I'm Here to Save You

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Giant ice spikes shot up into the sky.

Crack!

Caught off guard, Ye Shu was solidly frozen by the ice crystals that sprouted from beneath his feet.

Frozen inside the ice sculpture, Ye Shu rolled his eyes.

This old geezer has no martial virtue.

Coming right up to trick and sneak attack a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man like him, he was not a good person.

"Shu'er, is this what you meant by making friends?"

Danxia's helpless voice rang out.

"That's right, can't you see I've already mingled with him? It's such a hot day, and he was afraid I'd be too hot, so he thoughtfully helped me cool down. He cares about me," Ye Shu replied in his mind.

"Is he doing that for your own good?! He's trying to kill you!"

Danxia was almost laughing from anger.

As expected, she couldn't trust her disciple's emotional intelligence.

It was completely in the negatives!

Later, she had better possess his body and persuade the opponent with reason.

"Kid, who sent you?"

"Medusa?"

"Or that bunch of trash from the Taiwu Imperial City?"

Bingxuanzi walked out slowly from the ruined door panels with his hands behind his back, his gaze arrogant.

He lived in seclusion here, unknown to anyone.

Now, a junior had suddenly arrived, and although he spoke arrogantly, every word was piercing, hitting the two things he hated the most right now.

First was the physical degeneration caused by the seal on his body.

He had gone from a once handsome, eight-foot-tall man to his current appearance of a little brat.

Second was the fall in his realm and a massive drop in his cultivation base.

How unrestrained and free was he once? With a wave of his hand, he could freeze tens of thousands of miles, freeze mountains and rivers, and shatter the sky. But now, he could only live in seclusion here, being an unknown innkeeper, freezing ice cubes!

To be able to poke his sore spots so accurately.

He couldn't help but be suspicious.

But no matter what, now that his cultivation was gone, encountering either of those two groups would not end well for him.

He couldn't stay here, and this kid couldn't be left alive.

Thinking of this, Bingxuanzi's eyes turned cold. "Kid, no matter who sent you, today you will pay the price for your arrogance."

"Just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, now dying at the hands of me, the Martial Maniac Bingxuanzi."

"You should be proud enough!"

He raised his hand, and countless ice spikes appeared out of thin air, glinting with a chilling light under the sun.

"Heh..."

"I didn't come from any faction. I was just passing by and saw a spineless old dog calling himself some Martial Maniac. You say you are living in seclusion here, but to me, you look like a stray dog whose spine has been broken by someone. You don't dare to go home, and you want to bite back but don't have the guts."

"So a pent-up frustration suddenly arose in my heart."

"I just had to spit it out..."

Ye Shu was frozen inside the ice sculpture, his limbs unable to move, but his mouth still didn't stop, carrying a bit of careless mockery.

"Kid! You're courting death!!!"

Bingxuanzi was instantly furious beyond control and waved his large hand!

The surrounding ice spikes instantly pierced inward.

Boom—

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and ice shards flew all over the sky, flashing with colorful hues under the sunlight, looking extremely beautiful.

"Hmph!"

Bingxuanzi snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He couldn't stay here for long; he might have already been targeted.

Just then, a slightly mocking voice came from behind him, "Hey, that bean sprout over there, you want to leave after sneak attacking your granddaddy? Where in the world is there such a good thing?"

"You haven't even given me my shaved ice yet."

How could this be?!

Bingxuanzi turned his head abruptly.

Within the cloud of smoke and dust, he saw Ye Shu walk out completely unharmed. His hemp garments fluttered loudly in the wind, and there wasn't a single scratch on his entire body.

"How can you be completely fine!"

Bingxuanzi's pupils shrank suddenly.

Even if his cultivation base had fallen to the Golden Core realm, a sick tiger still retains its lingering might. His divine abilities and techniques couldn't possibly be withstood by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Could he be hiding his cultivation base?

But, it didn't seem like it.

