The expression of Yue Bingyun, who flew up as well, changed. Then, she quickly helped the staggering Xiao Chen up.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Chen's expression turned somewhat unsightly. After he calmed himself, his complexion flushed red. He frowned and said, "There is a half-step Emperor Wu in closed-door cultivation in the Hidden Dragon Lands. It will be even more difficult to obtain the Life and Death Art."
In the western part of Black Water Island, on a majestic snowy mountain that was extremely close to the border, a middle-aged man radiating sword intent sat cross-legged at the summit of the tallest mountain.
A bone-chilling cold wind blew, and a snowstorm raged endlessly. Despite the harsh environment, the hemp-robed swordsman's expression remained the same. The ice and snow that fell on him did not melt or accumulate. Instead, they flowed down like water, flowing naturally and mysteriously.
This snowy mountain was the tallest mountain in the entire Black Water Island. The temperature at the summit was negative hundreds of degrees Celsius all year round. Aside from some horrifying Spirit Beasts that lived on ice and snow, there was nothing else that attracted people.
Under normal circumstances, no one would come here to suffer for no reason. Of course, some cultivators who cultivated ice-attributed states were an exception, such as this hemp-robed swordsman, who had been in seclusion for a hundred years.
The hemp-robed swordsman looked into the distance, and his lips curled up in a cold smile. He said indifferently, "Your reaction is pretty good. You managed to save your eyes."
If Xiao Chen had guessed right, this hemp-robed swordsman was the mysterious half-step Emperor Wu who injured Xiao Chen's Heavenly Eye with just one gaze.
"You should rejoice that you saw me a hundred years later. If it were a hundred years ago, it would not have been so simple to pry into my seclusion."
The hemp-robed snorted coldly and closed his eyes again. Then, he continued to cultivate at the summit, comprehending the peak of the ice sword soul.
However, he didn't close his eyes for long before he opened them again. This time, it could be seen that when he opened his eyes, there was a strange light in them. This time, his eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent. A cold aura spread out from his body, causing the wind and snow to freeze. The entire scene suddenly froze. "Ka! Ka!
Ka! Ka! "
The instant the hemp-robed swordsman stood up, the snowflakes filling the air exploded, shattered by countless sword intents.
"There's really no end to this. A hundred years have passed. Have the people of Black Water Island forgotten my name, Bing Xuejian?"
He sensed that many people were flying over the entire snowy mountain range, and there were still people coming in an endless stream. All of them were at the Blue Robed Emperor level of cultivation.
The ones who had come were naturally the group of Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperors represented by Jin Liangqi and the Smiling Saber Demon. Behind them were hundreds and thousands of Great Perfection and Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperors who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
The Life and Death Art could condense a Heart of an Emperor in advance, making these Blue Robed Emperors willing to risk their lives to come and fight for their lives.
Jin Liangqi and the rest traveled over land and water before finally arriving at the foot of the snowy mountain. Looking at the peak that pierced through the clouds, he said, "The western part of Black Water Island. This is the last hidden dragon land. The Blood Sword Sovereign's dwelling from fifty thousand years ago must be in there!"
The Smiling Saber Demon, Shen Xiao, grinned and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's make our move."
"It will not be easy. A massacre happened here one hundred years ago. A mysterious swordsman killed all the ice-attributed cultivators cultivating in seclusion in the entire mountain range. I wonder if they are still here," a rather old man said.
An old man said. This person was called Old Tie because of his body refinement technique, causing his body to be as tough as an iron wall. After advancing to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor, he became even more difficult to deal with, earning him the nickname Old Iron.
"That's right. I still remember that massacre even to this day. It seems to be the Ice Sword Sovereign's first disciple, Bing Xuejian, who betrayed his sect, "another old man said.
Jin Liangqi said after some thought, "One hundred years have passed, and there has been no news of this person. He probably left already. Even if he is still here, with so many of us, we might not be afraid of him. "
"That's right. Even if he is here, we have to kill him back. Does he really think that he is the king of this snowy mountain?!" the Smiling Saber Demon said with a sinister expression.
The temptation of the Life and Death Art was too great. The few Consummation Blue Robed Emperors discussed it for a while and decided to make a move. The five Geomasters listened to the orders and immediately executed their Dragon Seeking Arts, preparing to attack the hidden dragons.
--- Ten kilometers away, Fei Lengyi, who was hidden in the wind and snow, entered deep thought as he looked at the snowy mountain. He said softly, "To think that the Blood Sword Sovereign's cave is here. It looks like it is impossible to obtain the Secret Technique alone. However, this is fine as well. If I work with Bing Xuejian, I will be more confident of dealing with this group of people.
"If I use the jadeite, I can destroy this Bing Xuejian alone. In the end, the Life and Death Art will still be grasped by one person."
Fei Lengyi had been secretly paying attention to the movements of the Life and Death Art. After he recovered from his injuries, he came out of closed-door cultivation and followed behind this group of treasure seekers.
Fei Lengyi had failed his tribulation once. Without any special fortuitous encounter, he would never be able to advance to Martial Emperor in this lifetime. This Blood Sword Sovereign's Life and Death Art was his fortuitous encounter. He wanted the Life and Death Art more than anyone else.
As the Geomasters made their move, strands of Dragon Qi surged out of the ground.
Everyone knew that this was already the last hidden dragon ground in the vast western region. As the Blue Robed Emperor watched the soaring Dragon Qi, he became very nervous.
