Lu Qianqian appeared in a white robe whiter than snow, and the originally scorching environment instantly turned bone-chillingly cold.

“Neigh!”

Red Hare whinnied, and the flame-like air currents beneath its hooves gradually weakened as the ground froze over.

If this still couldn’t describe how cold the surrounding environment had become, then several flying arrows were drastically slowed down by the assault of the cold chill—otherwise, Li Qingyang and the others wouldn’t have had time to turn around.

“Achoo!”

Lü Fengxian on the city tower sneezed.

This extremely cold weather seemed a bit unfriendly to him who wore no clothes.

In contrast, after Senior Sister made her entrance, Li Qingyang and the others quickly donned luxurious mink fur coats, thick hats, earmuffs, and scarves.

“Crack!”

“Crack crack!”

The several slowly flying arrows ultimately couldn’t withstand the assault of the cold air. Not only did they come to a halt mid-air, but their entire bodies were also frozen.

As for Red Hare, aside from its entirely red color, there was no trace of heat left either beneath its hooves or in its gaze. It could even slip while standing on the icy ground.

Battlefield control mage—truly formidable.

“Great opportunity!”

Su Xiaomo’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put on ice skates.

Don’t ask where this thing came from—if asked, just say Gousheng gave it to him.

“Swoosh!”

Su Xiaomo swung his arms and charged forward.

With ice blades on the soles of his shoes, he left two thin traces wherever he passed, instantly transforming into a professional skating athlete.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

Utilizing the smooth ice surface, Su Xiaomo’s speed increased even more.

“Neigh!”

Red Hare reared its head with a cry, preparing to dodge. However, as soon as its four limbs exerted force, it slipped and fell to the ground.

From this, it was clear that the icy ground had a significant impact on it, obviously restricting its movement.

“Swoosh!”

Su Xiaomo seized the opportunity, circling around it several times, then leaping into the air. He infused True Spirit Power into the ice blades and executed the high-difficulty mid-air spinning moves found in figure skating.

“Swoosh! Swoosh!”

“Swoosh! Swoosh!”

Sharp blade lights burst forth one after another, precisely bombarding Red Hare.

Without the advantage of speed, and even greatly restricted, it was nothing more than a sandbag to be pummeled.

“Swoosh!”

Su Xiaomo landed gracefully, sliding elegantly along the edge of the field. The blade marks he left behind seemed chaotic but gradually outlined the characters “Wangu Sect.”

“10 points!”

Jun Changxiao held up a card.

“The host is stealing the spotlight again!” The System roared while holding up a sign, saying, “10 points.”

Sitting at the judges’ table, Jianghu Zaijian held up his sign, saying, “I give 9 points.”

“Swoosh!”

“Swoosh!”

After Su Xiaomo succeeded, he didn’t waste the excellent opportunity and continued to move around on the ice surface, occasionally seizing chances to launch stylish attacks.

“Boom boom boom!”

Sharp blades swept across Red Hare’s body. Although they didn’t break through the defense in a short time, the stinging pain became increasingly obvious.

Lü Fengxian didn’t bother with his mount but locked onto Lu Qianqian, saying, “Not a bad appearance.”

“But…”

He drew his bow again, gathering several arrows, and said, “Compared to Cicada, you’re far inferior.”

“Swoosh! Swoosh!”

As soon as his words fell, arrows carrying powerful demonic energy flew from the city tower. From the aura they emitted and their speed, they were clearly stronger than before!

“Go.”

Lu Qianqian said coldly.

“Crack crack crack!”

Xiao Zueji’s Flowing Light Shield was covered with layers of ice.

He immediately understood what she meant and strode forward, then held the ice shield horizontally in front of him, forming an absolute defense.

Li Qingyang and the others moved closer to the defensive zone. Even Su Xiaomo, who was attacking Red Hare, slid over.

The arrows surging with demonic energy had a built-in tracking system. When the Wangu Sect disciples huddled together, they changed from scattered to concentrated, bursting forth one after another.

“Boom!”

One arrow.

“Boom! Boom!”

Two arrows, three arrows…

With each impact sound, ice shards flew.

“Ahh ahh!”

