Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 939: Let There Be Purity!

When Yun Xiao called out, the icy cave remained deathly silent; no one responded for a long time. But he knew she was in there!

Her aura, her presence, her current ferocity had reached an extreme level, like an icy mountain pressing down on his head. The chilling cold seeped into his body through his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, freezing his blood and chilling his organs.

It felt as if a ferocious beast was glaring at him—like the calm before the storm.

Yun Xiao took a deep breath. He knew he had to face this bravely—it was his duty as a man. Regardless of the outcome, since he had done this, he needed to take responsibility.

So, braving the freezing of his body, he forced himself to move forward, re-entering that cave which, in his memories, was filled with pink hues and romantic allure.

His footsteps crunched on the ground. The cave walls were covered in ice and snow. Deeper inside, snowflakes whirled wildly, cold mist surged, emitting eerie howls that sent shivers down one's spine.

Yun Xiao pressed forward against the wind and snow, his entire body coated in frost; even his hair was frozen.

Though it became increasingly difficult, he persevered. Finally, he took one last step. After entering the cave, his view suddenly opened up—a frigid space with walls of pink and white ice appeared before him.

Amidst the swirling pink and white snowflakes, a breathtakingly beautiful woman naturally stood out the most.

Her white hair flowed like a crystalline waterfall; her pink eyes were bright and clear. The more expressionless she appeared, the colder she seemed. Beneath her jewel-adorned gown, a snake tail with pink and white scales coiled in the air, exuding isolation and chill.

Yun Xiao had seen many beauties, but Si Ji was among the most perfect in terms of appearance. A goddess-like face paired with a snake tail—a symbol of taboo and temptation—this contrast formed an irresistible allure that quickened one's heartbeat.

Of course, Yun Xiao was currently in no mood to appreciate such peerless beauty. As soon as he stepped into the icy cave, a suppressed, murderous fury locked onto him.

He wasn't sure if she had reached the level of a Boundless Immortal, but she was undoubtedly much stronger than before!

In this confined space, the two were like a giant serpent facing a helpless rabbit. The pink-and-white serpent bared its fangs, flicking its tongue; icy venom dripped from its teeth...

Yun Xiao could only shiver in fear.

"Si Ji..." He braced himself, intending to apologize. But just as he uttered those two words, his tongue and throat were sealed in ice!

So, she couldn't even stand to hear his voice? Did she truly find Yun Xiao's deception unforgivable, or was she just discarding him now that he'd served his purpose?

Yun Xiao hadn't had time to figure it out when Si Ji appeared right before him, her icy aura crashing over him like a tidal wave!

He was instantly frozen solid, feeling as if he'd become an immobile snowman; even his blood had stopped flowing, his body covered in snowflakes. In such extreme cold, even his... well, everything had shrunk from the freeze!

The pink-white ice blade shot forth with lightning speed, utterly decisive and without a hint of hesitation, slicing toward Yun Xiao's most treasured part. This critical, suffocating moment was more unbearable than death!

Her resolve was absolute!

At that moment, she closed her eyes, perhaps showing a trace of regret. After all, recalling the sensation of that bliss, it was probably 100 times more fulfilling than anything else in life. She still couldn't forget that such an overwhelming experience existed in the world.

But she bit her lip, made up her mind, and decided to go all out!

KLANG! A piercing sound exploded in the icy cave, causing the snowflakes on the surrounding walls to cascade down.

Si Ji suddenly opened her eyes wide in disbelief and murmured, "It's so hard!!"

The ice blade in her hand, capable of killing anyone, had seemingly hit an unbreakable barrier and shattered instantly!

Si Ji couldn't believe it—wasn't this just a part of his flesh?

How could his defense be so strong!

In that moment of shock, she stared intently. She saw before her a dark bronze coffin standing upright, its lid facing her, with two large blue eyes on it!

"What is this thing!"

Si Ji was taken aback. Looking down, her exaggerated astonishment finally subsided. It turned out that her ice blade hadn't struck Yun Xiao's little brother but had hit the coffin instead, and the coffin had blocked her attack!

If his sword were really that hard, Si Ji would be speechless, perhaps even a bit afraid.

"Yun Xiao, you... you!" Si Ji glared at the upright coffin before her and couldn't help but scold, "What kind of contraption is this? You're hiding inside?"

"Ahem." The person inside the coffin was obviously still shaken. Likely still in a defensive posture, he took a while to compose himself before speaking in a gentle voice, "Si Ji, let's talk this out calmly; please don't act impulsively."

"Shut up! Don't call me that! I am the Snow Lineage Diva!" Si Ji was so angry that her hair seemed to stand on end. She wasn't usually quick to anger, but seeing this impenetrable coffin before her made the fury in her chest surge.

BANG! BANG! BANG! She reached out and slammed the ancient bronze coffin a few times, producing loud thuds. With her current strength, she could probably break even a Burying Heaven celestial treasure. But the ancient coffin didn't have a single scratch.

From this, she could surmise that this coffin was likely the secret behind Yun Xiao's rapid rise.

"Calm down first, take it easy." Yun Xiao had finally caught his breath and could speak normally now, his tone calming down.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
