54: The battle is flawless, the frontier is at its peak

Half an hour later.

Snow Wolf Valley was covered in heavy snow, obscuring visibility. Demonic beasts roamed openly, while killing intent lurked in the shadows.

Someone was hunting demonic beasts on horseback when a sudden cold wind, imbued with murderous intent, swept over him. He instantly fell to the ground, blood splattering as he died on the spot.

Another person was vigilantly scanning his surroundings, but in the next second, a phantom image appeared, and the person vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the people of several princes were all acting in secret.

The already dangerous Snow Wolf Valley was enveloped by a strange aura. Many people sensed that something was amiss and chose to group together, but unfortunately, the outcome was the same. They were too weak; against true powerhouses, they had no power to resist.

Amidst the heavy snow.

Xie Weilou had changed into a black robe, with arrows on his back and gauntlets on his hands. He was rushing forward rapidly, ignoring the demonic beasts that were pouncing on him from all sides.

Not long after.

Xie Weilou arrived at a forest covered in ice and snow. He saw Yan Wugou, who was currently hunting demonic beasts.

Yan Wugou did not outwardly display powerful cultivation; he appeared to be only at the Late Stage of the Shackles Realm. As someone feigning weakness to ambush his prey, he would certainly not reveal his true cultivation.

"......"

Yan Wugou was on horseback, an arrow aimed at a demonic wolf.

Whoosh!

He narrowed his eyes, changed his position, and the arrow shot out like a star, directly towards Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou quickly took out his bow, drew it, and shot an arrow in one fluid motion. The arrow let out a whoosh and directly met the incoming one.

Boom!

The two arrows collided. Yan Wugou's arrow exploded, but Xie Weilou's arrow, its momentum undiminished, slammed directly towards Yan Wugou's head.

Yan Wugou raised an eyebrow and immediately tilted his head. The arrow grazed his face, piercing through a large tree behind him.

Whoosh!

Xie Weilou drew his bow again and shot another arrow at Yan Wugou.

Yan Wugou subconsciously glanced around, and after confirming there were no other people, a chilling expression appeared on his face. He reached out and grabbed the incoming arrow.

Bang!

Yan Wugou squeezed hard, and the arrow shattered.

He stared at the gauntlet on Xie Weilou's hand with murderous intent: "So you're from the Third Prince. Today, I'll send you to the afterlife."

After he finished speaking, his aura instantly surged, and his cultivation directly advanced from the Late Stage of the Shackles Realm to the Tuojiang Realm Peak.

"Tuojiang Realm Peak......"

Xie Weilou's eyes narrowed slightly. He truly was someone who feigned weakness to ambush his prey.

"Die!"

Yan Wugou wasted no words. He lunged forward, appearing before Xie Weilou, and punched towards Xie Weilou's head.

Xie Weilou dropped his bow and met the punch with his own.

Rumble!

Their fists collided, and terrifying power swept in all directions. Many large trees were shattered, white snow flew, and some demonic beasts were startled away.

Bang!

After one punch, Yan Wugou's body was sent flying over twenty meters, directly crashing into a large tree behind him.

"What?"

Yan Wugou's expression was shocked, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. With his cultivation at the Tuojiang Realm Peak, he couldn't withstand a single punch from this person?

Xie Weilou's figure moved, instantly appearing before Yan Wugou. He delivered a whip kick to Yan Wugou's chest.

Yan Wugou had no time to dodge and could only block with one arm.

Boom!

Xie Weilou's leg slammed violently into Yan Wugou's arm, and the powerful force shattered Yan Wugou's arm. Yan Wugou's body slammed into the tree behind him, breaking the tree, and he was again sent flying over twenty meters.

Pfft!

After steadying himself, Yan Wugou spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at his arm with a grim expression; the bone was already broken.

"Damn it."

Yan Wugou's tone was sinister.

"......"

Xie Weilou glanced at Yan Wugou indifferently. Like a ghost, he suddenly appeared before Yan Wugou, giving him no chance to react, and directly punched him in the chest.

Bang!

The fist print slammed heavily into Yan Wugou's chest, producing a booming sound. Yan Wugou's chest caved in, blood splattered, and his body flew backward.

Xie Weilou took a step, appearing out of thin air beside Yan Wugou. He reached out, grabbed Yan Wugou's neck, and slammed him against a nearby giant tree.

Crack.

The giant tree cracked under the impact of Yan Wugou's body.

"Ah......"

Yan Wugou's expression was pained, and he let out a shrill scream. Blood spurted from his mouth and nose, his hair was disheveled, and countless bones in his body were broken.

Xie Weilou's eyes were filled with killing intent as he punched towards Yan Wugou's head.

Bang!

A booming sound rang out as the fist struck Yan Wugou's head. His head was bleeding, but it was incredibly sturdy and wasn't blown apart.

Slap!

Xie Weilou backhanded Yan Wugou across the face, directly smashing his face into a bloody mess, with blood splattering everywhere.

"Enough......"

Yan Wugou let out a humiliated roar, his eyes filled with a thick bloody light, and a terrifying demonic aura emanated from his body.

"Heh!"

Xie Weilou let out a sinister laugh, increasing the power in his body, and slammed it into Yan Wugou's chest.

Boom!

Yan Wugou's already caved-in chest was now completely pierced through by Xie Weilou's punch. Blood splattered, the giant tree was blasted apart, and Yan Wugou, like a sandbag, flew back a hundred meters.

Xie Weilou casually flicked his hand, a portion of the blood on his gauntlet flying off, and he looked at Yan Wugou in front of him.

"To kill me...... you...... are not qualified enough......"

Yan Wugou struggled to get up from the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

The demonic aura on his body continued to strengthen, and even with his chest pierced through, he could still stand up. His vitality was strong enough.

"......"

Xie Weilou observed Yan Wugou. This person was indeed extraordinary, still not dead after all that.

"Elder Long, kill him!"

Yan Wugou's voice was hoarse, as if speaking to someone.

Boom!

As his words fell, the demonic aura on his body instantly surged a hundredfold, a black light enveloping him, and the injuries on his chest were rapidly healing.

As for his cultivation, it directly stepped from Peak Tuo Jiang into the Dao Repository Realm.

Yan Wugou clenched his fist slightly. He looked at Xie Weilou, his eyes indifferent, as if he had become a different person.

"Old man possessed?"

Xie Weilou thought to himself. He was very familiar with this scene! Didn't a certain emperor of the fiery domain rise to power this way?

He hadn't expected such a presence to be within Yan Wugou's body.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Weilou turned and left.

There was a mysterious presence within Yan Wugou. He couldn't temporarily discern the opponent's true cultivation, nor did he know what methods the opponent possessed. It was not advisable to take risks; there would be plenty of opportunities later.

"Can you escape?"

"Yan Wugou" spoke indifferently. He stretched out his hand and slapped it forward, a massive handprint appearing, sealing off the heavens and earth.

Rumble!

Within a radius of five hundred meters, everything was instantly blasted apart. Countless large trees were blown to smithereens, and a giant handprint appeared in the dense forest.

"Hmm? Escaped?"

"Yan Wugou" raised an eyebrow. He had attacked, yet that person had actually escaped.
