Chapter 1195: Journey to Tian Shuang City (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
The group of cultivators ranged from the Hua Xian Realm to the Great Dao Lord and Dao Master realms, each unleashing formidable powers towards a shadowy figure.
“Roar!—”
Amidst the chaos, the owner of the ice cave let out an enraged roar, unleashing a power comparable to the peak of the Hua Xian Realm. The ice-based Dao force rapidly spread out, attempting to freeze everything in its path.
Under this terrifying power, the cultivators felt their meridians starting to freeze. Even the two Hua Xian Realm leaders showed signs of struggle. Their armor, which was initially their defense, now acted as a prison, with ice filling the gaps and restricting their movements. They had to continuously unleash their powers to resist.
“Elder Xuan! Elder Tang! Act quickly!”
Among the cultivators, a young man dressed in luxurious robes, half his body already encased in ice, shouted urgently.
Hearing this, the two Hua Xian Realm elders knew they couldn’t delay. They manifested their Daoist powers and forcefully attacked the beast.
“Boom!”
The entire ice cave shook violently, the shattered ice turning into mist that filled the space. However, in the next moment, a massive figure charged out of the mist with incredible speed, bypassing the two Hua Xian powerhouses and diving into the crowd behind them.
“Damn it!!”
“Beast, how dare you!”
This scene caused the two Hua Xian Realm experts to widen their eyes in anger and frustration. Their eyes glowed with a cold light as they roared.
Using its agility in the icy environment, the massive beast had targeted the young cultivator who had shouted earlier, recognizing him as the weak link among the group. Clearly, the beast possessed a high level of intelligence, able to discern the hierarchy within the group quickly.
“How dare you, beast!”
What surprised Jiang Chengxuan more was the young cultivator’s reaction. Despite the beast’s imposing figure, he wasn’t overly frightened. Instead, he glared angrily and shouted.
In a flash of light, the young man produced a treasure exuding immortal light—a pair of sharp, iron scissors. Without hesitation, he poured all his energy into it.
With a hum, the ice cave was filled with a brilliant glow. The iron scissors released two incredibly sharp purple blades that surged through the air like twin galaxies, destroying everything in their path.
In this moment, the beast’s form became clear—it resembled a saber-toothed tiger with massive fangs and a body covered in scales, like a mix between a tiger and a dragon, exuding majesty and ferocity.
“It’s an Ice Fang Dragon Beast!”
Recognizing the creature, Jiang Chengxuan murmured in surprise. This beast, with its ancient dragon bloodline, was said to inhabit only the coldest regions of the Immortal Realm. To find one in this ice mountain hinted at the area’s unique mystical power.
“Roar—!”
As Jiang Chengxuan pondered, the Ice Fang Dragon Beast did not retreat. With a roar, it unleashed massive ice storms from its claws, countering the purple blades with formidable strength.
“Boom!”
The clash of powers created terrifying shockwaves, sending sharp ice shards in all directions. Even the two Hua Xian powerhouses were momentarily stalled.
In this brief delay, the Ice Fang Dragon Beast, eyes blazing with fury, continued its assault on the young cultivator. Despite his bravado, the young man now faced despair. Against the beast’s peak Hua Xian power, his own strength was insufficient.
“No! Young Master!”
The two Hua Xian elders reached out in desperation, but were powerless to stop the impending disaster.
At this critical moment, Jiang Chengxuan decided to intervene. In a flash of silver light, he sped towards the battlefield. Just as the beast was about to strike the young cultivator, Jiang Chengxuan arrived, wielding a giant battle axe, and struck down from above.
The sheer force of his attack shocked the beast, causing it to redirect its fury towards Jiang Chengxuan.
“Boom!”
The clash shook the ice cave like an earthquake, sending powerful shockwaves through the ancient ice. The spectators watched in awe and disbelief as Jiang Chengxuan’s attack forced the beast back into the shadows.
Standing protectively in front of the young cultivator, Jiang Chengxuan, wielding his battle axe, exuded an imposing presence.
“Roar!—”
The beast roared furiously but then did something unexpected—it fled. With a final roar, it leaped into the air, turning into a streak of light, and vanished from the cave.
Jiang Chengxuan’s presence had frightened the beast into retreating.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan chose not to pursue. He had no quarrel with the beast and had intervened only to gain the cultivators’ favor and a lead to Tian Shuang City.
“Thank you, Immortal! Thank you for saving my life!” The young cultivator, realizing his narrow escape from death, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Jiang Chengxuan.
“Thank you, Immortal!”
“Thank you, Immortal!”
The armored cultivators behind him echoed their gratitude in unison.
“You’re welcome, it was no trouble,” Jiang Chengxuan replied with a friendly smile.
“You’ve truly helped us immensely! We’re deeply grateful,” one of the Hua Xian elders said, stepping forward with the young cultivator.
“May I know your name, benefactor?”
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Chengxuan introduced himself, quickly building rapport with the group. To his surprise, he discovered that they were indeed from Tian Shuang City, serving as the city lord’s personal guards. The young cultivator he had saved was the city lord’s second son!
