zilei only admired his swordsmanship. As for other aspects of this person, they were not worth emulating, especially the excessive violence, abandoning techniques and choosing close combat, which didn't seem like a cultivator at all, but rather a brave but imprudent general.
Actually, Zilei was really wrong.
Zheng Honglie also wanted to use tactics, but unfortunately, apart from his unpredictable swordsmanship, he had no other strengths. If he were to do what Qi Lei thought of doing, that would be using one's weakness to attack the enemy's strength, which is a major taboo in military strategy.
Close combat was his only choice.
"Zheng Honglie's swordsmanship has already reached perfection!"
Although he didn't like it, "Senior Gao" had no choice but to admit it.
"However, with the demonic eagle having the upper hand in terms of terrain and timing, victory is only a matter of time. It seems that this old bones of mine will have to take action."
His mouth was slightly smiling, speaking extremely lightly, but his body suddenly changed, becoming tall and majestic, with a completely different aura. To the onlookers, it seemed as if a towering mountain had suddenly appeared before their eyes, leaving everyone secretly shocked.
"Zheng, step down, and witness my Mystic Ice Technique!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand shook and in an instant, a cluster of white cold air appeared out of thin air in front of him.
As soon as the chill was formed, it pounced on Qi Lei like a wolf, and it could be clearly felt that as soon as the chill emerged, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply, becoming gloomy and cold. Even Zheng Honglie, who retreated in time, had his hair covered with a thin layer of frost, and his face turned iron-blue from the cold.
Zi Lei Ben wanted to leave Zheng Hong Lie behind, he had deeply felt the power of being soft-hearted and lenient, which would lead to endless troubles. This time he couldn't hold back, but just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Actually, Qi Lei had always been very curious about the spells of the Cultivators. In those years when he followed Yan Dao, Yan Dao also showed him some, but most were just dazzling techniques, and upon careful thought, there was nothing extraordinary about them. However, this wasn't the time to think about these things. He saw Qi Lei stretch out his eagle claw, making a slash in front of him, and in an instant, demonic energy spewed out from his claw, quickly forming a pure white eagle claw under his control, striking against the cold air above his head.
"Rumble!"
The eagle's claw collided with the cold air, producing a majestic sound. The terrifying cold energy hidden in the cold air was forced out by the eagle's impact, and it violently rolled up like a fish struggling in its last moments in the sea.
The effect was evident, and under the influence of Han Li's power, the eagle claw formed by Qi Lei's demonic energy was actually frozen in place by a mysterious ice. A thin layer of dark ice had formed on its surface, which was both strange and beautiful, revealing an unusual beauty.
Of course, the gorgeous beauty is always short-lived. Zire's eyes narrowed, and a long whistle came from his mouth. The eagle claws formed by the demon power suddenly exploded, and the splashing cold power was like countless arrow branches, shooting in all directions. All living things that were affected by the impact quickly turned into ice cubes.
"Hmph, you really have some skills, but unfortunately, it's still not enough!"
"Senior Gao" let out a cold snort, his hand shook again, and another burst of cold air was produced. This time he had learned from his previous mistake, and as the first blast of cold air shot towards Qi Lei, he immediately released a third blast of cold air to follow closely behind it.
Even if "High Master" had ample spiritual energy, releasing three blasts of cold air in succession, his complexion still changed, turning pale in an instant, but the majestic aura like a mountain became even more intense, and it even materialized into something tangible, causing Cai Die and Lu Yi Chen to involuntarily retreat repeatedly, revealing shocked and admiring expressions.
With such a great price paid, the effect is also amazing.
Two cold airs, no more than one zhang apart, and considering their speed was like a thunderbolt, it can be said that they struck at the same time.
Zi Lei first clashed with Zheng Honglie, having already expended a considerable amount of demonic energy. Facing two cold auras at the same time, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. However, at this critical moment, he didn't have time to think twice. The two eagle claws almost simultaneously lifted off the ground, and the two claw-like constructs born from his demonic energy met them head-on without hesitation.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two loud noises came, and Han Li's chill was once again neutralized. Qi Lei couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
But suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine, a cold feeling that pierced his heart, and he was frozen in an instant, trembling uncontrollably. His entire body was numb, and even his movements were slow. A layer of white frost had formed on his feathers.
"Unfortunately, the demonic power is still not strong enough, and the last two claws are slightly insufficient!"
He suddenly understood the reason, although he resisted most of the cold air, but due to insufficient demon power, some cold air still invaded and caused him great trouble, making him temporarily at a disadvantage.
"Haha, good one Old Gao, you indeed have a trick up your sleeve! I, Zheng Honglie, admit defeat!"
"Gao Shixiong" was about to continue his attack and thoroughly subdue Zilei, but unexpectedly Zheng Honglie suddenly jumped out, laughing loudly, holding a long sword and slashing down fiercely. His hatred for Zilei was like an endless river, how could he let him live in the world, even as a demon servant?
