Chapter 154: Frozen Clash at Golden Light Peak
by xennovelSnowflakes drifted slowly from the high sky.
The rising, scorching Qi and blood ripped it apart, exploding in an instant.
XiXi stood rooted in place, and from her tiny body burst forth a surging torrent of Qi and blood!
Blood Exchange… Five-Ban!
At just four years old, she had entered the Blood Exchange realm, reaching the Five-Ban level!
At that moment, on the vast plaza of Golden Light Peak, many were stricken with shock; gasps, chills, and sounds of awe filled the air.
“Four years old… and already capable of Five-Ban Blood Exchange? How on earth did she learn it?”
“Is her martial talent really that high? This is unbelievable!”
“Even in Daocheng… only someone with an innate Grandmaster martial body could reach the Blood Exchange realm at four, right?”
Unbelievable…
All I can say is, she’s a monster!
Atop the Pedestal.
Daoist Wang Kuyu paused mid-stroke, his eyes betraying a flash of astonishment.
“This talent… is truly beyond belief!”
“No wonder my junior holds her in such high regard—reaching this level at four is incredibly rare!”
Wang Kuyu’s eyes narrowed.
Perhaps this girl really has a chance to join the main sect of Qianyuan Main Sect?
Could she become the final, sealed disciple of the sect leader?
After all, the head of the Qianyuan Divine Sect stands as a towering powerhouse at the pinnacle of the world—a veritable god!
Countless people would go to great lengths just for the chance to be his disciple.
Especially since the sect head declared that he would only take one final disciple in his lifetime—a news that sent shockwaves throughout Lingnan Path and the surrounding regions!
That speaks volumes about the influence of a true head of the Divine Sect!
“But it’s still tough…”
Wang Kuyu shook his head ever so slightly.
Reaching the Blood Exchange mark at four is impressive, but there are plenty of prodigies who could rival her.
Those from ancient Daocheng families, favored scions, princely heirs, royal bloodlines, wild prodigies, and even reincarnated prodigies…
Furthermore, the sect head is in seclusion.
Claiming he won’t emerge for another four years…
In four years, XiXi will be eight.
Some children show early brilliance, growing faster than others at first.
But eventually their progress slows, sometimes even becoming ordinary.
For XiXi…
Before the age of eight, too many variables come into play.
Moreover, compared to the prodigies emerging from Daocheng and even Divine Capital, the Jin Guang Branch’s resources simply can’t keep up!
Wang Kuyu sighed.
Nan Lihuo wanted, in his final moments, to secure a better future and home for the promising little disciple he cherished.
“As your senior…”
“All I can do is give it my all to help you one last time.”
……
……
On Zhong Liushou’s clenched fists, a crimson blood mist burned.
He slowly got to his feet, having been flung aside by a four-year-old prodigy—a blow to his pride, indeed.
But it wasn’t a serious issue.
All he had to do was reclaim victory with an even more domineering display!
Five-Ban Blood Exchange?
He was that too!
Moreover… he was a seven-year-old master of Five-Ban Blood Exchange!
Boom!
Without a sound, his body erupted with a roaring force, as if five fierce tigers had roared in unison.
With a single step, he twisted, and the blue-stone plaza underfoot cracked open with fissures, radiating outward like an intricate spiderweb!
The massive recoil tore through the air, shattering it with a splitting scream, as a streak of crimson light hurtled straight toward XiXi!
XiXi’s wide eyes sparkled with excitement.
They brimmed with exhilaration!
Ah—it’s been ages since I last enjoyed a good sparring session!
XiXi intended to savor every moment of the day!
Her chubby palm suddenly pounded forward, unleashing a mighty divine aura that howled from within her!
The divine aura of 【Tragic Wind-Fire Dragonfall of the Third Prince】!
Coupled with the Five-Elder Nurturing Method!
In fact, this nurturing method wasn’t even top-tier; within the Divine Sect branch, there were techniques of the Four-Yu level.
