Chapter 2468: General Class Shadow Demon (1)
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and decided to put the question aside. He would visit the Divine Light Kingdom after the Golden Qilin Kingdom. Perhaps Cai Xieren and Xia Nongyue knew the answer.
Just as Yun Lintian wanted to ask further, Lou Yi suddenly walked over and bowed
respectfully. "Master, we have spotted a group of Shadow Demons outside. There's one general among them."
Lan Bingxue narrowed her eyes slightly. "Evacuate the people from the outer ring and send Jin Xiao. I will be there in a moment."
"Understood," Lou Yi responded readily and left.
"It seems we have to pause our banquet here," Lan Bingxue said gently.
"Let's go together," Yun Lintian spoke up. "I want to see a General Class Shadow Demon." "Oh?" Lan Bingxue looked deeply at him. "Let's go."
Lan Bingxue led the way, her figure a blur as she traversed the palace corridors, her icy aura intensifying with every step. Yun Lintian, Lan Hanyu, and Long Bing followed closely behind. As they arrived at the edge of the realm, they immediately drawn to the commotion in the distance. A horde of Shadow Demons, their forms writhing and contorting, their eyes burning with a malevolent red light, were laying siege to the outer ring of the Ice Phoenix Kingdom. The defenders, led by a stern-faced woman with flowing silver hair, fought valiantly, their ice-infused attacks pushing back the demonic horde. This was Jin Xiao, the first elder of the Ice Phoenix Sect, her power and authority second only to Lou Yi.
But despite their valiant efforts, the defenders were outnumbered, their defenses slowly crumbling under the relentless assault of the Shadow Demons. The air was thick with the stench of death and decay, the ground stained with the blood of fallen cultivators.
Lan Bingxue's eyes narrowed. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a torrent of icy energy, a blizzard of freezing power that swept through the battlefield, pushing back the Shadow Demons, creating a momentary respite for the beleaguered defenders.
Jin Xiao, momentarily relieved by the Empress's intervention, seized the opportunity to rally her forces. "Do not falter!" she commanded, her voice ringing with authority. "The Empress is with us! Fight with courage, and we shall prevail!
The defenders, their spirits lifted by Lan Bingxue's arrival, renewed their assault, their attacks infused with a newfound ferocity. Ice shards rained down upon the Shadow Demons, freezing their limbs, shattering their forms, and pushing them back from the crumbling defenses.
Yun Lintian, Lan Hanyu, and Long Bing observed the battle with keen interest, their eyes analyzing the movements of the Shadow Demons, assessing their strengths and weaknesses. They remained on the sidelines, allowing Lan Bingxue and the Ice Phoenix cultivators to handle the situation, eager to witness the extent of their power and tactics.
But as the battle raged, a palpable shift in the atmosphere occurred. A terrifying aura descended upon the battlefield, casting a shadow of dread over the hearts of the defenders. A colossal figure emerged from the depths of the demonic horde, its form towering over the battlefield, its eyes burning with a malevolent red light that seemed to pierce the very soul.
It was a General Class Shadow Demon, its power far surpassing that of its lesser brethren, its aura radiating an oppressive darkness that threatened to consume all light and hope.
The defenders faltered, their attacks weakening, their spirits wavering in the face of this formidable foe. Even Jin Xiao, with her immense power and experience, felt a tremor of fear course through her veins.
Lan Bingxue's expression hardened, her eyes narrowing with determination. "I will handle this," she declared, her voice ringing with authority.
She stepped forward, her figure radiating an icy aura that challenged the oppressive darkness of the General Class Shadow Demon. She raised her hand, summoning a colossal ice sword, its blade gleaming with a chilling light that seemed to drain the warmth from the very air.
"You dare trespass upon my domain, creature of chaos?" she challenged, her voice echoing through the battlefield.
The General Class Shadow Demon, a hulking figure with jagged horns and glowing red eyes, let out a guttural laugh that sent shivers down the spines of the defenders. "Lan Bingxue," he boomed, his voice resonating with a chilling power, "your life ends today."
Lan Bingxue's eyes narrowed. "It seems you come here on someone's command."
"My name is Shun," the General Class Shadow Demon sneered, "and I am here to reclaim what is rightfully ours."
He lunged towards Lan Bingxue, his massive claws tearing through the air, leaving trails of dark energy in their wake.
Lan Bingxue had no time to think of anything. She met his attack head-on, her ice sword clashing against the demon's claws, the impact sending shockwaves through the air, the ground trembling beneath their feet.
The battle between the Ice Phoenix Empress and the General Class Shadow Demon was a clash of titans, a spectacle of raw power that shook the very foundations of the Ice Phoenix Kingdom. Ice and darkness collided, creating explosions of frost and shadow that illuminated the battlefield with an eerie glow.
"So, this is a General Class Shadow Demon?" Yun Lintian muttered to himself. Just from its aura, he could tell that the Shadow Demon named Shun was as strong as Lan Bingxue. It was no wonder everyone in the Primal Chaos couldn't resist them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"It's because of the environment," Lan Hanyu said with a frown. "This chaotic environment boosts their power. They are much stronger than the ones I faced back then."
Yun Lintian nodded slowly. He seemed to have thought of something. The environment of the Ancient Battlefield was similar to this place... Could it be that Fan Shen was preparing for this? Lan Bingxue, her eyes blazing with icy fire, moved with a speed that belied her graceful form. She weaved through Shun's attacks, her ice sword flashing like lightning, leaving trails of frost in its wake.
"Ice Phoenix Divine Art: Frozen Heavens!" she declared, her voice ringing with power.
The temperature plummeted drastically as a wave of icy energy surged outwards, freezing the very air, encasing the battlefield in a layer of frost. Ice crystals, sharp as daggers, materialized in the air, swirling around Lan Bingxue like a blizzard of deadly weapons.
With a flick of her wrist, she sent the ice crystals hurtling towards Shun, their sharp edges aimed at his vital points.
"Hmph! Cheap tricks." Shun snorted coldly, his shadowy form flickering as he evaded the onslaught...
