As long as there was a sliver of hope, both she and Snow Empress wanted to live on.
She accelerated abruptly, pouring all her grief, indignation, and strength into her speed, turning into a jade-green stream of light that almost blended into the blizzard as she fled desperately toward the borders of the Extreme North Land... Shortly after the three had split up, several powerful figures broke through the snow and appeared in the area where they had just been.
Leading them was Light Feather Douluo, holding his Light Feather Divine Bow. His long silver hair fluttered in the wind, and his handsome face bore a playful expression, like a cat toyed with a mouse.
Beside him were the perfectly synchronized Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, along with several other Titled Douluos from the Hall of Rebirth who had sustained only minor injuries.
Light Feather Douluo closed his eyes slightly, sensing the three distinct, powerful Auras remaining in the air that were heading in different directions. A knowing curve formed at the corners of his mouth.
"Heh heh..."
He let out a light but cold laugh.
"They are but Soul Beasts after all. When it comes to wisdom and strategy, they are still somewhat lacking. Splitting up to flee might seem clever, but in reality, it weakens their strength and gives us the opportunity to defeat them one by one."
His sharp eyes swept across the three directions, and he made a judgment instantly.
"Snow Empress is of paramount importance; she could never be entrusted to the weaker Titan Snow Demon King or Ice Bear King. Only the strongest, Ice Empress, has a sliver of hope of escaping our pursuit with Snow Empress in tow."
His thinking was clear, and his tone was certain.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, follow me to pursue Ice Empress. She is the key."
He then pointed to the other Titled Douluos:
"You all, go after the Titan Snow Demon King. He is massive and an obvious target with relatively slow speed. You must intercept or kill him."
Finally, he looked at Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo:
"You two go track the Ice Bear King. Although he is not weak, he is alone and cannot cause much trouble. If you can kill him, it will also sever an arm of the Extreme North."
"Yes."
Everyone responded in unison without any objection.
"Move out."
At Light Feather Douluo's command, his figure was the first to turn into a silver stream of light. He sped off, following the trace of Ultimate Ice Aura left by Ice Empress—a trace so faint it was nearly imperceptible, yet it could not escape his keen perception.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, their figures blending into the shadows and snow like ghosts as they followed closely behind.
The other Titled Douluos also did not hesitate, pursuing with all their might in the directions A'Tai and Xiao Bai had fled.
A life-and-death chase, concerning the last hope of the Extreme North Land and the schemes of the Hall of Rebirth, suddenly accelerated across this vast and cruel ice plain.
And the one leading the pursuit of Ice Empress was one of the most troublesome existences in the Hall of Rebirth—a Rank 96 Super Douluo with beyond-visual-range strike capabilities and eerie control abilities: Light Feather Douluo.
The biting cold wind carried ice shards that scraped across the vast ice plains like countless sharp little knives.
Ice Empress sped ahead as a jade-green stream of light, her face cold as frost, her arms tightly clutching the hundred thousand year snow lotus that contained Snow Empress's Origin.
However, a sense of lethal threat, like a thorn in her back, lingered and would not dissipate.
Suddenly, a pure white stream of light that almost blended into the snow flashed across the distant horizon without any warning.
Its speed surpassed sound, as if it had Transmigrated directly through space.
