On the surface, Xiaoshui didn't seem to have any cultivation, so although the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable reached for Xiaoshui, he didn't pay her much attention, instead always being wary of Beiming Xue in the distance.
However, to the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable's surprise, Beiming Xue stood there with no intention of coming to Xiaoshui's aid, seemingly very at ease with Xiaoshui approaching the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable by herself.
The Sharp Chin Demon Venerable became suspicious, so he exercised extra caution, infusing his grasping palm with the Power of Demon Patterns.
With just a grab, the Power of Demon Patterns would shoot out from the palm and immediately bind Xiaoshui.
The Sharp Chin Demon Venerable acted mercilessly, extending his right hand, and with a "boom," he grabbed one of Xiaoshui's hands.
Power of Demon Patterns gushed out like a spring, transforming into circles of ropes that bound Xiaoshui's hand and started spreading up her arm.
Yet, Xiaoshui still pouted, seemingly sulking, not even realizing that her right arm had been caught by the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable.
The Sharp Chin Demon Venerable felt relieved, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, what an idiot maid, to think that..."
However, before the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed.
But "changed" isn't accurate enough; it should be said his face turned green, then deathly pale.
Because the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable suddenly felt that he hadn't grabbed a girl's hand, but a block of ice.
After grabbing Xiaoshui's hand, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable immediately felt his body shiver with cold.
Moreover, the power used to bind Xiaoshui was shockingly frozen.
Even though the power being frozen wasn't a big deal, the icy force flowed along with the power directly into the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable's body, freezing all the power in his right arm.
The Sharp Chin Demon Venerable was already scared half to death, urgently trying to shake off Xiaoshui's hand.
But his right hand was frozen stiff, stuck to Xiaoshui's hand. The power was frozen as well, unable to exert any cultivation.
During this delay, a layer of frost quickly formed on the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable's right hand.
This layer of ice rapidly spread from the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable's hand to his upper arm, freezing everything into ice along the way.
At this point, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable was scared out of his wits; he never thought that just one grab would plunge him into such a massive crisis.
Everyone said the Demon Wolf King was terrifying, but who would have thought his maid could be so defiant of nature.
At this urgent moment, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable had no time for regret or more thought.
If he didn't act decisively, he feared his entire body would be frozen, leaving his life here.
The Sharp Chin Demon Venerable, a long-standing Demon Venerable known for his ruthlessness, saw the dire situation and gritted his teeth, raising his left hand to chop at his right shoulder like a blade.
With a "kacha" sound, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable's right arm was chopped off at the shoulder, blood spurting out from the stump.
This process was too rapid; the people behind him saw only that the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable grabbed Xiaoshui's hand and then severed his own arm.
Hence, everyone was puzzled.
Only Li Ji's expression changed, then brightened, murmuring, "It turns out to be a Five Elements Exotic Beast."
After severing his arm, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable desperately flew backward, and the detached arm now appeared like an ice sculpture, stuck to Xiaoshui's hand.
Only then did everyone realize how terrifying this cute and seemingly weak little girl was.
Though she appeared harmless and fragile, she was even more terrifying than the groom earlier.
Watching the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable flee, Xiaoshui flicked her hand, tossing the severed arm to the ground, pouting, "You're the one looking for a husband, your whole family is looking for a husband."
Even at this moment, Xiaoshui hadn't forgotten what the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable said earlier.
Beiming Xue had told Xiaoshui that those words were not nice, so after hurting the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable, Xiaoshui immediately retorted.
The Sharp Chin Demon Venerable was in excruciating pain from his missing arm, and hearing Xiaoshui's nonsensical insult left him at a loss to cry or laugh.
But all the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable could think of was escaping with his life.
However, just as he was retreating with all his might, he suddenly heard Li Ji's warning behind him: "Be careful behind you."
Hearing this, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable suddenly remembered that his greatest enemy should be the Demon Wolf King standing motionless before him.
Thus, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable raised his head to look ahead.
But upon seeing, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable was puzzled, as Beiming Xue remained standing there, unmoving, without even glancing at him.
But Li Ji just clearly warned him to watch his back, so what was going on?
The Sharp Chin Demon Venerable didn't slow his retreat, only turning his head to look back.
However, there wasn't anyone or any dangerous attack behind the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable.
Just as the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable was puzzled, he seemed to see a glimmer of light in his eyes, as fine as a strand of hair, stretching horizontally behind him.
But this glimmer was so very faint, even the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable couldn't see it clearly.
As the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable hesitated, he flew into the path of that glimmer, and with a soft "puff" sound, a hair-thin bloodline appeared on his neck.
The Sharp Chin Demon Venerable continued flying forward a bit before stopping.
Right where he passed through, a long, thin ice silk was suspended in mid-air.
The ice silk was originally transparent, making it hard to spot.
But now, the ice silk was painted red with blood, allowing the onlookers to see it.
This icy thread was long and fine, sharp like a tiny, sharp knife.
Seeing this ice silk and the blood upon it, everyone instantly understood that as the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable swiftly retreated, his neck had grazed this thin icy thread.
Staring at the blood-painted ice silk hanging before him, the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable's eyes widened with despair.
At that moment, blood began to flow out from the wound on his neck.
But as soon as this blood flowed out, it turned into ice crystals, followed by several "kacha" sounds, turning the Sharp Chin Demon Venerable into an ice sculpture.
His head, sliding off the ice sculpture, rolled to a stop at Li Ji's feet.
