As night falls, the cold, bright full moon hangs above the ice clouds, occupying half of the sky.
Li Yuan retrieved the Snow Cloud Lion in the square, but instead of returning to Qian Xueyuan, he took Yuan Yao directly to the outside of the city.
"Yuan Yao, you come to control the Snow Cloud Lion. I have to get rid of the annoying tail."
After walking several hundred feet, Li Yuan frowned.
"Tail?"
Li Yuan explained: "It should be someone from the auction house, and I still want to follow him with this little trick.
"It's just that the news they send out will cause a lot of trouble."
Yuan Yao said coldly: "As expected of Qian Xuecheng, I still want to take things back."
"Hehe, they don't just want things, they also want you." Li Yuan joked.
Hearing this, Yuan Yao trembled and drove the Snow Cloud Lion to fly.
"Try something new."
Li Yuan turned around on the back of the broad Snow Cloud Lion and took out the Thunder Bow.
Suddenly, the Xueyun Lion's back was filled with brilliant thunder, arcs flashed, like a dazzling thunder sun, and the surrounding air trembled.
The bow string was fully drawn, and an arrow of thunder and fire instantly condensed and shot towards a certain alley.
"ah!"
Lightning burst out in the alley, houses made of huge rocks collapsed, rocks pierced through the sky, and dust and fog rose into the sky.
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way quickly." The little girl yelled forward.
on the street.
Monsters, humans, orcs, heavenly spirits and other primitive beings from all races quickly made way.
"Little Yaoyao, go all the way to the city gate, don't stop." Li Yuan shouted.
The girl nodded and asked the Snow Cloud Lion to speed up. The whistling wind sounded in her ears, and the buildings on both sides moved back quickly.
Li Yuan soared from the Snow Cloud Lion and landed on a tall building. He looked up at the clouds that blocked part of the moonlight. They were all ice demon cicadas.
He looked at the Qianxue Auction House from a distance, where the source of energy was dazzling, and there were at least five or six forces, hundreds of Nirvana realms, rushing towards them.
“The auction house leaked the news too quickly.
"The auction conference shouldn't be over yet, but these guys are actually taking action directly in the city." Li Yuan said in surprise.
This is not to be blamed on others. Everyone knows that he has the Nirvana Pill, the mysterious treasure of thousands of mysterious yuan stones, and the terrifying financial resources, enough to support a powerful dynasty.
Li Yuan no longer hesitated, with lightning flashing under his feet, he strode out, passed several tall buildings one after another, and shouted: "You think you have a long life, I will give you a ride."
Landing on the roof of a certain building, he used the Thunder Element Arrow Formation. Suddenly, thunderclouds continued to appear in the sky above Qianxue City.
Countless thunders flew all over the sky, and countless thunders formed into thunderstorms, shining brightly like daylight.
The thunderstorm fell, lightning quickly covered the buildings, tearing everything apart, and the sound of thunder was deafening.
In the area not far from Qianxue’s auction house, screams could be heard endlessly.
Li Yuan underestimated the number of these gangs of murderers and swindlers.
It would be impossible for him to escape on his own.
Suddenly, an ice cloud quickly pressed down on the sky, which was extremely terrifying.
Li Yuan had just performed Yuan Shu to disturb the Ice Demon Cicada, but now the situation seems to be really impossible to escape.
Looking at Yuan Yao who was rushing towards the city gate, he should be able to escape, and looking at the sky, he shouted: "They are just a bunch of beasts, but they dare to be so rampant."
Suddenly, Li Yuan rose up in the air, tapped his right hand, and a thunder handprint appeared on his palm.
The thunder handprint gradually became clear, containing destructive power, causing the surrounding space to fluctuate violently.
The majestic energy in the body is continuously poured into the thunder hand seal, and it quickly condenses into an energy body. The last force pours into the hand seal, completely condensing it into shape.
At the same time that the Thunder Hand Seal was formed, his right palm was covered with an extremely rich film of blue silver Yuan Power, which was much richer than the Yuan Power covering other parts of his body.
