"Teacher, are you doubting me?"
Chapter 237 Snow Empress Sheds Tears, Mu Ci Recovers
Above the heavens, within the image of the Bright King.
Xue Di's delicate body slumped limply on the ground inside the Mingwang Dharma Image, her face filled with disbelief as she stared at Mu Ci in front of her.
Her once cool and beautiful eyes were now filled with panic. Her delicate hands tried several times to help him up, but she withdrew them in fear, her voice trembling.
"No! No way! Mu Ci, don't scare me!"
As the Emperor of the Far North, the Snow Emperor was naturally not timid; rather, Mu Ci's current appearance was simply too unbearable to look at.
Anyone with a normal mind would not believe that Mu Ci is still alive after seeing his current injuries.
From the left side of the brain all the way to the chest cavity, along with the entire left arm, it was brutally severed. A faint red glow continuously eroded the surface of the broken end, intending to cut off the target's life force.
The outer form of the Mingwang Dharma image had already been ravaged by the Asura's Life-Severing Slash, so the Mu Ci inside it was naturally in no better condition.
After all, that attack was originally aimed at his main body, and unless his soul power was completely exhausted, the attack would not stop until it hit its target.
Moreover, the distance between Tang Chen and Mu Ci was not far to begin with, and the attack came too fast, leaving Mu Ci little time to resist or dodge.
He could only forcefully use the Dharma Form of the Bright King to withstand the attack, relying on his massive body to completely deplete the soul power of the attack.
Even so, the attack still caused great damage to Mu Ci.
Fortunately, that attack was only launched from Tang Chen's body, and its power remained at the level of a peerless Douluo, without further advancing to the level of a god.
Hearing Xue Di's low sobs and the extremely cold tears dripping down her cheeks, Mu Ci immediately woke up and slowly opened her remaining eye.
The terrifying slash earlier, carrying an inexplicable power of law, inevitably caused Mu Ci to fall into a coma for a while. However, with the help of the Ice and Snow Maiden's extremely cold tears, which were comparable to the tears of mermaids, he gradually woke up.
"so cold!"
The first thing Mu Ci saw when she opened her eyes was Xue Di, who was crying her eyes out. Seeing the sadness that Xue Di had caused her, she felt a subtle emotion and couldn't help but tease her.
The sudden words abruptly silenced the still-crying Snow Empress, who let cold tears slide down her peerless face as she stared blankly at Mu Ci before her.
"Mu...Mu Ci, are you alright?"
Hearing Xue Di's somewhat dazed words, Mu Ci moved her crippled body and said with feigned sadness, "Do I look like I'm alright?"
Seeing Mu Ci's nonchalant demeanor and affected tone, Xue Di's mood instantly improved considerably. She lightly slapped him with her delicate hand, her brows furrowing slightly, and said, "Be serious. Are you alright or not? Your injury..."
As she spoke, Xue Di pointed to the shocking injuries on Mu Ci's body, her beautiful eyes still flickering as she hesitated to look directly at them.
Seeing Xue Di like this, Mu Ci immediately stopped teasing her. As if she didn't feel her own injuries, she sat up from the ground without any difficulty.
Looking at Xue Di so close to her, Mu Ci reached out and gently stroked her cheek, wiping away the tears on her fair skin.
Xue Di did not dodge, letting Mu Ci wipe her cheek with her warm hands, but her beautiful eyes stared at her without blinking, wanting an explanation.
Mu Ci removed her hand from Xue Di's face, pointed to her own severed limbs on the ground on the other side, and said softly.
"I'm really fine, you can see for yourself!"
As Mu Ci finished speaking, the missing left arm on the ground suddenly emitted a cyan-gold light, instantly transforming into a wisp of energy that entered Mu Ci's body.
At the same time, a bluish-gold light began to emanate from Mu Ci's body, constantly fighting against the crimson light on the wound.
However, compared to the abundant power that surged forth like a vast ocean, the crimson light on the wound was like a rootless duckweed, instantly covered and dissolved, eventually disappearing.
Once the protective barrier that had blocked his life force was removed, flesh and blood began to emerge from Mu Ci's wounds, gradually mending the missing limb.
At this moment, the power of abundance fully manifests its specialized healing effects.
In less than a breath, Mu Ci's originally damaged body suddenly grew back to its original state under Xue Di's incredulous gaze, as if it had never suffered any injury.
Even a brain injury, which is considered absolutely fatal in the Douluo Continent, is no exception.
After finishing everything, Mu Ci looked at Xue Di, whose face was full of disbelief and whose cold expression had disappeared, replaced by a somewhat dazed look, and said with a smile, "How about that? I told you nothing was wrong, right?"
"This..." Xue Di stopped speaking immediately after uttering just one word.
She suddenly realized that Mu Ci was also chosen by a deity, and that deity was a supreme being in the words of the Ice God, so it was not surprising that she had such abilities.
"Could you come earlier next time? I was almost scared to death!" Xue Di said to Mu Ci, who seemed completely unaffected, with a hint of resentment in her voice.
Looking at the snow-covered landscape before her, so different from anything she remembered, Mu Ci's words softened even more. "You want me to do it again?"
Xue Di's expression suddenly froze, realizing that she might have said the wrong thing. A blush suddenly rose on her jade-like cheeks, and she turned her head slightly away, no longer looking at Mu Ci beside her.
"Alright, that's about all for now. Let's head out."
As Mu Ci finished speaking, the dharma image of the two men immediately began to disintegrate.
