"Crack."
The glacier was cracking. Numerous cracks appear, densely packed. The impact from below was getting louder and stronger.
"Boom."
Finally, the glacier shattered. A region of the glacier hundreds of meters in size was completely shattered.
"Splash."
A huge head slowly emerged from the North Ice Sea beneath the glacier. It looked somewhat like a bear.
However, when the head and body of this exotic beast gradually emerged, the three ice sculptures fell silent.
This exotic beast was a bear enlarged several hundreds of times. It was several hundred meters tall, as large as a mountain. It slowly crawled from the North Ice Sea onto the shore With every step it took, the ground shook.
"Liu Yibai, was this the exotic beast you spoke of? And it's a juvenile exotic beast?"
Shen Lianxin sent a message.
"Last time, it wasn't this big."
"When was the last time?"
"Thirty years ago."
Lin Fei fell silent. Shen Lianxin fell silent. Even Liu Yibai fell silent.
Previously, in Liu Yibai's description, this exotic beast was strong, but it was far from being as big as it was now, reaching several hundred of meters tall.
Thirty years ago, the exotic beast wasn't even thirty meters tall. What did this exotic beast eat in these thirty years? It directly grew to several hundreds of meters! Just looking at its size, that was the most straightforward deterrent.
Thirty years ago, Liu Yibai, facing an exotic beast less than thirty meters tall, already found it tricky and needed to bring Lin Fei along.
Now, facing the giant bear exotic beast reaching several hundred meters tall, the three of them really didn't have confidence. They didn't even have a glimmer of assurance.
"Should we go back, cultivate for some more time, and then come back?"
Shen Lianxin proposed a suggestion. Martial artists fight against the heavens and the earth, they do not fear. But not being afraid does not mean courting death.
Facing such a terrifying giant beast. Just the three of them? They probably couldn't even withstand a slap.
"Cultivate? At our level, we have reached the limit. Not to mention cultivating for some time. What if we cultivate for thirty or fifty years? Without foundation-building, there was no hope for even the slightest improvement.
The next time we come, we will still face this exotic beast. By then, this exotic beast will no longer be a juvenile exotic beast, but an adult exotic beast. It might even be stronger than a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator or Martial Saint!" Liu Yibai slowly spoke.
Their communication was done through spiritual messages. Therefore, it wouldn't affect the exotic beast.
Shen Lianxin also fell silent. He knew that Liu Yibai was right. Even if they cultivated for another thirty, fifty years, what could they achieve?
"Brother Lin, do we fight or not?"
Ever since the exotic beast appeared. It was Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai who were communicating. While Lin Fei had remained silent the whole time, not uttering a single word.
"Its eyes were its weak points! Even the strongest exotic beast has weaknesses. My saber was too conspicuous, it won't be able to harm its eyes. Brother Liu, your sword was silent and traceless, perhaps, it can blind its eyes. This was our only chance! And there was no way back!"
Lin Fei finally spoke. However, he didn't really answer the question of whether to fight or not. Instead, he pointed out the weak point of the exotic beast.
From the beginning, Lin Fei had never considered retreating. Instead, he had been looking for the weaknesses of the exotic beast.
Shen Lianxin was taken aback. Liu Yibai fell silent.
"Hahaha, excellent, Brother Lin's determination was admirable. I didn't expect that after hiding my sword for thirty years, my mental will still hasn't improved. What does it matter if I die today? Without becoming a Martial Saint, even if I survive, there would be no meaning!"
Liu Yibai began to laugh. His tone was incredibly determined.
"That's right, I have sealed my saber for twenty years. The loneliness and pain from not being able to improve have tortured me greatly. I would rather die than endure another day without any hope."
Shen Lianxin also solidified His resolve. In this battle, they might die, but they had to go ahead regardless. Because this was their only chance to establish a foundation. Their only hope!
"Brother Shen, we will hold off this exotic beast first, distract it. Brother Liu will seize the opportunity. However, Brother Liu, I hope you can seize the opportunity. We may not be able to hold on for long."
Lin Fei calmly arranged. And so, the three quietly waited.
Shen Lianxin was also brewing the timing, trying to lead the exotic beast as far away from the North Ice Sea as possible.
Otherwise, once they made their move, if they scared off the exotic beast and let the exotic beast escape into the North Ice Sea, wouldn't it all be for nothing? So, they waited quietly.
One step, two steps, three steps... The exotic beast was gradually moving away from the North Ice Sea. It was almost in front of the three ice sculptures.
"Swish".
In the next moment, one of the ice sculptures shattered. Shen Lianxin made His move with all his strength. Several hundreds of meters long saber light suddenly cut through the sky. The sharp saber blade pointed directly at the exotic beast.
"Ultimate Saber Slash!"
Shen Lianxin slashed out with His saber.
"Roar..."
The exotic beast roared angrily. It didn't look at Shen Lianxin's several hundred-meter-long saber light. It slapped directly out.
Amazingly, under the giant palm of the exotic beast, the saber light shattered. Even the skin of the exotic beast was not broken. Shen Lianxin could only watch as the giant palm fell.
"Boom".
The next moment, Lin Fei also made His move. Just as the exotic beast's giant palm was about to hit Shen Lianxin, he didn't try to save Shen Lianxin. Instead, he took advantage of the exotic beast's palm swing when its defense was open, and the Saber Qi in Lin Fei's body burst out.
In the void, there appeared a one thousand-meter-high saber energy, condensed into a heavenly saber! Exuding the power of a heavenly saber!
The terrifying power of the heavenly saber, like a huge mountain, pressed down on the exotic beast. Immediately, the exotic beast roared crazily, seemingly very angry.
This was the characteristic of "momentum". Whether it was a person or an exotic beast, as long as it was a living being, it will be suppressed by "momentum". And this was only the momentum of the heavenly saber. If it was real saber momentum. How strong would that be? Even, perhaps there would be no need to make a move. Just using the saber momentum to suppress would immobilize this exotic beast.
The roar of the exotic beast did not stop Lin Fei, he didn't hesitate at all. He clasped His hands together, just like holding up a big saber.
"Heavenly Saber Art, Slash!"
The one thousand meters high saber energy, with Lin Fei's saber intent bolstered, and the mysterious momentum of the heavenly saber suppressing.
This saber was Lin Fei's peak saber! Even, vaguely, this saber seemed to have broken some kind of boundary.
In the void, a trace of black cracks appeared. But it also disappeared in an instant as if it never appeared.
Lin Fei didn't care. His entire mind was on this saber. In his mind, there were no other thoughts, only this saber!
"Boom".
Finally, Lin Fei's one thousand meters saber energy landed on the head of the exotic beast. From top to bottom, it slashed down fiercely.
At the same time, Liu Yibai's figure didn't know when actually appeared on the head of the exotic beast. Silent and traceless, even Lin Fei did not perceive it.
Just as Liu Yibai's sword was about to pierce the exotic beast's eye, a line of blood appeared on the beast's head.
"Squash".
The next moment, the beast's head exploded, extending to its entire body.
With a "plop", the several hundred meters of the exotic beast was split in two. It was cut in half by Lin Fei's saber energy.
For a moment, Shen Lianxin fell silent. Liu Yibai fell silent. Even Lin Fei himself fell silent.
"It, it seems too weak..."
After a long while, Lin Fei slowly spoke.
