The icy mist entered the body through the mouth and nose, and the chill emanated from the inside out. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably become hypothermic in a very short time and eventually die.
Chu Yang also felt the chill, but the Qilin blood began to boil wildly within his body.
As a man who bathes in the blood of an entire Qilin, this low temperature is nothing to Chu Yang; his scorching body is enough to melt ice and snow.
The Ice Mist Demon was clearly not expected Chu Yang to be so resilient. A look of surprise flashed in its eyes, but then only endless fervor remained. The body in front of it, which contained terrifying blood energy, was like an incomparable treasure to it.
In just a moment, the Ice Mist Demon's sanity value dropped to zero.
It opened its mouth and let out a strange and mournful roar, the sound like the howling of the cold wind in the night. A human face, faintly visible inside its body, struggled to fly out of its body.
After flying out of the Ice Mist Demon's body, those faces transformed into complete human shapes, emitting a blue glow, floating in the mist like blue jellyfish.
One of the blue lights rushed towards Chu Yang at an extremely fast speed, but he crushed it with a flick of his wrist. Then, a memory that did not belong to Chu Yang surfaced in his mind.
A boy, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, was walking through a wasteland, hungry and cold. The scene was short, and it ended with a focus on the boy's despairing face.
As more and more blue lights attacked Chu Yang and were then destroyed by him, many similar scenes appeared one by one, all of which were the moments before these people died.
A group of homeless refugees froze to death in the wilderness, becoming nourishment for the demons.
It's also possible that they are the reason the Ice Mist Demons were born.
In this world overrun by demons, human life is hardly more valuable than a blade of grass.
More and more images appeared.
Chu Yang also heard frantic babbling in his ears, mixed with the cries of dead refugees. Under such circumstances, a normal person's SAN value would quickly run out.
The Ice Mist Demon drew ever closer, silently waiting for the moment Chu Yang would go mad. It had used this method to kill many martial arts masters who were sleeping in deserted villages.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Even after Chu Yang destroyed all the blue light and shadow, he did not go mad as the Ice Mist Demon had predicted.
The Ice Mist Demon instinctively sensed danger and decided to retreat.
However, it could not give up Chu Yang's life essence and blood, and greed gradually overwhelmed reason.
His cold eyes were fixed on it, and beneath Chu Yang's calm expression, a murderous intent was surging within him.
The surrounding mist quickly gathered, turning into wisps of white vapor that entered the Ice Mist Demon's body, while its main body rapidly grew larger, surpassing the surrounding thatched huts in the blink of an eye.
A giant of ice and snow, tens of feet tall, appeared before Chu Yang.
With no fog obstructing their view, Li Gexiao led Jiang Feng and his group to Chu Yang. Seeing him confronting the ice giant, everyone stopped and hid under the thatched hut.
"It really is a demon. Should we go out and help Young Master Chu?" Jiang Feng asked with a serious expression.
"The biggest help is not causing trouble. You should take better care of your family." Li Gexiao shook her head and was about to walk out when she suddenly felt something tug at her clothes.
He turned around and saw the huge wolfhound looking at him with a fawning expression.
"You beast, you're sleeping so soundly, why don't the demons eat you up!" Li Gexiao cursed irritably, then noticed the awkward expressions on the faces of those around him, and quickly chuckled dryly, "I was cursing a dog, not you all."
The others who heard this were even more embarrassed...
Li Ge smacked his lips with a smile, quickly changed the subject, patted the wolfhound's head, and ordered, "Protect the people here. If anything goes wrong again, I'll kill you and cook you for hot pot."
The wolfhound lowered its head and wagged its tail.
At the same time, the ice giant launched an attack on Chu Yang, its massive body, tens of feet long, stomped down with all its might, creating a surging wave of air that engulfed Chu Yang.
The surrounding thatched huts were all reduced to ruins by this attack.
Chu Yang formed a hand seal, and a fierce wind arose around him, even more violent than the air wave stirred up by the ice and snow giant. It not only neutralized the force but also blew the ice and snow giant backward, making it unable to stand firm.
Having fused the Five Demon Pearls into his body, Chu Yang gained the initial ability to control the power of the Five Elements. Although he hadn't yet reached the level of moving mountains and filling seas with a wave of his hand, summoning wind and rain was still no problem for him.
Rumble!
The moment the ice and snow giant, like a mountain, collapsed, the entire deserted village shook violently, making Jiang Feng and the others, who were hiding not far away, feel as if they were experiencing a major earthquake.
Chu Yang formed a hand seal once more, and crimson flames appeared out of thin air, illuminating the entire desolate village. A raging sea of fire poured down on the ice giant, causing it to let out a terrifying roar that echoed for dozens of miles.
Li Gexiao and the others felt dizzy and disoriented, and desperately covered their ears.
Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü were so focused on covering the two children's ears that they were completely unaware that blood was flowing from their own mouths and noses.
The wolfhound suddenly let out a long howl, and the void trembled as the effects of the demon's roar weakened.
Jiang Feng and his wife slumped to the ground, their complexions gradually improving.