Xiao Zueji’s face contorted as he pressed his shoulder against the Flowing Light Shield. His feet slowly retreated, clearly showing that even with Senior Sister’s ice enhancement, he still struggled to withstand all the attacks. The situation could collapse at any moment.

“Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui!”

Just then, Ye Xingchen formed hand seals with both hands and struck a palm toward the void. The eight characters flashed with dazzling light, and a Eight Trigrams pattern appeared before the shield.

“Swoosh—”

Like the final straw that broke the camel’s back, the arrow merged into the pattern and appeared above Red Hare, who was struggling to climb up.

“Boom!”

A deafening roar rang out, and the surrounding ice surface rapidly cracked.

Everyone turned back to look and saw that Red Hare had collapsed on the ground, its entire body changing from bright red to charred black. White foam kept spewing from its mouth, and then… it gradually crumbled into nothingness.

Done for!

Accidentally injured by its master’s skill!

Li Qingyang and the others didn’t feel happy about Red Hare being eliminated. Instead, cold sweat poured from their foreheads.

That horse’s strength was formidable, yet it was instantly killed. If not for Senior Sister’s defensive enhancement and Junior Brother Ye’s timely redirection of firepower, everyone would definitely have been wiped out!

“Damn it!”

Lü Fengxian roared, “How dare you injure my mount!”

“Swoosh!”

He leaped down from the city tower, both hands gathering surging demonic energy that transformed into a great mountain, viciously smashing down toward everyone.

Lu Qianqian stepped back, crossing her hands. Text effects activated, her full head of black hair transformed into silver white, like an otherworldly Extreme Cold Ice Immortal.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Cold wind howled, snowflakes danced.

The mountain gathered from demonic energy became covered in ice and snow, its descending speed gradually slowing.

Even Lü Fengxian suspended in mid-air clearly felt his body obstructed. Especially the bone-piercing cold air surging into his body made his exposed muscles begin to tremble.

One word: cold!

“Die!”

Just then, Ye Xingchen bypassed the mountain and flew over, infusing all his True Spirit Power into the Heavenly Halberd, striking toward Lü Fengxian with the force of thunder.

“Boom!”

The light piercing heaven and earth suddenly exploded, causing the entire battlefield to tremble.

“Tap!”

Ye Xingchen landed on the ground, opening his mouth to spit out blood.

Just now, using the Universe Reversal to help Xiao Zueji deflect the final arrow was already extremely difficult. Now, bursting forth with all his strength was adding insult to injury.

Lu Qianqian’s situation was also not good.

Though she appeared calm from her entrance until now, transforming the battlefield into a winter scene consumed massive amounts of True Spirit Power every second. Especially having to control speed with ice-cold power, she was now at the end of her strength.

“Boom!”

At this time, Lü Fengxian, who had been suspended in mid-air, landed on the ground.

His expression was ferocious, his gaze flashing with fury, saying, “If my equipment hadn’t been stolen, you all would have died without intact corpses long ago…”

“Crack!”

His body shattered and turned into nothingness.

“Ding! Congratulations to the challengers for defeating Demonified Lü Bu within the allotted time!”

“Ding! Because the challengers defeated an S-rank Demonified Heroic Soul, they have obtained a perfect evaluation. The next round will directly challenge an SS-rank Heroic Soul.”

“Buzz!”

In the area where Lü Fengxian disappeared, a box gradually condensed, containing a puppet modeled after Red Hare.

“We won!”

Su Xiaomo sat down, a brilliant smile appearing on his weakened face.

Li Qingyang walked to the box and took out the Red Hare puppet, saying, “This should be the reward for clearing the stage.”

“Senior Sister, how should we distribute it?”

“Give it to Junior Brother Ye.”

After Lu Qianqian said this sentence, she disappeared from the battlefield by forfeiting.

“Junior Brother Ye.”

Li Qingyang tossed the puppet over.

This battle had consumed too much energy, leaving him exhausted, so he also chose to forfeit and was sent out of the Tianwei Secret Realm.

“Leaving, leaving.”

Su Xiaomo and Xiao Zueji successively left the instance.

Only Ye Xingchen remained at Hulao Pass. He looked at the Red Hare puppet and said, “Thank you.”
