The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf, one head releasing ice pillars, another spraying frozen water, and a third exhaling cold breath.
Any Qiguang Knight that was struck found their speed greatly reduced, trembling ceaselessly, and some even turned directly into ice sculptures!
"Let’s finish this quickly." From behind the many knights, Herman, draped in the Truth Cloak, frowned, "Too many injuries are quite troublesome."
Beside him, Pla, known as Justice, grinned, "Alright, I’ve been itching for a fight."
These two were indeed the pair who had previously been severely wounded and nearly destroyed by the Azure Dragon Emperor Xiahou True Monarch.
Yet at this moment, not only had the injured Tower recovered, but even Justice, who had been crippled, seemed to have bounced back.
"I’ll go." Herman stepped out, "You just got saved by the Divine Coin; if you fall again, you won’t have such luck."
Pla frowned, aware that Herman was dissatisfied with them being repelled by Xiahou before, and coldly snorted.
"I was constrained and couldn’t display my full strength; I’m more frustrated than you are, Herman. You’ll eventually face someone who restrains you too!"
Herman said no more, soaring into the sky, and within a few breaths, he hovered high above the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf.
With arms outstretched, a ghostly blue spirit light gathered between his hands, transforming into a massive blue radiance that shot towards the ground!
"Thud, thud, thud..."
In the blink of an eye, the blue radiance that reached the ground solidified rapidly, forming a steel cage that trapped the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf inside!
The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf let out a roar of surprise and anger, and its frigid body surged forward, crashing into the azure steel cage before it.
However, with a "clang," the incredibly sturdy body of the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf failed to break the cage but was instead knocked back two steps!
"Roar?!"
The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf was immediately enraged, and its three mouths, spewing freezing water, flashed with white light. With a slight build-up, it transformed into a high-frequency oscillating Cold Current Blade, striking at the cage!
Though the steel cage was solid, the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf was no easy opponent. The sounds of "clang, clang, clang" rang out continuously, and within moments, it seemed on the verge of severing the two azure steel pillars before it.
Yet, at this moment, numerous blue radiances "whizzed" down from above!
Detecting danger, the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf hurriedly backed away!
The blue lights struck the ground, once again transforming into hard steel with a faint azure sheen, which formed another layer of blue steel cage inside!
Yet before the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf could steady itself, waves from above rolled in.
Herman’s hands pulsed with blue light, sending even faster transforming steel from light, shooting down into the cage.
"Roar!" The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf, furious beyond measure, repeatedly dodged.
But as the blue light fell segment by segment, its movability quickly diminished until there was scarcely any room left to evade!
As for outside... the steel cage entangled it layer upon layer!
"Damn humans! How dare you toy with me?!" The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf glared up at Herman and furiously spat human words, "Die then, Triple Ice Roar of the Ice Hell!"
From the three heads of the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf, intense cold light converged simultaneously.
First, boundless cold breaths surged forth, followed by tides of freezing water, and finally, the ultimate cold ice rapidly solidified and spread.
Three states of extreme cold power, within just two breaths, turned the tide and completely wrapped and froze the dozens of blue steel bars forming the prison!
The sound of "crack, crack" echoed continuously, and shortly, cracks appeared along all the blue steel making up the prison.
The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf looked skyward, a human-like cold smile on its face, "Cursed Qiguang humans!"
Yet at this time, a strong cross Holy Light burst above from the sky.
"Only unbreakable steel can ascend to the Supreme Tower." Blue light shimmered over Herman as he landed atop the frozen blue steel, "Twisted slaughter, Steel Flower!"
In a moment, all the azure steel burst with more intense blue light, and within the ice came the sound of "crack, crack" once more.
But this time, it wasn’t the blue steel shattering from cold... it was the ice itself cracking!
The azure steel twisted and stretched like agitated pythons, writhing within the ice like a dance, crushing the cold ice into pieces within just a few breaths!
"What?!"
The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf’s expression changed drastically, and, frightened by Herman’s True Form Release high above, it attempted to rapidly retreat.
With Herman’s single gesture, masses of freed blue steel shot forth, entwining the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf!
"Extreme Cold Ice Shield!"
The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf, terrified, quickly projected an Extreme Cold Ice Shield over itself, blocking much of the blue steel’s bind.
And overhead, Herman lifted his left hand, azure light swirling, as more light surged from his palm, spiraling into a malevolent steel lance!
"Go!"
With a low shout from Herman, the heavy steel lance rapidly descended to pierce the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf!
The Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf, terrified beyond belief, surged wildly with its freezing power, struggling desperately.
Yet the azure steel on the ground held tightly like wildly growing vines, anchoring it in place...
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf was impaled by the steel lance, pinned dead to the ground, dying violently on the spot!
Seeing the strongest Ice Prison Three-headed Wolf slain by Herman, the rest of the Fiery Sun Bird, Eight-legged Beast, and other high-level Star Beasts were struck with fear, scattering in all directions to flee.
"Trying to run?!"
With a cold expression, Herman raised his hand, sending the azure steel after the remaining star beasts like swarming vines...
