Chapter 418 Solution
The entire mountain area was completely changed in the fierce battle.
The originally steep hillside was flattened by the violent aftermath of spiritual power, and the frozen soil cracked into spider-web-like gullies, revealing the dark soil underneath.
The biting cold wind whistled across the battlefield, carrying ice chips, but it could not blow away the thick smell of blood.
Gu Yang was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.
The snow monster in front of him was already at the end of its strength, with most of its ice crystal boxing gloves broken and its body full of dents from heavy punches.
Looking around, the battle on Hu Qing's side would probably end soon, and Xiao Zi was about to succeed. Only the rat man was still struggling in a panic.
"It seems that I will win the first prize this time." Gu Yang grinned, revealing his bloody teeth.
He suddenly rushed forward, and his right leg swept out like a steel whip, causing a sharp sonic boom!
The snow monster instinctively crossed its arms to block, but this was exactly what Gu Yang wanted.
His advancing figure paused strangely, and his right hand lightly pressed on the snow monster's heart.
This seemingly soft movement made the snow monster's hair explode instantly!
"Breaking the air!"
With a loud shout, Gu Yang suddenly clenched his fist.
It seemed like just a slight tremor, but the air behind the snow monster suddenly twisted - that was a sign that the power of the fist was penetrating through the body!
"Pfft-"
The snow monster's solid chest exploded like paper, and its ice-blue heart was completely exposed to the cold wind, still beating tenaciously.
Gu Yang sneered and unleashed a second burst of fist power. The heart exploded into a bloody mist with a muffled "bang".
The snow monster's dark blue pupils shrank rapidly, and a look of fear froze on its hideous face.
Its huge body shook and collapsed like an iceberg, splashing mud and snow all over Gu Yang.
"Pooh!" Gu Yang spat out the ice in his mouth and casually shook off the sticky blood on his hands.
Turning to look at the rat man, he couldn't help but frown -
The fat mouse was covered in wounds, with its left front paw twisted unnaturally, but it was still darting around the yeti's legs.
In contrast, the yeti was almost unharmed except for some venom on its fur.
"You are really unreliable and a waste." Gu Yang cursed but still strode forward.
As he passed by the snow monster's corpse, he broke off a sharp piece of ice crystal and weighed it in his hand.
"Hey, stay away, I'm here to help you."
The rat man was desperately trying to dodge the trampling of the snow monster, when he suddenly saw Gu Yang approaching, and a light of hope suddenly appeared in Green Bean's eyes.
It deliberately exposed a flaw, luring the snow monster to bend down and grab it, and then it suddenly jumped behind Gu Yang.
"Sir, you are finally here. I leave this place to you!"
After missing the target, the snow monster was about to chase, but saw a black shadow flying towards him.
It subconsciously reached out to catch it - it was an ice crystal fragment from its companion's fist!
Before it could react, Gu Yang had already stepped on its raised arm and leaped into the air, his right leg chopping down like a battle axe!
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of the broken cervical vertebrae was particularly clear, and the yeti's head tilted to one side at a strange angle.
The huge body slammed into the ground like a golden mountain or a jade pillar, causing several more cracks to appear on the ground.
The rat man sat slumped in the snow, watching Gu Yang deal with his opponent with ease. His whiskers trembled, and he finally understood the gap between himself and the real strong ones.
……
Xiao Zi drew a beautiful purple trail in the night sky, and the vibration of its dragon wings brought up tiny flashes of lightning.
The eyes of the snow monster opposite had turned into two blood holes, and ice-blue blood coagulated on its hideous face.
It waved its arms wildly, and every time its giant fist struck down, it stirred up snow waves several feet high, but it could never touch the swift purple shadow.
"Roar--!"
The snow monster roared unwillingly, and the sound waves caused the snow on the surrounding pine trees to fall down.
Xiao Zi spun nimbly, and the dragon's tail hit the back of the snow monster's head. As the snow monster staggered, he spurted out a ball of purple-gold dragon breath.
Flames exploded on the yeti's back, and the scorched fur emitted a pungent smell.
The snow monster's movements became slower and slower, and its heavy breathing turned into white mist in the severe cold.
It suddenly knelt on the ground, its strong arms dug deep into the snow, trying to absorb the last bit of ice and snow power.
How could Xiao Zi give it this opportunity?
With a swoop, his sharp claws accurately grabbed the snow monster's crown.
A tiny bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the snow monster's head, paralyzing it and making it unable to move.
"Crack!"