"Ka ca!"
However, just at this extremely tense moment, a scarlet sword light silently appeared in the snow filling the air. Before the five Geomasters could react, this sword light chopped off their heads.
"Who is it?!"
The expressions of Jin Liangqi and the others changed drastically as they retreated. They instantly raised their guard and released their auras, showing anxious expressions.
This strand of sword Qi was too strange. Unexpectedly, it managed to silently kill five Geomasters right before their eyes. Even if this person was not a half-step Emperor Wu, he was still stronger than them.
Such a scene sent a chill down the backs of the Blue Robed Emperor, who was preparing to fish in troubled waters, feeling some lingering fear.
"Since you know my name, you still dare to come and send yourselves to death. You are all extraordinarily bold!"
A figure slowly appeared in the wind and snow. When the silhouette became clear, this figure took one step and arrived before Jin Liangqi and the others.
"Bing Xuejian!"
Jin Liangqi and the others immediately felt their scalps go numb. Unexpectedly, at the final step, they still ran into the person they did not want to see the most.
The Smiling Saber Demon showed an anxious expression. Although he said that he would press forward courageously, he did not have much confidence when facing this Bing Xuejian.
With the five working together, they actually had a fifty-fifty chance of victory against Bing Xuejian.
However, the five of them were not kind people. They did not trust each other, making it hard for them to work together. If they really fought, they would definitely be defeated and flee. Some of them might even lose their lives.
Jin Liangqi was rather calm. He said sullenly, "Senior is too serious. If we knew that Senior was here, we would not have dared to be rash."
"In that case, scram!" Bing Xuejian interrupted coldly.
The five showed unsightly expressions. Jin Liangqi suppressed the rage in his heart and said, "We have conclusive evidence that a Saber Emperor's cave is hidden at the foot of this mountain range. The treasures in there are of some use to us. However, they are of no help to a swordsman like Senior. "
"Hahaha! Jin Liangqi, don't you blush when you lie?"
Amid loud laughter, Fei Lengyi gave off a boundless aura, sending the wind and snow flying everywhere. He moved one kilometer with each step, arriving before the group in ten steps.
"Bing Xuejian, the cave where the legendary Blood Sword Sovereign once cultivated is hidden at the foot of this mountain range. The Life and Death Art is probably in there. You are also someone who failed the Great Tribulation of wind and fire. How could the Life and Death Art be useless to you? "
Fei Lengyi smiled widely, feeling very pleased with himself. The sorrow from that day no longer showed on his face. Now, he regained his former arrogance and tyranny.
The moment Fei Lengyi spoke, he did not show any mercy, exposing Jin Liangqi and the others.
Jin Liangqi and the others looked at Fei Lengyi, gritting their teeth in hatred. However, they could not do anything about it. They could only curse at Fei Lengyi.
Fei Lengyi did not even look at Jin Liangqi and the others. He continued, "How about it? Are you interested in coming with me to explore this Blood Sword Sovereign's cave? The two of us can be considered to be in the same boat, able to ascend to Martial Emperor together."
"Naturally, I am interested," Bing Xuejian said indifferently.
Fei Lengyi laughed loudly, and he unleashed the aura of a half-step Emperor Wu. "Good. In that case, work with me and get rid of these flies first!"
The moment Fei Lengyi said that, he immediately caused a huge commotion. Panic spread everywhere.
Even if everyone knew that Bing Xuejian was here, they would not be so panicked. One half-step Emperor Wu would not be able to slaughter everyone here. However, two half-step Emperor Wu working together would be more than enough to chase them all away.
Jin Liangqi and the others felt dissatisfied. They looked at Bing Xuejian with a final trace of hope. Although they felt that hope was slim, they still hoped for a chance to turn things around.
Fei Lengyi appeared very confident. He had interacted with Bing Xuejian before and knew what kind of person he was. He would definitely agree to his request.
However, unexpectedly, the hemp-robed swordsman smiled coldly and said, "Fei Lengyi, you seem to be mistaken. I am definitely interested in the Blood Sword Sovereign's cave. However, I have no interest in working with you. How could I not know what you are planning? "
Fei Lengyi's expression turned cold as he said, "Bing Xuejian, are you out of your mind?!"
Jin Liangqi heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he took the opportunity to smile and say, "Manor Lord, don't overthink. Everyone knows that you have the jadeite. Without us restraining him, Senior Bing Xuejian would not be a match for you. In the end, you would still obtain the Life and Death Art."
"That's right. Given your tyrannical character, you absolutely would not think of sharing the Life and Death Art. In your heart, you believe that it belongs to you," the Smiling Saber Demon said at the same time.
Bing Xuejian did not say anything. Clearly, he agreed with what these people said. The sudden reversal of the situation ruined Fei Lengyi's plan.
"Manor Lord Fei, actually, there is no need to be so exclusive. Everyone obtained the Life and Death Art together. Wouldn't it be better to share it? Furthermore, we do not know what dangers there are in the Blood Sword Sovereign's cave. Before we enter, we are already panicking. That is not a good sign. "
The older Old Tie acted as a mediator, advising at an appropriate time.
Indeed, the Blood Sword Sovereign was a Demon mixed-blood. He was terrifyingly strong, known as the most dazzling legendary Martial Emperor of the Black Sea. The Blood Sword Sovereign's cave would not be smooth sailing. There would definitely be many unknown dangers.