The right palm was shot out, and the blue silver Yuanli film on the palm bombarded the energy handprint.
The handprint trembled slightly, quickly flew towards the sky, and continued to grow in size.
The space suddenly shook, and the handprints formed a thundercloud handprint of tens of feet in the sky, hitting the ice clouds.
In an instant, the ice cloud dispersed, and countless ice evil cicadas appeared, flying everywhere and wreaking havoc throughout the city.
Li Yuan was startled and said to himself: "My thunder cloud hand seems to have a restraining effect on the ice demon cicada."
There is no perfect way for people to survive, just put them to death and then live.
In order to verify, Li Yuan summoned the Qiankun Cauldron, rode the cauldron, and rushed into the sky.
In the icy night sky, a thunderous figure brushed past the icy clouds.
The Ice Demon Cicada's sensitivity to Yuan Zhe's aura sent shivers down Li Yuan's spine.
Countless Yuan people in the city cast their gaze to the sky.
"Who in the sky dares to fly with a weapon?"
"I have been in Qianxue City for decades, and I have never seen a Yuan person controlling weapons here."
"Did he want to kill himself?"
"Hurry up and run away, those ice evil cicadas have gone crazy and are flying around. Once contaminated, they will be killed instantly."
"..."
The Ice Demon Cicada was too fast. Li Yuan waved his palms several times in succession. Dozens of ice clouds were blown away, and tens of thousands of Ice Demon Cicadas dispersed.
After a while, the ice demon cicadas began to gather again, trying to attack Li Yuan.
His pupils narrowed, and Li Yuan couldn't help but secretly thought: "It's time to play Dafa. However, it doesn't seem to be as scary as imagined."
Li Yuan glanced in the direction of Qianxue Auction House, where there were the most experts.
Most of the forces in the city are concentrated there, preparing for a big harvest after the auction.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Li Yuan said to himself: "Qianxue City has been peaceful for so many years, it's time for the rules to change."
He turned into blue and silver lightning, streaked across the sky, and headed towards Qianxue Auction House.
The scattered ice demon cicadas quickly gathered together to form a larger ice cloud, chasing the blue and silver lightning in the sky.
The ice evil cicada was enraged, followed the lightning, and swooped madly towards the Qianxue Auction House. Everything in its path instantly turned into ice sculptures.
Moreover, the number of Ice Demonic Cicadas is increasing, like a tide, they are constantly gathering in the sky.
Elsewhere, those injured by the thunderstorm were all Yuan Zhe from Qianxue City's forces.
I wanted to continue the pursuit, but when I saw the ice demon cicadas charging towards me, they all retreated and fled.
In the Qianxue Auction Hall, the auction conference has not yet ended, and the final crazy scramble is taking place at this moment.
"The beast tide formed by the ice evil cicada is coming. Everyone, run away!"
Suddenly, the Yuanzhe shouted.
Suddenly, the situation got out of control.
"Don't panic, everyone. The auction house is built of huge rocks. Even if tens of thousands of ice demons and cicadas attack, they will be safe." The old man surnamed Zhong was calm and collected.
"It's over. The ice evil cicadas have surrounded this place, at least 100,000 of them."
Hearing this, the old man surnamed Zhong's face darkened.
The entire auction house fell into silence, and an air of despair filled the air.
"There must be strong people who alert the Ice Demon Cicada. The Yuan people here have the strongest aura, and the Ice Demon Cicada is attracted here.
"If we all want to survive, we can only fight together."
Yan Teng rushed out of the VIP room, his huge body suspended in the auction room.
"Everyone, the demonic cicadas cover the sky outside, and the Yuan practitioners with the highest cultivation level in the city are gathered here, and they will not leave.
“We have been hiding here, waiting to die.
"If the ice evil cicadas are not eliminated as soon as possible, they will only gather more and more." Meng Lengchan echoed.
Once a larger-scale beast tide strikes, the foundation that these Qianxue City forces have worked so hard to build may be destroyed.