However, these methods aim to cultivate one’s divine aura, laying the foundation for a divine root.
Chasing high-ranking nurturing techniques could lead to a bottleneck at the divine root stage!
XiXi, however, practiced a technique paired with Divine Vision!
From the Golden Divine Hall, she acquired methods for nurturing essence, divine root, Illusory Form, and Divine Vision…
All perfectly integrated with the Five-Elder level!
This package offered far greater value than standard sect methods.
Golden Furnace Fire Glazed Body!
In a high-pitched, childlike shout, XiXi unleashed the signature technique of Nan Lihuo, reaching the minor success stage!
And nearly at the level of great accomplishment!
She transformed into a mass of blazing flames—a dazzling golden flash—as she charged toward Zhong Liushou!
Bang—
The two clashed in a straightforward collision!
They fought to the death!
An all-out exchange!
One larger and one smaller, they traded blows rapidly on the snowy plaza!
Zhong Liushou’s martial prowess was formidable; he had refined a low-level martial arts technique to near perfection!
It was a family tradition—a foundational technique used to usher in one’s martial journey.
However, advancing from perfection to true master-level was an exceedingly difficult endeavor!
In fact, even at eighteen, Zhong Liushou might never elevate this technique from perfection to master level!
He would first have to bring his own martial arts cultivation to the grandmaster level.
Yet, having a perfected technique as a foundation to support and enhance other martial arts, and to transform his divine meridians and Qi, would make everything much easier.
This was the common cultivation practice among the well-bred scions.
And thanks to Li Che’s constant, albeit underhanded, guidance, XiXi’s innate martial talent soared…
By infusing her with the Unsullied Heart divine aura, intertwined with the insights gleaned from the 【Dragon Elephant Vajra】 Dao Fruit, her martial comprehension surged.
Thus, her naturally strong martial talent escalated even further!
In just a single year, she had advanced her Golden Furnace Fire Glazed Body to almost great accomplishment level!
Though it didn’t match Zhong Liushou’s perfected technique, XiXi also possessed the White Tiger Turbulent Wind Fist at the transformative stage!
Indeed, the so-called ‘Little Kitten Fist’ that XiXi practiced reached the transformative stage under Li Che’s dubious transmission!
Zhong Liushou felt immense pressure—an old grievance stirred within him that was hard to express!
Transformative Stage!
A four-year-old… has a transformative fist technique?!
Are you a reincarnated monstrous fiend?
That little runt’s body must be hiding a hideously old and jaded warrior who’s trained for decades!
I can’t hold back anymore!
After their collision, Zhong Liushou’s forehead broke out in beads of sweat, and he found himself drenched.
“No… I won’t be able to keep up like this… I’ll be utterly overwhelmed and defeated!”
“Truly a four-year-old prodigy ranked 21 on the Daocheng Prodigy List!”
“There’s something there!”
“I’ve got to shake her off first…”
Zhong Liushou roared as tiger-head motifs of red suddenly flared up along his arms!
He unleashed a flurry of punches; two vibrant, blood-red tigers of Qi roared as they surged forward!
XiXi leaped up as if riding a red tiger, swinging her tiny fists while her body blazed with golden, glazed fire.
Riding the tiger, swinging fists!
The four-year-old Empress XiXi bellowed as she battled the tiger!
In the distance.
Hai Chaosheng had been pulled away by Gong Yuanliang and Gongyang Xiu.
Empress XiXi made her entrance, clearing out the bystanders!
Zhang Qingzheng pointed out the Divine Vision and healed Hai Chaosheng’s injuries, restoring his vigor.
At that moment, Hai Chaosheng stared fixedly at XiXi, who was pressing Zhong Liushou in battle.
In that instant, Hai Chaosheng was completely convinced!
“XiXi… you’re incredibly strong…”
Hai Chaosheng remarked.
Gong Yuanliang and Gongyang Xiu shot him a wary glance.
“Strong indeed—but what’s with the gleam in your eyes?”
“I’ve been XiXi’s close friend since a year ago!”
