Chapter 1131: Chapter 1125: Flee
“Not good, what is that?!!”
“The final trump card of the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain’s ancestral land is an array formation connected within their bloodlines through their ‘Snow Spirit’ physique!”
“All family members at the Golden Core realm, follow me!”
“…”
Amidst the slaughter, the Li clansmen abruptly raised their heads and looked toward the cloudy sky.
They had already charged into the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain for quite some time, and their sudden appearance had caught the Qiu Clan completely off guard.
However, the other party possessed tens of thousands of years of profound foundation.
Even though their top experts had already left, those remaining still held powerful trump cards.
On the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain, Li Tianming’s countless talismans had formed a protective sphere.
After numerous Qiu Clan experts failed to deal with him, they had finally unleashed their ultimate trump card.
The flying snow on the Immortal Mountain began to flow backward, and a pillar of ice shot straight up into the clouds from within the mountain.
It emanated a crystal-clear luster, with Spiritual Qi swirling inside it as it surged into the sky, scattering bright icy debris.
The Spiritual Qi from the bloodlines of the Qiu clansmen gathered together, flowing along with the flying snow as it surged toward the twenty-eight experts in the cloudy sky.
Even from the bodies of the five individuals killed by Li Tianming’s talismans, the Spiritual power of their ‘Snow Spirit’ bloodline dissipated and then re-condensed.
Ultimately, it all fell into Qiu Anran’s body, causing his Spiritual power to rise continuously until it reached the critical point of the Void Refining realm.
The Qiu Clan was using an ancient method to awaken an ancient soul, intending to allow Qiu Anran, this Qiu Clan genius, to temporarily break through his realm to fend off foreign enemies.
The Nascent Souls and Primordial Spirits of the Li Clan members sensed this simultaneously.
Then, following a command, all those at the Golden Core realm headed toward the strongest person present: Li Tianming.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Zhijing was clad in the Black Dragon Armor summoned by her ‘Black Dragon Bloodline’.
Her oval face was also covered in dragon scales, revealing only a pair of lively, large eyes.
Surrounding her were demonic beasts controlled by her Beast Taming Art.
Seven of them had already taken human form, but under her command, they reverted to their true forms and flew with her toward Li Tianming.
On the way,
Li Zhijing blinked and looked to the side.
She saw a fatty standing on a massive, resplendent gold coin.
This fatty wore a suit of jade armor sewn with gold thread, and behind him floated a Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact: a Cornucopia.
The clinking sound of gold coins colliding could be heard.
Li Yuanshang!
This Cornucopia and the gold-threaded jade armor had been obtained by the family long ago from Nangong Yazhi in the Tian Xing Grotto-Heaven.
The woman who had once besieged Li Yunlin alongside the elders of the Nangong family had used exactly these Spirit Artifacts.
Li Yuanshang had rummaged through the family treasury and ultimately felt these two Spirit Artifacts suited him best.
One had to know, Li Zhijing was only a step away from breaking through to the Divinity Transformation realm, lacking only the completion of her ‘Heavenly Demon Talisman Seed’ cultivation method and the threshold of transforming her Dantian into a half-demon state.
And this was only because she deliberately held back, insisting on achieving a fifth-tier Divinity Transformation.
Yet Li Yuanshang—the famous ‘Great Merchant’ of the Imperial Capital—had actually caught up to her pace!
“Aunt!”
In the midst of battle, Li Yuanshang wore a cold expression, entirely lacking his usual fawning demeanor.
Shoving a handful of pills into his mouth, he said coldly, “In a moment, if we are no match for them, you leave first! I will bring up the rear!”
“…”
The little fatty’s solemn words didn’t move Li Zhijing in the slightest.
Where in the world was there such logic that allowed an aunt to run away first? She cursed, “Little Fatty, what kind of bullshit are you spouting? I…”
Before she could finish, she felt a gust of wind beside her.
Looking around, Li Xinri, Li Xinjue, and numerous other Li Clan descendants had all arrived simultaneously.
They exchanged a glance and fearlessly charged toward the hundred-meter-tall figure formed by the gathered Qiu Clan bloodline.
However, before they could even arrive, their hearts suddenly palpitated.
From within the talismans where Li Tianming was located, a surge of killing intent suddenly emanated.
A low, deep voice rang out—a cold tone they had never heard from their usually gentle and kind Clan Elder, Li Tianming.
“A bunch of little things, roll aside.”
“What?”
The crowd hastily halted mid-air and looked in astonishment toward Li Tianming, who was surrounded by talismans.
