Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Sudden Assault
Outside Soul Severing Valley, although the snow raged wildly and the environment was harsh, ordinary Martial Artists could still endure it.
However, once one entered Soul Severing Valley, the deeper they went, the more terrifying they found the natural might of heaven and earth.
The cold wind was like a knife, whistling sharply as it whistled past one’s body; slightly weaker Martial Artists felt as if their skin was being torn apart, causing bursts of pain, forcing them to consume their Essence Energy to form a Defense Qi Shield for protection.
And the snow swept up by the raging wind, as strong as hidden weapons launched from a Heaven Level Martial Artist’s hands, crashed onto the Martial Artists’ Defense Qi Shields around their bodies, causing intense tremors, giving a feeling that they might collapse at any moment.
Among the ten from Bitao Martial Academy, Fang Bai’s physical body was robust, allowing him to withstand the stormy snow as if it were merely an itch through his boots.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingqing possessed an Innate Water Spirit Root, and was naturally close to the Water Element Qi. The snow here contained a large amount of Water Element Qi, so she also did not fear the wind and snow.
Ge Feng was a Desolate Level Martial Artist with thick True Yuan and great strength, capable of contending with the natural might of this place.
Therefore, of the ten Bitao Martial Academy Disciples who entered Soul Severing Valley, aside from Fang Bai, Liu Qingqing, and Ge Feng, who were not affected by the adverse environment, the other seven Disciples all felt tremendous pressure and had to circulate their True Yuan to resist.
The ten Swiftwind Horses, with their tough skins and strong resistance to cold, were also unafraid of the raging windstorm.
Martial Artists entering Soul Severing Valley would feel as if the inside and outside of the valley were two totally different worlds—the inside was hell, and the outside was paradise.
In Soul Severing Valley, due to the fierce snow obliterating the sky and severely obstructing visibility, even a powerful Desolate Level Martial Artist like Ge Feng could only see clearly within ten meters; anything farther became a blur. He had to rely on the Martial Artists’ unique keen senses to detect any lurking dangers.
The Fiery Sect team walking ahead of them had already disappeared without a trace, and their situation was unknown.
As the guardian of the team, surrounded by nine disciples, Ge Feng dared not be careless for even a moment because he knew that from the moment their team entered Soul Severing Valley, they might have already been targeted by some Spirit Beasts.
Although there were no Spirit Beasts in Soul Severing Valley as powerful as a Desolate Level Martial Artist among humans, there were plenty of Spirit Beasts with hundreds of years of beast age, especially the groups of Snow Leopards and Snow Wolves, which were particularly ferocious. Their overall strength was definitely not weaker than some middle-rank Spirit Beasts, making them the undisputed kings of this Ice Valley.
These Spirit Beasts, usually having white fur, typically lurked between the thick ice and snow on both sides of the valley, very difficult to detect. Once they spotted human Martial Artists passing by, they might launch a sudden attack, catching them completely off guard.
Over the years, most human Martial Artists who perished in the valley were killed by Spirit Beast attacks, with only a minority dying from the natural forces.
Shen Yulin, Huang Miao, and the others felt fortunate that they had already covered more than half of their journey in Soul Severing Valley without encountering any dangers, which was unusually smooth compared to previous experiences.
However, in Ge Feng’s view, such unnatural smoothness was likely a harbinger of demons, making him even more worried, feeling that greater danger could be lurking around them.
"It’s strange, when we walked here before, we encountered Spirit Beast attacks at least a few times, but this time, why haven’t we seen any trace of Spirit Beasts? It’s as if all the Spirit Beasts in Soul Severing Valley suddenly disappeared..."
Shen Yulin also began to feel that something was not right and said with a frown.
Shen Yulin had already represented Bitao Martial Academy in attending the Sect Conference at Purple Flame City for the third time. In the previous two instances, while crossing the Soul Severing Valley, their team had encountered numerous Spirit Beast attacks, engaging in intense battles before they finally managed to pass through the Blizzard Mountain Range.
This time, she had mentally prepared herself for battles with the Spirit Beasts, but unexpectedly, aside from the relentless storm, the Spirit Beasts seemed to have evaporated from the earth, leaving no trace—this situation was extraordinarily abnormal.
"Everyone, don’t let your guard down!"
Ge Feng loudly reminded everyone.
Just then, the wind suddenly grew much more fierce, and the snow became even wilder and denser, significantly reducing visibility.
"Be careful!"
Remaining vigilant, Ge Feng suddenly sensed four strong Martial Artist Auras filled with intense killing intent coming at them from the front, back, left, and right directions simultaneously. Faintly visible were four figures, fast as lightning, closing in on them and instantly surrounding them.
The four Martial Artist Auras came from two Desolate Level Low Rank Martial Artists and two Desolate Level Mid Rank Martial Artists.
The sudden ambush by the four Desolate Level Martial Artists greatly shocked Ge Feng, who internally cursed the bad luck.
Although Ge Feng had advanced to a Desolate Level High Rank Martial Artist, with strength far surpassing any of the opponents and capable of contending against the attacks of all four adversaries if he exerted all his effort, his greatest concern was that if the opponents assigned two Mid Rank Martial Artists to tie him down, the remaining two Low Rank Martial Artists could target the nine other disciples. That would be troublesome.
The two Desolate Level Mid Rank Martial Artists, though not a match for Ge Feng, could still engage him for a while, preoccupying him and preventing him from assisting elsewhere. During this time, the other two Desolate Level Low Rank Martial Artists could easily slaughter all nine disciples of the Bitao Martial Academy who merely possessed Heaven Level Realm cultivation.
What Ge Feng feared most had regrettably occurred.
The four swiftly attacking Desolate Level Martial Artists split up; two Mid Rank Martial Artists lunged at Ge Feng, while the other two Low Rank Martial Artists directly targeted Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing.
"Is their target Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing?"
In an instant, Ge Feng seemed to understand something and couldn’t help but be engulfed in both shock and anger.
To Ge Feng, among the nine accompanying disciples, Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing weren’t the strongest. Yet, they were the primary targets of the attack. It was evident that someone was aware of the Innate Spiritual Root possessed by Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing and feared the threat they might pose in the future, aiming to eliminate them beforehand.
Yet, the Sect powers that had grievances with Bitao Martial Academy were more than just one or two, and it was difficult for Ge Feng to determine the culprit behind this at the moment.
Out of the thousands of disciples in Bitao Martial Academy, only three possessed Innate Spiritual Roots, and Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing were two of them. Moreover, Fang Bai was the most outstanding genius the academy had seen in nearly ten thousand years. If these two were killed here, Ge Feng felt he would be utterly inexcusable.
"Kill!"
With a heart full of rage, Ge Feng let out a thunderous roar, instantly raising his fighting spirit to the apex. He then slashed out with the blade in his hand.
The sky filled with blade shadows, transforming into a net of blades enveloping the True Yuan and sweeping toward the two Desolate Level Mid Rank Martial Artists who had already struck close to him.
