C528 Su Lin's choice
After falling down from the fire field's volcano, Lei Yang had already brought Xiang Yu into another world.
Everything in this world was sealed in ice, and all of it was formed from sparkling and translucent ice. At a glance, it was practically a transparent world.
Furthermore, the light in this place was very good, and his field of vision was especially wide. With a single glance, Lei Yang determined that there was no danger here.
However, this kind of coldness was indeed bone-chilling cold. Even if Lei Yang used his cultivation to form a protective shield against the cold, they could still feel the bone-piercing cold.
It was as if the cold air could seep into the blood vessels of a person, causing them to shiver uncontrollably. Lei Yang was still alright, but it was very difficult for Xiang Yu to resist, thus, intentionally or not, he tightened his grip on the slender and soft arm around Lei Yang's neck.
Her head was leaning on Lei Yang's face, her warm breath continued to fall on Lei Yang's neck, causing Lei Yang's heart to suddenly feel like it was on fire.
Because he knew that his brother was following closely behind, Lei Yang quickly threw Xiang Yu's waist away, and took a step back and asked sternly: "Miss Xiang Yu, how is it, is it better now?"
Xiang Yu had probably realized that he had lost control of himself earlier, hence he shyly lowered his head, lightly nodded, and his exquisite face instantly flushed red. He looked extremely charming and cute, almost melting Lei Yang's heart.
Those who entered the ice crystal world afterwards were all frozen and trembled in fear. This was not only because of the cold here, but also because they had just arrived from the scorching fire field, as if they had experienced the extreme heat and coldness in an instant. The difference in environment was too great, so they needed to undergo a period of adjustment.
At this time, all the cultivators who had been to the ice plains before immediately recognized this familiar environment. This was the so-called ice plains from before.
And after experiencing the mountains and fire field, and the present ice plains, all of the cultivators began to discuss and communicate with each other. In their hearts, they had already guessed that the World Tree was actually a combination of all five regions of the middle boundary of cauldron.
From this, it was inferred that there would be two worlds further up, the desert and the darksteel world. After that, they would reach the top of the World Tree.
Because it was too cold, many cultivators felt as if their bodies were being frozen, thus, even though Lei Yang knew that there wasn't much time left, the entire brotherly army of three had no choice but to stay in place, letting them continuously release their cultivation to adjust to the extremely cold environment in their bodies.
Time passed by in a flash. Another day had passed and the brothers had finally managed to gradually adapt to the climate of the ice plains while constantly adjusting their breathing. Then, Lei Yang once again led the way, moving forward by a slow and extremely fast pace.
Although the speed of advancing to the source of ice was not fast, and they also encountered some ice type demon beasts, they basically didn't have any big troubles, so the brothers' army advanced very smoothly.
Another three days passed by in a flash. Three days later, Lei Yang arrived under a huge tree based on the aura of the water origin energy in his body.
This large tree grew within this world of ice. It was as tall as a massive mountain, and its surroundings were all empty fields of ice. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing.
This tree was very strange. It was completely made of ice. Whether it was the trunk or the branches, they were all made of ice. It was completely transparent and looked very strange.
However, the strangest thing was that through these transparent ice crystals, one could see that in the center of the tree, there was actually a raging fire that was burning non-stop.
Lei Yang used the naked eye to deduce that the temperature of the fire wasn't low. Logically speaking, it should have burnt the trunk of this tree and caused the huge ice crystal tree to suddenly collapse, because water and fire weren't compatible to begin with.
However, at this moment, a strange state of fusion of ice and fire appeared, which made Lei Yang feel strange.
Relying on that strand of water origin aura, Lei Yang could feel that the teleportation circle leading up to the top of the ice crystal tree just happened to be at the top of the tree, so he planned to go up and check if it was safe.
Although the figure had an extremely strong cultivation aura, it gave Lei Yang a very familiar feeling. Upon landing, it had transformed into a handsome youth that Lei Yang did not want to go up and down with, causing Lei Yang to be unable to resist a burst of pleasant surprise.
