Chapter Ninety-Seven: Frosty Sable

  "Tian Lang." Shen Yue suddenly looked up at Qin Hao standing on the tree and said excitedly: "You've finally come."

  "Tian Lang, you're fast, drag one of the Ice Weasels with you, we'll focus on taking down one first!" Ye Ling also shouted loudly, his face flushed bright red.

  Qin Hao saw that Xie Feng and Zeng Hua didn't say anything, but they also secretly let out a breath, and suddenly understood what they were thinking in their hearts.

  He pointed at one of the Ice Ferrets and said with a faint smile: "I'll take care of this one."

  "Alright, let's go up." Ye Ling suddenly shouted and led the charge towards the demonic beast behind them. Shen Yue, Zeng Hua, and Xie Feng followed closely in a triangular formation, also heading towards the demonic beast.

  Another ice weasel's eyes rolled around, as if seeing through their map. With a sharp and long cry, its long body shot forward, as if to go support the front lines.

  "It's not that simple."

  Qin Hao shook his head, chuckled lightly and stepped on the branch under his foot. His body shot forward violently, overtaking the others, and blocked the way in front of Han Bingxue.

  "Broken."

  A fierce gust of fist wind burst out from his right fist and struck towards Han Bing's abdomen.

  Bang!

  This punch was incredibly fast, and Han Bingxiao, who had wanted to dodge, was tightly locked in by Qin Hao's fist and was immediately knocked out.

  However, Qin Hao's face didn't have a single hint of joy. A thin layer of ice had formed on his fists, and his body was also covered in a sparse scattering of ice crystals. A chill that seemed to seep into his bones spread towards his dantian.

  If it weren't for Qin Hao having been frozen by that strange fruit before, his body had developed some resistance, otherwise he would have been defeated on the spot.

  Qin Hao took a deep breath, and the Flame Technique was fully activated. The fiery yuan force flowed throughout his body, causing the ice crystals on him to melt into white mist. The thin layer of ice on his hands turned into water droplets that dripped down.

  The cold air in the muscles and veins was also forced out for the most part.

  The arctic fox sprang up from the ground, its pupils filled with a bloody red glow, baring its teeth and letting out a low growl. The punch just now hadn't even left a scratch on its body.

  Qin Hao furrowed his brow, clenched his fists and charged forward once again.

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  Nor did he see how the Ice Weasel moved, but white arrows formed by the icy air appeared one after another beside it and shot towards Qin Hao.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Qin Hao's fist was surrounded by a fiery aura, with one punch after another, like an endless tide, the more he fought, the stronger his momentum became.

  The arrows that filled the sky were of little use under Qin Hao's fists. Every time Qin Hao threw a punch, several white arrows would explode with a loud noise and turn into a cloud of white mist.

  White mist floated in the air, and a lot of it hung on Qin Hao's body surface, making him look like an ice man.

  However, Qin Hao did not stop at all, his fist was like an arrow, his speed was like lightning, and he quickly rushed to the front of the demon beast.

  "Three consecutive breaks of shattered gold."

  Three indistinct fists overlapped in an instant, fiercely striking the abdomen of the demon beast.

  Bang!

  The momentum was even more terrifying, and the protective Xuanqi on the surface of the Frost Leopard collapsed by half a layer. However, it still didn't work. The Frost Leopard continued to use that force, its body bouncing back several meters, escaping Qin Hao's attack range.

  In mid-air, Han Bingxiao didn't forget to shoot out dozens of icy arrows again.

  Qin Hao's body moved slightly, like a flowing light, and he drifted out of the arrow net sideways.

  Qin Hao's expression was slightly solemn, his martial skills were not weak, but the demon beast's protective aura was like a suit of fine iron armor, hard and unbreakable.

  What's even more troublesome is that this demon beast's recovery ability is simply too powerful. Qin Hao personally witnessed, in the instant he dodged, the layer of protective aura on the demon beast's body that had already collapsed, once again recovered.

  This speed is terrifying!

  Qin Hao's gaze stagnated for a moment, and he flipped out a golden seal from his ring finger, fully activating it.

  A layer of golden light rose into the air, swirling for a moment before splitting into two parts that covered Qin Hao's left and right arms, gradually condensing into a fixed shape.

  Two golden arm guards suddenly took shape, with a majestic style and gold patterns.

  It is the second-level Sealing Mystical Array - Golden Arm. Previously, the Golden Arm could only cover a single hand, but with Qin Hao's progress in the Sealing Mystical Array, it can now cover both hands completely.

  At the front end of the golden arm, two more sections are extended, sharp and sharp, like the claws of a monster, emitting a cold glow.

  With his golden arm on his body, Qin Hao's aura changed, like a sword out of its scabbard, wherever the blade pointed, all retreated.