They saw Li Tianming’s body drooping powerlessly, wisps of vital blood energy emanating from him.
An ancient, massive golden bamboo slip exuding a powerful aura floated out from his body, followed by various Dharma artifacts and Spirit Artifacts.
The talismans then attached themselves to these treasures.
Seeing the Clan Elder’s strange state, Li Yuanshang said in a deep voice,
“When the Clan Elders told us to come, they said Ancestor Tianming wasn’t just rarely matched within the Divinity Transformation realm and proficient in Talisman Arts.
He is also our final trump card. Even if a Void Refining expert comes, we have nothing to fear.”
“The Old Ancestor told me something…” Li Xinjue’s expression turned hesitant and grave.
“What did the Old Ancestor say?”
Li Xinri’s eyes widened instantly. He infinitely hoped to hear the teachings of the Old Ancestor.
He hadn’t expected that this sly chicken, Xinjue, had actually managed to hook up with the Old Ancestor before him!
Li Xinjue said, “His venerable self said that if Ancestor Tianming suddenly turns into a different person, we should…”
“Flee!”
“Do not hesitate!”
The clansmen were stunned for a moment and glanced at Li Xinjue.
Li Xinjue had already grabbed Li Xinri’s hand. Under Li Xinri’s bewildered gaze, he dragged him away as if pulling a swaying, tattered rag.
…
In the cloudy sky,
Qiu Anran felt the Spiritual power within his body.
He had already transformed into a hundred-meter-tall Snow God.
The ice pillar that emerged from the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain had become his body, turning him into a crystal-clear ice mountain giant.
His body was made of sharply angled ice crystals, akin to a rare piece of art in the mortal realm.
However, the ice crystal giant’s eyes were bloodshot.
Even though he felt an unprecedented level of Spiritual power and had the ice and snow of the entire Immortal Mountain at his disposal, he still couldn’t suppress the anger transmitting through his bloodline.
This was their final method.
His clansmen had lost their lives one by one, and the bloodline auras transmitting to him meant that ninety percent of his clansmen had already died.
The remaining clansmen flew up and landed on his shoulders one by one.
Qiu Anran mobilized the Spiritual power of ice and snow.
At this moment, he felt the true way to utilize rules—the essence of ice and snow.
With a mere wave of his hand, centered around him, the entire Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain began to freeze over.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
As he unleashed this power, on the already frozen Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain, ice pillars pierced through the ice layer.
Countless ice spikes soared into the sky, all pointing sharply at Li Tianming, who was surrounded by talismans.
Every single ice pillar possessed the most essential rule-based power of solid ice.
It was a sky filled with ice pillars.
Within the circle of talismans, Li Tianming looked as insignificant as a single snowflake.
The ice and snow giant stiffly turned his head.
As he moved, trickling ice crystals fell, sparkling with a crystal-clear luster in the sunlight.
Looking outward, he saw the Li Clan members fleeing.
He was absolutely furious.
“You lunatics! Don’t you enjoy acting like madmen? Why are you fleeing?!!”
Under his command, several ice pillars thrust toward the fleeing Li Clan members.
The sound of tearing air rang out, followed by talismans attached to the ice pillars exploding, shattering the ice crystals.
Qiu Anran stared at Li Tianming in astonishment.
“You can’t even protect yourself, yet you still want to save others?”
Li Tianming’s body still drooped, but the number of Dharma artifacts and Spirit Artifacts floating around him had already reached over a hundred.
Seeing Li Tianming remain entirely silent, Qiu Anran’s eyes turned red.
“Hahaha, then I will kill you first!”
The angry roar of the ice and snow giant echoed throughout the entire Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain.
“You of the Li Clan murdered my clansmen! You are despicable and shameless, launching a sneak attack when we were at our most vulnerable!
This is your retribution! I will even march to the Azure Cloud Prefecture to demand blood for blood and a tooth for a tooth!”
Along with the roar, countless ice pillars thrust toward Li Tianming.
But suddenly, a flash of terror crossed Qiu Anran’s eyes.
That terrifying existence within Li Tianming’s body had finally been awakened.
This Li clansman, who had looked so harmless and somewhat cowardly, raised his head just as the countless ice pillars descended.
He revealed a ferocious, ghost-like smile toward Qiu Anran.
He silently mouthed something, then slowly made a throat-slitting gesture.
The countless ice pillars ultimately submerged Li Tianming and his talismans.
Deafening explosions echoed incessantly, while snow mist surged together with shattered ice debris.
Yet Li Tianming’s final smile seemed to linger right before his eyes.
Evil—and utterly mad.
