The Confidence of Old Age

The Ice Emperor was shouting, but Xiao Ming didn't bother to pay attention to him. He directly used all his strength to activate the five-color shadow behind him, and also activated the Nine Palaces Annihilation Sword Formation to the extreme.

Suddenly, dense five-color sword auras reappeared in the sword formation. There were so many of them that they drowned the Ice Emperor like a rainstorm.

While the five-color sword auras were bombarding, Xiao Ming also used his Yuanshen secret skills, and one by one, the Shocking Soul Thorns slammed towards the Ice Emperor's residual soul like invisible missiles.

The sword auras and the Shocking Soul Thorns came out together, and the next moment, the Ice Emperor's shrill screams were heard again inside the sword formation.

The scene at this time was almost exactly the same as the situation in the main hall of the underground palace not long ago, but the difference was that Xiao Ming did not set up the Five Elements Absolute Heaven Sword Formation this time.

The reason was that after the Ice Emperor lost his physical body and Dharma image, he could no longer draw strength from the outside world to strengthen himself. In other words, the Ice Emperor's residual soul could only rely on his own reserve power to resist the attack of the sword formation.

When his power is exhausted, what awaits him is death.

Without setting up the Five Elements Sword Formation, Xiao Ming's consumption was greatly reduced. At the same time, he used the secret technique of Yuanshen. In this way, Xiao Ming's true essence consumption was not large, but the means he used made the Ice Emperor's residual soul feel great pressure!

However.

As time went on, Xiao Ming slowly found something wrong, and confusion and puzzlement appeared on his originally relaxed face.

Although the Ice Emperor's residual soul in the sword formation screamed continuously, his breath was weakened to a limited extent, and even remained as tough and powerful as before.

It seems that the five-color sword auras generated in the sword formation could not bring him a devastating blow.

Looking carefully, it turned out that the white ice flames surging around the Ice Emperor played a great role. After touching the white ice flames, the powerful five-color sword auras were quickly frozen, and then turned into pure energy and dissipated in the formation.

More importantly,

After being bombarded by sword auras, the white ice flame was not affected at all, and no damage was caused.

This ice flame is like an indestructible wall, blocking all real attacks. At least, the five-color sword auras generated by the sword formation cannot break through the protection of this white ice flame!

Fortunately, in addition to the five-color sword auras, Xiao Ming also has the Shocking Soul Thorn, an attack specifically targeting the Yuanshen.

The reason why the Ice Emperor in the formation screamed repeatedly was because he was attacked by the continuous Shocking Soul Thorns. When the five-color sword auras did not play their due role, the Shocking Soul Thorns caused considerable damage to the Ice Emperor's residual soul.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming became a little impatient.

His strongest means is the Nine Palaces Annihilation Sword Formation, but now it is completely useless against the Ice Emperor's residual soul. If this is the case, then the duration of this battle will be extended again.

In this case, he can only rely on the Shocking Soul Thorns to wear away the Ice Emperor's vitality bit by bit, but even if the Ice Emperor only has a wisp of residual soul left, his status and strength are still strong.

If he only relied on the Shocking Soul Thorn, Xiao Ming predicted that it would take at least half a day to completely kill the Ice Emperor's residual soul.

This was different from what he had expected.

"I didn't expect that a small Ice Emperor's residual soul would be so tricky!"

"If it really takes half a day, even if I can successfully kill the Ice Emperor's residual soul, my soul will have to consume a lot of soul power. After all, it costs a price to cast a series of Shocking Soul Thorns!"

"It is even possible that after consuming all the soul power, I still can't kill the Ice Emperor's residual soul!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming became more and more irritated.

To be honest, although he has a powerful soul secret skill, the Shocking Soul Thorn, his own soul strength is limited. Even if he eats the Soul Nourishing Fruit, his current soul strength is only an ordinary Dharma-phase level.

Xiao Ming guessed that his current soul strength is about the early Dharma-phase level, and it is unlikely to reach the middle level.

Therefore, with his current soul strength, it is indeed difficult to kill the Ice Emperor's residual soul.

While he was getting annoyed, a familiar and experienced voice suddenly came out of the Soul Hiding Ring.

"Xiao boy, I just sensed a very strong energy fluctuation in the outside world. Are you fighting against a Dharma-phase-level expert?"

As the voice fell, golden light suddenly appeared, and then the golden-colored old man Lian stretched his waist and emerged from the ring.

"Lian Lao, you are also alarmed?" Xiao Ming grinned.

Although the Soul Hiding Ring is where Lian Lao hides, Xiao Ming has also arranged restrictions on its surface. This restriction has only one function, which is to warn Lian Lao in advance to look outside.

After all, Xiao Ming has too many treasures and too many secrets, and he doesn't want to reveal his secrets, even in front of Lian Lao.

This restriction is quite exquisite and does not involve any restrictions. It only gives an early warning, and the disadvantage is that it will lose its due function when facing too strong energy fluctuations in the outside world.

Just like just now, Shi Wuzun, a Dharma-phase-level middle-level expert, exploded with a bang, and the noise caused was really too big.

It startled Elder Lian.

"I can't help but be startled!" Elder Lian laughed, "You kid, you make a big noise every once in a while, even if I want to sleep well, I can't sleep well!"

"Tell me, what problem are you facing now?"

As he spoke, Elder Lian's eyes were fixed on the Nine Palaces Annihilation Sword Formation not far ahead. It was obvious that he also saw Xiao Ming's current embarrassment.

"Elder Lian, you came out just in time. I do have a small problem now." Xiao Ming quickly recounted the current situation, while emphasizing the identity of the Ice Emperor and the magical nature of the white ice flame.

After listening, Elder Lian was also quite surprised and astonished.

"The remnant soul of the Ice Emperor? I didn't expect this guy to be alive. I thought he had already died because of his failure to become an immortal martial saint."

"I didn't expect him to be hiding on this nameless island and lingering."

After a pause, Elder Lian said, "And the layer of white ice flame you mentioned should be the Ice Emperor's famous flame, the extremely cold magic flame."

"With the powerful power of the extremely cold magic flame, even if it can only exert a part of its power, it can easily block the attack of your Nine Palace Sword Formation. There is no doubt about this."

Xiao Ming also nodded helplessly, and then asked, "Then how can we destroy the remnant soul of the Ice Emperor in the shortest time? With my current ability, I should be able to do this if I spend half a day, but I'm afraid that it will consume too much effort and even cause other changes."

Hearing this, Elder Lian laughed.

Laughed very happily!

"It's easy for me to kill a mere remnant soul!"

"In addition, I just discovered that this remnant soul has a great effect on me, and it can even be called a tonic!"

"Xiao boy, disband your sword formation now, and see how I kill this remnant soul!"
