Chapter 457: A Fight to the Death
In just a few seconds, Shangguan Bingxue consumed 1/4 of his entire mana, erecting hundreds of ice walls around and above Bai Ze, forming a huge ice room. If he were someone else, the cold air emitted by the ice alone would have frozen him to death, but Bai Ze's strength was very strong, and Shangguan Bingxue didn't care.
Besides, she didn't have a choice, if she took Bai Ze back to Earth, then the enemy would undoubtedly hunt them down, because it had locked their aura, and if this creature came to Earth, it would only cause chaos and slaughter. Because no one will be able to stop it.
A few seconds later, Shangguan Bingxue finally spotted the enemy.
The enemy was ten feet tall and no less than twenty feet from the top of his head to his tail. Its wings seem to have stainless steel feathers, and under this strange artificial light, it shimmers slightly, giving people a dreamlike beauty. It has huge claws and looks imposing and can easily penetrate any defense.
Bang! Bang!
The creature spread its wings and hovered in the air, its two big golden eyes staring at Shangguan Bingxue with murderous intent. It opened its beak like a death scythe and let out a high-pitched scream that made the earth tremble instantly.
Shangguan Bingxue secretly gritted his teeth, seeing that what he was about to face was a second-order eagle that was obviously far beyond level 80.
Known as the king of the sky, the eagle is a ruthless hunter, fast enough to scare his prey, and his razor-sharp claws have the ability to pierce all defenses. Not to mention its ferocious sharp peck, which can even pierce the scale armor of a crocodile.
The eagle looked at Shangguan Bingxue and then at the big ice room. Its eyes flashed with a human agility, and after a second high-pitched cry, it swooped down towards the ground.
Shangguan Bingxue's face changed significantly, and he realized the intention of the beast, and without hesitation, he pointed his left hand to the sky.
"Ice Arrow!"
Hundreds of ice arrows appeared a few meters above her head, flying towards the giant eagle one after the other at a speed not inferior to that of bullets.
There was a strange light in the eagle's golden eyes, and there was no sign of stopping, and a faint sound was made.
Sou!
A wind barrier appeared around the giant eagle's body. The transparent barrier followed it wherever it passed, and in the next moment, Shangguan Bingxue's attack met its defensive barrier.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ....
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...
...
The ice arrows seemed to hit an impenetrable wall, because when they touched the wind barrier around the giant eagle's body, they exploded and turned into small pieces of crystal ice that fell from the sky. As soon as the debris fell to the ground, the ground began to freeze, and corpses were no exception.
The eagle continued its seemingly unstoppable charge, and as soon as it reached the sky above the huge ice chamber, it changed its body posture and pointed its two sharp talons at its target.
Just as the eagle was about to reach its goal, the sound of thunder resounded throughout the battlefield, like a ghost, and the previous human woman appeared in front of it again.
Shangguan Bingxue stood on top of the ice chamber that protected Bai Ze, ready for the impact. She bent her legs slightly, lowered her posture, and placed the Winter Sword in front of her, forming several ice shields in front of her.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
...
In less than a second, most of the ice shield was shattered by the impact of the giant eagle.
Even so, when the last layer of ice shield shattered, the power of the beast's attack was significantly weakened, and this was exactly what Shangguan Bingxue needed.
Bang!!!
Shangguan Bingxue felt like a huge truck crashed into her unprotected body, and she suddenly felt the blood in her body churning violently. She forcibly swallowed back the blood she was about to spit out, but she couldn't stop a thin drop of red blood from sliding from the corner of her mouth.
Her feet sank deep into the ice at the top, and cracks spread along the top of the structure.
The four eyes were facing each other, one beast claw was parried by Shangguan Bingxue's main sword, and the other was parried by the ice sword.
In about thirty seconds, she had already consumed half of her mana to protect Bai Ze.
The giant eagle tilted her head, Shangguan Bingxue naturally understood that a second delay here would cost her life, so she hurriedly summoned dozens of ice swords and silently performed the frost rejection skill.
The ice sword gained an eerie pale blue glow and flew towards the beast at different angles.
In particular, one of the ice blades was aimed at one of the creature's eyes, which forced the beast to reconsider whether or not to continue pecking at the enemy, and the eagle realized that the woman in front of him was indeed powerful.
Eventually, the creature decided that there was no need to take such a big risk, flapped its wings, and flew away.
Bang! Bang!
The force of the eagle's violent slapping produced an explosion, which exploded the ice even more, and Shangguan Bingxue almost couldn't hold it anymore. Moreover, with the shock wave alone, all the ice swords were shattered.
An imperceptible coldness flashed in Shangguan Bingxue's eyes, and the additional effect of the empowerment necklace was silently activated. Her health, stamina, agility, and strength stats have been greatly improved, and when she feels the impact on her internal organs, she recovers faster from internal injuries.
The eagle, which had planned to fly into the sky, suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Shangguan Bingxue jumped to his feet, completely ignoring the defenses. She knew it would be difficult for her enemies to show her flaws, so she decided to take advantage of the eagle's wings obscuring her vision and pounce on the creature with all her might.
Woohoo!
Shangguan Bingxue maintained the frost rejection effect on the Winter Sword, and when she finally reached the necessary range, she used the momentum of her jump to deliver a deadly slash from the bottom up.
The beast's golden eyes widened, and a thunderclap came from the depths of its heart, flapping its wings rapidly, and it flew more than two hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
Shangguan Bingxue's body, like a kite with a broken string, fell from the sky. When the eagle's sonic boom hit her, she felt like all her bones would turn to dust, and her body slammed to the ground.
The Giant Eagle's blood seemed to be somewhat radioactive, and her first-order armor was instantly battered.
Shangguan Bingxue's eyes turned red, and a heart-rending pain hit her heart, making her breathless.
A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes when she looked down, and she saw that just above her chest, there was a hole like a double fist. The wound was so horrible that she could even see her heart pounding and blood gushing out like a bank when she looked at it from one side.
If she hadn't reached level 49 now and had 289 health, she wouldn't have stood up; Shangguan Bingxue has long been dead!
However, in her current state, it may be very difficult to survive. Not only because the wound in her chest was fatal, but also because there was a terrible predator waiting for her in the sky.
Shangguan Bingxue drank all the potions he was carrying, and his strength was temporarily raised to a higher level. She gritted her teeth and looked up at the sky.
The giant eagle was still writhing in pain, black blood splattering everywhere, and the wound on its chest was far from healing.
Seeing this, Shangguan Bingxue breathed a sigh of relief slightly, the level of this eagle obviously did not exceed her by more than fifty levels, otherwise the frost rejection skill would have no effect on the body of this creature. Then, she looked down at the ice cube, a hint of bitterness flashing in her eyes.
However, her gaze was soon filled with determination, and she raised her sword to the sky as she bit her lip hard.
Mana spread around her, and hundreds of ice swords surrounded by the power of the Frost Rejection Skill fluttered above her head.
Shangguan Bingxue's ice sword soared into the air and flew towards the giant eagle struggling in the air.
