Protect Our Clan Leader

“Well…” Wang Zongsheng chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself, Fourth Uncle was indeed impressive, but the most terrifying person in the family was the Fourth Aunt.

But this was obviously something he couldn’t share openly.

Just as the new disciples of the Mysterious Ice Palace were worrying for Ji Mingyu.

Some of the core disciples, Fang Youan, and Master Binglan were all calm and composed.

Believing that they could deal with Ji Mingyu so easily, they were seriously underestimating him.

As expected.

After a struggle with the Vine Array, irritation crept into Ji Mingyu’s eyes, “Junior Brother Shouzhe, what a skilled man you are. From the look of it, I probably can’t get the better of you without taking this seriously.”

Having said this!

Ji Mingyu’s face hardened, and the Ice Crystal Sword in his hand circled around him, cutting the vines within a meter’s radius into two.

Simultaneously.

He moved his dangling sword upward slowly, an oppressive mysterious ice energy spreading from him, charging straight up into the sky.

The thick layer of accumulated snow clouds above the Mysterious Ice Palace began to rotate slowly, drawn by this pervasive aura.

Immediately, large flakes of snow and ice fell upon the stage like a furious storm.

In just the space of a breath.

A large area of the arena was covered in ice and snow; a vast expanse of white was expanding.

How could this be possible?

Even with Wang Shouzhe’s shrewdness and resourcefulness, he couldn’t conceal the change in his complexion.

Impossible!

Ji Mingyu hasn’t even reached the mid-level of the Spirit Platform Realm yet, and he could provoke the heavens and earth, causing changes in the environment. Although the affected area was small, it was still beyond comprehension.

Because even those in the Heavenly Human Realm would need the right time, place, and people, and would have to make use of various external methods to manipulate some of the Laws of Heavenly Dao.

What virtues and abilities does Ji Mingyu possess to have reached this stage?

Under such rapid freezing conditions.

Even Wang Shouzhe felt a chill spreading throughout his body with all the moisture in the air freezing into frost.

His vine plants that were evolving time and again.

Even though Wang Shouzhe had taken measures for elements like heat resistance and cold resistance, the energy and matter contained in these seeds of vines were enough for them to grow once without absorbing nutrients from the earth.

Yet these vine seeds were still not at the level of Spirit Seeds and on facing such harsh cold, they froze in an instant into green icicles.

“Crack, crack”

They shatter into pieces all over the ground.

They were so dead that injecting Mysterious Energy into them was pointless.

What’s more important is.

The blizzard within the arena was still intensifying.

Even with his Ancient Tree Armor on, Wang Shouzhe felt rigid all over, slowing his actions by two or three beats.

A contest between experts often ends in a split second. How can one fight with a delay as such?

“Junior Brother Shouzhe, let me teach you a lesson,” Ji Mingyu said coldly. “Exploring different valleys and gaining experience isn’t easy because you have to endure their home-field advantage. Similarly, we have our home-field advantage in the Mysterious Ice Palace, which isn’t easy to overcome. To show my respect for you, I’ll use this one evoking sword from the Profound Soldier Heaven’s Way to mark your defeat.”

An intense cold aura was thickening around Ji Mingyu; his formidable presence was rising bit by bit.

This terrifying icy sword may not be easy to resist even in the mid-level of the Spirit Platform Realm, right?

Master Binglan in the sky gave a subtle nod. Ji Mingyu was not only talented but also very hardworking.

Even with the home-field advantage, it isn’t easy to reach his current state.

He is worth considering for direct discipleship.

She cast a mocking glance at Master Changchun in the process, “Changchun, you can save your Longevity Fruit. I’ll ask for it later. Don’t blame me for not going easy on you if you dare cheat me.”

Master Changchun was also filled with frustration. Oh Shouzhe, you promised you had a trump card to fight for your life, didn’t you?

Now, you are about to be defeated, and your trump card hasn’t even come into play yet.

“Changchun…” As Master Binglan was about to speak, her expression abruptly changed, she uttered a sound of alarm.

On the stage.

The situation had changed once again.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble!”

Firelights burst one after another.

The violent vibration in the air created a storm of snowflakes.

Fire dragons writhed bewitchingly in the sky.

In a blink, the arena was engulfed in ice and fire. Under the heat of the fire dragons, the ice and snow melted into water, creating a steamy fog. The entire arena resembled a giant steamer.

“Those are my Fire Dragon Fruits.” The disciple Li Yuzhe cried out excitedly. “Those are what I painstakingly cultivated over ten years.” His words were full of pride.

Fire Dragon Fruit were not easy to cultivate; they had a long growth cycle and were expensive.

Li Yuzhe held them as his trump card, reluctant to use even one under normal circumstances.

He was defeated by Wang Luo Jing because he was reluctant to use them and his defeat was too swift.

Later, when he heard that Wang Shouzhe was planning to lead everyone to the Mysterious Ice Palace, Li Yuzhe impulsively handed over the Fire Dragon Fruit to him as a backup for self-defense.

Indeed, it turned out to be useful.

Although Li Yuzhe was satisfied, his heart was aching.

“Senior Brother Shouzhe, couldn’t you be a little more conservative in your usage? I worked so hard to cultivate the Fire Dragon Fruits, and you were using them all up at once without hesitation or regret.”
