章 314: Chapter 314 : Succession To The Throne (9)

The Corrupted Taotie managed to pull out his claws from the ice barrier shortly before the ice blades arrived to tear him into a thousand pieces.

The beast let itself fall into the pond. While half of Xie Jianyu's ice blades failed to hit their target, the other half managed to stab into the Corrupted Taotie.

A cascade of blood erupted from the wounds inflicted by Xie Jianyu's ice blades, staining the crystal-clear pond water a deep crimson.

The water churned and bubbled as the beast struggled for some time, and then the water returned to its peaceful state.

"Jianbao!!!"

Xie Jianyu, who had been staring at the water surface intensely, raised his head to look at his husband, who was still trapped inside his ice barrier.

With a wave of his hand, the ice barrier dissolved into nothingness.

Pale from fright, Zhang Fengxi approached his wife and took him in his arms.

"Baby, why are you still here? Why didn't you return to Fuxi Palace?"