At the same time, fine golden threads began to appear on Mu Ci's body, quickly repairing her tattered clothes.
When the enormous Dharma image disappeared, the two reappeared in the sky.
This immediately attracted the attention of Qian Daoliu, who was waiting outside.
Only when he saw Mu Ci appear safe and sound before him did Qian Daoliu finally breathe a long sigh of relief. His heart had been pounding with anxiety.
Fortunately, Mu Ci was unharmed; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to explain it to Qian Renxue below.
After discovering that Mu Ci was unharmed, Qian Daoliu also turned his gaze to Xue Di beside him, his brows furrowing slightly.
When they joined forces to kill Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu focused all his attention on the battle and did not pay much attention to Xue Di's affairs.
But at this moment, Tang Chen had already disappeared, and the sudden appearance of this demigod immediately caught Qian Daoliu's attention.
Moreover, something seems off about the aura of this stunning demigod...
Chapter 238 It’s over
"Mu Ci? How are you now?"
Qian Daoliu flapped his wings and arrived in front of the two. He looked at Mu Ciming and asked a question he already knew the answer to, but then changed the subject and looked at Xue Di. "And who is this?"
"Grandpa, I'm alright now!" Mu Ci smiled and nodded as Qian Daoliu flew closer, then gestured to the Snow Empress, "Let me introduce you, Snow Empress! The Emperor of the Far North! The High Priestess of the Ice God!"
Qian Daoliu was taken aback for a moment, then his brows relaxed, and his eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Xue Di in disbelief.
He had frowned earlier only because he sensed a non-human aura emanating from Xue Di.
Clearly, the demigod before them was a terrifying soul beast, whose age far exceeded the so-called 100,000 years.
When Xue Di and Mu Ci emerged from the Dharma Image, their expressions were clearly a bit off, which immediately reminded him of Tang Hao back then, so he thought of asking them more questions.
After all, he was Qian Renxue's grandfather, and he had reason to support his granddaughter Mu Ci.
Qian Daoliu simply did not expect Mu Ci to give him such an answer.
High Priestess of the Ice God!
Such a title immediately shut Qian Daoliu up.
Regardless of whether the Snow Empress in front of us is a soul beast that is more than 100,000 years old, or what race she is.
Once you've made contact with the gods, nothing else matters.
And the position of High Priest is equivalent to his.
Whether in terms of strength or status.
After figuring out Xue Di's identity, Qian Daoliu's expression immediately turned serious, and he bowed to Xue Di with utmost respect.
"High Priest of the Angel God, Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, Titled Angel, it is an honor to meet Your Majesty, Snow Empress!"
After hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Xue Di turned slightly to face him.
At the same time, the expression he had when he was with Mu Ci vanished instantly, replaced by his usual aloof demeanor, as he bowed slightly to Qian Daoliu who was bowing to him.
"High Priestess of the Ice God, Emperor of the North, Snow Maiden, greet Your Excellency."
Mu Ci breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing the two meet.
He really didn't want to cause any trouble because of the Snow Empress's identity, so he directly introduced her as the High Priestess of the Ice God during the introduction.
If the Snow Empress is simply the Northern Emperor, a 600,000-year-old ice and snow maiden, a demigod-level soul beast.
It would be impossible for Qian Daoliu to take this so seriously; rather, it would trigger a series of warnings.
After all, the Spirit Hall also bears the responsibility of guarding against the various spirit beast forests to a certain extent, and is wary of the beast tides that may occur at any time.
Therefore, once people learn that there are even more terrifying beasts than 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the world of soul beasts, they will inevitably become vigilant.
However, once he acquired the identity of High Priest of the Gods, all the problems were solved, and he would no longer be prejudiced against because he was a Soul Beast.
However, Mu Ci wanted to ask about something else, so she looked around with a serious expression and found that there was no trace of the previous battle in the sky.
All the spatial cracks were repaired by nature and restored to their original state.
Not seeing what she expected, Mu Ci frowned and looked at Qian Daoliu, asking, "Grandpa, how is Tang Chen?"
Tang Chen's sudden appearance was extremely strange, so how could it not attract Mu Ci's attention?
Although we already guessed that it was the Asura God who was behind it, we still need to ask him in detail what exactly happened during the short time he was unconscious.
Upon hearing Mu Ci's question, Qian Daoliu's expression immediately turned serious.
Clearly, it was Tang Chen's strange behavior at the time that greatly shocked him, ignoring his angry attack without making any move, which was quite unbelievable.
"After Tang Chen unleashed his attack on you, his body began to glow red, and he transformed into a pillar of light and disappeared from the sky." Qian Daoliu paused here, then added, "Oh, he also took another person with him. I looked from the sky, and it was Tang San."
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Mu Ci's expression immediately turned serious, and he thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"
Seeing Mu Ci's solemn expression, Qian Daoliu frowned and spoke.
"I have a feeling that the Tang Chen who appeared at the end wasn't actually Tang Chen!"
Although Qian Daoliu's words were somewhat convoluted, both of them present understood what he meant.
If it were truly just that King of Slaughter, the previous generation's Haotian Douluo Tang Chen, he certainly wouldn't have been able to survive the combined attack of the three of them.
Conversely, Tang Chen, who survived their combined attack, is certainly not the same Tang Chen he once was.
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Mu Ci immediately nodded.
"That's right, that's a god! Or rather, a god's consciousness descended to this place through the divine artifact in Tang Chen's hands to resolve some things he didn't want to see happen."
"god!"