Now all the forces can only temporarily abandon their prejudices and join forces to resist the beast tide.
"Elder Tongming, what should we do now? Should we rush out too?" Gong Wenxuan asked the middle-aged man beside him.
He didn't want the respected elder beside him to die in Qianxue City.
A super sect like Leiyin Valley cannot accept the death of a strong man who reached the peak of Nirvana, let alone such a young man.
"There is no rush. These Qianxue City forces have been entrenched here for many years, just follow the action.
"There always has to be someone who takes the lead, and naturally it's them. We outsiders don't need to take the lead." Tong Ming said calmly.
Gong Wenxuan nodded, thought for a while, and then asked: "Qianjue Cicada Ridge is called the forbidden land of Yuanshen Realm. Do we have a chance to get out?"
He asked this not because he was worried about himself, but because he was worried about Elder Tongming.
"Don't worry, I have already investigated before coming out this time.
“Whenever thunderclouds appear near Qianjue Cicada Ridge, the ice clouds formed by the Ice Evil Cicada will be avoided.
"Seniors have verified that the power of the thunder element is very lethal to the Ice Demon Cicada.
“Under the same conditions, those with the thunder element have a greater chance of survival.
"Qianxue City is located on the edge of Qianjue Cicada Ridge. Most of the ice evil cicadas here are level three, and the occasional level four cicadas that appear are only in their early stages.
“The only scary thing about these demonic cicadas is their large numbers.
“This time, Yuan practitioners below the middle stage of Nirvana can only resign themselves to their fate.
“Those above this can survive if they fight with all their strength.
“Most of the outsiders’ cultivation is above the middle stage of Nirvana. As a result, those who fall are probably the original practitioners of Qianxue City.
"Suffering such a catastrophe, it seems that Qianxue City is about to change. This chaotic city on the mainland may no longer exist."
Speaking of this, Tong Ming paused and said with a hint of confusion: "It stands to reason that there cannot be a beast tide in Qianxue City. Could it be man-made?"
"Man-made...impossible, impossible. Who has such great ability, these are things that even the Yuanshen realm dare not provoke." Gong Wenxuan absolutely does not believe that it is man-made.
Tong Ming nodded and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
At this moment, the forces in Qianxue City are lobbying outsiders to fight with them against the beast tide.
"As long as you rush out first, we will follow.
"It's as terrifying as you said. If you stay here, you can only wait for death." The Yuanzhe shouted.
"Yes." Then other Yuan people agreed.
The figures of Yan Teng and Meng Lengchan, one large and one small, suddenly trembled, their majestic auras gushing out, and a rare tacit understanding appeared.
The two sides looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Kill!"
After drinking it, dozens of forces in the city responded.
The door to the auction house opened, and an extremely cold wave hit.
From the cold alone, there is no chance of survival below Yuan Dan.
Under the leadership of the two strong men, the Yuans in the field formed a torrent and rushed towards the gate.
The sky is filled with demonic cicadas, covered by the moon.
The dark night feels like the end of the world.
There were horrible cicada chirps everywhere, which made my eardrums hurt.
All the Yuan practitioners rushed to the sky, each performing their own Yuan skills, without any hesitation. Only by giving it a try would they have a chance to survive.
For a time, Yuanli filled the sky, Yuanbao was flying, colorful, and violent noises continued.
The auction house has a radius of dozens of miles, filled with dazzling energy, space fluctuations, energy ripples, flying sand and rocks, and howling winds.
The fire is overwhelming, the lightning is intertwined, the water is turbulent, the sword energy is vast, the sword strikes the air, and all kinds of elemental skills appear. This is a decisive battle.
This world is like a flash flood and a tsunami.
No matter the sky or the earth, countless light groups exploded, making the heaven and earth boil, and the space seemed to collapse.
………
far away.
Under a certain low building, a blue figure looked at the apocalyptic battlefield and couldn't help but tremble.
“The strong will break out of the siege and gain a chance of survival.
