Chapter 162 Ice Cold Heart Devourer

"No, let's go together. You're no match for him alone, and perhaps neither of us are." Tang Qianyu said.

"If that's the case, why should two people die together?" Mo Qi replied.

"This..."

"Look into my eyes," Mo Qi said.

Tang Qianyu truly looked into his eyes.

Then, she obediently moved away.

Mo Qi first swallowed countless medicinal herbs into his mouth, herbs that had been pre-processed for refining the Golden Body Elixir. Simultaneously, he activated his Flame God ability within his body, beginning to catalyze the medicinal power of the Golden Body.

"How peculiar!" Nangong Yun said dismissively, forming a hand seal.

A wall of ice rose before him, spanning the heavens and earth, plunging the entire space into an endless chill.

"So, it's also an Ice and Snow Divine Ability," Mo Qi mused. "I wonder what the true power of a Mahayana stage Ice and Snow Divine Ability is."

Nangong Yun suddenly slapped the ice wall. It exploded with a roar, scattering countless ice blossoms that filled the air, dispersed, and intertwined, instantly condensing into numerous ice swords. Their cold light was dazzling, their killing intent palpable. The ice tips were densely packed, neatly arranged, like stars scattered across the night sky, staring fixedly at Mo Qi.

The ice swords stretched horizontally, seemingly endless, and vertically, they reached from the heavens to the earth. How could one dodge them?

Mo Qi gasped and hurriedly formed a hand seal, channeling the Earth Arrow ability within his body. Countless spiritual energy arrows surged forth.

The spiritual energy arrows lingered before him for a moment, like a stroke of divine artistry. Mo Qi drew a circle before him with his hands, guiding them. The light of each Earth Arrow suddenly expanded, aligning horizontally before him, spanning several zhang, completely shielding his body.

Once formed, these light arrows continuously rotated in the same direction in the air, creating a vortex, intricate yet orderly. Their radiance intensified, engulfing the entire space in a white glow.

Mo Qi pointed his finger, and a row of arrow light rotated out, striking the ice swords opposite him. The ice swords collided with the arrow light, and explosions erupted one after another. Light energy fragments and ice blossoms scattered everywhere.

Overwhelming power erupted continuously, pushing Mo Qi backward with each successive wave of spiritual energy.

He desperately stabilized his body, continuing to alternate his hands in front of him. The vortex before him continued to flow, releasing a continuous stream of arrow light that struck towards Nangong Yun.

As if digging a tunnel, the arrow light spiritual energy forcefully carved a passage through the forest of ice swords, heading towards Nangong Yun. This passage precisely enveloped Mo Qi's body.

However, the ice swords that were originally unable to reach Mo Qi's body suddenly curved. The sword formations on both sides formed an arc, bypassing the passage and attacking Mo Qi from the sides.

Meanwhile, the arrow light Mo Qi unleashed continued along the passage towards Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun merely shifted his hand seal, and countless ice swords flew from the sword formations. Amidst the rumbling sounds, the two forces tore at each other. The ice swords were slightly stronger, shattering the arrow light into dissipating energy fragments.

The ice sword formations on both sides continued to advance in an arc towards Mo Qi's flanks.

Mo Qi was greatly alarmed and hurriedly redirected his arrow energy outwards. The vortex of arrow light instantly dispersed, forming a fan shape that met the ice swords.

With this dispersion, the arrow light was no longer impenetrable, creating gaps of empty space.

Countless ice swords whistled through these gaps and projected towards him. Before they even reached him, the sound of sword energy piercing the air could be heard incessantly.

Concurrently, endless cold air permeated the atmosphere, chilling him to the bone, and a soul-tearing power assailed him.

Mo Qi hastily concentrated his Flame God ability onto his arm, retreating rapidly while swinging his arm to strike at the ice swords. With each strike, his body trembled, and the boundless cold air penetrated his body, nearly shattering his arm.

Yet, he had no choice but to swing his arm repeatedly to knock down the ice swords.

When the ice swords first touched his arm, they shattered with a series of clattering sounds.

Later, he could only break them into two or three segments. Gradually, he could no longer break them, only deflect them.

His arm became increasingly numb, almost frozen. The initial flames on his arm gradually extinguished, replaced by a layer of ice, which then rapidly spread throughout his entire body.

An endless sense of cold permeated the depths of his being.

As a result, the Flame God power within him could no longer be wielded normally, and the medicinal effect of the Golden Body gradually dissipated.

When he swung his arm to strike away the last few ice swords, his entire body was encased in a thick layer of ice, swaying precariously.

Nangong Yun laughed heartily, sensing imminent victory. His opponent was about to be turned into an ice sculpture.

"You little brat, you're still too green to fight me."

"You might catch up to me after another hundred years of cultivation."

"But now, you have no chance. Today is your death day."

With these words, Nangong Yun lunged at Mo Qi, forming his right hand into a fist, which instantly condensed into an ice hammer. He savagely smashed it towards Mo Qi, intending to shatter him into pieces as his body turned into an ice sculpture.

Yuwen Yan gasped, thinking, He's dead for sure now. I told you not to underestimate him.

You didn't believe me when I said I could handle him, and now you're paying the price.

She wanted to break free from the bracelet and control Mo Qi's body to defeat Nangong Yun herself, which would have been a piece of cake.

But the critical issue was that, at some unknown point, Mo Qi had actually added a restrictive talisman to the bracelet!

This wasteful brat!

