Chapter 1119: Meeting Ziyue Bing
"What is this Golden Calabash? Why is it so fast?" Seeing the golden ray being shot out of the Golden Calabash, the Third Elder panicked.
She reached out her hand and casted a defensive light veil in an attempt to block the golden light ray.
However, the golden energy moved too fast, piercing through the Third Elder’s light veil instantly. It shot through her head, creating a huge hole and spewing blood everywhere.
Flop!
The Third Elder fell to the ground, her eyes still full of shock with a trace of hopelessness. Her life was quickly fading away.
She never imagined that she would die to a calabash.
Of course, she didn’t know that she had lost to a Golden Calabash, a king level spiritual device once owned by the Golden Saint. If she had known, she wouldn’t have felt as embarrassed.
"I told you to scurry off but you wouldn’t listen, and now you’re dead," Qingfeng Li cursed at the corpse of the Third Elder. He then turned to look at the young woman.
The young woman screamed and directly fainted from Qingfeng Li’s gaze.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows in annoyance, transferring a trace of vital essence into the young woman’s body, waking her up.
"Don’t you dare to faint. If you faint again, I’ll kill you," Qingfeng Li threatened the young woman coldly.
The young woman was just about to faint, but hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, she forced herself to stay awake.
"Don’t kill me," the woman pleaded towards Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li said, "I don’t have to kill you, but you must take me to the Ice King Sect."
The young woman shook her head and said, "Both the Sect Master and the Saintess are not in the Ice King Sect right now. They’re both at the fifth snow mountain fighting for the Frozen Heart."
Qingfeng Li’s face flushed pale at her words. He never imagined that the people from the Ice King Sect would fight for the Frozen Heart. He needed the item to save Xue Lin, so he couldn’t let them get away with it.
Bang!
Qingfeng Li held out his hand and slapped the young woman unconscious. He kept his promise of not killing her.
"Let’s go to the fifth snow mountain." Qingfeng Li looked extremely anxious, rushing forward along with the rest of the group.
They were currently still on the first mountain. There were still four mountains to conquer before the fifth.
Along the way, Qingfeng Li encountered many disciples of the Ice King Sect, but he slapped all of them unconscious. Other than the disciples of the Ice King Sect, he also encountered many ice type demonic beasts. These beasts were all taken care of by Black Puppy.
The group of people arrived at the fifth mountain in no time.
The fifth snow mountain was situated in the middle of the nine mountains. It was the tallest mountain, with an elevation of over 8000 meters. It was also the coldest, with a temperature of minus 50 degrees. Any average person would have already frozen to death, as only self-cultivators had the ability to survive such a climate.
"So cold." Alice shivered from the cold. She was the weakest amongst the whole entire group, so she was the first to feel the coldness.
Qingfeng Li walked to Alice and transferred a trace of vital essence into her body, expelling the cold air in her body.
Subsequently, Qingfeng Li gave Alice an earthly elixir for her to refine into even more vital essence.
After Alice warmed up, Qingfeng Li lifted his head and looked onwards. On top of the snow mountain in front of them, there stood two parties engaged in battle.
The left side was made up of Yafei Bing, the Lord of the Ice King Sect and Xiyue Bing, the Saintess of the Ice King Sect. Qingfeng Li had seen them before when he was at the Dragon-Tiger Mountain, so he was able to recognize them immediately.
The right side comprised of a group of men, all holding large blades, monstrous as could be, exuding a sharp blade energy. Qingfeng Li had never seen them before.
Qingfeng Li stood at the foot of the hill, not daring to rush up hastily. He could sense the powerful energies emitted from the leaders of both parties. They were both masters of the King realm.
Qingfeng Li was only a half-step into Spirit King Realm. Although he had killed the Third Elder, the latter was only in the weakest bunch of the first stage of Spirit King Realm. Someone like Yafei Bing, a master of the second stage of Spirit King Realm was much more powerful.
Qingfeng Li wasn’t about to beat a stone with an egg, he decided to wait and see.
At this point on the snow mountain, both parties glared at one another coldly. The tension between them could be cut with a knife, violent as could be.
"Tiandao Hu, this fifth mountain belongs to our Ice King Sect. What do you think you’re doing here?" Yafei Bing questioned coldly.
Yafei Bing was a beauty, with a tender face. However, her pretty face was covered with frostiness.
Tiandao Hu was a middle-aged man. His rugged face was stoic as he said, "Who made you ruler of the fifth snow mountain? It should belong to us, the Snow Mountain Sect."
Yafei Bing and Tiandao Hu both wanted the fifth snow mountain and neither was willing to give in. Prior to this, the fifth snow mountain was a free territory, ruled by no one.
However, after treasures began to emerge atop the mountain, both sects wanted the land for themselves.
Ziyue Bing had sharp eyes. She looked down the mountain and immediately saw Qingfeng Li. She was very familiar with the man, as he had defeated her during their fight at the Dragon-Tiger Mountain and had stolen her Golden Light Sword.
Ziyue Bing walked towards Yafei Bing and said, "Master, Qingfeng Li is at the foot of the mountain. Be careful of him, he is very powerful."
Hearing her words, Yafei Bing furrowed brows. Previously at the Dragon-Tiger Mountain, she was slapped unconscious by the Peacock Demon Empress and was carried back to the sect by her disciples.
After she had regained consciousness, Ziyue Bing informed her that Qingfeng Li had taken the Golden Light Sword and that he had defeated all of the other young lords from the other sects.
Yafei Bing had since been impressed by Qingfeng Li. She knew that the young man was a great talent, a force to be reckoned with.
Yafei Bing smiled lightly and said towards Tiandao Hu, "Sect Master Hu, if we fight each other we might make it easier for someone else."
"Sect Master Bing, what do you mean by that?" Tiandao Hu asked, furrowing his brows in confusion.
As far as he could see, there were only two parties atop the snow mountain. One was the Ice King Sect, and the other, the Snow Mountain Sect. There wasn’t anyone else.
As if sensing his confusion, Yafei Bing reached out her fingers and pointed below. She said, "Look, do you see that young man? His name is Qingfeng Li and he is not as simple as he looks. He is invincible amongst all masters below the Spirit King Realm."
Tiandao Hu furrowed his brows at her words. He looked downwards to the foot of the mountain and sure enough, there stood Qingfeng Li and his friends.
"Since you’re already at the big snow mountain, why don’t you come up? What kind of a man are you hiding underneath?" Tiandao Hu said towards Qingfeng Li, laughing coldly.
Self-cultivators had superhuman hearing and Qingfeng Li was of course able to hear Yafei Bing’s words.
Yafei Bing was truly annoying. Qingfeng Li was fine waiting beneath the mountain, but now that he was discovered by Tiandao Hu, he had to come out.
Of course, he hated Ziyue Bing even more. If it hadn’t been for her tattle-telling ways, Qingfeng Li wouldn’t be in this much trouble.
