The young man standing outside Frost Wind Valley, calling out Jiang Wang’s name, his clothes and armor in tatters, suddenly fell silent. With that silence, it seemed as though all sound was instantaneously withdrawn. A silent zone formed around him, and this silence rapidly spread. Within this eerie silence, he took a step forward.
An ordinary-looking step.
Yet, it was a step into Frost Wind Valley and into the extremely cold wind!
Only leaving everyone with a view of his back... a back that was ordinary before, now suddenly becoming sinister.
That back actually made Wang Kun feel a chill!
This person has issues! Major issues!
Wang Kun almost wanted to shout.
But how could sound match this person’s speed? He didn’t even get a chance to open his mouth before this person in his view had already passed Ji Zhaonan, facing Jiang Wang head-on, delivering a punch!
It wasn’t just Wang Kun who didn’t react in time.
Even Ji Zhaonan couldn’t keep up!
In an instant, the spear was turned, armor vibrated, and a blazing light danced wildly. He tried to unleash Wushuang once more, but was more than a beat too slow!
The mysterious person’s steps and punch were simple, embodying a profound understanding of the essence of things — what is called the Great Dao’s simplicity.
This punch swept forth with terrifying power, temporarily parting the extremely cold wind! In the most direct, clearest way, it struck the target squarely!
Wang Kun was not without amazement as he saw, in this split second where time seemed to freeze, that Jiang Wang, who was already heavily drained, exhibited a pinnacle level of reaction. His sword moved horizontally, his body pulled back, with divine skills unleashed and Dao techniques flowing almost seamlessly. The soul killing method, the seal method, and his swordsmanship were exceedingly cleverly linked, but it was all to no avail!
This mysterious person’s abrupt, face-forward punch directly blasted the once awe-inspiring Marquis Wu’an of Daqi deeper into the depths of Frost Wind Valley.
With no power to resist!
In an instant, the cold winds and fiery flashes were extinguished.
Within the vast white expanse of the extremely cold wind, no more dazzling brilliance could be seen, nor the figure of that young Marquis!
Only the howling and swirling wind.
Only the corpse of the Heavenly Sea King Shi Shanwen, fallen not far away, could perhaps still attest to Jiang Wang’s martial achievements!
At the closest moment, Jiang Wang was only a few dozen steps from the Frost Wind Valley’s outside.
At a usual time, it was merely a step away.
Yet just that little distance, he couldn’t step out from.
Who was it? Whose trap, whose punch?
At this moment, Ji Zhaonan seemed frantic, the blazing light around him forcing the extremely cold wind several feet away. But he, wielding the Shao Hua Spear, with a roaring killing intent, saw only a calm face.
The person no one recognized yet belonged to which force, had joined the battlefield at Frost Wind Valley as a supporter. His performance in battle was average, surviving thus far with some difficulty.
Yet it was in this punch that he showed power infinitely close to the Dongzhen realm!
At this moment, he looked once in Jiang Wang’s disappearing direction, then turned around, calmly meeting Ji Zhaonan’s gaze, somewhat regretfully saying, "My time is up."
As he spoke, his body began to disintegrate at an alarming rate. This disintegration had nothing to do with the extremely cold wind, but came solely from within him. This disintegration seemed to give him more strength.
Annihilation technique?
Equality Country?
Such questions arose in Chunyu Gui’s heart.
And Chunyu Gui was not the only one with such doubts.
Then this person merely raised his right hand, simply clenched a fist, and simply struck. The powerful, unmatched fist directly clashed with the suddenly surging Ji Zhaonan, wanting to rush into Frost Wind Valley. The forceful fist opened the heavens and earth, swept away the spear’s radiance, blasting it entirely out of Frost Wind Valley!
His left hand was raised high, reaching toward the sky over Frost Wind Valley, as if grabbing something, then fiercely slamming it down!
"The extremely cold wind has arrived." He said, "This place, silent!"
His words became law.
He held the extremely cold wind in front of him, forming it into a flowing barrier, sealing off the mouth of the valley on this side, creating a prison gate.
With his last ounce of strength spent, his body then completely disintegrated, swept away by the extremely cold wind, nothing remaining.
Ji Zhaonan, however, under the increasingly chilling frost wind, had no choice but to retreat!
At this moment, the extremely cold wind completely filled Frost Wind Valley, raging madly within the valley like a rampaging beast. The cold deepened rapidly, and icicles began to form on the cliffs.
Frost Wind Valley was still several days away from entering its true period of silence, but this mysterious person used his final strength to halt the extremely cold wind, causing the silent period to start ahead of time!
This meant that not only was Ji Zhaonan’s possibility of penetrating deeper to rescue in Frost Wind Valley thoroughly cut off, but Jiang Wang’s path of return was also severed, even to the extent that Ji Zhaonan couldn’t retrieve Jiang Wang’s body!
In such a state, having taken such a powerful punch, Jiang Wang was almost surely in a mortal predicament.
Even if by chance he was still alive, there is no way he could escape from the current Frost Wind Valley.
Even if by some miracle he escaped Frost Wind Valley, enduring the extremely cold wind, how could he possibly survive the eleven-month-long silent period within the Demon clan territory on the other side of Frost Wind Valley?
Though a body has not been seen, it can almost be declared —
Marquis Wu’an of Daqi, perished in Frost Wind Valley!!!
Things have grown serious...
Witnessing this scene, Chunyu Gui thought as such.
Handling this improperly could lead to unimaginable consequences.
The unseen gloomy clouds were even heavier than the extremely cold wind before them!
He sheathed his sword, striding forward, reaching Ji Zhaonan’s side.
But Ji Zhaonan only gripped his spear towards that frost wind barrier, saying nothing. His gauntlets were shattered, the hand holding the spear stained red, still trembling slightly.
