Peerless War God

"It really is an ice spirit!" Huangfu Wanrong and Ding Chuan's surprised voices also sounded out.    

It was obvious that they were surprised to see such a rumor.    

And at this moment, Chen Xiao who was standing on the surface of the ice, suddenly felt an extremely bone-piercing coldness from the frozen lake below his feet.    

The layer of ice that had been shattered by the punch suddenly crystallized again. In the blink of an eye, it had been completely frozen and returned to its original thick layer of ice.    

And from the bottom of the layer of ice, the figure suddenly came out, and walked straight towards Chen Xiao.    

That thing seemed to be walking very slowly, but for some reason, he actually walked very fast. In the blink of an eye, it came out from under the thick layer of ice and reached out to grab Chen Xiao's shoulder.    

It was only now that Chen Xiao could finally see clearly what exactly this blue figure was doing.    

It was actually a 'person' whose entire body was covered in light blue flames!    

Or perhaps, it was a flame similar to a human's!    

The "person" formed by the flames appeared to be a woman. She was as tall as Chen Xiao, but the flames on her body had changed into a light blue palace dress, and even her facial features were revealed. If not for the terrifying layer of flames on her body, others would probably take her for a real person!    

As the flaming figure got closer and closer, the surrounding cold aura became more and more intense. It was obviously the image of a woman covered in flames, but when it got closer, not only did it not feel any heat, it even emitted a bone-piercing cold aura.    

It was a good thing that after cultivating for so many years, Chen Xiao had not seen anything. It was practically an instant that he confirmed that this thing was indeed an ice spirit!    

Although it was born from the ice, it was an existence similar to a strange fire. It possessed a certain level of intelligence, but its intelligence was extremely low, and an ice spirit with a mature body could use fire to transform into a human. However, it could only be similar to a human, and could not completely transform into a human.    

Moreover, the flame he was carrying did not have any warmth. Not only did it not have any temperature, it was frighteningly cold. Any life that was accidentally touched by it could be frozen into pieces in an instant.    

Of course, if he had a high level of cultivation, it would be a different story.    

At this moment, a layer of dense mana automatically appeared on the surface of Chen Xiao's body, completely protecting his body, and before the ice spirit could grab hold of him, Chen Xiao subconsciously retreated half a step.    

It seemed like he had only casually taken half a step back, but he had coincidentally dodged the ice spirit's hand.    

After failing to grab hold of the ice spirit's attack, it did not have any intention of fighting on. Instead, it quickly melted and dissipated into a large amount of light blue flames, attempting to escape into the layer of ice beneath its feet.    

However, she had finally found him. How could Chen Xiao let her leave so easily?    

At the moment when he was about to disappear, he suddenly turned his head around and grabbed at it with his backhand.    

All of the nature's spirit energy within a thousand meters of Chen Xiao congealed into a huge spirit energy hand, grabbing towards the ice spirit.    

However, the ice spirit didn't stop moving. A small ball of light blue flames shot towards the hand.    

In the next moment, Chen Xiao shockingly discovered that the large spirit hand he condensed was instantly frozen into ice the moment it collided with the light blue flame!    

Hiss!    

A gasp came from Chen Xiao's mouth.    

Just how cold was the flame to be able to directly freeze even the big hand made of spirit energy that was controlled by Chen Xiao?    

Ka-cha! *    

A crisp shattering sound rang out!    

After the spiritual energy hand was frozen for a short while, a crack suddenly appeared. Immediately following that, it became many fine cracks. Finally, with a bang, it turned into pieces of ice and scattered all over the place.    

The light blue flames had already drilled into the frozen lake and completely disappeared, as if they had never appeared.    

Chen Xiao frowned slightly as his consciousness spread throughout the frozen lake in an instant, yet he did not find any trace of it.    

Not far away, Huangfu Wangrong, Mo Qiu and the others flew over. However, after the earlier commotion, none of them dared to land directly on the frozen lake. Instead, they floated at a height of nearly a thousand meters, while staring at the frozen lake below like tigers eyeing their prey.    

"That thing might have run away. If it's just one of them, they probably won't dare to continue provoking us!" Ding Chuan's voice sounded a little depressing.    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao felt depressed. He had originally wanted to grab hold of one and study it, but now it seemed like he had completely failed.    

Even though he knew that the chances of success weren't high, Chen Xiao still fell back onto the layer of ice and reached out his hand to touch it once more.    

At this moment, what Chen Xiao was touching was exactly the place where the ice spirit had appeared in just now.    

Just as Chen Xiao had expected, the ice layer here was evidently much colder than the other layers in the surrounding area.    

"What a pity!"    

Chen Xiao muttered, and in the end, turned and flew towards Huangfu WanRong and the others.    

Seeing Chen Xiao's return, Huangfu WanRong smiled and said, "This item is already hard to catch, if we can't catch it, then that's fine. Let's go to that secret realm and take a look first. We're not far from here!"    

"Alright then!" Chen Xiao nodded, and the others also agreed.    

After resting for a few hours, everyone had almost recovered. With this incident, it was no longer very safe here. No one wanted to stay. After some discussion, they decided to head out.    

As they gradually approached the mark on the map, the surroundings became increasingly quiet. On the way here, they had seen some traces of a fight, and they had even encountered a group of other warriors, but now, half a day had passed and not a single person could be seen. There wasn't even a trace of a fight nearby.    

This proved that this place was remote enough.    

In the air, the few of them stopped again. Huangfu WanRong took out a jade scroll and stuck it between her eyebrows to check, while Chen Xiao and the rest gathered around to protect her.    

A moment later, Huangfu WanRong looked around and casually pointed at a rolling hill as she said, "It's over there! "We'll be there after we cross these hills!"    

Hearing this, everyone's spirits were immediately lifted. They then flew over to that direction together.    

However, things didn't go smoothly this time. As soon as they arrived at the second hill, a deafening howl could be heard.    

Then, a white bear, about ten feet in size, jumped from behind the hill toward the group.
