The Saintess Has A Showdown 225-226

Chapter 225: Certain Death Sentence

–Cangsheng Palace, First Saint Court

The dark palace, guarded by the Fourth Commander, the Flowing Shadow, was now rapidly freezing, turning into a beautiful ice castle.

Ever since the Frost Snow Woman set down her Ice Coffin, the cold aura had intensified, frost covering the walls, floor, and ceiling, snow falling, a bone-chilling cold that pierced to the bone.

The Sleepless Sparrow and the Wicked Garden Saintess huddled in a corner, trembling, unable to bear the cold.

The Frost Snow Woman’s aura wasn’t particularly intimidating among Saint-ranks, but the chilling aura emanating from the Ice Coffin was unsettling, a bone-chilling cold.

The Flowing Shadow’s dark aura was completely suppressed, but it remained motionless, showing no sign of panic.

To kill the Flowing Shadow, its two cores had to be destroyed simultaneously. Its other body wasn’t in the Cangsheng Palace, making it virtually impossible.

However, the Frost Snow Woman’s sealing technique earlier had been problematic. If she used that move again, the Sleepless Sparrow could escape.

That would be troublesome. She would have to expend more energy to trap them again. But it wasn’t a major problem.

At this moment, the Flowing Shadow was unaware that all its battle techniques had been revealed. It remained confident, seemingly unconcerned.

Whoosh~!!!

Suddenly, the chilling aura spread outwards like a feathered cloak.

Behind the Frost Snow Woman, the terrifying Ice Coffin slowly opened, a creaking sound like grinding teeth, almost making the Wicked Garden Saintess and the Sleepless Sparrow scream in terror.

Even the Flowing Shadow’s body trembled. This ghost woman’s technique was too disturbing! Just fight properly! What was the point of scaring them?!

Swish, swish, swish—

While it was momentarily distracted, ten swirling white threads, like chains, shot out, ensnaring the Flowing Shadow.

The threads, wrapped around the Frost Snow Woman’s fingers, whipped through the air, pulling the Flowing Shadow, its body twisting and turning uncontrollably.

The Sacred Relic, ten strands of Snow Monarch fur, unbreakable by any force.

The Flowing Shadow, tossed about like a rag doll, was similar to the Variant Water Emperor earlier, oblivious to its impending doom. It was immortal!

But the Frost Snow Woman had seen through its talent and techniques. She knew even a legendary attack like Frostfall Descent wouldn’t destroy the Flowing Shadow.

There was only one way!

Bang!

The Flowing Shadow, descending from the sky, was slammed into the Ice Coffin. The frost-covered lid slowly closed on its terrified face.

The Ice Coffin sealed shut, the darkness within absolute.

Not a trace of the Flowing Shadow’s spirit energy remained. The surrounding mist began to recede.

The Sleepless Sparrow stared at the Ice Coffin in disbelief. The Flowing Shadow, which reveled in its own mystery, had been defeated by something even more mysterious!

At this moment, the Flowing Shadow, trapped within the Ice Coffin, made no sound, no sign of struggle.

This was to be expected. Even the legendary White Flower Moon-Treading Deer had been unable to leave a mark on the Ice Coffin.

No matter how desperate or frantic it was, no matter how hard it pounded the lid, being sealed meant eternal slumber, no escape.

Of course, the Frost Snow Woman wasn’t so kind as to give it a completely safe spot within the Ice Coffin.

After all, for the Flowing Shadow, with its two bodies, a simple confinement wasn’t much of a punishment.

The Frost Snow Woman’s expression remained cold as she looked at the sealed coffin. She slowly opened her shroud’s sleeve and used a thread to make a small cut on her finger.

The next second, an incredibly cold aura flowed from her wound.

Drip!

A drop of ice-blue blood fell, gradually seeping into the coffin lid, collecting in a carved groove, forming a snowflake pattern.

A familiar snowflake pattern, shimmering erratically, as if its aura hadn’t settled.

[Talent: Ice Coffin]

A life sealed within the Ice Coffin could receive one of several random enhancements.

However, the probability of each effect could be slightly influenced by the Frost Snow Woman’s will and emotions. If her emotions reached their peak, the random effect would become guaranteed.

At this moment, the Frost Snow Woman’s icy spirit energy surged, her hair billowing, suggesting she was in a state of extreme agitation.

Finally, the snowflake pattern solidified, sealing its fate.

[Triggering Effect 1: Instant Death]

Bang!

A deafening roar, even through the solid ice coffin.

It was the sound of death, of flesh and bone shattering, organs pulverized, bones exploding, blood vaporizing.

“…”
“…”

An eerie silence, the aura gone.

After a moment, the Ice Coffin opened.

A crack in the lid, a glimpse of chilling blood within. The coffin was empty. The Flowing Shadow had been an illusion.

Under the Frost Snow Woman’s direction, a dark, hazy core emerged.

The Flowing Shadow, dead…

Its other body wasn’t in the Cangsheng Palace, but it had still suffered a mysterious, high-dimensional attack, dying instantly.

However, a life sentenced to instant death by the Ice Coffin’s first effect entered a unique state. Rather than truly dying, its control over its life was transferred to the Frost Snow Woman.

If the Frost Snow Woman placed this core back in the Ice Coffin and triggered the second effect, Instant Revival, the Flowing Shadow could be resurrected.

