C16 Avalanche

No matter what, the move that Wang Zhixuan had performed was enough for him to obtain one of the three spots for the preliminaries.

Fu Lingfeng also frowned. This Wang Zhixuan should be only seventeen to eighteen years old, yet he possesses such a high cultivation. As expected of the Wang Clan's talented youngster.

However, those two qilin beasts weren't so easy to deal with. According to what Wang Zhixuan had said before, they were formed from the blood of the Qilins, which were here to absorb the energy. The Qilin was so powerful that even a drop of its blood could give birth to a consciousness.

After being attacked, the two Qilins quickly dodged away. They did not meet Wang Zhixuan's attack head on. It was obvious that they had suffered before.

"You still want to leave?" Wang Zhixuan snorted coldly as if he had lost his patience. He wanted to tame these two Qilins as soon as possible before taking advantage of them.

The movements of the strange Qilin beast were incomparably nimble. It was constantly fighting with Wang Zhixuan while also looking for an opportunity to counterattack. Although they were not the real Qilins and were hundreds and thousands of miles inferior to the Qilins, the tyrannical aura that the blood gave off made them have an extremely strong desire to attack.

"We …" Lin Wan'er observed the scene for a moment and still felt an itch in her heart. After all, these were strange beasts formed from the fresh blood of qilins. Although they were not the true descendants of qilins, if they could be nurtured and grown up, then their combat power would definitely be extremely terrifying.

As far as Lin Wan'er was concerned, this Qilin couldn't be taken away by Wang Zhixuan.

However, before Lin Wan'er could voice out her thoughts, she saw Fu Lingfeng's face reveal a look of shock and even fear.

On the surface of Fu Lingfeng's body, the Ice Heart Tactic circulated even faster. However, this time, it was not acting on its own as Fu Lingfeng absorbed the energy. Instead, it was analyzing the situation here.

The feedback Fu Lingfeng got from the Ice Heart Sutra was that something terrifying was about to happen here.

"Boom …"

"Rumble …"

A loud sound came from a higher place. Beneath the feet of Fu Lingfeng and the others, there were also some sounds of breaking. Although it was not very loud, it caused their scalps to feel even more numb.

"Avalanche …"

These two words echoed in everyone's mind. The fight between Wang Zhixuan and the two Qilin beasts had brought too much of an impact on the stability of the place.

From high above, the snow had already begun to collapse, continuously increasing its power. At this moment, not only Fu Lingfeng, but Lin Wan'er and Wang Zhixuan had also realized what was going on.

"Come with me!" Fu Lingfeng shouted.

At this time, his Icy Heart Iceheart Technique was constantly analyzing the energy fluctuations in this place, helping Fu Lingfeng find the best route.

At a time like this, if they were to be directly attacked by an avalanche, with the strength of their physical bodies, they would absolutely not be able to withstand it.

This was the great power of the laws of nature. Perhaps the legendary martial experts could forcefully resist it, but it was definitely not something that Fu Lingfeng and the others could do at this moment.

"Damn it!" At this moment, Wang Zhixuan couldn't care less about the two Qilin beasts. Although strange beasts were good, they were not worth mentioning when compared to his own life.

Wang Zhixuan quickly rushed down the mountain. However, the speed of the avalanche was much faster than when he was at the fourth level of the Martial Dao Realm.

The two of them had to be slightly lower, but not by much.

"Go over there!" Fu Lingfeng shouted again.

The path he was guiding was different from what Lin Wan'er was thinking. To Lin Wan'er, that place was more dangerous.

However, it was precisely this moment of hesitation that caused her to miss out on the best opportunity.

Without any other choice, Fu Lingfeng rushed over and seized the opportunity to throw Lin Wan'er to the side. Lin Wan'er took advantage of the opening in the air and successfully landed on a high position with some resistance.

As a result, the snow fell, but it did not cover Lin Wan'er.

This, was also one of Fu Lingfeng's repays for saving her life.

In this situation, Fu Lingfeng did not have the time to react and was directly hit by the falling snow. His body sank and he submerged into the snow.

"Young Master Fu!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed, but it was all meaningless now.

Fu Lingfeng's body had already disappeared into the endless snow. Even if it was a martial arts master, after being crushed like this, the odds were against him.

At this moment, Fu Lingfeng only felt an intense pain. The pain spread through his body. However, at the same time, the Frozen Heart Arts was frantically recovering his body. As a result, the injuries continued to heal, and Fu Lingfeng continued to endure the tearing pain.

As he was tormented nonstop like this, Fu Lingfeng's joints and bones were constantly being crushed and repaired, almost exhausting all the energy in his body.

But at this time, finally, the pressure around them disappeared. Fu Lingfeng struggled to open his eyes and discovered that he was squeezed into a small cave, while the snow could not penetrate inside.

The unique structure here protected Fu Lingfeng's body. In addition, there seemed to be some space in the depths of the cave. If that was not the case, then just this large area was not enough to support Fu Lingfeng here. At the same time, it gave him enough space to survive in.

Fu Lingfeng struggled to sit up, but discovered that his physical body seemed to have become even more tyrannical than before. Of course, this was just a feeling that he couldn't test it here.

The pain he'd gone through before hadn't been in vain. This also gave Fu Lingfeng a chance to change his mind.

In front of him was pitch black, but with the snow covering him, Fu Lingfeng was powerless to completely push it away. He could only grope his way deeper into the cave.

This cave was only about half the height of a person. Only by crouching down, Fu Lingfeng was able to move forward. But not long after, Fu Lingfeng heard some sounds.

Fu Lingfeng was shocked. In this place, everything was pitch-black. He was completely unable to determine what exactly was in front of him. Such a strange sound naturally made him feel extremely uneasy.

The Ice Heart Mantra's energy had almost been exhausted. Now, besides the power of his physical body, there was nothing else that could help Fu Lingfeng. Even the white shadow Snow Wind Sword was gone without a trace in the chaos before.

Fu Lingfeng hesitated slightly, but in the end, he still decided to walk forward. However, his speed slowed down by quite a bit. However, a moment later, Fu Lingfeng could still hear heavy and hurried gasps coming from within the pitch-black tunnel. It seemed as if there was a life here that was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Fu Lingfeng held his breath as he slowly walked forward. Not long later, he saw a streak of red light. It was in the form of a drop of water. It was currently trembling nonstop, illuminating a portion of the surrounding area.

And these lights, let Fu Lingfeng see what kind of existence was in front of him.

This was the red color of the two Qilin beasts from before. However, at this moment, its expression was dark and gloomy. Upon seeing Fu Lingfeng's arrival, it slightly shifted its body, but appeared to be even weaker.

Fu Lingfeng could see that the latter half of its body had almost been crushed into meat paste. Clearly, it was the effect of the avalanche earlier. The thing that looked like a water droplet was his heart.

Fu Lingfeng recalled what Wang Zhixuan had said earlier and guessed that this heart was probably a drop of blood from that qilin beast. Even if it wasn't blood essence, it was still incomparably precious.

The Qilin noticed Fu Lingfeng's gaze, but it did not attempt to dodge. Instead, it looked at Fu Lingfeng with a pleading look. It did not beg Fu Lingfeng to save its life, because in its heart, it already knew that it would not be able to escape death.

Its intelligence was much higher than that of normal dire beasts. Therefore, it begged Fu Lingfeng to give it a quick death.

Fu Lingfeng understood the meaning behind its eyes and slowly walked over. The Qilin beast closed its eyes and waited quietly.

"I'm sorry." Fu Lingfeng sighed lightly.

Soon after, a muffled sound rang out from within the cave and everything returned to its previous calm state.