Whether from his aura or anything else, the person in front of him was unmistakably at the Foundation Establishment stage.

If he could evade his Soul Formation perception, that would be even more terrifying.

Ye Shu chuckled lightly.

"It's just that the corner of my clothes got a little dirty, that's all."

He raised his head, looked at the fully prepared Bingxuanzi, and smiled faintly, "Old thing, courtesy demands reciprocity."

As soon as his voice fell.

Thump thump thump—

A sound of pulse gates opening rang out. Ye Shu's figure suddenly vanished from his spot, and in the next moment, he had already appeared right in front of Bing Xuanzi's eyes.

"What?!"

Bing Xuanzi's pupils shrank as a fist the size of a sandbag rapidly enlarged in his eyes.

"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"

Bang!

Bing Xuanzi flew backward, shattering dozens of ice spikes in a row, and smashed fiercely into the ruins of the inn behind him.

Ye Shu retracted his fist, his eyes indifferent. "This punch contains thirty layers of formations. Can you block it?"

In the ring, Danxia was dumbfounded and speechless.

According to her rebirth memories.

Shu'er clearly needed her to possess him to fight a great battle with Bingxuanzi, but now...

A burst of laughter suddenly came from the ruins.

"Good, good, good!"

"I have roamed the Taiwu Imperial City unhindered for so many years, and it has always been me fighting enemies across realms. No one has ever crossed realms to strike me so ruthlessly. No wonder you dare to speak such arrogant words."

"Let me weigh your worth again!"

"Frost Freezing a Thousand Miles!"

Creak creak creak...

A thin layer of frost instantly covered the ground, making a teeth-aching creaking sound. In the dog days of summer, with the scorching sun hanging high, during the hottest time in the Dangur Desert, Ye Shu felt a deep chill, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. It sent chills down his spine, and all the blood in his body felt as if it were frozen.

Ye Shu only felt his movements become sluggish.

A boundless curtain of snow suddenly fell from the sky. As snowflakes drifted down, Bingxuanzi's figure slowly walked out. A hundred-zhang ice dragon coiled around his entire body, looking so lifelike that it seemed like a true member of the dragon race.

"Go."

Bingxuanzi pointed from afar, and the ice dragon instantly let out a deafening roar, opening its massive mouth wide as it bit down toward him.

The dragon's head arrived in an instant.

The bloody maw was right before his eyes.

And Ye Shu's thought at this moment was actually—So damn cool, this is what a true divine ability is.

Divine abilities must be cool and have special effects.

Like the wind following the dragon, and the clouds following the tiger!

Starlight rises in the wasteland, the heavens return to my heart.

Ye Shu closed his eyes. Star-like specks of light flickered on his torso, eventually gathering in the palm of his hand, which he then gently pushed forward.

"Star Shatter."

In an instant, the galaxy swirled, and all things returned to one.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

This was followed by an incomparably blinding white light.

The ice dragon's body cracked inch by inch, ultimately turning into a sorrowful cry. The sleeve on Ye Shu's right hand was completely reduced to powder, and his fist bones cracked, bleeding continuously.

Yet he neither shouted nor screamed, his gaze remaining indifferent.

Seeing that this move was still blocked by him, Bingxuanzi wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. Not only was he unafraid, but he actually felt a surge of excitement.

"Good, good, good! It's been a long time since I've enjoyed myself this much!"

"Let's go again!"

After saying that, his figure swayed, arriving in front of Ye Shu, and threw out a punch.

"Kid, what exactly is your identity?"

"How did you know I was here?"

Strength brings respect.

The strong always sympathize with one another. When Ye Shu displayed sufficient strength, Bingxuanzi was naturally willing to ask a few more questions.

"Didn't I say it earlier?"

Ye Shu asked while parrying the attacks.

"I was passing by and saw Senior destitute and in a dilemma. This junior couldn't bear it in his heart, so I specially came to... save Senior."
