Chapter 1378: Sweeping Away Obstacles

Xie Tianhong didn't have the ability to spot the ice monster in advance.

So when he stepped close to the ice monster, it suddenly struck him down with a fierce palm.

The huge ice monster, disguised as an ice mountain, showed how massive it was.

Its palm, massive as it was, could not be evaded even if Xie Tianhong were invisible.

"Brother Xie, be careful!"

Ye Liuyun knew he couldn't escape, so he called out a warning, his eyes fixed tightly on Xie Tianhong.

Xie Tianhong was startled in his heart as well.

The force of that massive palm, even if he blocked it with a Divine Sword or a shield, would crush him into a meat patty!

At that moment he could not hide; he instantly unleashed Spatial Power and vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already on the ice monster's arm and slashed down with his sword.

But his sword intent was very weak, only carving a small notch in the ice monster's arm.

The ice monster swung its arm, trying to fling him away.

He again used Spatial Power, appearing at the ice monster's feet, cutting and smashing at its legs.

At the same time, he fully let go, beginning to compress the ice monster's body with Spatial Power.

The ice monster's body, squeezed by Spatial Power, clacked, the ice chunks turned into powder and rustled down.

"Hmm, Spatial Power is indeed a good way to deal with ice monsters!"

After seeing that, Ye Liuyun also thought Xie Tianhong reacted quickly.

These ice monsters lack Core Pills and True Essence, unable to resist Spatial pressure.

Therefore using Spatial Power against them is indeed the best method.

And by observing the Spatial Power Xie Tianhong burst in the crisis, he confirmed that Xie Tianhong's Spatial Power was indeed not as strong as his, and was lacking by a good margin.

Soon, the ice monster's body was crushed by Spatial Power, turning into shattered ice that collapsed with a roar.

Xie Tianhong again used Spatial Power to dodge away.

"Brother Xie, your Spatial Power is so strong, why didn't you think of using it earlier?"

Ye Liuyun deliberately sighed from the side.

"I hadn't thought Spatial Power would be so effective against ice monsters before!"

Xie Tianhong had to start explaining.

"Roar!"

With a great roar, another massive ice monster, seeing that Xie Tianhong had a way to counter them, immediately awakened all the ice monsters, surrounding Ye Liuyun and the others together to avoid being taken down one by one.

In an instant, over ten ice monsters grabbed nearby ice blocks and hurled them at them, then charged forward.

"Brother Xie, take down the biggest one first!"

Ye Liuyun voluntarily "gave" the biggest one to Xie Tianhong.

He swung his blade and attacked the smallest ice monster first.

Xie Tianhong had no reason to refuse.

He could only dodge other ice monsters' attacks while using Spatial Power to strike the biggest ice monster.

This time the ice monster was also prepared, using elbow strikes, head rams, and knee thrusts to enlarge its movement space, confronting Xie Tianhong's Spatial Power.

But lacking True Essence, its resistance could only buy some time, and it would ultimately not escape destruction.

From afar, Ye Liuyun watched clearly, eliminating the ice monsters one by one at an unhurried pace.

Because Xie Tianhong attacked the biggest ice monster, the others also swarmed him.

Xie Tianhong was battered, dodging everywhere; seeing Ye Liuyun unable to break away to rescue him, he finally revealed more strength.

He directly used Spatial Power to send his sword aura into the ice monster's body, attacking from within.

"So he also knows this technique!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

This technique is commonplace in his original world, even ineffective against some strong opponents.

But against these ice monsters, it is extremely effective.

The booming "Boom, Boom, Boom" of explosions kept echoing as ice monsters fell one after another.

Ice chunks of varying sizes scattered across the ground at their feet.

"All obstacles have finally been cleared!"

Xie Tianhong finally exhaled, sheathing his weapons.

"No more danger?"

Ye Liuyun asked tentatively.

"Yes! These ice monsters are the final obstacle!"

Xie Tianhong confirmed very confidently.

Only then did Ye Liuyun notice that beyond the ice mountain they had bypassed lay an open ice plain.

"Should we be at Xuecheng now?"

"But where exactly is Xuecheng?"

He guessed in his mind, with Golden Pupil and Divine Sense fully released, yet found no trace of Xuecheng.

All he could see was an endless ice plain.

After bypassing the ice mountain, Xie Tianhong walked only a few li forward before stopping.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Liuyun asked puzzledly.

「Xuecheng has arrived! 」

Xie Tianhong laughed and said.

「Have we arrived? 」

Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

「Yes, we've arrived! But you just can't see it yet! 」

Xie Tianhong continued to smile and said.

「Xuecheng is a secret realm? 」

Does it have an entrance and exit? 」

Ye Liuyun guessed.

「Haha, Brother Ye, you're indeed clever! But you only guessed half right. 」

Xuecheng is indeed a secret realm.

But we just can't find the entrance and exit! 」

Xie Tianhong burst out laughing.

「Brother Xie, stop being cryptic—the more you say, the more confused I get! 」

Ye Liuyun simply couldn't understand how a secret realm could have no entrance or exit.

But he had indeed examined this area repeatedly, and indeed found no spatial entrance or exit.

Xie Tianhong also explained to him: 「Do you remember the Snow Clan I mentioned earlier? 」

Xuecheng is a special secret realm; only members of the Snow Clan can summon it! 」

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun also suddenly understood.

「You're the Snow Clan? 」

Xie Tianhong immediately denied it.

「I'm not. 」

But you will see the Snow Clan right away. 」

After saying that, Xie Tianhong released a woman from his space world.

Ye Liuyun feigned surprise: 「What is this…? 」

「You've already seen that I have spatial power; I didn't expect you to discover I have a space world? 」

Xie Tianhong retorted.

「I had overlooked that! 」

Ye Liuyun pretended to say.

But upon seeing that woman, he was also startled.

「Brother Xie, this is the Snow Clan? 」

But how was she abused like this? 」

Ye Liuyun asked, frowning.

As it turned out, the woman had her core dug out, her tongue cut off, unable to speak, only able to emit a hoarse 'ah' sound.

Her divine soul power was also pitifully weak.

With that divine soul power, she's probably worse than an ordinary person.

It's likely someone deliberately weakened her divine soul power.

However, she had no external injuries, and her attire was quite normal.

Ye Liuyun saw that she was indeed different—her skin was as white as snow, and even her hair was white.

Xie Tianhong explained to Ye Liuyun: 「Brother Ye, you don't know this! The Snow Clan has always been deceitful, skilled at bewitching hearts and sowing discord. 」

Therefore we cannot let her speak and harm people.

Moreover, if we don't remove her Primordial Core and deplete her Divine Soul Power, once she reaches this point she will absorb boundless power, become an invincible being, and we simply cannot control her!
