Chu Liuyue stared at it closely, and her entire heart beat intensely!


Dong dong! 


The knocking sound was urgent and powerful, and it seemed like it contained a strange and peculiar rhythm.


Chu Liuyue’s ears seemed to be whirring with the blood, and gradually, they even started to hurt. There seemed to be someone holding an ax and crazily knocking it against her forehead, wanting to struggle free from it!


Her blood circulated, and the pain became increasingly intense!

!!

“Caw!” Suddenly, a clear shriek was heard!


Chu Liuyue was shocked and finally recovered her senses!


Her body trembled slightly. She belatedly discovered the scene that flashed across her mind because she actually got intoxicated by the strange knocks.


Just a little more—


Chu Liuyue knitted her brows tightly and had lingering fears. Her mentality had always been very strong, and she would rarely be lured by such methods. However, she almost fell into the trap in such a short amount of time. This showed how strong the other party was!


If Tuan Zi didn’t wake me up in time, I really can’t guess what the consequences would’ve been. Chu Liuyue held her breath in and calmed down her wildly beating heart.


Dong dong! 


When she listened again, that sound was no different from ordinary knocks.


Chu Liuyue no longer had the panic.


Ka! 


Suddenly, a soft shatter was heard.


Chu Liuyue felt that it wasn’t good!


She looked over and indeed saw a crack on the bottom rock!


That crack was about an inch long, and it was very faint and small, but this caused Chu Liuyue to be taken aback when she saw it!


A sinisterly cold aura rapidly spread around!


The coldness immediately wrapped around Chu Liuyue.


A chill unwittingly ran down her spine, and she immediately urged the force in her body. A red-golden fire then rapidly spread from her palm, instantly covering her entire body.


When the fire was separated by the terrifying coldness, Chu Liuyue then looked down.


A thin layer of frost had formed on the crack, but that frost was b.l.o.o.d.y! It seemed like broken shards of a brilliant red ruby and, at the same time, frozen blood droplets. They were iridescent yet strange.


Very quickly, a second crack appeared at the side. Its surface was also similarly covered in b.l.o.o.d.y frost.


An intense b.l.o.o.d.y smell spread across the area.


As the water in the fountain wasn’t real water but liquid composed of Heaven and Earth Force, Chu Liuyue could breathe normally here.


That b.l.o.o.d.y smell wafted toward the tip of her nose.


Her heart suddenly skipped a beat!


I mustn’t let this item break! This thought rapidly flashed across Chu Liuyue’s mind.


She clenched her teeth, wielded the sword, and suddenly hacked at the rock!


Instantly, the b.l.o.o.d.y frost flew everywhere! But the next moment, those cubical pieces of blood droplets quickly returned to their original spot and gathered again.


Whoosh—


A sharp sound was heard.


The Chi Xiao Sword scratched a long mark on the rock. However, this mark was much lighter and smaller than the cracks inside the rock.


Chu Liuyue clenched her teeth. If I want to prevent the item from coming out, I have to rely on strong force to suppress it from the outside. This is also the reason why the elders have continuously guided lightning bolts here for so many years. 


It’s a pity that Tuan Zi has absorbed quite a bit of the lightning bolts from the fountain, which resulted in the current situation. If I want to salvage the situation now, the only way is to carve a Xuan formation to suppress the force! 


However, it was indeed very difficult for her to execute the Xuan formations with her current abilities. Hence, she wanted to use the Chi Xiao Sword to forcefully carve the Xuan formation on the surface.


It was a pity that a treasure as distinguished as the Chi Xiao Sword also paled in comparison to the rock. Before a quarter of the Xuan formation was carved out, the rock cracked from the inside!


At this point, time seemed to pa.s.s extremely slowly.


The cracks on the rock became increasingly numerous. Every crack was covered in the strange, b.l.o.o.d.y frost.


Gradually, they formed a familiar pattern—exactly the same as the one on the ice surface!


Chu Liuyue already couldn’t remember how many times she had swung the sword. Every single time, she tried her best.


Tsing! 


Finally, the tip of the sword hit the rock. It rebounded, and the sword body shook.


The blade silently broke and cracked!


The fresh red blood flowed out and froze before it even landed.


In no time, Chu Liuyue’s hands were covered in a thin layer of frost. The coldness rapidly entered her body from her wound and started infiltrating her limbs!


Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes and instinctively wanted to retreat! However, it was too late!


Invisibly, there seemed to be a sharp claw that forcefully barged into her body with terrifying speed and sensitivity. Additionally, it started to furiously claw at her every Yuan meridian!


The excruciating pain spread all over her body!


In her surroundings, that red-golden fire also started to extinguish at an observable speed!


Very quickly, Chu Liuyue’s body was completely immersed in the chilling fountain water! The b.l.o.o.d.y frost on her hand started spreading in all directions.


In no time, frost wrapped her arms, shoulders, and even her neck.


Chu Liuyue forcefully raised her hands, wanting to wield the Chi Xiao Sword. But at this point, her hands seemed to have lost control and became stiffer than ever.


At some moment, she weakly loosened her grip.


The Chi Xiao Sword fell silently and drew light ripples on the fountain water. Finally, it landed on the bottom rock.


The coldness surged up, and the b.l.o.o.d.y frost completely froze the Chi Xiao Sword.


Chu Liuyue felt that her face was already cold. She knew that the coldness had already spread to her face.


That familiar yet strange aura caused her heart to tremble slightly. It was a pity that this force was too strong. Any struggle or resistance seemed weak.


Intense b.l.o.o.d.y water gradually spread across the clear and deep fountain water. It wasn’t the b.l.o.o.d.y water that spread around but the b.l.o.o.d.y frost that gathered from the most extreme depths.


Chu Liuyue’s consciousness gradually became blurred.


The coldness spread all around and wrapped around her heavily. Her eyelids started to become very heavy.


Cold, lethargic…


The surroundings were silent in this fountain. It seemed like all the sounds had been absorbed, and it was scarily quiet.


Ripples moved in the water.


Chu Liuyue’s surroundings had been completely covered by the b.l.o.o.d.y frost. At first glance, she seemed like an intricately carved sculpture composed of crystal-clear blood jade.


Ka. 


The last crack finally appeared!


A complete pattern appeared on the rock! The next moment, the terrifying coldness instantly surged up like the floodgates were opened and instantly exploded!


Rumble!
