Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369: One General Kills a Hundred Soldiers

Listening to the detailed description of the Heaven-Mending Stone, Su Chengyu generally understood that the Tower of Eternal Winter was still composed of formations and prohibitions.

However, due to its unique nature, it was almost impossible for purely Nether Clan members or solely cultivators to find its vulnerabilities.

Only someone profoundly knowledgeable about both Nether Technique and cultivator methods could possibly find a gap near the Tower of Eternal Winter to infiltrate.

Clearly, You Ming was one of the few people in the world who could achieve this.

"I am confident in opening the gap, but once we enter, it will definitely attract the attention of the guards here. Then it will be up to you."

You Ming instructed Su Chengyu once again.

"I understand, I won’t confront these people directly; I am only here to help you distract them."

While Su Chengyu could handle these ordinary guards, if the situation escalated, and the true guardian of the Tower of Eternal Winter appeared, neither Su Chengyu nor You Ming would stand a chance against them.

This important location, the Bei Luo Royal Family would definitely have real experts stationed here.

According to their previous estimates, the real tower keeper inside the Tower of Eternal Winter was at least at the Peak of the Hollow Void, or even at the level of an Earth Immortal wouldn’t be surprising.

Thus, their infiltration of the Tower of Eternal Winter had to be done secretly, completely unnoticed by the tower keeper.

As for what to do after entering, such as releasing the Nether Clan Red-robed High Priest, that was You Ming’s task; even Su Chengyu didn’t know exactly how she planned to do it.

But one thing Su Chengyu was certain about was that only You Ming could handle this task. Even Mo Ningchen, the leader of this mission, could not replace You Ming’s role.

"Get ready, I’m going to open the prohibition now."

With You Ming’s final words, the technique in her hand completed, and in front of her, the prohibition immediately opened a nearly imperceptible crack.

At the moment the crack opened, dozens of sharp Divine Senses immediately surged towards their location.

You Ming instantly concealed her aura as much as possible to hide her presence, while Su Chengyu leaped into the prohibition, moving unabashedly within it.

Su Chengyu’s conspicuous behavior immediately drew the pursuit of those dozens of Divine Senses. Not daring to delay, Su Chengyu rapidly climbed up the external surface of the Tower of Eternal Winter, with the Divine Senses tightly locked on him. Within just a few seconds, Su Chengyu felt figures approaching him.

Bang!

A powerful War Qi struck from behind Su Chengyu, landing on his inevitable path and forcing him to stop and shift direction to the right.

But this momentary hesitation allowed the relentless guard of the Tower of Eternal Winter to appear in front of Su Chengyu.

"Who dares to trespass forbidden grounds!"

The questioning was in Bei Luo’s language, luckily, Su Chengyu had crammed some Bei Luo language before coming to the Bei Luo Empire, so he could understand what was being said.

His gaze swept over the newcomer, recognizing the person’s strength Su Chengyu had no intention of engaging, instead, his speed surged again, continuing to climb the external walls of the Tower of Eternal Winter.

"If you do not stop now, we will not be polite."

The warning from behind sounded again, but Su Chengyu just sneered in response: "Were you ever polite before?"

He turned and swung his sword, sending a meteor hammer flying back to its owner with precision, knocking down the Tower of Eternal Winter guard.

Before Su Chengyu could catch his breath, a robust voice suddenly rang out.

"All units on command! Fire at will!"

Clang!

Numerous crossbow bolts suddenly appeared above the windows of the Tower of Eternal Winter. These hidden crossbowmen almost simultaneously locked onto Su Chengyu, with hundreds of bolts streaking through the air towards him as the words fell.

As he saw the speeding crossbow bolts, Su Chengyu furrowed his brows because he could clearly see that these bolts were smeared with Phantom Yin Poison!

This method targeted at cultivators was obviously not a standard defensive measure for the Tower of Eternal Winter; it was clearly a trap specifically set for them after their arrival by the Lord of Eternal Winter City.

"Now, surrender while you still can. Once you fall into our hands, you... more precisely, you all will have to pay a heavier price."

That robust voice rang again beside Su Chengyu’s ear, the statements were veiled, but the meaning was crystal clear.

Once Su Chengyu fell into their hands, and it was confirmed that he was sent by Xia Country, the nature of this matter would escalate to an international issue.

After all, the two nations were allies; Xia Country, caught in a weak position, would undoubtedly have to pay a not insignificant price to smooth things over.

"Not falling into your hands solves the problem, doesn’t it?"

However, Su Chengyu, who had long been mentally prepared, was unlikely to retreat so easily; he knew that retreating now would likely expose You Ming, who had secretly infiltrated, to their line of sight, and that would truly be all his plans ruined.

Boom!

Heavenly Thunder struck from the sky, directly destroying countless crossbow bolts. Although the coverage area of the crossbow bolts was vast, Su Chengyu only needed to deal with those possibly nearing him to carve out a path forward for himself.

"Prepare for the second volley, ready!"

The calm voice rose again, however, just as it was about to give the order, the Dragon Slayer Sword suddenly appeared behind him, instantly resting on the officer’s neck!

"Speak again, and you will be the next to die."

Su Chengyu’s transmitted voice rang next to the officer’s ear.

The officer was inwardly shocked, clearly not expecting Su Chengyu to locate him so rapidly hidden inside the Tower of Eternal Winter, however, seeing the longsword pressed against his chest, there was not a hint of hesitation in the officer’s eyes.

"Fire!"

Whoosh!

Crossbow bolts once again attacked towards Su Chengyu, the opponent’s decisiveness causing Su Chengyu to slightly frown as he found it quite troublesome.

Killing the officer was not difficult, but he understood that once this average-strength officer died by his hand, someone stronger would definitely replace him on the battlefield, and on ever increasing levels, Su Chengyu would find himself more and more in a passive situation.

And although blocking these bolts did indeed not greatly exhaust Su Chengyu, continuously facing them would eventually completely drain his mana.

"Checkmate."

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, a middle-aged man wearing a monocle moved his piece into the prohibited zone on the chessboard in front of Mo Ningchen, instantly setting up a checkmate against Mo Ningchen’s king.

Mo Ningchen looked at this scene and resignedly said, "Indeed, the City Lord has an extraordinary level of skill in chess; this game, I admit defeat."

The Lord of Eternal Winter City smiled and said, "Losing in chess is not scary, what’s scary is losing everything."

Mo Ningchen listened to his words and responded with a noncommittal smile, "On the chessboard, it is indeed possible for a soldier to kill the king, but City Lord, do you think such a scenario is likely to happen in reality?"

Mo Ningchen slowly raised his hand, moved the piece representing the general on the chessboard, and after a gentle shake, all the soldiers on the chessboard instantly fell to the ground.

"One general defeats a hundred soldiers."
