Chapter 94

**Boom!**

A massive explosion echoed, and the ice beast's huge body was hurled away, flattening a patch of shrubs and shattering two stone peaks. Jiang Yi's body was also thrown back by the shockwave.

*Crack, crack, crack!*

Jiang Yi's entire body trembled uncontrollably, his teeth chattering. He curled up, clearly frostbitten, with a layer of frost on his eyebrows and lips, his face pale and ghastly.

"Master Jiang!"

Qian Fu and the others hurried over, but before they could get close to Jiang Yi, their attention was drawn by a roar in the distance!

*Roar!*

The ice beast let out a wild howl, the fresh blood on its skin instantly freezing. Its icy eyes were filled with rage as it scanned the area and charged at everyone.

"Kill!"

Qian Fu sighed heavily. The ice beast was so fast, and since it had locked onto them, it wouldn't stop until everyone was dead. It was better to fight than to be killed one by one. Even if they couldn't kill the ice beast, if they could just buy some time, the academy's patrol team might arrive, giving them a chance to survive.

"Fall back and use the crossbows to attack."

After Jiang Yi's attack, Su Ruoxue's body had recovered somewhat. She glanced at Jiang Yi on the ground, her face filled with killing intent. She raised her sword and, like a beautiful butterfly, leaped forward to attack the ice beast again.

Qian Fu and the others immediately stood their ground, loading their crossbows and looking for an opportunity to shoot. However, the ice beast seemed to sense something and began to move rapidly, not allowing Su Ruoxue to get close. It continuously spewed cold air and ice arrows, making it difficult for Su Ruoxue to find an opening. Her speed gradually slowed due to the cold air.

"Fire!"

Seeing that this wasn't working, Qian Fu gritted his teeth and shouted. Everyone aimed and activated their crossbows, five black arrows shooting through the air.

*Whizz!*

Unfortunately, the ice beast seemed to have anticipated this, quickly dodging the arrows. In the same instant, it turned and charged at them.

*Bang!*

Qian Fu saw Jiang Yi still trembling on the ground. With a determined heart, he kicked Jiang Yi away and drew his sword, charging at the ice beast.

*Whoosh!*

The ice beast's mouth spewed ice arrows relentlessly, and in an instant, seven or eight ice arrows shot out. The others were only at the seventh or eighth level of the Foundry Realm, while Qian Fu was at the ninth level. Except for Qian Fu, the others couldn't dodge and were hit by the ice arrows. Fortunately, the ice beast was still far away, and they managed to avoid the vital spots!

*Huff, huff!*

The ice beast quickly approached and spewed a huge burst of cold air. Except for Qian Fu, who managed to escape, the others, already injured, reacted even more slowly and were instantly frozen into ice statues, their fates unknown...

"Ah, I'll kill you, you beast!"

Qian Fu's eyes turned red with rage. Seeing his brothers frozen into ice statues, he went berserk. His sword glowed blue as he charged at the ice beast.

"Qian Fu, retreat!"

Su Ruoxue's face was as dark as a storm cloud. Her students had been killed by the ice beast, and even if the academy didn't investigate, she couldn't live with herself. Although the appearance of the ice beast was strange, it was still her fault.

But Qian Fu, in his rage, ignored Su Ruoxue's reprimand and charged at the ice beast. Before he could get close, the ice beast spewed a burst of cold air, and he was frozen into an ice statue.

"Qian Fu—"

Jiang Yi's body still trembled, and he struggled to stand up but fell to the ground each time. He saw everything clearly. Although Qian Fu and the others were Qian Wanguan's subordinates, they had taken good care of him during this time, arranging his meals every day. After so long, even a dog would have developed feelings. Seeing them in such a dire situation, his heart burned with urgency, and he felt responsible for their predicament. If he hadn't insisted on coming, they wouldn't have been in this situation...

*Roar!*

The ice beast, sensing Su Ruoxue's overwhelming killing intent, turned to see her sword flashing like lightning. It spewed a burst of cold air and leaped away, resuming its hit-and-run tactics.

This ice beast was a high-level second-stage demonic beast, and its cold air was a nightmare for martial artists. If one wasn't powerful enough to break through the cold air and kill it in one strike, once the cold air invaded, the martial artist's speed and reaction time would gradually slow, eventually leading to their death.

Clearly, Su Ruoxue didn't have the power to kill the ice beast in one strike. Despite her rage and desperate efforts, her body was invaded by the cold air, and her speed and reaction time were far from their peak. Without reinforcements, her fate would not be pleasant...

The strangest part was that despite the ice beast's powerful aura and the fact that the students had already descended the mountain, there should have been a patrol team nearby. But even now, there was no sign of reinforcements.

Soon!

Su Ruoxue's speed slowed, and the cold air invaded her body more and more. Finally, an ice arrow from the ice beast hit her abdomen, and she was thrown back, crashing into a stone peak. She struggled to stand up, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and with all her strength, she shouted, "Jiang Yi, run!"

"Teacher Su..."

Jiang Yi was also in despair. He saw the ice beast charging at Su Ruoxue, its mouth wide open, clearly preparing to devour her. He closed his eyes helplessly!

The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the patrol team still hadn't arrived. This was a desolate area, and no strong martial artists would pass by. Even if the students rushed to the academy for help, by the time the academy's experts arrived, they would already be the ice beast's meal...

No! I can't die. Little Nu is still waiting for a healer to save her. Mother is waiting for me to seek justice from Jiang Bie Li. How can I die so easily?

Jiang Yi shook his head, his eyes suddenly opening. He stared intently at the ice beast, and a killing intent began to rise from his body, growing stronger and stronger. His eyes gradually turned red, finally becoming bloodshot!

Just like the eyes of the Heavenly Tyrant of Slaughter, red and terrifying!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

He suddenly shouted, standing up. His body, which had been trembling, stopped shaking. He took large steps toward the ice beast, and with each step, the killing intent grew stronger, eventually enveloping a radius of several miles.

And even more bizarrely—

The ice beast, now only ten feet away from Su Ruoxue, could have easily swallowed her. But at this moment, it stopped, its icy eyes filled with fear as it trembled and finally lay down, not daring to move...

"Huh?"

Su Ruoxue had already closed her eyes, waiting for death. She felt the ice beast's presence and the scent of death, but the ice beast suddenly stopped. She opened her eyes instinctively and saw the ice beast's strange behavior, feeling a killing intent even more terrifying than the ice beast's cold air.

When she followed the ice beast's gaze, she saw a pair of blood-red eyes. She paused, her beautiful eyes narrowing in shock, "This, this... Could it be the legendary True Intent of Slaughter? Jiang Yi actually comprehended it?"
