413: Stay alive

The once dense forest was now filled with the smoke of war, as four different forces clashed.

Trees lay toppled, and blood mixed with snow in this swirling, snowy wood.

Tianhe Pass was not a desert like Shanhai Pass.

This was because a constantly flowing river ran through the forests of Tianhe Pass.

The water in the Tianhe River was not ordinary water; while not exceptionally rare, it could easily accelerate the growth of trees.

After all, with the resurgence of Qi, all things had evolved, and the growth cycle of a large tree was now considered long even if it took a year.

Furthermore, Tianhe Pass had a favorable geographical location, suitable for plant growth.

At this moment, heavy snow fell upon the battlefield.

A young warrior looked at the enemy before him with clouded eyes.

His arm had been severed, lying dozens of meters away from him.

Blood gushed from his stump, and his face visibly paled.

His comrades around him roared his name, but they were too late to provide support.

Before him, a thick, sharp Desolate Bone protruded forcefully from the enemy's palm, thrusting towards the young warrior's heart.

He was about to die the next second.

But his eyes grew increasingly bright.

Was it a final burst of energy before death?

It was not.

He thought to himself that although he was unknown, he could die gloriously, just like that young Genius.

I'm not as strong as Xiao Fan.

But I am like him.

I will not retreat a single step, even unto death!

And I'm not foolishly rushing forward.

I have a way to perish with my opponent!

Just as people described Xiao Fan:

Crazy, yet calm!

This feeling of being close to his idol suddenly filled him with power, even as he was about to die.

The Desolate Bone was about to reach his chest.

At this moment, his Storage Ring flashed, and a palm-sized, lightning-emitting Thunderblast Orb appeared in his hand.

He was a Cultivator of the fire element.

He planned to unleash the most dazzling fireworks in the last moments of his life.

The clash of thunder and fire, unparalleled in power!

The young warrior lowered his head and curled his lips into a smile, imitating that unrestrained and flamboyant Genius.

And like him, he shouted his signature technique.

“Element… Overlap!”

As his words fell, a hint of madness appeared in his eyes.

The flames within him surged out uncontrollably like a rushing flood, and he forcefully squeezed his hand; in the next second, the Thunderblast Orb in his hand would be crushed by him.

Lightning and flames would bloom in this white and crimson land!

But just at this critical moment.

A figure clad in a black robe suddenly appeared between the warrior and the enemy.

His movements were incredibly fast; after snatching the Thunderblast Orb, he tossed it into the sky.

Then, his fingers, like an uncatchable blur, rapidly tapped the Acupoints on the young warrior's body, suppressing his endlessly surging flames.

“Pfft!”

Forcibly holding his Qi caused the young warrior immense backlash; a mouthful of blood uncontrollably spurted out, but it did not stain the black robe.

He was too fast.

In the blink of an eye, his hand, like a blade, directly severed the Wild Bone Clan member at the waist, and his two fingers, like sharp arrows, pierced through the Wild Bone Clan member's weakness, also in the left chest, similar to a heart.

No sooner said than done.

The moment the black-robed figure retracted his hand, the Thunderblast Orb in the sky exploded.

Thunderbolts instantly covered this snowy ground.

The black robe fluttered in the thunder and snow.

The young warrior lay on the ground, clutching his chest, momentarily lost in thought.

Why was that black robe, dancing wildly in the wind, so similar to the crimson divine robe he had seen on television!?

At this point, the aftershocks of the explosion subsided.

The thunder gradually dissipated.

The man in the black robe turned around and calmly asked, “What is your name?”

“I… I’m Li Kai,” the young Li Kai quickly replied.

At this, the figure, whose face was obscured, suddenly said with a slight smile, “Li Kai.”

“Here!”

“Live.” After Xiao Fan finished speaking, he raised his hand and sent out a wood element, which entered Li Kai’s Physical Body, sustaining his life.

Xiao Fan knew all elements and had learned tens of thousands of Martial Arts, so knowing a healing technique was normal.

At this moment.

An extreme sense of comfort permeated Li Kai’s shattered Physical Body.

His eyes gradually blurred because it was too comfortable, like lying on a massage chair that healed both body and mind, making one feel drowsy and wanting to fall asleep.

But for some reason, he used his willpower to resist this warm power.

He didn't want to fall asleep.

Because what was happening before his eyes was too shocking.

It would be a great pity if he didn't see it clearly.

The black-robed figure moved like a black elf in the snow, like refracted light and shadow, weaving through the battlefield.

Passing through powerful enemies one by one.

From Fourth-level aliens.

To Sixth-level Tiger-level aliens.

Indiscriminate penetration and slaughter!

That black shadow was a living Yama King.

Why describe him this way? Because there's a saying: If Yama wants you dead by the third watch, you won't live past the fifth!

At this moment, the Wild Bone Clan forces had realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat; hundreds of them ran in different directions!

But they couldn't escape!

He was too fast.

Coupled with the entanglement from the other members of the Human Race forces.

Something unimaginable happened.

These two forces were going to be completely annihilated here!

Total annihilation!

What did this mean?

From ancient times until now, completely annihilating an entire force has always been an extremely difficult task.

Because they would run away!

But at this moment, dozens of sharp black threads suddenly shot out from within the black shadow's body, tracking and then piercing through enemies in all directions.

Just three minutes!

The slaughter was over!

White Desolate Bones covered this crimson snowy ground.

The entire battlefield was utterly silent!

The black shadow stood among the white bones, neatly retracting the black short blade in his hand, as well as the externalized black threads.

He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Li Kai.

Li Kai was stunned, but he finally let out a sigh of relief, unable to hold on any longer, and tilted his head, falling asleep.

Currently, Xiao Fan's dealings with people of this Realm were pure slaughter, indiscriminate slaughter.

Although his Realm had not significantly improved, only reaching Great Grandmaster Eighth-level, his talent had increased, he had learned more amplification-type Martial Arts, and his Physical Body strength, speed, and power were all incomparable to what they once were.

Most importantly, he had learned tens of thousands of Martial Arts at Tianhe Pass!

He himself couldn't count how many combat methods he possessed.

Those black soul-chasing threads were merely one of his minor techniques.

He had thousands of such techniques!

Killing two forces of this level was like butchering dogs and pigs for Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was too lazy to collect the spoils of war scattered across the ground; he had plenty of money and didn't lack these things.

He turned and walked towards a captain who was so excited he was in tears.

He seemed not to notice the other's excitement, merely asking indifferently, “Give me the latest intelligence report now.”

“I need to know where the Wild Bone Clan’s stronghold is.”

The item Xiao Fan intended to acquire on this trip was the Ancestor Martial Arts of the Wild Bone Clan.

These minor minions definitely wouldn't have it.

But the most core Geniuses within the Wild Bone Clan might!
