After stabilizing his stance, Leo narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, “The old guy’s strength is indeed formidable.”
Opposite him, Elder Thunder’s tall figure also shook, and his silver robe was slashed with several small cuts by the sword energy.
“You little brat, today I’ll end you!” Elder Thunder’s figure flickered and he stood in mid-air at the same height as Leo.
At that moment, the recently freed Frost Spirit Beast let out a huge roar and swallowed the now dim Frost Pearl. Its eyes, filled with hatred, locked onto the last elder.
The Frost Spirit Beast’s regenerative abilities were terrifying. In just a short time, its severe injuries had healed significantly.
With its massive body glowing with icy white light, the Frost Spirit Beast charged at the elder.
“Beast, you’re courting death!” Seeing the Frost Spirit Beast charging at him, the elder’s eye twitched and he shouted angrily.
In his view, the Frost Spirit Beast was already seriously injured. With his own strength, he believed he could at least knock it down again if not kill it outright.
The red hook in the elder’s hand glowed intensely.
In the next moment, the elder swung his hook at the charging Frost Spirit Beast.
The Frost Spirit Beast’s eyes were blood-red, showing no intention of dodging.
Splat!
The massive red hook pierced through the Frost Spirit Beast’s back.
Blood splattered from its back, and amidst the flying flesh, there seemed to be a burnt smell.
The Frost Spirit Beast ignored its back injury, its blood-red eyes unyielding. It continued to charge at the elder. When it was about eight or nine meters away, a powerful cold stream burst from its mouth.
The cold stream instantly enveloped the elder, covering his entire body with a layer of frost in an instant.
This sudden turn of events caused the elder’s face to change drastically. Just as he was about to use his spiritual power to break the ice, a massive mouth filled with icy breath engulfed him.
Then, the elder was swallowed whole by the enraged Frost Spirit Beast.
Witnessing this scene, Elder Frost, Elder Thunder, Gilberto, and Elder Warren all had drastic changes in their expressions.
Even Leo’s eyes flashed with surprise.
The Frost Spirit Beast endured an attack just to devour its enemy, which showed the depth of its hatred and anger.
A beast’s digestive system was extremely terrifying. Once a cultivator was swallowed by a beast, they would be digested without leaving even bone fragments behind, unless the beast swallowed someone far stronger than itself.
Judging by the lack of any unusual signs after the Frost Spirit Beast swallowed the elder, it was clear that the elder had no chance of survival and would become nourishment for the beast.
Of course, there was another way: killing the Frost Spirit Beast immediately and then cutting open its stomach to rescue the elder.
“You beast, I’ll kill you!” Elder Frost roared, his ice spikes glowing intensely as they transformed into countless small icy spikes that shot towards the Frost Spirit Beast.
The Frost Spirit Beast’s blood-red eyes glared at Elder Frost. Facing the barrage of icy spikes, it let out an angry roar. Its demonic power surged out, forming a massive ice shield in front of it.
The countless icy spikes continuously attacked the ice shield, causing fine cracks to appear on its surface.
The Frost Spirit Beast dodged to the side and charged at Elder Frost again.
It intended to use the same tactic to swallow Elder Frost as well.
Seeing the giant mouth of the Frost Spirit Beast coming at him, Elder Frost snorted coldly. He retracted his ice spikes and quickly formed a hand seal with both hands.
“Skyshatter Palm!”
As Elder Frost struck out with his palm, a massive ice crystal palm print formed and slammed down on the Frost Spirit Beast’s head.
Boom!
The ice crystal palm print struck heavily on the Frost Spirit Beast’s head, forcing its massive body to retreat over twenty meters.
The Frost Spirit Beast shook its head and its eyes turned even redder as it charged at Elder Frost again.
Man and beast clashed fiercely once more.
Leo knew that at this moment, the Frost Spirit Beast was definitely not a match for Elder Frost. If the beast was killed, he would have to face both Elder Frost and Elder Thunder alone.
Therefore, Leo had to deal with Elder Thunder before Elder Frost could kill the Frost Spirit Beast.
Of course, Elder Thunder also wanted to kill Leo as quickly as possible. He no longer held back and shouted, “Thunder God Body!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Thunder’s entire body erupted with lightning. His figure rapidly grew taller under the lightning’s embrace.
In just two or three seconds, Elder Thunder reached a height of three meters.
At this moment, Elder Thunder looked like a giant made of lightning, exuding an extremely powerful aura and pressure.
Feeling this pressure, Leo’s heart sank. He hadn’t expected that this old man had also trained in Body Cultivation.
“Boy, I’m going to tear you apart!” Elder Thunder’s eyes were filled with lightning as he spoke with murderous intent.
Then, Elder Thunder transformed into a torrent of lightning and charged at Leo.
At the same time, the silver staff in Elder Thunder’s hand erupted with lightning runes, transforming into thick lightning staff shadows that attacked Leo.
Facing the barrage of lightning staff shadows, Leo did not retreat. The icy white sword light of his Dragon Sword surged as he met the attack head-on.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fierce sword light and lightning staff shadows intertwined. Each collision produced a shocking shockwave.
The falling snowflakes in the sky were instantly vaporized by the powerful energy of the shockwaves.
Seeing that Leo could hold his own against Elder Thunder’s attacks, Elder Warren’s eyes flashed with coldness. He reached into his Storage Sack and grabbed something.
A long blood-red needle appeared in his hand.
The blood-red needle was extremely thin and slightly transparent. If not viewed up close, it seemed almost invisible.
The tip of the blood-red needle had a faint dark hue.
Clearly, this blood-red needle was coated with a deadly poison.
This needle was Elder Warren’s trump card, known as the Blood Fiend Death Needle. It was a one-time-use top-grade poison weapon.
As long as its tip pierced a cultivator’s skin, even without drawing blood, the poison would immediately enter their body.
Then their flesh would start to rot rapidly from where they were pricked until they turned into a pile of foul-smelling flesh.
It was no exaggeration to say that once hit by this needle, even a high-level Spirit Saint would be unable to expel the poison quickly enough to survive.
Elder Warren had once used this needle to successfully kill a mid-stage Spirit Saint expert.
Holding the blood needle in his right hand, Elder Warren coldly watched Leo and Elder Thunder battling fiercely.
Boom!
Another intense clash occurred as lightning staff shadows and icy white sword light collided fiercely once more.
Both combatants were forced apart by the powerful impact and retreated backward rapidly.
This was exactly the opportunity Elder Warren had been waiting for. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he silently flicked his right hand.
The blood needle silently disappeared into thin air and shot towards Leo’s back heart.
As Leo retreated rapidly, he suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger wash over him.
When the blood needle was five meters away from Leo’s back, a translucent blue water light suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterward, a blue water wall materialized.