Gong Yuanliang said.
“I even held hands with XiXi a year ago!” Gongyang Xiu pouted and brandished his trump card!
Gong Yuanliang glared, starting a spat with Gongyang Xiu again.
In the end, Gong Yuanliang produced that unbeatable trump card his aunt was famous for…
Which utterly infuriated Gongyang Xiu!
Hai Chaosheng gave the two immature kids a disdainful glance.
How could these two fledgling prodigies possibly stand by XiXi’s side?
Only he, Hai Chaosheng!
Only he could truly share common ground with Empress XiXi!
In Hai Chaosheng’s mind, the image of himself trapped in despair reappeared, with XiXi tearing through darkness for him.
That vision…
It was etched deeply in his mind—the most moving image of his eight years of life.
Empress XiXi!
Hai Chaosheng vowed to follow her for life!
Hai Chaosheng stepped in, shoving Gong Yuanliang and Gongyang Xiu aside!
“Go, XiXi!”
Hai Chaosheng clenched his fist, jerked his head back as sweat from his hair flew in the weak winter sunlight, and shouted out his wholehearted encouragement!
His voice even cracked a bit…
But that passion, that sincerity, that heartfelt cry…
It totally silenced the bickering between Gong Yuanliang and Gongyang Xiu.
But the two soon recovered.
And they joined in the cheer!
……
……
In the deep winter, the cold was bone-chilling, as if the entire world was frozen.
Suddenly, a fierce snowstorm swept in.
The world was draped in silver, and distant cold mountains were shrouded in white.
Whoosh—
The biting wind whipped up, swirling snow-laden branches.
Along the roadside, the dense forests were deserted and carpeted in heavy snow, stretching out in a blanket of white for miles.
It resembled vast swathes of negative space in an ink wash painting.
Suddenly, the snow exploded open.
A towering, mountain-like dark figure leapt out from the snow, sending up clods of dirt and a flurry of snow.
Li Che adjusted his bamboo hat, donned in a black robe and wearing a Cute Cow Mask carved from eighth-level spirit wood.
He landed silently in the snow, leaving no trace.
Using the Earth-Dodging Talisman gifted by Nan Lihuo, Li Che emerged here as if breaking through the ground.
Neither Nan Lihuo nor Li Qingshan were around.
Nan Lihuo had hired Ogre and Ma Mian; he didn’t need them for close combat—he required Ma Mian’s sniping skills from afar.
In Nan Lihuo’s view, a divine archer needed the protection of the martial expert Ogre.
Only then could he focus entirely on shooting arrows.
To prevent any sneak attacks.
Thus, Nan Lihuo initially hired the duo of Ogre and Ma Mian as a team, not Ma Mian alone, nor Ogre by himself.
Li Che was well aware of this, so he didn’t mind.
Standing in the snow.
Beneath his Cute Cow Mask, Li Che suddenly burst into laughter.
Yet his laughter carried an eerie undertone.
“Little stinky Xi… Are you a Divine Sect succubus? You’re only four, and your charm is already that potent?”
“That Yellow-Haired kid keeps attracting trouble one after another.”
Through the Feilei Chess Pieces attached to XiXi, Li Che surveyed the whole scene, capturing every detail.
He clearly observed the scene of Hai Chaosheng, Gongyang Xiu, and Gong Yuanliang—three little Yellow-Haired vying for favor!
Li Che made a mental note of these three little Yellow-Haired.
Key targets noted!
With a twist of his neck, Li Che’s devilish muscles along his back burst out, his Qi and blood coalescing into a circular shockwave that radiated in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, Li Che propelled himself from a point underfoot, landing amid the Dense Forest, dashing swiftly between the trees.
Finally finding a spot, Li Che descended, making no sound, leaving no ripple behind.
Not even a clump of snow was dislodged from the large, snow-laden tree.
A projected copy of the Painted Immortal appeared—it was actually Ogre’s clone, though his persona had shifted to that of Ma Mian.