With the crisp sound of the skull shattering, the huge body of the snow monster fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the splashing snow foam in the air reflected the sad moonlight.
Xiao Zi gracefully shook the brains off his claws and turned to look at other battlefields.
The battle on Hu Qing's side was like a one-sided massacre.
He stood in the air, his black robe fluttering, and with a light tap of his fingertips, thousands of sword energies whizzed out.
These sword energies were not just brute force, but were as precise as a scalpel.
The first wave of sword energy cut through the ice armor on the snow monster's body, the second wave peeled off the thick fur, and the third wave specifically targeted the weak spots of the exposed gray-iron skin.
The snow monster howled in pain and tried to fight back but couldn't catch sight of Hu Qing at all.
I saw sword lights pouring down from the sky like the Milky Way. Every time a sword energy penetrated the body, it would explode into tiny sword beams inside.
Gradually, the snow monster's movements became more and more stiff, and the flesh and blood tissue in its body were shattered by the sword energy.
When the last brilliant sword light pierced through the snow monster's eyebrows, it froze in the posture of swinging a fist.
As the cold wind blew, this huge monster collapsed like a sand sculpture, turning into countless sword-marked fragments scattered all over the ground.
Hu Qing flicked his sleeves lightly, and all the sword energy dissipated instantly.
He landed gracefully on the ground, without even a trace of blood on the soles of his shoes.
Then he frowned slightly. He still needed a weapon, otherwise the consumption would be too great. Killing this snow monster would reduce his spiritual power by two-thirds.
Gu Yang stepped on the broken head of the snow monster, and ice-blue blood slowly dripped along the lines of his boots.
He flicked his wrist and turned to look at the rat man lying limp on the ground.
The gray-haired fat man lay on the snow with his arms and legs spread out, his round belly heaving violently.
His bean-sized eyes stared straight at the night sky, with his tongue hanging out, like a tired old dog.
"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."
Every time the rat man took a breath, a cloud of white mist came out of his mouth. "My Lord... My Lord is worthy of being called... My Lord. I... really... tried my best... and I'm burning it all out!"
Gu Yang sneered and was about to mock him when his pupils suddenly shrank.
On the ground, the four bodies of the snow monsters were sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It didn't melt, but was slowly sinking into the frozen soil as if being pulled by some force.
Hu Qing reacted extremely quickly and waved his finger, and the golden sword energy instantly tore the ground within a radius of ten feet.
The frozen soil flew and ice chips splashed everywhere.
But there was nothing except the soil raised by the sword energy.
It was as if those bodies had never existed.
"What the hell? Where's the body?"
Gu Yang released his spiritual consciousness in disbelief, and his spiritual power seeped into the ground like a tide.
His spiritual sense struggled through the permafrost, exploring every inch of soil - except for the hard soil that had been frozen for years, not even a trace of blood was left.
"This is impossible..." Gu Yang withdrew his consciousness, frowning, "Even if it is a very advanced escape technique, it should leave some traces."
Hu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves swaying slightly in the cold wind.
He looked at the towering snow-capped peak in the distance and whispered, "They should have returned to the Holy Mountain. I sensed a sporadic surge of spiritual energy, but I can't find its direction. I only know it's at the top of the Holy Mountain."
"What do you mean?" Gu Yang asked.
Hu Qing did not answer immediately, but turned to look at the crack in the ice where they had originally lived.
It had collapsed during the battle, and the broken ice crystals glowed a faint blue light in the moonlight.
"Let's find a place to rest first." Hu Qing said, raising his hand and emitting a ray of light.
A ball of light hovered in mid-air, illuminating a snow-covered depression not far away. "We'll just stay there tonight."
The rekindled bonfire crackled, and the dancing flames reflected on everyone's faces.
Little Zi coiled on Hu Qing's shoulder, occasionally sticking out her tongue and breathing out air;
The rat-man huddled beside the fire, carefully combing his singed hair with his claws;
Gu Yang leaned against the ice wall with his arms folded, staring at the flames in a daze.
"Those snow monsters..." Gu Yang suddenly said, "They clearly only have the spiritual power fluctuations of the Nascent Soul stage, but their actual combat power..."
"Straight to Duanchen."
Hu Qing took over the conversation, his fingertips gently stroking an ice-blue crystal—
This is the sample that Gu Yang took from the snow monster. "The physical strength, combat instincts, and elemental control are all far beyond those of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators."
Gu Yang snorted coldly: "No wonder the rat man was beaten so badly."
When the rat man heard this, his ears drooped in shame and he buried his face in his paws.
