Yang Kai didn’t have time to think too much about it as he exerted his strength and prepared to destroy Bei Li Mo’s Demon Heart.
As a Demon Saint, she definitely had more than one Demon Heart. Even if he were to crush it, he might not be able to kill Bei Limo, but at the very least, it would be able to greatly damage her vitality and allow him to escape with his Embodiment.
Yang Kai also understood that after he crushed this Demon Heart, regardless of the torrential flood behind it, he would immediately escape with his Embodiment.
But at this moment, an invisible force suddenly burst out from the spot where the Profound Dark Needle had pierced into her body. This force spread out in a circular ripple that could be seen with the naked eye, quickly sweeping across a thousand feet.
Yang Kai’s movements suddenly became stiff and he couldn’t summon any strength at all. His Soul began to tremble violently, as if it was about to fly out of his body. At this moment, he was scared out of his wits, unable to stabilize his Soul no matter how hard he tried.
His vision blurred and the entire world changed.
As far as the eye could see, the entire world was covered in white snow, and the cold wind was piercing to the bone. There were icebergs of varying sizes all around, all of them sparkling and translucent. Snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell from the sky and landed on Yang Kai’s body, causing him to shiver.
Bei Limo, who should have been stabbed in the chest by his dragon claw in front of him, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, she appeared a thousand feet away on a towering ice crystal. She stood there, her silver hair fluttering behind her, like a small flower blooming in this icy world.
However, at this moment, Bei Limo’s expression was filled with resentment as she stared in his direction and gnashed her teeth.
Yang Kai frowned, obviously feeling that something was wrong with his current situation. After carefully examining himself, he discovered that he was in the state of a Divine Soul.
In other words, his body in this world was not his physical body, but his Divine Soul.
Bei Limo was the same!
Both his body and hers should still be somewhere in Cloud Shadow Continent, maintaining their previous position.
What was going on? Yang Kai couldn’t figure out what was happening, but a strange sound came from behind him. Turning his head, Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he called out, “Lady Bing!”
The Lady Bing he had seen in the eighteenth floor ice prisons of Proud Snow Ice Palace was walking towards him from behind. The young girl wore a sweet smile on her face, as if she was ignorant of the world, but as she approached, Yang Kai felt a great sense of crisis and turned half his body to face Bei Limo and this mysterious young girl.
Speaking of which, although he had obtained the assistance of this Lady Bing in the Ice Prison that day, Yang Kai had not completely believed her words. The reason he had accepted the Profound Dark Needle was mainly because Lady Bing had said that it was quite powerful and could delay Bei Limo for three to ten breaths of time.
At that time, Yang Kai was repairing the World Gate in Bei Limo’s territory, so he had to be on guard against her. If it weren’t for today’s incident, Yang Kai probably wouldn’t have used the Profound Dark Needle and would have kept it hidden.
Now it seemed that he had fallen into someone else’s trap and been used.
But even if he knew, even if he had to do it again, Yang Kai would have to activate his Profound Dark Needle. In front of Bei Limo, he really didn’t have the ability to resist.
“Boy, you’ve done well,” Lady Bing paused and stood in a triangle with Yang Kai and Bei Li Mo a thousand feet apart, smiling as she looked at him, “You succeeded so quickly, choosing you was indeed the right choice.”
Yang Kai said lightly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Being used by someone naturally made him unhappy. Although he hadn’t been able to see the true face of this Lady Bing, she was definitely using him to plot something, which was enough to make Yang Kai remain vigilant.
“What did you call her?” Bei Limo glared at Yang Kai and sneered, “Do you know how old she is? You actually called her Lady Bing!”
“You’re not young either!” Yang Kai glanced at her. These two women weren’t good at all. The first thing he needed to do was figure out what kind of damned place this was before trying to escape.
Since this Young Lady Bing dared to use him to plot against Bei Limo, her strength was probably not low either. Since the city gate was on fire, it was best for him to avoid her as soon as possible. If he were to be caught up in this disaster, he's afraid he wouldn’t be able to protect himself, so he decided to let them fight amongst themselves.
“Unfilial disciple!” Lady Bing grit her teeth and shouted, “After not seeing you for tens of thousands of years, you’ve become more daring, daring to criticize this Senior.”
Bei Limo sneered, “Master, why haven’t you died yet? Disciple thought you had already died in the Ice Prison, but I didn’t expect to see you again.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai, who was looking around for a way out, couldn’t help laughing, “You two really are master and disciple!”
When Lady Bing had said that she and Bei Li Mo were master and disciple, Yang Kai had listened to her for the time being. Now it seemed that Lady Bing was not lying about this, but the truth was not what she had said. She said she was Bei Limo’s disciple, but the truth was the opposite…
She was actually Bei Limo’s Master!
A Demon Saint’s Master!
This was simply an ancient existence.
