"Oh, oh! I'm so scared..."
Hearing the opponent's threat, Ling Tian put on a very exaggerated expression. He looked scared, but in reality, he was full of mockery and teasing.
"Human, you will pay for your arrogance..."
Before he could finish, something appeared in Ling Tian's hand. He threw it directly next to Nu Lin Luoyun.
Nu Lin Luoyun was greatly alarmed. What Ling Tian threw was a merman's head, and when it saw the appearance of the head, it instantly went mad!
This was the head of his brother, the merman commander Nu Lin Jing Tao!
Nu Lin Luoyun had been mentally prepared for her brother's death, as this was the fate of a warrior. A true warrior would rather die on the battlefield than lie in bed and rot away.
However, she could not accept that her brother was killed by a human!
"Trying to go to the island for reinforcements, right? I advise you not to bother. All the merfolk on the island have been killed. Haha...
I advise you to surrender obediently!"
"Die!"
Nu Lin Luoyun was enraged. It directly plunged its staff into the seawater, and five water arrows shot out from the water towards Ling Tian.
Taking this opportunity, Nu Lin Luoyun prepared to sink into the water and escape using water遁.
However, at this moment, a blue light suddenly erupted on the sea surface, and then Nu Lin Luoyun was horrified to find that its body, mainly its lower half, was frozen!
The sea surface around its body, spanning over ten square meters, was suddenly frozen, forming a giant block of ice. Standing on the ice was a white giant bear, about three meters tall.
This giant bear did not resemble an ordinary polar bear, but rather a ferocious black bear. However, everything on this bear was white, as if it were composed of ice and snowflakes!
This was Ling Tian's Ice Soul Giant Bear.
It had been some time since Ling Tian last summoned the Ice Soul Giant Bear. Compared to then, the Ice Soul Giant Bear's size had shrunk by nearly 40%. However, its body had become more condensed and solid, a result of being continuously nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spiritual realm space.
After its appearance, the Ice Soul Giant Bear happily came to Ling Tian's side and rubbed its large head against him. Ling Tian could feel the terrifying cold air emanating from the giant bear.
However, this behemoth could now control the outward diffusion of cold air quite well. When Ling Tian touched it, he could only feel a temperature similar to that of ordinary ice.
The mermaid's vitality was indeed tenacious. Even with its lower body frozen in the ice, it was still struggling stubbornly, trying to break free from the ice. But all this was in vain.
Ling Tian walked onto the ice and looked at Nu Lin Luoyun with a stern gaze.
"Please, spare me. I don't want to die!" Nu Lin Luoyun communicated with Ling Tian through a secret method, its eyes filled with pleading.
However, through his Heavenly Eye divine ability, Ling Tian detected a fleeting trace of venom in the female merman's eyes.
Ling Tian had initially intended to let it go and then interrogate it harshly to extract information about the merfolk from its mouth.
But now, Ling Tian had changed his mind. He remembered the saying: "Those who are not of our kind surely have different hearts."
Moreover, for someone like Ling Tian, there was no need to personally inquire to obtain information; he had faster methods!
So, Ling Tian chanted incantations, and suddenly, above the merman, a giant cauldron with a diameter of over two meters appeared. This cauldron was bathed in seven-colored light, clearly not an ordinary item.
Three seal script characters were also engraved on the cauldron: Soul Refining Cauldron!
As Ling Tian recited the incantation, the lid of the Soul Refining Cauldron opened, and a beam of fire was released from the cauldron, instantly engulfing the merman.
The next moment, the merman's body was burned to ashes. These ashes, along with the merman's soul, were all collected into the Soul Refining Cauldron.
Ling Tian put away the Soul Refining Cauldron and immediately mounted his flying sword, heading towards the Ice Queen.
At this time, with Yamawaro's heavy blow from his large club flattening a merman's head, there was no living merman left on the ice surrounding the Ice Queen.
Everyone put down their weapons, but the ice was cold, and they collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
Orora quickly ordered people from the ship to rescue the wounded.
Amamiya Yui also looked exhausted. She forced herself to endure her fatigue and recalled all the Shikigami one by one.
After such a long period of intense combat, the Shikigami had also sustained quite a few injuries.
Soon, the doctors gathered the wounded. The situation was dire. Over ten people had died, and more than twenty were severely wounded.
These were not ordinary severe injuries. Those with severed limbs or pierced shoulders were not considered severely wounded. These truly severely wounded individuals had their chests ripped open, or their bodies pierced by steel forks, and had lost a lot of blood, lying on the verge of death.
It was only because these people were mostly ability users that they managed to cling to life with their strong physiques, but it seemed they wouldn't last much longer.
Getting these injured people onto the ship was not an easy task, as it could easily cause secondary injuries. Therefore, the ship's doctors suggested to Orora that they set up tents directly on the ice and provide rescue for some of the severely wounded.
Orora readily agreed. However, there were less than ten doctors and nurses on the ship in total, and they couldn't attend to so many severely wounded individuals, which made Orora a bit dejected.
After all, these people were her confidantes, having followed her father and herself for so many years. Although Orora appeared cold on the surface, she was still very sentimental.
Amamiya Yui walked up to Orora.
"Sister Orora, could you please ask those doctors to gather the severely wounded together? I still have some abilities that can alleviate their injuries to some extent."
Orora's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Alright, Sister Yui."
Soon, a large tent was erected on the ice. The dozen or so severely wounded were gathered inside the tent. Doctors were performing emergency hemostasis and suturing their wounds, and administering adrenaline injections to a few critically ill patients.
Amamiya Yui took off the bell around her neck and shook it in her hand. The crisp bell sound rang out, and the next moment, two small figures appeared before Amamiya Yui.
One of them was dressed in green and was about the size of a baby. The small body floated in mid-air. This was a beautiful little girl, holding a large dandelion in her hand.
"Hotarugusa, please!"
