"Clang!"
"Swish swish ~ clang ~!"
"Hiss! Gurgle! Clang! ~!"
After a fierce battle with Ye Feng, Tu Yao, Lin Ba Sen, and a group of clay figures retreated. Tu Yao shot back a considerable distance, eyeing the Waryer Altar, now completely enveloped in thick blood mist. "This much blood mist should be enough!"
As he finished speaking, Tu Yao once again merged into the void.
In the blink of an eye, Tu Yao reappeared at the very top of the Waryer Altar.
This time, Ye Feng dodged Lin Ba Sen with a swift movement, shattering the spatial barrier of the Waryer Altar and charging directly towards Tu Yao at its apex.
"Kid, you are indeed strong, but do you really think you can contend with a divine artifact?!"
As Ye Feng reached the pinnacle of the Waryer Altar, Tu Yao's mocking voice echoed.
Through the exceptionally dense blood mist, Ye Feng faintly saw Tu Yao standing in the center of the Waryer Altar. Beside him was a pedestal with what appeared to be a hole, and in Tu Yao's hand was the Spear of War he had seen earlier.
"Witness this, the true divine artifact, the Spear of War!"
With those words, Tu Yao plunged the Spear of War into the hole on the pedestal.
Ye Feng moved with incredible speed, reaching Tu Yao in an instant. But just then, the Spear of War, inserted into the pedestal's hole, erupted with a crimson-grey light…
"Buzz!"
"Bang!"
"Pfft! ~"
Ye Feng was struck by the crimson-grey light, spewing a mouthful of blood and being sent flying backward.
In an instant, starting from the pedestal beside Tu Yao, the crimson-grey light spread outwards. A bizarre runic formation emerged on the ground above, with the Spear of War in the center of the pedestal precisely at the formation's core…
The crimson-grey light quickly covered the entire Waryer Altar, making it even more uncanny. The dense blood mist that had been swirling around the altar was absorbed by it, and the patterns on the altar's surface seemed to come alive…
"Swish swish!"
The next moment, the blood water and mist in the entire area surged, rapidly absorbed by the Waryer Altar. Following the bizarre runes, it flowed towards the top of the altar, merging into the strange formation there, and then converging towards the Spear of War in the center of the formation…
"Buzz!"
"Bang! ~"
At this moment, the pedestal where the Spear of War was inserted exploded. A massive shockwave sent Ye Feng flying even farther. Ye Feng also saw a long, rod-like object beneath the pedestal.
Countless drops of blood, converged by the bizarre formation, were rapidly gathering at the point where the Spear of War and the rod-like object met…
"That thing… the runes on it…"
Ye Feng, sent flying by the crimson-grey light and now falling, looked on in horror, as he suddenly remembered something.
It was what Xue Yu Li had mentioned about Ragnarok when they were in the sand dunes – Ares's Spear of War had been broken…
He had always felt that Tu Yao's spear was a bit short, but hadn't thought much of it…
Now, it seemed the Spear of War in Tu Yao's possession was merely a section of it…
"Big Brother!"
Just then, a small exclamation rang out. Seeing Ye Feng sent flying, Xiao Xiao immediately donned her Angelic Armor and flew to Ye Feng's side, bringing him down.
"I'm fine!"
Upon returning to the ground, Ye Feng waved to Xiao Xiao and then looked towards the top of the Waryer Altar. The blood mist there was as thick as flowing solid, exuding an extremely powerful and intensifying pressure…
"That Tu Yao… all the things he did earlier… personally killing the Six Hounds of the Underworld… causing the goblins to massacre each other… this immense blood mist… his goal was likely to restore the broken Spear of War!"
Ye Feng looked at Bing with a solemn expression. "Where is Yue Yan? Do you know where she went?"
"I… I don't know…"
Bing’s expression was filled with urgency and worry.
"Buzz! Buzz!! ~"
Suddenly, a streak of ice-blue light flashed across the sky of the Arcane City, followed by a second… a third…
Within moments, the sky of the Arcane City was filled with ice-blue light…
"Big Brother, it's getting cold!"
As Xiao Xiao finished speaking, snowflakes began to fall across the entire sky of the Arcane City. The blood mist surging towards the Waryer Altar was rapidly frozen… Humans in the distance, engaged in a bloodbath, shivered and stopped…
"Buzz buzz buzz! ~"
At this moment, another wave of ice-blue light flashed across the sky. A group of goblins attacking human Arcane practitioners in the distance were instantly frozen into ice blocks, while the human Arcane practitioners remained unharmed…
"Hoo! ~"
"Good thing I made it in time!"
Then, a female voice Ye Feng was all too familiar with sounded, and a woman in a sky-blue dress adorned with a peach blossom on her head appeared beside Ye Feng. It was Yue Yan.
"Yue Yan… you… you froze all the blood mist in the sky, and turned those goblins into ice blocks, was that you?"
As he spoke, Ye Feng was greatly surprised.
Yue Yan had been less than a meter away from him, yet he hadn't sensed her presence.
"Mm!"
Yue Yan nodded. "It's the Arcane City's guardian formation… All the goblins within the Arcane City have been frozen into ice blocks by me and perished… I also destroyed the transmigration trees Lin Ba Sen created…"
"Amazing… truly amazing!"
Ye Feng swallowed, his face full of admiration.
He honestly felt that he couldn't unleash a technique covering the entire Arcane City, let alone precisely freeze and kill goblins over such a vast area…
"Yue Yan, Tu Yao created this Waryer Altar, likely to restore the broken Spear of War to its former state!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng destroyed two approaching clay figures.
Yue Yan frowned. "Don't worry, most of the blood mist has been frozen by me… Without sufficient blood filled with tyranny and hatred for the blood sacrifice… the broken Spear of War cannot be restored!"
"However… things might not be that simple!"
She paused before adding.
"Hoo! Swish!"
"Boom! Hoo! ~"
At this moment, a green streak cut through the little remaining flowing blood mist around the Waryer Altar, and several clay figures who were surrounding Xiao Xiao were instantly defeated.
Following that, a white-haired yet vigorous elder appeared before them – it was Shen Bo Tian, who had rushed over after seeing Ye Feng's signal flare.
Behind Shen Bo Tian were Shen Yun Yao and Jiang Si Shan.
"What happened? Why did you take so long to arrive?"
Ye Feng looked at Shen Bo Tian with some confusion.
According to their agreement, with such a commotion at the City Lord's mansion, Shen Bo Tian should have arrived to investigate much earlier, but he hadn't…
