Chapter 1939 1943: Seizing the Treasure
"Bing He, Ice Bird, you two, along with two others from another team, deal with those hundred or so Ice Clan members, no problem, right?"
Yang Qingyun, code-named "Qingyun", upon hearing the Deputy Commander's orders, immediately arranged his team.
Clearly, he did not trust Qin Tian and Leng Yu's abilities, so he directly sent them to handle the Ice Clan.
"Captain, Bing He's strength isn't bad. Why not let him join you against the Fourth Prince's elite guards?"
Leng Yu said to Yang Qingyun, who originally brought Qin Tian to handle this task.
"Our team members are not weak. Follow orders!"
Yang Qingyun glared at Leng Yu, then stared at Qin Tian, asking, "Bing He, you have no objections to this setup, right?"
Qin Tian nodded, "I follow orders, no objections."
"That's the spirit."
Yang Qingyun smiled faintly, casting another glance at Qin Tian, "Everyone, prepare to move with the main force and be ready for action anytime!"
As the group hurried along quietly, Leng Yu was still disgruntled with Yang Qingyun's decision, whispering to Qin Tian, "Qingyun's just afraid you'll steal his credit; he's too selfish..."
Qin Tian replied, "Doesn't matter, anyway you're injured. Though you're seventy to eighty percent healed, it's best to be cautious. Dealing with those Ice Clan members is easy for us, isn't it great?"
"You actually think that way, alright."
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Leng Yu could only smile helplessly, unable to continue arguing.
The eighteen people arrived at Snow Mountain Canyon that same day, explored the terrain, and set up an ambush.
Qin Tian and Leng Yu were in a small forest on the side of the canyon.
Their task, along with two others, was the easiest—just stall the Ice Clan's people when needed.
Though the Ice Clan had many members, they would undoubtedly flee if they couldn't win.
By dusk the next day, sure enough, a large force approached from the north.
The Ice Clan members, all clad in white mink coats, surrounded a giant object covered in black cloth in groups of dozens.
The giant object, three to four meters tall, was entirely wrapped in black cloth, appearing extremely massive.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Clan was concerned with the twelve elite guards of the Fourth Prince, who walked cautiously around the ancient giant beast figure.
"This is a canyon; let's speed up."
"Be on alert; we're nearing the Imperial City. No mistakes can be made!"
"I think the surrounding terrain is perfect for an ambush. Reconnaissance soldiers, expand the scouting range!"
Upon reaching the center of the canyon, the guard captain of the Fourth Prince began ordering the Ice Clan to expand the scouting range.
The sound echoed through the canyon.
When this group reached the Deputy Commander's pre-arranged ambush site, a strange whistle signaled the ambushers to strike!
Among the fourteen enforcers, three crossbowmen first targeted and stealthily shot at the twelve guards, taking down two. Then the Deputy Commander led Yang Qingyun and Chen Zhi to charge out first.
"Kill!"
The front-line charged out, while Qin Tian and three others, under another commander's lead, followed suit and charged out.
With a rumble!
Within Snow Mountain Canyon, the ground shook as hundreds of streams of True Qi intersected, causing rocks to fly chaotically.
Qin Tian wielded the Red Sword, facing the low-level Ice Clan members, cutting them down one by one effortlessly, forcing them to dodge upon seeing him.
Though Leng Yu's cultivation was several levels below Qin Tian's, she and the two other companions seemed equally unthreatened, but the sheer number of opponents meant they needed time.
With no Ice Clan members attacking him and Qin Tian's group successfully stalling all the Ice Clan members for Yang Qingyun,
Qin Tian, having nothing better to do, simply sat on a nearby giant rock, watching the Deputy Commander and others battle fiercely with the Fourth Prince's twelve guards.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sword light enveloped the canyon; the Fourth Prince's guard captain displayed superb swordsmanship, unleashing fierce sword light, forcing the Deputy Commander to retreat!
"Late Stage Small Immortal Realm?!"
The Deputy Commander was somewhat surprised, clearly underestimating the opponent's strength.
"I'll join in, let's attack together!"
Yang Qingyun, seeing the Deputy Commander disadvantaged against the captain, flashed forward to join forces with the Deputy Commander and target the guard captain.
The Deputy Commander whispered, "How are they?"
Yang Qingyun replied solemnly, "Not good. We've underestimated the strength of these guys. Although we injured two with our sneak attacks, it feels like it'll be hard to take them down swiftly."
"Then, capturing their leader will solve everything!"
"We have to fight!"
Their long swords roared out sword glows under the massive impact of True Qi, as both simultaneously used their ultimate moves.
"Sky Dominating Sword Technique!"
"Killing Intent Technique!"
Golden and silver sword glows wove into a vast net, as the Deputy Commander and Yang Qingyun mobilized to attack the guard captain fiercely!
Yet the guard captain showed no fear, facing the net, merely shouting, "Overconfident fools, die!"
One sweep of the sword!
Fierce sword glow blasted forward, directly tearing an opening in the sword Qi net combined by Deputy Commander and Yang Qingyun!
Not only that, but the guard captain's sword Qi pushed forward, surprisingly breaking through the True Qi protective shields of Yang Qingyun, sending them flying!
Thud!
The Deputy Commander crashed to the ground, grimacing in pain.
Yang Qingyun was sent flying, directly hitting the giant rock Qin Tian sat on.
"Pft!"
Yang Qingyun spat a mouthful of blood, using his sword to prop himself up, slowly standing, his face pale!
"Hmph, you think you can seize this? Death awaits!"
The guard captain grasped his Silver Sword, steadily approaching Yang Qingyun, arrogantly declaring, "I'm at the Small Immortal Realm Peak, how dare you be so insolent!?"
Small Immortal Realm Peak?
Upon hearing this, both Deputy Commander and Yang Qingyun were shocked, their hearts sinking.
Both of them were at the Middle Stage of the Small Immortal Realm, how could they fight?
Unable to win, a mortal peril!
Facing the relentless guard captain, Yang Qingyun was terrified, retreating step by step.
Rustle.
A few pieces of shell above his head fell onto Yang Qingyun's head.
Yang Qingyun looked up, almost exploding with anger.
Qin Tian was sitting on the stone behind him, watching the show, cracking seeds!
"Bing He! Aren't you going to act!"
Yang Qingyun couldn't even bother scolding Qin Tian now; the priority was to have someone cover him so Qin Tian could take on the guard captain and buy him time to escape.
"As planned, we've dealt with the Ice Clan members, already driving them back. Sorry, this matter here, as per pre-arranged, is yours. You continue."
Qin Tian kept cracking seeds, casually saying to Yang Qingyun.
