Chapter 210: Ten Thousand Miles Of Ice Formation! Rise!
Ming Zhaoshuang waved her hand, once again throwing out four or five Defense Talismans.
Thunder broke through, striking Ming Zhaoshuang’s slender body. She coughed up a mouthful of blood, which sprinkled onto the talisman formation.
She didn’t hesitate and continued drawing.
Only a dozen strokes left.
Ten, nine, eight…
As the eighth heavenly thunder descended, Ming Zhaoshuang didn’t even raise her head. She threw out the Defense Talisman from Zhen Hanliu in her hand, calmly withstanding that strike of thunder.
She flicked her long sleeves, and the Mountain River Brush in her hand drew a straight line.
One!
The last stroke, the formation was complete.
The moment the Mountain River Brush paused, Ming Zhaoshuang took out two talismans and fiercely slapped them towards the formation core!
She finally raised her exceptionally calm eyes.
Frost erupted. The luminous pearl by Ming Zhaoshuang’s ear glowed. The dark blue tassel reflected her bright and cold face.
“Ten Thousand Miles Ice Seal Formation! Activate!”
Instantly, the hundred miles of blazing fire were extinguished. Ten thousand feet of cold light surged from the ground. The bone-chilling cold spread, following the formation patterns and continuously extending towards the front until it enveloped the entire Jingyan Ridge.
At the same time, the sky seemed to be sealed in ice as well.
A hundred miles of snow fell, and the flames withered.
The talismans Ming Zhaoshuang used were precisely the Ice Seal Talismans left to her by Zhen Hanliu.
Indeed, while she had a theoretical understanding of the Talisman Arts Path, her soul power and spiritual power were insufficient. No matter how she drew the formation, it would be impossible to harm the Huan Bird. In its presence, she was simply too insignificant.
So insignificant that without Xie Yanning, without Yan Ao, without the System, she could have been easily killed by it.
But even though she was insignificant, she could still borrow power.
She borrowed Xie Yanning and the others to protect herself, and she borrowed Zhen Hanliu’s talismans to compensate for her lack of soul power and spiritual power in her formations.
Early on, when she saw the seal in her mind, the runes in the Setting Sun Mountain Range Talisman Formation Book, and the formations in the Great Sui Secret Realm, she had been thinking why these three could be adapted while other talismans and formations could not.
She had made many attempts, succeeding and failing, gradually mastering some principles.
And when she learned that the Huan Bird was not afraid of wind and fire, nor thunder, she understood that she only had the Ice Seal Talisman left.
The Huan Bird was too powerful, so powerful that she was almost helpless.
But she was unwilling to give up.
So what if she only had the Ice Seal Talisman left? But it was also her father, Zhen Hanliu’s, Ice Seal Talisman!
Zhen Hanliu was born with an Ice Spirit Root and grew up in Cangshan. The spiritual power contained within this Ice Seal Talisman was self-evident, and it was undoubtedly more powerful than the talismans she possessed.
However, the Ice Seal Talisman had its limitations. It was not an attack talisman, but a binding talisman.
Much like the Golden Silk Talisman, it could only ice seal the Huan Bird, but not cause it any harm. Even if Zhen Hanliu were at Tribulation Crossing, its effect would only be this.
But what kind of place was Jingyan Ridge? Three hundred miles were all flames, and nine thousand feet were all thunder. The Ice Seal Talisman could at most control the Huan Bird for a quarter of an hour, which was not enough to change the tide of battle.
Therefore, Ming Zhaoshuang did not choose to directly use the Ice Seal Talisman. Instead, she chose to draw a “Ten Thousand Miles Ice Seal Formation Plus” and modified this formation so that it could connect with Zhen Hanliu’s talisman, borrowing its powerful soul power and spiritual power to ice seal the entire battlefield.
Achieving the transformation of talisman into formation, a Ten Thousand Miles Ice Seal!
Of course, it was only an instant ice seal—
After all, fire counters ice.
Just as Qin Feilong said, in a place like Jingyan Ridge, drawing a Ten Thousand Miles Ice Seal Formation was simply absurd. It wouldn’t borrow any power of frost, and even if it did, it couldn’t contend with the blazing fire of Jingyan Ridge.
