Chapter 1350

Right behind them, the next 200 female spearmen charged in at full speed, shields raised overhead.

Every Frost Slime froze in place.

Their originally pale-blue bodies had turned a shade of pure white.

Their soft bodies were hardening.

The air turned cold.

White mist had actually appeared in the sky.

Ice crystals condensed around the slimes.

Fist-sized round ice balls formed on their bodies.

Those hundred-plus large slimes condensed not ice bullets, but arm-thick ice spears, one after another.

Ice spears were more powerful than ice bullets, and they had penetrating force.

And that largest giant slime was condensing the advanced spiritual technique Ice Whirlwind.

A wildly spinning mass of icy air was being compressed — its power was no small thing.

"Hold your shields steady. They're about to attack."

Tang Ruan let out a great shout and charged forward without the slightest hesitation.

Just a little over ten meters more, and she'd be within range of Provoke.

But an intensely cold temperature was already pressing in.

Puff Puff Puff!

Between heaven and earth, nothing else could be seen anymore.

Only wave after wave of ice bullets could be seen raining in.

The fist-sized ice bullets hammered down on the shields like sledgehammers.

Bang Bang Bang!

The charging female soldiers couldn't advance at all under the ice bullet barrage, and were instead knocked back several steps.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The massive ice spears shot forth.

Tang Ruan braced her shield with everything she had.

But the ice spears really were powerful — the Mystic Maiden Shield's defense couldn't block them completely, and some of the damage leaked through and struck the Mystic Maiden Battle Armor.

But it didn't matter; the armor still hadn't been broken.

Tang Ruan fought with all her might and wasn't knocked back.

Without the other female soldiers to share the fire, Tang Ruan estimated she'd be driven back before ever reaching Provoke's range.

"Tang Ruan, look out — the Ice Whirlwind is coming!" the female soldiers behind shouted.

"Got it, my lord. Bring it on!"

In an instant, the radiance of Inherited Enhancement manifested.

The energy Tang Ruan had stored was activated.

Feeling Zhao Chi's pulse, Tang Ruan's speed suddenly surged.

"Lunge, lunge!"

Tang Ruan's figure thrust forward again and again, rapidly closing the distance.

"Perfect, I'm in range! Slimes, come hit me!"

Tang Ruan let out a great shout, and a massive amount of purple light burst from her body.

The purple light shot skyward.

When it fell back down, it had become streaks of purple lines.

Spiritual power was limited — Tang Ruan couldn't actually use Provoke on every slime.

But as long as she drew the aggro of that largest giant slime and those hundred-plus large slimes, that was enough.

Slimes weren't humanoid creatures.

They were immune to the female soldiers' body fragrance.

But they couldn't resist spiritual techniques.

"Pff—squelch!!"

The giant Frost Slime let out a tremendous watery sound.

That was its roar.

The Ice Whirlwind came raging in, and every patch of dirt along its path turned into a hard, white frozen road.

Dozens of Frost Slimes were blown this way and that, tottering about.

A few were even completely frozen into ice sculptures, utterly motionless.

"They took the bait, let's go, now!"

Tang Ruan shouted and retreated at top speed.

None of the female spearmen hesitated — they all pulled back.

The Ice Whirlwind was fast, but Tang Ruan retreated with everything she had and used several lunges to successfully dodge it.

From behind, the second wave of ice spears and ice bullets came crashing down.

Fortunately, the female soldiers still had three shields on their backs.

This time, the ice bullets and ice spears slamming into their backs actually became an assist, knocking them forward and making their retreat even faster.

However, those ice bullets and ice spears seemed to have a slowing side effect.

It cut quite a bit off the female soldiers' movement speed.