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Qin Hao concentrated his strength in the soles of his feet, and with each step, there was a loud explosion. Faster and faster, with each step, a large amount of mud was blown open, flying to both sides.

  Han Bingjiu let out another shrill cry, resorting to his old trick. The arrowheads hovered in the air like a swarm of locusts, all pointing at Qin Hao.

  As the icy lynx advanced, thousands of arrows were finally shot out. The sharp and piercing sound that could pierce eardrums merged into a deafening roar that shook the heavens.

  Shen Yue and Ye Ling couldn't help but turn their heads back for a glance before turning away again.

  Qin Hao's arms danced like a windmill, drawing out a golden glow. The dense arrows, like raindrops, were all blocked by Qin Hao.

  The figure of the ice weasel was finally near. Two huge palms, shrouded in an icy aura, pushed towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao clenched his fists and countered fiercely.

  Bang!

  After a brief stalemate, the balance line completely collapsed. Qin Hao's fist directly pierced through the demon beast's palm, passing through its body and punching it into a hole.

  White blood flowed out and dripped onto the ground, forming into ice flowers.

  Qin Hao withdrew his hand, and the demon beast's body fell to the ground. After twitching twice, it stopped moving altogether. The golden arm also quickly dissipated completely, returning to nothingness.

  Qin Hao sat down under a tree, recovering his internal strength. His eyes scanned the battle situation of the other four people.

  The four of them were indeed powerful warriors with a profound level of martial arts, their strength was not low, and the other Ice Fox was quickly forced to retreat repeatedly.

  As Ye Ling thrust the cold light of his sword into the chest of the demon beast, another ice weasel also completely declared its death.

  "Alright, go help Tian Lang." Ye Ling drew his sword and said to the remaining three people.

  Shen Yue also had an epiphanic look on her face as she turned around with the other three and ran towards Qin Hao's direction.

  They had only walked a few steps when they completely froze. At this moment, another corpse of a Frost Fox was already lying on the ground, while Qin Hao was sitting casually in one place, looking at them with relish.

  The four of them ran to the side of the monster's corpse in disbelief, sizing it up for a moment before seemingly believing the reality in front of them.

  "Tian Lang, you single-handedly took care of this demon beast?" Ye Ling's face showed an expression of utter incredulity.

  "Hmm." Qin Hao nodded casually, his expression calm and composed.

  The other three were even more shocked. The four of them hunted and killed a demon beast, but they were slower than Qin Hao alone. Was this the same level of martial artist?

  Shen Yue's eyes were full of deep meaning. Xie Feng and Zeng Hua's gaze towards Qin Hao was increasingly fearful.

  "Alright, alright." Ye Ling burst out laughing and patted Qin Hao's shoulder, saying warmly: "That Glacial Fox is yours then. When we get back, I can give you even more rewards."

  Qin Hao thanked him and accepted it without much fanfare.

  "I'll put the two Ice Weasels away first." Ye Ling smiled again, turned around, and when his back was to Qin Hao, a flash of cold light flickered in his eyes.

  He lowered his head slightly, and his gaze quietly drifted towards Shen Yue. The two exchanged a glance, and a hint of a sly smile simultaneously appeared at the corners of their mouths. It quickly disappeared without a trace.

  All this happened in an instant, so that the other three did not notice a single thing.

  "Tian Lang, it seems we're the ones who need your help instead." Shen Yue walked forward, her small face flushing as she said: "Your martial skills are so formidable, can you spare some time to teach me?"

  Her voice was soft and gentle, with a blush on her face, just like a shy and timid woman.

  Xie Feng and Zeng Hua's eyes met, and they both felt a surge of anger.

  Qin Hao furrowed his brow and pondered her intention. After a moment of contemplation, he said casually, "We'll talk about it another time!"

  The words were quite cold.

  The smile on Shen Yue's face dimmed a lot, she forced a smile at Qin Hao and said: "Okay then." After saying this, she lowered her head, biting her red lips with her teeth, not knowing what she was thinking.

  "By the way, didn't you say that there was only one Xue Bing Xiao?" Qin Hao did not want to dwell on this topic and changed the subject.

  "I also find it a bit strange." Ye Ling gathered his things and stood beside them, answering hastily: "Last time I came, there was only one, but somehow there are more now. It's lucky too, if not for you, I would have almost fallen to them."

  "Is the task considered complete now?" Qin Hao raised his head to gaze at the sky, where the night had already covered half of the heavens, and countless stars twinkled like grains of sand.

  "It's time to go." Ye Ling looked around and said, "It's too dangerous to stay here at night. I know a shortcut that can get us out of this forest quickly."

  A few people picked up their things and followed Ye Ling's footsteps out of Wan Shou Gu.
