194: Chapter 194: One Against Three

After bidding farewell to Old Liu, Xiao Ran's figure transformed into a streak of black light, weaving through the Yao King's Domain.

Generally speaking, the Domain of a Void Refinement Stage expert exerts a suppressive effect on enemies within it; for instance, the Domain jointly set up by the three Yao Kings here has a very strong suppressive effect on the Human Race.

So much so that the strength of veteran Yao hunters like Old Liu and his group has been suppressed, forcing them to retreat steadily under the attacks of the Yao Beasts.

They are even unable to use certain secret techniques and Magical Artifacts.

However, this suppressive effect does not manifest on Xiao Ran at all.

This is because Xiao Ran has a specialized expert backing him.

The Legacy of Venerable Powang flickered constantly in his mind, guiding him to avoid spatial turbulence and dash toward the area where spiritual energy fluctuations were most intense.

That was the most brutal part of the battlefield.

Xiao Ran's speed was extremely fast, for he could already sense the pressure Li Changsheng and the others were under.

A streak of black light flashed by at high speed; the air was permeated with a thick stench of blood, and the ground was littered with the corpses of the Human Race and the Yao Race.

Some had been frozen into ice sculptures, some burned to charcoal, and others torn into fragments.

Fresh blood gathered into streams, winding and flowing across the wilderness.

Xiao Ran's heart sank, and he accelerated once more.

Meanwhile.

In the center of the battlefield, Su Qinghan was engaged in a fierce battle with a group of Yao Beasts.

Her white clothes were like snow, and her long sword was like frost.

With every sword strike, several Yao Beasts were frozen into ice sculptures.

The cold Qi of the Mystic Yin Returning Essence Body enveloped a radius of a hundred zhang; wherever it passed, a thick layer of frost condensed on the ground.

Her sword momentum was fierce, with every strike targeting the vital points of the Yao Beasts.

She was venting.

The current scene was perfectly in line with her original intention for coming here: to use slaughter to suppress her Heart Demon.

At this moment, a Yao Wolf at the Early Stage of Spirit Severing lunged forward, opening its mouth to spew a stream of black flames.

Instead of retreating, Su Qinghan advanced, holding her long sword horizontally before her as the cold Qi condensed into an ice wall to block the flames.

The ice wall shattered, and the flames were extinguished.

Her sword had already pierced through the Yao Wolf's skull.

The Yao Wolf fell to the ground, and blood splattered onto her white robes like blooming red plum blossoms.

Without pausing, she turned and with one sword strike, sliced a lunging Yao Python in two.

Seeing this, the surrounding Loose Cultivators were greatly encouraged.

"Kill! Follow this Fairy and kill!"

A middle-aged Loose Cultivator roared, swinging his sword at the Yao Beasts beside him.

"Avenge our Master!"

The young female Cultivator, eyes red, stabbed at the Yao Beasts with sword strike after sword strike.

Although her cultivation level was not high, she was fearless of death.

Su Qinghan's presence was like a banner, attracting all the Human Race Cultivators to rally around her.

But this also attracted the attention of the strong experts of the Yao Race.

In the distance, three Yao Venerables at the Soul Transformation Stage were staring at Su Qinghan.

The one leading them was an entirely pitch-black Yao Tiger.

It was three zhang long, its body covered in dark black scales, and its entire Yao body exuded a tyrannical aura.

Shadow Tiger Venerable, Middle Stage, specialized in fierce attacks.

To its left was an entirely crimson Yao Lion, its mane burning like fire, its four hooves treading on raging flames.

Red Flame Lion Venerable, Middle Stage, specialized in fire-type Spells.

To its right was an entirely emerald-green Yao Snake, ten zhang long, its scales covered in emerald patterns, exuding a cold aura.

Bilyin Snake Venerable, Middle Stage, specialized in poison-type attacks.

The three Yao Venerables were currently staring at Su Qinghan, their eyes filled with killing intent.

"That Human Race woman has killed quite a few of our clansmen."

