Xu Que's voice echoed through the Snow Mountain!
Does this guy want to loot us?
Hearing him speak, Liu Jingning was stunned and could not help but laugh.
From the mirror, she saw clearly that the guy was a good-looking young man. She had never imagined that a man like him could talk like that!
Suddenly, the Water Empress opened her eyes. She was surprised by what she saw from the mirror—Xu Que and many other soldiers falling from the sky, where countless Kongming Lanterns were floating.
Even though he looks very gentle, he is actually quite powerful and brave!
How did he even get here?
The Water Empress was very surprised.
She had met Xu Que for the first time in the Tower of Souls, and had gotten to know his magnificent strength whilst they were in Fire Country together. Everything about him returned to her mind.
She smiled a little bit. Her smile was so beautiful that it could overshadow the loveliness of all the flowers in the world.
"Jiang Hong Yan, I have never come across this good-looking young man before. I saw him coming here with Situ, so he must be very strong.. why have I never seen him before?" Liu Jingning asked, staring into the mirror. "But it doesn't matter, really. They will all die, and it will be all because of you! Jiang Hong Yan, you really are destined to be unhappy! Even your name means beauty that will bring disaster to your beloved… it shows clearly that anyone who is involved with you will always lose their life for you!" Liu Jingning sneered.
Hearing this, Hong Yan said gently, "It is you who should be worried. Your soldiers will be defeated by him! Liu Jingning, if you do not want all your soldiers to die, I suggest you leave now!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Jingning turned around and laughed hard, as if she had heard a funny joke.
The Water Empress shook her head and smiled.
"Jiang Hong Yan, I never thought that you might have become less intelligent since leaving the Jiang family. Do you really think I will believe your words? Wait and see for yourself, my soldiers will surely kill that young man!"
The two stopped talking and stared into the mirror together.
Amongst all the people around them, Xu Que was the tallest. His cheeky personality did not seem at all compatible with his gentle appearance.
Although it seemed like Situ was the one leading the soldiers, in actual fact, Xu Que was their true leader.
Before landing, they had loosened their fabric wings and taken out their long spears, attacking the soldiers of the Ice Troops the moment they neared the ground.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops had not been prepared for this at all. There were only a few hundred soldiers patrolling the city wall, and they had never expected such a thing to happen.
Soon, hundreds of soldiers under the Ice Queen's command were killed.
Xu Que held his eight-star sword in his hand and attacked, felling most of the soldiers himself. Although he could not use his True Core Strength, he was still able to easily kill the enemy, cutting through their lines as if they were a pile of mud. Then he used his Lone Nine Swords technique until they were almost completely crushed.
In very little time, the last soldier of the Ice Troops fell. Xu Que stepped over his body and shouted, "Now, who still wants to fight me?
"Who?" all the soldiers of Snow City shouted in unison.
They felt extremely excited, having so easily killed all the patrolling soldiers. Situ proudly stood upon the city wall, holding her weapon, Fang Tian Ji, in her hand. Her eyes were full of exhilaration.
After seeing what Xu Que had done, she now felt very confident in their ability to win this battle.
"How dare you!" came a shout. A very strong man stepped out of the camp. Wearing ice armour, he was at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage, and looked ferociously powerful despite having no access to his True Core Strength.
"How dare you! My fellows, let's kill them all!" the strong man shouted, gesturing wildly his hand.
In the blink of an eye, countless soldiers of the Ice Troops came pouring out of the camp and assembled themselves into a battle formation.
Since it was already late at night, most of the soldiers had previously been resting. After hearing the strong man's order, however, they had hurriedly gotten up. Some of them were still wearing ice armour.
Xu Que shouted, "Shoot your arrows!"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers of Snow City quickly let loose their arrows.
In one sudden movement, the arrows flew towards the soldiers of the Ice Troops like falling rain.
Countless soldiers of the Ice Troops died then and there, before getting close to the city wall. Without the help of True Core Strength, most could not withstand the arrows.
Most importantly, Xu Que was now already occupying the city wall.
"Shoot! Do not stop! Right! Let's shoot them to death! Shoot them in their faces!" Xu Que stood on the city wall, shouting encouragement.
Meanwhile, he summoned his System and purchased many containers of burning oil with his Acting Tough Points.
"Come and pour this burning oil down on them!" Xu Que instructed a few hundred soldiers. He ordered them to pour the oil down along the city wall.
Soon, the pungent smell of the oil began to permeate the area.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops frowned and covered their nose with their hands.
"What is this smell?"
"It smells so terrible!"
"Could it be urine?"
"F*ck! They are total nuts!"
"How shameless they are! Where are our bowmen? Come and cover us!"
"Huh? What are they doing with torches?"
Many soldiers of the Ice Troops were shocked.
Xu Que gave each soldier a torch and looked down at the soldiers from the city wall, sneering at them.
Seeing this, all the soldiers of the Ice Troops trembled.
"Do not stop! Do not be afraid! They are just playing tricks! Bowmen, shoot!" the General shouted.
Our numbers overwhelm them. Even though they are occupying the city wall, we will not lose. We have lost thousands of our peers, but that is normal in a war. I believe we will win in the end, the General thought to himself.
"Let's kill them!" the General shouted.
Hearing this, the soldiers of the Ice Troops began to run towards the city wall.
The bowmen behind them aimed at the city wall and shot their arrows towards the Snow City forces.
Seeing this, Xu Que sneered. "How stupid! Throw all the torches down!"
