Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 452 - 283 Frost County_2

Although the number was far less than the 100,000-strong Jade Forest Army, those who arrived at this moment were the weakest at the Tendon Changing Realm or above, totaling thousands of people!

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Chen Mu reached the city gate below, and with a flicker of his figure, he quietly appeared atop the city gate.

"Elder Shi, Elder Feng."

Chu Jingsui, Meng Danyun, and others behind him took a detour, leaping onto the city from a smaller gate on the side of the city gate, while officials from places like Spirit Profound Peak were unostentatious, each entering through the front gate of the city gate.

Upon reaching the top of the city gate, Chen Mu gazed across to the other side and saw a world transformed, with a vast expanse of white as far as the eye could see, the ground covered in frost.

Standing atop the city gate,

he could almost instantly feel the cold spreading over from the Ice State outside the border pass.

"Ice State Frost County, true to its name."

Chen Mu surveyed the distant Ice State, sensing the changes in the world, his eyes flickering slightly.

It was also his first time arriving at the border of the Ice State. He initially thought that from Yu State to Ice State, the further north he went, the colder it would get, a gradual change in weather and climate. However, now that he had truly reached this border, he realized the situation was different from what he had envisioned.

Lang Prefecture’s border pass stood here, and on this side of the world, it was not yet winter; no frost had fallen. But once he crossed the border pass, the temperature on the other side plummeted dramatically, like a steep cliff.

On one side of the city gate, it was lush and green.

On the other side of the city gate, everything was frozen with frost.

It was as if it was a clear line of demarcation, two completely different worlds!

"Is it the city gate that separates the climates? No, this city gate is not the Yunlu Pass of Sha Prefecture, and there is no sense of change in formations or Earth’s Veins. That means this Lang Prefecture’s city gate is simply constructed along that boundary line."

Chen Mu gazed at the far-off Ice State and suddenly felt his horizons broaden. Although he commanded the Qiankun Artistic Conception and used all things with the Eight Phases Rotation Method, many things in this world were in stark contrast to some ’common sense’ in his realization.

For example,

The air should be thinner the higher one goes in the sky.

But after he mastered Falling Flowers without Trace, advancing further and being able to isolate ’gravity’ to walk in the air, he tried to ascend to glimpse the mysteries of high heavens. Yet, the higher he went, the more substantial and condensed the aura of Qian Heaven became, to the point where even he had difficulty climbing further.

The sights of the Ice State were also quite peculiar, similar to Sha Prefecture. Although it was part of this world, it seemed to be completely isolated, akin to an independent stretch of land, operating without interference from other regions.

While Chen Mu was intently sensing the world beyond the border of Ice State,

Suddenly,

his gaze shifted upward to the high sky, far away at the end of his line of sight, a small cluster of dark shadows circled overhead. It seemed to be a demon bird, unknown when it had appeared, not fleeing afar, just staying aloft in the sky, as if watching the border pass from a distance.

"..."

A trace of coldness appeared in Chen Mu’s eyes.

While Seven Profound Sect also tamed demon birds, when it came to controlling and directing demon beasts, they naturally weren’t a match for the Sky Demon Sect. That demon bird reminded him of being surveilled from afar at the border pass in Sha Prefecture.

Although it could be merely an ordinary demon bird passing by, in his view, it was unlikely to be such a coincidence.

At the same time,

Elders Shi Zhenyong and Feng Hongsheng also noticed the circling demon bird in the distant sky.

"Hmph."

Feng Hongsheng snorted coldly, and with a lift of his right hand, a longbow landed in his grasp.

The entire longbow was the color of jade, clearly different from the treasure bows used by ordinary people, its surface swirling with spiritual light, obviously a Spirit Weapon—and Chen Mu was familiar with its name.

Following that, Feng Hongsheng’s left hand quivered, and an arrow that seemed to be made of moonlight, swirling with starlight, appeared between his fingers, settling onto the bowstring. This arrow was also a Spirit Weapon, a matching set with the bow.

"Exec Moon Bow! Shattered Star Arrow!"

Murong Yan watched as Feng Hongsheng drew his bow, took a slight breath, and hadn’t expected Feng Hongsheng to bring out this spirit weapon as well.

This spirit weapon was one of the very few capable of long-range attacks, and within the Seven Profound Sect, it was part of the foundation that was seldom used. In the hands of a grandmaster with an imposing reputation like Feng Hongsheng, the might it unleashed was terrifying beyond comparison. If he aimed an arrow at her, even from a great distance, she wasn’t entirely confident she could evade it.

