Zhou Xuan couldn't understand it, and Wei Xiaoyu was even more confused. ()
Looking around from the shore, the more he looked, the more it resembled the beach at Chongkou. Because of the cliffs and dangerous terrain, this area was not included in the amusement park area. He had been here twice with his friends before, so he had an impression of it. He just couldn't understand why they would come to such a far place.
Regardless of the reason, Zhou Xuan knew that it was all related to the Nine Dragon Cauldron in his hand. In the end, it was the Nine Dragon Cauldron that saved him and Wei Xiaoyu, otherwise they would have been swallowed up by Ma Shu's ice energy long ago!
Although Zhou Xuan was puzzled and couldn't figure out the reason, it turned out that he wanted to use the Nine Dragon Cauldron to freeze time and save Ma Shu. At that moment, he also realized that the crystal on his body had been flying up amidst the surging energy and had fallen straight into Zhou Xuan's cauldron. Then the energy surged and the white light suddenly became bright. Just as the white light made it impossible to open one's eyes, the crystal suddenly exploded, and Ma Shu, Zhou Xuan, and Wei Xiaoyu were all thrown away in the violent energy.
Wei Xiaoyu clung tightly to Zhou Xuan's waist, refusing to let go no matter what.
The energy dissipated, the white light disappeared, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks could be heard.
When Zhou Xuan opened his eyes, he saw Ma Shu staring at him strangely, which startled him. He slapped him across the face, and with a "smack," Ma Shu's head flew up and landed far away. There was only one head left!
Zhou Kouxuan jumped up in fright, only to find Wei Xiaoyu hugging him from behind, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist. He quickly pried her hands off and pulled her close, worried that he might end up like when he saw Ma Shu's severed head, with only her hands remaining!
Fortunately, Wei Xiaoyu was completely unharmed; even her face was her own. The ugly makeup had disappeared, and her beautiful face was right in front of her, with long eyelashes fluttering.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, wake up!" Zhou Xuan shook Wei Xiaoyu. Wei Xiaoyu's eyes moved, then slowly opened, and then sat up. The icy torrent surged forth; by this point, nothing could stop such a violent torrent of ice energy!
Zhou Xuan could only watch helplessly as the strange phenomenon of the willow tree occurred. He was powerless to do anything about it and could only resign himself to fate. Otherwise, he would be transformed and devoured by the horse tree and disappear from this world.
Just then, Zhou Xuan suddenly noticed that the nine dragon eyes on the Nine Dragon Cauldron lit up, but not with red light, but with white light. The white light leaped up like a jade ribbon, entangling him, Wei Xiaoyu, and Ma Shu, flickering erratically!
Ma Shu was stunned, and said in a trembling voice, "Xuan, what are you doing?"
Zhou Xuan didn't know what this was either. It didn't look like time had stopped. The last time the Nine Dragon Eyes shot out red light, time stopped, and Wei Xiaoyu and the waitress were frozen in time.
What's wrong with my ear now?
Ma Shu, Wei Xiaoyu, and everyone else were still able to move and were fully conscious. The eyes of the nine dragons emitted white light, not red light. The white light was much more abundant and brighter, almost solidifying into a tangible object as it floated and hovered around the three of them.
Zhou Xuan didn't know either, and he couldn't answer.
Ma Shu was frozen in time, and then tried to escape, but unexpectedly, he didn't freeze time. Instead, he arrived at the beach in Chongkou as if he were on a rocket!
But one thing Zhou Xuan found very satisfying: Ma Shu, this mysterious man, his greatest rival and the one he feared most, was finally killed by the explosion of the crystal inside the Nine Dragon Cauldron because of this incident!
Another thing that bothered Zhou Xuan was that the sensation of ice energy had completely disappeared. This time it was not like yesterday when he was swallowed by the Nine Dragon Cauldron. Yesterday, he only used up all the ice energy and it was still there. But now it was clear that it was completely gone. Just like the first time he used the crystal, the ice energy had even absorbed the seed of cause!
For more than a year, Zhou Xuan had gotten used to the feeling of having ice energy on his body. He couldn't do anything without it, but now that it was gone, he felt empty inside, as if he had lost something, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
They sat down on a large rock on the shore, and Wei Xiaoyu followed suit. The two of them looked quite comical. Wei Xiaoyu's hair was disheveled, but it couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
Zhou Xuan looked even stranger; his clothes had many holes in the front, but the back was intact, which was because Ma Shu's ice energy had transformed and devoured them.
Zhou Xuan knew Wei Xiaoyu had many questions, so he immediately told her about the Nine Dragon Cauldron. After Ma Shu forced the violent ice energy onto Zhou Xuan, he found that it did not resist at all and went straight in. But then he realized something was wrong. The ice energy passed through Zhou Xuan's body and then came out from his left hand, instead entering the strange little cauldron that Ding was holding in her arms!
For some unknown reason, Ma Shu couldn't transform the ice energy into Zhou Xuan's. Feeling both puzzled and frightened, he exerted even more effort to force the ice energy through.
