Chapter 171 [170] Traitors die by betrayal; the devout die by devotion

Snowy wilderness.

The “secret passage” that Cheng Han dug out, although more than one kilometer long, was actually just a “semi-buried” tunnel.

The top was not soil, but a layer of snow more than one meter thick.

There was no choice.

The enemies came too fast, and this was already the result of working at full speed.

Just as everyone was about to reach the exit, Cheng Han suddenly shouted:

“Jump!”

When traveling in the tunnel just now, he had emphasized to everyone that they must obey orders.

And the reaction must be fast.

Without thinking, the group used the Cloud Soaring Step, jumping up with all their might.

“Bang! Bang!”

The warriors broke through the snow above their heads and rushed into the sky with all their strength.

Cheng Han breathed a sigh of relief.

The most dangerous hurdle was finally over.

In fact.

The timing of this jump was very particular, and could be described as—life-or-death.

If it was a little slower, they would face the following terrible result:

“Boom!”

The snow behind turned into a man-eating snow dragon, crashing over like thunder.

This was a means of an arcane practitioner rank.

If they were hit by it, even warriors with strong bodies would likely be seriously injured, and it would not be surprising to be killed in one blow.

But everyone jumped up in time, just dodging this blow.

If they had jumped a little faster, the result would have been even worse.

Because everyone was in mid-air and unable to exert force, the enemy arcane practitioner had a hundred ways to kill them.

At this time.

A group of warriors looked down at the snow dragon below, all breaking out in a cold sweat.

Too dangerous!

At this moment.

The warriors had the most profound understanding of the legendary “super-strong sensitivity”.

Subsequently.

“Boom! Boom!”

A series of loud noises echoed in the blizzard.

The collision between arcane practitioners began.

And this also meant that the enemy arcane practitioners could no longer care about their side.

Cheng Han landed on the snow and loudly issued the order: “Withdraw from the battlefield!”

“Bang!”

He used the Cloud Soaring Step again, sliding quickly forward along the snow.

A minute later.

Everyone crossed a mountain ridge.

This mountain ridge, tens of meters high, could just block the aftermath of the arcane practitioners' battle.

The other side of the mountain ridge was a large snow forest, which could also hide everyone's figures.

This was the most perfect hiding place.

It was also a carefully designed retreat in the script.

Cheng Han exhaled a breath of white air: “We are safe.”

Cao Hongshan looked like he had lingering fears: “The collision between arcane practitioners is really too strong.”

Arcane practitioners condensed soul quenching seals, and had the ability to leverage the power of the source energy abyss, which was equivalent to a combat power amplifier.

In addition, arcane practitioners also mastered powerful arcane techniques, and their combat power was much stronger than that of warriors.

A warrior came over and asked: “Team Leader Cheng, what should we do now?”

Before this battle, other people's calling him “Team Leader Cheng” implied a bit of a joke, after all, Cheng Han was not a registered team leader of the Black Mountain Camp.

But after this matter, everyone was truly convinced, and the word “team leader” was sincere.

Cheng Han's eyes swept across the faces, and he calmly asked: “Do you want to kill people?”

The script of the revenge prologue only staged the first act, “The Revenge of the Cult,” and the follow-up had not yet been staged, so of course it had to “continue the music and dance”.

This was the professional ethics of a playwright!

Cao Hongshan hesitated a little, he wanted to dissuade him with a sentence “The battle of the arcane practitioners has not ended, it is best to find a safe place to stay”.

But another warrior rushed to answer: “Yes!”

The Destruction Envoy could not have only come with one arcane practitioner, there must be other heretic god believers, the latter was equal to mobile merits, who wouldn't want merits?

Cao Hongshan suddenly changed his mind: “I should also settle the score with Old Liu!”

This guy suddenly thought that Cheng Han must have calculated everything, since he was following a genius teenager, what was the point of bringing a brain!

Just do it!

Cheng Han spoke eloquently: “The enemy who took action this time is a rather rare ‘Weather Walker’, this person foresaw the blizzard and used it to plan this attack.

“The blizzard near the Ice Snow Fortress is more violent than other locations in the wilderness, and this guy is also secretly playing tricks…”

A group of people listened with great interest.

Although everyone had heard of the name “Weather Walker”, it was limited to reading about it in classics, and it was the first time they had encountered it in actual combat.

Cao Hongshan couldn't help but look up at the sky full of wind and snow: “No wonder the blizzard on this side of the mountain ridge seems to be slightly smaller than over there, I thought it was an illusion just now.”

Cheng Han continued: “Just now I stayed in the fortress, carefully experiencing the special power in the wind and snow, and I had a little more understanding…”

Before he finished speaking.

