It was a vast glacier with snowflakes dancing around in the air and land made entirely of ice.
Ten or more snow wolves could be seen constantly pouncing and attacking a person in the snow.
Armed with sharp claws, coupled with the ability to spew icicles that could even pierce through Golden Immortal Dao Vessels were clear indications of how powerful the pack of wolves were, but did little damage to the ice layers in the surrounding.
Zhao Changkong wielded a long spear with his bare hands and slaughtered the snow wolves one by one.
It didn’t take long before all of them were annihilated.
After a short while, the corpses were nowhere to be seen. What was left were the many Snow Crystals, Dao vessels and other treasures scattered on the ground.
Zhao Changkong, who seemed to be used to such a scene, put away the items and took a look around the place. After sensing around the area for a brief moment and realizing that there weren’t any dangers lurking, he let Luo Heng out.
“It’s so cold.” Luo Heng shivered just as he stood firm.
Zhao Changkong couldn’t help laughing. “This is Ice of Extreme Coldness. The ordinary people wouldn’t be able to withstand the cold air here. How about it? Can you manage?”
“I’m alright.” Luo hang nodded his head, but said embarrassedly, “Brother Zhao, I have always been a burden to you throughout this journey.”
“Haha! It doesn’t affect my battle, so it’s fine.” Zhao Changkong couldn’t help laughing out loud. Immediately after, his smile faded and said, “There’s constantly been news about Brother Jiang coming from the outside world. Do you want to hear about them?”
“What news? Could it be that Brother Jiang has caused some big commotion again?”
“Heh! That’s right. Some time ago, he annihilated the alliance of more than 20 Cosmic experts who wanted revenge on him. Among them were Cai Die of the Zergs, who was already at the pinnacle of the Cosmic Realm. With that battle, Jiang Ming had become famous and was recognized as a person who had broken through to a Supreme Expert. I thought he would be ejected by the Specter Secret Realm but he didn’t. He didn’t settle down either, but instead went on a killing spree, bringing fear to all experts of the other clans.”
“Brother Jiang has made a cultivation breakthrough?” Luo Heng had a shocked look on his face.
“He must’ve made a breakthrough. Otherwise, how could it be possible for him to first end his great battle with Long Jingang in a draw, and later went on a killing spree, killing more than 29 Cosmic experts? If he didn’t make a breakthrough, it would’ve been impossible.”
“Brother Jiang is amazing! Big brother Zhao, how many did Brother Jiang actually kill?”
“According to the news from the outside world, the preliminary statistics stated that Jiang Ming has killed more than 50 Cosmic Experts since he entered this Specter Secret Realm. As for the Sea Star Experts? Who knows how many.”
“Oh fuck!”
“It’s not just you. I had that same reaction! However, there’s also news from the outside world that because Jiang Ming has killed too many, the many Supreme Experts of the various clans have already formed an alliance to block him off outside the Specter Secret Realm. They will be besieging to kill Jiang Ming as soon as he leaves this place.”
“This…”
“Alas! It’s such a pity that Pan Wang, the Supreme Expert of our Human Race is still in the Chaos. He won’t be able to rush back in such a short time. The other two seniors of ours are after all only ordinary Supreme Experts. It would be hard for them to protect Jiang Ming.”
“This…”
Luo Heng was shocked and quickly sent Jiang Ming the news.
Just when Luo Heng was halfway through chatting with Jiang Ming, he noticed a person flying over from a distance. He was Long Jingang.
Right when he noticed him, Long Jingang looked over at his direction as well.
“Haha! To think that I actually stumbled upon the two of you.” As soon as Long Jingang discovered the two, he laughed out loud and was in extreme euphoria. “Jiang Ming slaughtered many experts of my Demon Clan. Hehe! Now that I’ve met the two of you here, I’ll first kill you two and let him taste the pain and know the consequences of being revenged upon.”
He paced over in the void towards the two, one step at a time.
“Although I am no match for you, you may not really be able to kill the both of us.” Zhao Changkong’s spear flicked, and a sharp aura pierced through its tips, bursting out into the surrounding. He stared at Long Jingang with eyes like knives. “Long Jingang, you are still lacking quite a bit when compared to Brother Jiang. He slashed down dozens of Cosmic Experts and among them was Cai Die who is no weaker than you. However, what about you? You are such a coward, not daring to even show yourself.”
