Chapter 467: The Severely Injured Ice Empress
"Who?!"
The sudden sound of a human voice beside her ear made the Ice Empress immediately bristle, even though, as a scorpion, she did not actually have fur.
The Ice Empress quickly became vigilant. Her five segmented emerald green tail hook swept out in preparation, and as she swung her body around, she saw the two figures that had just appeared beside her.
However, in the Ice Empress's perception, only one of the two figures was human. The other figure was a Vicious Beast, just like her.
The human was naturally Yu Tianlin, and the Vicious Beast was Bi Ji.
At this moment, Yu Tianlin was looking at the Ice Empress with amusement, while Bi Ji's eyes were filled with curiosity.
Speaking of which, this was Bi Ji's first time seeing a Vicious Beast other than herself, especially here in the Extreme North. She was naturally curious.
Seeing the Ice Empress react so strongly, Yu Tianlin could not help shaking his head and smiling.
"Ice Empress, I wonder if you still remember me?"
"It's you?!"
The Ice Empress was startled by Yu Tianlin's words, but she immediately reacted.
Although her main opponent at the time had been Gold Crocodile Douluo, her impression of Yu Tianlin was also extremely deep.
"Human! How dare you appear before me again?!"
The Ice Empress, recognizing Yu Tianlin, immediately flew into a rage. She completely ignored the fact that Yu Tianlin and Bi Ji had managed to appear silently beside her, and waving her massive pincers, she charged forward.
The Ice Jade Scorpion was renowned throughout the entire Spirit Beast world and possessed considerable fighting power, especially its pair of giant pincers.
Not only was their strength astonishing, but being caught by them basically guaranteed death.
Even ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions were formidable, let alone the Ice Empress, the monarch of the Ice Jade Scorpion species.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong the Ice Empress was, she was no longer a match for Yu Tianlin, especially since her injuries had not yet healed.
Since he needed to talk to the Ice Empress later, Yu Tianlin did not use his Divine Rank mental force to make her fall unconscious.
Instead, he stretched both hands forward, transformed them into dragon claws, and easily blocked the Ice Empress's pair of giant pincers.
"How is that possible?!"
Having her attack easily blocked made the Ice Empress feel somewhat incredulous.
It seemed that only a short while ago, this human could only flee when facing her, needing a senior to step forward and block her.
But how much time had passed?
How had he become this powerful?
Yu Tianlin did not know what the Ice Empress was thinking.
After catching her giant pincers with his dragon claws, he immediately flipped over and landed on the Ice Empress's back. One foot pinned down her five segmented emerald green tail hook, while the other stepped on her head, preventing her from moving even an inch.
Although her body was suppressed and unable to move, the Ice Empress did not give up struggling.
Terrifying coldness surged, ready to erupt from her body and freeze Yu Tianlin into a block of ice.
However, this action of hers was still interrupted by Yu Tianlin.
Brilliant golden lightning erupted, flowing directly from Yu Tianlin's legs into the Ice Empress's body. Her entire body spasmed uncontrollably, and the coldness she had just gathered dissipated.
With Yu Tianlin's current Divine Rank mental force, it was not difficult for him to perfectly maintain control over the lightning. He could prevent the Ice Empress from moving or mobilizing the ice power within her body, all without injuring her.
"Now, can we have a proper talk?"
After completely subduing the Ice Empress, Yu Tianlin continued speaking.
"H-Human!"
The Ice Empress was trembling slightly from the electricity.
"You are indeed stronger than me. Do what you will, kill me or torture me. I... I absolutely will not beg you for mercy."
"And the Snow Empress, the Snow Empress will definitely avenge me!"
Hearing the Ice Empress say this, Yu Tianlin remained silent for a moment before saying, "Who said I wanted to kill you? Also, how did you get such severe injuries?"
"You won't kill me?"
The Ice Empress was surprised for a second, but still retorted angrily, "Save your false kindness! My injuries were caused by that senior of yours."
"My senior? Are you referring to Gold Crocodile Douluo?"
Yu Tianlin immediately knew who the Ice Empress was talking about and said speechlessly, "You were actually injured this badly by him?"
Speaking of that day, after he dealt with Thousand Jun Douluo, he had immediately retreated quickly.
He truly did not know the outcome of the battle between Gold Crocodile Douluo and the Ice Empress.
However, given the Ice Empress's strength, even if she could not defeat Gold Crocodile Douluo, retreating safely should have been possible.
Yet she had sustained such severe injuries. This showed that she must have lost her temper at the time and fought Gold Crocodile Douluo to the death.
"Bi Ji, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to treat the Ice Empress's injuries."
Although the Ice Empress was not strictly essential to Yu Tianlin's future plans, having her involved would definitely improve the situation.
Therefore, Yu Tianlin could not stand by while the Ice Empress was severely injured.
If she could be treated, he should treat her.
In response to Yu Tianlin's request, Bi Ji immediately nodded in agreement.
She walked forward, placed her hands on the Ice Empress's body, and a cluster of emerald green light filled with life force instantly enveloped the Ice Empress.
Enveloped by the green light, the Ice Empress immediately noticed that her injuries were rapidly healing at a visible speed.
"You are the Emerald Swan?"
The Ice Empress pondered briefly and, based on the healing effect, figured out Bi Ji's identity. She then said gratefully, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
Bi Ji nodded and smiled.
"Just call me Bi Ji."
Professional matters should be left to professional beings.
Although Yu Tianlin was the strongest present, when it came to healing, he truly was inferior to Bi Ji.
Under Bi Ji's treatment, the Ice Empress's injuries quickly recovered completely.
The injuries that had plagued her were finally healed, which made the Ice Empress breathe a sigh of relief, and her attitude softened considerably.
Seeing the Ice Empress's attitude relax, Yu Tianlin also lifted his suppression and jumped off her back.
"Human."
Staring directly at Yu Tianlin, the Ice Empress asked, "You defeated me but didn't kill me. What exactly do you want to do here in the Extreme North?"
Yu Tianlin did not answer the Ice Empress's question directly.
Instead, he said, "First, take me to see the Snow Empress. I didn't come to the Extreme North just for you. I also need to find the Snow Empress. I will tell both of you once we meet her."
"You want to see the Snow Empress?"
The Ice Empress was stunned, then sneered.
"Human, you don't think that just because you can defeat me, you can also defeat the Snow Empress, do you? The Snow Empress is not like me. She is much stronger than I am."
"I naturally understand the Snow Empress's strength," Yu Tianlin said. "She is known as the unrivaled existence of the Extreme North, correct?"
"However, I believe I am also unrivaled, and unlike the Snow Empress, I am not confined only to the Extreme North."
Hearing Yu Tianlin say this, the Ice Empress instinctively wanted to mock him, but the words died in her throat.
Even the Snow Empress might not be able to subdue her so easily, yet this human in front of her had managed to do it.
With such strength, calling himself unrivaled did not seem excessive.
