Chapter 26 The Dark Penguin of Absolute Secrets
Just as the Icefang Seal collapsed, the Snow Bear unleashed its blizzard breath.
The icy blue whirlwind, carrying countless ice crystals, rushed towards Wu Yi like a giant white dragon.
Although it knew it was no match for Wu Yi, the Snow Bear was not willing to sit idly by and wait for its death.
Moreover, having had their minds corrupted by demonic energy, they knew nothing of fear.
With a flick of his wrist, Wu Yi caused the crimson patterns on the sword to brighten once more.
The fire dragon that had knocked over the Icefang Seal did not dissipate; it then swung its head and met the cold current again.
The blizzard's breath instantly vaporized in the face of the high temperature, turning into a second cloud of white steam that exploded with a deafening sound.
The flames pierced through the steam and struck the Snow Bear directly.
The giant bear, its body covered in frost, let out a mournful howl. The icy armor on its body melted rapidly, revealing its clean, soft fur underneath.
Water droplets trickled down its fur and were then evaporated by the high temperature.
Flames coiled around it, scorching its body.
The snow bear collapsed to the ground with a thud.
General Bearman was horrified at the sight and frantically pounded the ground with his fists, trying to build a snow wall in the snow like Wu Yi.
The snow wall was over ten feet thick, its surface covered with jagged ice spikes, each half a foot long, gleaming with a ghostly blue light in the twilight, like a giant hedgehog shield.
Wu Yi continued walking, the icy blue light flowing across the Heavenly Crystal Sword, and crimson flame patterns dancing on its spine. He raised the sword and gently thrust it forward.
The moment the sword tip touched the ice wall, a tiny red dot appeared on the contact surface.
The red dot rapidly expanded, and a hole appeared in the center of the ice wall after melting through it!
The ice at the edge of the cave did not shatter, but sublimated directly into steam, leaving no water behind, only a smooth edge.
The entire ice wall was pierced by a single sword strike, the edges of the hole as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been meticulously polished, and could even reflect the terrified face of the bear-man general.
The sword's momentum continued; the Heavenly Crystal Sword pierced through the ice wall and thrust straight at the Bearman General.
The fiery sword energy grazed his body, burning away the demonic energy swirling around him with a crackling sound.
The bear-man general screamed and fell to the ground.
"now you."
Wu Yi looked at the Ice Cream General.
General Ice Cream panicked completely when he saw his colleagues suffer defeat after defeat.
He frantically shook the ice cream, flinging off layers of cream, creating a massive cream-filled ice cone formation.
Hundreds of icicles covered the sky, resembling a sweet downpour in the twilight.
Each icicle is as thick as a wrist, covered in sticky syrup, leaving colorful trails in the air like a bizarre rain of candy.
Wu Yi didn't even lift his eyelids. With a gentle swing of the Heavenly Crystal Sword, the high-temperature flames erupting from the sword instantly turned all the creamy ice cones into charcoal.
Black fragments fluttered down, starkly contrasting against the white snow, like a strange black snowfall.
Some of the ice cream crumbs landed on General Ice Cream, burning him so badly he screamed.
The ice cream melted completely under the high temperature, leaving only a bare cone stick in my hand.
Cream dripped down the Ice Cream General's hand, making a hissing sound as it fell onto the snow, sending up wisps of white smoke.
The greedy snowman originally intended to take advantage of the chaos and launch a sneak attack on Wu Yi.
Unexpectedly, with Wu Yi's current strength, he could always be aware of the changes around him, so much so that it was cut down with a sword as soon as it appeared.
If it even shows its head, it'll be gone in a second!
The three generals and several magical beasts have all lost their fighting ability!
But the battle is far from over!
On the snow-covered slope, the dark penguin colony still stood in an arc formation.
The four magic mirrors glowed with a dark purple light in the twilight, their angles carefully adjusted to cover all possible directions of Wu Yi's movement.
Jue Tianji made thorough preparations for this battle; the Dark Penguin's magic mirror could absorb all energy attacks and then reflect them back.
In the original story, Nangong Wentian's Flame Crystal Fire Dragon was easily swallowed by the Demon Mirror.
Wu Yi took a step forward, and the crimson patterns on the Heavenly Crystal Sword suddenly shone brightest.
A fire dragon detached from the sword and roared as it pounced towards the group of dark penguins.
Wherever the fire dragon passed, the snow instantly vaporized, rising into a white mist in the canyon, revealing charred rocks on the ground.
All four magic mirrors lit up simultaneously.
The dark purple mirror began to writhe as if it were alive, with eerie ripples spreading across its surface, like countless eyes blinking at the same time.
The fire dragon crashed straight into the first magic mirror.
There was no explosion, no loud noise.
The crimson flames seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, twisted and stretched, and then silently swallowed by the mirror.
The dark purple light on the surface of the magic mirror suddenly brightened after swallowing the flames, and the mirror surface trembled slightly, emitting a satisfied "hum".
The first magic mirror passed the remaining flames to the second, and the second to the third. The four magic mirrors, like four buckets relaying water, absorbed the entire fire dragon from head to tail!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jue Tianji's shrill laughter echoed from the depths of the canyon, tinged with smugness and madness.
"Nangong Yi! Do you think the Flame Crystal is invincible? My Dark Penguin Squad is the perfect counter to all energy attacks! No matter how strong your flames are, they're nothing more than nourishment for them!"
The dark penguins all took a step forward in unison, their steps as precise as if they were in a military parade.
The dark purple light on the magic mirror grew brighter and brighter, even faintly tinged with a crimson hue.
That's the power of the Flame Crystal they just absorbed, which is being converted into their own energy.
The mirror surface bulged slightly, as if it were about to burst, yet it greedily devoured every wisp of flame.
"It's not over yet!" Jue Tianji shrieked, his voice laced with a morbid excitement. "Magic Mirror—Reflect!"
The dark penguins adjusted their formation, and the four magic mirrors simultaneously flipped their angles, suddenly spewing out a crimson flame from their surfaces.
This is the very fire dragon that Wu Yi just unleashed!
This time, however, the dragon's eyes burned with dark purple demonic light, and black patterns wrapped around its body. Its power was even greater than before, and it charged back at Wu Yi with an evil aura.
Wu Yi stood still, motionless.
Flames rushed towards him, and just as they were about to touch his face, the crimson patterns on the Heavenly Crystal Sword glowed slightly, absorbing all the backlash flames back into the sword.
The Celestial Crystal Beast was bound to Wu Yi's soul, and the power of the Celestial Crystal could not harm its master. The reflected flames were simply a sign that it was returning home.
The crimson patterns on the sword pulsed a few times, as if absorbing the power.
"Is that all you've got?" Wu Yi's tone held no sarcasm, only a chilling calmness.
Jue Tianji's laughter stopped abruptly, as if someone had grabbed his neck.
"Since you like fire, then you can eat your fill!"
Wu Yi raised the Heavenly Crystal Sword again. This time, the light on the sword suddenly changed.
The icy blue light did not disappear, but flowed quietly along the blade like a stream. However, the crimson line in the center of the spine suddenly shone brightly, spreading from the guard to the tip of the sword, like a river of burning lava.
The interplay of ice and fire on the azure sword blade bathed the snow valley in a magnificent halo of blue and red light, like the aurora borealis descending to earth.
Under Wu Yi's control, the fire dragon slashed out once again!
