The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 595 - 257: The Chosen One of Ancestors_3

"Wolf Yue, speed up!"

"Roar!!"

The Blood Moon Sky Wolf ignites its blood, its speed skyrocketing.

It transforms into a streak of bloody lightning, darting across mountains and chasing clouds, speeding toward the source of the blood light.

"Hahaha, Xueman isn’t bad, a few months without seeing her, and she’s gotten stronger."

"Hehe, think about it, who is Xueman’s sister."

"If the sister she trained doesn’t even have these skills, that would be disgraceful!"

Two hearty laughs echo throughout the mountains.

Suddenly, their laughter fades, and along with several people beside them, they look sideways.

"Roar!!"

The blood light flickers as if a full moon breaks through the sky.

The sixty-meter-long Blood Moon Sky Wolf crushes the top of a mountain, lowering its shoulders and growling softly.

"Wow, what a handsome wolf cub!"

"Let me see, who is this? Wowser! Isn’t this Lord Han? What wind has blown you over here?"

A man in jade green light armor, shaking a jade fan in his hand, has an exaggerated expression.

However, the man on his right is clearly stronger than he is.

Yet he doesn’t dare to laugh now, his entire body taut, not hiding the fear in his eyes.

"Ye Hu?"

Ye Hanjun takes a look and coldly says:

"Are you the one who started the trouble?"

"Trouble?" The man in jade green shakes his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, how could it be."

"I didn’t threaten Liuying Lord, Liuying Lord himself agreed to fight with our Blood Halberd."

"Look, it’s an open format too, outsiders are allowed to watch, it won’t obstruct the view~"

Ye Hu’s laughter sounds as sharp as a eunuch’s.

Aside from the strong man on his right, the third person is a woman in an apricot-colored Luo skirt.

She takes a steady look at Ye Hanjun, tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, and flirtily says:

"Little brother Hanjun, long time no see."

"In a blink of an eye, you have grown so tall? I hardly recognized you."

Ye Hanjun laughs scornfully and does not respond.

His gaze is fixed on the blood halberd’s battle platform, without a second’s distraction.

The two people in combat are at the most intense moment, not permitting the slightest distraction.

One of them holds a strange weapon, with blades on both sides, sky-blue Ice Element condensed into substance, and every swing sets off a flurry of snow.

Beside her are three Contracted Fond Spirits, all in the form of demon beasts taking on plant-type shapes. They are called "Ice Dragon Vine," "Ice Mirror Flower," and "Ice Locust Tree," all having reached Perfection of the Life Wheel. Whether it’s the vines darting about, or the petals and leaves darting like flying knives, they all carry the silent chill of ice.

"Hasn’t broken through the 5th Rank yet?"

Ye Hanjun is slightly taken aback, as another person comes into view.

Through the blood curtain, there’s a woman who is utterly engulfed in black flames.

Ye Hanjun can’t see her face clearly, but that figure, that demeanor, perfectly matches the one he’s been picturing day in and day out.

—— Ye Liuying!

It’s hard to define their relationship as sisters or twins, for they were born at the same time and originated from the same mother, deeply bound by blood ties.

From the moment he opened his eyes, Ye Hanjun has been living with her.

Right up until the eve of their Active Awakening, for a full sixteen years, the two learned and played together. If one had to describe it, only the term "family" could encapsulate it.

"Wudong! Wudong!!"

Ye Liuying’s Contracted Spirit, surprisingly, is the ’Stone Giant’.

Even with the Life Wheel having achieved Perfection, it stood at a height of thirty-five meters.

Ye Liuying, standing on its shoulder, appeared as tiny as a hanging ornament.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!"

Dark flames gushed ceaselessly from Ye Liuying’s eyes and ran along her body, twisting her figure into something as horrific as a demon.

Stranger still, the dark aura clinging to the Stone Giant. The originally greyish giant now resembled a ’Dark Giant’ or a ’Demon Doll Stone Statue’, exuding an ominous, deadly chill.

"Pow!!"

The Stone Giant thundered a punch.

Although the motion from raising its arm to delivering the punch was smooth, its enormous size made it look slow from the perspective of onlookers.

The Ice Dragon Vine howled, first weaving a vine net to block the punch and then entangling upwards along the fist, attempting to wrap and immobilize the arm, completely restraining the Stone Giant’s movement.

The Ice Mirror Flower wasn’t idle either. It continuously consolidated the Ice Elements in its mirror surface, unleashing a volley of Ice arrows towards the figure on the Stone Giant’s shoulder.

"Wudong! Wudong!"

The Stone Giant remained in a state of fury.

As one hand was entangled, it used the other to shield its master from the raining ice arrows.

Most of these arrows could not pierce its skin and flesh, leaving only shallow marks, like tiny insect bites.

However, the sheer number of arrows combined with their rapid speed, along with the limitless leaves falling from the Ice Locust Tree, transforming into locust after locust of ice, continuously gnawing and attacking at the Stone Giant’s ankles.

No matter who observed this scene, the Stone Giant appeared to be fighting a losing battle, defeat seemed imminent.

Ye Hanjun’s gaze was locked on the Stone Giant’s chest.

There, a brilliant black chrysanthemum was blooming slowly.

"Huh—"

The black chrysanthemum sprayed a puff of blood, half landing on the Stone Giant, and the other half on the main stem of the Ice Dragon Vine.

The fatigue-ridden Stone Giant suddenly brimmed with vigorous vitality. With a few tugs, it not only freed itself from the entanglement of the Ice Dragon Vine, but also crushed thousands of Ice Locusts with a forceful stomp, flipping the tables on the impending danger.

The Ice Dragon Vine, which had the misfortune of being smeared with the black chrysanthemum blood, retreated underground with woeful screams.

"Rip!"

The woman holding the ancient ice blade severed half of the Ice Dragon Vine’s main stem.

The vines hadn’t even hit the ground before their icy blue color completely inverted, transitioning into the darkest black.

When they finally touched the ground, these vines crumbled to dust, like leaves weathered by time, upon the slightest touch.

"Oh my, that’s impressive. Nothing less expected of Lord Liuying."

"Despite battling for so long, you still have this much fight in you. That drop of Ancestor Essence Blood wasn’t completely wasted after all."

Ye Hu made a sarcastic comment.

Ye Min concealed a smile behind her hand, her icy gaze didn’t waver:

"Isn’t it about time?"

"After Xueman has played around for so long, it’s time to get serious and unleash a killing blow."

"I think so too~"

Ye Hu rubbed his palms with an anticipatory look:

"Powered by her Ability, the terrifying aspect of a B-level ’Ice Executioner’ is when three Ice Elemental Fond Spirits fused into one!"

"Compared to that, Liuying’s ’Grand Dark Priest’, though also B-level, seems to lack advantages when facing plant-type demon beasts and highly condensed Ice Elements~"