With two fingers together, he sliced through the air to extract the Xiangong Barrett, gripping it firmly.
Meanwhile, the Painted Immortal clone, Ogre, stood beside Li Che.
Li Che closed his eyes as the 【Chess Sage】 Dao Fruit thumped in his chest, and then the dim glow around him faded.
Only the radiant Cosmic Chessboard, centered on his landing spot, burst outward in all directions.
Whoosh—
The heavens and earth were engulfed by raging winds and swirling snow!
Everything became strikingly clear to Li Che.
The carriage rumbled, horses neighed.
Wen Longshan.
He was here.
……
……
Snow swirled as the cold wind whispered.
The main road was blanketed in a thick layer of frozen snow.
The bone-chilling wind roared; even on established roads, the area remained desolate. Not even seasoned merchants or escorts would venture out on such a day.
Yet, amid the icy wilderness,
a band of riders tore through the swirling snow, their powerful Qi and blood forging a path as they sliced through the wind-blown veil of snow!
At the forefront was an acquaintance clad in sleek black armor, a knife at his waist, riding a horse as he trod through the snow!
Carrying a perfectly aligned Xuan Iron Bow, its surface touched by snow and frost.
Their expressions were cautious and solemn, with a modest, ordinary carriage being guarded in their midst.
The heavy curtains of the carriage hung down, shielding against the cold.
On the carriage axle sat a one-armed, elderly coachman clad in hemp clothes and a bamboo hat.
Creaking, the wheels crushed the frozen snow, carving a path as they moved slowly forward.
The carriage curtains were drawn aside.
Out stepped a five-year-old child dressed in fine clothes, his face still youthful.
The young boy exuded nobility, his brows radiating regal bearing, and on closer inspection, his pupils were a soft shade of purple.
“Little Prince, the cold is relentless. Don’t catch a chill.”
The one-armed coachman’s empty sleeve flapped in the cold wind; he glanced at the boy and spoke slowly.
But the boy remained unfazed, leisurely stepping out of the carriage and sitting on the axle.
In his small frame, he observed the blizzard, raised his hand, and plucked a snowflake.
“Uncle, are we nearly at Jingguang City?”
The boy asked.
His voice, though youthful, carried a hint of maturity.
The one-armed elder smiled, “Soon.”
“City Lord Su Huai Li, upon hearing that the Little Prince was approaching, should have already dispatched someone. It seems that a team led by a divine archer officer from the Yunzhou Divine Guard Army camp is here to welcome him.”
The one-armed elder murmured.
“But it seems they’re a bit slow… they haven’t arrived yet.”
“A bit lax, though that’s to be expected—after all, they’re not the Prince’s personal guard.”
The boy nodded, his purple pupils reflecting the snowy expanse, shining brilliantly.
“The Eight-Armed Yulian Furious Third Prince Bizarre Temple… the Four-Yu Bizarre Temple, my father once visited it in his youth…”
“They spoke very highly of it, saying it might be the finest Four-Yu Bizarre Temple within the Great Realm’s borders.”
“My father has planned things for me ever since I was born…”
“I hope this Bizarre Temple doesn’t disappoint.”
The five-year-old, draped in splendid attire, with eyes like purple lightning, spoke coolly.
The one-armed elder simply smiled, “Rest assured… the Prince’s praise is never mistaken.”
“The Prince has paved the way for you, Little Prince.”
“With Temple Spirit Resonance, Little Prince will definitely come out on top—even though word has it that in Lingnan Daocheng, the Qianyuan Divine Sect has sent prodigies and elite young prodigies, and over in Jingguang Mansion, a prodigy radiating a hundred feet of purple aura has emerged…”
“But for you, Little Prince…”
Before the one-armed coachman could finish speaking…
a youthful voice then rang out across the land.
“They’re all trash!”
The coachman was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
“No wonder they come from Old Prince’s lineage—Old Prince sure has some guts!”
“Among the eleven Daochengs in the Great Realm, Lingnan Daocheng ranks in the lower middle. Their prodigies… to you, Little Prince, are nothing but trash.”
