—------------------—
After leaving the Far North Central Circle, Xue Tianxing slowed down his flying speed.
Most of the soul beasts in the outer reaches of the Far North are thousands of years old. With his current strength as a forty-second-level Soul Master, plus the twenty-three thousand-year soul rings he just absorbed, these soul beasts cannot pose any threat to him at all.
Xue Tianxing spread his ice phoenix wings and flew leisurely at low altitude, his eyes occasionally sweeping across the ice field below, admiring the vast snow scenery unique to the Far North.
At this moment, the sound of fierce fighting came along with the cold wind, mixed with the roar of soul skills and the screams of birds.
Xue Tianxing's heart moved, and he immediately restrained his breath and flew quietly towards the source of the sound.
Then Xue Tianxing landed behind an ice mound, stuck his head out and looked out, only to see a fierce siege taking place in the ice valley not far away.
There were two people being besieged: one was wearing a green suit, with five soul rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple and black surrounding his body, obviously a Soul King; the other was slender, wearing a white dress, with only two soul rings of yellow and yellow, but Xue Tianxing discovered through soul power detection that her soul power had reached the peak of level 30, and she was only one soul ring away from being promoted to Soul Master.
What besieged them were a group of snow-white bird soul beasts with a wingspan of about one meter - the wind and snow birds that only existed in the far north.
Xue Tianxing observed for a moment and quickly figured out the situation.
The Soul King had obviously brought the girl in white to hunt the third soul ring, but for some reason he had alarmed the entire flock of wind and snow birds, and was now being trapped.
His eyes fell on the largest bird in the group - the wind and snow bird with a wingspan of more than two meters. Rich soul power fluctuations lingered around its body. It was actually ten thousand years old. It was the leader of this group of birds.
A ten thousand year soul beast plus more than ten thousand year soul beasts joined forces to besiege. Even though the Soul King was quite powerful, he gradually seemed unable to cope.
He waved the long sword in his hand, continuously slashing back the birds that pounced on him, but there were too many wind and snow birds, and they were good at working together in groups. His defense soon showed flaws, and he had several wounds on his body caused by the claws of the birds.
The girl in white at the side was also fighting hard. She kept releasing ice-attribute soul skills to freeze the attacking birds, but due to insufficient soul power, the effect became weaker and weaker.
Xue Tianxing frowned, hesitating whether to help - less trouble is better, he now wants to get to the town as soon as possible to meet up with Liu Tianfeng and the others.
But at this moment, the girl in white seemed to be forced into a desperate situation and suddenly released her martial spirit:
An ice-blue phoenix silhouette unfolded behind her, and as its wings flapped, a cold ice energy spread out. This was her second soul skill. A beam of ice-blue light shot towards a thousand-year-old wind and snow bird.
"Um?"
Xue Tianxing's heart was suddenly shocked - he clearly felt that his Ice Phoenix martial soul had produced a strong resonance with the girl's martial soul, as if they had encountered a power of the same origin!
Xue Tianxing looked carefully and found that the girl's martial soul was actually the Ice Phoenix, and judging from the fluctuations of her soul power, it was also of the ultimate ice attribute!
"Shui Bing'er!"
Xue Tianxing recognized her instantly - the captain of Tianshui College in the original novel, who possessed the Ice Phoenix martial spirit with the ultimate ice attribute and was extremely talented.
In the words of netizens in her previous life, if Shui Bing'er had not met the protagonists, she would definitely be considered the top talent of the younger generation in Douluo Continent.
Looking at Shui Bing'er's pale cheeks due to the exhaustion of soul power, and the Ice Phoenix martial spirit that originated from the same source as his own, Xue Tianxing no longer hesitated.
Not only did he want to make friends with this genius who also possessed the ultimate Ice Phoenix martial spirit, he also had a liking for Shui Bing'er's appearance and temperament - dressed in white, with a beautiful face, even in the fierce battle, it was difficult to conceal her unique agility and tenacity.
"It's time to take action!"
Xue Tianxing let out a low roar, and suddenly spread out his ice phoenix wings. The soul power in his body burst out, and the aura of a forty-second-level Soul Master was released instantly.
Xue Tianxing leaped up and flew towards the ice valley, releasing the fourth soul skill he obtained from the twenty thousand year old Ice Eagle - "Ice Phoenix·Frost Howl"!
A roar containing the power of ice wind emanated from the Ice Phoenix's mouth, instantly sweeping across the entire Ice Valley.
The besieging Snowflake Birds were knocked back by this powerful force, and several weaker Millennium Birds were even knocked unconscious to the ground.
The thousand-year-old leader of the wind and snow birds was also startled. He turned around and looked at Xue Tianxing fiercely, his eyes full of vigilance.
Shui Bing'er and the Soul King were both stunned, looking in surprise at the sudden appearance of Xue Tianxing, and the Ice Phoenix behind him, which was extremely similar to Shui Bing'er's martial soul.
Xue Tianxing transformed into an ice-blue stream of light and instantly landed beside Shui Bing'er. He asked with concern:
"Are you all right?"
Shui Bing'er turned her head and looked at Xue Tianxing, who was half a head shorter than her but exuded a chilling icy aura. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she said gratefully:
"Thank you for your help. We're okay for now."
As Shui Bing'er finished speaking, Teacher Sun from Tianshui College beside her suddenly shouted in a deep voice:
"Stop talking! They're coming again!"
The group of wind and snow birds adjusted their formation and swooped down towards the three people again, the sound of their flapping wings like thunder.
Teacher Sun no longer hesitated, and burst out with all his soul power. Five soul rings lit up at the same time, and he rushed towards the ten thousand year old wind and snow bird king first, trying to buy a chance for the two to catch their breath.
"Leave it to me!"
Xue Tianxing let out a low cry, and his martial spirit, the Ice Phoenix, spread its wings. The third spirit ring suddenly lit up—"Third spirit skill, Ice Flame Phoenix Cry!"
Along with a clear phoenix cry, a ball of dark blue ice flame spurted out of the Ice Phoenix's mouth, shooting like a meteor towards the swarming thousand-year-old wind and snow birds.
Wherever the ice flame passed, the air condensed instantly. The wind and snow birds flying in the front had no time to dodge and were instantly frozen into crystal ice sculptures, falling straight from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the Ice Phoenix let out another high-pitched cry, and the invisible sound waves spread out, temporarily freezing the remaining Snow Birds in mid-air, unable to move!
"What a powerful spirit skill!"
Shui Bing'er's eyes were full of shock.
Xue Tianxing didn't pause, and the first soul ring immediately lit up:
"First Soul Skill, Extreme Cold Ray!"
A thin ray of light filled with terrifying coldness shot out from the beak of the ice phoenix, sweeping across the flock of immobilized birds like the scythe of the god of death. Several more wind and snow birds fell to the ground, completely losing their life force.
In just a few moments, Xue Tianxing eliminated nearly half of the thousand-year-old wind and snow birds, but this also completely angered the remaining soul beasts.
The thousand-year-old wind and snow bird king let out a sharp scream, broke free from Teacher Sun's entanglement, and led the remaining birds to charge again - this time the attack was more fierce than before. The birds pounced on the three people regardless of their lives, their claws and beaks flashing with cold light, making it difficult to resist.
