I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Several men kowtowed towards Mingchuan in gratitude.

"Thank you for sparing my life, hero! Thank you for sparing my life!"

After they finished speaking, they got up and ran towards the market town, fearing that Mingchuan would go back on his word.

Zhao Hu looked at the scene and couldn't help shaking his head: "These people are really funny."

Mingchuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry about them, we should go back."

The two had just walked out of the Cold Crystal Valley not far when the already howling cold wind suddenly became stronger. The snow particles scraped on their faces like knives, and even their vision was blocked by the flying snow.

Zhao Hu wrapped his clothes tightly and cursed, "What a horrible weather! It was fine just now, how did it suddenly become so bad?"

Mingchuan frowned.

This is not an ordinary snowstorm. There is a familiar smell of monsters in the wind, which is very similar to the description of the ice beast seen in the mission scroll before!

I originally thought that after this place was occupied by Grandma Ice, the Ice Pattern Beast should no longer exist, but I didn’t expect it to appear now!

Mingchuan was just about to remind Zhao Hu when he saw an ice ridge suddenly rise in the snow ahead.

Immediately afterwards, an ice-blue figure suddenly rushed out from under the snow, staring at them with a pair of scarlet eyes!

"It's the Ice Pattern Beast!" Mingchuan shouted and pulled Zhao Hu to the side to avoid it.

The ice-patterned beast missed its target, and when it landed, the surrounding snow fell to the ground!

It was three meters long, covered with half-foot thick ice armor, and had sharp ice spikes on its claws. It was the high-level monster recorded in the mission scroll!

Zhao Hu's eyes widened instantly. "No way! Didn't that damn old woman take this place for herself? How come there's this thing here?"

As he spoke, he summoned his fire spiritual power, and a blazing flame ignited on his broadsword. "Never mind, since it's delivered to my door, I can test my strength at the late stage of foundation building!"

The Ice Pattern Beast was enraged by Zhao Hu's flames. It roared, waved its claws, and shot three ice spikes towards them.

"You be careful."

After Mingchuan gave a reminder, he took out the Liuyun soft sword. The sword drew a silver arc in the air and split the ice spikes into pieces.

He shouted to Zhao Hu, "This ice beast's weak point is in its abdomen, where its ice armor is thinnest. You distract it while I launch a sneak attack!"

"Okay!" Zhao Hu responded, and rushed towards the ice-patterned beast with a knife in hand. The flaming knife energy chopped towards the ice-patterned beast's head one after another!

The Ice Pattern Beast was forced to raise its head to resist, and its abdomen was instantly exposed.

Mingchuan seized the opportunity, tapped the ground with his toes, and his body was as fast as an arrow. The Liuyun soft sword condensed all the spiritual power in his body and stabbed towards the belly of the ice-patterned beast!

"Puchi——!" The soft sword pierced through the ice armor and penetrated into the body of the ice-patterned beast.

The Ice Pattern Beast let out a shrill roar, turned around and wanted to attack Mingchuan!

Zhao Hu quickly swung his knife at its hind legs, forcing it to retreat and dodge.

Mingchuan took the opportunity to draw out his soft sword, and the blood of the ice-patterned beast gushed out and was instantly frozen into ice chips!

After being seriously injured, the Ice Pattern Beast became even more violent.

It suddenly spewed out a breath of cold air, covering the two of them.

Mingchuan and Zhao Hu quickly retreated. The cold air fell on the ground and instantly condensed into a thick layer of ice. Even the ground was frozen and cracked!

Zhao Hu gasped as he watched the scene. "If this had hit us, the consequences would have been disastrous! This creature is even more formidable than the Ice Thorn Beast that Granny Bing raised!"

Zhao Hu could still feel his fire energy being depleted extremely quickly. "Junior Brother, we must fight quickly. The wind and snow are getting stronger and stronger. If we continue wasting time, we will freeze to death!"

Mingchuan nodded, and a faint purple glow appeared on his fingertips.

I originally wanted to conserve my strength and didn't plan to use these two types of flames.

But now he had to fight quickly and decisively, he had no choice.

Mingchuan flipped his palm and two flames ignited at the same time.

One cluster was his own red-gold flame, with a scorching heat that could burn everything, and the other cluster was a purple phantom flame with a strange halo, wrapped in spiritual fluctuations that could disturb the mind!

"Zhao Hu, lure it again!" Mingchuan shouted softly and put the two flames together with his hands.

The red gold and deep purple intertwined, and instantly burst out with a more dazzling light. Even the surrounding wind and snow were forced back a little by the heat wave, forming a short-term snow-free area!

Zhao Hu was shocked to see Mingchuan's powerful methods.

The wind and snow around here are so strong, but Mingchuan can make it enter a snow-free area for a short time!

"it is good!"

Zhao Hu agreed and rushed forward again with the knife in hand, deliberately slowing down his pace so that the Ice Pattern Beast would think it could pounce on him.

Sure enough, the Ice Pattern Beast roared, raised its front paws, and slapped Zhao Hu with cold air.

Its abdomen was completely exposed again, and the wound was still bleeding!

Mingchuan saw the opportunity and flicked his wrist. The intertwined two-colored flames turned into a long whip, carrying a whistling heat wave, and lashed straight towards the abdominal wound of the ice-patterned beast!

As soon as the fire whip touched the ice armor, it made a "sizzling" sound.

The purple phantom flame instantly penetrated into the wound, and the red-gold flame burned into the wound. The cold air in the ice-patterned beast's body collided with the flame, and a sound similar to thunder was emitted!

"Roar--!"

The Ice-Patterned Beast twitched in pain, its huge body rolling in the snow, its claws slapping the ground randomly, stirring up snow and fog all over the sky.

But the purple phantom flame had already entangled its spiritual energy veins, making it difficult for it to even condense the cold air.

The scorching red-gold flames burned its internal organs, and every time it rolled over, its breath became weaker!

Zhao Hu gasped.

Even though this guy's strength has greatly decreased now, the shockwaves he creates are still shocking.

No wonder the previous waves of monks all died tragically at its hands.

But how did Grandma Bing manage to steal its nest?

Now is not the time to dwell on this.

Zhao Hu took the opportunity to go around behind the ice-patterned beast and injected all his remaining spiritual power into the broadsword. The flaming blade energy became three times thicker than before.

"Junior brother, let me deliver the final blow!"

As he spoke, he leaped up and slashed at the ice beast's neck with a knife.

Although it was covered with ice armor, it had already become fragile after being consumed by the two-colored flames!

"Crack!"

The sword energy split the ice armor and cut deep into the bones.

The Ice Pattern Beast let out a final hoarse roar before its massive body collapsed to the ground.

The scarlet eyes gradually lost their luster, and the wound on the abdomen was still emitting red and white hot steam, which was the residual heat of the blazing fire.

Mingchuan retracted the flame and breathed a long sigh of relief. His palms were flushed red due to excessive stimulation of the two-colored flame.

Zhao Hu also slumped down on the snow, gasping for breath. "Good boy... I really need you to help me, otherwise I'm afraid I would have died here today."

Mingchuan smiled.

He walked to the corpse of the ice-patterned beast, cut open its abdomen with the Liuyun soft sword, and took out a light blue inner elixir the size of a fist.

There is still some coldness left in the inner elixir, which is a good material for refining ice-based magic weapons.

"I got the Cold Marrow Crystal required for the mission, and also got an Ice Patterned Beast Inner Core. I'm a winner this time!"

Zhao Hu came over, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the inner elixir. "We'll definitely get a lot of contribution points when we get back to report to the sect!"