Tang Qianyu's soul-suppression technique had also dissipated. She suddenly realized Mo Qi was on the brink of death but could only open her mouth wide, forgetting even to cry out.

Mo Qi's consciousness was still clear. He desperately urged his Flame God spiritual power, while the Earth Arrow ability within his body blazed brightly, circulating rapidly. He felt as if he saw his own unyielding soul from ancient times lingering between heaven and earth.

The Flame God spiritual power surged back with renewed ferocity, instantly coursing through his entire body.

With a "boom," as if igniting a bonfire, Mo Qi's entire body suddenly burst into flames, enveloped in a thin layer of cyan-blue fire.

Gradually, a warm current flowed within him, and a scorching power erupted wildly.

The spiritual power of the Undying Golden Body Elixir also seemed to have reached its peak.

Seeing the opponent charging at him, Mo Qi had no time to react. He hastily condensed his Flame God power onto his arm. His entire arm became like a burning iron hammer, which he swung fiercely towards the incoming ice hammer.

Nangong Yun was greatly shocked. He had never expected his opponent to recover, let alone so quickly.

He knew very well that his Ice and Snow Divine Ability was precisely countered by the opponent's Flame God Divine Ability. If they clashed head-on, he might be at a disadvantage.

But at this moment, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be shot. If he didn't meet the force head-on, the fist, as scorching as a red-hot iron hammer, would definitely strike him, incurring a far more painful price.

Therefore, he had no choice but to brace himself and meet the ice fist. At the same time, he pointed his left hand at his right, and the cold air intensified. The ice fist rapidly expanded, making a ringing sound as it hardened, like the sound of iron hammers hardening.

In the brief moment of exchange, the surrounding air was solidified by the cold energy. Where it touched his arm, sparks flew.

The burning iron hammer collided with the ice fist with a deafening roar, and powerful energy surged violently.

Nangong Yun's body retreated slightly, while Mo Qi's body flew out in a straight line, traveling hundreds of zhang before hitting the ground. Tang Qianyu flew forward to catch him but was also sent flying.

Both landed on the ground. Mo Qi landed on top of her, unharmed, while Tang Qianyu coughed up a mouthful of blood and couldn't get up for a long time.

At this moment, Nangong Yun let out a pained cry. Under the violent collision, his ice fist had been shattered into pieces, scattering ice debris. A pool of flesh and blood appeared on the ground.

His entire arm had been reduced to ice shards, shattering and falling.

The situation had taken a sharp turn. He had never expected that his momentary carelessness would lead to such severe consequences.

But what surprised and angered him was that Mo Qi's body seemed to have suffered no damage.

He thought that by sacrificing an arm, he should have at least been able to shatter the opponent's entire body. But to his surprise, the opponent, who had flown hundreds of zhang away, was unharmed. This surely had nothing to do with Tang Qianyu catching him.

Mo Qi hurriedly rolled over and helped Tang Qianyu up, asking, "How are you?"

Tang Qianyu shook her head slightly. "I'm fine," she then asked with concern, "How are you?"

Mo Qi smiled and said, "I'm fine, quite comfortable, actually!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianyu immediately understood, her pretty face flushing crimson. She wanted to kick him but held back, as a real enemy was still watching them menacingly.

Nangong Yun was filled with hatred!

His anger had swelled to the point where it was about to tear his body apart.

However, anger could not be converted into strength.

"Ice Cold Devouring Heart!" Nangong Yun shouted, spreading his left hand. An ice ball appeared in his palm and began to spin rapidly.

Wisps of white mist from the surrounding space drifted towards the ice ball. As the ball spun, layers of mist covered it, forming clouds of white fog that rapidly expanded in the air.

Wherever the white fog passed, nothing grew.

The grass first became covered in a layer of white frost, then rapidly withered, and in an instant, it exploded.

However, the white fog did not drift gently like real fog; instead, it moved like fine arrows, spreading rapidly.

A fierce cold air assailed them, like countless tiny blades, fiercely cutting at Mo Qi and Tang Qianyu's skin.

Tang Qianyu spun her flying blades at extreme speed. With a series of clinking sounds, the flying blade energy was quickly dispersed, and the blades themselves were shattered, their fragments falling to the ground. The cold air fiercely lunged at her.

Mo Qi's figure flashed urgently, and he hastily shielded her, placing a few leaves of the Heavenly Heart Divine Grass, used for alchemy, in his mouth.

He amplified it with the burning Flame God power within his body, quickly activating its spiritual power, and then spat it out forcefully.

The spiritual power of the Heavenly Heart Divine Grass had the effect of resisting cold air. With the amplification of Mo Qi's Flame God spiritual power, its ability to counter the cold air was greatly enhanced. This was a defensive measure he conceived on the spur of the moment when facing the enemy.

The Heavenly Heart Divine Grass grew in the wind, finally clashing head-on with the cold air.

The cold air erupted violently, and the Heavenly Heart Divine Grass exploded with a roar, scattering fragments everywhere.

Mo Qi's body was once again sent flying backward, landing on top of Tang Qianyu again.

Whether intentionally or accidentally, Mo Qi spun around as he was sent flying.

This way, when he landed on Tang Qianyu, they were face to face.

Tang Qianyu's face turned crimson with shame. She quickly turned her head away and then tried to push him away with her hands.

Mo Qi rolled over and got up, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was unintentional."

"Unintentional? Do you believe that yourself?" Yuwen Yan said.

Mo Qi reached out to pull Tang Qianyu up.
