Chapter 395: Chapter 275 Xiao Liu
Tie Dan traversed the ice, racing through the snow.
It’s okay, I can do it, I can still fight.
The great array is unlocked, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth is abundant, and the sword embryo is filled with Qi. Although the Blood Jade Technique was severely damaged by the Gang Fist, and there’s a massive loss of Essence Blood, making instant recovery impossible, after taking the Miracle Spiritual Elixir from Emei, my stamina is gradually restoring. Now, my chest and one hand have healed, and I can continue to fight.
As long as I don’t encounter those unreasonable experts like the mechanical Dou God General again, I should be able to handle a few Nascent Soul Immortal Palace foot soldiers. Even against a Divinity Transformation expert, given Immortal Palace’s usual style, they probably wouldn’t kill Xiao Liu on the spot. They’d likely capture him alive and take him back to the Three Constellations for further torture, so there’s still a chance for a rescue.
The problem now is, after so many days, where exactly is Xiao Liu...
"biaji"
A fish fin slapped on Tie Dan’s face.
Kun!
Kun indicated to leave it to Kun!
Thus, with Kun pointing the way, Tie Dan had no more hesitation! He rushed forward at full speed! Tunneling straight towards the northeast direction!
Wind racing like lightning! Snow and rain intermingling! Demon Qi soaring to the sky! Ghosts and monsters everywhere!
In the pitch-dark Demon Domain, Tie Dan followed Kun overhead, flying swiftly between the heavenly snow!
Finally! He found it!
Thick-stemmed roots, leaf buds like a crown! Resembling a lotus, snow-white like jade! Favored by heaven and earth, loved by creation! Born out of sun and moon, gathering the life’s breath of Qiankun! Proudly defying snow and frost, a high and noble flower!
Yin Mountain Snow Lotus!
Tie Dan’s face flushed red,
"What a lousy thing! Where’s Xiao Liu!"
Kun indicated that it didn’t know, it was only guiding you to find the flower.
"When you should come, you don’t come!!"
Tie Dan looked at the snow lotus, almost coughing up blood from anger, turning his head to leave.
Kun bubbled,
"Eat."
Tie Dan stopped, took a deep breath to regain composure, turned back and picked the snow lotus.
Yes, the snow lotus is ultimately a Heavenly Material Treasure, with the power to defy the heavens and change fate, bringing the dead back to life. If worst comes to worst, it can surely save Xiao Liu’s life.
Kun bubbled,
"Eat it yourself."
Tie Dan ignored it and tucked the snow lotus into his arms, continuing to hurry through the howling storm.
The bubble flared,
"Fool! To refine Heavenly Breath and Earthly Evil, you harness the forces of creation! You’re handing away all the Heavenly Materials Treasures! How can you cast My Sword! Eat it quickly!"
Tie Dan did not respond.
The bubble scolded,
"You idiot! The snow lotus is for sword casting! Not for you to save this or that! Eat it quickly!"
Tie Dan still remained silent.
The bubble anxious,
"Are you stupid! Who can you save with your current power! Close yourself off and cast the sword first! Restore your power first!"
Tie Dan quickened his steps,
The bubble roared,
"Useless waste! How will you amount to anything if you can’t see through life and death! You can’t bring him back! Don’t waste time! Cast the sword first!"
"Cast cast cast! Cast your damn head!"
Tie Dan turned and shouted angrily at Kun,
"If I can’t save the one I want to save! If I can’t keep the one I want to keep alive! What the hell use is this sword to me!"
Kun bubbled, but the bubble burst, feeling awkward, hastily indicated it wasn’t him, blaming the bubble...
Tie Dan took a deep breath, controlling his emotion, staring at Kun,
"Where’s Xiao Liu."
Kun hesitated for a moment, but eventually gave a look, pointing northeast, then leapt into the snow and disappeared.
Tie Dan wasted no more words, tunneling in the direction Kun pointed.
Finally, he found it.
From afar, he first saw a line of firelight, illuminating the distant snow mountains and glaciers brilliantly.
As he got closer, he saw a large lake hot spring, like a Bright Pearl adorning the snowfield, the waves rolling, the Qi churning.
No, not a hot spring, from the scene it looks like there was a massive explosion recently, melting the entire snowfield.
The mountains were flattened, the rocks ignited, and at the center of the explosion, there was a huge crater.
The melted snow water from the mountains accumulated in the pit, forming a sapphire-blue lake.
Tie Dan flew rapidly over, sliding across the steaming lake, his mind filled with doubt.
Judging by the mountain ridges, this should be the exit heading east from Yan Zhi Mountain, from the experience he’s had along the way, it’s likely that the Immortal Palace had set up a Stone Gate Array here, to intercept and capture cultivators attempting to escape.
But looking around now, there’s no sign of any stone arches, let alone any Immortal Soldiers, the entire snowfield has been flattened by some terrifying, astonishing explosion, so much that the cliffs have turned to lava, and the remaining heat continues to melt and dissolve the ice and snow!
What kind of Divine Skill is this! Such power exists! Could it be a nuclear bomb was dropped? Could someone, or a demon, have passed through here, breaking the Immortal Palace’s Barrier?
Where’s Xiao Liu...
Could he have been blown to smithereens...
Tie Dan felt a pang of anxiety, yet his Divine Sense could detect a faint fluctuation of Daoist energy within the lake water.
Thus, he flew straight to the center of the lake, searching through the rising steam for the source of the residual energy.
Then Tie Dan discovered two skeletons floating on the lake surface.
Fortunately, it wasn’t Xiao Liu, but a demon.
It was a giant monstrous demon skeleton, the size of an airliner, from afar it looked like an avian monster, only all its feathers and flesh had vanished, leaving just a skeleton burning fiercely in red flames, emitting scorching heat waves.
And in its beak was pierced a Fire-tipped Golden Spear, clearly crafted by the Immortal Palace, a Divinity Transformation Treasure, with divine fire coiling around the spear tip, the golden blaze seemingly suppressing the red demon fire.
It was obvious this demon breached the Eastern Barrier and was then impaled by a spear from an Immortal Palace Divinity Transformation General.
