Chapter 641: Prison Lotus! Prison Lotus

Fleeing on a wild Snow Night Shock was already a slow death sentence. But this chase was far too pressing; the Frost Beauty needed time to think, yet the harassment from her pursuers’ Soul Skills left her rattled and unable to concentrate.

But now…

A giant Lotus Petal bloomed furiously before her, forcing the Frost Beauty to change her plans.

She decisively abandoned her mount to face the pursuers behind her!

Just how large was that blooming Lotus? So large that going around it wasn’t even an option!

If the Frost Beauty wanted to detour, she would have to run a great distance sideways. But at the squad’s current pace, she would be caught within a few steps!

To say nothing of the fact that if the three teachers each unleashed a Soldier’s Soul, the Frost Beauty wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

And that was before even considering Cheng Border’s Snow Dragon Tornado. If the Frost Beauty tried to take to the skies again, her fate would be sealed.

In that split second, the Frost Beauty displayed an astonishing will to survive. No longer controlling the Snow Night Shock, she was completely freed up. She grasped the crux of the conflict and whipped her head around to look at Rong Taotao!

The Frost Beauty knew. It was the young man standing on the Snow Night Shock’s back who had unleashed this Lotus Petal.

It was also him who had forcefully snatched her Lotus Petal away back then.

Old grudges and new, they would all be settled today!

‘Even if I die… I’m taking one of you with me!’

The face of that devastatingly beautiful woman, once so charming and alluring, was now incomparably hideous and twisted, especially her eyes, which radiated an immense hatred.

In an instant, a terrifying wave of Spiritual Power surged toward Rong Taotao’s eyes, battering his mind!

“CRACK!”

The others couldn’t hear the sound in Rong Taotao’s head, but to him, it was deafening.

The Bailing Barrier he had erected in his mind couldn’t even withstand a single blow from the Frost Beauty!

After just one attack from the Frost Beauty, the Mental Barrier shattered completely…

‘My god, just how high is the Quality of her Soul Skill? A Master-tier Bailing Barrier was shattered just like that?’

The Frost Beauty’s hateful expression instantly turned to one of extreme satisfaction. Her gaze was incredibly sinister as she stared fiercely at Rong Taotao again.

But Rong Taotao… simply closed his eyes.

The Frost Beauty’s expression froze in shock. !!!

Rong Taotao covered his eyes with his right hand. Behind his black half-mask, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he uttered two words, “Great Snowstorm!”

The rules were the rules…

‘If I can’t see my target’s eyes, I can’t drag their spirit into my world of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon.’

‘Likewise, if you can’t see my eyes, no matter how powerful your Soul Skill is, you can’t invade my Spiritual World or enslave my soul.’

Rong Taotao’s command was clear, but since he hadn’t specified who should cast Great Snowstorm, it led to…

It led to Xia Fangran, Si Huan Nian, Yang Chunxi, and Cheng Border all lunging forward, slamming hard onto the snow, and swiftly plunging their hands into the ground before heaving upward with all their might…

Four people, heaving up a single “Snow Carpet” together.

The sight was nothing short of spectacular!

Thick layers of snow and frozen earth were instantly thrown up, and even the Pine and Cypress forest was uprooted, soaring toward the sky!

Seeing that things were going south, the Frost Beauty hastily stomped her foot and leaped sideways with all her strength. But that entire “Snow Carpet” had torn up the whole forest—did she really think it would miss her?

WHOOSH…

Under the night sky, the furiously blooming Cyan Lotus slowly closed.

The giant Lotus devoured everything, refusing nothing. All that fell into its Lotus Seedpod—trees, rocks, soil, and Shuangxue arcing through the air—was sealed within.

“NEIGH…”

The four Snow Night Shocks whinnied loudly. The four people, who had been crouched on the snow, even mounted their steeds in almost the exact same way.

As their Lifebound Soul Beasts galloped past, they grabbed onto the Snow Night Shocks’ necks, their speed never faltering for a moment.

Then, Rong Taotao entered a dreamlike world.

Above their heads were the thick layers of snow, frozen earth, and broken trees that had been heaved up.

All these things that should have been on the ground now blotted out the sky, forming a dark cloud that obscured the night.

And beneath this peculiar “dark cloud,” the group of five galloped onward, watching the Cyan Lotus Bud ahead that had pierced through the cloud and was now gradually closing and shrinking.

Si Huan Nian’s eyes narrowed slightly. ‘The Lotus is shrinking?’

As the Lotus closed, not only did the Giant Cyan Lotus Bud gradually shrink, but everything trapped inside shrank along with it.

“Whoa!” The group hastily reined in their mounts. A few meters ahead of them, a tiny Cyan Lotus Bud emitting a faint glow stood there eerily.

Inside, the tiny figure of a person could be faintly seen, struggling to survive and desperately seeking a way out.

“Phew…”

Yang Chunxi and Cheng Border both activated their Silk Mist Enchanting Robes, the wide hems of their cloaks spreading out over everyone’s heads to block the falling rocks, soil, and wood fragments.

“Ugh.” Rong Taotao’s face was deathly pale. His body swayed, and he actually fell from his horse.

Si Huan Nian’s reflexes were sharp; she quickly caught him.

Rong Taotao looked to be in terrible shape, his complexion awful, but he let out a chuckle. “Not bad, Coach Xia. But your carpet can only bully Shuangxue. Why couldn’t you flip over the Lotus?”

Xia Fangran: ???

‘Four of us lifted that Snow Carpet together, so why are you only asking me?’

Xia Fangran suddenly threw his arms wide, gesturing emphatically as he roared, “Your Lotus was that big! How was I supposed to flip that over!?”

“Mhm…” With Si Huan Nian’s support, Rong Taotao walked over to the glowing Cyan Lotus Bud.

With a THUD, Rong Taotao fell to his knees and cupped the eerie Lotus Bud in his hands.

He muttered under his breath, “Another strange way to ‘Zhan Mei’ has been added to the list…”

As he spoke, Rong Taotao pressed his palms together, crushing the small Lotus Bud between them, his grip gradually tightening.

Si Huan Nian: “…”

Yang Chunxi: “…”

Rong Taotao gently rubbed his clasped hands together.

When he opened his hands again, there was no trace of the Lotus Petal in his palms. Instead, a sparkling Soul Pearl had appeared.

The others were stunned. They exchanged glances but didn’t dare to disturb Rong Taotao.

However, at this moment, the incredibly imposing and intimidating figure of Rong Taotao couldn’t even last for three seconds.

Already kneeling on the ground, his body suddenly pitched forward, and he collapsed face-first onto the snow…
