Rank-Seven Great Demon, Scarlet Thunder Suanni!

The frenzied Scarlet Thunder Suanni charged, its massive body crashing forward like a colossal mountain. The thick ice walls were as fragile as paper before it!! The earth trembled violently as shattered ice fragments flew through the air. Using sheer physical might alone, the great demon Scarlet Thunder Suanni shattered the surrounding void!! The deafening rumbles of the nine ice walls collapsing followed in unbroken succession. *Bang!!!* The white lion burst through the ice walls without a scratch. Yet what greeted it was an all-out strike from Jiuxiao's thrashing dragon tail!! *Boom!!!* Every inch of space in the dragon tail's wake collapsed completely!! Pengluo transformed into a ten-zhang giant, swinging both fists down toward the white lion's head with all his might!! A realm of frost spread beneath Meng Wanshu's feet, and the sword in her hand erupted with terrifying ice-blue luminescence. In just a breath, she had completed the second-stage release! Apocalypse: Frozen World! The void around her longsword was completely sealed in frost by the frigid chill. A wisp of cold vapor seemed to rise from the woman's lips... *Boom!!!* Terrifying Sword Heart Realm sword intent erupted with a roar!! The sword in her grip instantly lengthened into a one-zhang ice spike and thrust fiercely forward!! *Dong!!* Countless ice flakes burst from the blade as a horrifying beam of sword light pierced through the void, driving straight for the white lion's eyes!! *Boom!!!* Having just smashed through the ice walls, the white lion saw the incoming assault, and a sharp glint flashed through its eyes. A deep voice sounded once more. "You underestimate this king far too much!!" *Boom!!* Lightning surged around the Scarlet Thunder Suanni, and the fur across its entire body stood on end. Raising its paw, it swiped toward the thick dragon tail without the slightest fear! At the same time, it ducked low, narrowly dodging the thrusting sword. The fur across its entire body drew tightly together, turning into sharp lances that thrust violently toward Pengluo! *Bang!* *Roar!!* Scales flew from Jiuxiao's dragon tail, splashing dark-gold blood. Those razor-sharp lion claws tore straight through Jiuxiao's defenses. When the paw slammed into the tail, Jiuxiao's dragon tail abruptly ruptured!! *Bang!!* *Splat!!* The fur around the Scarlet Thunder Suanni's neck gathered into an ultra-sharp point. Wrapped in terrifying mutated spiritual power, it impaled straight through Pengluo's body! The tuft of fur piercing his body split into four prongs like fishhooks, anchoring firmly into Pengluo's flesh and hauling him back!! Seeing the Scarlet Thunder Suanni open its bloody maw to swallow Pengluo whole, light flashed beneath Meng Wanshu's feet. She appeared between them in an instant, and her sword slashed out a fierce arc of sword light straight across the beast's fur. Yet the moment the sword bit into the fur, the severed strands swelled against the wind, transforming into thousands of threads that coiled toward her!! *Swish!!* "Hahaha! Little girl, you're still too green!!" "Mistress!!" Pengluo slammed a fist into his own chest, shattering his body to break free of the beast's hold, and darted toward the massive white cocoon! Before Pengluo could reach Meng Wanshu, however, the Scarlet Thunder Suanni's eyes narrowed, its expression subtly shifting. *Boom!!!* Blinding ice-blue radiance burst from within the giant white cocoon. With a loud bang, countless sharp rays of sword light crisscrossed the void, sending countless white hairs drifting down like snow. Having broken free of the binding, Meng Wanshu glanced at Pengluo and said softly, "Step back. Go be with Jiuxiao." At this moment, an eerie ice-blue glow flickered in Meng Wanshu's eyes, and a mysterious snowflake imprint between her brows was slowly fading away. The Scarlet Thunder Suanni narrowed its massive eyes, its entire body tensing as it stared at the woman a hundred zhang away. "It has been many years since I last saw ice-attribute spiritual power pushed to such an extreme..." As it spoke, the Scarlet Thunder Suanni looked toward Jiuxiao, making no attempt to conceal the greed in its eyes. It had only broken through to rank seven not long ago, and though it had suffered some injuries, it was not something these little whelps could push around!! As a descendant of the ancient great demon Suanni, its desire for true dragon essence blood and a dragon core had reached its peak. When it looked at Pengluo, its eyes also gleamed with sharp light. A top-tier rank-six spirit would be of immense help in healing its wounds. Licking its lips with a crimson tongue, the Scarlet Thunder Suanni spoke in a muffled, resonant voice. "I don't know why you came looking for me, but... since you're here, leave your lives behind!!" *Boom!!!* The white lion's body underwent a subtle change. Its features grew even more savage, and the claws at its fingertips turned sharper. A trace of blood-red crept into its pupils, and its aura became far more frenzied—nothing like a great demon that had only just broken through! Pengluo's pupils contracted sharply, and he sent a heavy voice transmission: "Mistress, maybe... we should leave for now! This Scarlet Thunder Suanni isn't lacking in wit, and its strength is far beyond ours!" Yet neither Jiuxiao nor Meng Wanshu chose to retreat half a step! Demon power surged within Jiuxiao, and the injuries across his body began regenerating at a pace visible to the naked eye. Seeing this, Pengluo gritted his teeth, snapped off his own arm, and tossed it to Jiuxiao, cursing under his breath. "Let's fuck it up today!!" Jiuxiao opened his mouth and swallowed the section of radish, his wounds fully recovering in the blink of an eye. Pengluo leaped directly onto Jiuxiao's head. This time, Jiuxiao did not refuse him. Meng Wanshu said nothing. The frost flower imprint between her brows was simply vanishing at high speed. As the frost flower mark disappeared, the power within her erupted like a raging deluge!! *Boom!!* A pillar of ice shot straight into the sky from the ground, and the void beneath Meng Wanshu's feet froze over instantly!! In the blink of an eye, this power blanketed an area a hundred li around!! The entire hundred-li expanse was enveloped within a mysterious spatial force. Ice-Bound Absolute Domain! Space distorted in an instant. The white lion's eyes flickered, and scorching lightning erupted from its four limbs. It leaped into midair with a roar, the ice sheet beneath its paws shattering instantly. Only this time, it did not speak in human tongue to mock Meng Wanshu. For some reason, it clearly sensed a tremendous feeling of crisis from this Void Refining Realm woman before it. Under normal circumstances, it would have chosen to flee immediately! The higher a great demon's cultivation realm, the sharper its perception of danger. Yet... the Scarlet Thunder Suanni glanced at Jiuxiao in the distance and licked its lower jaw. *Dong!!* The space of the domain abruptly collapsed! The white lion vanished from its spot, and in a split second, a blazing beam of lightning shot straight toward Meng Wanshu! The woman lowered her eyes slightly, showing not the slightest hint of panic. She vanished from her position, her figure arcing around the lightning pillar like a bolt of light to teleport right beside the Scarlet Thunder Suanni. With a flick of her hand, fierce sword light erupted in an instant. *Boom!!!* A thousand-zhang rift was torn through the domain, reducing space to nothingness. The Scarlet Thunder Suanni abruptly fell back over a thousand zhang!! *Drip! Drip!!* Fresh blood stained the Scarlet Thunder Suanni's fur, but the newly opened wound was abruptly frozen over by a mysterious force!! Within the blink of an eye, the force enveloped it entirely, and a colossal ice sculpture materialized out of thin air! *Bang!!!* A burst of extraordinarily fierce, scorching lightning erupted from the Scarlet Thunder Suanni's brow, blasting through the freezing force. Yet waiting for it was an all-out claw strike from Jiuxiao, brimming with battle intent!!