Cao Hongshan blurted out: “You have another understanding?”

Cheng Han said lightly: “This is just a small matter.”

The other four were speechless.

Understanding is a small matter?

It was extremely difficult for other warriors to have an understanding even once, but this young man was good, he could have an understanding casually, not much more difficult than eating and drinking water.

Cheng Han said to himself: “Referring to the Weather Walker's methods of manipulating blizzards, I combined it with the ‘Ice Jade Talisman Seal’ and comprehended a method of tracking aura.

“In simple terms, I can communicate with the blizzard, and use the ubiquitous power of ice and snow to sense the aura left by the enemy, and then peek into their movements.

“Of course, the premise is that the enemy's aura still remains in the ice and snow, if the time interval is too long, the aura will dissipate.”

This set of methods, although far inferior to the All-Knowing Eye, had the advantage that it could be openly revealed in front of people.

Cao Hongshan was greatly surprised: “The Ice Jade Seal also has methods of sensing aura, but the method you comprehended seems to be stronger than the Ice Jade Seal.”

Cheng Han nodded: “You can say that.”

The methods he comprehended, were more than just “a little stronger”?

More than ten times!

Soon.

Everyone experienced how awesome the genius teenager's methods were.

Cheng Han used the spirit end of the Body Forging Seal to transmit Old Liu's image to the ubiquitous cold air, and also raised a short spear left by the latter.

At the same time, a dark wave surged in his body.

The next moment.

A wonderful scene appeared.

Strands of cold mist gathered out of thin air, swirling around the short spear, as if sensing the aura within.

After a moment.

The cold mist flickered, and actually condensed into a ribbon-like thing, one end connected to the short spear, and the other end pointed to the front left.

A group of people were immediately dumbfounded.

Cheng Han said in a timely manner: “Liu Mingshan is in that direction.”

Cao Hongshan couldn't help but ask: “How is this done?”

The Ice Jade Seal could sense aura, but it was only sensing, and it could never achieve the magical scene of “the power of ice and snow actively pointing the way”.

Cheng Han simply explained: “Wherever you go, you must leave a trace, Old Liu has appeared here, the power of ice and snow remembers its aura, of course it can help point the way.”

Cao Hongshan had an unbelievable look on his face: “You mean, the power of ice and snow in the blizzard has some kind of consciousness?”

Cheng Han was vague: “Almost, but it's not quite the same as human consciousness.”

He had previously analyzed strange things such as ice demons and ice anomalies, and had a relatively deep understanding of the essence of ice-type power, and it was thanks to this that he was able to comprehend the method of cold mist pointing the way.

Including Cao Hongshan, a group of people still found it difficult to understand.

Cheng Han was too lazy to explain further, and waved his hand: “Chase.”

He took the short spear and slid out using the Cloud Soaring Step.

The others immediately followed closely.

This was the second act of the script—the chase in the blizzard!

Or rather—the revenge of the warriors!

“Woo~”

The wind howled.

“Swoosh~ Swoosh~”

Snowflakes swept past rapidly.

“Boom! Boom!”

There was still a roar of arcane practitioners fighting in the distance.

Cheng Han muttered in his heart: “A gorgeous revenge should have grand background music!”

*

Not long.

The startling roar and the fluctuations caused by the battle gradually faded away.

Cheng Han smiled: “In the environment of the blizzard, although the Weather Walker's combat power is strong, it is still not as good as the combined forces of three arcane practitioners.”

The changes in the distance were enough to show that the Weather Walker was no match for the official arcane practitioners and was forced to flee from this place.

This scene perfectly matched the script.

The Arcane Pavilion had been dealing with heretic god believers for so long, it was impossible that they had not studied the enemy's methods, and the three arcane practitioners must have done enough homework in advance.

It could be predicted that the Weather Walker's ending would definitely not be pleasant.

The revenge of the cult and the fist of justice should undoubtedly be won by the latter.

Cheng Han turned his head and urged loudly: “Everyone, speed up!”

He also explained: “When the Arcane Pavilion finishes cleaning up the Weather Walker, they will definitely turn back to clean up the small fries, and there are not many opportunities left for us to make contributions.”

This period of time was the only gap that the Black Armor Army could use.

“Bang!”

Cheng Han kicked the ground hard, jumped up, and drew a rather long arc in the air.

A group of people jumped up one after another, forming an arc-shaped arch bridge in the night sky.

Two minutes later.

Cheng Han slowed down and said in a deep voice: “I sensed it, Old Liu is one kilometer away, close to the edge of a snow forest.”

Cao Hongshan and others all showed joy.

Cheng Han's next sentence made their joy disappear.

“The power of ice and snow also tells me that there are a total of sixteen people on the other side, including a total of five warrior-level experts, including Old Liu.”

