Chapter 877: Chapter 819: Charge! (Vote for Yue)

Lu Nanzhi and Jiang Yuebai left the cave, with constant rumbling in the distance and the ground trembling underfoot. The frigid air soared into a howling wind, causing snow to slide down the mountains, indicating that there were ice demons all around launching frontal assaults, aiming to force their way through.

Lu Nanzhi couldn’t help but reflect that the difference between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan lies in this. Even at the True Demon Realm, with intellect and the ability to think, most demons would still charge forward without hesitation when encountering obstacles, using all their strength without considering the long-term consequences.

The demon’s logic is that if they can’t overcome the current obstacles, thinking about what’s ahead is pointless. They take one step at a time, lacking the complexity of humans.

Thus, in battles between the Human and Demon Clans, demons often start off invincible with great ferocity but lack staying power, while humans can hold on longer and wait for the opportune moment to counterattack.

The complete withdrawal of Taiwei Star Alliance, and its gradual recapture, demonstrates the differences between the two clans.

As for Shen Mingjing, he embodies the human approach, ensuring thorough preparation before striking decisively, unlike the reckless demons who cannot endure without seeing immediate rewards and success.

Both she and Little Bai are human, so even though they are presently restrained by demons, it’s no big deal. They patiently await the right moment to counterstrike.

Lu Nanzhi released her Divine Sense to explore, realizing the mountain was full of tall snow monsters, covered in snow, capable of instantly forming ice cones larger than a person with immense strength.

There were vast numbers, making it difficult to deal with, and from previous brief skirmishes, Lu Nanzhi discovered that these snow monsters were integrated with the entire snow mountain, where as many as she destroyed would be "born" from the mountain, unless the mountain was removed completely.

Unclear about what lies ahead, it’s best for them to conserve their strength and avoid direct confrontation for now.

Little Bai typically acts with caution, surely she would also...

"Charge!!!"

Just as Lu Nanzhi was contemplating how to quietly bypass this massive mountain, Jiang Yuebai suddenly leapt up in a charge toward the mountain.

Completely in demon style!

With quick reflexes, Lu Nanzhi dashed forward, covering Jiang Yuebai’s mouth, and swiftly dragged her away, restraining her in her arms.

"Mmm! Mmm!" Jiang Yuebai flailed her arms wildly.

A subconscious trust in Lu Nanzhi kept Jiang Yuebai from any defense or resistance and allowed Lu Nanzhi to quickly drag her to the passageway between two mountains.

The chilling wind sliced like knives, slicing back and forth, and a vast snow mist obscured the vision, revealing no endpoint.

"Why didn’t you let me charge up there?" Jiang Yuebai angrily asked through gritted teeth, albeit in a lowered voice.

Lu Nanzhi sighed, "Our goal is the Holy Ancestor Pond, wasting energy and time here is not cost-effective. Little Bai, you’re human, not a demon."

Jiang Yuebai snorted twin streams of warm air through her nose and grumbled, "Being human is really troublesome. Charging isn’t a problem since we can handle it, after all. What does it have to do with being human or demon? Why be confined by these so-called rules?"

Seeing Lu Nanzhi frown, Jiang Yuebai quickly changed her tone.

"But what you say makes sense, the Holy Ancestor Pond and the Heaven-Reaching Demon Treasure are crucial. I’ll use my brain a bit, let’s move. You lead the way, I’ll follow you."

Lu Nanzhi sighed again, feeling that Little Bai enjoyed being a demon, thus her memory might have been sealed partly by choice.

Lu Nanzhi walked ahead sword in hand, cautiously watching the surroundings, knowing there must be ambushes and threats in the pass between the mountains.

In the appearance of an Ice Demon, Jiang Yuebai followed aimlessly behind, recalling the moves Lu Nanzhi had shown her earlier, she started experimenting in secret.

Although she couldn’t remember clearly, by emptying her mind she would naturally perform them without thinking.

Her right hand gathered a ball of Water Thunder; the black lightning crackled, tasting it she found it numbing, not tasty!

Her left hand gathered a ball of Jian Palace Thunder with Supreme Yang Thunder, causing the cold wind to burst fiercely around them; Jiang Yuebai quickly dispersed it.

Lu Nanzhi glanced back at her, Jiang Yuebai responded with a smile of apology, yet she wasn’t about to change, her white hair swayed into snake-like braids, hissing fiercely around.

