Chapter 9

The Man in the Ice Coffin

Nie Yinjian was fast, accurate, and ruthless. Every slash was aimed at the purple-gold mutated beast’s abdomen. The purple-gold mutated beast didn’t show any weakness and kept attacking with its crystalline horns.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack!” Nie Yin roared in the soldiers’ direction. The soldiers immediately surrounded the purple-gold mutated beast and attacked from all directions.

However, other than Nie Yin being able to cause some damage to the purple-gold mutated beast, these soldiers were unable to fight back against it and could only divert its attention.

Li Ling was anxious to help Nie Yin, but her spirit beast was seriously injured and couldn’t participate in the battle for the time being.

She could only watch helplessly as the purple-gold mutated beast approached the golden net and saved the little purple-gold mutated beast.

The little purple-gold mutated beast felt wronged and ran to its mother with a whimper to show its wound. The adult purple-gold mutated beast let out an angry roar. This time, it was really enraged.

Everyone knew clearly that they were screwed.

What should they do if they couldn’t win? Run!

They were chased by the purple-gold mutated beast until they retreated to the edge of the cliff.

“What should we do, Brother Nie?” Li Ling saw the cliff behind her and felt her legs go limp. If she fell from this height, she definitely wouldn’t survive.

At the critical moment, Nie Yin took out a jade token and crushed it. In the next moment, a red light shot into the sky and wrapped him and Li Ling.

This was the life-saving jade tablet his master had given him. His spiritual power was limited so he couldn’t last long. Furthermore, he could only take two people with him. Otherwise, he would have taken this special woman with him.

Unfortunately, such a precious opportunity was actually used to save a fool. With disgust in his eyes, Nie Yin looked down at the woman leaning in his arms.

However, Nie Yin was not worried about Kong Rui’s safety. He was certain that Kong Rui had a powerful backer, so he naturally believed that she had a life-saving artifact on her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken Li Ling away so decisively.

Seeing that Nie Yin and Li Ling were about to disappear, Kong Rui narrowed her eyes happily. She wondered if Li Ling would like the gift she had given her.

However, the most important thing now was to resolve the crisis in front of her. Kong Rui narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction where the beast was chasing from. She thought about the possibility of snatching that cub from the adult beast alone.

Kong Rui didn’t take Nie Yin and Li Ling seriously. After all, they were about to leave, but Kong Rui didn’t expect Li Ling to ambush her at the risk of not being taken away.

“Go to hell!” Li Ling pushed Kong Rui to the cliff behind her with a ferocious expression.

No one could hurt her or snatch Brother Nie from her!

Kong Rui was caught off guard and was really pushed down.

Nie Yin cried out in shock. He wanted to grab her, but he only grabbed the headband on her head.

When Kong Rui fell, she heard Nie Yin’s angry voice. “What are you doing?!”

He was really exasperated by this woman’s stupidity!

“Tsk, I can’t let this little bitch live. I can’t let her live any longer.” Kong Rui said, “Come, Little Birdie, catch me!” The hairpin in her hair instantly turned into a huge Vermillion Bird and caught her in midair.

“Huh? There’s a hole. Little Birdie, go take a look.”

The Vermillion Bird listened to Kong Rui and flew forward calmly. It transformed into a small Vermillion Bird at the entrance of the cave and followed beside Kong Rui.

“Interesting. This cliff is ten thousand feet deep. Someone actually dug a hole in the middle. There must be some secret inside.” As she spoke, Kong Rui walked in warily.

The cave was very open and there was the faint sound of spring water. The walls were wet with moss and were a little slippery. Kong Rui carefully felt her way forward.

After she walked for about twenty meters, it suddenly opened up. There was a huge space inside. In the middle, there was a spring. Above the spring, there was a circular stone. A snow-white ice coffin was placed on it.

The closer Kong Rui got to the ice coffin, the stronger the pressure she felt. Inside the ice coffin, there was an extremely gorgeous man.

His skin was fair, and his long black hair was placed on both sides of his body. He had sharp eyebrows and a tall nose bridge.

He had his eyes closed with a peaceful expression. It was impossible to imagine how handsome he would be if he opened his eyes.
