Then, one terrifying demon beast after another awakened, locking onto Mu Chen and the Ice Ancestor, rushing towards them, destroying the giant trees surrounding them.
"Slaughter, cruelty, the path of death—it's for the weak. For the strong, it's all trash," Mu Chen said, unleashing a vibrating energy that destroyed the surrounding space. All the demon beasts died instantly.
"Husband, let me freeze them instead. There's no need for slaughter," the Ice Ancestor said compassionately.
"Wife, remember this: anyone who tries to kill you cannot be spared—all must be slaughtered," Mu Chen said seriously.
"Understood, husband," the Ice Ancestor replied earnestly, willing to listen to Mu Chen's words no matter what.
