Chapter 314: The Sudden Appearance of Thousand Snow
Chapter 314: The Sudden Appearance of Thousand Snow
Some spectators had retreated over a hundred miles away, watching the fierce battle in mid-air.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion tore through the heavens as furious roars shook the Nine Heavens and the earth. The three battling sides withdrew, revealing themselves to the crowd.
Han Cang’s body coiled with black divine patterns—manifestations of the heavenly way. Endless darkness stretched behind him like a hellish abyss.
Wu Tianxiao howled in rage, his left hand and right leg shattered. His voice trembled with boundless hatred and regret.
Kong Fang had lost both legs and his left eye. His wild hair whipped through the air as a venomous glare shot from his remaining eye, his wrathful screams nearly splitting the sky.
The scene stunned all witnesses. Yang Yan and Wu Xuanbo turned grim-faced. Red Feather Spirit Master, Angry Thunder Spirit Master, Changhe Spirit Master, Binghuo Spirit Master, and Miaoshu Spirit Master paled in terror, awestruck by Han Cang’s power.
Kong Fang and Wu Tianxiao were legendary unparalleled experts of the empire, warriors who’d rarely tasted defeat. Yet together they’d been crippled by Han Cang—an unthinkable outcome.
In the sky, the two disfigured experts lunged at Han Cang with death in their eyes.
Han Cang sneered coldly, radiating domineering arrogance as he dismissed their threat.
“Kill that wretched boy!”
Two ethereal figures flew from Wu Tianxiao’s body, streaking toward Cheng Lingyu.
Kong Fang also released a radiant shadow, bellowing, “We’ll pin Han Cang down! Slay Cheng Lingyu now!”
Both Divine Martial Sect and Heavenly Palace now desperately sought Cheng Lingyu’s death—the root of this catastrophe.
Black flames erupted from Han Cang’s darkness as he moved to obliterate the two experts.
The Three Experts clashed violently. Though Wu Tianxiao and Kong Fang combined forces, they kept retreating under Han Cang’s onslaught.
During their initial clash, the proud experts had refused teamwork and paid dearly. Now united, they barely contained their foe.
Below, Wan Fang, Feixue, and Mu Bai formed a protective circle around Cheng Lingyu.
Luo Feng Spirit Master and Qiu Yu soared to intercept the ethereal figures—two Heavenly Realm experts under Wu Tianxiao, their cultivation rivaling Tianye Spirit Master’s.
Kong Fang’s light shadow revealed a Fourth Stage Spirit Martial expert intent on avenging the holy son’s death.
Miaoshu Spirit Master roared and charged at Cheng Lingyu, seeking vengeance against Han Cang.
Four Heavenly Realm experts now threatened Lou Ri City. Spectators watched helplessly. Though mighty, Han Cang remained occupied. Luo Feng Spirit Master and Qiu Yu couldn’t stop four attackers alone.
Thunderous crashes echoed as Lou Ri City’s five Spirit Masters fought desperately. Mu Bai grappled with Miaoshu Spirit Master while Wan Fang and Feixue confronted the Heavenly Palace expert.
Time meant survival. Attackers sought swift victory; defenders struggled to stall.
Luo Feng Spirit Master and Qiu Yu became trapped in their own battles. The gravely injured Miaoshu Spirit Master remained locked with Mu Bai.
Wan Fang and Feixue faced worst danger. Already wounded, they stood no chance against a Heavenly Realm foe despite their resolve.
A thunderous impact sent them flying, blood spraying as they collapsed.
The Heavenly Palace expert materialized beside Cheng Lingyu, palm descending toward his skull.
Cheng Lingyu had partially recovered by now. In this life-or-death moment, he fully activated the scroll and Fang Tian Bao Yin, transforming his Ten Cave Heavens into a pyramid to create his ultimate defense.
A palm strike descended. The Holy Artifacts wailed – the scroll was blasted away, the Fang Tian Bao Yin knocked aside, even the Ten Cave Heavens’ pyramid shattered completely.
All three defenses collapsed. The residual energy struck Cheng Lingyu, hurling him through the air.
