Chapter 1441
"You've been here," Long Chen said, frowning. "So you knew about me."
"Did I know about you being here?" Yui Ling asked, seemingly amused. "Do you think I'm an idiot who will talk to herself out loud?"
"You hid well, but I had an idea about your presence."
"So you intentionally leaked this information, so I would take the treasures since you can't take them," Long Chen said, taking an educated guess. "What next? You'll kill me and take the treasures?"
"Nope. I won't kill you and take them. Instead, I'll take them, and then I'll kill you. You stole the key that was mine and stole the opportunity from me. But you were an idiot if you thought I'd let you be," Yui responded.
"In fact, I should thank you. You used the key instead of giving it to Zhu Chang and even stayed here alone for me to find you. You've been such a nice kid."
"Well, I've always been nice," Long Chen smiled, shaking his head.
"Now be a nicer boy and toss your ring to me if you don't want to die first."
"You talk as if you won't kill me if I give the ring to you?" Long Chen burst into laughter. "Anyways, why should I not leave directly? Not like you can stop me."
"Go ahead and try leaving." Yui Ling smirked. "If you can."
She tapped her feet on the ground, casting an obstruction at the entrance of the room behind her.
The same barrier appeared all around the wall as well, making it seem like everything was frozen in ice suddenly.
"Did you just seal the space around us?" Long Chen inquired. "So unlucky..."
"Hahaha, now you're starting to get worried? Throw your ring to me, and I might give you a quicker death. It won't be that unlucky for you."
Long Chen sighed as he turned around. "I wasn't talking about me when I said unlucky."
"I was talking about you," he further added, glancing towards the sky.
"I would've let you live if you hadn't seen me take the treasures, but now that you've seen me, you'll tell everyone else about this if you can't take them from me. So just like you can't let me live, I can't let you live either."
"Still, I should thank you for blocking the entrance. That shall give us some privacy."
He tapped his feet on the ground, casting a different barrier in their surroundings which modified the frozen barrier, boosting the obstruction path for Yui Ling as well, making sure she couldn't leave as well.
"Just as a precaution. I hope you don't mind."
"You really are arrogant!" Yui Ling said, frowning. "You think your acting would be enough to intimidate me?"
"Who says I wanted to intimidate you," Long Chen responded. "But I certainly wanted to test my strength against a Godly Beast Heir. Since you were defeated by Zhu Chang, you might not be the best opponent, but still, it might be interesting."
As Long Chen spoke, his dark eyes appeared to have grown even darker as a dark shadow appeared behind him, twice his size.
"W-what is that?" Yui Ling asked, stunned.
She couldn't feel any strength coming from Long Chen, but she could certainly feel the strength in the shadow behind him, and it didn't look much weaker than her. The aura of the dark shadow was really powerful.
Long Chen didn't mind her words, almost ignoring them.
He brought his Sword of Time out of his storage ring.
"It doesn't matter! I'll kill you today!" Yui Ling tapped the ground twice with her feet.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, a stark white mist came out of the ground and shot straight towards Long Chen.
Long Chen moved his left foot behind, bringing one forward. He raised the Swore of Time high in the sky before bringing it down with full strength, stabbing the sword in the group.
Boom~
As the Sword of Time was stabbed in the group, a wall of darkness came out from the crack that was developed on the ground, which cast a shadow wall around him.
No matter how powerful the snow was, it couldn't destroy the wall of darkness. Instead, it simply froze the wall around Long Chen, sealing him inside an ice block.
"Hide in the shell. Let's see how long you can last," Yui Ling said, walking towards the ice block inside which Long Chen was trapped.
She placed her right hand on her chest. Her entire body started shining in a white light.
A snow white spear started taking shape before her.
"Your sword is a good weapon. It can seal you in a cocoon, but even it came to save you from my soul weapon!" She flew high in the sky, landing on top of the ice block.
Gripping her spear firmly, she thrust it on the ice block, stabbing it.
The Frozen Spear was the soul weapon of Yui Ling, which was very high grade. It easily sliced through the ice block like a needle penetrating a block of cheese. Not only the block of ice, it even penetrated the shadow wall, touching the ground.
Yui Ling pulled out the spear and stabbed again, choosing a different space. She kept stabbing, again and again, trying to hit Long Chen.
However, no matter how many times she stabbed, she didn't hear any screams of Long Chen, meaning he wasn't touched by it.
If he were even grazed by the frozen Spear, he would've screamed in pain as all his nerves were going to be frozen. That's why Yui Ling was stunned. Long Chen was inside this small block yet she hadn't been able to graze him.
"Come on, you rat! Stop avoiding!" She yelled in frustration.
"Try the left corner. He might be hiding there." A voice came from behind Yui Ling.
She subconsciously nodded and stabbed the left corner of the block, only to then understand what had happened. Her eyes opened wide as she pulled out the spear, turned back.
However, the only thing she saw was a rusted Sword coming towards her.
She didn't even get a second to respond before her head flew away from her body.
"That's the thing with you people. You always underestimate others. It's annoying but certainly beneficial," Long Chen smiled, landing on the ice block which was covered in blood of Ice Phoenix.
"Come on, don't tell me you didn't have the Revival Talisman?" Long Chen asked, not relaxing.. Instead, she started checking the dress of the Ice Phoenix to find any Revival Talisman.
