**Chapter 188: Subduing the Snow Empress**
"Immortal Golden Body!"
Buzz—
After Yue Guan finished speaking, he activated his hidden ability—the Immortal Golden Body.
In the anime, Yue Guan only mastered this ability after the death of Ghost Douluo. With his Immortal Golden Body, he was able to fight Tang San head-on for a short period, even though Tang San wielded the Poseidon Trident, a divine artifact.
At that time, Tang San's strength was no longer measured by Soul Power level. Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was slain by him.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tang San back then already possessed combat power comparable to that of an Unrivaled Douluo.
Yet, against such a powerful Tang San, Yue Guan managed to hold his ground for a short while after activating his Immortal Golden Body, which speaks volumes about how formidable this trump card is.
Boom—
The same was true this time. After activating his Immortal Golden Body, he seemed to completely ignore the damage from Xue Di's soul abilities and charged at her aggressively.
"How is this possible? When did Old Yue become this strong?"
The one most shocked by this display of strength was Gui Mei.
He never imagined that his longtime friend, who had always been on the same level as him, would suddenly surpass him by such a wide margin.
It must be that Immortal Herb!
Gui Mei thought to himself.
No wonder Yue Guan had been searching for an Immortal Herb before. The one he consumed, which perfectly matched his Martial Soul, had given him an incredible boost.
It was far superior to the Immortal Herb that Gui Mei had taken.
Both were Immortal Herbs of equal value, but Yue Guan had consumed one that was perfectly suited to him.
"Don't get distracted! Focus on assisting Elder Chrysanthemum in capturing the Snow Empress!"
Seeing Gui Mei momentarily lost in thought, Gu Ziyi quickly reminded him.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Hearing this, Gui Mei quickly snapped out of it.
Swish!
Gui Mei resumed his attacks against the Snow Empress.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Gu Ziyi also did not stop. He controlled the Peachwood Sword and continued assisting Yue Guan.
After Yue Guan's surge in power, Xue Di was clearly no match for the trio attacking her.
["How can this be…"]
["Sister Xue is actually being suppressed!"]
The Ice Jade Scorpion's soul, hidden within the Ice Sword, was inexplicably shocked to see the Snow Empress struggling.
At the same time, the Ice Jade Scorpion began to panic.
She had lured Xue Di here hoping that her sister would rescue her—not fall into Gu Ziyi's hands!
Now, seeing Xue Di in danger, the Ice Jade Scorpion naturally grew anxious.
If she could appear right now, she would definitely tell Xue Di to flee immediately.
"Elder Yue, your task is to gravely wound her. I will take care of subduing her!"
Gu Ziyi completely ignored the Ice Jade Scorpion's thoughts. After a fierce battle, he secretly sent a message to Yue Guan through a hidden channel.
He knew that his Immortal Golden Body could not be maintained for long.
At this moment, it seemed that Gu Ziyi and the two had suppressed the Snow Empress, but as long as they couldn't defeat the opponent, once his Immortal Golden Body expired, it would be difficult for the trio to suppress the Snow Empress again.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After hearing Gu Ziyi's message, Yue Guan quickly responded.
"Ninth Soul Skill: The Chrysanthemums Wither, the Ground is Covered with Wounds, and the Fallen Flowers Break People's Hearts!"
Boom—
Then, Yue Guan used his ninth soul skill while in the Immortal Golden Body state.
Originally, he had no intention of using this ability because after using this move, he would no longer be able to maintain his Immortal Golden Body.
However, this was also his strongest attack.
He also believed that since Gu Ziyi said so, as long as he severely injured Xue Di, His Highness would definitely be able to defeat the opponent.
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Then, under Yue Guan's final move, countless chrysanthemum petals transformed into indestructible blades and wildly attacked her.
"Empress Sword!"
Buzz—
Sensing the power of the soul skill invoked by Yue Guan, she instantly displayed her signature soul skill.
A massive ice sword condensed in an instant, and Xue Di's figure was hidden within the hundred-meter-long ice sword.
This move was originally her offensive soul skill, but now she used it for defense.
Ding~
Ding~
Ding~
Countless chrysanthemum petals fell onto the ice sword like raindrops.
The indestructible chrysanthemum petals attacked the ice sword but could not break through its defense and were blocked one by one.
However, his petal attacks continued to strike the ice sword relentlessly.
Crack~
Crack~
Slowly, cracks began to appear on the ice sword.
Boom—
In the end, under the attack of Yue Guan's soul skill, the ice sword protecting Xue Di shattered with a loud bang. The massive impact directly shook her figure.
"Puff~"
A mouthful of ice-blue blood spurted from her mouth.
Swish~
"Immobilization Talisman!"
Gu Ziyi, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, teleported behind her first and then placed a talisman on Xue Di's back.
Buzz—
The effect of the Immobilization Talisman took immediate effect on her.
Originally, with Gu Ziyi's Soul Power, the Immobilization Talisman he condensed would not have been able to imprison Xue Di.
However, it was different now that Xue Di was injured.
"Sealing Talisman!"
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Immediately after, Gu Ziyi condensed several Sealing Talismans again and attached them all to Xue Di's body.
Only after securing a complete set of Sealing Talismans on her was he successfully able to seal her Soul Power.
"Human, what did you do to me?"
When Xue Di realized that she was restrained and that her Soul Power was sealed, she was both shocked and furious.
She hadn't expected the human before her to be this powerful.
Despite having cultivated for 500,000 years, she had been defeated and even controlled by this trio of humans.
["No, let Sister Xue go!"]
Xiao Bing's voice rang in Gu Ziyi's mind.
However, he ignored her and directly cut off their mental communication.
"You don't know?"
Gu Ziyi embraced Xue Di's delicate body and then announced to her: "Remember, from now on, you are my trophy!"
Swish~
Not wanting to talk much with her for now, Gu Ziyi used another Sealing Talisman to directly seal Xue Di's ability to speak.
Then, as he held her, he remembered Ah Yin and the rest of the group.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, it was thanks to you that I was able to capture this Snow Empress this time!"
After landing, the first thing Gu Ziyi did was thank Yue Guan.
"As long as I can assist Your Highness!"
Yue Guan was also very pleased to receive Gu Ziyi's recognition.
"Your Highness, should I try to persuade her?"
Ah Yin stepped forward to ask him.
"It's useless. She was lured here by the Ice Jade Scorpion. Now that the Ice Jade Scorpion cannot appear to tell her story, she won't believe anything we say!"
Gu Ziyi shook his head.
"Ah, then… what arrangements does Your Highness plan to make?"
Ah Yin was conflicted upon hearing this. She didn't want to see Xue Di end up in a bad situation.
"Don't worry, she is useful to me and can help me improve my cultivation speed. I won't harm her!"
Gu Ziyi said with a smile.
He would only show others the path of love.
