Chapter 3229 Lesser Fullness (The Mystery)
Faced with the Ice Demon's all-out attack, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Wenlun's eyes.
He no longer suppressed his aura.
A terrifying pressure far exceeding that of before suddenly erupted, and the cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage!
"die!"
Zhou Wenlun let out a cold shout and seemingly casually struck out with his palm, but it contained an overwhelming force.
"boom!"
The enormous ice demon was blasted away by his palm, crashing into the throbbing, cold-boned heart like a rag doll.
"Om-"
At this moment, the Heart of Cold Bones also let out a piercing, mournful cry.
Countless fine cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the enormous heart.
The entire ice chamber, and even the entire Bone Abyss, began to collapse violently.
Hu Xiaoman and Ning Shuang were both dumbfounded.
Ning Shuang clutched her chest, coughing up blood, her eyes filled with disbelief. She murmured, "Late Nascent Soul stage... Young Master Zhou, this is fucking too strong!"
At that moment, the cracked, cold-boned heart finally couldn't withstand the pressure and exploded!
The moment the Heart of Cold Bones shattered, the collapse of the entire ice cave accelerated dramatically.
Huge blocks of ice fell from above like a landslide, the ground cracked open with bottomless ravines, and devastating cold currents raged everywhere.
"what--"
The Ice Demon let out a desperate scream as his body began to disintegrate inch by inch as the Heart of Cold Bones shattered, turning into specks of ice.
With his last ounce of strength, he fixed his venomous gaze on Hu Xiaoman.
"Little beauty, you've deceived me... Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a violent icy current, carrying with him the resentment and chill of the entire abyss, like a vicious dragon, rushing straight towards Hu Xiaoman.
That power was enough to instantly freeze even a Nascent Soul cultivator into dust.
"Xiaoman!"
Zhou Wenlun's expression changed. He grabbed Hu Xiaoman's wrist and pulled her towards him, narrowly avoiding the deadly cold current.
At the same time, he released his spiritual power, which swept up Ning Shuang, who was already unsteady on her feet not far away. The three of them transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the collapsing ice cave exit.
Outside the ice cave, the entire Frostbone Abyss was crumbling.
Countless majestic icebergs collapsed with a deafening roar, the earth sank, and the once icy world was transformed into a chaotic apocalyptic scene.
However, just as they were about to rush out of the ice cave, Hu Xiaoman's gaze pierced through the falling ice blocks and landed on the sealed white-robed man.
The Xuanbing seal is cracking, and he could be swept into the spatial turbulence at any moment.
Do not!
Hu Xiaoman didn't know why she was so certain, but a strong voice was shouting in her heart—he is Hu Qingye!
She can't abandon him!
"Let me go, let me go!"
She struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Zhou Wenlun, rush over, and stand in front of the man.
She had to save him!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The white-robed man, sealed within the ice, slowly opened his eyes.
Those were ice-blue eyes, cold, empty, and devoid of any emotion.
His gaze pierced through the layers of collapsing ice, across the chaotic energy storm, and landed on the small leaf pendant around Hu Xiaoman's neck.
Then, a very strange smile appeared on his lips.
That smile sent chills down Hu Xiaoman's spine.
"Junior Sister, hurry up and run!" Ning Shuang shouted shrilly, pulling hard on Hu Xiaoman's arm.
But Hu Xiaoman seemed lost in thought, staring blankly at the man in white, murmuring, "Hu Qingye..."
As a massive iceberg was about to crash down on him, a resolute glint flashed in Zhou Wenlun's eyes.
Without further hesitation, he raised his hand and swiftly brought down the knife, delivering a precise chop to the back of Hu Xiaoman's neck.
Hu Xiaoman let out a muffled groan, and everything went black before her eyes as she completely lost consciousness.
Holding the limp person in his arms, Zhou Wenlun increased his speed dramatically, carrying Ning Shuang with him, and rushed out a second before the entire Cold Bone Abyss completely collapsed into nothingness.
Behind them, there was a deafening roar and a spatial storm that swept everything away.
The Ice Demon's final resentment and bitterness, along with this ancient, frigid forbidden land that had existed for ten thousand years, turned to dust.
……
When everything returned to calm, only a scene of devastation remained in the world.
Ning Shuang immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her storage bag and held it under Hu Xiaoman's nose so she could smell it.
A pungent smell wafted over, and Hu Xiaoman slowly woke up.
She sat up abruptly, and the first thing she saw was the ruins that had been turned into a huge abyss.
“Hu Qingye…” Her eyes instantly turned red.
Just then, from the center of the ruins, a faint wisp of black light slowly floated up.
It was an irregular black fragment, shrouded in an aura that shared the same origin as the Ice Demon.
Heavenly Stone Fragment!
Hu Xiaoman's heart stirred, and despite her sadness, her body reacted first.
With a wave of her hand, the fragment flew into her palm and was quickly collected into the vast expanse of the world.
After doing all this, she slowly stood up, turned to look at Zhou Wenlun, and her red eyes no longer held any of their usual liveliness, only cold scrutiny and aloofness.
"Who are you? Why are you approaching me?"
The gentle smile on Zhou Wenlun's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a deep and complex expression that Hu Xiaoman couldn't understand.
He remained silent for a long time, so long that Ning Shuang felt the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, before slowly speaking: "Fiancée, I am just the young master of the Zhou family in Feiyang City."
Hu Xiaoman knew he wouldn't tell the truth.
She ignored him and focused all her attention on the leaf pendant around her neck.
Inside the pendant space, Hu Qingye sat quietly cross-legged. His soul was much more solid than before, no longer appearing almost transparent, and his aura had stabilized.
However, he still did not wake up.
Hu Xiaoman clearly felt that an invisible force, like a net, was firmly imprisoning Hu Qingye's consciousness, suppressing him and preventing him from waking up.
The source of that power...
Hu Xiaoman suddenly opened her eyes, the last eerie smile of the man in white flashing through her mind.
A strong sense of unease gripped her heart.
She immediately sat down cross-legged, placed her palms on the ravaged ground, and released her divine sense without reservation.
Like a fine net, it swept across the ruins again and again, trying to find any trace of the man in white.
However, there was nothing.
He vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed.
Hu Xiaoman withdrew her divine sense, her expression growing increasingly grim.
Things are definitely not that simple.
What exactly is the relationship between the sealed man and Hu Qingye?
And what role does Zhou Wenlun play in this game?
A thick fog enveloped her.
Everything has become so complicated!
