Chapter 91 Facing High-Ranking Demons
"Lord Xiong, is there a Celestial Master accompanying the grain transport team?" Ning Xiaoxi asked Xiong Wei as soon as she saw him.
Seeing Ning Xiaoxi's anxious expression, Xiong Wei felt a pang in his heart and turned to look at a centurion next to him who was about the same height as him. "Big brother!"
"Forest subordinate!"
A fast horse came along, carrying a man dressed in the robes of an official of the Earthly Fiends. "My lord."
The centurion, whom Xiong Wei called his elder brother, introduced them: "Lin Yitian is an officer under Lord Diqiao. Ning Xiaoxi is an officer under Lord Tianji."
Ning Xiaoxi glanced at Lin Yitian and discovered that he was actually at the ninth level of the intermediate rank. "Officer Lin, there is the aura of a high-level demon forty miles to the west. Judging from the direction, it is heading straight this way. Do you dare to come with me to meet the enemy?" Being an officer of Lord Tiangang can be quite useful sometimes.
Lin Yitian was amused by Ning Xiaoxi's words, "Girl, what's there to fear from mere demons!"
Ning Xiaoxi smiled brightly and turned to Xiong Wei, "Lord Xiong, Wang and my brother are with the exile team. Please take care of things here, my lord. Lord Lin and I will go and stop that demon. We will definitely not let that demon get close to the team."
"Don't worry, young lady, with Xiong Wei here, nothing will happen to the team." Xiong Wei recalled Ning Xiaoxi's brilliance yesterday and felt he couldn't be too bad, so he loudly assured her.
"Official Lin, it's up to us now!" Ning Xiaoxi glanced at Lin Yitian slightly, then unleashed her power, using the Earth Step technique to disappear into the distance.
Lin Yitian laughed loudly and galloped away on his horse.
“Officer Lin, it’s a Snow Maiden who has just been promoted to a high rank. The Snow Maiden has no core and no soul. I have a talisman cage that can trap it. Officer Lin, do you have any techniques to deal with it?” Ning Xiaoxi ran alongside Officer Lin.
"Snow Woman?" Lin Yitian raised an eyebrow, reached out and pulled Ning Xiaoxi's arm up, making her sit behind him. "I am also of the ice attribute, so my attacks are not very effective against it. If we just want to trap it, there is no problem. It's just that according to records, no high-level Snow Woman has appeared for at least a hundred years. I didn't expect that we would encounter one."
Ning Xiaoxi said no more, and pointed in the direction, "Then, Officer Lin, help me trap it in my talisman cage, fix it so it doesn't dissipate, and it will be easier to deal with."
"it is good!"
As the two raced on, the snow piled up, and ice gradually appeared on the snow.
In a frozen wasteland, the Snow Woman seemed to sense their arrival and stood proudly amidst the ice and snow.
The Snow Woman was tall, easily one and a half times the height of an average person. Her skin was as white as snow, almost translucent, with faintly visible icy blue veins flowing beneath. Her white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, each strand exuding a chilling aura, with glistening ice beads clinging to the ends, swaying slightly with her movements and reflecting a cold light. Her eyes were a deep, icy blue, filled with endless coldness and indifference. Her hands were slender and long, with fingers as sharp and delicate as icicles, and nails also icy blue. She wore a long white ice-silk dress, seemingly thin yet made of a hard material, with exquisite ice patterns carved into the hem. Her bare feet were crystal clear, a truly breathtaking sight!
"So beautiful!" Ning Xiaoxi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Only a demon could have such a bewitching form!" Lin Yitian's eyes were clear, and he was not bewitched by the Snow Woman's beauty in the slightest.
The Snow Woman let out a sharp shriek, and in an instant, an ice storm rose from the ground, with sharp ice shards shooting towards the two of them like hidden weapons.
Lin Yitian reacted extremely quickly, pushing forward with both hands, and an ice shield instantly formed. Ice shards struck the shield, making crackling sounds, and the splashing ice shards scratched his cheeks, causing traces of blood to seep out, but he seemed unaware, his eyes fixed on the Snow Maiden's every move.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ning Xiaoxi took out the spirit crystal dagger. A simple sealing rune drew a strange arc in the air, with runes flashing within it, trying to find a flaw in the Snow Maiden's defense and set up a hidden trap.
"Trying to trap me!" The Snow Woman's voice was cold and clear. Her hands moved, and the snow seemed to come alive, transforming into several ice pythons that bared their fangs and claws as they pounced on the two of them.
Seeing this, Lin Yitian remained calm and unhurried. He flashed forward and took the initiative to meet the ice python. He quickly changed hand seals, and with each seal, the coldness in the air intensified. He pushed his palm forward, and a beam of icy blue light shot out. Wherever it hit, the ice python was frozen and shattered into ice shards scattered all over the ground.
However, the Snow Woman's attacks came wave after wave, and the rain of ice shards poured down again, even more fiercely than before.
The ice python that lunged at Ning Xiaoxi collided with the runes she had drawn in mid-air. The runes transformed into a faint fire dragon, which dissipated upon impact with the ice python.
Lin Yitian dodged to the side, but caught a glimpse of Ning Xiaoxi's spellcasting being hindered, and his heart tightened with anxiety. Immediately, he held back, his inner power surging wildly. With a roar, he unleashed an icy domain centered on himself. Within the domain, the temperature plummeted, snowflakes swirled, and all the ice shards aimed at him and Ning Xiaoxi instantly froze, hovering in the air.
"Xiao Xi, hurry!" he shouted.
Ning Xiaoxi understood immediately. The Spirit Crystal Heart transformed into a defensive shield around her, and with a flash, she rapidly approached the Snow Maiden, carrying a fiery heat.
Sensing the change in air temperature, the Snow Maiden retreated quickly, feeling uneasy. Having just reached a high level, it was not yet stable and had no chance of winning against two mid-level ninth-rank opponents.
How could Lin Yitian give her a chance to retreat? The ice shards that were frozen in his domain became his weapons. With a wave of his hands, the ice shards reflected towards the Snow Woman. Although they could not hurt the Snow Woman, they successfully restrained her movements in conjunction with the fiery temperature emanating from Ning Xiaoxi.
Sensing Lin Yitian's intention, the Snow Woman waved her sleeves, causing snow to swirl and create a snowfall space. Her figure instantly vanished, turning into ice and snow and disappearing without a trace.
"Trying to run?" Lin Yitian unleashed the final pressure of his Frost Domain, freezing the air within a mile radius and isolating a world in its place.
Under Lin Yitian's domain, the Snow Maiden's figure, which had just dissipated, immediately condensed and reappeared in front of the two of them, while being locked in the ice domain for two seconds.
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes sparkled. She flipped the dagger, and the Cursed Cage shone brightly, transforming into a golden cage that tightly bound the Snow Maiden within.
The moment the cage took shape, the icy domain dissipated. The Snow Woman repeated her trick, vanishing without a trace, but was trapped by the golden cage, unable to escape. Helplessly, she reformed, frost forming on her beautiful face. Icy power condensed into a sword, relentlessly striking the cage. The cage bars creaked and groaned, as if they might break at any moment.
The snow woman's icy blue eyes stared at the golden cage, then turned to Ning Xiaoxi, "You're the one who killed my sister?"
Ning Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment. Her younger sister? The snow woman from last time? "I don't know what you're talking about!" This was something she absolutely could not admit in front of the other subordinates.