The boy’s lips curled into a smile.
“I heard that prodigy from the Jin Guang Branch is only four? Supposedly, their talent is extraordinary, their martial prowess unmatched—he reached the Blood Exchange realm at four and was taken as a personal disciple by Nan Lihuo?”
The boy stood with his hands behind his back in the snowy wind.
“A disciple of Nan Lihuo, then?”
“A four-year-old’s Blood Exchange is not bad at all. I can reluctantly offer her a future, even a chance to become my consort!”
Once his words fell silent,
the boy spread his arms wide.
The grandeur emanating from his chest seemed poised to soar into the skies.
“I must obtain the legacy of the Eight-Armed Yulian Furious Third Prince!”
Rumble—
The wheels turned, crushing the snowstorm!
In the vast, icy white expanse,
it was like a black spear hurled out to hunt beasts!
……
……
A blood-red prized horse galloped at breakneck speed, shattering the snow; scorching Qi and blood surged from both its rider and the majestic steed.
Wen Longshan, clad in his officer’s uniform and carrying a red longbow, looked imposing.
With his legs clamped, the demonic-blooded, scarlet stallion beneath him neighed fiercely, its front hooves soaring and flurries of snow erupting!
Wen Longshan furrowed his brows.
Beside him were several armored guards riding their own prized horses.
“Officer Wen, what’s going on?”
A deputy commander pulled on the reins, halting the horses, and asked in confusion.
Wen Longshan raised his hand, drawing a feathered arrow from his quiver on his back.
But he noticed the arrow trembling incessantly.
“My arrow… it’s trembling.”
“There’s an ambush.”
Wen Longshan said gravely.
The deputy commander was taken aback, then laughed, “Officer, you’re overthinking it. We’re meeting the Little Prince on a covert mission; who would set an ambush in advance?”
“Besides, if there were an ambush, it would be for the Little Prince… not for us.”
The deputy commander’s laughter gradually faded under Wen Longshan’s indifferent gaze.
The deputy commander’s eyes narrowed.
“Are they coming for Officer Wen?”
Wen Longshan drew his longbow from his waist and sneered.
“Likely…”
“Just in time—to clear out some riffraff before meeting the Little Prince, so as not to disturb him later.”
Wen Longshan twisted his neck; veins erupted across his neck like a vast net of dragons.
In his crimson gaze, a fierce and frenzied determination burst forth.
Powerful Qi and blood surged up suddenly.
Like a shard of red flame, it melted everything around in the icy wilderness!
“Ma Mian——!!!!”
Whoosh—
Silent black lines streaked from the distant sky in an instant!
Wen Longshan’s hair exploded outward as he was forcefully propelled, crashing into the snow with heavy, successive steps.
The muscles under his officer’s robe bulged violently!
His disheveled hair flew back; with a twist of his waist, a creaking sound, as piercing as ice being torn for miles, filled the air!
The divine bow was drawn to its full moon!
Countless surges of searing heat erupted!
Boom—!!!
First came the Dragon Tooth Bullets, followed by fearsome sonic waves that roared like dragons, shattering the sky!
Wen Longshan anticipated and dodged, but the demonic-blooded stallion beneath him was instantly struck and exploded!
The squad under Wen Longshan’s command erupted into chaos.
They tugged at their reins, roaring in anger.
Thump—!
However.
By the time they reacted, it was too late!
One after another, Dragon Tooth Bullets, like invisible dragon claws, stealthily emerged from the void.
Silent yet overwhelmingly powerful, they carried terrifying lethality!
Except for that deputy commander of the Divine Vision realm.
All the other guards didn’t even have time to react before their heads exploded!
“Go! Find Ma Mian’s location!”
“Based on the speed and impact of that hidden weapon, he must be within ten li!”
Wen Longshan’s deep voice was filled with seething anger.
Hearing this, the deputy commander wasted no time; he leaped from his horse, transforming into a blur as he dashed into the Dense Forest!
