5809 Despair
Jiuhu took two steps back, already preparing to flee. Two Universe Masters at the Fourth Tribulation.
The cunning Tanlang, with a divine power of 500,000.
The fierce Kuilang, with a divine power of 530,000.
How were they supposed to fight against them?
“Hurry, inform your Empress!” Jiuhu shouted urgently.
Elder Muchen, upon seeing this, immediately sent out the message.
The Empress quickly responded.
The head of the Li family, accompanied by two Fourth Tribulation experts from the royal family, would soon arrive.
They only needed to hold out for an hour!
“An hour?”
This time frame could afford them preparations for what lay ahead.
Elder Muchen also understood this, but there was no other way.
They could only hold out.
“How long will it take?” Wu Li furrowed his brow and asked.
Elder Muchen remained silent.
The time was too long, revealing it would only lead to despair.
He had already begun preparing for what came next, which was to desperately hold the line.
At the same time, he prayed that Jian Wushuang encountered trouble in the Snow Shadow Mountain and would come out after an hour.
By then, they could head to the a.s.sembly point with the mission rewards and rendezvous with the Empress.
That was the best plan.
For just the three of them to try to hold off these people was impossible.
The Tanlang glanced down at the three below and then noticed the Snow Shadow Mountain Cave.
Without a word, he charged straight toward the cave.
But as soon as he reached the entrance, a barrier blocked his way,
“Can’t get in?” Tanlang was somewhat surprised.
Initially, he had sensed the presence of four individuals.
Because Jinchen’s strength was too weak, during their journey, Jian Wushuang had
enveloped her with divine power, so she wasn’t detected by Tanlang.
Arriving just now, the Tanlang saw only three people.
The boy carrying the sword had disappeared.
He had thought Jian Wushuang went in alone.
If that were the case, this place must be a special mission a.s.signed by the Universe Master. According to common ssense, they all could enter.
But he couldn’t enter now.
In an instant, he understood.
No wonder these people were waiting at the entrance.
“The boy with the sword on his back is the Emperor!” Tanlang’s eyes narrowed, recalling the rumors from some time ago.
An extraordinary Emperor had appeared in Yue Kingdom, capable of erupting with 200,000 divine power.
Now it seemed not only true but even more formidable than rumored.
Muchen sneered, “You’ve discovered this!”
“In that case, you all must die!” Tanlang roared angrily, ready to attack.
But at this moment, Kuilang stepped forward, stopping Tanlang, “Don’t be hasty, Whoever goes in, the treasures that cannot be brought out will belong to me, Kuilang. And you prey are mine as well. Anyone who dares to interfere, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Jiuhu was already petrified, not daring to move.
Faced with a vastly superior opponent, he had no confidence whatsoever.
Even Kuilang alone, the three of them combined couldn’t withstand for even the duration of an incense stick burning.
Upon hearing this, Tanlang was enraged. “Kuilang, this is not the time to play around. Deal with them quickly. They definitely have reinforcements coming this way. Don’t be careless!” “Hmph, if you’re afraid, you can leave anytime!” Kuilang sneered, “A mere Yue Kingdom, with only one Universe Master of the Fifth Tribulation. The rest of the Universe Masters of the Fourth Tribulation are no match for me. I’ll kill however many come!”
The arrogant Kuilang didn’t even regard Yue Kingdom with a glance.
Tanlang was helpless alone!
But inwardly, he cursed the other’s foolishness.
Crack!
Kuilang flexed his wrist casually, saying, “The three of you, entertain me for a while!” Elder Muchen exchanged a glance with Wu Li, and they instantly understood each other.
They still had some cards up their sleeves.
Not to mention the secrets on Wu Li.
Just Muchen’s trump card, the Soul Shocking Vine, could boost his divine power to 450,000. Wu Li also had some tricks up his sleeve. If he really unleashed them, he might even surpa.s.s Elder Muchen in strength.
The two of them together might be able to withstand an hour.
The premise was that Tanlang wouldn’t intervene.
As long as no one interfered, they could hold out.
Plus, there were Jiuhu; the opponent’s strength wasn’t negligible.
With their combined four hundred thousand divine powers, they could make good use of it.
There was still hope for the three of them to survive.
But they feared Jian Wushuang suddenly appearing, with no intention to play games, and
just cutting them down.
That would be troublesome.
Right now, they could only hope Jian Wushuang would take his time.
Inside the Snow Shadow Mountain.
Jian Wushuang slaughtered snow monsters all the way, already reaching the deepest part.
He just wanted to get out quickly now.
The blood monsters he encountered along the way were getting stronger.
Until he reached the deepest part.
Ordinary snow monsters already had 250,000 divine power.
And in the depths, the aura of the Snow Monster Demon King had appeared.
With divine power reaching 300,000.
Unfortunately, before the opponent could see his face, it was instantly shattered by the
Sword Qi.
Along the way, Jinchen was mesmerized.
Any one of those snow monsters, she wouldn’t be a match for.
But under Jian Wushuang’s hand, they were like ants, easily slain.
Looking up at Jian Wushuang’s stern face, Jinchen also felt a slight stir in her heart.
It wasn’t an emotional touch.
It was admiration for the strong.
Among peers. No one dared to call themselves a genius in front of Jian Wushuang.
Nor did anyone have the qualifications.
Perhaps what her mother said was right, meeting Jian Wushuang was both luck for Yuc
Kingdom and her own.
Unfortunately, one cannot measure love with strength.
The Snow Monster Demon King was instantly slain.
Mission accomplished!
The token trembled once again.
“Talk to the Snow King!”
Jian Wushuang was surprised, “What kind of mission is this?”
As soon as he spoke, he felt a gathering force, and when he turned to look, he saw the snow
monster demon king who had been killed.
“Outsider, how dare you kill me! The bloodline in my body is from the beasts of the North
Pole Icefield. You will surely die miserably!”
Jinchen spoke up, “Snow King, you shouldn’t have been here in the first place. Blame
yourself for leaving the North Pole leefield!”
“I’ve been here for tens of thousands of epochs, and it’s you who destroyed my homeland!”
The Snow Shadow Demon King was very unwilling.
At this moment, Jian Wushuang thought of something!
A hidden mission?
The North Pole Icefield, at the northernmost part of the Infinite Great World.
To reach the destination, they needed to cross the entire North Pole Icefield.
Perhaps they could ask about the North Pole Icefield’s situation or even a map from the other party.
With a safe route, their speed would be faster.
This time, Jian Wushuang personally engaged in conversation.
And indeed, he managed to extract information about the North Pole Icefield from the
Snow Monster Demon King.
“The three leaders will not let you go. They will avenge Weilang!”
With these words, the Demon King’s soul also disappeared. On the ground, there was s...o...b..ll and a piece of parchment.
Jian Wushuang was overjoyed, “It’s a map!” With a quick step, he picked up the items from the ground.
The s...o...b..ll was a treasure, considered a post-natal Universe Treasure, but its power was
unknown.
He tossed it directly to Jinchen.
Then he looked at the map.
