He intended to use his own flesh and blood to withstand Sun Fei's [Double Dou Weapon ].

boom!

Another loud explosion was heard.

The earthquake caused a massive tremor, lifting up a massive block of earth weighing thousands of tons and hurling it into the sky. This created a huge crack hundreds of meters deep in the ground, from which wisps of cold air rose. If the crack were to break down another hundred meters, the impact could potentially unleash the torrents of the boundless underground waters.

Amidst the billowing dust, a figure flew backward, looking utterly disheveled.

It's... another [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]!

Although the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] was unharmed and his breathing was steady, the few strands of his robe fluttering in the air told a story. His clothes had been torn by his opponent, a truly humiliating defeat. His previously nonchalant demeanor was nowhere to be found. The mist swirling around his face disappeared, and many people saw the face of this absolute master.

The two prized disciples of the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ], Fairenton and Murdoch, were completely stunned and incredulous. They couldn't believe that the person who had been knocked away again was still their powerful and invincible master. Meanwhile, Doni, with a sinister expression, was completely gripped by fear. He knew that he would probably never have the courage to stand up and face the King of Chambord again in his entire life.

"Hahaha, I've already told you, you're no match for me anymore, do you still want to resist?"

A figure flew out from the dust like a shadow, laughing arrogantly as he swept his twin swords horizontally. Instantly, a massive silver-white sword aura filled the void, and countless invisible sword energies condensed into tangible swords, densely packed together to form a gigantic silver-white divine dragon. The sword aura roared like a dragon's cry, relentlessly blasting towards the retreating [ Snow Mountain Hermit ].

[ Whirlwind Slash ]!

This is a special attack from Talic, the strongest of the ancient guardians of the Barbarian race of Mount Arreat in the Diablo World.

This is also Sun Fei's most powerful sword move to date.

"You brat, you're asking for it! You deserve to die!!!" After being blasted away twice in a row, the anger in [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]'s heart almost overwhelmed his reason. It had been a long time since anyone had made him look so bad, especially a junior he had never taken seriously before.

Finally, he could no longer maintain the composure of a renowned Moon Class expert. His extremely powerful Fire-Element Dou Qi erupted, and risking injury from the Dou Qi, he forcefully stopped his retreating body. A pale face appeared on his face. [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]'s hands formed a series of phantom-like hand seals, and behind him, giant Long Spear formed from condensed flames appeared like a peacock spreading its tail, forming a fan-shaped forest of spears twenty or thirty meters long, magnificent and unparalleled.

"Take this... Snow-Mountain-Dragon-Spear-Kill!"

Carrying boundless rage, [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] roared out the name of his Dou Qi technique almost word by word.

His figure paused, and the dragon spear, which resembled a peacock spreading its tail, instantly transformed into streaks of light and flame, hurtling towards the silver, flowing sword energy dragon surging from afar!

boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom boom boom boom!!!!

One crimson streak after another crashed into the silver dragon.

With each strike, the giant dragon of silver, flowing sword energy paused slightly, and the swords began to shatter, the fragments flying like dragon scales. The scene was terrifying and spectacular, just like a battle from a myth!

As the crimson giant spears crashed down like a torrential downpour, the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]'s body slowly began to rise, his power growing ever stronger. The spears that condensed behind him seemed to appear endlessly, forever maintaining the beautiful posture of a peacock spreading its tail, with giant spears constantly materializing from them, crashing towards the silver flowing sword energy dragon that roared in from afar.

Boom boom boom boom boom!!

The colossal silver dragon, composed of countless massive silver swords radiating silver energy, gradually began to falter. It was relentlessly struck by a storm of spears, its speed decreasing and its silvery-white flames dimming. Finally, with a mournful cry that seemed both real and illusory, the dragon was shattered, transforming into countless dazzling fragments of silvery-white sword energy, like fireworks, which drifted down in all directions...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A crimson streak of light pierced through the silver-white light barrier, mercilessly slashing backward.

[ Snow Mountain Hermit ] was indeed intent on killing, and his attack was merciless. He unleashed his ultimate skill, [ Snow Mountain Dragon Spear Kill ], to its fullest extent. He ascended higher and higher into the void, and the crimson dragon spears pierced down mercilessly like meteors destroying the world.

but--

"Hahaha, I'll collect a little interest today. I don't need this piece of clothing; I'll return it to you. Remember, a battle between us is inevitable sooner or later, hahahaha..."

A wild and unrestrained laugh echoed through the night sky, shifting several directions in the blink of an eye.

