Chapter 85: Three Title Douluo vs. Mysterious Horse-type Spirit Beast
"Hmph, from today on, you two Crowned Ones owe my Gulei Kingdom a favor. Spirit Bone Skill, Mysterious Ice Domain!" Dragged into this mess for no reason, Lan Xue was furious, but now that the die was cast and a powerful enemy was approaching, she had no choice but to fight.
She did not believe that the Spirit Beast would only attack Qian Renxue's group and spare them.
In order to secure a glimmer of survival for her child, she had no choice but to cooperate fully with these two Title Douluo.
The red light traveled from afar to near, finally appearing before everyone. That terrifying pressure made even a Quasi-Soul Douluo like Nan Tianchen nearly unable to move.
Elder Zhang, a Food-type Soul Master, was even pressed down to the ground.
Xu Rong, however, held up his defensive martial soul, the Glory Shield, struggling to protect everyone.
At this moment, the deep blue soul power transformed into mysterious ice, covering that red radiance.
This was the spirit bone skill of Lan Xue's 80,000-year spirit bone, an incredibly rare domain-type soul skill: Mysterious Ice Domain.
It could directly convert soul power into freezing air. Within the domain, all enemies' speed would be reduced, with the degree of reduction depending on the gap in strength between the two sides. Anyone with a level lower than Lan Xue would have their speed reduced by at least sixty percent; those who hadn't even reached the Spirit Saint level and couldn't activate their Spirit Avatar would be unable to move at all.
Even those with a higher level than Lan Xue would have their speed reduced by around thirty percent.
Even if it couldn't compare to an Innate Domain, it was still a very decent control-type domain.
"Let's go, quickly!" Nan Tianchen's pressure suddenly eased. He seized the chance to scoop up Nan Feiling, who was close to him, and ordered Xu Rong, "Xu Rong, take my son, we are retreating from here."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Rong stepped forward, shielding Nan Feihuang with the Glory Shield and calling out, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you go first, I will cover your retreat."
"Father, but Mother..." Nan Feiling was incredibly anxious; it was her first time seeing her father and mother in such a panic.
"That is not a battlefield we can participate in. Only when we leave will your mother have no worries and a glimmer of hope to escape successfully," Nan Tianchen shouted. He was very rational and understood perfectly that if any of them stayed behind, Lan Xue would be unable to escape, and they would all die.
But if they left first, Lan Xue would also be able to find a way to escape, and that way, everyone would have a hope of surviving.
Nan Feihuang understood this logic as well.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Apart from him, no one else seemed to notice that on the outer edge of Lan Xue's domain, there was another red domain that had completely covered this place. It must be the monster's domain. He could feel the horror of that red monster more than anyone else; if it truly intended to kill, they would absolutely not be able to leave, and Lan Xue would not be able to escape either. Everyone had only a dead end.
Moreover, Dian Wei was still absorbing his Spirit Ring, and he could not abandon him. They had been brothers for many years; currently, Dian Wei's status in Nan Feihuang's heart was far more important than the Qian Renxue in his arms.
Finally, there was one most important point: he always felt that this red monster would not harm him, because it gave him a very familiar feeling. Otherwise, why would he be able to perceive a domain that even three Title Douluo had not detected?
Just then, the red light in front suddenly bloomed significantly. In an instant, all the cold air of the Mysterious Ice Domain was melted away.
Following the explosion of soul power, the three Title Douluo were simultaneously sent flying, snapping several large trees in succession until they hit a rock wall, barely stopping their momentum. All three spat out mouthfuls of heart-blood.
Snake Spear Douluo and Citun Douluo were already severely injured, their Spirit Avatars having been shattered twice; now, only Lan Xue could barely stand up.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Weapon Soul Avatar!" Lan Xue activated the avatar of the Mysterious Ice Halberd in her hand. Behind her, a Heavenly Elephant-like manifestation appeared, holding a giant Mysterious Ice Halberd and smashing it violently toward the red light.
"Neigh!" A sound came from within the red light. A powerful soul power backlash easily repelled Lan Xue's Weapon Soul Avatar.
A fireball condensed within the light, growing larger and larger. If it hit Lan Xue directly, she would undoubtedly die.
"This sound, is it a horse's neigh? I know, you are..." Nan Feihuang was startled. He rushed out from behind Xu Rong, running toward the center of the battlefield with all his might and shouting, "Stop, quickly! I am Feihuang, don't hurt my mother!"
"Huang'er!!!" Seeing Nan Feihuang rush into such a battlefield to save her, Lan Xue was so anxious her mind nearly shattered.
The strength of that monster was far beyond the Title level. Even for a Title Douluo, it was a life-or-death situation. For a Soul Elder like Nan Feihuang to enter, it was absolutely a situation with no chance of survival.
However, something unexpected happened. Hearing Nan Feihuang's voice, the creature inside the red light suddenly widened its blood-red eyes.
It changed the direction of its attack with almost the fastest speed possible.
That giant fireball was not fired at Nan Feihuang, but shot into the sky, directly piercing a large hole through it.
The power of this strike was probably more than ten times stronger than the Ninth Soul Skill of a conventional Title Douluo.
"Neigh!" Another horse's neigh rang out.
The red light excitedly rushed toward Nan Feihuang, wrapped him up, and disappeared with a speed akin to Teleportation.
"No, my child!" Lan Xue rushed anxiously toward the place where the light had vanished, but her speed was far too inferior to that creature's.
She couldn't even see which direction the light had gone.
"Young Master!" She Long was equally anxious, because when the red light had just covered Nan Feihuang, the unconscious Qian Renxue, who was being held in his arms, had been taken away along with him.
"Huang'er, my Huang'er!" Lan Xue stumbled a few steps, unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed.
She had been injured first, and then her Spirit Avatar had been repelled; the injuries she sustained were truly not light.
"Xue'er!" Finally, Nan Tianchen caught her, shouting anxiously, "Elder Zhang, quickly, save my wife."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Fifth Soul Skill: Purple Crystal Grape!" Elder Zhang produced three bunches of grapes. His grapes were for healing; he not only shared them with Lan Xue but also gave some to She Long and Ci Xue.
Now, both sides were grasshoppers on the same rope.
With their Crown Prince captured and their Young Master missing, both sides had to cooperate.
Lan Xue took the grapes, and as the medicinal power took effect, her injuries improved slightly, but she remained weak. The grapes could only heal injuries but could not restore her mental energy.
In her daze, she kept muttering, "Huang'er, Huang'er..."
"Rest assured, Huang'er will be fine!" Although Nan Tianchen hated his own uselessness, he could only offer words of comfort. He secretly swore in his heart that even if he died, he would find his son.
As for Nan Feihuang and Qian Renxue, who were worried about by everyone, they had actually not suffered any harm.
The red light had brought the two of them into a giant cave; it seemed this was where it usually lived.
Nan Feihuang placed the unconscious Qian Renxue gently on the ground, then stood up, looked at the creature behind him, and smiled, "Hehe, it really is you. It's been a long time!"