Even though Zhen Hanliu’s spiritual power was formidable, in a place like Jingyan Ridge, full of flames, it would ultimately have little opportunity to be displayed. Not to mention that Ming Zhaoshuang had transformed it into a formation, making the frost power even more diluted. Upon encountering flames, it would instantly melt, turning into countless streams of flowing water.
But was that truly the case?
Don’t forget, water counters fire.
This was a principle Ming Zhaoshuang had understood since she first came to this world and fought with Ling Yangping. What did it matter if fire countered ice? Water countering fire was enough.
In that sense, ice also countered fire!
These streams of water covered the blazing fires of Jingyan Ridge, caressing them one by one, extinguishing them one by one, and transforming them into clear springs adorned with layers of ice scabs.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s formation was set at the highest point of Jingyan Ridge. The immensely vast frost power transformed into countless streams of water, submerging the numerous flames on Jingyan Ridge. The water flowed downwards until every inch of blazing fire in the three hundred miles of Jingyan Ridge was extinguished by crystalline water droplets.
Snow continued to fall, flowing over the entire Jingyan Ridge.
The streams of water wandering on the mountainside gradually disappeared, and the flames on the mountain became increasingly smaller.
Until,
Jingyan Ridge, from then on, no longer existed.
It was completely turned into a mountain of ashes and cold earth by Ming Zhaoshuang with just one formation.
She was insignificant, but even ants can shake the heavens, and even ants can change mountains and rivers.
Ming Zhaoshuang looked back and finally saw the only remaining flame in this mountain range of flying ashes.
Xie Yanning.
She had an Innate Fire Spiritual Root, so even water would fear her.
Her crimson skirt hem was like a burning flame. At this moment, she supported herself with her sword, looking at Ming Zhaoshuang, her eyes seeming to contain a bonfire, burning fiercely.
They exchanged a smile.
Indeed, Xie Yanning could borrow the geographical advantage of Jingyan Ridge, and she could even adapt better than the Huan Bird. However, at this moment, her body was depleted and her spiritual power was exhausted, making it impossible for her to fight again.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s extinguishing of Jingyan Ridge’s flames was an absolute win-win situation for them, and could even be said to be decisive for their success.
After all, for the Huan Bird, such a loss was irreversible.
Rumble—
The thunder shook, like raging waves.
Seeing this, the Huan Bird let out a screech. Without the reinforcement of Jingyan Ridge’s blazing fire, the flames on its body dimmed significantly. The Great Wind beside it began to struggle and tear at it, and the agitated demonic power within seemed capable of shattering the entire Jingyan Ridge.
The Great Wind was a Divine Beast, and the most valiant Divine Beast at that.
The Huan Bird had already been severely injured by Xie Yanning’s Zhurong Fire Control Technique earlier. It also had to divert its attention to fight Ming Zhaoshuang and the others. Although it was two realms higher than the Great Wind, it could only gain a slight advantage.
Xie Yanning whispered, “It seems your Qiongqi will probably not need to make an appearance.”
After all, without the flames, the Huan Bird might not show a clear defeat in a short time, but after a few hours, it would inevitably weaken. The Great Wind, however, was different.
The Great Wind grew up in a harsh environment and had a violent temper. It could be said to have a “berserk” buff at all times.
With this ongoing situation, with one waxing and the other waning, the Huan Bird might not be able to defeat the Great Wind.
It was even possible that it would be defeated by the Great Wind.
Ming Zhaoshuang heard this and seemed to recall something, saying:
“Bloodlines like the Great Wind and Chiwen are definitely not ordinary beings.”
These two young men before their eyes held extremely important positions in the Demon Race.
Xie Yanning frowned, “I have never heard any news about the Great Wind. As for the Chiwen, it seems to be one of the Five Great Noble Families in the Demon Realm. But Yan Ao’s status is definitely not lower than Chiwen’s. The Monster Cores he just gave me were all Heavenly Grade Mid-Rank. Even the most elite noble families wouldn’t be so extravagantly wealthy.”
The royal family of the Demon Realm was the Black Bird, followed by the five great noble families: Chiwen, Great Peng, Lu Wu, Xiang Liu, and Kui.
Among the Six Heavens occupied by the Demon Realm, the royal family alone controlled the Great Heaven, while the other five great noble families each controlled one Heaven. Wen Ye was part of one of the five great noble families, and Yan Ao was on good terms with him. With his powerful bloodline, he likely wasn’t far behind.
Thus, they had managed to stir up trouble.
