Chapter 21: King Wu of Tang Qiang

  Martial God Storm

  The mountain range was quiet and cold at midnight, with only occasional beast howls echoing through the forest. Eriinda sat cross-legged at the hidden entrance of the cave, concentrating her mind on the movements around her, while silently circulating her spiritual energy to dissolve the remaining ice crystals in her body.

  With the help of Tang Yan's mysterious energy liquid, about 70% of the ice crystals in her body have been broken, but the remaining 30% are still invading her body, affecting the circulation of her spiritual power. Elynda must eliminate them as soon as possible to deal with any potential dangers that may arise at any time.

  Tang Ying and Du Yang seized the time to recover their spiritual power, they had never yearned for strength like now, nor had they ever yearned to break through the martial spirit barrier like today.

  "The fog grew thicker." As the last ice crystal in her body was dissolved, Eriol breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the scene before her eyes felt like a stone weighing on her heart. There had always been a suspicion that something was wrong with these shadowy fogs that seemed to follow her everywhere.

  "These mists are strange, from the moment we entered the dense forest, they have not dispersed. When we were attacked by the pack of white wolves, the mist became especially thick and heavy, it seems to be the same tonight." Du Yang woke up, gazing at the thin mist under the night sky, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  Ailinda's expression was solemn, and she slowly raised her right hand. The slender fingertips exuded a faint chill, as if they had trapped some of the white mist with a life of their own. After a moment, her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Our guess was correct, there is extremely fine spiritual energy within these mists."

  Du Yang's face changed slightly: "No wonder we were attacked by monsters from the first day we entered the Phantom Forest, it turns out that these mists are playing tricks."

  "These vapors probably have some sort of perceptive efficacy."

  "Does the mentor mean... our whereabouts have been exposed?" Tang Ying woke up from her cultivation.

  "I hope it's not too late, let's gather our things and leave this place quickly." Eriinda felt increasingly uneasy, gripping her blue long sword tightly as she rushed out of the cave, with Du Yang and Tang Ying following closely behind.

  But... the mist that had been wafting around the middle of the mountain suddenly grew thick and heavy, like rolling waves, quickly enveloping them. It was as if they were in a fantasy world, surrounded by dense fog on all sides, unable to see anything clearly.

  "Be careful!!" Eriinda cautioned, both of them quickly moved closer, forming a triangular shape with their backs to each other on high alert.

  "Aileen, mentor. It's nice to see you again." A cold female voice came out of the fog, drifting and uncertain, impossible to pinpoint its direction.

  "It's a pity you managed to escape the wrath of the Four-Winged Wyrm." Elinda's face was solemn, this voice she was extremely familiar with!

  In the fog, slightly silent, the woman's voice was even colder: "I don't know what method you used to eliminate the ice crystal, but this time no one will come to save you."

  "This time I won't be careless again, let's go!!" Eriinda's eyes suddenly turned cold, her feet moved swiftly, and a burst of spiritual energy surged out. A dazzling blue light exploded instantly: "Frost Crystal Storm, disperse!"

  A blue glow burst forth like a whirlwind, rapidly dispersing in all directions. Each point of light was an extremely small ice butterfly, containing a dense icy air. In the moment it dispersed, the temperature on half the mountain dropped rapidly, and even the mist condensed into frost, silently falling.

  Ice and frost scatter in all directions.

  In an instant, all the white-robed men lurking in the dark were hit by this small ice butterfly. In this instant, the colorful butterfly transformed into a sharp cone, fiercely breaking open their protective spiritual power and muscles.

  Groans and wails echoed through the mountainside.

  "Kill your way out!!" Elinda shouted, the countless ice butterflies surrounding her body instantly condensed onto her long sword. With full-speed dashes and slashes, her Saint-level strength was unleashed without reserve, bursting forth with a terrifying killing aura. Du Yang and Tang Ying closely followed behind, using all their might to stimulate their spiritual power to protect their bodies. In the face of such intense battle, their own strength couldn't be brought into play; all they could do was keep up with Elinda's pace and not drag her down.

  "Do you really think you can escape?" Zhou Lingluo sneered, and the four martial arts masters guarding the four directions immediately unleashed their techniques. The snowflakes that had been falling from the sky seemed slow and light, but they covered the entire space.

  "Sorry, this place is not accessible!" Ten third-level Wu Ling simultaneously intercepted their trajectory, with icy blades sweeping and slashing, instantly blasting them back.

  Silent snowflakes fell gently and quietly, densely and endlessly, unstoppable, falling onto their bodies.

  "Use spiritual power to protect your body! Whatever you do, don't let the ice crystal enter your body!" Elinda shouted urgently as she charged forward, using all her might to activate the cold energy and dissolve the 'snowflakes' that fell on her. As a martial artist of the Wu Zong level, she had experienced this crisis before and could naturally resist the invasion of the 'falling snow'. But Du Yang and Tang Ying were only third-grade martial artists, and the gap in their strength was too great. When the first snowflake landed on them, they let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground, rolling around in agony. The dense snowflakes fell from the sky, quickly wrapping them up.

  "Tang Ying!! Du Yang! Full speed rotation of spiritual power, don't give up!" Elinda exclaimed in a loud voice, immediately withdrawing her body, but the ten great martial spirits took a step forward together, dense blade storms crazily slashing.

  "Surrender, you can't escape." Zhou Linglu appeared in the fog, under the ferocious mask, those ink jade-like eyes flashed with a hint of cold light.

