Chapter 2884
“Big Brother, Second Brother, run for your lives!”
San Jie shouted, prompting the three of them to swiftly scatter in different directions once more!
As the ice bear monster swiped a massive paw at San Jie, he narrowly dodged at the last second, slipping through the void just in time!
With a powerful hiss, the ice bear leapt, its enormous body soaring a hundred meters before crashing down onto San Jie!
Three Jie desperately attempted to use time travel, but he couldn’t escape the Ice Bear Monster’s deadly reach!
“Second Brother, catch it!”
In the midst of the struggle, San Jie hurled an ice shard directly at Er Jie!
Just as the Ice Soul Fragment was launched, the Ice Bear Monster’s massive body descended, slamming its paw down onto San Jie!
The overwhelming strength of the Ice Bear Monster resulted in San Jie being crushed with a single blow!
“Third Brother!”
Big Jie and Second Jie cried out in anguish upon witnessing this!
Meanwhile, Kai’s expression darkened, his face reflecting a mix of horror and concern!
After dispatching the third Jie with a brutal slap, the ice bear monster immediately turned its attention toward the second Jie!
It seemed determined to intercept that ice spirit fragment!
“Second Brother, hurry and run!”
Big Jie shouted, ignoring their grief as both brothers activated their time travel abilities to escape!
However, the Ice Bear Monster moved with lightning speed, catching up to Second Jie just as he was about to flee the canyon with the Ice Soul Fragment!
Realizing he couldn’t escape, Second Jie struggled to toss the Ice Spirit Fragment to Big Jie!
“Big Brother, you must go!”
After passing the ice spirit shard to Big Jie, Er Jie bravely turned to face the ice bear monster!
Suddenly, Er Jie’s body began to swell, producing a deafening sound!
In a heroic sacrifice, Second Jie chose to self-destruct!
His goal was to stall the ice bear monster and give Big Jie a chance to escape!
“Second Brother!”
Big Jie was in tears, yet he clutched the ice spirit shard and sprinted toward the canyon’s exit with determination!
Though Big Jie reached the canyon’s mouth with the ice spirit shard in hand, the ice bear monster was still hot on his heels!
Seeing this, Kai sprang into action, drawing a sword from his side!
As he swung his sword, he also conjured a charm that hovered in mid-air!
Once Kai exited the canyon, the incantation erupted into a violent explosion!
Debris flew from both sides of the canyon, quickly blocking the entrance and sending clouds of snow and dust swirling into the air.
“Let’s go!”
Kai grabbed Big Jie’s hand, and without a moment to lose, the two vanished in an instant!
The two ran until they could no longer sense any immediate danger, finally stopping to catch their breath!
This brief halt left Kai utterly drained, having expended nearly all his energy!
Big Jie clutched the Ice Soul Fragment tightly, sadness etched across his face as he handed it to Kai.
Kai accepted the Ice Soul Fragment and gently patted Big Jie’s shoulder, a flicker of life-force returning to Big Jie’s body!
“I’m truly sorry…”
Kai felt a wave of guilt wash over him. If he hadn’t insisted on acquiring the Ice Soul Fragment, perhaps both of his companions would have remained alive!
Big Jie bowed his head in silence, lost in his sorrow!
Seeing Big Jie’s despair, Kai felt a deep sadness too but was at a loss on how to console him!
He had initially intended to give the fragment to Su Yuqi, but now he resolved to pass it to Big Jie!
Despite all the demonic beasts trapped within the Eight Heavenly Desolation Ruler having perished, the ruler itself remained a divine artifact!
Kai handed the ruler to Big Jie, saying, “The challenges ahead will only grow tougher, and your strength will become even more critical if you stay by my side.”
“I have nothing to offer in return, but this Eight Qian Desolate Ruler is a divine weapon, so please accept it.”
Afterward, Kai explained to Big Jie how to wield the Eight Qian Desolate Ruler!
