Zhan Tiancheng just became alert and hurriedly continued to rush forward, only to see him fall hard on the ice. He Qizhou raised his dagger with all his strength and cut into the ice in front of him...
He Qizhou, who fell heavily on the ice, looked at the rapidly cracking ice, and wanted to roll north to escape from this dangerous area, but Zhan Tiancheng flew over and gave him no choice. The opponent's speed was definitely faster than his own.
He wanted to leave the ice crevice faster, so he could only rely on chipping the ice to resolve the crisis. Fortunately, he was very close to the north wall of the ice crevice and could reach it with his hand, and the opponent was in the center of the ice crevice at this time!
The ice surface, which was only a few inches thick at first, was hit hard by the falling He Qizhou. Two cracks already extended rapidly in the east-west direction. After He Qizhou cut it without thinking, the thin ice surface could no longer be broken.
Bearing the weight of two people, it collapsed in an instant.
Zhan Tiancheng's feet were in the air and he had nowhere to rely on. Even with his high light skills, he could not escape the fate of falling straight. He saw He Qizhou, who was seven or eight feet away, fell more than ten feet and used the power of his dagger to insert himself into the ice.
He would stop his falling, calm down in his heart, and hit He Qizhou with both palms from the air with all his strength!
He Qizhou, who was just thankful to have stopped falling, heard the wind coming from behind him. He knew that due to his current injury, he was unable to deal with this palm. He hurriedly pulled out the dagger that had been embedded in the ice wall, and continued to fall to avoid the opponent's death.
The force of the palm exploded at this critical moment, and during the fall, the ice cubes shattered by the force of the palm fell down like a waterfall.
He Qizhou fell all the way under the weight of those heavy ice blocks. He made two consecutive shots with his dagger, but failed to penetrate the ice wall. Seeing that he was about to fall into the inward-sloping ice wall again, He Qizhou let out a fierce blow, shouted loudly, and fought with all his strength.
He waved his arms with all his strength and was finally firmly nailed to the ice wall. When he looked up, he saw that he was already forty feet away from the ice above. Zhan Tiancheng, who looked similar to himself, was stabbing into the opposite ice wall with one hand.
On the short halberd, it was just that the position was at least ten feet higher than him! Zhan Tiancheng must have used the rebound force after a palm strike, and then used the short halberd to drive into the ice wall to stop the fall.
After a while, the sound of a series of ice cubes falling into the water came from below. The bottom of the deep ice crevice was at least hundreds of feet deep! It seemed that the thin layer of ice above was actually the only ice left after the melt below.
Meet!
After exhausting all his strength, He Qizhou changed his left hand to hang on the dagger. He saw that Zhan Tiancheng had already climbed up with difficulty. Since he only had a short halberd left, the climb was not easy. He hung it on the halberd in one hand and used a halberd in the other.
The silver ingot gently hit the ice surface above. The ice surface was extremely solid, and it took a long time to create a small pit that could be dug with fingers.
Zhan Tiancheng hooked the small hole with one hand, pulled out the halberd with the other hand, and hooked the tip of the halberd's branch onto the ice wall, just like when he climbed to the top of the snow, but now there was only one halberd left.
The wall is also more vertical, and the speed is many times slower. If a stick of incense passes by, it only climbs five or six feet.
In He Qizhou's eyes, the opponent was already five or six feet closer to the ice! Whoever climbed onto the ice first would be able to control the opponent's life or death! Therefore, He Qizhou, who had adjusted the breath of a stick of incense, could no longer hold back.
Gathering up his true power, he used the deep swirling technique to absorb the ice wall, pulled out the dagger with his left hand, and then chiseled upward.
After only going up about three feet, the zhenqi accumulated by a stick of incense was gone, and he could no longer go up one point. Zhan Tiancheng went up about another ten feet. He might have been tired, so he stopped to rest. When he turned around, he saw He Qizhou standing there.
Panting on the ice wall more than ten feet below, he couldn't help laughing and cursing:
"You brat, I almost fell into your trap! I'll teach you a trick, slowly slide down to the bottom, maybe next spring you will come out of the mountains with the melting water!"
He Qizhou was no longer greedy for power, knowing that if he didn't restore his true power, he would never be able to get ahead of the opponent. Instead, he calmed down and ignored Zhan Tiancheng. He didn't even bother to look up, and just quietly used Hua Zhen Gong.
Let the true energy gradually gather like a trickle, and the Dantian is gradually filled with the true energy from the sea of qi. Fortunately, I have been climbing waterfalls since I was a child. Even if I hang this strong left arm for an hour, there is no problem.
After a while, He Qizhou felt that he had recovered two of his powers, and he should have no problem climbing up the ice wall in one breath.
After exhaling a long breath, he looked up and saw that Zhan Tiancheng above was probably less than ten feet away from the entrance of the cave! He Qizhou sucked the ice wall with one hand, inserted the dagger into his boot with the other hand, and began to climb up quickly, with his true energy.
Guaranteed, the speed is far faster than Zhan Tiancheng, who is already a little exhausted, and the distance between the two is quickly closing!
More than half an hour passed. Although the sky was shining not far above his head, Zhan Tiancheng rested more and more frequently. The silver ingot in his hand was no longer in shape. His fingers were trembling. Every time he paused, he would always look back.
