THE BLUE WHISPER 驭鲛记

Chapter 92: Exactly A Returning Friend

        A massive wall of ice stretched forth in the mountains.

        A lone figure in black looked so incredibly small among the vast landscape, but he was resisting against one of mother nature's most vicious attacks.

        The wall built up and lengthened under his hands as he flew forward, and people that followed him stayed behind one by one at weak spots to support it with their power.

        The lava flowed along the ice wall, leaving a trail of black, rocky formations.

        Aji flew in front of Changyi. She explored the terrain and guided him toward the frozen lake.

        Leading the lava to the lake sounded like a simple plan, but it was uncertain how much power was needed to build a wall of ice along the path. She was worried if Changyi could make it all the way…

        She looked back at him and saw no abnormalities in his face, so she continued forward.

        When she approached the lake, Aji leaped up and summoned the power of five tails. With her hand clenched into a fist, she struck the frozen surface and broke open the ice. The wall followed right behind her. Lava flowed into the water, immediately boiling it. 

        Under the surface beyond their vision, the lake shook and quaked, disturbing mud that had laid in peace for thousands of years. Ji Yunhe's seal also stirred. 

        The ice coffin bounced up and down within the turbulence before the lava engulfed her completely.

        The surface of the lake that had been frozen for half a year melted in no time.

        Aji jumped back onto the shore.

        All along the icy wall were people standing guard, making sure it did not collapse.

        And the jiaoren stood silently ten feet away from Aji. Right now, the entire Northlands looked aflame, only Changyi breathed out mouthfuls of cold air. Frost gathered on his face and neck, looking rather frightening.

        He had overextended himself...

        Suddenly, he bent over in pain.

        This proud jiaoren who had never bowed down to anything was no longer able to stand tall. He fell down onto one knee, and the body that was just frosting over turned into a burning red.

        Aji did not know what was wrong with him and was about to go check when she heard people cry out in alarm.

        The ice wall was affected when Changyi fell. A piece above him fractured and the fiery red lava poured through.

        Changyi was feeling himself shift between extreme hot and cold. The cold was from the overexertion of his demonic power, and the heat was from the lava burning Ji Yunhe's body.

        Ji Yunhe could no longer feel anything. She would soon be completely taken away by heaven and earth, and disappear. Perhaps becoming a drop of water, a grain of dust in the wind, or nothing at all...

        He watched the lava pour down from above.

        Come.

        He had nothing to fear.

        He used all of his strength to protect this northern city, and did not turn into the Grand Master who wanted to bury the entire world for the one he loved.
