Chapter 1391: Goddess Scattering Flowers

This scene left the experts of both races deeply surprised.

The white-robed man had been hunted all the way by the Rainbow Rat and had been gravely wounded, hovering at death’s door. They had thought he was already at the end of his strength and could only wait to be slaughtered, but he did not seem as fragile as they had imagined.

Looking at the man in the snow, Qin Sang was secretly astonished. He had thought a treasure was hidden here. It turned out to be a person!

Qin Sang keenly noticed that the eyes of the others, humans and demons alike, had suddenly turned fervent. His heart stirred slightly. It seemed this man had some secret on him.

The white-robed man had unexpectedly appeared. For a moment, the battlefield seemed to freeze.

He looked around, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as a mocking expression appeared on his face. Raising his palm, he said in an icy tone, “Aren’t you looking for this? Take it!”

Resting on the white-robed man’s palm was a square ice box.

The ice box had been carved from mystic ice, its surface engraved with dragons and phoenixes. The light of barriers flowed over it, making it exquisitely beautiful and clearly extraordinary.

A treasure stored in such an ice box was definitely no ordinary object!

Before his voice had even faded, the white-robed man suddenly exerted his strength and hurled the ice box high into the sky.

Whoosh! The ice box was wrapped in a ray of white light. Its speed was astonishing, and it came straight toward Qin Sang and Bifang from a tricky angle.

The battlefield instantly fell into an uproar.

Excluding the white-robed man, this small barren island had gathered five Spiritual Infant Realm cultivators and six great demon kings. All of them were shrewd and cunning old foxes.

They suspected the white-robed man was using a fake treasure to lure them away from the true target, creating an opportunity for himself to escape, yet they also feared that the ice box really contained the treasure and that someone else would seize it.

Master Feng’s expression shifted uncertainly. Cunning Fox and the frog-fish were already approaching the deep valley.

Unlike Master Feng, they did not face such a dilemma and immediately decided to split up. The ice box had to be seized, and the man also had to be kept behind!

Cunning Fox let out a sharp cry. With a sweep of her fluffy tail, she suddenly leaped up. The frog-fish, meanwhile, stared fixedly at the white-robed man.

The others were unwilling to fall behind as well and all attacked to seize it. Streams of light flew chaotically through the air.

Master Feng moved the fastest. His true body continued charging toward the deep valley, while his left arm trembled lightly. An almost transparent thread suddenly sprang up and shot toward the ice box with a swish.

The thread looked delicate and fragile, but it was exceedingly nimble. In the blink of an eye, it was about to touch the ice box, faster even than Cunning Fox.

A strange light flashed through Cunning Fox’s eyes. She opened her mouth wide. No sound could be heard, yet ring after ring of invisible sound waves rippled outward and locked onto the thread!

Cunning Fox seemed able to freeze space itself. The thread instantly felt as though it had fallen into a mire. Its speed plummeted, and it became sluggish.

Back then, if Qin Sang had not injured Cunning Fox heavily with the first strike, she would probably have caused him even more trouble.

Affected by Cunning Fox, the thread failed to coil around the ice box. Master Feng was furious and poured his true essence wildly into the thread. In an instant, the shadow of a whip snapped up viciously and lashed toward Cunning Fox.

Cunning Fox did not dare take it head-on and was forced to dodge.

The ice box, which had almost been caught by Cunning Fox, was struck by the aftershock. The white light trembled, and its direction suddenly changed, flying toward Island Master Shen.

Annoyance flashed through Cunning Fox’s eyes. Just as she was about to continue fighting for the ice box, she suddenly felt a shudder run through her.

This feeling was far too familiar. Cunning Fox’s mind trembled, and her figure involuntarily paused.

Crack! A bolt of heavenly lightning descended in front of Cunning Fox.

It was the Lightning Control Technique again! However, Qin Sang’s target this time was not his opponent, but the ice box!

Boom! The ice box was struck directly by the heavenly lightning. When everyone present saw this scene, their hearts could not help but jump violently. They cursed Qin Sang inwardly for daring to act.

If the treasure’s nature was fragile, this strike would have turned everyone’s efforts into nothing.

