Nine Yang Sword Saint-Chapter 265 - Rescue Dongfang!
Chapter 265: Rescue Dongfang!
“Master, is there any method to stop Dongfang Bingling’s Sacrifice? There isn’t a lot of time left.” Yang Dingtian asked urgently.
Even though Dongfang Niemie was just a divine consciousness and couldn’t actually breathe, but he currently had hurried breaths inside Yang Dingtian’s mind. It was obvious that he was experiencing extreme anxiety. Dongfang Bingling was his birth daughter, while Yang Dingtian was his disciple that carried all the hopes. These two individuals were the closest people to Dongfang Niemie, and if Sacrifice were released, the two of them would be blown into smithereens.
“Child, I truly wish I knew how to stop Sacrifice too, but… I really don’t know how.” Dongfang Niemie said, “So, you need to hurry up and run. Right now and as far as possible.”
“What about Dongfang Bingling? She is going to die.” Yang Dingtian said.
“That is her fate. You have to hurry up and run.” Dongfang Niemie said.
“Master, I can’t run. If I am in the lake, I will still perish. If I emerge to the surface of the lake, Qin Huaiyu and others will kill me.” Yang Dingtian said.
Currently, the ice had already spread to Dongfang Bingling’s chest area and had rapidly reached her neck. Once it spread to the top of her head, her entire body would be transformed into ice, and it would be the moment of the release.
According to Yang Dingtian’s estimation, there were less than ten seconds before Sacrifice would be released.
“Master, why were the trio’s combined mystic skills unable to harm Dongfang Bingling at all when the attacks were so powerful?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“Because the ice energy that is revolving around her body is a natural energy barrier. All ice attribute attacks would be nullified and devoured while fire attribute attacks wouldn’t be able to penetrate.” Dongfang Niemie explained.
“Then, if I can injure Dongfang Bingling, will it stop the Sacrifice?” Yang Dingtian inquired.
“It should.” Dongfang Niemie said, “But, the surface of her body is being protected by an extremely powerful energy, you will not be able to penetrate it. No, wait, others might not be able to do it, but you can. Thunder attribute energy can ignore all defenses, especially the ice attribute.”
Right at this moment, the ice had already spread to Dongfang Bingling’s nose.
There were just less than three seconds before destruction.
Yang Dingtian used his fastest speed and all his mystic qi to prepare the thunder attribute mystic skill, Mountain Split.
Two seconds later…
“Bang…” A thunderbolt was shot out abruptly and struck ruthlessly on the surface of Dongfang Bingling’s body.
The thunder attribute energy had completely neglected the indestructible ice protection and was buried into Dongfang Bingling’s body.
Even though Dongfang Bingling had extremely powerful energy on the surface of her body, the interior of her body was at the weakest moment. Thus, when the thunder energy entered her body, there wasn’t any resistance, and Dongfang Bingling immediately fainted.
There was no movement, no sound, no resistance, and she directly collapsed due to Yang Dingtian’s thunder attribute mystic skill, Mountain Split.
Immediately after, Sacrifice had stopped.
The ice had already spread to her forehead, and there was merely less than half a second before the release.
Yang Dingtian had taken another trip to the doorstep of hell but ultimately didn’t enter. He had yet to break away from danger yet, as Qin Huaiyu and the others might return at any moment. Yang Dingtian had to escape from this place immediately.
There were three available directions for escape.
The first direction was to go up and to leave the central lake. Of course, this direction was not feasible. As soon as he left the surface of the lake, he would be noticed by Qin Huaiyu and others. It was a path of certain death.
The second direction was the ice below the lake and finding a corner to hide.
The entire central lake stretched over 100 miles; hence, it wasn’t difficult to find a corner to hide. But even if he hid, Qin Huaiyu and the two others were absolute experts, and it shouldn’t be hard for them to sense Yang Dingtian’s presence. Hence, it was still going to be very hard to escape their demon clutches.
The third direction was to head down, further down, all the way down!
Of course, the third direction was even more uncertain as Yang Dingtian didn’t know what was underneath if he continued going down.
He had a subtle feeling that the further down he went, the colder it would get. However, he had Nine Yang Mystic Meridians which would keep him alive barely.
Back at the abandoned mine, there was an unfreezing pool. The coldest part of the pool was a place that not even Zhao Wuji could endure, and he was a Martial Supreme.
The first direction was impossible.
The second direction was easy, but the chances of getting discovered were extremely high.
The third direction was the most uncertain.
But no matter what, Yang Dingtian had to make a decision as quickly as possible. In a matter of a few seconds, Yang Dingtian made his decision.
He chose the third direction even though it was filled with uncertainty and unknown.
After deciding the direction to go, he had to decide if he were going to bring Dongfang Bingling along. Of course, Yang Dingtian didn’t have to hesitate before coming to a conclusion.
The conclusion was to bring Dongfang Bingling along.
Yang Dingtian might only have resentment towards her, but she was still his Master’s only daughter. Furthermore, his Master’s divine consciousness was in his mind right now.
He carried Dongfang Bingling on his back and instantly felt a bone-chilling sensation that caused him to shiver.
Yang Dingtian stored the Sky Devil Flame Saber in the spatial ring and took out his youngling sword.
The Sky Devil Flame Saber might be a fire attribute weapon, but the fire attribute energy contained within was much inferior to his youngling sword.
Yang Dingtian’s youngling sword’s primal divine senses might still be sleeping. But as a weapon, there wasn’t a huge influence.
Grabbing his youngling sword, Yang Dingtian stabbed into the ice below while the fiery mystic qi was released through the youngling sword.
Instantly, the ice within the three feet radius from the youngling sword was melted.
While carrying Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian dived down while gripping his youngling sword tightly and continued to stab down deeper. As he continued going deeper, he continued to use his mystic qi to melt the ice.
Just like that, Yang Dingtian had constantly been diving deep into the ice. The water that just melted behind him had quickly turned into firm ice again.
The melting of the ice was naturally slower than breaking the ice and would use more energy too. But if Yang Dingtian broke the ice, it would leave behind an obvious mark that was the same as telling Qin Huaiyu and the others where he had escaped. Once he passed through the melted ice, they would freeze back quickly and wouldn’t leave any signs.
One meter by one meter…
Yang Dingtian constantly melted the ice and constantly went deeper.
Over ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian had already dived a few hundred meters into the ice.
The ice in front of him looked like it was endless, but Yang Dingtian continued to melt and dive!
Half an hour later, Yang Dingtian had already descended close to 1,000 meters.
“Pfff…” All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian’s body shook.
It turned out that he had reached the end of the ice.