But there was no need for that now.

The Frost Snow Woman, ignoring the terrified Sleepless Sparrow, put the black core in her robe and slowly walked out of the palace with the coffin.

The entire process had taken less than a minute.

The supposedly immortal Flowing Shadow had been instantly vaporized…

And it was the first of the Five Commanders to fall!

Chapter 226: Commanders Annihilated

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The entire palace area was leveled, reduced to dust, as the Libra Fighting Swallow’s body exploded and was sent flying.

In the horrified eyes of the Six-Faced God, a massive, earth-shattering fist print appeared, obliterating the area for kilometers around.

However, the silver rabbit woman’s long fur flowed freely, her aura like that of a demon god, afterimages of silver writing appearing behind her, fading before they could solidify.

What kind of battle technique was this? It was incredibly powerful…

She hadn’t even seen it attack!

Not only the Six-Faced God, but the Libra Fighting Swallow must have also been caught off guard, or it wouldn’t have ended up like this.

The only strange thing was the rabbit woman’s right arm, which was a bloody mess, emitting a strangely sweet scent, as if it had been scorched by the air itself.

A few seconds later, as the massive tail on her backside shrank, her injured arm regenerated, its flesh reforming, regaining its softness.

“Phew~~~”

The Tyrant Demon Seed exhaled a scorching breath, its pure, powerful spirit energy surging, its battle lust rekindled.

Unfortunately, there was no one left to fight. The Libra Fighting Swallow was defeated…

The Libra Fighting Swallow, its body covered in blood, tumbled backwards for hundreds of meters, collapsing on the ground outside the Saint Court, its eyes unfocused, unable to move.

Its martial arts skills, honed through countless trials, were useless against this rabbit woman.

This monster had effortlessly trampled its pride, its arrogance, its very being.

This creature was truly a force of nature…

Watching the silver rabbit woman walk towards it, its massive, furry white tail swaying, the Libra Fighting Swallow’s expression twisted in despair.

With a single punch, the invincible swallow woman had been sent flying from its guarded palace.

The terrifying impact had created a massive gouge in the ground, a hundred meters wide, kilometers long.

At this moment, the Tyrant Demon Seed, its massive tail swaying, approached, its terrifying aura causing the surrounding spirit beasts to flee in terror.

“This creature… it defeated me, and now it’s pursuing me?”

Looking at the approaching silver rabbit woman, the Libra Fighting Swallow’s dazed expression shifted to confusion.

It hadn’t provoked her. Why was she pursuing it, humiliating it like this?

Its master’s mission was the most important thing. It should be heading towards the Watery Years’ palace, not wasting time here.

As the Libra Fighting Swallow pondered, the Tyrant Demon Seed suddenly bent down and began digging, its long, graceful arms tearing at the ground, creating a massive hole.

The next second, the injured swallow woman’s body was wrapped in two soft, white rabbit ears, gently placed into the hole, then carefully covered with dirt.

What? This rabbit woman… was treating it as a private food reserve…?

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of spirit beasts had witnessed this. But under the Tyrant Demon Seed’s aura, they dared not approach.

It would retrieve its meal after the war, savoring it slowly, ensuring no one else touched it.

The thought sent a wave of crimson to the Libra Fighting Swallow’s face.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the First Saint Court, on the outer battlefield, the Water God Four Symbols was also in a bad state.

Its body was covered in blood, its soul core injured, its expression one of terror.

A moment ago, its most powerful attack, the Tiger Tail Strike, had struck the Ice Soul Cold Star’s eye, shattering into a bloody mist. Its body had gone numb, and it had fallen.

Its tail, connected to its spine, was useless. It was paralyzed, unable to move, only able to scream internally.

Although its descent was slow to human eyes, in the eyes of the massive scorpion, over four thousand meters long, it was incredibly fast.

The Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion, one of the largest among Saint-rank biological offensive types, had perfectly absorbed the Nether Stone technique from the largest Saint-rank, Hidden Scale Mountain.

It was now capable of unleashing terrifying power.

Facing the slowly descending Water God Four Symbols, the giant scorpion slowly raised its right pincer.

Its density was its weight, its purity its power. Even if it controlled its strength, it would still cause collateral damage, devastating the surrounding area.

[Battle Technique – Blade Breaker]

Swish!!!!

In the horrified eyes of countless creatures, its massive, unwieldy pincer transformed into a blue flash, a streaking light.

Its speed was incredible, on par with its tail attacks in its humanoid form!

The terrifying aura distorted the air, clearing a path, the flashing arc closing in on the falling Water God Four Symbols.

A devastating blow.

Crack—

However, just millimeters away from the Water God Four Symbols, the scorpion’s pincer stopped, held back by an unseen force.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The next second, a terrifying shockwave erupted, sending the Water God Four Symbols’s smaller body flying backwards, shattering the ground around it.

Watching the Water God Four Symbols tumble pathetically across the ground, the scorpion remained motionless, a blank expression on its face.

The Water God Four Symbols had been defeated, but not killed.

At this moment, three minutes had passed since the Sorrowful Saintess entered the arena.

The Five Commanders, which had overwhelmed the Wind Realm’s Four Guardians, were now completely annihilated, except for the Watery Years.
