"Ancestor, I'll explain the specifics later. Focus our attacks on his neck!" Shui Wuya's voice suddenly rang out, causing a momentary pause in the battle for Shui Bing'er.
Fortunately, with Shui Wuya's timely reminder, Shui Bing'er snapped back to attention. She forcefully pushed off the ground with her right leg, leaping high into the air, evading a hefty man's attack.
"Kill that woman! Otherwise, we're all dead!"
At that moment, the other nine survivors in the hell slaughter arena shifted their attention to Shui Bing'er.
"She's the Blood Sword Enchantress! Kill her quickly!"
It seemed they had recognized Shui Bing'er's identity, recounting her past feats and regarding her as the primary target for elimination!
"Hmph, let's see who ends up killing whom!"
A cold light flickered in Shui Bing'er's eyes. After soaring into the air, she descended rapidly, bringing her sword down on the hefty man's neck!
Crack!
A glint of frost flashed on the blade as the hefty man's head fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere!
"The man in the front has an old injury on his right leg, the scar-faced man has an old injury on his right hand, and the man with a mark on his forehead..."
Thereafter, Shui Wuya's voice continued to echo in Shui Bing'er's mind, utilizing his psychic power to pinpoint all the weaknesses of the remaining eight.
Seeing the hefty man's head roll, the remaining eight felt a surge of fear, immediately rushing towards Shui Bing'er!
However, Shui Bing'er remained calm. Following Shui Wuya's cues about their weaknesses, she maneuvered among the eight like a shadow, her blood sword continuously slashing.
Finally, after about three to four minutes, Shui Bing'er defeated all eight opponents!
Shui Bing'er, well-acquainted with the brutality of the slaughter capital, then decapitated each of the eight corpses and crushed their heads!
Observing this scene, Shui Wuya couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. "The Blood Sword Enchantress truly lives up to her reputation!"
After the battle ended, Shui Bing'er, as the victor, walked out of the hell slaughter arena and promptly returned to the outer city.
The slaughter capital was divided into inner and outer cities. The inner city had no rules and one could be ambushed at any time, while the outer city prohibited indiscriminate killing.
Shui Bing'er wasn't afraid of battle, but with Shui Wuya by her side, she lacked no resources. For the sake of tranquility, she chose to reside in the outer city.
"So, what happened this time?" Shui Bing'er's face softened upon returning home, a hint of lightness in her voice.
Over the past two years, she had conversed with Shui Wuya frequently, and their relationship had grown close, akin to very good friends.
"After completing my Ice God's Second Trial, I gained the ability to possess ancestors," Shui Wuya responded truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er suddenly realized why Shui Wuya's appearance this time was markedly different from before.
Though she could hear his voice before, she couldn't sense his presence. However, this time when his voice echoed, she distinctly felt a presence within her.
"How did you know their weaknesses?" Shui Bing'er asked, curious.
"It's simple. My psychic power is much stronger than yours and isn't affected by the murderous aura here," Shui Wuya explained, noting this when he possessed her soul.
With this newfound ability to possess souls, he no longer needed to expend large amounts of psychic energy to communicate with Shui Bing'er. Of course, if he wanted to send her items, he still had to use the system, consuming a considerable amount of psychic energy.
"Ancestor, next time, make sure to enter the slaughter arena only after I'm present," Shui Wuya emphasized, ensuring Shui Bing'er's safety.
"Don't worry, from now on, we'll fight together here!" Shui Bing'er's voice rang out like silver bells, eagerly anticipating the prospect of battling alongside Shui Wuya in the hell slaughter arena.
With the recent victory included, she had won a total of 90 battles! The number of people who had died by her hand had reached an astounding 810! Consequently, she had earned the title of Blood Sword Enchantress in the slaughter capital, striking fear into countless fallen soul masters!
However, each subsequent battle would now require a considerable waiting period.
...
After Shui Wuya withdrew from the state of soul possession, his consciousness returned to the icy expanse.
"The Ice God's Third Trial begins!"
"Assessment: Successfully craft a Ninth-Rank Soul Device!"
The divine assessment prompt sounded.
Shui Wuya was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected this task. However, he didn't find it daunting. With his talent, crafting soul devices would only be a leap forward. His psychic power should now be on par with Star Anise Ice Grass. Coupled with his Soul Power Network, crafting soul devices would be effortless. The only thing he lacked was the knowledge of crafting them, which he could easily acquire.
Of course, the main reason for this situation was Shui Wuya's lack of emphasis on soul device studies since childhood. Who would have thought that the Ice God's trial would include a requirement to craft a soul device?
In his storage ring lay a dusty tome, "Shui Family's Comprehensive Guide to Soul Device Crafting," which had been neglected for many years. Finally, he could take it out and peruse its contents.
"Young Master, there are traces of their existence beneath the ice layer," Han Feng remarked upon seeing Shui Wuya's breakthrough in psychic power.
"It's not easy," Shui Wuya replied, gazing down at the ice layer below, a glint of excitement in his eyes.
After two years of searching, confirming the absence of the Ice Turtle Clan on the glacier, they had finally found traces of the Ice Turtle Clan's existence here.
As for the Ice God's divine assessment, he wasn't in a hurry. With Han Feng, an Eighth-Rank Soul Device Master, learning to craft a Ninth-Rank soul device was only a matter of time.
"Ice Emperor, break through the ice layer. Let's go down!" Shui Wuya's thoughts commanded, and the Ice Emperor immediately materialized, casting a glance at Shui Wuya and Han Feng before wielding its power to break the ice.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The glacier where Shui Wuya currently resided had a thickness of several thousand meters. Fortunately, with the Ice Emperor's assistance, breaking through the ice layer was no difficult task. The resounding explosions echoed across the glacier, and in no time, Shui Wuya and Han Feng descended into the sea beneath the ice.
Unlike the howling blizzard on the glacier, the sea below was exceptionally calm, with warm currents flowing.
"There's something strange down there."
Suddenly, the Octagon and Dream Ice Silkworms flickered out from Shui Wuya's spiritual world.
Especially the Dream Ice Silkworm, its pupils dilated, seemingly curious about what lay beneath the seabed.
"Let's go!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Shui Wuya's mouth as he led the group, diving straight into the depths of the sea...
Before long, Shui Wuya and his companions arrived in the underwater world.
Stretching endlessly before them was a vast and magnificent ruin, emerging strikingly into their view!
