The Saintess Has A Showdown 329-330

Chapter 329: The Snow Monarch Descends

With a whoosh, the shadowy crescent moon slash tore through the air, severing limbs and spilling blood, a gruesome scene that sent chills down the spines of all who witnessed it.

The black Water Element, its tattered moth wings fluttering gently, held the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, in one hand, a swirling water-colored scarf in the other.

Ink-like droplets dripped from its wings, forming a strange, dark pool at its feet, like a spreading shadow.

Even facing multiple legendary beings, its aura was overwhelming.

“October, Ninth Seat!!!”

The Laughing Red Moon’s severed arm was slowly regenerating, but its manic grin was gone, replaced by a grim expression as it stared at the black Water Element.

All the legendary beings present, including the Laughing Red Moon, felt the oppressive weight of its aura.

However, at this moment, the Umbrella Immortal’s eyes widened in shock.

That shadowy blade… it belonged to Shui Qingyue, the First Seat of the Three Lives Gate!!!

What was going on? Why did this overlord-level Water Element possess Shui Qingyue’s demonic blade?!

And the Ice Forged Decapitator, seemingly offering no resistance, resting calmly in the Water Element’s hand…

It sensed true power.

The Nether Spring Narcissus, a being at the apex of the water lineage, of the same lineage as the Lord of the Nether Spring, a titled legendary being from the mythical era.

“Hand over the Ice Forged Decapitator. You, without even a spirit diagram, are no match for me,” the Laughing Red Moon said, its voice strained, its defensive posture belying its confident words.

The Nether Spring Narcissus ignored the naked, red-haired woman’s threat, casually twirling the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, like a hula hoop, the air whistling around it.

Seeing this, the Laughing Red Moon clenched its fist, a terrifying spirit energy surging within.

Bang!!!

The next second, a massive, blood-red, bone hand erupted from the void behind the Water Element, crushing the surrounding area, pulverizing everything within a thousand-meter radius.

In an instant, the violent burst of spirit energy subsided, even the stray spirit energy in the air, even the nearby lake, annihilated, reduced to dust.

“Crimson Finger Blood Grip.”

The Laughing Red Moon opened its hand, and the massive, blood-red hand vanished, revealing the black Water Element, completely unharmed.

It continued to twirl the blade, its posture unchanged, its spirit energy undisturbed.

“…”
“…”

After a moment of stunned silence, a drop of cold sweat trickled down the Laughing Red Moon’s cheek.

This wasn’t about whether it could win or not. It couldn’t even touch its opponent.

This Water Element, and the demonic blade, the Sacred Water… they had vanished.

Not their physical forms, but their very presence, erased, their auras shifted to a higher dimension.

This… it must be either a mysterious-type or an unusual-type!

The most troublesome types for an offensive spirit beast like itself.

However, even if it couldn’t defeat it, the Umbrella Immortal’s Folding Dream…

Seeing the Laughing Red Moon signaling the Umbrella Immortal, the Umbrella Immortal quickly caught on and cried out, feigning concern,

“It seems the Laughing Red Moon is no match for it! Let’s work together to reclaim the Sacred Water, then deal with the Laughing Red Moon!!!”

“It now wields two legendary weapon-type spirit beasts! If we don’t work together, we’re all doomed!!!”

The Ice Yin Sword Princess, who hadn’t initially grasped the gravity of the situation, was now also alarmed.

Indeed, it now possessed both a legendary demonic blade and a Sacred Water. It could easily destroy the Heavy Rain Realm.

If the Laughing Red Moon lost, the Heavy Rain Realm, with only three remaining legendary beings, would be vulnerable.

The Mist-Born Sea Emperor’s face darkened, its snake tail twitching nervously.

The situation was spiraling out of control. They had no choice but to follow the Umbrella Immortal’s suggestion and temporarily ally with the Laughing Red Moon.

“You two, restrain it!!”

As the Laughing Red Moon’s voice echoed, its two massive, veiny arms, its palms clasped together, unleashed a terrifying burst of spirit energy.