"You little rascal, you've got some skills after all!" Li Gexiao vigorously rubbed the dog's head and grinned.
"Thank you very much, Brother Jiang!" Jiang Feng said with a smile and cupped his hands in thanks.
The wolfhound barked a few times as if to boast, wagging its tail excitedly.
Under the glow of crimson light, the intense heat distorted the void, cracked the ground, melted the stones, and reduced countless huts to ashes. The cries of the ice giants gradually weakened.
"What terrifying flames! They're just like the legendary Samadhi Fire! Young Master Chu is truly amazing!"
Jiang Feng stared at the shocking scene, his whole body trembling with fear.
He was known throughout the world for his philanthropy, and naturally donated to the most famous temples and Taoist monasteries in the Ming Dynasty, and befriended so-called Taoist masters and Buddhist Vajras.
Jiang Feng had seen Buddhist and Taoist secret techniques before, so they weren't unfamiliar to him. However, secret techniques with such terrifying power were truly rare. Generally, only senior abbots or sect leaders possessed such skill.
"So young, it's unbelievable..." Jiang Feng muttered to himself, puzzled.
Li Gexiao's expression was complicated. In the years when Chu Yang was still a useless prince, the two of them often got drunk and lived a dissolute life. He had never seen the other party diligently cultivate any Taoist scriptures.
Even with Master Guo's Shocking Wave Palm technique, Chu Yang practiced it only sporadically.
Is it a natural talent, or has it been a long-planned scheme?
The flames transformed the Ice Mist Demon back to its original form, revealing a crystal-clear, glass-like body. The intense heat caused its body to crack continuously, and it would soon shatter completely.
Just when everyone thought the demon was about to be defeated, the surrounding temperature dropped again, and a cold wind howled.
Under the moonlight, a stunningly beautiful figure descended from the sky and fell into the sea of fire. The intense cold air that accompanied her arrival actually froze the flames.
When Jiang Feng and his wife saw the newcomers, their bodies trembled violently, and their faces showed fear.
A voice as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier suddenly rang out.
"Jiang Feng, Hua Yuenü, come out and face your death!"
Beautiful, with an ethereal air, high martial arts skills, and such deep hatred for Jiang Feng—there are very few people in the world who meet all these criteria.
Grand Mistress of Yihua Palace.
Invite the moon.
Her voice was lively, ethereal, and elusive.
Although her tone was cold and ruthless, sending chills down one's spine, it was also gentle, beautiful, and captivating.
This is a direct quote from the book.
In Chu Yang's eyes, a few words could describe Yaoyue.
A mature woman with a loli voice.
Yaoyue's petite figure and her terrifying aura formed a very strong contrast, which was strangely cute, especially when paired with her cold face, creating a kind of unexpected charm.
Having mastered the supreme internal martial arts technique, Mingyu Gong, Yaoyue not only grew younger and retained her youth, but also gained a jade-like, crystalline, and soft glow on her icy white and cold face.
Doll-shaped figurines belong to this category.
Chu Yang looked at Yao Yue with great interest, but he didn't notice that Jiang Feng and his wife behind him looked ashen-faced.
"She actually came after me..."
Jiang Feng gripped Hua Yuenü's hand tightly and held the baby in his arms.
"Jiang Lang, we are afraid we will not escape death today."
Hua Yuennu was on the verge of tears, her voice choked with sobs.
Seeing their tense expressions, Li Gexiao asked in confusion, "Who is this woman?"
Jiang Feng replied, "The Palace Master of Yihua Palace is Yaoyue."
Li Gexiao gasped. The name of the Palace Master of Yihua Palace was renowned throughout the martial arts world. How could he, as a former Deputy Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, not know her?
What truly made Yaoyue famous was an attack launched by a powerful demon against the Yihua Palace five years ago.
The incident began when a powerful demon coveted Yaoyue's beauty and wanted her to become his demon concubine. However, Yaoyue ruthlessly rejected him and even verbally humiliated him.
Those who can become great demons are one in ten thousand, how could they possibly endure the humiliation inflicted by Yaoyue?
The great demon who returned to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons joined forces with four other great demons who were on good terms with him, and led a group of spirit demons to attack the Flower Palace.
The Yihua Palace suffered countless casualties in that battle...
What's even more astonishing is that four of the five great demons were frozen to death by Yaoyue's Mingyu Gong, and the great demon who boasted that he wanted to marry Yaoyue was forcibly stripped of his demon core and forced back to his original form.
It was this battle that made the name of Yihua Palace resound throughout the martial arts world, making it a top sect, and Yaoyue became a well-known top expert.
Countless masters flocked to the Yihua Palace, hoping to catch a glimpse of the beauty's charms, but they all ended up as ice sculptures in front of the palace gates.
From then on, the Yihua Palace became a forbidden place for men!
Thinking of Yaoyue's angry expression, Li Ge smiled at Jiang Feng and said meaningfully, "You're quite the handsome fellow, even Palace Master Yaoyue was completely bewildered by you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's expression immediately turned terrified. "Master Li, please be careful what you say!"