Wen Longshan drew his bow taut, his Qi and blood flowing into it like threads, as his feathered arrow let out a piercing shriek!
Is Ma Mian coming to kill him?!
How dare Ma Mian try to kill him?!
No…
Wen Longshan’s eyes narrowed.
Relying on just one Ma Mian wasn’t enough, nor was there any guarantee he could kill him!
Ma Mian must have allies!
Or someone hired Ma Mian to kill him!
In just a moment, in the blink of an eye, Wen Longshan figured it out.
Who is it?!
“Show yourselves!!!!”
Wen Longshan let out a long roar, his bowstring trembling as his feathered arrow, like a beast ready to pounce, flew off ferociously!
Screech—!
The air suddenly erupted in a torrent of white, as if thunder were ripping through the world!
Ssshhh!
Then, a terrifying hammer shadow crashed down!
The entire snowy field trembled, with dense snow being violently flung into the air!
“Horned Hammer! Li Qingshan!”
“You coward?!”
Wen Longshan’s eyes narrowed; countless red flames burst forth, and his arms seemed to ignite into terrifying fire.
He drew, bent, and released his arrow!
The feathered arrow blazed with crimson flames, like a series of red dragons spanning the heavens!
“Wen Longshan! You treacherous, shameless scum! Just because I’m on the verge of breaking through and you want to kill me, why shouldn’t I dare to kill you?!”
In the Dense Forest.
A figure swung a Horned Hammer with sudden force, with a cascade of lightning arcs interweaving across the sky and earth.
It smashed into the crimson arrow!
Explosions erupted continuously!
Thud—
With a muffled groan, that deputy commander of the early Divine Vision realm suddenly coughed up blood as he was flung sideways, leaving a deep furrow in the snow where his back hit.
Then, a sharp, golden sword shadow, accompanied by earth-shattering rumblings…
pierced through the deputy commander’s head!
Nailing him to the snow.
Scarlet blood instantly spread, turning the pristine snow a vivid red!
The gilded long sword still trembled slightly.
“Xuan Lei Jin Guang Sha Sword!”
“Nan Lihuo!”
Wen Longshan squinted, his body bathed in red flames as he spoke gravely.
One figure in front of him and one behind him.
Two figures slowly materialized, severing all his avenues of retreat.
And another treacherous divine archer lurked in the shadows, aiming at him and ready to unleash a terrifying, dragon-like bolt of lightning at any moment!
Simply…
A net of heaven and earth!
The tension on Wen Longshan’s face vanished in an instant.
He let out a low laugh.
“Nan Lihuo… you old fox, you couldn’t help yourself and actually made the first move… trying to kill me.”
Wen Longshan gripped his divine bow and laughed.
Nan Lihuo, donning a White Fox Mask, his hair all white, swayed in the snowy wind.
He sighed softly.
“As expected…”
Li Qingshan, wearing his Cat Face Mask, squinted and suddenly looked up.
But above, the heavens were suddenly torn apart by a terrifying white surge!
That was…
City Lord Su Huai Li!
Li Qingshan furrowed his brows.
Like a mantis stalking a cicada, with a sparrow in tow?
Li Qingshan looked at Nan Lihuo, “Sect Leader… your intel seems to have been exposed long ago!”
Or perhaps you were scheming, and now they’re scheming against you…
City Lord Su Huai Li…
This personal disciple of Pacifying King Ji Mo Li, although the youngest, simply his title alone was enough to inspire awe and trepidation.
“Li Qingshan, if things turn sour, find a chance to retreat.”
“I’m going to have a word with our head of Jingguang Mansion.”
“He’ll meet with that… little disciple of the Pacifying King.”
Under the White Fox Mask, his jet-black eyes suddenly ignited with golden flames!
He stepped down.
The White Fox figure, accompanied by swirling, rippling shockwaves, shot up into the clouds!
Above the heavens.
Clad in armor and bearing a broad-bladed long sword, City Lord Su Huai Li looked every bit the warrior, far from his usual scholarly, refined attire of the City Lord’s residence.