When the dust settled, there was no trace of King of Chambord Alexander on the ground; he had long since vanished from the battlefield. The [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]'s dragon spear struck the ground, shattering the earth, but it was all in vain.

Clang clang clang clang!!

Behind him, the dragon spear fan-shaped array resembling a peacock's tail contracted from both sides, and in an instant, dozens of dragon spears merged into one, disappearing into the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]'s body. His face was ashen, and his eyes flickered with uncertainty. He gazed at the distant Twin Flag City, reached out, and caught a piece of red clothing fluttering in the wind.

This piece of clothing was the one that Sun Fei had just cut off from his clothes using the [ Leap Attack ] skill.

For the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ], what had just happened was an absolute disgrace.

In this brief duel, [ The Snow Mountain Hermit ] did not anticipate two things.

First, the physical strength of King of Chambord far exceeded his expectations. Even with his physique, which had been nurtured and honed by his Dou Qi as Mid-Tier Crescent Moon Fifth Stage cultivator for many years, it was as fragile as paper in front of King of Chambord. If it weren't for the fact that his Dou Qi was far more concentrated and profound than King of Chambord's, which made up for the deficiency, he would probably have been injured in the first exchange of blows.

Secondly, he hadn't expected that King of Chambord, despite his young age, would have such a refined grasp of the rhythm of battle. He was like a genius who had experienced countless battles, meticulously calculating everything. In the three moves they had just exchanged, he was clearly stronger than his opponent, but because of a slight miscalculation in the first move, he was seized upon and relentlessly suppressed. Throughout the entire exchange, he was completely overwhelmed, unable to display his formidable strength.

"What a terrifying little guy! His improvement in strength and combat experience are both monstrous..."

A terrifying glint flashed in the eyes of the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]. He looked around but could no longer see his opponent, not even a trace. This battle was utterly foolish. Not only had he lost face, but it had also deepened his fear of Sun Fei countless times. He wanted to rush into Twin Flag City and kill this King to eliminate future troubles. However, he thought of his old friend who was hiding in the city. If King of Chambord and that person joined forces, he would definitely not fare well. Moreover, two days later was the day the [ Gate of Gods and Demons ] would open. When all the experts who knew about it came, a bloody battle would ensue. If he were to deplete his Dou Qi at this time, he feared he would be in mortal danger during the struggle for the [ Gate of Gods and Demons ].

After much deliberation, [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] forced himself to suppress the almost uncontrollable killing intent within him.

"Next time we meet, I will stop at nothing to kill this scourge." [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] gritted his teeth and unleashed a palm strike as if to vent his anger. The fiery red Dou Qi, as powerful as a surging ocean, crashed towards the city wall of Twin Flag City in the distance. His palm strike was intended to destroy the city wall of Twin Flag City, which could also be regarded as a response to Sun Fei's provocation.

but...

The city walls of Twin Flag City erupted with towering earthen-yellow flames the instant the battle Dou Qi touched them. Countless magical runes, like swarms of fireflies, danced around the walls, protecting them and resisting the [ Snow Mountain Hermit's ] devastating palm strike. Instantly, the earth shook and the earthen-yellow and crimson flames intertwined, causing the ground to tremble.

After a while, dust began to fall from the city wall, yet it remained intact.

The [ Snow Mountain Hermit's ] palm strike failed to leave the slightest mark on the city wall, let alone destroy it.

The [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]'s expression changed. He stared blankly at the two-hundred-meter-high city wall, and in the next instant, he seemed to finally understand something. He dared not make a move again, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying. Without looking back, he turned and returned to the main tent of the Barracks...

The world is a scene of devastation.

Just now, the two powerful figures completely destroyed this area, which spanned a thousand meters in diameter, in just three short moves. The ground cracked, ravines Zongheng, and sand was ripped up, revealing black frozen soil as hard as refined steel, which released a chilling aura.

After a brief silence, Fairenton ordered his soldiers to retreat like a tide and begin setting up camp.

Having suffered such setbacks in succession, the army's morale has plummeted to an all-time low. His Highness the Prince is extremely worried. The news that the army's food supplies were intercepted and burned en route has not yet spread thanks to his arrangements. However, if an effective food supply cannot be obtained before nightfall tomorrow, the entire army may really have no choice but to slaughter their mounts and conserve their rations to get through the current crisis.

Fairenton with worry, parted ways with his senior brother Murdoch and returned to his command tent. Just as he was about to remove his armor, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He stared at the command table in the tent as if he had seen a ghost, his face turning deathly pale. His expression was a mixture of agitation, fear, and even a hint of shame. Finally, he bowed his head and knelt on the ground.

First update.
