Long Qinying was approaching seventy years old Aevity was considered rare already His luck, however, was not quite as good: the body of his last grandson was placed in front of hi that the chief of the Luoshen tribe would not have a successor

He reached a hand out to close the eyes of his grandson before he stood up and used the sareatsword His hand was covered in wrinkles and its joints were showing, rese a withered branch Only those people who had touched or felt it before knew that it was still very powerful

He walked outdoors froy house This was the coldest season of the year in the Great Snowmountain, such that the breath he exhaled would turn into ice However, he felt dry and hot all over his body, and almost wanted to strip off his clothes and roll in the snow like he did when he was young

Sunlight bounced off the snowy surface and caused hily cold fresh air, he doubted that he could live h the faces of his few renized every one of them, but also remembered their names and even the years which they were born in

Standing sparsely in the snoere two hundred or so people, of which more than half o people who could lift a heavy sword, and only a handful were children

This was the story of the decline of Luoshen Peak, which was the head of the Great Snowrandson was still alive and there were not groups of ene them in, they would nonetheless eventually perish in the desolate and barren valleys, with frozen blood vessels and no descendants to succeed their bloodline

Long Qinying raised his heavy sword high and wanted to say a few sentences to boost the tribe’s morale, but when he saw the expressions of silent perseverance in the eyes of his tribesmen, he knew there was no need to waste his breath The sons of the Great Snowood at words and innately only kne to fight Even if only one of the to be motivated by pleasant words or pro raised his head and e noise which was continuous and increasingly high-pitched

Starting with the able-bodied males and subsequently the women and the elderly, everyonethe saon reverberated across the valleys and lingered ceaselessly

An even more powerful medley of noises was soon heard, and it quickly drowned out the chanting of the people of Luoshen Peak It was made up of the roars of an uncountable nue ar placed his heavy sword down and waved toward the crowd Five children between the ages of six and ten, coirls, walked up to the old chief, each of the as their bodies Their determined expressions were sufficient proof that they were of pure Luoshen blood

Several hundreds of years ago, it was also five people who first entered the Great Snowmountain and established the Luoshen ancestry Their children and grandchildren would fill up every livable valley

“Anyone can die, but not the declared This was an order as well as a wish and a prayer

The roars froroup of swordsmen, whose bodies ithout exception wrapped in hide, slowly approached the peak Placed flat on their shoulders were huge heavy swords which glea, they swooped in to kill the re cast off the fur cape he earing and led the charge toward the enemies Behind him were fifty or so primary swordsmen, while further back were elders who could still lift a heavy sword Though the elders’ swords were already ridden with rust, they longed for the stain of fresh blood all the sahter These short swords had been used to bleed the necks of the last tamed ani holes in the bodies of the present enemies as well

The five children ree toward the front, they were held back by the adults and could only look down from the mountain slope anxiously

The enemy was comprised of three to four hundred swordsmen, every one of theed man of more than forty years old ore a black cloak e and powerful jaw and eyes which, like those of the residents of the Great Snow The heavy sword in his hand seeroups of people halted their footsteps approximately fifty steps away froher terrain

After sothe tribes of the Great Snow to an end As the victor, the chief of Danduo Peak, Long Xiaoshi+, had plenty to say “Lay down your swords, and your women and children under ten years old shall be allowed to live”

“Live on as slaves of Danduo Peak?” Long Qinying preferred to co immediately, but in the Great Snowmountain, there were a few rules which needed to be observed at all tions will only become swordsmen, and never slaves”

“Is that so? Were those ardless of who carried the turned his head back toward his silent tribesmen He did not understand the point of this nonsensical exchange of words Raising his heavy sith both hands, he thereby declared war “Long Qinying of Luoshen Peak seeks battle”

The old man took calroups of swordsorated and the sword he was holding becari strength of Luoshen Peak and spare no one, but instead, he decided to play by the rules so as to prove a point to those people who still doubted that he orthy of being the overlord of the five peaks

He would not enter the battlefield hi hi-year-old swordsain the honor of killing the Luoshen tribe chief to the extent that nothing else mattered to hie and turn hostile at that person To hi was to be unable to finish off a nearly seventy-year-old man within ten strokes

“I am Danduo…”

“Come at me!”

The entire valley see swordsman’s words abruptly ceased, and his face reddened involuntarily Making a low groan, he charged forth with his sword in hand

Long Qinying counted the opponent’s steps, and when the tiht, he took a powerful stride forward and sprang high into the air on his second stride His heavy sword pree swordsman with such brutality that nobody could believe it was being exerted by aswordss sank deeply into the snow in doing so His body was still shaking when the second strike from the old man came swiftly at him He parried once ive up, he gnashed his teeth and held on tightly to his heavy sith both hands

Hot blood was flowing rapidly beneath Long Qinying’s loose skin, and his heart felt like it was bursting out of him

On his third stroke, he cleaved his opponent’s sword and one side of his opponent’s body Red blood rapidly spread all over the white snow, reseht flower in this drab valley

His hot blood cooled down quicker than expected, such that he suddenly had difficulty even lifting up his heavy sword But he could not back down or ad tribesman of Luoshen Peak He had to persist on even if he could only protect theer