For a while, she transformed into multiple slender arms with the Thousand Leaves All Things Hand technique, each hand combatting the others on her back.

Jiang Yuebai was well accustomed to multitasking, uninfluenced by her own hair tangling behind her, continuing to attempt the Netherworld Ghost Fire and Phoenix True Fire.

Once the gray Netherworld Ghost Fire lit up, the surrounding temperature plummeted, becoming gloomier and colder. With a thought, the gray Netherworld Ghost Fire covered her, forming a Flame Armor.

She twisted her wrist, having the Netherworld Ghost Fire borrow the Fire Talisman’s ’Flame Soldier’ power to transform into a spear.

Jiang Yuebai casually thrust it twice, naturally executing the White Dragon Spear Technique.

Clamping her palm, the fire spear disbanded and reformed into a long saber.

The techniques she had completely forgotten were gradually being rediscovered.

Having played enough with the Netherworld Ghost Fire, she tried the Phoenix True Fire next. The moment the golden-red flames ignited; her entire arm caught ablaze, startling Jiang Yuebai. She frantically shook her arm to extinguish the fire, almost getting completely burnt.

Again, Lu Nanzhi turned back to look at her, Jiang Yuebai grinned foolishly.

Phoenix True Fire acts against Demonic Qi, like a natural enemy, exuding murderous intent, uncontrollable.

What else did she know?

As Jiang Yuebai pondered, the cold wind around her coalesced into a strange fish-like shape.

Haha~

The laughter of the strange fish echoed through the pass, drifting far. Lu Nanzhi suddenly turned around, causing Jiang Yuebai to quickly grab the strange fish and stuff it into her mouth.

"I sense something ahead. Be careful," Lu Nanzhi warned seriously.

Jiang Yuebai nodded vigorously, the fish tail still poking out of her mouth.

Lu Nanzhi turned back, sweeping her sword, precipitating two whirlwinds beside her, accumulating the power of the ice and soon forming two identical ice replicas of herself.

During the twelve years Jiang Yuebai feasted in the Mirage Demon Sea, Lu Nanzhi learned a lot in the Ice Demon Territory.

In the howling snow and wind, there lay a looming giant figure in the front of the pass, motivating Jiang Yuebai to rack her brain for other techniques to try while craning her neck forward.

As they approached, a giant Demon God Ice Sculpture appeared in front of them, over a hundred feet high, clad in battle armor, with a fierce face and double horns on its shoulders, glaring down at the land in the roaring wind and falling snow, intimidating all who gaze up at it.

Lu Nanzhi stretched an arm to block Jiang Yuebai, while the two ice clones on either side of her mirrored her actions and charged up the mountain walls around the pass, aiming to dash past the ice sculpture on either side.

Suddenly, the ice shells on the double horns of the sculpture cracked, and the horns extended like rapidly growing tree branches, bristled with thorns, swiftly nailing the two ice clones against the wall.

Bang!

The two ice clones exploded into shards of ice, deepening the frown on Lu Nanzhi’s brow.

Crack!

Crack, crack!

The double horns gradually retracted, and the Demon God Ice Sculpture awakened, shedding its ice shell and striding stiffly toward them, its aura rising step by step, nearing the True Demon Realm.

Lu Nanzhi’s gaze sharpened, preparing to draw her sword and attack, but was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Yuebai’s shout from behind.

"Move aside, let me handle it!"

A massive shadow charged over Lu Nanzhi’s head with potent force. Shocked, she looked up to see Jiang Yuebai leap into action.

A giant dragon claw emerged from her small palm, solidifying from a mere shadow in the blink of an eye, brimming with unmatched Dragon God might and crashing down on the head of the Demon God Ice Sculpture.

Boom!

The residual power swept across, Lu Nanzhi swerved with her sword, summoning a Six-Sided Ice Wall to fiercely protect herself and Jiang Yuebai within, as the overwhelming ice mist and ice fragments billowed forward, shaking the earth and collapsing the snow.

The ice wall cracked in layers; once all settled, Lu Nanzhi dispelled it, only to find nothing but a heap of shattered ice debris remaining, with the Demon God Ice Sculpture crushed by Jiang Yuebai’s single palm.

Jiang Yuebai looked at her own palm in surprise, "Can I, can I still transform into a dragon?"

What she just employed was a culmination of the Fang Family’s Barbarian God Skill with the Dragon God Transformation, morphing the illusory Dragon God Dharma into a tangible force, enhancing its power significantly!
