Chapter 702 221: The Heroes' Return—Twin Beauties Weep for Shi Feiyang (Part 3)
Kang Fusheng's face turned deathly pale like paper, as if the blood had been drained, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, which quickly froze into ice in the cold air, resembling sparkling pearls yet exuding endless chill.
His lips trembled, his voice quivering as he said, "Hurry, if we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
Xiang Yushan and Lv Yuan looked equally disturbed, their eyes filled with fear and despair, fully aware that Shi Feiyang's martial arts had reached a terrifying level, one that they could by no means withstand.
The three dared not delay for even a moment, utilizing every ounce of their strength to flee desperately in the icy, snowy landscape. Their figures gradually vanished amidst the swirling snow, leaving behind only chaos and the ice-bound Jinyi Guards as testaments to this breathtaking battle.
Shi Feiyang and his comrades had barely broken free from their prison, believing they had found a chance at life in this wintry world.
However, just as they paused briefly to catch their breath and prepare to withdraw, a muffled "rumble" suddenly emanated from the previously ice-sealed ground of the Celestial Prison, as if an ancient beast was awakening beneath.
Everyone's faces changed drastically, vigilantly scanning their surroundings. Cracks began to appear on the ground, rapidly spreading, with cold air spewing out of the fissures, bearing a pungent scent.
Soon, sharp ice spikes slowly rose out of those cracks, their crystalline transparency radiating deadly cold light.
These ice spikes grew with astonishing speed, in the blink of an eye densely covering the entire ground of the Celestial Prison, completely sealing off the retreat of everyone. Meanwhile, the snow that had originally been icebound upon the Celestial Prison's top, stirred by some mysterious force, began to fall, creating a terrifying avalanche. Snow flowed like a tumultuous white tide, sweeping towards the crowd.
Shi Feiyang's expression was solemn as he loudly shouted, "Brothers, form a circle and protect each other!" Following his command, the heroes quickly positioned themselves back-to-back in a tight circle, gripping their weapons vigilantly.
Shi Feiyang once again utilized the "Bright Jade Technique," attempting to repel this sudden snow and ice attack with his inner strength.
However, the avalanche's power was overwhelming, with snow constantly crashing down on them, causing their bodies to slowly sink into the icy snowdrift. As Kang Fusheng, Xiang Yushan, and Lv Yuan fled, they suddenly heard a loud noise echoing behind them.
They halted, gazing back to find the direction of the Celestial Prison shrouded in a white mist, faintly visible were the ice spikes soaring upward and the surging snow flow. A trace of delight flashed in Xiang Yushan's eyes as he remarked, "Who knows, maybe Shi Feiyang and his group have been buried alive!"
Lv Yuan, however, furrowed his brow, his face full of worry as he said, "If that's true, it would save us trouble, but I feel things aren't that simple."
Kang Fusheng gritted his teeth, saying, "Regardless, let's head back and get help. If they are still alive, we absolutely can't let them escape!"
The three turned around, quickening their pace as they dashed forward.
Meanwhile, inside the Celestial Prison, Shi Feiyang was resisting the avalanche's impact while observing the surroundings.
He realized that the ice spikes seemed to be controlled by some force, continuously advancing towards their location.
The ice spikes clattered as they collided, sounding particularly eerie in this icy realm.
Shi Feiyang cursed inwardly; now facing both the avalanche and the ice spikes, their stamina was rapidly depleting, making it difficult to hold on. At this moment, Liao Pei, exhausted from enduring the pressure of the snow for so long, weakened and nearly fell.
Lie Quan quickly supported him, anxiously saying, "Brother Liao, hold on!" Liao Pei's face was pale as he gasped heavily, saying, "I... I can still manage."
Xiao Lingling clung tightly to Wu Zhong's side; despite Wu Zhong's unhealed injuries, he persevered, shielding Xiao Lingling from the falling snow. His eyes were filled with worry, not only for his and the group's safety but also for Xiao Lingling's plight.
The snow flow grew heavier, now reaching the crowd's waist, making their movement increasingly difficult.
Shi Feiyang made a firm decision to take a gamble.
He took a deep breath, pushing both "Bright Jade Technique" and "Divine Dragon Claw Divine Technique" to their utmost, his body cloaked in a strong radiance that shattered the snow and ice spikes in its reach.
The heroes felt a pang as they witnessed this.
However, the ice spikes seemed to slow their advance somewhat.
Seizing the opportunity, the group supported each other, laboriously moving towards the Celestial Prison's exit.
Just as they were about to reach the exit, a massive ice wall suddenly rose from the ground, blocking their path.
The ice wall towered into the sky, its surface smooth as glass, impossible to climb. Shi Feiyang gazed at the ice wall, a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
His Celestial Frost Blade shimmered with cold light as he swung fiercely at the ice wall. With a "bang," only a shallow crack appeared, leaving the wall unbroken. The group's despair deepened as they were surrounded by snow and ice spikes, with the ice wall obstructing them ahead, the shadow of death hovering once more overhead.
Just as the group stared at the tall ice wall, hearts full of despair, Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, raising his Celestial Frost Blade high again, unleashing all his strength towards the wall.
With an ear-splitting roar, the Celestial Frost Blade shot forth with powerful blade energy, tearing the air in its path. With a "boom," the ice wall manifested a massive crack under the mighty attack, ice shards flew, resembling a storm of ice.