At the same time, the Umbrella Immortal opened its umbrella, a massive, transparent barrier, covering tens of thousands of kilometers, enveloping the black Water Element and the other two legendary beings.

Trapped within the umbrella’s domain, the Nether Spring Narcissus’s previously hazy form solidified, its movements restricted by the two massive, blood-red, bone hands that had appeared, grabbing it.

Boom!!!

The two giant hands clasped together, a deafening crash, the dust settling.

After that attack, even if it wasn’t dead, it would be severely injured.

However, before the Laughing Red Moon could celebrate, it noticed something strange.

What was going on…?

The entire Grand Yin Concealed Rain Pavilion was covered in snow, an endless blizzard, the sky white.

At this moment, a chilling cold, spirit energy fading.

Except for the legendary beings and the half-step Sun and Moon Realm Saint-rank spirit beasts, all life within hundreds of kilometers was frozen, their terrified faces a mask of despair.

A thick layer of ice encased everything, their auras still present, but their bodies frozen, only their consciousness remaining, trapped.

The Frozen Throne? No, wait…!!!

The Laughing Red Moon quickly dismissed that thought. The Ice Condensing Saintess’s shocked expression clearly indicated she wasn’t responsible.

Crack—

The next second, the two blood-red bone hands, also frozen, shattered, their fragments scattering like shards of glass.

Amidst the falling snow, a woman in a white, shroud-like wedding dress stood behind the black Water Element, her expression cold and indifferent.

Seeing the Snow Woman in her mourning attire, the three legendary beings from the Heavy Rain Realm were still confused.

But the Laughing Red Moon’s eyes widened in terror, its scalp tingling, and it shrieked,

“Y-You… the S-S-Snow… Snow Monarch!!!!!”

Chapter 330: The Ninth Seat’s True Identity!!!

The Snow Monarch!!!

As the Laughing Red Moon shrieked, the minds of the Mist-Born Sea Emperor, the Ice Yin Sword Princess, and the Umbrella Immortal, the three legendary spirit beasts, went blank, their thoughts frozen.

The Snow Monarch, one of the Legendary Seven Concubines, the absolute ruler, standing at the apex of all spirit beasts.

Even the White Moon Lord, a symbol of destruction and invincibility, would avoid it. Both were ancient beings from the mythical era, their power unmatched.

Perhaps those from the weaker realms couldn’t comprehend the significance of the name “Snow Monarch,” but the Laughing Red Moon understood the insurmountable gap between them.

A chasm separated them, a mountain of corpses, the remains of countless overlord-level legendary beings.

For forty thousand years, countless legendary beings and factions had challenged the Snow Monarch, their ambitions crushed, their bodies turned to dust, the name “Snow Monarch” a symbol of despair, an unbeatable foe.

The Snow Monarch… here?!

The Laughing Red Moon’s face paled, its heart pounding with terror. Just as it was about to give up and self-destruct, it noticed something strange.

This Snow Monarch… it was only at the Nether Traverse Stage, and it wasn’t even wielding the Eternal Holy Water.

It didn’t seem like a clone or an illusion, but its true physical form.

This Snow Woman… was of the same lineage as the Snow Monarch!!!

Realizing this, the Laughing Red Moon was even more terrified.

More than the despair of facing certain death, the appearance of a second Snow Monarch sent chills down its spine, its very being trembling.

What was going on? Which one of them, these two overlord-level beings, was the Ninth Seat of October? The October list only had one…

Could one of them be a member of October, the other a hidden agent?

After a few moments, the Laughing Red Moon’s panic subsided, a glimmer of hope appearing.

Although it couldn’t understand the situation, it now had a chance to escape. These two, barely into the False Soul Stage, couldn’t stop it.

And having already obtained the Ice Forged Decapitator, they had no reason to fight to the death.

At this moment, the Nether Princess Bai Xue, radiating a chilling aura, her beautiful form clad in a pure white mourning dress, her face partially hidden behind a bridal veil, an alluring sight, stood silently.