"Look out, Zheng Honglie!"
"Older Brother Gao" was shocked and turned pale, his already pale face became even more bloodless, and he couldn't help but let out a loud roar.
But it was too late, Zheng Honglie's sword flashed with a cold light, as if it could reflect the shadows of all things, turning into a ray of light, like a flash of lightning in the sky, slashing towards Qi Lei.
"Slap slap ---"
The expected blood and flesh splattering did not appear, instead a faint sound came, as if something had cracked.
"Huh? Lao Gao's Xuan Bing is so hard?"
Zheng Honglie found it strange and couldn't help but secretly sigh at the power of the technique. Before he could raise his sword to chop again, a loud "Boom" sound was heard, and the white demon eagle in front of him suddenly exploded, turning into shards of ice that shot out in all directions, with many of them piercing into his body without mercy.
"Ah!"
He let out a miserable cry, but didn't move at all. The icy cold air had frozen him in an instant, turning him into an ice sculpture.
Zi Lei let out a long breath, his body still feeling cold all over, but it was no longer as severe as before, if not for Zheng Honglie's sword that broke through the invasion of the Xuanbing Hanli from the outside, he would have really been captured and become a demon slave.
Mystic Ice Technique, it's indeed an extraordinary skill!
Even if he managed to escape unexpectedly, he was already at his last gasp. If not for the enemy still lurking in front of him, he wouldn't have had to force himself to take a deep breath, and even then, he had already fallen to the ground, unable to get back up.
But now he has another task.
Kill Zheng Honglie!
Once you've made your move, you can't show mercy. If you're going to strike, you must kill, annihilate completely. Otherwise, the wind of spring will bring new life, and it will be like today, bringing even greater crisis!
If you don't make a move, then so be it. But if you do, you must send your opponent to a place from which they will never return!
"Hiss!"
He let out a loud roar, his wings stirring up a whirlwind, like a sharp arrow, swooping down from the sky and pouncing on Zheng Honglie.
"You beast, how dare you?"
Lao Gao and Zheng Honglie may not get along, but after all, they are from the same sect and clan. They can't just stand by and do nothing when someone is in trouble. Moreover, for the Beast Taming Sect, the death of a Qi Refining cultivator, even if it's a young master from a large family, isn't a big deal. However, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to die, it wouldn't be so easy to brush off. If things go wrong, everyone present would suffer an unjust disaster.
Before his words had fallen, Lao Gao's hand suddenly shook and the fourth strand of cold air shot out towards Qi Lei. At the same time, his pale face suddenly turned bright red, extremely abnormal. Then he couldn't hold it in anymore and with a "pu" sound, spat out a big mouthful of fresh blood.
Zi Lei suffered a loss from Xuan Bing's technique, so he didn't dare to collide head-on. His wings fluttered rapidly, and his body quickly rose up, narrowly avoiding the attack. The cold air also failed to pursue due to Lao Gao's insufficient control, instead falling back onto Zheng Honglie's body once again.
Poor Zheng Honglie, this time he really became an ice sculpture!
"Unexpectedly, we're leaving!"
Lao Gao strongly endured the surge of spiritual energy, hastily moving forward, and with one swift motion, he lifted up Zheng Honglie who was standing upright, then turned around to leave.
"Hold on, the demon eagle is already at its last gasp, with a bit more effort, it can be subdued!"
Against everyone's expectations, Cai Xia suddenly became tough and didn't leave. Instead, she took big strides forward, revealing a smile that seemed to say "I've got this" as she looked at Qi Lei. When looking at Lu Yichen and Da Hu Zi, she also had an air of confidence, clearly indicating they had some hidden tricks up their sleeves.
"Monster Eagle, you are destined to be my monster servant, look at the beast taming circle!"
Then, Cai Xia's hand rose, and a ring flew out from her wrist, emitting a dazzling light that made people's eyes unable to open. The sky was covered with a canopy of light rushing towards Qi Lei.
At the same time, Zile felt a powerful and solemn pressure that made all creatures surrender, emanating from the ring. This pressure was filled with righteous energy and pierced deep into his soul, reminiscent of the "Soul-Binding Secret Art" once performed by Yan Dao.
"This is bad, it's a specialized magical tool for dealing with demonic beasts!"
He was shocked and pale, wanting to fly away, but suddenly felt extremely tired, with no strength left in his body, not even enough to open his eyelids. This feeling was like wave after wave of ocean waves, not earth-shattering, but continuous and endless.
"More powerful than the Forbidden Soul Technique!"
He was so frightened that his eyes were wide with terror and his soul flew out of his body.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. The strange little flower in his sea of consciousness suddenly shook, as if blown by the wind. Although it was not very intense, it brought a refreshing feeling that made him unable to help but feel a spiritual shock, and in an instant, he broke free from his exhaustion and near-death state.
As he watched, the taming ring was already close to his eyes, about to be put around his neck. He secretly sneered and suddenly stretched out his eagle claws, firmly grasping the taming ring.
