Thud! Thud! Thud!
In the blink of an eye, the Spiritual Emperors that were charging at Rocky seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall. They were obviously discombobulated as they were bounced away. As an effect, their spiritual energy also became disordered. In fact, the two Spiritual Emperors at the medium stage, who were a bit weaker, even spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. As they regained their senses, their faces looked ghastly pale as if they were seriously injured.
After the Spiritual Emperors got back on their feet, they could not help but look at Rocky in horror. Although they did not see Rocky make a move just now, there was no one else to attack them besides him. Therefore, logically, it should be Rocky who had repelled them. However, they were also confused since his aura indicated that he was just a primary-stage Spiritual King. Hence, it was also impossible for Rocky to restrain the Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual race all at the same time.
Even after thinking for a while, they couldn't figure what just happened. They were utterly dumbfounded and just gave up. At the same time, they were also astonished by the fact that Rocky was still able to block the attack of the Ice Phoenix.
It meant that while he was resisting the violent cold wind of the Ice Phoenix, Rocky also repelled several Spiritual Emperors. Of course, upon realizing this, they were stunned to their core.
Meanwhile, the attack of the Ice Phoenix was still increasing. It appeared as if it was growing more irritated at Rocky, so it wanted to finish him off.
However, Rocky had no choice but to keep the Ice Phoenix busy by restraining its attack with his fighting energy at the Mystery Stage. After all, he needed to buy some time for Vivian and Alex to successfully get the divine treasure from the lair.
But unexpectedly, the Ice Phoenix seemed to have sensed something and suddenly stopped attacking Rocky. Then, it turned its head and flew back to the lair.
"Damn it! They've been found out!" Rocky cursed as his face darkened. He didn't expect that even with the treasure that could hide one's aura, the Ice Phoenix still managed to detect the two ladies. Now, if he couldn't stop the beast, all their efforts would be in vain.
Under normal circumstances, he could easily release Rubygon to deal with the Ice Phoenix. However, the situation wouldn't permit him since there were too many people watching him. Once he released Rubygon, his identity might also be exposed. After all, Rubygon was a mighty diabolic beast, and only the powerful warriors of the Shura Race should be able to control one. Without any other choice, he could only rush directly in front of the Ice Phoenix to stop it from leaving. He had to hold on until Vivian and Alex could come back.
With Rocky's persistence, the Ice Phoenix grew more agitated. Seeing that Rocky was standing in front of it again, it immediately let out a harsh cry, and anybody could sense its anger. Then, it suddenly raised its head, and a spiritual ball of ice suddenly condensed in its mouth. Afterward, the spiritual ball grew bigger and bigger. Just by looking at it, one could tell how disastrous it would be if someone was hit with it.
As the huge spiritual ball seemed to have reached its peak, the Ice Phoenix suddenly threw it towards Rocky.
The spiritual ball contained fully condensed power of the Ice Phoenix. Hence, judging from the aura it was emitting, the Spiritual Emperors estimated that the damage it would cause would at least affect the area within a thousand meters.
With this, the spirit warriors realized that the situation was unfavorable for everyone. Except for a few Spiritual Emperors who were confident that they could withstand the attack of the Ice Phoenix, the rest of them began to scamper and retreat. They didn't dare to stay where they were, fearing that their lives would be in great danger.
A moment later, the icy spiritual ball hit Rocky's body. Then, at the same time, a force close to the Shura Realm burst out, sweeping around and spreading throughout a thousand meters. It made the surroundings shake violently as if everything would be destroyed.
Seeing this scene, the spirit warriors broke out in a cold sweat. Based on the intensity of the power that the Ice Phoenix just unleashed, they were sure that it was impossible for Rocky to survive it.
However, before the Ice Phoenix could smash Rocky to pieces with such an aggressive attack, two delicate figures suddenly rushed out from the lair.
At the same time, a transparent ice wand in the hand of one of the delicate figures suddenly flashed, making a luminous ice light envelop the area. In an instant, the power of the spiritual ball that was hurled at Rocky dissipated without a trace.