The Ice Forged Decapitator, the shimmering, water-colored scarf wrapped around the black Water Element’s hand, also detached and floated towards the Snow Woman.

Well, well, well, quite the fickle one…

Compared to the purely water-type Nether Spring Narcissus, the Ice Forged Decapitator clearly preferred the icy embrace of the Nether Princess Bai Xue.

Such a noble, elegant, and breathtakingly beautiful creature…

Completely captivated by the Snow Woman’s chilling aura, the Ice Forged Decapitator, the swirling scarf, danced joyfully around her.

The Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, however, couldn’t stand the Nether Princess Bai Xue’s icy presence and remained close to the Nether Spring Narcissus and Gong Lianyue.

“…”
“…”

“So, what should we do now?” the Ice Yin Sword Princess asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Even she, somewhat slow-witted, could tell this wasn’t the Snow Monarch, but another powerful, ice-type, overlord-level legendary being. However, she couldn’t identify its specific species.

“Should we… run?” the Mist-Born Sea Emperor suggested, its voice betraying its fear.

Hearing this, the Umbrella Immortal rolled its eyes.

Run? How? Didn’t they see the frozen Spirit Masters and spirit beasts below?

Any movement, and they would be frozen by that Snow Woman, trapped forever.

However, as the Umbrella Immortal glanced downwards, its eyes widened in shock.

The massive pile of resources brought by the Ice Forged Decapitator was gone, replaced by a blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl, quietly sorting through the remaining items.

Shui Qingyue, the First Seat of the Three Lives Gate!!!

And the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner!

Distracted by the Laughing Red Moon’s sudden attack, the Umbrella Immortal had almost forgotten about the blade. How had Shui Qingyue’s weapon ended up in that Water Element’s hands?

And her timing… it was too perfect. She must be connected to that black Water Element.

If they captured Shui Qingyue, they could control both the black Water Element and the Snow Woman!

This was their only chance!!!

With this thought, the Umbrella Immortal took a step towards Shui Qingyue.

Swish—!

However, the moment it directed its hostility towards Shui Qingyue, two black and white blurs flashed before its eyes.

Almost simultaneously, the black Water Element and the Snow Woman teleported, appearing on either side of the girl, shielding her.

A wave of hostility, an endless, dark, watery aura, like a spreading shadow, engulfed the area for hundreds of kilometers, a stark contrast to the falling snow, a beautiful black and white landscape.

At the same time, nine shimmering pink peach blossoms bloomed, a protective barrier of swirling petals shielding the blue-haired girl.

A beautiful woman with nine peach blossom-shaped tails stood behind her, her soft tails protecting Shui Qingyue.

The Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower, of the same lineage as the Peach Blossom Concubine!

And amidst this overwhelming display of power, Hong Xiaoqianyu, who had been lurking nearby, also appeared, radiating a weak, innocent aura, pretending to be afraid.

In that instant, the scene froze.

Behind the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl stood the Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower. Before her, Hong Xiaoqianyu. To her left, the Nether Spring Narcissus, wielding the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner. And to her right, the Ice Forged Decapitator, swirling around the Nether Princess Bai Xue.

Six legendary beings. Six legendary beings, all protecting this single girl, simply because of a flicker of hostility from the Umbrella Immortal!

“There’s no need for such caution. She won’t harm me.”

The blue-haired girl smiled gently, reaching out to stroke Hong Xiaoqianyu’s hair.

At that moment, every being present, their breath catching in their throats—the Mist-Born Sea Emperor, the Ice Yin Sword Princess, the Laughing Red Moon, the Umbrella Immortal, the Ice Condensing Saintess, the Yin Robe Saintess, and even the Endless Saintess, so overwhelmed she began bleeding from her orifices—froze.

The Laughing Red Moon and the Umbrella Immortal exchanged shocked glances, a terrifying realization dawning.

The Ninth Seat of October wasn’t a single being!

It was… a “person”…
