Chapter 635: Chapter 481: Frostglow Realm Marker, Seeking Allies (Part 3)
As the blood-colored Sword Qi collided with the ice wall, a crisp “crack” was heard, and the ice wall was split in half like tofu. The momentum of the Sword Qi did not diminish and continued to slash towards the two of them.
“Watch out!”
Taishi Feng roared, using all his Spiritual Energy to grip the Heaven-piercing Halberd tightly. The tip of the halberd gathered a dazzling golden light and fiercely struck the blood-colored Sword Qi.
“Boom——”
The tremendous clash of forces shook the surrounding snow, causing it to slip steadily. Taishi Feng felt a terrifying force surging up the halberd shaft into his body, as if his internal organs had been hammered, a metallic taste rose to his throat, and he spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto his black iron battle armor. The already blood-seeping gaps of the armor now appeared blood-red and glaring.
He was a Tier Six Spiritualist with a Golden Bloodline, already among the top levels in his tier. Yet facing a casual strike from a Tier Seven Holy Blood Asura, he found it so difficult to hold his ground.
Saqi’s voice came from behind, filled with undisguised contempt: “With just this little skill, you dare to block me?”
“Hold on!”
Zhuge Yu hurriedly grabbed Taishi Feng’s shoulder, channeling Spiritual Energy to carry him forward swiftly.
The blizzard grew increasingly violent, visibility was less than five meters, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes—this was exactly the moment he had been waiting for.
He flipped his palm, and a bronze Array Plate the size of a palm appeared out of thin air. The plate was inscribed with intricate Eight Trigrams patterns, the secret Array Plate of the Zhuge Family.
Zhuge Yu frantically poured Spiritual Energy into the Array Plate, which instantly exploded with azure-gold light, spreading across the ground.
From a high vantage point, one would see azure-gold lines interweaving across the frozen ground, eventually forming a hundred-meter diameter Eight Trigrams Array, where the light at the array center was the most intense, merging with the stormy blizzard.
“Wuhou Eight Trigrams Array・Illusion!”
A clear voice pierced through the blizzard, and the next moment, the figures of Zhuge Yu and Taishi Feng vanished into the storm as if merging with it, their presence completely concealed.
Saqi reached the front of the array, a smirk of disdain curving his lips: “What does the Wuhou Eight Trigrams Array matter? Without the Blood Stealth Jade, I might have to put in some effort, but now—”
He raised his hand and pressed it against the Blood Stealth Jade on his chest, causing the jade to emit a blinding red light. A thin blood-colored thread extended from the jade, pointing precisely to the depths of the Eight Trigrams Array.
Though the blizzard in the array was violent, it did not affect the guidance of the blood-colored thread in the slightest.
Ice walls rose from within the array, attempting to block his path, but Saqi bulldozed through them like a runaway truck, crashing into the ice walls.
In a “rumble,” the ice walls shattered into countless shards. Following the guidance of the blood-colored thread, he charged straight towards the center of the array.
The Illusion Array was meant to disorient vision and warp perception, causing one to lose their way, but under the precise targeting of the Blood Stealth Jade, all illusions and obstacles became redundant.
Outside the array, Zhuge Yu was gripping Taishi Feng’s arm, desperately flying towards the distance.
Taishi Feng spat another mouthful of fresh blood, his face as pale as paper, smiling bitterly: “A Yu, if he catches up again, I really won’t be able to block his next attack.”
Since leaving the military academy, he hadn’t faced off against the Holy Blood for many years, but now he could feel the gap once again.
Back in Tier Three and Tier Four, he could still contend with the Holy Blood Descendants thanks to his Golden Bloodline. But at Tier Six and Tier Seven, the advantage of the Holy Blood fully exploded. He gave it his all, yet found it so difficult to withstand even a casual strike from the opponent. This disparity was utterly despairing.
Zhuge Yu gripped his arm tighter, his voice as calm as ever: “Don’t worry, we won’t die today.”
Taishi Feng licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, a trace of doubt in his eyes: “Did you calculate that?”
“More or less.”
Zhuge Yu responded calmly. He hadn’t divined the crisis of this moment, but Dongfang Mingyue’s previous dream had already hinted that during this trip to the ruins, not only would his life be safe, but he would also gain a tremendous fortune.
This certainty allowed him to remain calm, even in the face of certain doom.
“Boom!”
The sound of the Array Plate shattering echoed from behind, and Saqi’s blood-colored figure burst through the Illusion Array, gathering a blood-colored giant saber several meters long in his hand, chopping down with world-destroying might.
The terrifying energy locked onto Zhuge Yu and Taishi Feng, leaving them no room to even consider evading, as if they would be cleaved in two in the next second.
A resolute glint flashed in Taishi Feng’s eyes as he prepared to burn his Essence Blood for one final strike.
Yet at that moment, the space ahead suddenly rippled.
A silver Gate of Space appeared out of thin air, and a black silhouette stepped out slowly, his black robe fluttering in the storm.
“Thunder Saber—Slash!”
With a soft command, a purple Sword Qi, over ten meters long, descended like a thunderbolt, clashing forcefully against the blood-colored giant saber.
“Boom——”
The two terrifying forces clashed, the shockwave spreading from the point of their confrontation. The surrounding blizzard instantly halted, the ground torn into fissures several meters deep, and the frozen earth and ice shards were blasted into the air, shattered into powder by the residual force of the Sword Qi.
Taishi Feng and Zhuge Yu looked at the familiar black silhouette, both momentarily stunned. Then, Zhuge Yu’s lips slowly curved into a knowing smile, as if this scene had been expected, while Taishi Feng’s face was filled with shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
It’s him!
He’s actually this strong!
The black silhouette slowly turned around, the purple lightning on the Black Frost Blade gradually subsiding. Qin Tian looked at Zhuge Yu, a smile tugging at his lips:
“Zhuge Yu, my boy, you owe me another life.”
