Chapter 1390: The Man in the Snow


Chapter 1390: The Man in the Snow

The wind and waves here almost never ceased all year round. No towering ancient trees could be found on the island. Even shrubs were rarely seen.

It was unknown whether moss or algae had crawled over the rocks, but they appeared dark green, even nearly pitch-black, making the entire island seem dim and desolate.

There seemed to be nothing special about this deserted island.

Qin Sang followed closely behind Bifang and flew toward the island. From afar, he swept his gaze over it but discovered no traces of spiritual arrays or barriers.

It was difficult to imagine what kind of treasure could be hidden here.

Qin Sang examined the surroundings of the deserted island and thought to himself. It is, however, a good place to escape after seizing a treasure...

Based on his past experience, this place was already very close to the storm belt. As long as he entered the depths of the storm belt, his enemies would fear losing their way and surely would not dare to pursue him without restraint.

***

On the barren island.

Master Feng could only spread out his spiritual consciousness and search aimlessly.

The demon kings, however, under the Rainbow Rat’s guidance, easily locked onto the hiding place of the Mystic Heaven Palace traitor.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The demon kings deliberately created a false impression, pretending they had no interest in the barren island. But while Master Feng and the others were still wavering in suspicion, their evasion light suddenly turned. With lightning speed, they pounced toward the northern part of the island, a region filled with stone mountains!

The stone mountains were full of jagged, grotesque rocks, all exposed to the open air.

It could be seen that these stone mountains formed several ranges, but their terrain was extremely chaotic, making it difficult to discern their layout.

Their target seemed to be a deep valley among the stone mountains.

On the stone walls on both sides of the valley, countless jagged rocks jutted out like interlocking wolf fangs, almost covering the entrance to the valley. Inside, it was pitch-black, so dark one could not see their own hand before their face.

At the sight of this, Master Feng realized that the Mystic Heaven Palace traitor was hidden inside the deep valley.

He gave a somewhat annoyed cold snort. He had clearly used his spiritual consciousness to search that area just now, yet he had not detected the slightest abnormality. No wonder the Mystic Heaven Palace traitor had been able to escape for so long. The man did indeed have some tricks.

Without the slightest hesitation, Master Feng’s figure flickered. He transformed into a wisp of azure smoke and rushed toward the deep valley at even greater speed.

Unexpectedly, the demon kings in mid-air suddenly split up. The frog-fish and Cunning Fox moved one ahead and one behind, their direction unchanged.

The eagle demon and the azure snake demon turned their evasion light and moved to stop Master Feng.

The Rainbow Rat leaped up from the eagle demon’s body and left the battlefield in advance. He was still in a weakened state and did not dare take part in the fight.

The battlefield was chaotic and merciless. The treasure was about to fall into their hands. Being injured or killed now would not be worth it.

The Rainbow Rat’s round body was exceptionally nimble. He landed lightly on the ground, his mung-bean-sized eyes spinning as he swept a glance over the battlefield. Then his body twisted, burrowed into a crack in the rocks, and vanished.

"Get lost!" With two demon kings blocking his path, Master Feng showed no fear at all. His furious shout boomed like thunder, full of domineering aura.

Seeing how arrogant and overbearing Master Feng was, the azure snake demon felt displeased. She let out a crisp snort, and her slender waist swayed lightly before her body suddenly expanded.

In an instant, the azure snake transformed into a hundred-zhang giant python. Her body was comparable to that of a Jiao, casting a vast shadow over the ground. Her upper body rose high, and her cold eyes looked down on Master Feng. Her vertical pupils suddenly shot out two beams of azure light like sharp swords. At the same time, her tail lashed out violently, stirring up a hurricane as it whipped toward Master Feng.

The eagle demon’s speed was not slow either. His wings spread wide like dark clouds hanging from the sky. His sharp claws were hooked, flashing with cold light, sharper than blades and swords.

There was no doubt that if those claws landed, they would tear their target open on the spot.

The two great demons were incomparably ferocious and coordinated perfectly. Together, they moved to strangle Master Feng!

Compared to them, Master Feng’s figure appeared so frail.

