When system cheat becomes rampant!
Chapter 729 - 537: Yin Ice (4000 words)

The beast tide, having lost its senses, came raging towards them, menacing and terrifying, almost completely sealing off the air around them; their target was directly pointed at Xiang Beifei.

Ri An, this powerful Yellow Springs monster, let out a shrill cry that gathered together these powerful attacks, even intensifying them a notch.

Xiang Beifei calmly observed these ferocious desolate beasts, the Spiritual Power surging rapidly over his body, a powerful pattern of water crisscrossing around him, giving rise to barely visible ripples that spread outwards.

The primary target of these ripples was the Ri An monster ahead!

Meanwhile, the beast tide's powerful attack fell squarely on Xiang Beifei!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dense onslaught of desolate beasts slammed down towards Xiang Beifei, the entire area felt as if it were being torn asunder, the powerful aura nearly shattering the space itself!

However, Xiang Beifei's figure was like a phantom, with the terrible and powerful attacks of the beast tide all passing through his body.

He stood there, visible to all the desolate beasts, but somehow they couldn't touch him.

"This—"

Whether it was Brain Deficient or Ye Ji, their pupils shrank!

The combined attack of countless powerful desolate beasts was daunting; even they dared not claim they could easily withstand it, because the attacks of the desolate beasts weren't all of one type but consisted of countless varieties: tangible, intangible, flames, extreme ice, space-ignoring, sonic attacks, nightmares, illusions...

These large-scale attacks chaotically combined together, driven by the Ri An monster, became even more ferocious, reaching an incredible level of power. Even turning one's body ethereal or into a shadow would be useless!

Not to mention that Xiang Beifei also had to cope with the attacks of Brain Deficient and Ye Ji, who were of similar realms.

Yet he just ignored them with a nonchalant breeze!

Even if this human had raised a strong Spiritual Power barrier to withstand it, Brain Deficient and Ye Ji could accept that, but why was he able to directly sweep past?

Brain Deficient and Ye Ji had underestimated Xiang Beifei; they would never know just how many powerful abilities he had.

Stand Aside!

This was an ability he rarely used, but it was incredibly effective!

This ability allowed him to prevent unwanted targets from participating in his battle!

By making the Yellow Springs monster led by Ri An his target, it meant this was his battleground with that monster, and other desolate beasts could do nothing but Stand Aside, no matter how hard they tried!

However, he didn't exclude Ye Ji and Brain Deficient, because these two's strength was almost on par with his own, and Stand Aside could still be broken by them.

But this was enough; even if the Yellow Springs monster could control more desolate beasts to join the battle, it basically had no effect on him!

Swish!

Xiang Beifei's Wufeng sword was raised again, its blade's aura drawn through the air creating another ripple, continuing to slash down towards the Yellow Springs monster!

In an instant, another arm of the Yellow Springs monster was severed, eliciting a sharp, agonized scream!

"This is bad!"

Ye Ji quickly realized that his Yellow Springs monster was weakening!

Yellow Springs water originated from a very mysterious place, but once it left its origin, its effectiveness would diminish entirely, meaning its power was limited!

Just like Brain Deficient's red tendrils, although they were, after all, an extension of the Priest, they were formidable but at this moment were also running on fumes, unable to last much longer!

"Ye Ji! We must make a quick decision! Bring out your Yin Ice, or we're both dead!" Brain Deficient roared.

"You should know how taxing it is to use Yin Ice!"

Ye Ji's expression slightly soured at the mention of Yin Ice.

Yin Ice could combat the magma of Si Hou, temporarily disabling its devouring ability, but Yin Ice had significant downsides. Otherwise, they would have sought Yin Ice right from the start when facing Si Hou's magma instead of going through a complicated charade to gain the trust of the skeletons.

"Aren't these desolate beasts enough for you to use it on!" Brain Deficient exclaimed.

Ye Ji gritted his teeth and shouted, "Coordinate with me!"

He leaped up and stood above Ri An, the Yellow Springs monster, who continued its piercing screams, the sound painfully shrill.

Ye Ji drew a wound on his arm, dark yellow blood flowing from his arm, hovering in mid-air and lingering in front of him, as a block of ice emanating dark cold air appeared in his hand.

The moment the ice crystal revealed itself, a black gas immediately surged out, sweeping towards Ye Ji, but Ye Ji was prepared, and promptly wrapped the Yin Ice with his own blood!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

In an instant, Ye Ji's blood was devoured by the Yin Ice, the originally dark yellow blood instantly solidified, sprouting sharp ice thorns like those of a hedgehog!

Ye Ji's face turned pale; Yin Ice could suppress mound spirits, but it required a substantial blood sacrifice. To control the extent of Yin Ice's coverage, the blood had to come from Ye Ji himself!

He had been bleeding himself all these days to nourish the Yin Ice, barely sustaining enough to neutralize Si Hou's magma. This vampiric nourishment inflicted tremendous damage on Ye Ji himself. He had been maintaining a balance so as not to hurt himself, but using it again would freeze and damage his own core, possibly taking years to recover!
