Chapter 47: Killing the Ice Puppet
"Dan level?"

As Su Cheng took two steps closer, he felt a burst of coldness coming towards him, like the extremely pure cold air of the full moon.

"This item is indeed rare." Shi Xuan said softly, "But now that you have condensed your life star, this treasure is not very important to you."

"As long as it works."

Su Cheng didn't rush to take the treasure. He looked around the stone walls on both sides and wondered if there were any traps or anything like that.

Shi Xuan smiled when he heard this: "This is a cultivator's cave. Even if there are any mechanical restrictions, they should be set up outside the door."

"That's true." Su Cheng put his fingers together and hooked them lightly, and the jade crystal in the ice lotus immediately flew into his palm.

After returning to the lakeside with satisfaction, he looked back at the dark passages in the temple, and after a brief consideration, he joined hands with Shi Xuan to continue exploring the secrets.

"Since so many monks from various sects have gathered here, perhaps there are even more precious treasures deep within this secret realm."

Su Cheng randomly chose a cave entrance and continued to go deeper, stepping on the ice and snow on the ground.

The biting cold wind was intermittent, and scattered frost formed on the robes of the two men again.

"Ok?"

When his vision suddenly widened, Su Cheng's expression froze.

The ice-blue phosphorescent lights on the four walls burned silently, illuminating the eerie emptiness inside the hall.

A dozen feet away, two rows of ice-armored guards stood solemnly with swords in hand, as if they were a ceremonial procession to welcome their lord back to the palace.

The silent murderous intent condensed into substance, which was more penetrating to the flesh and bones than a cold wave.

“Are these ice sculptures?”

"They are puppets." Shi Xuan said in a slightly depressed tone: "You have to be careful, they may suddenly attack."

Su Cheng chuckled softly and casually summoned the Qingxuan Sword: "The owner of this cave is more cautious than you think."

Shi Xuan stammered awkwardly: "I was not thoughtful enough."

"It doesn't matter."

The sword pointed diagonally at the ice, and Su Cheng slowly staggered around. "Help me find out if there are any hidden traps around here."

While he was keeping a close eye on things, he was also constantly scanning everywhere out of the corner of his eyes.

The temple itself is no different, but the difference is
At the very back of the ice figurines, there was a strange building that looked like an altar, and it seemed as if something was emitting ripples.

"If we can get around to the back, maybe—"

"careful!"

Before Shi Xuan could finish his warning, Su Cheng hugged her slender waist tightly and turned around to retreat quickly.

The place where he had originally stood exploded with a loud bang, and the giant ice crystal axe sank deep into the crack of the ice surface.

Su Cheng tapped the ice surface with the tip of his boots and slid out more than ten feet. He glanced with a serious look and saw ice puppets pouring out of several corridors like a tide.

Kara -

The axe-wielding ice puppet twisted its body slightly, making a teeth-grinding friction sound, and ice chips fell from the joints and cracks of its nails.

It pulled the heavy axe out of the crack in the ground, turned its head and looked over. Two faint blue flames flashed under its finely carved mask.

"Trouble." Su Cheng frowned slightly, wielding his sword to dispel the frosty air: "It seems that this battle cannot be avoided."

Ka!

Several ice puppets holding swords stepped on the cracked ice surface and attacked head-on with a cold gale.

Su Cheng swept the sword horizontally, and silver flames rolled up the blade. With the clanging sword whistling, the cold iron clashed, and sparks splashed like waterfalls!
Amidst the falling rain of ice crystals, several broken blades were thrown into the air.

Ding Ding Ding!
Three crisp sounds echoed through the ice cave, and three ice heads fell to the ground.

Su Cheng held Shi Xuan and dodged, his robes fluttering like clouds, and the green sword was raised diagonally to deflect the heavy axe that was about to chop him in the face.

He did not retreat even a single step, but the ice puppet holding an axe was already pushed back more than ten steps by the huge force.

But then a large number of ice puppets appeared, and swords and swords came from all directions to kill them.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The sword's spine trembled and hummed softly. Su Cheng raised his arm and attacked repeatedly, the cold light from the blade forming a curtain of light. Suddenly, he saw the ice puppet's head, which he had cut off earlier, return to its place on its own, and the broken sword was once again solidified.

