"It seems, Ye Qingchen is not going to show up!"
Outside Nu Bing City.
Numerous strong figures who had come to spectate entertained this thought in their minds simultaneously. Ever since they received the news of Ye Qingchen entering this land, they rushed over.
Who would have thought.
After waiting in agony for three days, they still hadn’t seen any trace of Ye Qingchen.
And today.
Coincidentally, the heavens were unkind and thick snow began to fall.
The snow in the Extreme North was different from other regions; even a Human Immortal, without any protection, would be frozen to death in the snow. Amidst the boundless wind and snow, almost no one dared to step into the realm of Nu Bing City.
Even some Earth Immortals, finding it utterly boring, were ready to head home.
"Look, someone is coming out!"
At that moment.
A sharp-eyed person suddenly shouted.
Swish!
In that instant, everyone’s gaze turned towards the front. There, they saw a young man in a flowing long robe, with silver hair, clad in blue, carrying a long sword, leisurely walking towards Nu Bing City.
His demeanor was casual, strolling like it was a spring outing.
"Who is he?"
"He actually dares to approach Nu Bing City? Doesn’t he know the whole city is under martial law right now, isn’t he courting death?"
"Who knows where this hot-headed fool sprang from, daring to flaunt himself at such a critical moment, he’s practically asking for it!"
At the same time.
The guards of the Zhan Family, stationed outside Nu Bing City, also noticed this scene: amidst the vast wind and snow, a young man was walking step by step, with hands behind his back.
For miles around him, there was no one else.
"Who goes there?"
"Stop right there!"
The guards at the first defensive line had already spotted Ye Qingchen’s figure and shouted angrily at him.
Yet, seeing Ye Qingchen completely ignore them, continuing to walk towards Nu Bing City without hesitation, they immediately drew their bows.
"Bang!"
A crisp string sound suddenly rang out.
They saw an arrow light swiftly shooting forth, tearing a path through the wind and snow directly towards Ye Qingchen’s throat. The Zhan Family had long given orders to kill any intruders without mercy!
Just as the guard raised the corner of his mouth, full of mockery, the scene that unfolded next left him dumbfounded. The sharp arrow suddenly exploded just seven or eight feet away from Ye Qingchen, as if hitting a transparent shield.
"Impossible!"
The guard couldn’t help but lower his bow, dumbstruck.
All the other spectators were also in disbelief, suddenly widening their eyes, staring at that figure. Ye Qingchen merely flicked his finger lightly.
"Swish!"
A burst of finger force shot out quickly, directly aimed ahead.
"Bang!"
Before the guard could react, he was hit by the finger force, piercing his head, dying instantly in horror!
...
"Bang!"
When the crisp sound of the string was heard.
Amidst the battle lines, a Zhan Family guard standing as straight as a spear suddenly snapped out of it, exclaiming in alarm:
"What’s happening? Is Ye Qingchen really coming?"
"Ye Qingchen?" Leaning against a crossbow bed, an old guard yawned disdainfully: "Even if you give him eight guts, he wouldn’t dare to step into the range of Nu Bing City! The Zhan Family, with its thousand-year foundation, will kill gods and Buddhas alike, no matter who they are! We’ve guarded here for three days, it’s likely he’s already retreated to Fallen Immortal City... What is that?"
Before he finished speaking.
The old guard suddenly widened his eyes, looking forward in disbelief.
They saw that figure, enveloped in wind and snow, slowly walking forth. The storm of snow around him immediately melted away without a trace.
Like a Demon God from ancient times!
As everyone was shocked, angry shouts suddenly erupted from behind:
"What are you all standing there for?"
"That’s Ye Qingchen!"
"Quickly attack, don’t let him take a step into Nu Bing City!"
Amidst the shouting, the astonishing guards snapped back to reality.
Almost without any hesitation.
The guards of the first, second, and third lines immediately drew their bows, with arrowheads gleaming with cold light quickly set on the strings. Activated by True Qi, dazzling light emanated from the arrowheads.
These had the Spirit Gathering Array inscribed by the Array Masters, capable of exploding several times in power upon hitting the target.
Nearly ten thousand pulled their bows and fired, countless arrows shooting out like meteors chasing after the moon, almost instantly suppressing the whirlwind of snow. Even Earth Immortals had to halt in such an attack.
But unexpectedly.
Before the arrows approached, they shattered like waves on rocks. They didn’t even touch Ye Qingchen, who continued his steady pace, swiftly yet slowly walking forward.
"Impossible!"
The guards widened their eyes.
Though.
They were aware of Ye Qingchen’s terrifying reputation, witnessing this scene still made their hearts tremble uncontrollably.
"Can’t stop him?"
"Even three lines can’t halt his steps?"
"What about the others? The other defensive lines?"
The cries were continuous and loud.
The guards watched Ye Qingchen continue striding into the rain of arrows, eyes narrowing to the extreme. They knew, once this formidable being entered Nu Bing City, it would be a scene of rivers of blood!
At that moment.
The siege equipment of the other defensive lines also began operating.
They saw large crossbow beds quickly adjust direction, aiming swiftly at Ye Qingchen. Huge magic crystal cannons from behind had already opened fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thousands of magic crystal cannons fired simultaneously, instantly unleashing flames, ice storms, lightning, and wind blades, sweeping across the sky. These cannons forged by Array Masters, activated by True Qi, were fatal below Earth Immortal level.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
At the same time, the crossbow beds were fully deployed. They saw crossbow arrows made from beast bones, screeching through the sky. These belonged to the Earth Immortal rank in life and still held three-tenths power after being crafted by Array Masters.
They saw.
This overwhelming attack instantly crossed the sky, fiercely targeting Ye Qingchen.
Rumble!
The terrible explosion raised an upheaval of earth, covering the plain instantly. For a moment, this scene threw the world into chaos.
With such an attack, even a giant mountain would be leveled immediately, let alone a mere flesh and blood body?
"He’s surely dead now?"
The Zhan Family guards squinted, eyes locked on the front.
The Earth Immortals who came to spectate also shook their heads.
"The Zhan Family’s thousand-year foundation, isn’t easily resisted. That wave of attack just now, even over dozens of Earth Immortals would have been blown to ashes!" sighed one Earth Immortal.
The others nodded repeatedly.
However.
Before the Zhan Family guards could celebrate, from the dust emerged a blue figure, surrounded by lightning, flames, ice...
But seemingly ineffective against him!
Regardless of the attacks descending like trials from the heavens, shaking the earth and mountains, he remained unmoved. Just like that, under countless disbelieving gazes, he walked out, bearing the brunt of an assault from tens of thousands!
"Impossible!"
Witnessing this, everyone was flabbergasted, as if seeing a deity.
