Chapter 518: Moving Killing Intentions

Her ability to handle various unexpected situations was also far superior to anyone else's.

The sword light she unleashed at that moment possessed incredibly powerful ice elemental energy. It's common knowledge that ice counters water. While fire can also counteract water elemental energy, there's a significant difference in their effectiveness. Ice elemental energy, however, is completely different. Even if its inherent elemental power is weaker than the opponent's, it can still greatly suppress the fluidity of water elemental energy.

As expected, the ice sword plunged directly into the energy bodies of the two water dragons, swiftly unleashing a powerful freezing effect. The two water dragon totems, which had originally possessed immense impact force, became sluggish, and their destructive power was infinitely suppressed.

Soon, the giant wine barrel was completely sealed by pure ice elemental energy. One advantage of this was that Xiaohua would no longer be subjected to subsequent powerful energy impacts. However, there was also a disadvantage: she herself was firmly trapped inside the barrel. Unless the giant barrel was removed, it would be difficult for her to escape.

"Heh heh, you've probably just dug your own grave. Do you really think that by freezing Fifth Sister's power, you can free yourself from the seal? Ridiculous!"

The strongest member of the trio suddenly made a move. With a shake of his palm in mid-air, a silver bell artifact materialized.

To be honest, it was rather embarrassing for a grown man to use such an exquisite bell as a magical artifact. However, Xiaohua quickly dropped her mocking demeanor.

She suddenly realized that this silver bell was actually a divine artifact that had mysteriously disappeared a long time ago in ancient times. Although its power was not comparable to divine artifacts like the Nine-Colored Qiankun Bell, it could be compared to those on the level of the Sword of Kings!

The silver bell continuously expanded in the void, slowly ascending above the giant wine barrel.

"Originally, you still had a chance to break free. But when you chose to seal Fifth Sister's water dragons with ice power, you sealed your own fate and eliminated any chance of survival. Because ice is quite dense, you've essentially blocked all the movable space inside the barrel yourself. Therefore, the mental interference power released by my silver bell will be amplified infinitely by reflection. In the end, you've dug your own grave and will die because of your own arrogance!"

Xiaohua dismissed the man's taunts with disdain. "If you truly had strength," she retorted, "you wouldn't try to disturb my mind with such verbal interference. True powerhouses disdain wasting words on insignificant ants like you."

Xiaohua's words clearly enraged the man in front of her. At that moment, the giant silver bell artifact also revealed its true power.

Terrifying soul-interfering sound waves quickly emerged. Like solid blades of light, they swiftly enveloped the giant wine barrel. Following countless crevices around the inside of the barrel, these sound waves continuously intensified as they bounced and refracted off the solid ice. By the time they reached the very bottom of the barrel where Xiaohua was, they had become incredibly terrifying!

"I can't believe I've encountered such a miraculous soul-attacking artifact. If my Exquisite Pagoda hadn't been shattered, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"

It turned out that Xiaohua had not brought the true form of her most powerful Endless Tower to this battle. The Exquisite Pagoda was merely another one of her magical treasures. At this moment, apart from the Heart of Angels, she likely had no other truly powerful trump cards.

"Hahahaha," the bell's owner scoffed. "I originally thought you were the strongest person besides Xu Yang. But now it seems you're completely overrated and can't withstand a single blow!"

The owner of the silver bell began to mock Xiaohua mercilessly. And indeed, he seemed to have the right to do so, as Xiaohua was currently in an extremely difficult and passive state under his pressure.

However, this fellow ultimately made a mistake: he underestimated Xiaohua's desire to fight. How could a revered Carefree Dao Monarch be blasphemed by a mere junior like him?

In the next instant, Xiaohua, trapped within the wine barrel, finally showed a faint smile. For the first time, a desire to kill appeared in her eyes.

"Since you three are so aggressive," she said, "don't blame me for being merciless."

Finally, Xiaohua's chilling killing intent rapidly erupted. In just an instant, this surging killing aura broke free from the barrel and its surrounding containment, spreading throughout the surrounding void. A dense aura, like that of purgatory, swiftly enveloped the entire battlefield.

"What's going on? Her aura has undergone such an astonishing change!"

The trio was greatly startled. They had never imagined that Xiaohua was only now beginning to get serious after all this time.

"I told you," Xiaohua stated, "I originally had no killing intent towards the three of you. But now that you've been so disrespectful, I can only teach you how to behave."

Xiaohua wasn't just talking. Her chilling killing intent had already begun to spread from this local battlefield to the surroundings. One should know that Xiaohua had once single-handedly confronted Xu Yang's entire team; provoking her was as terrifying as offending an Asura god.

"Absolute Ice Seal!"

With a soft cry, Xiaohua's aura exploded outward, utterly shattering the wine barrel, which was filled with solid ice. Even the divine artifact, the silver bell, hovering above the barrel, was greatly shaken, trembling and emitting sounds that indicated it could collapse at any moment.

"No! My precious!"

The Drunkard was undoubtedly the most heartbroken. Not only was this barrel used for combat, but he also relied on it for brewing wine. Watching his beloved treasure shatter at Xiaohua's hands, the Drunkard fell into a complete rage, suddenly letting out a roar. He completely succumbed to a drunken state. In this drunken state, the Drunkard, like a reckless berserker, charged hysterically towards Xiaohua's body.

Unfortunately, Xiaohua was now intending to get serious. The three in front of her had no chance whatsoever. Her ghost-like figure swiftly vanished. When she reappeared in the same spot in the void, Xiaohua was already sitting astride the Drunkard's neck, with one hand resting firmly on the top of his head.

With just a slight exertion of force, the Drunkard would be instantly killed by Xiaohua. This was her true power! When Xiaohua intended to eliminate someone, she would unleash an irresistible aura of killing intent, inspiring fear.

Under the shroud of that aura, Xiaohua was probably the most terrifying assassin on the entire continent.

"Remember my current form," Xiaohua declared. "This inheritance is called the Netherworld Enchantress Body, the continent's lost ultimate path of slaughter. To die by the hand of this inheritance, you should be proud."