In the distant sky,

The demon bird also seemed to sense something was amiss, and immediately flapped its wings attempting to fly high and escape, but by then Feng Hongsheng had already made his move. The bowstring vibrated along with the spiritual light, and an arrow, like a brilliant meteor, sliced through the sky. In just an instant, it reached the high heavens, caught up to the demon bird, and pierced it with a single strike!

The demon bird didn’t even manage to let out a cry before it plummeted from the sky, falling towards the vast white expanse below.

His!

The arrow, which seemed like a magnificent burst of starlight, after tearing through the sky and striking down the demon bird, circled around as if alive. It drew an arc in the faraway heavens and then headed straight back towards the city gate, finally falling back into Feng Hongsheng’s hand.

"Good stuff." Stay updated via novelbuddy

Chen Mu, looking at the pair of spirit weapons in Feng Hongsheng’s hands, couldn’t help but let his gaze flicker. Although he could throw his Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear far and strike at great distances, in terms of distance, it still didn’t compare to a true spirit weapon bow and arrow.

Moreover, with his current realm and strength, if he were to use this set of spirit weapon bow and arrow, he could also bring its might to the extreme. He even had confidence that from several miles away, he could kill a Seventh Rank Venerable of the Sky Demon Sect with one shot!

"The Sky Demon Sect’s method of controlling beasts is quite special. In Ice State, they have many demon birds spying on movements. This time I’ve brought the Exec Moon Bow, so those Demon Men won’t be able to easily spy on our movements."

Feng Hongsheng’s fingers chased the still-vibrating Shattered Star Arrow until the arrow stopped trembling; then he slowly packed away the bow.

...

Meanwhile,

At a distance of more than ten miles from the city gate,

Above a frost-covered forest, a figure with white wings, almost blending into the snow, invisible to the naked eye, was flying low. The figure had wings yet possessed a human form, clearly a Demon Man of the Sky Demon Sect.

If Shi Zhenyong or Feng Hongsheng saw its figure at this moment, or if a grandmaster of the Heavenly Sword Sect encountered it, their faces would immediately turn grim, as they would recognize its identity at a glance.

Venerable Xian Yuchen of the Sky Demon Sect!

Although he was only a Seventh Rank Venerable, he excelled in hiding and flying escape. He roamed Ice State, causing countless injuries to the Ice Extreme Palace, Seven Profound Sect, and even the Heavenly Sword Sect, but they were never able to deal with him effectively.

Among the many Seventh Rank Venerables of the Sky Demon Sect, the ones the Heavenly Sword Sect, Seven Profound Sect, and Ice Extreme Palace most wanted to eliminate, was undoubtedly him.

"Exec Moon Bow, Breaking Star Arrow... they’re targeting me with this."

Xian Yuchen stared in the direction of the city gate, humming lightly in his heart, then turned around and flew away hastily.

If Feng Hongsheng had concealed this spirit weapon and sought an opportunity to suddenly strike at him, then it was possible that he could be severely injured. But now that he was forewarned, all he needed to do was to avoid Feng Hongsheng as much as possible.

Initially, he had no interest in engaging with powerful, seasoned grandmasters like Feng Hongsheng or Shi Zhenyong. His targets were always the disciples of the Seven Profound Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and even the Ice Extreme Palace who were in the Five Organ and Viscera Realm.

Their cultivated Five Viscera and Six Organs were, to him, delicacies of unparalleled flavor—precious Blood Nourishment. If he could consume more, both his cultivation and demon body would progress step by step. Perhaps, it wouldn’t take long before he had a chance to reach the threshold of the Eighth Rank!

These Seventh Rank Venerables, with their demon bodies fully achieved and possessing the physical strength of a Seventh Rank Demon King as well as certain Martial Arts skills—which is to say, methods of manipulating demonic power—their strength was just slightly stronger than that of common grandmasters who had just broken through recently. Roughly speaking, they were on par with the top ten on the Wind Cloud List.

But if one could train to a demon body Perfection and enter the Eighth Rank, that was entirely different!

In the entire Sky Demon Sect, there were only two who had achieved the Eighth Rank level, their strength among the grandmasters was extremely formidable, nearly comparable to the top hundred grandmasters of the Da Xuan List or the top ten grandmasters from the Cold North Path!

"The Seven Profound Sect has gathered so many people at the border, probably planning a large-scale deployment in Frost County."

Xian Yuchen’s eyes twinkled.

Come,

Let them all come,

The more the merrier, and the more chaotic Frost County is, the better; only then could he find opportunities to grab some Blood Nourishment to temper his demon body. Otherwise, of late, the forces of the Ice Extreme Palace and the Heavenly Sword Sect have been moving in groups, making it hard for him to find chances to strike.