"Brother Su Su Lin, why are you here?" Seeing that the person who had come was Su Lin, who had separated from him for several months in the ice plains, Lei Yang immediately exclaimed out in pleasant surprise. After that, he even passionately walked forward, wanting to embrace him.
At this time, Yan Guixing and Yang Shuo also walked up and greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother Su, it's been a few months since we last met, but I never thought that you'd actually come here before us!"
Lei Yang, Yan Guixing and Yang Shuo all had emotions in their eyes, but at this time, Su Lin's face remained calm, and even carried a gloomy and cold killing intent. Just as the three of them stepped forward, completely unprepared, Su Lin suddenly extended his hand out and grabbed the ball of flame from the trunk of the ice crystal tree behind him.
Without any explanation or warning, a sea of fire that blotted the sky condensed into a sea of fire and pressed down towards the trio.
The three people's expressions immediately changed. Lei Yang pushed both Yan Guixing and Yang Shuo away with his palm: "Hurry and go, it's dangerous!" Then, with lightning speed, he took out his fire source and instantly swallowed that burning flame.
"Brother Su, what are you doing? Don't tell me you don't recognize us?" and Yang Shuo who were flying backwards asked as they looked at Su Lin in confusion.
However, Lei Yang, who was standing at the very front, did not speak. He felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, because the moment Su Lin attacked them earlier, he saw that a golden cauldron imprint had also appeared on his forehead.
After Su Lin heard this, he finally opened his mouth: "Who are you, I do not know you, I am the guardian of this place, Su Lin, do not try to build a relationship with me, if you want to pass the trial, you can either use your source energy in exchange, or else you will have to step over my corpse."
"Your Brother Su, how did you become like this?" Yan Guixing spread out his hands. He really didn't understand what was going on.
But just at that moment, Lei Yang saw it clearly. When Su Lin said that, his eyes revealed a struggling look, as though two different thoughts were fighting in his mind. Although he looked normal on the surface, his heart was not feeling good.
I'll tell you the truth, if the Second Brother wants to kill you, it will only take a few minutes to completely destroy you. You were able to climb up to be a brother of the Second Brother, that's akin to climbing onto a high branch. Yan Guixing and Yang Shuo could not get angry due to the lack of face, but Zhang Qing did not care about that.
He did not know this Su Lin fellow, so he did not need to care about face, and immediately scolded him.
But Lei Yang understood the reason behind this, he knew that there was definitely a secret behind this. Thus, he beckoned for everyone to quiet down, then looked at Su Lin and asked: "Brother, did you encounter some kind of obstacle that you can't get over? Did you tell us to settle it together with everyone?"
But at this time, Su Lin did not care about it at all. With a grasp of his hands, the ball of flames in his hands turned into a flaming sharp sword, releasing an astonishing pressure, he slashed towards Lei Yang and shouted: "Stop with the nonsense, hand over your life!"
But at this moment, Lei Yang stood there motionlessly, as if he did not plan to retaliate at all. Zhang Qing and Xie Jun, who were behind him, fiercely shouted, "Second Brother, Second Brother, you're crazy!"
However, Lei Yang still waved his hand, and calmly closed his eyes. At this moment, he was indeed betting on what Su Lin would decide in the end, because he did not think that Su Lin would not acknowledge him as his brother.
Everyone was extremely anxious, but without Lei Yang's permission, no one dared to make a move. However, just as everyone's hearts were in their throats as they saw the gigantic sword that seemed to carry a monstrous force, that enormous sword that was so fast that it was impossible to describe, suddenly stopped three inches above Lei Yang's head.
The strong gust of wind blew Lei Yang's long hair backwards, causing him to fly into the air. Even his brain could feel the scorching heat emitted by the heavy sword, but in the end, the sword did not fall down.
In the next moment, Su Lin retracted his sword, he turned his back with difficulty, and said with a choked voice: "Go!"
