Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty Three – A Snowy Blue Flower (2/2)

Qinghua Xue did not think that much. She was not so innocent to think that her two yao arts just now were enough to kill the other. After her two yao arts left her hand, she had begun preparing new yao arts.

Her wrist turned, the blue bat spread its wings and flew into the sky. Countless rays of blue light fell from the body of the blue bat. In the next moment, these thin rays of light formed a blue tower. The blue tower was covered in exquisite patterns. A blue bat stood guard at the top of the tower.

[Bat Tower]!

The blue tower moved quickly. Like an enormous metal cage, it even enveloped the shards of ice.

The iciness immediately dissipated, and the ice shards inside the tower disappeared at an astounding rate.

Lu Han was both shocked and angry. He hadn’t though a single moment of inattention would cause him to end up in such a disadvantageous state. He usually was proud, when had he been left so disheveled before? Also, the enemy was just a little girl. If news of this spread, wouldn’t his reputation fall to the floor?

For the mission this time, the sect had really bled and sent out numerous experts.

When the [Angel Device Raiment] had appeared in the mo territories, it meant that Kun Lun would not be able to obtain it through conventional methods. If they couldn’t trade for it, they could only steal it. In order to not attract attention, the sword xiu of Kun Lun split into groups to sneak into the mo territories.

Lu Han’s group arrived the earliest and had been hidden near Bu Zhou City all this time to search for an opportunity. Out of wariness, he had set up several secret scouting bases outside the city. Tonight, these secret scouts finally became useful.

However, he wasn’t the only one to set up secret scouts outside of the city.

During the pursuit, they had encountered many factions with the same goal. A melee battle had started, a short yet intense one.

In the span of a few dozen breaths, almost all of the elite sword xiu around him had died. In the mo territories, Kun Lun didn’t just lack advantages they also were in enemy territory. If their identities were exposed, they would be surrounded and attacked by other mo factions.

Lu Han was powerful and didn’t lose the target.

There were also two people who didn’t get left behind like himself. His original intentions had been to sneak close to Xiao Yun Hai, capture him, and then use him to control the situation.

He hadn’t expected that he would be found by Qinghua Xue just as he neared.

In the intelligence he received, Qinghua Xue was an insignificant person. While she had fought against the head of the Tang Family guards, but in the eyes of pseudo-fanxu level xiuzhe, strength of that level wasn’t worth a mention. Yet they quickly found the details on Qinghua Xue.

Qinghua Xue was born from a branch family of the Blue Flower Family. The fact that she had been sent to join the envoy proved that the Blue Flower did not place any importance on her. Everyone had thought that she had appeared by Xiao Yun Hai’s side because Feng Xin Zi had gifted her as a maid to Xiao Yun Hai. This speculation was appropriate to her status and identity.

However, this woman that was thought to be a maid had put him in a sorry state.

His first conclusion was that she was a secret piece that Feng Xin Zi had set down!

Yet the time did not allow him to think on this further. The other’s yao arts came constantly like anoose continuously tightening around his neck.

The blue light inside the blue tower was multiple times thicker than before. He seemed to have fallen into a bog. Each movement was difficult. Even stranger was that the speed of his ling power circulation inside his body had started to slow as well.

At this time, Lu Han didn’t dare to underestimate Qinghua Xue at all. He moved all the ling power in his body and shouted. The Ice Soul Sword in his body was suddenly thrust into the ground!

Snowy white icy frost quickly spread into the surroundings.

Then immediately after, the ground around Lu Han started to tremble violently as though something was about to break out.

Crack crack!

Cracks appeared on the ground. Countless snowy white and icy sword essences flooded out of the ice cracks.

[Ten Thousand Sword Glacier]!

The ice swords that erupted from the ground could be counted in the tens of thousands. It was like a ferocious flood of ice swords. The cold edges almost tore the exquisite blue tower to pieces in the blink of an eye!

The guard leader’s expression changed slightly. Even he couldn’t help but reach for his mo weapon at such a vast and furious sword essence.

As expected of a Kun Lun sword xiu!

Yet Qinghua Xue reacted a step ahead of him. She seemed to have expected that the blue tower would not be able to stop the enemy. The blue flowers that were torn up in the ice sword flood suddenly lit up faintly.

It was like a group of fireflies flying in the night. The dots were beautiful mixed in the enemy’s ice sword flood.

[Blue Firefly Pounce]!

Lu Han suddenly found that the ice sword flood was raging out of his control. He was stunned. There were dots of blue light within the ice sword flood. No matter what method he used, he was unable to remove them.

It was these dots of blue light that caused his control of sword essence to falter.

He had never seen such a strange yao art before.

He had never heard of the Blue Flower Family having such a move before. Lu Han was astounded. The Blue Flower had some fame among the yao, and Kun Lun had relatively detailed records of the [Blue Flower] technique.

After being defeated continuously, Lu Han felt fear. Then he looked at the Rare Artifacts Hall guard leader waiting at the side. He knew that his plan had failed. If they continued to fight, the ambush would become a frontal assault that would not be advantageous to him.

He was decisive and did not hesitate to move away and retreat.

Qinghua Xue’s inexperience in battle showed at this time. She hadn’t expected that Lu Han would retreat without any warning. She was a step late in reacting.

Just at this time, something suddenly happened!