The white light wrapped around the ice box could not withstand the Lightning Control Technique and was split open by the lightning, revealing the body of the ice box. Amid the dazzling lightning, the ice box shattered with a crack, sending ice fragments flying and revealing a jade-white object.

“Snow-Patterned Cold Jade...” Qin Sang recognized the object at a glance and was greatly disappointed.

Snow-Patterned Cold Jade was a type of Cold Jade, named for the snowflake-like patterns on its surface. It was indeed a rare treasure, and this piece of Snow-Patterned Cold Jade was also of very high quality, but it was still not something that would make so many powerful experts fight desperately over it.

Just as Qin Sang broke open the ice box, the barren island suddenly shook violently. A bone-piercing cold current surged continuously out of the deep valley.

From outside the island, one could clearly see a white stream of ice erupting from the ground before exploding in mid-air, transforming into an extremely cold ice blast.

A terrifying impact spread out at the same time. The frog-fish, who was closest to the deep valley, bore the brunt of it. Sensing danger, he hurriedly spat out green light, which turned into a thin garment to protect his body.

The cold current surged endlessly. The stone walls of the deep valley were blasted apart, revealing dazzling white light within. The outline of a spiritual array vaguely emerged.

It was the turn of spring and summer. Yet the barren island had entered winter ahead of time.

The ice blast was vast and mighty, covering more than half the deserted island. Everything in sight was a blinding white.

Along with the cold current, dozens of identical ice boxes shot out, scattering in different directions like a goddess scattering flowers.

The figure of the white-robed man vanished into thin air, merging into the ice blast.

The next moment, more than a dozen men in white appeared in everyone’s vision, borrowing the force of the cold current to rush in all directions.

It turned out that the white-robed man had long since arranged a backup plan.

The ice box he had thrown out had merely been a diversion. He had not expected it to fool many people. He had only wanted to make the situation even more chaotic so he could escape.

For a moment, ice and snow flew across the battlefield, and everything descended into disorder.

The eagle demon, the azure snake demon, Island Master Shen, and the others had no time to continue fighting. They all rushed toward the cold current.

If the white-robed man escaped, all their efforts would amount to nothing. What benefit would they gain from fighting each other to the death?

Bifang had originally intended to fight for the first ice box, but after seeing that it contained only a piece of Snow-Patterned Cold Jade and that the white-robed man was trying to escape, he immediately chose to give up on the Snow-Patterned Cold Jade.

Although no one knew what the white-robed man had brought out from Mystic Heaven Palace, no matter how diminished Mystic Heaven Palace was, it would never treat Snow-Patterned Cold Jade as its ultimate treasure.

Qin Sang, however, showed no courtesy and grabbed the Snow-Patterned Cold Jade into his hand.

It seems like the white-robed man still has something better on him... He pondered. He looked thoughtfully toward the cold current, his expression utterly calm, and ordered the Sky-Eyed Butterfly to activate its supernatural ability with all its strength and see through the man’s trick.

The man’s methods could be considered brilliant. Ice boxes flew everywhere, some real and some fake, truth and illusion mixed together.

Those clones were also extremely agile and lifelike, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

If there had only been one or two enemies, there was a decent chance that the white-robed man could have confused them and made them miss the opportunity.

Unfortunately, far too many experts had gathered on the island. Facing so many people, these methods were stretched thin. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the illusions had been broken.

Qin Sang, in particular, easily locked onto the man's true body. Bifang and the others were not as direct as the Sky-Eyed Butterfly, but they were all extremely experienced in battle and were only one step slower than Qin Sang.

Just as Qin Sang was about to act and seize the initiative, the Sky-Eyed Butterfly suddenly sent a warning, having discovered something unusual at the edge of the battlefield.

Everyone was fighting and scrambling amid the ice blast. The battlefield was in complete chaos.

The Rainbow Rat poked his head out from between the cracks in the rocks. Taking advantage of the chaos, he darted out of the crevice, his entire body seeming to be wrapped in icicles. He merged with the ice blast and silently rushed out of the barren island, actually deceiving everyone’s eyes.

However, no matter how brilliant a concealment method was, under the Sky Eyes, there was nowhere to hide.
