“It’s here…” A handsome man smiled. He had a unique jade pendant hanging from his waist. “We’re finally here. My mission is also complete. Now, I trouble you two to climb this mountain by yourself. Work hard, work hard, we’ll meet again if we are predestined…” That man calmly left as if he had never appeared here. If one didn’t pay attention, then it would seem like there had never been such a person in this world.
“Who is he? Playing so mysterious, and insisting on making me come alone. But my profession is commander. Without subordinates, aren’t I useless?”
“Stop making a noise! All along the road, didn’t you complain several times already? But how many times did you get good results?”
“Fine, I’ll not shout. However, you also don’t need to always draw your blade to frighten others. This time, we are cooperating for that whatever mess-up benefit said by that person! I’m not a puppet, and take note, don’t think that that I’m a person you can bully.”
“Oh? Is that so? Do you truly think that I don’t know you have something to do with getting rid of this Lord’s subordinates? Let me tell you, if it weren’t for that person’s protection, you would have already met King of Hell. You should be grateful to him. He is not a simple person! This time, get things done well, and this Lord will write off the matter of you entrapping this Lord’s subordinates!”
“Humph! Why are you talking nonsense, let’s go…”
The time passed like a white steed flits past a crack…, and in the blink of an eye, a day had already passed, and the sun had risen again, illuminating the peaks of Heavenly Mountain. The Shadow Dragon Soul Shield of Shi Hao and Pei Yuanqing had also already recovered.
“Let’s go! Continue with our journey…”
Pei Yuanqing carefully opened the path in the front, while Shi Hao, who was carrying Su Xiao on his back, and Passionate Archer closely followed behind. There was no smile or ease on the face of these three people. Now, they were still halfway up the Heavenly Mountain. If they were lucky enough, then they might be able to reach the mountain top before dark. But if they were unlucky, then they might have to find a place to hide from the snowstorm for a while.
However, there was not only a snowstorm on Heavenly Mountain. There were also some distinctive monsters that were extremely difficult to deal with. They were very fierce and would attack anyone they encountered, regardless of the reason. The longer they stayed here, the higher the chance of encountering those monsters.
However, in the vast snowfield where everywhere they saw was white, even an immortal would have a hard time finding a mountain path here, not to mention these three people who had come here for the first time.
When the sky was getting dark, Shi Hao’s party failed to reach the top of Heavenly Mountain as they hoped.
“Damn it! Now, we have to wait for a long time again. We will continue early morning tomorrow.” Shi Hao angrily patted off the snow on his body. The shield of Pei Yuanqing and himself was already destroyed, so they were unable to continue on with the journey. Fortunately, they found a cave.
Upon a careful look, this cave was very nice. The temperature inside was obviously higher than outside, and the wind would blow inside occasionally, which was a bit chilly but also a bit exciting. Since there was wind inside, it meant that there should be a deeper place inside. Perhaps, this cave could lead to somewhere else.
Shi Hao calculated. Thinking about it, now, they were idle, so they might as well check it out: “Let’s go and see what lies deeper. Perhaps, we’ll get unexpected gains…”
After he spoke, Pei Yuanqing lit a torch and opened a way in the front. Shi Hao still carried Su Xiao on his back and followed Pei Yuanqing. And Passionate Archer was behind Shi Hao.
They slowly advanced towards the depths of the cave…
However, at that moment, in the deepest part of this cave…, for some reason, there were two lights…
“Hey! It should be here. We took a trail that directly leads to this cave from the foot of the mountain, and we have walked for such a long time, it should be here.”
“Don’t make a noise! We have indeed already arrived. Go, get out of the way, I’ll open the door…”
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Ear deafening sounds resounded inside the cave.
“Let’s go in! Follow me, and don’t play any tricks! Otherwise, my Golden Blade will not be polite…”
“Humph! You don’t need to be so aggressive. If you dared to kill me, then you would have already done it long ago. You need my help in this matter! So, be polite to me. Let me say it again, I’m not a puppet.”
“Enough! Don’t speak nonsense. Let’s go…”
The two extra lights gradually disappeared in the front…
No one knew how long it took, but Shi Hao’s party also arrived here!
“Hey! There is a stone gate here…” Pei Yuanqing was the first one to discover the anomaly in the front. It seemed that someone had passed by this gate not long ago.
“Let’s go! Go in and take a look…”
Shi Hao and others continued to advance, and as they went deeper, the cave gradually had a light. It was a dim light emitted by fluorescent stones, but it was enough to make people see the path. Pei Yuanqing extinguished the torch and still took the lead…
Suddenly, the trio of Shi Hao heard a voice coming from the front.
“Hey! Did you make a mistake? Is everything okay?”
“Humph! It’s not me who made the mistake, but you. As I see it, you don’t meet the requirements. If you keep talking nonsense again, then I will send you to the Novice Village.”
“B*******! Obviously, you all said that I meet the requirements, and insisted on bringing me here. And now, you say that I don’t meet the requirements, are you all playing with me…”
The quarrel between the two people was getting increasingly serious.
Shi Hao frowned! Because, from the voices, he recognized those two people. One was Golden Blade Rear Commander Zuo Tiancheng and the other one was Heroic Overlord Under Heaven.
“Why are the two of them here?” Shi Hao quietly communicated, signaling everyone to be careful. “I think it is related to Absolutely Godless. Zuo Tiancheng is Absolutely Godless’s subordinate and Heroic Overlord Under Heaven is Absolutely Godless’s puppet. And Unfair Storm, the one that hit Su Xiao with Seal Arrow, is also Absolutely Godless’s subordinate. I guess that Absolutely Godless also learned that Purification Water must be used here to be effective. Therefore, he wanted his people to stay here, waiting for rabbits! Prepare to ambush, waiting for us to take a bait…”
Passionate Archer nodded his head. He didn’t care about what kind of grudges those people and Blowing Wind Left A Passion had. He just needed to know one thing. Those people could be counted as accomplices of those people who hurt Dawn Breaks Stars Sink, which was a reason enough to kill them!
Passionate Archer’s clear eyes lock on to Heroic Overlord Under Heaven and Zuo Tiancheng’s position: “My arrow! The first one is the strongest. After that, there is a CD period of nine minutes. Among those two people, I can only shoot down one! As for the remaining one, I leave him to you two.”
Shi Hao smiled, recalling that arrow demonstrated by Passionate Archer before. It would be very difficult for Zuo Tiancheng to dodge it. Although Shi Hao didn’t want to kill such a good person, he couldn’t afford to be merciful in the matters related to Su Xiao.
Shi Hao lowered his voice: “That person holding a golden blade, you deal with him. As long as he is gone, that other one is just a fish on a chopping board. Yuanqing, you also prepare to take action at any time.”
“Okay!” Pei Yuanqing and Passionate Archer replied at the same time.
Passionate Archer quickly took out that strange bow, then shot that shocking arrow again.
That arrow was too fast and too strong. It had a critical-hit bonus too! Such an arrow was very difficult to dodge or block. Heroic Overlord Under Heaven’s sluggish gazed watched an arrow fly past him and flew straight towards Zuo Tiancheng.
In that instant, Zuo Tiancheng’s life or death…
