That razor-thin horizontal line of snow-white frost hung across the sky like a single silk thread drawn across a painting.
Ninety-nine yards above the Gu Family Courtyard roof, Enforcer Gold-Chain and Enforcer Bone-Scythe felt a bone-piercing, primordial terror seize their Rank 7 Nascent Souls.
The air around them didn’t merely grow cold.
Every molecule of gas and spirit-qi in the atmosphere ceased vibrating on the spot. The temperature plunged past freezing, past minus one hundred degrees, past minus five hundred degrees—dropping straight to the absolute zero of the deep astral void!
“Activate our immortal armor! Burn thirty percent of our Nascent Soul blood-essence right now!” Enforcer Gold-Chain shrieked through his chattering teeth, forcing his locked jaws to move with a spray of blood from his gums.
“Upper-Realm Blood-Gold Immortal Shell—FULL OVERLOAD!”
“Block that sword line!!” Enforcer Bone-Scythe howled in sheer survival panic, burning his own Nascent Soul origin essence at the exact same instant!
CLANG—VOOOOOOOM!!
