Chapter 160 Under Siege
After dozens of days of searching, Yan discovered a huge soul beast surrounded by faint, distorted light and shadows on a frozen lake.

The soul beast was over seven meters long and covered with scales. Each scale was like a small mirror.

Yan knew that it was a mirror beast.

The three of them stopped.

"That is a Mirror Shadow Beast that has been cultivating for 20,000 years. Lingling, get ready and use it as your spirit ring."

Yan lowered his voice and quickly signaled to Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling beside him. At the same time, the soul power in his body surged, preparing for the upcoming battle.

When Shui Bing'er heard this, she frowned slightly, then smiled.

"Brother Yan, let's make a quick decision."

"Ah."

Yan and Shui Bing'er understood each other tacitly, and they jumped up at the same time, one on the left and one on the right to surround the Mirror Shadow Beast.

Yan's body was surrounded by flames, as if the god of fire had descended. His scorching soul power melted the surrounding ice and snow into steam, forming a unique fire curtain, trying to limit the Mirror Shadow Beast's escape space.

On the other side, Shui Bing'er also launched an attack, with countless ice cones piercing the huge Mirror Shadow Beast.

Seeing this, the Mirror Shadow Beast did not choose to confront head-on, but instead shook its body and turned into dozens of light and shadows, which instantly dispersed, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

This is exactly what it does best - mirror image clones.

Seeing this, Yan did not panic.

Because he also has the ability to clone himself.

He knew that there was a difference between the clone and the original body.

The Mirror Shadow Beast's clone can only display eighty percent of its original strength.

Relying on his powerful mental strength, Yan quickly locked onto the Mirror Shadow Beast's body.

Along with the release of the eighth soul ring and the one hundred thousand year old left arm soul bone, Yan's gravity field suddenly formed, covering the Mirror Shadow Beast's main body and its dozens of shadow clones.

Ten times the gravity was applied to the huge monster, causing its speed to slow down instantly.

"Bing'er, the one on the far left is the real one."

"clear."

Shui Bing'er understood what she meant and used the freezing skill. The extreme ice instantly enveloped the Mirror Shadow Beast's body and its clone within the gravity field.

The huge head of the Mirror Shadow Beast was deliberately exposed.

Under the dual constraints of gravity and ice, it was unable to move, and its eyes were filled with fear and despair.

"Lingling, go kill it quickly."

"it is good."

Ye Lingling did not hesitate, and rushed towards the mirror shadow beast with a sharp cold sword in hand.

Under Yan's control, the gravity on Ye Lingling was weakened ten times, and Ye Lingling flew towards the Mirror Shadow Beast like an arrow.

The ice-blue cold sword swung violently, cutting the throat of the Mirror Shadow Beast, and blue blood immediately splattered everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the Mirror Shadow Beast's clones disappeared.

As the gravity field and ice force converged, the huge monster collapsed on the thick ice surface with a dull sound.

"Brother Yan, Bing'er, thank you."

Ye Lingling looked at the two people in front of her, her eyes full of gratitude.

She knew that the Mirror Shadow Beast was an extremely rare and powerful ice-attributed soul beast. With her abilities, she would not be able to successfully hunt down a Mirror Shadow Beast that was 20,000 years old, let alone one that had been cultivating for thousands of years.

With the help of Yan and Shui Bing'er, it became so simple.

Shui Binger smiled slightly.

"Lingling, why are you so polite? Go and absorb its spirit ring quickly. We will protect you."

"it is good."

A ball of black mist slowly rose from the body of the Mirror Shadow Beast and gradually condensed into a soul ring emitting black light.

Ye Lingling walked under the soul ring, adjusted her state, and began to absorb.

Not long after, Yan suddenly felt a wave of soul power coming at a very fast speed.

"Bing'er, be careful, someone is coming."

"Ah."

The two looked around vigilantly, ready for battle. The soul power fluctuations became more and more intense.

Yan felt that it was not just one or two people who came, but a group of soul masters.

Sure enough, in a moment, a group of people came in front of Yan and Shui Bing'er.

Yan's eyes swept over them and he saw that there were thirteen of them in total.

Those people were aggressive and their eyes were fixed on the corpse of the Mirror Shadow Beast and Ye Lingling who was absorbing the soul ring.

One of them suddenly spoke up:

"Captain, that was the Mirror Shadow Beast we had been tracking for a month, and they killed it."

"Yeah, it's really a bargain for them!"

Another person echoed, his tone full of reluctance and indignation.

The captain was a middle-aged man around fifty years old.

Yan felt that the man was a soul master at the Soul Saint level.

The other twelve are all at the Soul King and Soul Emperor level.

The captain looked at Ye Lingling who was absorbing the spirit ring and sighed:

"Forget it. The Mirror Shadow Beast has already been killed by them. It's not easy for three young men to come to the Frozen Forest. Let's not embarrass them. Let's go find another soul beast."

As soon as the captain finished speaking, voices of opposition arose.

"Captain, we can't just let this go."

"Yes, Captain, that's the soul beast we have been tracking for a month. We can't let them get away with it so easily. We must at least make them pay a price and give them some treasures."

One person asked fiercely:
"Hey, do you two have any treasures? Hand them over and I won't bother with you."

Yan smiled disdainfully.

"I have a lot of treasures on me, do you have the guts to take them?"

Provoked and ignored by Yan, the man became furious.

"You little bastard, you are tired of living. I am going to kill you!"

As the man spoke, he released his martial spirit.

"Look, that looks like a soul bone!"

Someone suddenly screamed in surprise.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the body of the Mirror Shadow Beast, and a faint light was seen coming from its neck.

Looking at their greedy looks, Yan said:
"Bing'er, protect Lingling. I will deal with them."

"Well, Brother Yan, be careful."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Before those people launched an attack, Yan quickly released his martial spirit.

Looking at the giant surrounded by red-gold flames, those people were stunned.

They didn't expect that the young man in front of them was actually a fire attribute soul master.

Most of the soul masters who come to the Frozen Forest to hunt soul beasts are cold-attribute soul masters, as ordinary soul masters simply cannot withstand the cold here.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. He is not easy to deal with." Someone suddenly said.

Yan looked at the man and said coldly:

"Oscar, it's you."

Everyone looked at Oscar in surprise.

"Oscar is your real name? Do you know him?"

"Well, he is from the Spirit Hall and is quite powerful."

"Humph! How powerful can a young soul master in his early twenties be?! There are thirteen of us! Kill him and take his soul bone!"

After that person finished speaking, everyone rushed forward and quickly surrounded Yan, Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling who was absorbing the spirit ring.

"Xiao Ao, don't go over there."