Hu Yuer cried out in anguish, her voice breaking with grief.
Mid-air, divine lightning tore through the sky as apocalyptic darkness descended. Wu Tianxiao and Kong Fang roared in pain, clearly suffering devastating injuries.
The Heavenly Palace’s Heavenly Realm expert immediately charged toward Cheng Lingyu after the attack, determined to finish him off.
Suddenly, a horrifying disturbance erupted from Lou Ri City’s direction. A spectral city materialized in the sky, unleashing terrifying pressure and launching a long-range attack.
Simultaneously, both the Divine Martial Sect and Heavenly Palace manifested within the empire’s borders, countering with their own long-range assaults to pin down Lou Ri City.
This confirmed the two sects’ absolute determination to kill Cheng Lingyu.
Lou Ri City raged, emitting terrifying energy waves, but remained immobilized by the combined forces of its rivals, unable to intervene directly.
Every watching expert understood – Cheng Lingyu’s death was inevitable.
Han Cang was pinned down. Lou Ri City restrained. Luo Feng Spirit Master and Qiu Yu couldn’t break free. Wan Fang and Feixue lay mortally wounded.
Cheng Lingyu barely clung to life. Though present, Hu Yuer couldn’t save him.
A death trap with no escape.
The crowd watched Cheng Lingyu’s location with mixed emotions – pity, relief, but mostly malicious satisfaction. None wanted this fearsome youth to survive.
Han Cang’s furious roar echoed from the clouds above as Wu Tianxiao and Kong Fang desperately fought to create the killing opportunity.
The outcome seemed certain – Cheng Lingyu would die here.
Then a dark green figure emerged from the Blood Moon Wasteland, moving through space like a time spirit, appearing beside them instantly.
“My, what excitement! Such spectacle shouldn’t be missed.”
Her crystalline voice pierced the battlefield, reaching every ear.
Everyone startled – none had detected this newcomer until she spoke.
The Heavenly Realm expert’s killing palm descended without hesitation toward Cheng Lingyu.
Hu Yuer’s desperate scream echoed uselessly.
Cheng Lingyu lay gasping. Sensing death approaching, he didn’t glare at his attacker but painfully turned toward the new voice.
A dark green figure of unparalleled grace outshone all creation.
Though vision blurred, Cheng Lingyu smiled upon seeing her.
His dying actions drew all eyes. Many saw his reaction but couldn’t comprehend it.
Death’s scythe fell – but the dark green figure intervened.
Mystical light flashed. Cheng Lingyu vanished from death’s path.
The Heavenly Realm expert redirected his strike, snarling at the interloper: “Meddling brat! This is none of your concern!”
Ignoring him, the dark green figure grasped Cheng Lingyu’s hand. Spiritual patterns enveloped him, healing injuries rapidly.
Spectators gaped. Who’d dare interfere now?
Despite grave wounds, Cheng Lingyu smiled.
“Thousand Snow…”
His hoarse whisper overflowed with joy.
This was the peerless Thousand Snow. They’d met in an ancient ruin where he’d helped her resist the power of time erosion, forging a unique bond.
None present knew this history.
Hu Yuer watched them clasp hands, her expression twisting with envy yet relief – whatever their relationship, Thousand Snow had bought Cheng Lingyu time.
“You’ve suffered,” Thousand Snow observed mildly, her celestial beauty undimmed. After checking Cheng Lingyu, she turned to the approaching expert:
“How brave – Fourth Stage Spirit Martial bullying a Blood Martial First Level.”
“This is Heavenly Palace business! Die with him if you insist!”
Above, Lou Ri City’s spectral form clashed with those of Divine Martial Sect and Heavenly Palace – three titans locked in stalemate.
Only Lou Ri City resisted the kill order. No others dared oppose two great sects.
Yet Thousand Snow defied them all, provoking heated whispers.
Some called her reckless. Others wondered – she seemed too composed to misread the situation.
“Heavenly Palace’s might? Let’s test that.”
Cold determination radiated from Thousand Snow as she strode toward the Heavenly Realm expert, Cheng Lingyu in tow, astounding all witnesses.