  "Don't waste words on him, make a quick battle and kill her!" A hoarse voice came from the fog.

  The offensive of the top ten martial spirits suddenly surged, and three more martial ancestors flashed in!

  Surrounded by the threat of "Falling Snow" from all sides, and with these powerful killers closing in for the kill, Eriinda was completely unable to cope. Her cold, elegant face was tinged with a hint of desperation as she resisted the ice blade's slashing attacks with all her might. But... alas, the gap in their abilities was too great. In just an instant, her body was covered in a thick layer of ice crystals, and dense wounds spread across her entire body, leaving her on the brink of collapse.

  Alynda's stubborn counterattack ultimately failed to bridge the gap in strength.

  Just as it was about to reach its limit, a flash of fierce light appeared in the azure eyes: "Crystal..."

  "Who dares to kill a member of the Tang family!" Before Eriol could land her desperate final blow, a thick and brutal roar like thunder boomed through the heavens, and in an instant, a massive wave of flames rolled in from the horizon, evaporating all the cold air around them with its intense heat.

  Under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, a gigantic flame eagle swooped down, instantly crashing into the middle of the mountain.

  "King Wu Tang Qiang?! You've come quickly enough!" A hoarse voice rang out, icy air surging forth as dense ice crystals shot into the sky and instantly coalesced into a massive ice shield.

  BOOM!! A massive flame eagle shadow crashes head-on, fiercely covering the entire ice shield with flames in an instant. However, after only two seconds of persistence, CRACK... numerous cracks fill the ice shield, CLANG... the ice shield shatters, and hundreds of huge fireballs come crashing down like meteors.

  Ahhh!!! A shrill scream echoed through the mountainside, and on the spot, three third-grade Wu Lings were burned to ashes.

  Everyone's face turned pale in an instant.

  "Taizong?!" Ailinda suddenly raised her head, her wavering gaze fixed on the night sky.

  Under the pale night sky, a robust figure rushed in like a madman, his entire body shrouded in intense flames, as if he was a fireball that had burst forth. A violent roar echoed out once more: "Shadow Wings Unfurled!!"

  A boiling flame suddenly spread out, quickly condensing into a hawk-like fire shadow, which soared into the sky with a piercing whistle, shooting up hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, then suddenly turned around and dived down, fiercely rushing towards this mountain waist.

  "Get out of the way!!" Huashu shouted loudly, his eyes as heavy as water, his old body stepped into the air and charged into the sky. A chilling icy aura suddenly spread out, transforming into five ice cones that were several meters long, shooting through the air like arrows shot from a bow.

  BOOM!! Another impact like a landslide and earthquake, the ice cone pierced through the eagle's flame shadow, as if to nail it to death in the sky.

  "What's with the old dog, getting on my nerves?!" Tang Qiang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and in that instant, his feet stomped heavily onto the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that shook the entire mountain, causing it to tremble violently, with cracks spreading like the teeth of a giant beast.

  "Get out of the way!!" Zhou Linglu and others shrieked in horror, fleeing frantically in all directions.

  "Tang Qiong, the young lady of the Tang family is here!!" Erynda shouted towards the sky, picking up the ice-sealed Du Yang and Tang Ying, and quickly fleeing into the distance. The Martial King Tang Qiong was a notorious butcher in the Giant Elephant City, and once he went crazy, nothing could stop him.

  Rumbling!! The mountain's fissures crisscrossed, six mighty geysers of magma shot up into the sky, fiery light illuminated half the air, scorching temperatures seemed to incinerate the entire mountain.

  "Mountains and rivers, eternal silence!!" Uncle Hua's expression was heavy, as if water was dripping from his face. A loud roar, a terrifying icy aura spread out, covering the sky and earth, and in an instant, all the trees within a radius of several miles were covered with a layer of crystal clear ice, frozen and still. In the area around him, a huge ice cone formed, stubbornly resisting the invasion of magma.

  Then...the violent sky slowly calmed down.

  "Is it over?"

  "What about him?"

  Everyone's soul was still in shock, their eyes fluttering with intense horror. In front of the Martial King, they seemed so vulnerable!

  Hua Shu's breathing was slightly labored, his eyes were solemn and had a hint of horror, no wonder he was one of the five great butchers under Tang Yan's command, this guy was indeed terrifying.

  "Where did everyone else go?" Not far away, in the dense forest, Tang Qiang found Erynda by hearing her shouting, with both hands on Du Yang and Tang Ying's shoulders, a warm breath quickly dissolving the ice crystals on their bodies.

  "I don't know, we got separated." Irene finally let out a sigh of relief up until now.

  "I'm asking, where's the young master of our house?" Tang Qiang had a face full of scars, with an inexplicably cold expression.

  "I'm really sorry, we were together before but got separated later."

  "Where?"

  "About seven kilometers west, there's a waterfall. We got separated there... I just don't know if Táng Yàn was caught by them." Feeling the icy stare of Táng Jiōng, Ailinda didn't dare to hesitate for even a moment.

  "Uncle Tang Qiong?" Tang Ying woke up from her coma, and threw herself into Tang Qiong's arms, her small body trembling uncontrollably.

  "Take care of them for me." Tang Qiong gently comforted Tang Ying, looking at the robust man who had rushed over - the third-class martial arts instructor from Giant Elephant Academy, Rachel!

  "You can't leave now, unless you want Tang Ying to die and all of us to die." Rachel glanced at Uncle Hua, who was already paying attention to this place. The other white-clothed men, who had come back to their senses, successively gathered here.
