Chapter 25 Courage Crystal, Flame Strike!
The Icefang Seal's deadly ice spikes struck the ice sculptures, producing a piercing scraping sound, but only leaving a shallow scratch on the surface of the ice.
Then it was bounced off and shattered into several pieces, scattered on the snow.
Needless to say, the arrows shot by the soldiers of Beiming Snow Manor didn't even make a sound when they hit the ice sculpture.
The Snow Bear's blizzard breath only left a new layer of frost on the surface of the ice, unable to increase the original thickness, let alone cause any harm to anyone.
The tree trunk thrown by the bear-man general pierced the air and shot towards the giant dragon with a whooshing sound.
Wu Yi did not freeze the giant dragon, because there was no need.
The giant dragon raised its head and slapped its tail at the tree trunk that was flying through the air.
Boom!
With a dull, loud thud, the tree trunk was smashed to pieces, turning into countless fragments of wood.
The Sled General, driving his heavily armed sled chariot, hurtled straight towards the village amidst the frenzied charge of four six-legged sled dogs, like a runaway chariot.
But at some point, an ice wall appeared in the path that the sled general was taking.
This is formed from the condensation of several icy rays that have broken apart from the ice.
The sled general, with its speed pushed to the limit, has an amazing destructive power due to its strong inertia, but it also has a major problem: it cannot turn and can only travel in a straight line.
Even if the sled is pulled by four magical beasts, it won't work.
"Run it over!"
General Sled initially didn't take the mere ice layer seriously, believing that his chariot, now speeding along, was more than capable of crushing everything.
Even if there were a city wall in front of him, he was confident that he could crush it.
But General Sled never imagined that a thin ice wall would be harder than a city wall!
The high-speed sled crashed into the ice wall, creating a crack, but the entire sled also broke apart due to the impact, shattering into pieces on the ground.
The four sled dogs were thrown out, their eyes filled with stars, and the fat sled dog was reduced to rolling on the snow like a gourd.
General Ice Cream's creamy ice cones landed in the village, covering the ice surface.
The viscous syrup slowly flows down the ice, but it doesn't touch the people inside. It just adds a comical white coating to the ice sculpture, like it's covered in sugar.
The same applies to the attacks of the greedy snowman.
Its special snowballs are so powerful that they can even smash the outer shell of an ice sculpture.
The magic light from the dark penguins' mirrors, when reflected onto the ice, is refracted by the smooth ice layer and scattered in all directions. Some beams even reflect back, making the dark penguins themselves dizzy.
Hundreds of civilians were all protected within the ice.
No one was injured, and no one bled!
This is Wu Yi's tactic!
It was only thanks to his soul contract with the Celestial Crystal Beast and his strong enough control over the Celestial Crystal Sword that he was able to use the icy power of the Celestial Crystal of Justice in this way.
Anyone with even a slight lack of control over the power of ice cannot use this move.
The difficulty of this move lies not only in blocking the attack, but also in protecting the civilians inside the ice layer and ensuring that the power of the ice does not corrode or harm them.
This is an extremely difficult scale to control.
But Wu Yi did it.
So the result was gratifying.
"What?!"
The bear-man general on the snow slope stared wide-eyed, his eyeballs almost bulging out.
The giant dragon's tail shattered the tree trunk he had thrown with all his might, which had already shocked him, but it was nothing compared to Wu Yi's move.
As a general under Jue Tianji, Xiongren General had also fought his way up from the battlefield. He had seen divine weapons and their area-of-effect attacks.
But I've never seen such a precise area attack before!
With a single sword strike, hundreds of beams were unleashed, each accurately hitting its target without missing a single one or causing any collateral damage.
Moreover, each attack needs to form a sufficiently hard ice layer on the target's body surface for defense without harming the target.
What terrifying control this is!
The bear-man general was horrified.
He had thought that this battle, under Jue Tianji's calculations, would be a sure-fire massacre.
But now he felt that it was indeed a sure thing to be a massacre, only that the ones being massacred were not Nangong Yi, but his own group!
Wu Yi was unaware of the bear-man general's thoughts. At this moment, he leaped up again, his figure directly rushing towards the group of enemies on the snow slope.
With the frost protecting the innocent, and no longer having any worries, he could fight with complete abandon.
With a slight thought, Wu Yi noticed that the icy blue light on the Heavenly Crystal Sword had not dissipated, but a crimson pattern quietly appeared in the center of the sword.
The pattern emanated from the crimson gemstone at the hilt, extending along the spine of the sword to the tip, like a lit fuse, leaving a fiery mark on the azure blade.
This is the power of the Flame Courage Celestial Crystal!
Frost and fire, two completely opposite forces, coexist on the same sword at this moment.
This is where the Soul Contract differs from the original work.
Nangong Wentian can only use one form at a time; if he wants to use another form, he has to transform again.
Wu Yi and the Tianjing Beast have a soul contract, making them completely one.
After unlocking the new form, the appearance of the Celestial Crystal Sword only adds the unique crimson patterns of the Flame Celestial Crystal, but its power can be used at will.
Ice and fire do not repel each other. Frost flows on the blade, and flames burn on the spine. The two colors of light reflect each other, dyeing the snow valley in the twilight with a beautiful halo of blue and red.
In this state, the Heavenly Crystal Sword is far more powerful than when using only one of its forms!
Wu Yi raised his hand and swept his sword horizontally.
The crimson patterns on the Heavenly Crystal Sword suddenly lit up, and a fire dragon roared as it detached itself from the sword.
Flame Strike!
The fire dragon was initially only as thick as an arm, but after detaching from the sword, it rapidly expanded and transformed into a crimson fire dragon over ten feet long in the blink of an eye, with clearly visible scales, each burning with blazing white flames.
Golden light danced in the dragon's eyes. Wherever the fire dragon passed, the air was scorched and distorted, and even the falling snowflakes instantly vaporized.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Icefang Seal once again condensed ice spikes.
This time, however, it targeted Wu Yi directly.
The idea was good, but it was meaningless.
The ice spikes that were shot out vanished instantly under the impact of the fire dragon, leaving not even a drop of water behind. They turned into a cloud of white steam and exploded, making a hissing sound.
The Icefang Seal felt the intense heat rushing towards it and let out a terrified roar. The icy blue light on its fangs flashed wildly as it desperately spewed out freezing air in an attempt to block the heat.
Extreme cold and extreme heat collide in mid-air, producing a hissing sound, and white steam rises continuously, enveloping the canyon in a white mist.
The Icefang Seal's freezing aura was quickly overwhelmed by the flames. The fire dragon pierced through the dual barriers of steam and freezing aura, slamming solidly into the Icefang Seal's massive body.
The Icefang Seal let out a mournful cry as its glossy fur was singed by the flames, instantly turning most of it black.
Not only that, the fire dragon formed by the Flame Strike slammed into the chest of the Ice Fang Seal, and the high temperature and huge impact completely overturned the Ice Fang Seal.
If it weren't for its thick skin and tough flesh, this single blow would have brought the Ice Tooth Seal to the brink of death!