"Weak people should seek their own blessings... It's time for this world to change and break the original chaotic order.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing to disappear completely." Li Yuan said to himself, "You play slowly, I won't accompany you anymore."
After saying that, he turned into a blue and silver lightning, like a winding thunderbolt, shuttled through the streets and alleys, and headed towards the city gate.
………
One night a few days later.
To the west of Qianxue City, tens of thousands of miles away.
More than a hundred Yuan practitioners sat together, and a bonfire was set up in the center. The cold wind blew and the firelight swayed.
Instead of keeping warm together, their strength has long been protected from the natural cold and heat.
In such a harsh environment, there is such a bonfire, which makes my heart feel warm.
On the bonfire, branches twice as thick as thighs were criss-crossed, and large pots several feet wide were hung on top.
The thick soup in the pot was filled with large pieces of animal meat, bubbling and bubbling.
Those who have Yuan take out the materials from Yunjie, throw them into the pot and cook them together.
The aroma of meat wafts around, making you feel refreshed and refreshed.
A great tonic that can strengthen the physical body of human beings.
A dozen tall tents were pitched in the open snowfield less than a hundred feet wide.
It was obvious that this was a makeshift camp.
These Yuans do not seem to be mercenaries, but more like a family.
It is surrounded by huge rocks, which can resist the attacks of monsters.
The mountain rocks are covered with thick snow, and they are dyed with a little fire color.
“It’s been almost a year since the Snow League gave us the list this time, and we have only completed less than 30% of it.”
Sitting by the campfire, a middle-aged man sighed.
The old woman next to me said, "When the two years are up, if you can't provide everything in full, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the Yuan Stone."
The depression spread instantly, and the original laughter disappeared.
"The precious medicine has appeared in the world, Qianjue Cicada Ridge is much safer. Otherwise, let's go to the depths of Cicada Ridge and try our luck." A wise man gave an idea.
"We don't necessarily have to go too deep. It's not that dangerous just about three thousand miles further."
"Yes, yes, yes. Decades ago, we were there when the precious medicine appeared. It was not as dangerous as we thought."
"Maybe if you pass by some battlefield ruins where strong men fought, you can find one or two good treasures. Your family will be prosperous and you won't have to do this hard work anymore."
"If you want to think about those battlefield ruins, you can't walk three thousand miles inside."
"Ahem!"
An old man with a slightly swarthy face coughed twice, and the discussion came to an abrupt end.
"My Pei family has been living in Qianxuechanling for so many years, and it has lost its former glory. It is because of my incompetence," the old man said.
Someone tried to persuade him: "Clan leader, don't say that. The forces in Qianxue City have suppressed them severely in recent years."
“Dad, I looked at the list Xuemeng gave me and didn’t do anything.
“The things we have now can be bought for a lot of money elsewhere.
"If you give it to Xuemeng after one year, you might not get a penny." A middle-aged man said angrily.
"Master, what does Tianhao mean?" a clan member asked.
The man who just spoke was Pei Tianhao, the son of Pei Zhengnan, the main force of the team entering the ridge.
Pei Tianhao gritted his teeth and said: "To be honest, we have received news that a few days ago, Qianxue City encountered a beast wave caused by the Ice Demon Cicada.
“Those forces that eat people without spitting out their bones have suffered heavy losses.
"I estimate that not only will they not give us money, but they will probably come to the mountain in person in the next few decades."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
After a moment of silence, someone burst out laughing, and then someone else started laughing wildly.
"This is retribution." Someone shouted to the sky.
"Clan leader, there is nothing to worry about. We might as well take this opportunity to break away from Qianxue City's forces."
"Just like Tianhao said, we sell the monsters we kill and the materials we collect ourselves."
"It just so happens that a treasure medicine appears deep in the Cicada Ridge. With the help of the medicine's ability to suppress the Ice Demon Cicada, we can try our luck at some battlefield ruins.
"Since we are not doing business with the Snow Alliance, this is a good opportunity."
"Yes, we will set off tomorrow and go six or seven thousand miles further."
"..."
