Chapter 175: 1,000 Years Ago
“Don’t go!”
However, it was too late. Qin Xiaoxi had already rushed forward to engage the man in a knife-and-sword battle. Jiang Yun also rushed forward, but for some unknown reason, a wave of ice blocked his entire body outside.
The man held his katana in one hand and quickly closed in, launching another jump slash. However, this time, the man’s jump slash formed a huge crescent-shaped light blue blade shadow. Qin Xiaoxi hurriedly dodged to the side! However, the blade shadow was extremely sharp, and it directly cut open Qin Xiaoxi’s shoulder and coat!
Qin Xiaoxi hurriedly took a few steps back and covered the gap in her coat. A trace of blood seeped out and stuck to Qin Xiaoxi’s palm.
The man walked up again, and a giant blue shadow holding a katana appeared behind him. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi realized that she couldn’t move her feet no matter how hard she tried. It turned out that at some point, the ice had already bound Qin Xiaoxi’s feet, locking her in place. Qin Xiaoxi tried to use her spiritual power to break the ice, but it was useless!
Just as the man was about to slash at her again, Jiang Yun quickly waved his hands, and a huge beam of light immediately blocked between the two of them. When Jiang Yun tried to parry with his sword for the first time, the sword formed from spiritual power was directly hacked into pieces.
“Jiang Yun!” Qin Xiaoxi shouted.
After the sword was shattered, Jiang Yun actually caught the man’s blade with his bare hands!
Fresh blood dripped down from Jiang Yun’s palm and finally dripped onto the cold ground, instantly freezing into ice cubes.
If Jiang Yun hadn’t cast a protective spell in advance, his hands would have been chopped off by the man.
The man seemed to be very shocked. This was the first time he had seen someone who could directly receive his fierce blade with bare hands. He could not help but turn pale with fright.
But the fact was that Jiang Yun had done it, and only suffered some superficial injuries!
“Listen well, we have no malicious intent. We came here to save people.” Cold sweat kept breaking out on Jiang Yun’s forehead, and the pain in his hands gradually came.
“Humph… save people? Many people say that, but all of them had other intentions!” The man seemed to be very stubborn. He didn’t listen to what Jiang Yun said at all.
“We don’t mean any harm. Please believe me! We came all the way here to save people’s lives. We didn’t want to kill you at all,” Jiang Yun hurriedly explained.
However, it was true that the two of them hadn’t really hurt him since the beginning. If they really started fighting, he might not be their match.
When the man heard this, he slowly reduced his strength.
As the blade of the katana slowly withdrew from the wound on his palm, more and more blood flowed from the wound.
Qin Xiaoxi, who was watching from the side, was very anxious.
“I’ll give you five minutes to explain why you came to the Northern Region,” the man said as he put the katana back into its hilt, the ice that had trapped Qin Xiaoxi’s ankle had disappeared without a trace.
Qin Xiaoxi was about to go forward but was stopped by Jiang Yun with a gesture.
“Listen to me, we came here to find the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma to save lives,” Jiang Yun explained.
But the next second, he was ridiculed by the man.
“A few decades ago, a group of barbarians came here to kill, rob, and take away one of the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. Do you think I will take you there?” The man reacted as if he had heard a joke.
“I don’t know who those people are, and I don’t know what you are thinking. But at this moment, I must have the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. No matter what, you have to help me.” Jiang Yun was a little anxious.
“Don’t worry, I won’t.” The man seemed to be very firm. He was determined not to help the two of them find the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma.
“Listen to me, this is an important matter. It concerns the lives of all the people in the world. More importantly, it also concerns the life of the family member of the girl next to me.”
“Seek medical treatment if you are sick. There is no need for you to say such words to hide your selfishness towards the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma.” The man seemed to be very disdainful.
“That girl’s sister has been affected by the Power of Blood Shadow. We have to help her. Otherwise, an innocent life will die because of this,” Jiang Yun said anxiously.
After hearing the Power of Blood Shadow, the man was instantly stunned. He did not refute Jiang Yun but turned to look at the stone pillar next to him, which was engraved with patterns.
“Power of Blood Shadow…” the man seemed to be mumbling, “impossible… it was defeated by the clansmen three thousand years ago.”
“Three thousand years?” Qin Xiaoxi was shocked. Could it be that the man in front of her had lived for almost three thousand years?
“I don’t remember how long I have lived. But I will remember the scene of those evil people invading the Northern Region three thousand years ago for the rest of my life.” The man couldn’t help but clench his fists.
“What do you mean?”
“We are the chosen descendants of the Dragon G.o.d. The reason why we exist is to resist the terrifying claws and darkness of the Blood Shadow Sect.”
Jiang Yun was stunned.
“Can you tell us in detail?”
The man pondered for a moment, but he decided to tell the two strangers about the past. “A thousand years ago, the Dragon G.o.d still existed in the Northern Region to protect the stability of the people of the Northern Region. Even in the cold winter, the Dragon G.o.d could still let us live happily. But one day, a terrifying power began to erode this continent, and everything changed. It was a darkness that none of us had ever seen before. From that day on, the clansmen of the Northern Region could no longer see the Dragon G.o.d standing proudly on the peak of Holy Saint Mountain. This terrifying power could corrode everyone’s heart and make them evil and irritable. Many of their originally friendly neighbors and clansmen had been transformed by this terrifying power into a madman who killed without batting an eyelid, becoming an extremely terrifying person.
