Chapter 1672 - 987: Kill! (Shao Siming, Chen Yu, He’s Jade+)

"Hope you don’t fail your mission and end up affecting mine."

"Tch!"

If they didn’t have to stay here, the three of them teaming up to wait for that pervert, he could’ve flown out already and executed that pitiful prey.

But things were almost ready here too.

Under Flying Snake’s patient wait and gaze, Han Feigong, bow on her back, slowly approached.

Han Feigong was famous, but very few people recognized her, because she was always low‑key, unlike people like Zhao Guan who showed up often. So along the way, no one realized she was the renowned Ice Gleam Divine Archer.

And finally... she stepped into the area a thousand meters away from the Ice Gleam High Wall. With one lift of her head she saw that massive Ice Gleam High Wall, and the large number of masters.

Of course, among them were also some trial students from Ice Gleam Academy, who hadn’t noticed that the archer a thousand meters away was her.

Then suddenly, her steps paused and she stopped.

The restless Flying Snake saw this and grew anxious—damn it, why’d she stop!

"Kong Xue, if she won’t come over, I’ll just go to her... anyway, it’s not good to kill in front of so many people... keep it covert, and it won’t affect us dealing with that woman..."

Kong Xue nodded.

Within this range his control was indeed very high.

Flying Snake grinned, sauntering toward Han Feigong’s direction...

While Kong Xue scanned the surroundings, finding no traces, though for some reason he felt uneasy.

He only assumed it was because that woman still hadn’t shown up...

Yet he failed to notice that diagonally ahead, not far away, a young man’s gaze quietly swept past him...

Sui Yi had already sensed Yan Xue’s presence, and his gaze landed on the woman behind Kong Xue.

The woman was sitting on a block of ice, toying with a piece of ice crystal in her hand.

Their eyes brushed past each other, light as drifting feathers.

The two of them were both behind the two men; as soon as they locked onto each other, they could explode into action.

So...

Sui Yi stabbed Magnetic Sensation into the ground, Magnetic Sensation mixing with Witch Power...

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

Three, two, one...

One—Flying Snake was already within five hundred meters of Han Feigong. His right hand hung at his thigh, suddenly pausing.

Under his feet, the ice layer had already been pierced through by a long snake tail. The tail rapidly tunneled through the ground, spreading toward the block of ice Han Feigong stood on...

When it was still fifty meters away from Han Feigong.

Han Feigong’s fingers moved ever so slightly.

Insight: activated.

Lock‑on.

Draw bow, string taut, loose!

Flying Snake was startled—what the hell, the prey suddenly taking the initiative to attack the hunter?

A venomous snake?

But Flying Snake was an experienced, seasoned hunter. Faced with this arrow he only sneered, swept his hand, and a streak of cold light twisted and snapped the arrow...

The arrow broke!

The snake tail’s venomous tip pierced through the ice block, stabbing toward Han Feigong!

Han Feigong could already feel the icy chill under her feet...

Leap!

Swish!

Han Feigong’s Insight came into play again. As she sprang away... Flying Snake sneered, both hands closing, lock‑on!

In the instant Han Feigong was locked.

Flying Snake’s killing intent and focus were fully on Han Feigong.

Of course, Kong Xue and Yan Xue were the same...

Probably because they were too confident. After all, the two of them were very close to each other, and Flying Snake was within a thousand meters of them.

So...

Zero!

Sui Yi’s left palm faced upward, index and middle fingers together, flicking up.

"Witch Formation, open!"

Underground, Witch Flow took shape, Magnetic Sensation stabbing in to activate it.

Boom!

Rumble~~

From underground burst dazzling golden light, as three enormous triangular forks suddenly shot up, stabbing straight out from beneath the feet of the three...

Lightning speed, savage eruption.

Kong Xue was fast; as both his legs were smashed, he clung to the air like a spider, soaring upward...

As for Yan Xue, hidden in space, she immediately used Escape Technique to jump out of the sandwich layer.

That was the moment the two of them were most stunned, and most tense.

Of course, even more tense was Flying Snake.

He’d always been the slowest among them, but his Defense was extraordinary. Hit by the massive force of the triangular fork, his body reflexively transformed into a Flying Snake more than ten meters long.

The snake body writhed, his form swelling, and in an instant he was dozens of meters long.

The three were blasted upward—that was the first second.

As they were flung up, they suddenly sensed that some kind of binding force had settled on their bodies, and they themselves felt extremely unwell.

—Curse Technique!

Damn it, this Formation not only had shock power, it also carried a double Curse Technique!

Terrifying, utterly terrifying!

And at the zero‑point‑nine‑second mark.

Han Feigong’s five fingers left residual shadows like flowing light; she had already loosed all nine arrows from the quiver at her waist...

Nine Stars in Succession.

They shot into nine different points along Flying Snake’s soaring body...

Just after the full one second passed, Han Feigong willed.

Boom!

Flying Snake was swallowed by the massive blast radius of the Nine Stars in Succession Exploding Arrows...

That explosion didn’t seem to be just an explosion, because the blast gas carried a strange yellow hue...

On the other side, at that same second, Kong Xue felt someone behind him.

But it wasn’t Cloud Ascendant.

Bastard!

Her?!

Kong Xue’s first reaction was to think Sui Yi was behind him.

Shock, terror.

His willstorm surged backward!

And in that instant, the World of Wind was bounced open as well.