A warrior's face changed when he heard this: “I'm afraid we can't beat them.”

According to experience, four to five martial artists with good cooperation were enough to fight against a warrior.

And there were only five warriors on their side, and their strength was obviously not as good as this group of heretic god believers.

Cao Hongshan shook his head: “Not necessarily!”

This team leader suddenly took a deep breath and used the sound transmission method to send laughter far away:

“Old Liu, you have made a great contribution to the Black Armor Army!”

Cheng Han instantly understood his intention and quietly commented: “Cunning old fox!”

*

Far away.

Edge of the snow forest.

“……made a great contribution!”

A group of figures wearing white snowsuits stopped all of a sudden.

One of them was Liu Mingshan.

Out of some kind of psychology, this warrior who betrayed the Black Armor Army took off his standard black armor, and his figure looked a little thin.

After a while.

The sound floated over again.

“Old Liu, you just cooperated with me to put on a good show, let me use fake death to deceive the Destruction Envoy, and left dark marks all the way, otherwise we would never be able to follow so quickly!”

The eyes of a group of people “swished” and locked onto Old Liu.

There was suspicion.

There was also scrutiny.

But there was no trust.

Liu Mingshan was stunned for a moment, and said urgently: “This is a lie, I clearly killed Team Leader Cao just now, and I didn't leave any dark marks! That guy wants to sow discord between us!”

No one spoke.

This was not surprising.

The dead person actually came back to life, and the Black Armor Army came so quickly, it was like they came directly, it was difficult not to arouse suspicion.

How could Liu Mingshan explain it clearly?

In addition, he had been in the Black Armor Army for a long time, and he was not familiar with this group of people, in fact, he was almost like an outsider.

At this critical moment, naturally no one came out to speak for him.

Liu Mingshan gritted his teeth and shouted: “The reason why this Black Armor Army squad is using a divisive tactic is definitely because they are not sure of defeating us.

“Our strength is stronger than theirs, everyone come with me, let's solve this squad first, and then withdraw from here.”

Old Liu gripped a short spear and rushed out in big strides.

After running only a dozen steps, this guy's heart was filled with deep sorrow.

Because he did not hear footsteps.

This shows:

No one followed.

*

On the other side.

Cheng Han used the power of ice and snow to “see” this scene.

He shook his head gently and muttered in his heart: “Traitors will surely die by betrayal!”

Cao Hongshan's divisive tactic was somewhat beyond his expectations.

But this was an even more wonderful dramatic element.

“Bang! Bang!”

Footsteps gradually approached.

Liu Mingshan rushed over alone like a lone wolf abandoned by the tribe.

This scene was filled with a sense of tragic.

“Woo~ Woo~”

The shrill scream of the short spear immediately tore through the sky.

The result of the battle was not surprising at all.

Liu Mingshan took off his armor and completely lost his protection, and was penetrated through his chest and abdomen by two short spears respectively.

This was a fatal wound.

It was also the revenge of the warrior!

Cao Hongshan showed a look of compassion: “Old Liu, we have fought side by side for so many years, and the Black Armor Army has treated you well, why did you do this?”

Liu Mingshan's figure swayed, and a large amount of blood foam gushed out of his mouth, he muttered vaguely: “Praise my god……”

Cao Hongshan suddenly felt angry: “Wake up! Your god has abandoned you!”

Liu Mingshan used his last strength to kneel on one knee, supporting his body with a short spear in his left hand, and making a prayer gesture with his right hand.

Subsequently.

He completely lost his breath and froze in the snow.

Cheng Han sighed: “The devout die by devotion!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The wind roared.

Like salutes at a funeral.

A group of warriors were all solemn.

Cao Hongshan's eyes showed a hint of moisture, he turned to look at Cheng Han, and asked with a serious face: “Can we kill them all?”

Cheng Han answered very definitely: “I have comprehended a more powerful illusion technique, they are doomed!”

He murmured in his heart, "A funeral for the devout, and the only mourner is the enemy. How ironic!"

Cao Hongshan strode forward, "Good!"

*

In the distance.

A group of异神 (Yishen) believers whispered among themselves.

"It seems Liu Mingshan is dead. Did we make a mistake?"

"That is not important. Our God will judge whether Liu Mingshan was devout."

"There's no time. The Xuanshi of Xuange will be back soon. We must leave as soon as possible."

"We can't get too entangled with the Black Armor Army. Let's break through separately."

"Let's do it!"

The group immediately reached an agreement.

But before they could act, their expressions changed simultaneously.

"Bang! Bang!"

Footsteps came from all directions.

Judging roughly, there were probably no fewer than fifty people.