Unexpectedly, Master Feng seemed not to see the two demons’ attacks at all. His figure remained like smoke, and his speed did not slow in the slightest.

Swish! The sharp claws moved as fast as lightning, easily tearing the azure smoke apart.

Seeing that his strike had landed, the eagle demon could not help feeling somewhat surprised. A trace of delight had just flashed through his eyes when he suddenly froze.

An unexpected scene appeared. After the azure smoke passed through the gaps between his claws, it abruptly gathered back together. Master Feng was completely unharmed!

But the crisis was not yet over.

Boom! The snake tail followed close behind, directly plowing a deep trench through the ground and sending rocks flying everywhere.

The azure smoke suddenly drifted upward.

Master Feng not only brushed past the snake tail, but an azure light also burst from his body. The vague shadow of an ancient mirror appeared, and it actually reflected the azure snake’s two beams of pupil light back at her.

The azure snake hurriedly flung her head aside, and she slammed into a mountain, crushing countless rocks.

The mountain peak shook. Amid the thunderous rumbling came a miserable cry.

Even so, she had still failed to dodge completely, and her scream was shrill. Blood was flowing from both her eyes. She had clearly suffered a backlash.

However, such an attack could not actually injure a demon king. The azure snake immediately rallied herself and tried again to stop Master Feng, but it was already too late.

Everything had happened extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, Master Feng had darted and twisted with astonishing agility, easily passing through the blockade of the two demon kings. His methods were so brilliant and his evasion technique so strange that everyone was left dumbfounded.

The two demon kings looked at each other, and the same question emerged in their minds. What kind of evasion technique is this?

It was somewhat like Wind Evasion, yet it did not seem entirely the same.

Wind Evasion was famous alongside Lightning Evasion. It was not as extremely swift as Lightning Evasion, but its strength lay in its flexibility, making it elusive and difficult to predict. Master Feng’s evasion technique already possessed some of the essence of Wind Evasion. Even if it was not true Wind Evasion, it was still a high-tier supernatural ability.

***

At the same time, Qin Sang and Bifang arrived above the barren island during their chase.

It was unknown how these demon kings had communicated.

The eagle demon and snake demon made a decisive choice. They gave up on Master Feng and joined forces to pounce toward Island Master Shen and the other two, who had followed closely behind Master Feng.

There were only two of them, and they were facing three Spiritual Infant cultivators at the same cultivation realm as themselves. Still, they could manage to stop the other side for a while. Not everyone possessed a bizarre evasion technique like Master Feng’s.

As for Bifang, he paid no attention to this battlefield at all. His fierce gaze locked onto Master Feng, and he transformed into a blood-red light before diving downward!

Qin Sang followed close behind, and Madam Yue’s urgent cry rang in his ears, "Daoist Ming Yue, stop him!"

Master Feng could toy with the eagle demon and snake demon, whose cultivation was below his, but against his old rival Bifang, it would be impossible for him to break free as easily as before.

The Mystic Heaven Palace traitor was seriously injured. As long as Bifang kept Master Feng busy for even a moment, the frog-fish and Cunning Fox would be able to kill the man and seize the treasure.

By then, everything would be too late!

Qin Sang glanced at the deep valley and said coldly, "Daoist Yue, are you still not going to tell me the truth?"

"It is—" Madam Yue was just about to give the excuse she had prepared.

An unexpected change suddenly erupted from within the deep valley! A cold wind surged out of the valley. Snow began to fall from the sky.

In an instant, a bone-piercing chill spread through the surrounding peaks. A thin layer of white frost covered the dark mountain rocks.

Amidst howling wind and snow, a man in white flew out from the deep valley and appeared before everyone.

This man had a handsome appearance and an otherworldly bearing. His cultivation was not concealed in the slightest. He was also a Spiritual Infant Realm cultivator.

His face was bloodlessly pale, and his skin was almost transparent. His flesh and blood seemed to be formed from mystic ice.

He was clearly weak, seemingly strong on the outside but hollow within.

Strangely, in everyone else’s perception, this man’s aura remained powerful. It did not seem like the aura someone seriously injured should have possessed.