“What did you say to him?” Bei Limo asked as she stared at Lady Bing. When she saw the Profound Dark Needle, Bei Limo had already seen through everything. It was definitely when she had imprisoned Yang Kai in the Ice Prison that he had had a chance to interact with her master.
However, over the past tens of thousands of years, Lady Bing had not made a single move in the Ice Prison. She really thought that the other party had died. After all, she had personally investigated many times but had not found anything special about it. Now it seemed that Lady Bing had used some kind of Secret Technique to deceive her senses.
Lady Bing pursed her lips and smiled, “I didn’t say anything, I just told him about your story and asked him to do me a small favor…”
“Shameless!” Bei Limo coldly snorted, “Do you think you’ll win just because you dragged me here? Master, you’ve probably forgotten that I’m no longer the same person who obeyed your orders back then. I, Bei Limo… am a Demon Saint!”
Lady Bing nodded repeatedly, “I know, otherwise how could I have been imprisoned in this ice prison for tens of thousands of years?”
Bei Limo said, “If you were to hide in the Ice Prison, you might be able to live a long life. Since you dare to scheme against me, don’t blame this Queen for being impolite.”
Lady Bing smiled sweetly, “I teach you your skills, what do you think your chances of winning here are?”
“More than enough to kill you!” Bei Limo retorted.
“Please wait a moment!” Yang Kai was a bit bored listening to their bickering, so he raised his hand to stop them and looked around, “May I ask where this is?”
Lady Bing smiled and replied, “This is this Queen’s Soul Battlefield.”
Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, “Is this the Secret Technique sealed inside the Profound Dark Needle?”
“That’s right!” Lady Bing nodded, “Once the Soul Battlefield comes out, it will be able to drag the Souls of others into this place and fight with their Souls. If they don’t die… they won’t rest!”
Yang Kai couldn’t help nodding, “What an incredible Secret Technique!” This Young Lady Bing’s body was still in the eighteenth floor of ice prison, and she had been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years. Even if her body was still intact, it probably wouldn’t be of much use. In other words, even if she had a physical body, she wouldn’t be able to exert much strength.
However, this Soul Battlefield was different. Each of them had removed the shackles of their physical bodies and were fighting with their Souls, so Lady Bing was able to suppress Bei Limo’s advantage to the greatest extent. Since she had been preparing for this for tens of thousands of years, it was likely that her attainments in Divine Soul power were not to be underestimated.
“I have a proposal, but I don’t know if Lady Bing is willing to listen to it. You just want to kill Bei Limo, that slut. If you can agree to it, within ten breaths of time, I will take her life.”
Listening to him call her a slut without the slightest hesitation, Bei Limo’s face darkened, secretly gritting her teeth and determined to find an opportunity to teach Yang Kai a lesson.
The corner of Lady Bing’s mouth curled up, “Take her life within ten breaths? Brat, are you not afraid of the wind cutting off your tongue. What kind of cultivation do you have? Even this Queen doesn’t have this ability, let alone you.”
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “Of course I need your cooperation.”
Lady Bing asked, “How do we cooperate?”
“If you let me out, I promise I’ll chop her body into mincemeat!” Yang Kai said as he used both of his hands to form a blade and quickly chopped the air as if he was chopping meat.
As soon as these words came out, Bei Limo’s expression changed drastically as she grit her teeth and shouted, “Boy, you dare!”
If her physical body was destroyed, she would be finished, so when she heard Yang Kai say this, she became extremely nervous, afraid that Lady Bing would agree to his request.
“Hahaha…” Lady Bing suddenly burst into laughter.
Yang Kai also smiled and said, “What does Young Lady think of my proposal? Speaking of which, I’m also very innocent and accidentally got involved in your battle. This place has nothing to do with me, so I can’t help much here, so it’s better for me to go out and help from the outside.”
“This proposal is quite good,” Lady Bing nodded lightly, the smile on her face disappearing, “But I can’t agree to it.”
Yang Kai curled his lips and asked, “Why?”
Lady Bing narrowed her eyes as she stared at Bei Limo and said lightly, “If you cut her body into mincemeat, this Queen won’t be able to seize her body.”
Yang Kai blinked and couldn’t help laughing, “So that’s your plan.”
“You actually want to seize my body?” Bei Limo sneered, but since the other party had such intentions, she was somewhat relieved, otherwise she would have been afraid that Yang Kai would be released.
“Why not?” Lady Bing raised her brow slightly, “The cultivation methods you and I cultivate come from the same source. As long as I defeat you, it shouldn’t be too difficult to possess you. Moreover… this Queen is only taking back what belongs to her.”
“I’m just afraid you don’t have the ability!” Bei Limo sneered.
“I’ll only know if I have the ability to do so after I try,” Lady Bing smiled lightly, her aura slowly rising as a cold Law spread out from her body. She licked her red lips and said, “Disciple, do you know? That man called out your name before he died, wanting you to save him.”