Which is why people say the Thousand Buddha faction’s actual combat strength is terrifyingly high. First, they’re cautious. Second, they’re not arrogant—no matter how great an advantage they hold, they never dare underestimate their enemies. Third, their battle instincts are razor sharp.

They sensed who their opponent was at the very first moment.

And in that very first moment, they took their opponent seriously, then erupted!

So when the World of Wind exploded, Yan Xue’s World of Assassination exploded too.

Two Worlds of Clouds flaring at once, swelling into a vast domain beneath the Ice Gleam High Wall, dragging countless people inside.

One wind, one assassination.

Both worship speed. Meaning, the instant these two Cloud Ascendant Masters so much as think about it, everyone inside dies fast. Very fast.

The worlds overlap, but the intersecting zones don’t cover all of their enemies.

Position. The damned position!

Kong Xue and Yan Xue’s bodies simultaneously spring toward one another...

The Cloud Ascendant Realm is about to intersect....

Third second.

Behind Kong Xue, someone erupts with a blazing purple light, that purple light swelling to fill the whole World of Wind.

As the world expands under that purple glow... purple light blooms, and all those countless splits of motion stall for no reason. In that hitch, no one sees a purple Yuezhuo break apart into ten thousand feathers. Feathers stack one by one, condensing, then condensing again, in a heartbeat becoming a thin, metal-glinting Slaughter Shuttle... that Slaughter Shuttle corkscrews around every angle Kong Xue could use to Escape Technique, its tip pulsing purple light.

Stab!

"No!"

Kong Xue roars....

On the other side, the strongest Yan Xue already feels a finger at the back of his neck. On that finger, a ring. The Beak of the Golden Crow at the ring’s tip is only a sliver of flesh away from the spinal nerves inside his neck and skull.

"Sever."

In the instant the nerves snap, Yan Xue no longer cares about anything, violently retracting the assassination domain at full speed toward the person behind him....

What is the World of Assassination?

Bind, dizzy, then kill!

So Sui Yi feels her body being bound, feels the dizziness wash over her, and then a strange, murky dagger scything toward her throat....

Swish!

A throat cut?

In the World of Assassination, Yan Xue is King!

Unless you crush this world outright....

At the very instant Yan Xue drives that dagger to viciously slice across Sui Yi’s neck.

Before the third second ends.

Boom!

World of Extreme Cold.

Freeze everything.

And blast the World of Assassination apart on the spot. Boom!

Cold so cruel it’s Peerless.

Sui Yi clamps down on the dagger in Yan Xue’s hand.

It turns once in her grip, and the Beak of the Golden Crow punches into his neck, yanking out strand after strand of nerve.

Every nerve torn free...

Rip.... The dagger slices across his throat.

Nerves link to the soul, the soul commands the will. If the nerves snap, the will shatters too. How can a Cloud Ascendant body ever be rebuilt?

Yan Xue watches hot blood spray from his own neck...

In the last instant, through the hazy purple miasma, he sees a stripe of purple light at Kong Xue’s throat as well...

And then.....

ROAR~~

The Flying Snake’s massive body writhes madly. "Damn it, it’s Realgar Poison!"

The Flying Snake howls.

This Realgar Poison is truly vicious, burning his scales like sulfur, making them shed in sheets, flesh sizzling and squealing.

Then he suddenly feels the soul auras of his two companions vanish.

Dead?

Impossible!

The Flying Snake panics... his body twists, trying to burrow straight into the earth...

Just as his serpentine bulk plunges down.

Han Feigong draws the last arrow from his waist.

Nocks, pulls, gathers every drop of will and energy into his stance, releases!

Whoosh...

Hitting perfectly at the seven-inch spot as the snake drills downward.

Curse Technique!

Ninefold Curse Technique erupts! With the added bane of Realgar Poison! And on top of that, a Fifth Level Void-breaking strike at the snake’s seven inches!

The Flying Snake screams.... At the arrow’s point, flame roars up, actually burning that almost ice-block-solid serpentine body charred inch by inch. In the blink of an eye it’s about to swallow the human head the Flying Snake was forming....

Sui Yi flicks a finger, drawing a stream out of the river, turning it into an Ice Ridge, driving it through Yan Xue’s head, then through Kong Xue, finally skewering the Flying Snake....

Three human heads impaled, clang!

The tip of the Ice Ridge spears into the icebound ground.

Leaving the three heads tilted on the earth three or four meters in front of Han Feigong.

Han Feigong is stunned, then his expression suddenly shifts...

He doesn’t even have time to shout...

Pu Qinghan whirls around just in time to see, among the panicked crowd behind Sui Yi, a man leap up, greatsword lancing for the heavens...

World of Swords!

A Second Level Cloud Ascendant Swordsman.

Head-on, his combat power is actually a notch above Yan Xue’s.

His World of Swords is two or three tenths larger.

Stronger. And more sudden!

This sword.....

On the Wooden Baby Court’s water terrace, the beautiful Maid lifts her head to watch....

"Teacher, that’s Thousand Buddha’s sword strike."

And the woman leaning on the railing behind her, wine cup in hand, eyes and brows calm, seems utterly unimpressed by that sword.

As the scent of cherry-blossom wine touches her lips.

Clang!

The crisp sound of a sword cracking does indeed ring out.

The greatsword is blocked by a thin, blood-red longsword and then....

Shatters.
