Elder Thunder stepped into the void, his figure shooting forward with a burst of speed, his right palm carrying a thunderbolt aimed at Leo.
In the air, the two figures collided in an instant.
“Boy, die!” Elder Thunder’s thunderball was about to strike Leo’s head.
But just as the thunderball was about to make contact, Elder Thunder’s pupils suddenly contracted.
In Leo’s left hand, there was now an ice-sculpted lotus flower.
At the sight of the lotus, Elder Thunder and the surrounding space seemed to freeze for a moment.
As astonishment turned to horror on Elder Thunder’s face, the ice-white lotus collided with his thunderball.
In an instant, the thunderball, filled with dense thunder energy, was frozen into an ice ball and shattered with a “bang.”
Simultaneously, an extremely cold force surged into Elder Thunder’s body.
Elder Thunder felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his entire body instantly covered in a layer of ice.
“You little brat, you actually have…”
At this moment, Elder Thunder couldn’t complete a sentence. He hurriedly mobilized the spiritual energy in his dantian to resist the invading cold.
However, Leo gave him no time or opportunity. A purple light flashed across Elder Thunder’s throat.
Elder Thunder’s world turned upside down; the sky and the icy valley spun as his consciousness quickly faded.
A head fell from the sky.
Then the headless body also plummeted.
The Dragon Elephant Illusion Spirit Art, Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus, and Purple Radiance Dagger successfully killed Elder Thunder.
“Elder Thunder!!”
Elder Frost, who was fighting with the Frost Spirit Beast, saw Elder Thunder being killed. He was stunned at first, then his old face filled with disbelief as he shouted angrily.
“Elder Thunder Grand Elder!”
Elder Warren, who was battling Seraphina, was also shocked beyond belief.
Elder Thunder Grand Elder had actually been killed!
Gilberto, who was fighting Puppet General, saw Elder Thunder’s falling corpse and head. His face twisted in horror and disbelief.
Elder Thunder, one of the four Grand Elders of the Runecarver Sect, was powerful and highly respected. Even Gilberto didn’t dare disrespect him.
But now, the mighty Elder Thunder Grand Elder had been killed by Leo. It was unimaginable.
In the air, Leo’s Dragon Sword gleamed coldly, blood dripping from its blade.
In his left hand, the ice lotus was pure and flawless, like the purest ice sculpture in the world, exuding extreme cold.
“A Celestial Artifact! It’s a Celestial Artifact!” Elder Frost recognized what Leo held in his left hand.
Elder Warren and Gilberto also focused on the ice lotus in Leo’s hand.
“You guessed right,” Leo said coldly to Elder Frost.
Elder Frost’s expression changed to one of greed and desire.
Compared to Leo’s Celestial Artifact, nothing else mattered-neither the Ice Soul Fruit nor the Frost Spirit Beast mount or beast eggs.
“Boy, if word gets out that you possess a Celestial Artifact, you won’t live long even with nine lives,” Elder Frost threatened. “If you’re smart, hand it over now!”
“Old fool, are you out of your mind?” Leo sneered coldly.
“Boy, aren’t you afraid we’ll spread the news about your Celestial Artifact?” Elder Frost’s tone was full of menace.
Leo’s face was icy as he declared proudly, “Since I’ve revealed this item, I never intended to let you leave here alive!”
With that, Leo gently lifted his left hand, and the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus floated a meter in front of him.
He then waved his right hand to put away the Dragon Sword.
“Extreme Cold Domain!” Leo shouted as he formed hand seals. Spiritual energy surged into the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus.
The floating lotus grew several times larger, emitting a brilliant icy light.
The icy light transformed into a huge ice-white barrier that enveloped the valley where they stood.
Inside the barrier, ice crystals fell instead of snowflakes.
Leo pointed at the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus, and three petals detached from it.
The three petals turned into ice-white streaks of light, flying towards Elder Frost, Elder Warren, and Gilberto.
Wherever the petals passed, even space seemed to freeze, leaving long icy trails.
Elder Frost and the others froze at the sight of the incoming petals.
They sensed extreme danger from the ice-white petals.
Elder Warren reacted first. With a wave of his right hand, dozens of red Jade Talismans flew from his Storage Sack.
The Jade Talismans shattered in mid-air, forming dozens of large red flame shields.
The shields lined up to block the petal.
The petal struck the shields, freezing and shattering them instantly.
The petal continued forward relentlessly.
Elder Warren’s face showed fear as he retreated rapidly.
The petal reached him in a flash.
A cold aura of death enveloped Elder Warren.
“Elder Frost Grand Elder, save me!” Elder Warren cried out for help.
But Elder Frost had no time for him.
Bang!
The petal struck Elder Warren’s chest and pierced through his back.
There was no blood spray; in an instant, Elder Warren turned into an ice sculpture with no life left.
On the other side, two ice-white petals closed in on Elder Frost and Gilberto.
Elder Frost waved his sleeve, sending out an ice-white streak of light.
The light quickly expanded into a huge ice-white shield covered with intricate ice runes-a top-tier spiritual weapon for defense.
Bang!
The petal struck the shield.
The runes flickered and then shattered along with the shield.
Seeing the petal break through his shield, Elder Frost retreated while pouring spiritual energy into forming a thick ice wall in front of him.
The petal broke through the ice wall but slowed down and dimmed before hitting Elder Frost’s chest.
His clothes tore apart to reveal an ice armor that finally stopped the petal’s attack.
The dimmed petal flew back weakly.
“Ugh!”
The powerful impact made Elder Frost spit blood despite surviving.
Seeing that he hadn’t killed Elder Frost, Leo frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Gilberto.