Slowly, Su Huai Li removed his broad sword and sneered at Nan Lihuo.
He raised his hand slowly.
A blood-soaked head was clenched in his hand.
“Sect Leader Nan, next time, don’t plant secret agents in the official’s house of the court… The repercussions aren’t good; it affects the harmony between the court and the Divine Sect.”
“Also, since you’re here, stay.”
“I’m curious as to why my teacher specifically sent me here to watch you… What secret do you hold?”
“Or perhaps… Sect Leader Nan… have you discovered some secret of my teacher?”
Once his words fell silent,
Su Huai Li’s aura suddenly became domineering as he tossed aside that secret agent’s head.
Then, with a tremor of his long sword, knife light swept across the sky in an instant!
The mighty and terrifying primordial spirit power, like dark clouds eclipsing the sun, enveloped Nan Lihuo in an instant!
Primordial Spirit!
Nan Lihuo’s golden flames in his pupils flared suddenly!
City Lord Su Huai Li… truly has forged his Primordial Spirit!
But Nan Lihuo…
also possesses the Golden Furnace Fire Glazed Body!
Transformative Stage!
The true meaning of his ultimate technique… the Domain!
Nan Lihuo suddenly spread his arms, as if a golden celestial deity had emerged in the firmament, transforming into a dazzling flame that collided with Su Huai Li’s long sword!
The golden sword and the domineering blade clashed in the skies!
Metal clashed against metal!
Sparks flew everywhere!
……
……
In the snowy field.
Wen Longshan gripped his longbow, his gaze sharp and cold.
He looked towards Li Qingshan in the distance.
He didn’t care about Li Qingshan—the real killer intent was focused on the lurking Ma Mian!
He wanted to kill Ma Mian…
He wanted to kill him desperately!
That Dragon Tooth Bodhi Bullet that had pierced his chest was the ultimate humiliation!
Only by severing Ma Mian’s head could he restore his confidence and honor as a divine archer!
The mere Li Qingshan…
was not even worth Wen Longshan’s notice!
He tilted his head slightly, his ears twitching, and in an instant, Wen Longshan’s gaze intensified as he gripped with all five fingers.
The longbow was drawn taut!
A red, luminous feathered arrow surged as it was released, colliding in midair with the silently fired Dragon Tooth Bodhi!
It exploded in a burst of intense flames!
Shockwaves roared and raged!
Li Qingshan, wearing his Cat Face Mask, wielded his lightning-fast, net-like Horned Hammer, charging in to strike!
However…
Li Qingshan’s expression quickly changed!
Because emerging from the Dense Forest were divine military crossbows, roaring as they came!
The terrifying penetrating force diverted Li Qingshan’s hammer blow aimed at Wen Longshan!
It instead smashed into a thick divine crossbow bolt!
That bolt, which had pierced through, was slammed into the piled snow, creating a huge crater!
Two figures leapt out of nowhere at the same time, with mighty Divine Visions materializing!
Both were armored divine generals with resplendent Divine Visions!
“The two Divine Vision Generals of the Divine Guard Army!”
Li Qingshan, behind his Cat Face Mask, gasped.
Their preparations are just too complete, aren’t they?
This is…
a setup!
Meanwhile, Wen Longshan paid no heed to Li Qingshan.
The two later-stage Divine Vision generals of the Divine Guard Army were more than enough to deal with a just-broken-through Li Qingshan.
His target…
was only Ma Mian!
His body swayed as he took a heavy step; surges of snow rose like a curtain several feet high, then fell in a scattered cascade!
Taking advantage of the confusion, Wen Longshan moved silently through the snow, disappearing into the Dense Forest!
The Dense Forest…
is the domain of divine archers!
When the position of a divine archer is exposed,
it means that…
this divine archer… is nearing death!
Wen Longshan, like a crimson dragon, raced swiftly through the snowy woods.
“Ma Mian…”
“I’ve found you!”
