BXBX NOVEL Chapter 328: Frozen Heart!
In an instant, the ice spears surrounding him shot towards Wang Xiao with the speed of bullets, slicing through the air with a chilling hiss.
Crash!
Boom!
Boom!
"Survived, huh?" Valen\'s grin faded as the ice spears shattered just inches from Wang Xiao. "It seems you pack a punch too! Haha, this is going to be interesting."
"Indeed."
In the next second, a voice came from behind, freezing Valen in his tracks.
"!!"
"Arrghhhh! BASTARD, LET GO OF ME!" Valen\'s body convulsed violently as if his soul were being ripped from his flesh.
Wang Xiao had descended like a predator, hands clamped around Valen\'s head, attempting to crush it from within.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Valen\'s stomach twisted, an unbearable agony searing through him as his vision blurred.
"Ahhhhh—!"
His eyes bulged wide, blood streaming from them, desperately trying to withstand the crushing force.
His fists clenched tightly, veins throbbing, as he fought to prevent his body from exploding like a watermelon. Just before—
"!"
"DAMN!"
"DAMN!"
"DAMN YOU, PUNK!"
"Argh... my eyes..." Valen screamed in agony. In his frantic struggle to save himself, he had gouged out his own eyes.
Blood streamed down his face, and he looked horrifying as he leaped above the ice, thrashing in desperation.
"I\'ll kill you! I\'ll tear you apart!" Valen roared, his voice filled with pain and fury. "You think you can beat me?"
Around him, a series of ice spikes materialized, their sharp edges glistening menacingly. "You can\'t run, bug! I am Valen, a general of Gabriel\'s army!"
Wang Xiao had already retreated, now standing tens of meters away.
He stared in bewilderment at the sight of the huge man jumping like a maddened monkey. "What kind of idiot is this?" Wang Xiao muttered under his breath. "He\'s lost his mind..."
Valen continued to scream, his voice echoing through the frozen landscape. "I\'ll make you suffer! You and your pathetic resistance!"
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes, his mind troubled as ice spikes suddenly began to barrage from all directions around Valen.
"I need to end this quickly," he thought.
"You won\'t escape me!" Valen howled, his remaining senses sharpening with his growing rage. "No one defies Gabriel\'s army and lives!"
Wang Xiao took a deep breath as the ice spikes, like bullets from a minigun, fired aimlessly in all directions.
He dodged them with agility, each spike narrowly missing him, while Valen leaped about in fury, his mind still ringing with pain and rage.
"I can\'t let up," Wang Xiao thought, determination steeling his resolve. "I have to finish this now."
"Enough of this blue monkey," Wang Xiao muttered, determination hardening his resolve.
With a swift motion, he turned and glanced around, his eyes locking onto massive blocks of ice, each tens of times his size.
Instantly, they began to float, shimmering in the cold air.
"Huh?" Valen, straining to sense everything around him, froze abruptly.
He felt an immense force approaching, but it was already too late.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
In an instant, the colossal ice blocks slammed into him, crushing Valen and forming a massive sphere engulfing him.
The force was equivalent to a hundred elephants, shaking the ground violently.
Any normal man would have had his bones reduced to dust under such immense pressure.
"Strange... All these hell spirits lose their minds the moment they face pressure or a difficult situation," Wang Xiao observed, a frown creasing his brow. This wasn\'t the first time he had seen a hell spirit stronger than him lose its composure.
Every time he fought with a hell spirit, they seemed to lack stability of thought and descend into madness.
Yin Yue\'s voice echoed in his mind, explaining, [They don\'t have proper control over their host\'s brain. The stronger the hell spirit, the more stable it is after taking over its host\'s body. But their intelligence isn\'t stable due to the weakness of the human body. They channel most of their energy into strengthening the host\'s physical form, leaving their minds vulnerable.
This makes them susceptible if you disrupt their thoughts with confusing scenarios.]
"!"
Wang Xiao nodded at her explanation before asking, \'Why didn\'t you warn me of a hell spirit approaching?\' It had spoiled his time with Aurora.
Yin Yue\'s voice was calm and measured. [Aurora was nearby, and you are going to war. You need to be ready in advance; surprises can come when you \'least\' expect them. Also, I have ensured that they can\'t detect my presence inside you and wanted to test if it was working.]
Wang Xiao fell silent, processing her words. He then turned and spotted Aurora, curiously standing and glancing toward the massive ice sphere.
He assumed Aurora had the same reasoning, so Yin Yue\'s actions made sense.
In the end, he had to adjust his mentality, accepting that he was at war and that any wrong move could be fatal.
With renewed resolve, he moved toward the sphere to recover Valen\'s body.
His hands clasped behind his back, he approached the sphere.
It was a striking sight, the ice glistening in the cold light, forming a nearly perfect sphere that towered over him.
If not for its massive size and the deadly intent behind it, it would have been almost beautiful.
"..."
Seeing him walk close to the sphere, Aurora\'s eyes blinked, a flicker of anticipation crossing her face.
Despite this, Wang Xiao continued forward, his steps steady until he reached the sphere. Suddenly, his expression froze.
A hand shot out from inside the sphere, pressing directly against his chest.
Wang Xiao looked down in shock as his chest rapidly froze, ice spreading in an instant.
The chilling cold reached his heart, and within seconds, his heart stopped beating.
"!""
"!"
_____
Inside the sphere, cramped in suffocating darkness, Valen\'s body had sustained multiple fractures and broken bones, yet they were knitting back together at an astonishing rate.
\'Hahaha! With my trump card, he\'ll be dead in a second!\' he snickered inwardly, reveling in the absurdity of anyone thinking he could be vanquished by the very ice he ruled over.
His trump card, the Frozen Heart, was a deadly secret even Aurora and Gabriel were unaware of.
With just a glare, he could freeze an opponent\'s heart, snuffing out their life in an instant.
But this time, he went a step further. Ensuring physical contact, he pressed his icy hand against Wang Xiao\'s chest, triggering the deadly technique to guarantee his opponent\'s demise.
Victory seemed assured, and Valen\'s thoughts echoed with triumphant grin.