Looking at He Qizhou getting smaller and smaller. At first, he thought that the other party could only hang like this because of his injury and lack of strength. But after half an hour, the other party was still hanging motionless as if he was dead. Zhan Tiancheng felt that something was wrong.
, so I always think about going up there as soon as possible.
The silver ingot is far less hard than iron, and it takes a long time to make a small hole. I don't dare to hit it too hard, for fear that it will crack the ice where the iron halberd is hooked. This is extremely energy-consuming, so I didn't pick it up first.
The fallen iron halberd really made Zhan Tiancheng regretful!
Holding the iron halberd with both hands alternately, and adjusting his breathing, Zhan Tiancheng climbed up another ten feet, and stopped to rest again. The top was only about five feet away. Zhan Tiancheng relaxed a little and looked down habitually.
, and then he almost dropped the iron halberd in shock! At some point, the opponent had started to crawl. He climbed up ten feet, and the opponent climbed up almost ten feet! And he didn't use the dagger, just relying on his hands.
Climb up incredibly!
Zhan Tiancheng didn't dare to rest. He didn't care about cracking the ice and slammed the fifty-two silver ingots that had no edges and corners against the ice wall. The ice shards immediately flew out like snowflakes. As long as he smashed the ingot with two fingers, he could dig it out.
Once he reached the depth, he quickly struck upwards with the iron halberd with his other hand, and his speed suddenly more than doubled.
Seeing that Zhan Tiancheng had accelerated, He Qizhou tried his best to climb up, twenty feet, fifteen feet, ten feet, eight feet... The distance between the two was getting closer and closer!
Zhan Tiancheng, who stopped to pant, also saw that there was still less than three feet above him, but the opponent had already caught up to less than eight feet! In desperation, he ignored the fact that the five fingers of his left hand had no feeling, stopped breathing, and started to strike again.
On the ice surface, I switched my right hand to dig into the ice pit, but this time the cut was too shallow. When I pulled out the iron halberd, instead of taking a step up, it fell down three feet. The fall was not fast enough, but the fall was even worse.
He Qizhou was not willing to let go of such an opportunity and continued to climb up. Zhan Tiancheng was shocked. He had consumed too much, and his palm wind could not affect the other side two feet away, but the opponent had already surpassed him.
, is quickly crawling towards the ice!
In shock, and not knowing where the strength came from, he slammed the silver ingot firmly into the ice wall above his head with the palm of his right hand, leaving only half an inch exposed. Then he picked up the exposed silver ingot and drove the tip of the iron halberd to death.
Insert it into the ice wall one foot above, then hang both hands on the iron halberd and pull it hard, turn over and stand on the bladeless side of the iron halberd, then push hard and jump to the ice surface about two feet above!
The iron halberd couldn't bear the force, and after this kick, it came off the ice wall and fell straight down. However, Zhan Tiancheng, who had not fully utilized the force, still jumped up more than ten feet with his deep internal strength, and finally touched the ice with one hand.
Just as he was about to put his other hand up and jump out of the ice crevice, when he looked up, he saw He Qizhou falling from the sky and kicked hard on the ice cliff he was holding on to. With this kick, a large piece of ice fell off the ice wall!
Zhan Tiancheng, who had no other way to draw on, waved his hands desperately, trying to grab something, but how could he grasp the smooth ice wall with his fingers?
He Qizhou, who had just jumped over the two-foot-wide ice gap and came up one step ahead of Zhan Tiancheng, after finishing his kick, looked at Zhan Tiancheng who was falling continuously, fearing that the opponent could still come back to life. He did not feel relieved until the figure became smaller and smaller, and he could no longer be seen.
Come.
Perhaps because he knew there was no way to survive, Zhan Tiancheng's heart-rending screams suddenly came from the depths of the ice crevice. The screams stopped abruptly until a slight sound of falling into the water was heard. He Qizhou was exhausted.
Only then did I feel pain all over my body, and my body was alternating between hot and cold. I hurriedly swallowed a snake gallbladder pill with a small piece of "Pig's Head Grass" leaf, then bandaged various wounds, and then adjusted my breathing on the spot. Before I knew it, it was dusk again.
…
Xu Muxue, wrapped in thick animal skins and leaning against the entrance of the cave, felt as cold as the frost on this snowy mountain in the autumn evening. He waited from afternoon to dusk, from dusk to dark. Now it was only an hour before dawn.
He Qizhou still hasn't come back. When he left, he confidently said that he would be back as early as the afternoon, but now...
The snow dragon horse's neighing broke Xiaoxue's worries. The snow dragon horse, hiding in the mountain shelter, ran happily down the hillside. A figure covered in blood walked out of the woods with difficulty, with a smile on his face...
"It seems that we have to stay in this valley for a while longer." After waking up, He Qizhou felt like he was falling apart. He was seriously injured yesterday because he was afraid of Xiaoxue and just adjusted his breath a little.
After setting off, I didn't know how I crossed the glacier, walked down the snow-capped mountains and walked through the thirty miles of dense forest. When I saw Xu Mu waiting beside me, I could only say apologetically.
"Fool, now that we have found the antidote, what's the harm in staying here for another year and a half?" Xiaoxue's chicken-foot-shaped hand caressed He Qizhou's face and replied sympathetically, "What happened yesterday?".
"It's just some bruises. We can leave after ten and a half days of rest. If we don't leave, we will starve to death in this valley." He Qizhou said with a slight smile, and then told Xiaoxue what happened to Zhan Tiancheng.
