I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 581: Chapter 459: Snow Beast Assault and Leng Family Conspiracy (Part 2)

Before launching an attack, they hadn’t thoroughly investigated the true situation at Ice Extreme Pass.

Of course, from the Luoho Clan’s perspective, they perhaps felt they had already paid sufficient attention to "Ice Extreme Pass."

Deploying Tier Seven Holy Blood Alaya, alongside a dozen Tier Six powerhouses and hundreds of elites, such a lineup meant wiping out the small Ice Extreme Pass should be a breeze.

However, they never expected that a single individual almost wiped out their main force, and could even face off with Alaya at Tier Six strength without falling behind.

This unexpectedly formidable strength, not just Alaya, even Inzaghi Luoho, who sent her, would never have predicted.

However, Qin Tian would never tell Alaya this.

There’s no need to shatter her illusions; better to let her be complacent for a while.

Later, when Alaya sees her subordinates failing to attack Ice Extreme Pass, her face transitioning from smugness to shock, surely her change of expression will be interesting.

Qin Tian’s gaze fell on Alaya’s twisted Rakshasa ghost face, his eyes unwavering, his tone calm yet each word piercing the heart: "Once I deal with you, the ugly monster, I’ll return to guard Ice Extreme Pass."

"Qin Tian, you’re seeking death!!!"

The words "ugly monster" were like red-hot steel needles, viciously stabbing into Alaya’s heart.

The black spiritual energy around her suddenly exploded to the extreme, her dark green flesh wings flapping violently, stirring up a sky full of wind and snow, the crimson killing intent in her eyes almost overflowing.

In the Luoho Clan, male Asuras never cared about their appearance; instead, they took pride in being "ugly." The more hideous their appearance, the more it demonstrated the purity of their bloodline and the strength of their power; thus, the top ten ugly men ranked within the Empire were not only not angry but proud of it.

But female Rakshasas were entirely different; they were born loving beauty, usually stunning beauties enjoying the admiration and praise of others. Even when assuming a stronger combat form as Rakshasa, it was merely a tactical decision for battle.

They might secretly mind their form’s ugliness, but would never tolerate anyone mocking them upfront—this was the untouchable reverse scale of Rakshasa women.

"I’m going to tear your mouth apart!!"

Alaya roared, the blood-soaked longsword emitting a dazzling black-red glow. This time, she did not hold back any spiritual energy, even burning the Holy Blood within her. Her aura surged dramatically in a short time, even though the price was her cultivation dropping post-battle, she was determined to make Qin Tian pay dearly for his words.

Qin Tian looked at the hysterical Alaya, surprised that the words "ugly monster" had been so enraging. If that’s the case, then let’s add fuel to the fire.

"Lies won’t hurt; it’s the truth that’s a sharp knife, you’re flustered."

The calm voice was exceptionally clear amidst the wind and snow.

However, these words were like the spark igniting a powder keg, completely detonating Alaya’s emotions.

The black spiritual energy around her foamed wildly, her dark green flesh wings flapping so fast they seemed to create afterimages, even the surrounding wind and snow were tinged with a bizarre black-red hue.

"I’ll kill you!!!"

Alaya’s roar tore through the night sky, leaving no trace of Rakshasa’s allure, only beast-like madness.

...

"The snow beasts are coming!"

On the walls of Ice Extreme Pass, Regiment Leader Zhang Hao stared firmly at the distant darkness.

On the distant horizon, a dense shadow rapidly approached Ice Extreme Pass, accompanied by the dull sound of hooves and roars, even the ground was slightly trembling.

It was a beast horde of thousands of snow beasts; such a massive scale, even though tens of kilometers away, the apocalyptic oppression could still be felt.

Such commotion naturally couldn’t escape Ice Extreme Pass’s warning system.

But Zhang Hao looked at the radar screen densely packed with red dots, his brow furrowing tighter.

Based on his understanding of Mingwang Planet’s snow beasts, the majority would fall into a deep hibernation during the polar night, with only a few cold-resistant species active in the dark. This kind of situation where thousands of snow beasts simultaneously awaken and form a beast horde simply defies logic.

"Something’s not right, this definitely isn’t a normal snow beast siege." Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes with certainty, "There’s definitely someone behind this!"

Connecting the dots to Military Lord Qin Tian’s battle with the Luoho Clan nearby, the manipulator behind this was obvious.

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth, his voice filled with repressed anger: "The Luoho Clan is truly arrogant, having their people assault Ice Extreme Pass was blocked by the Military Lord, and yet they won’t give up, using snow beasts for a sneak attack—do they really think Ice Extreme Pass is a soft target they can squeeze at will?"

One must know, no matter how small Ice Extreme Pass might be, it remains an Empire-registered military base, protected by imperial iron laws.

Yet the Luoho Clan was unfazed, first attacking the safe house, killing three Royal Soldiers, and now blatantly mobilizing snow beasts to assault the city, it’s simply lawless, treating the Empire’s iron laws as a mere display!

"The situation isn’t looking great." Second Regiment Leader Ma Jun hurried over, his face similarly grim, "Our communication signals are jammed, we can’t send out any SOS signal—the Luoho Clan is trying to trap us here completely, wait for the snow beasts to flatten Ice Extreme Pass, then use the wind and snow to cover traces. By then, even if someone investigates, they would only think the snow beasts are to blame, no one would know it was their doing!"

Ma Jun looked towards the increasingly closer snow beast horde, his tone heavy: "With only us, there’s no way we can hold off so many snow beasts, now we can only rely on the few Tier Six experts left by the Military Lord."

Zhang Hao nodded, knowing Ma Jun referred to Xiong, Terreda, and others.
