Chapter 867 - 286: Dire Hexagram [Fire Scorches Wood] (4)

The spear was thrust into the ground. After steadying himself, he looked at the white-haired girl who was already slowly drawing back the bowstring, his expression grave.

Locked by that arrow, Xu Zhan could clearly feel a violent heart palpitation. It seemed that if the arrow were to fly, he would have no escape, certain to die.

The white-haired girl also seemed to have absolute confidence in this arrow.

As she drew the bow, with a slight thought, the yellow paper dolls inside the other four Six Ding Divine Puppets flashed with light and directly emerged from the bodies of the Ice Giants, returning to her storage bag.

Xu Zhan held his spear, and the thick Qi Blood Power formed a crimson giant shield in front of him!

Just as the Qi Blood Giant Shield formed, the longbow in the girl’s hand had already been drawn to a full moon.

And the killing intent that made Xu Zhan feel palpitations also reached its peak at this moment.

Whiz!

With the girl’s fingers releasing, the arrow wrapped with a strange talisman flew from the string, and the surrounding light clearly dimmed!

A thread of faintly glowing silk cut through the air!

In the next instant, the giant shield in front of Xu Zhan, condensed from Qi Blood Power, was instantly pierced!

Even though his Ink-Horn Poison Dragon Spear was ready to block in advance, the speed of this strange arrow was so fast that he couldn’t even entertain the thought of lifting his spear to block it before the arrow pierced through the bloody giant shield, rapidly enlarging in his eyes!

It’s over!

This time, I’m afraid I’ll die here!

In a flash, a thought suddenly popped into Xu Zhan’s mind.

He initially thought he should be able to entangle with the other party for a while. At worst, relying on the peak strength of the Five Body Cultivation Realms and the newly understood Evil Demon fusion secret skill, he could protect himself.

But he never imagined the girl’s methods and magical treasures would be endless.

Especially this strange arrow, which gave the illusion that it would inevitably kill him.

Just when Xu Zhan knew he was facing certain death, he waited for a long time but felt no pain.

When he came to his senses, he suddenly discovered that the arrow had inexplicably stopped an inch from his forehead, seemingly restrained by a strange force.

Xu Zhan’s heart was filled with suspicion, and the girl opposite him was equally surprised, looking around with a grave expression, slightly cupping her hands and saying, "Junior Zhou Xuan of Ice God Palace, I didn’t know which senior I disturbed. Please forgive me."

As her words fell, the snow-filled void suddenly twisted in the distance, and shortly thereafter, a figure dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, with rolled-up pants and wearing a conical hat, stepped forth.

Upon suddenly seeing this figure, a trace of joy appeared on Xu Zhan’s face.

He immediately moved aside to dodge the restrained strange arrow, bowing and cupping his hands, "Xu Zhan pays respect to Senior."

Luo Tianxing nodded with a smile, then looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "Girl, you’re from the Ice God Palace?"

Holding the great bow, Zhou Xuan immediately cupped her hands and said, "Reporting to Senior, my master is the Grand Elder of the Ice God Palace."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing’s face showed a look of understanding and said, "So you are the high disciple of Fellow Daoist Chu."

"I had a meeting with Fellow Daoist Chu once."

"Xu the kid’s Shen Family has some ties with me, so how about letting the matter drop today?"

Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and said reluctantly, "He destroyed two of my Six Ding Divine Puppets."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhan was also unhappy and immediately cupped his hands toward Luo Tianxing:

"She killed my third uncle’s Snow Wolf King and wants to rob our Shen Family’s Void Treasure Ship!"

Seeing the two refuse to give in, Luo Tianxing shook his head with a wry smile.

"That snow wolf isn’t dead."

As he spoke, his hand suddenly waved, and the Snow Wolf King, tied up like a dumpling in the distance, instantly flew to the front.

Upon seeing Xu Zhan, the Snow Wolf King struggled a few times but found it still couldn’t break free from the ropes and had to lie meekly on the ice.

Zhou Xuan initially thought of taking the Snow Wolf King back to make up for her loss.

But now that this Nascent Soul True Monarch had intervened, it seemed harder to achieve this.

She immediately waved her hand, withdrawing the rope magical treasure from the Snow Wolf King’s body into her storage bag.

The freed Snow Wolf King quickly got up from the ground and ran to Xu Zhan’s side, respectfully kneeling and saluting in the air towards Luo Tianxing.

"Thank you, Senior, for rescuing me."

After Luo Tianxing nodded, he looked at Zhou Xuan, "The Ice God Palace is a grand power; losing a couple of Six Ding Divine Puppets should be bearable?"

Zhou Xuan’s face looked a bit sullen, but she said nothing more.

The Six Ding Divine Puppets are just complicated to refine, but the materials used aren’t particularly expensive.

"This time, you two didn’t get to know each other until after the fight."

"The Shen Family has some say in this Yangnao Land. If the Ice God Palace plans to benefit after Dao’s collapse in Yangnao Land, it might be worthwhile to collaborate with the Shen Family."

Switching topics, Luo Tianxing suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhan furrowed his brow slightly.

But thinking that this might be Luo Tianxing finding future allies for the Shen Family, he said nothing more.

Zhou Xuan thought deeply for a while after hearing this.

"This cooperation matter cannot be decided by me."

"However... if this Fellow Daoist Xu has any thoughts, he can leave his means of communication, and after my master arrives, we can discuss further."

Xu Zhan said nothing, casually taking out a Communication Stone from his storage bag.

Then tossed it over.

Zhou Xuan caught the Communication Stone, took out her own Communication Stone to tap against it, and then tossed it back.

Seeing the two turn hostility into friendship, Luo Tianxing said with a chuckle, "Well, you may both go your separate ways now; I’m not getting involved."

"Xu the kid, is your family’s Patriarch in Yunshui City?"

"I have some matters to discuss with him."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhan promptly cupped his hands, "Senior, please go ahead. My brother should be in the city right now."