"If the Great King finds out, we will be in deep trouble."

Shadow Tiger Venerable said in a deep voice.

Red Flame Lion Venerable snorted coldly.

"What else can we do? The higher-ranked Yao Venerables are all being held back by other Human Race Cultivators."

"Furthermore, this woman's cold Qi is very powerful; my flames are suppressed by her."

Bilyin Snake Venerable hissed, "My poison mist cannot get close to her either; her cold Qi can freeze toxins."

Shadow Tiger Venerable thought for a moment.

"If one cannot beat her, can we not beat her if the three of us attack together?"

"I will be responsible for the main attack, and you two provide support from the side."

"Although her cold Qi is powerful, there will always be a time when it is exhausted."

Red Flame Lion Venerable and Bilyin Snake Venerable nodded.

The three Yao Venerables turned into three streaks of light and lunged toward Su Qinghan.

Su Qinghan was in the midst of slaying a Yao Beast when she suddenly felt three powerful auras lock onto her.

She looked up and just happened to see the three Soul Transformation Stage Yao Venerables rushing toward her.

Her expression remained unchanged as she gripped her sword tightly.

"Finally, some decent opponents have arrived."

She took a step forward, meeting the three Yao Venerables.

Shadow Tiger Venerable was the fastest; it appeared instantly before Su Qinghan and struck down with a claw.

The power of shadow surged on its claw, and the space where it passed became dim.

Su Qinghan held her long sword horizontally before her, and the cold Qi condensed into an ice shield.

The claw struck the ice shield, the ice shield shattered, and Su Qinghan retreated several steps.

Shadow Tiger Venerable was also frozen by the cold Qi until its claw went numb, and it hurriedly retreated.

Red Flame Lion Venerable seized the opportunity to lunge forward, opening its mouth to spew a pillar of fire.

The pillar of fire contained the Law of Fire and had an extremely high temperature; the air where it passed was scorched and distorted.

Su Qinghan raised her hand, and the cold Qi condensed into an ice wall to block the pillar of fire.

The ice wall melted, and the pillar of fire was extinguished.

Ice can overcome fire; this showed that Su Qinghan's strength was far above that of the Red Flame Lion Venerable.

Red Flame Lion Venerable failed in its strike and hurriedly retreated.

Bilyin Snake Venerable launched a sneak attack from the side, opening its mouth to spew a stream of green poison mist.

The poison mist contained the Law of Poison, and wherever it passed, the ground was corroded into deep pits.

Su Qinghan dodged, but the poison mist spread too quickly, and her left arm was tainted by it.

Her sleeve was corroded instantly, and black markings appeared on her skin.

She let out a muffled groan and hurriedly circulated the cold Qi of the Mystic Yin Returning Essence Body to freeze the toxins in her left arm, preventing them from spreading.

Take advantage of her vulnerability.

Shadow Tiger Venerable lunged again, striking at her skull with a claw.

Su Qinghan gritted her teeth and, disregarding her injury, thrust her sword at Shadow Tiger Venerable's throat.

Shadow Tiger Venerable dodged to the side, but its claw grazed her shoulder, leaving three deep bloody gashes.

Su Qinghan retreated several steps, gasping for breath.

She was struggling to fight three opponents on her own, let alone being injured in her left arm by the poison mist.

Blood dripped from her shoulder, staining her white robes red.

Shadow Tiger Venerable looked at her and sneered.

"Human Race woman, you are not our match."

"Submit to death obediently, and you might suffer less."

Su Qinghan looked up at him, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "Too much chatter."

She stood up, grasped the sword blade with her left hand, and slashed forcefully.

Blood flowed from her palm and dripped onto the sword blade.

The sword blade absorbed the blood and erupted with a blinding white light.

The cold Qi of the Mystic Yin Returning Essence Body surged violently; centered on her, the ground within a radius of a hundred zhang froze instantly, and even the water vapor in the air condensed into ice crystals.

"Forbidden Technique: Mystic Yin Ice Seal!"