"Immortal?"

Su Cheng's brows knitted slightly. Although the overall strength of these ice puppets was not strong, at best they were comparable to those at the level of the Perfect Entry Profound Realm.

But if they can't all be killed, this war will probably never end.

"I have a way to break them." Shi Xuan suddenly reminded: "They each have a vital point on their bodies. All we need to do is break the spirit stone embedded in their body and we can kill them!"

"Okay, remind me!"

Su Chengzhen used his sword to deflect the five ice swords that were stabbing at him from the side, and the mysterious wind condensed under his feet, leaving an afterimage in an instant.

Following Shi Xuan's precise instructions, he swung out several swords and dodged past, piercing through the chests, eyebrows, waists and abdomens of the three ice puppets. Ice crystal fragments mixed with spiritual energy gushed out like mist.

boom!
The giant axe fell again, brushing against his side face. Su Cheng took advantage of the momentum to stomp on the axe and shake the ground, and his fist, with the sound of thunder, slammed into the ice puppet's breastplate.

There was a crisp sound of cracking, the ice puppet's body broke into pieces, and the prismatic spirit stone rolled onto the ice surface.

He glanced at the battlefield and saw that the ice puppets had stopped moving. He used his sword to pierce the spirit stone on the ground.

"absorb."

Wisps of spiritual light wrapped around the sword edge and gathered into the palm.

Glancing at the increased spiritual energy of the previous year, Su Cheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he grinned playfully. "I wonder how many of these ice puppets there are."

The next moment, he rushed into the formation with his sword in hand, and the sword light shone again.

The cold air brought with it snow particles, and the mountains were covered with white snow.

The vast white fog formed a sky curtain. The monks at the foot of the mountain looked up at the cloud vortex, their pupils fixed.

"I didn't expect the wind and snow in the mountains to become even more ferocious."

A certain casual cultivator hesitated and said, "Could it be that I came at the wrong time?"

"There are indeed some unusual signs." The leading Huangshan elder seemed to be twirling his fingers, his gaze cast downcast. "But the cold tide of the waxing moon is rolling back, a sign that the secret realm is about to be revealed. We can enter the mountain ahead of time to investigate."

But at this moment, he glanced at the young monk who was eager to try, and suddenly slammed his wooden staff: "Don't underestimate this secret place in the mountains!"

The low, cold shout was like thunder, causing everyone present to feel a chill in their hearts.

"The Cang Xing Ying Yue meridian is extremely cold and cannot be resisted by ordinary cultivators. The secret realm set up in the mountains is far more terrifying than you can imagine!"

"If you are extremely confident, you are free to act. But if you want to save your lives, I advise you to act according to the circumstances."

The foot of the mountain suddenly became dead silent, and nearly a hundred monks held their breath and remained silent.

The Huangshan Elder of Lingge was not only quite famous, but also very knowledgeable. Since he had made such a conclusion, naturally no one dared to refute it.

"master."

Three armored female generals stood behind the crowd, protecting the enchanting woman in the center.

Their faces were now slightly solemn, and they whispered, "Is this secret place in the mountains really so dangerous?"

"It's absolutely true." The enchanting woman tightened her velvet hood, revealing only half of her delicate, fair face. Her red lips moved slightly, "A few months ago, more than a dozen cultivators entered the secret realm and were besieged by countless ice puppets. Only one person escaped in a panic."

The female generals were a little surprised: "Are those ice puppets so powerful?"

"I've heard they possess the power of immortality," the enchanting woman whispered, "so we must proceed with caution and never act rashly. Only by rallying all forces can we have a chance of advancing smoothly within the secret realm."

She looked up at the snowy mountains and forests, a flicker of anxiety in her eyes. "I just hope we can truly defeat them."

Chi!
Qing Feng cut off the last half of the ice puppet, and broken ice scattered all over the ground.

Su Cheng sat on the ice hill formed by the remains of the ice puppets, and casually pierced the spirit stone with his sword, completely sucking out the last bit of spiritual energy.

Total absorption of the full moon's cold energy: 89 years

Glancing at the abundant harvest, he happily stretched out his arms and said, "It's done."