Suddenly, the eyes of the nine dragons in Zhou Xuan's arms began to flash. Zhou Xuan was overjoyed, knowing that they were almost there. When the dragon eyes emitted a red light, time would stand still, and he would have the chance to escape!
At this point, he had no choice but to exert more effort in circulating his ice energy. Instead, the bead was frantically absorbing the ice energy, and he couldn't get rid of it. Zhou Xuan also felt the enormous energy required by the bead, and his little bit of ice energy was simply not enough. This time, the absorption was much more intense than the previous time.
Ma Cun also realized something was wrong. All the ice energy in his body had been transferred into the Nine Dragon Cauldron that Zhou Xuan was holding along with the energy in the crystal, and was completely out of his control. In great alarm, he hurriedly tried to pull it back, but the ice energy was not what he wanted at all, and even more violently poured out.
Ma Shu opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a sound. He felt the icy energy within the crystal erupt wildly, as if a hole had been opened. Looking around, he exclaimed in surprise, "Where is this?"
Zhou Xuan looked around and saw that they were on a reef by the sea, about ten feet high and about ten square meters wide, with five or six meters of seawater separating them from the shore. He and Wei Xiaoyu were lying on the reef, while Ma Shu's head was on the reef three meters away, but only the head was there; the body was nowhere to be found.
what is going on?
Zhou Xuan slowly recalled that he had just been in Zhang Jing's room when Ma Shu attacked him with ice energy. In the midst of the crisis, he seized the opportunity to activate the Nine Dragon Cauldron. His own ice energy, Ma Shu's ice energy, and the immense energy of the crystal combined to activate the Nine Dragon Cauldron. Finally, white light shot out from the eyes of the nine dragons—yes, white light—and then…
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan felt a jolt throughout his body, followed by the explosion of the crystal, then endless dizziness, and when he woke up, he was here!
Zhou Xuan checked again and found that neither he nor Wei Xiaoyu had any injuries. It was Ma Shu who was inexplicably left with only a head; his body was nowhere to be found.
Looking at the surroundings again, there's no doubt that this is the seaside. But just a moment ago, we were in Zhang Jing's country house in Jiangbei, which is a long way from the sea. How did we suddenly arrive here? (The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated topic: "From the experiment last night to today's battle with Ma Shu.")
Wei Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, and after a long while, she asked, "So you're saying we inexplicably came here because of this Nine Dragon Cauldron? Is there really such a strange thing?"
Zhou Xuan smiled wryly, "Isn't it strange that I have ice-based abilities? Thinking about me, I don't think the Nine Dragon Cauldron is that strange after all!"
“That’s true!” Wei Xiaoyu nodded, then asked, “This happened so suddenly. I wonder how Zhang Jinglin and Shi Long’s group are doing. If too many people have died, we’ll have to clean up the mess, otherwise we’ll be in trouble!”
Zhou Xuan scratched his head and said, "There's no time to worry about that. Let's focus on the present first. Come on, Xiao Zai, this place is really a hotspot. I know this area well. Come with me, let's go take a look!"
Walking east along the shore, the amusement park in Chongkou is just a kilometer away. When I arrived at the east gate of the amusement park, the gatekeeper was none other than my former colleague, Apeng.
Apeng's eyes widened the moment he saw Zhou Xuan, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Zhou Xuan, it's time for work! What are you still doing wandering around outside with such a pretty girl?"
(This is the first update of 18,000 words today. I'm almost falling apart. If 3,000 words counts as one update, that's six updates. This is the limit, the absolute limit...) </span><spanclass="sb5">Where's the beach?</span><spanclass="sb5">
Could it be that the Nine Dragon Cauldron not only stops time, but also allows for instantaneous teleportation?
Then he remembered the Nine Dragon Cauldron. Luckily, it was right at his feet. He quickly picked it up and put it in his bag. Then he said to Wei Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, I'm confused too. Do you remember what happened? Did you see clearly what was going on?"
Wei Xiaoyu was also confused. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I only saw you and that person seem to be fighting each other from a distance. You asked me to take out the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and then I saw a shiny thing fly out of that person's body. Then there were flashes of white light, followed by a loud bang, like firecrackers or gunshots. Anyway, it was like an explosion. Then I fainted and haven't been here since!"
It seemed Wei Xiaoyu didn't understand either. Zhou Xuan pointed to the opposite side and said, "Xiaoyu, let's talk about it on the shore!"
Wei Xiaoyu pointed to Ma Shu's severed head and said, "What do we do with this person? How come there's only a head left?"
Zhou Xuan channeled his icy energy, attempting to transform and devour Ma Shu's head, but the icy energy vanished without a trace, even the small pill remnant in his left wrist disappeared. Startled, he kicked Ma Shu's head into the sea, angrily shouting, "This is the man who harmed me, Xiaoyu, do you know? He's the one from the cave..."

Apeng asked in surprise, then chuckled, "Zhou Xuan, your clothes are so trendy, haha!"