“He’s just a wimp.” Luo Heng sneered, “No, he’s worse than a wimp. He’s a bastard.”
“You’re courting death!” Flame of anger could be seen set ablaze in Long Jingang’s eyes. Gloves suddenly materialized on his fists, and even an ax appeared in front of him, as he grabbed ahold of it.
It seemed that he was prepared to go all out and kill them both.
“My younger brother, you’re talking nonsense but telling the truth. Remember to not slap a person on the face. It’s just that his mother was killed by his own father. He then wanted to live his life and reap the benefits from his father to grow up, and then he will kill his father then. That is all.” Zhao Changkong lowered his voice, “This is his deepest secret. Don’t ever bring this up anywhere.”
“Big brother, I will remember!” Luo Heng nodded honestly.
The two of them were really not ordinary trash talkers.
“Damn you two!”
Long Jingang’s flame of anger was burning ferociously. How could he not understand that the two were teasing him, and even deliberately angered him to confuse his mind? It was just that he couldn’t bear it any longer. Nor was there a need for him to do so. This was because he was confident that he could slash down Zhao Changkong.
As for Luo Heng? Long Jingang despised him as something even incomparable to a feeble ant.
Long Jingang raised the ax that was equivalent to a Demi-Sage Dao Vessel. Great destructive power erupted from the ax as though it was trying to destroy the universe. Even though they were in the Specter Secret Ream, the power even caused the power of order here to go into turmoil.
“Do you think I’m afraid?”
Zhao Changkong stood in front of Luo Heng. A defensive shield appeared in front of him as his whole body was emanating with waves of divine luminance, giving off a mighty aura.
Just as he was about to keep Luo Heng back into the palace, a human figure could be seen from the distance rushing over. He couldn’t help from being overjoyed and yelled out, “Brother Jiang! You’re just in time! Haha! Just in time!”
It was Jiang Ming heading in their direction. He didn’t appear right beside Luo Heng, but appeared hundreds of miles away and made his way over.
“Brother Zhao, leave this Long kid to me.” Jiang Ming rushed over to their side in a blink of an eye. He then looked at Luo Heng with a smile and asked, “I wasn’t late, was I?”
“Just in time!” Luo Heng smiled right back, “Now that you’re here, I can rest assured. We’ll have to leave this to you now!”
“Don’t you worry!”
Jiang Ming finally turned around and looked at Long Jingang.
He was all smiles and as relaxed as he could be.
Long Jingang however, looked as though he was confronting a great enemy. He even had the Zhentian Tower, the Supreme Treasure to appear above his head.
“Have you really become one of the Supreme Experts?” Long Jingang couldn’t believe it.
He knew how difficult it was to become one. Even breaking through to the Supreme Realm would require a long time of preparation. The time it took for the breakthrough process itself would be long as well, yet what had this person in front of him achieved? Just how long had it been?
Wasn’t this just pulling on people’s legs?
“Of course! It wasn’t that difficult.” Jiang Ming said with a smile, “If it wasn’t for you forcing me to unveil my Supreme Treasure, which attracted all the factions over and placed me under immense pressure, I’m afraid it would’ve taken me a few years to break through.”
Long Jingang opened his mouth and almost scolded, ‘To hell with your mother.’
Jiang Ming had a breakthrough because of great pressure? Else, it would take him another few more years to break through? Was that even something a human would say?
God damn it! Jiang Ming must be a type of plant. If he was an animal, he would have long submitted.
“I don’t believe it!” Long Jingang licked his lips, and the ax in his hand slashed onwards, “I’m keen to see if you’re really as you said or this is just a huge bluff.”
Boom…
The ax split open the void, severed the shackles of order and opened up the heavens and earth. This swing was of extreme strength. After all, Long Jingang had mustered all of his strength into the swing, bringing its might to the extreme.
Jiang Ming stayed focused on the strike. In response, he pointed his fingers into the void, and a small flicker of luminance could be seen on his fingertips. It was the Return of Infinite Law Finger Technique, which pierced through and blasted the ax into a distance.
