Chapter 74 The Second Place on the Gold List Revealed! Jingliu!
Qingque covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, looking like she was enjoying the show.
"You... you scoundrel!"
Ice Empress was filled with shame and indignation, clutching her collar tightly with both hands.
But under Jing Yuan's ambiguous gaze, she didn't want to admit that she couldn't afford to lose.
"Fine, I'll take it off!"
"Anyway... there's still some inside!"
With trembling hands, the girl untied the ribbon of her outermost emerald green skirt.
Her clothes slipped down, revealing an even more form-fitting silk garment underneath, outlining her breathtaking curves.
Jing Yuan rested his chin on one hand, his gaze filled with pure appreciation.
"Good."
"With ice and snow as skin and jade as bones, she truly deserves to be the empress of the far north."
"Let's start the next round."
"If we lose again this time..."
Jing Yuan lowered his voice, which carried a seductive quality that made people want to fall into his trap.
"It's not just a simple coat."
Looking into those golden eyes that seemed to see right through people, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress felt a surge of heat throughout their bodies.
This is not a card game at all.
This is clearly playing with fire!
But the feeling of danger and excitement was something they simply couldn't resist.
"Come on, come on!"
"This time I'm going to win all your clothes!"
Ice Empress gritted her teeth and began shuffling the deck again.
Above Jialing Pass, the scroll of the imperial edict is displayed in a dazzling display.
In the center of the painting, a long sword slowly emerges.
The sword is not made of metal; it is translucent, like ancient ice formed over millennia, with a cool, moonlit glow flowing across it.
Before the sword was even drawn, the surrounding void had already frozen, cracking open with fine black fissures.
The large golden characters slowly took shape amidst the frost-covered sky.
[Second Place on the Martial Soul Ranking]
[Boundless Ice Prison Sword]
[Affiliation: Luofu Immortal Ship, Jingliu]
[Reward: Soul Power level increased by ten levels, a divinely bestowed Soul Ring granted, inner demons purified, the hidden danger of "Demonic Body" eradicated, and the "Moonlit Death Realm" domain obtained.]
...
Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.
A thick layer of ice had formed on the calm lake surface.
Di Tian stood by the lake, his pupils contracting sharply as he stared at the sword in the sky.
As the strongest ferocious beast in the world, he could clearly sense the terrifying sword intent emanating from the painting.
It was a sharp edge born purely for killing.
"My lord..."
Di Tian's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"The quality of this sword seems to be beyond our comprehension."
Gu Yuena's purple eyes darted around, reflecting the shadow of that cold sword.
She gently shook her head.
"It's more than just beyond our comprehension."
"The Asura Demon Sword in the hands of the Asura God back then was the master of killing and was known as the number one offensive weapon in the divine realm."
"But compared to this Boundless Ice Prison Sword, the Asura Demon Sword is far too fierce."
"This sword has already touched the edge of the 'Dao'."
Bi Ji clutched her chest; as an Emerald Swan, she was most sensitive to this extreme aura of killing intent.
"It's the Luofu Immortal Ship again..."
"Fifth place is the Rebirth Seal, sixth place is Di Yuan Qiong Yu, third place is the Taiyi Eternal Treasure Formation Diagram, and now the second place is also one of theirs."
"Where did this force come from?"
Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment, then turned her gaze to the first place position that had not yet been announced.
"Second place is already like this."
"And what kind of person must be at the top of the list?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be General Jing Yuan, the master of Luofu."
In this world, besides the leader who commands these monsters, who else has the right to be above Jingliu?
...
Outside Jialing Pass, the main camp of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Shrek Seven Devils gathered outside the main tent, their faces ashen.
Tang San stared intently at the sky.
His right hand unconsciously gripped the Trident of Poseidon, while the patterns on the Clear Sky Hammer flickered in and out of his left palm.
We lost.
We lost completely.
Whether it's the weight, the sharpness, or that despairing atmosphere.
Whether it's the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one weapon martial soul in the world, or the trident, a divine artifact bestowed by the Sea God, they are as laughable as a wooden stick in a child's hand in front of that ice sword.
"Jingliu..."
Dai Mubai's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.
"The murderous aura emanating from this woman sent chills down my spine, even through the painting."
"If her true form were to descend, she could probably cleave Jialing Pass in two with a single sword strike."
Oscar gave a wry smile and reached up to touch his face.
"Our so-called Shrek Seven Devils are nothing compared to the Luofu Immortal Ship."
"Any one of them could easily defeat our entire team."
Amidst the crowd, a strange light flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's cool eyes.
She has always admired the strong.
The power displayed by the Luofu Immortal Ship is mysterious, powerful, and full of high-level aura.
It's not just about accumulating soul power, but also about mastering the rules.
Ning Rongrong, also filled with longing, held Zhu Zhuqing's hand and whispered:
"Zhuqing, what exactly do you think is on that Luofu Immortal Ship?"
"How can there be so many extraordinary people?"
"If only I could go up there and take a look, even if I were just a maid serving tea and water, I might be able to learn some unparalleled secrets."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression turned even more unpleasant.
He turned around and walked towards the perimeter of the camp without saying a word.
The feeling of being completely crushed left him with a burning, nameless anger.
...
Patrol lines outside the camp.
A burly figure stood alone on the high hill.
Tang Hao was wearing a tattered black robe, his hair flying wildly.
He held a wine jug in his hand, tilted his head back and took a swig of strong liquor, his eyes somewhat cloudy as he looked at the sky.
"Second place..."
"Boundless Ice Prison Sword."
Tang Hao gave a self-deprecating laugh and smashed the wine pot hard on the ground.
"I've practiced with a hammer my whole life, and I consider myself to have unparalleled strength."
"Seeing you today, I realize I've been living in a well and looking at the sky from the bottom of a well."
"The true depths of this Luofu Immortal Ship are unfathomable."
"Jingliu... If I have the chance, I'd really like to experience whether her sword is sharper or my hammer is harder."
Just then.
Two figures emerged slowly from the woods ahead.
Walking in front was a delicate, pink-haired girl, not very tall, but with her hands behind her back, her chin slightly raised, and an innate arrogance between her brows.
Following behind her was a little girl clutching a large tail, looking timid and hesitant, her neck hunched as she peered around like a frightened rabbit.
It was Fu Xuan and Huo Huo.
Tang Hao's eyes narrowed.
There was no fluctuation of soul power on either of them.
But his intuition told him it was extremely dangerous.
Especially the pink-haired girl walking in front, every step she took seemed to be measuring this world.
"Stop."
Tang Hao shouted in a deep voice, his powerful voice booming like muffled thunder.
"This is a key area of the Heaven Dou Camp. All unauthorized personnel, please leave immediately."
Fu Xuan didn't stop walking; she merely glanced at Tang Hao indifferently.
"Unauthorized personnel?"
She chuckled softly, her dignified eyes sparkling.
"My purpose in coming here is specifically to find the successor of the Sea God."
