Shi Feiyang was deeply trapped in that bizarre array, surrounded by smoke, the silhouettes of the enemies flickered in and out of view, their attacks ceaseless as a storm.

Yet, he stood like a towering mountain, undeterred and completely unflustered within.

He gripped the Celestial Frost Blade tightly, dancing rapidly to protect himself, his gaze as sharp as the keenest hawk in the cold night, calmly and attentively observing every slight change in the array. In this dark and chaotic dire strait, his eyes shone bright, akin to the brightest star in the night sky, emitting a reassuring glow of wisdom. In a fleeting moment, Shi Feiyang relied on his extraordinary insight to keenly capture the flaw within the array—its core.

He knew deeply that this was the key to breaking the array.

At once, he deployed the exquisite Lightweight Technique "Deep Concealment of Body and Name". His form seemed ghostly, swiftly traversing through the gaps between the heavy attacks of the enemies without hindrance. Each move was precise to an extreme degree, cleverly evading wave after wave of fierce assaults, like a wisp of smoke, untraceable. His posture was light yet carried an unstoppable momentum, speeding toward the core of the array.

During the arduous process of approaching the core, Shi Feiyang activated the Bright Jade Technique, with True Qi inside him roaring and surging like a raging river through his meridians.

In an instant, a faint halo surrounded him, akin to a tangible shield, emitting a soft yet powerful glow.

Within the halo, runes flickered, these mysterious runes seeming like ancient and powerful spells, carrying infinite force fluctuations, showcasing the mystery and might of the Bright Jade Technique.

Relying on this force, Shi Feiyang warded off the interference from the enemies, steadily closing in on the core.

Upon reaching the core, Shi Feiyang swung his blade with his right hand, while his left hand decisively unleashed the "Five Thunders Extremity Transformation Hand". From his palm, thunder force violently erupted, the crackling sound of lightning unabating as countless silver dragons seemed to swirl within his grasp.

These powerful thunder forces carried an atmosphere of annihilation, instantly sweeping toward the Japanese invaders at the core.

The invaders under the impact of the thunder force felt their power dissipating rapidly like floodwaters breaching a dam, being decomposed and destroyed.

In a moment, the originally dazzling light of the array suddenly vanished, the entire array instantly failed, turning into nothingness.

Kanda Naisa, the host of the array, witnessing its collapse, felt his power retreating like a tide, his whole body collapsing onto the ground like mud, his face filled with terror and despair.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang glared angrily, the fire in his eyes threatening to scorch Kanda Naisa.

He suddenly kicked fiercely at Kanda Naisa, the kick embodying endless fury and power.

Kanda Naisa flew out like a kite with a broken string, drawing an arc in the air, heavily crashing onto a hard rock.

Only a few muffled sounds of "crack" were heard as Kanda Naisa's body under the strong impact shattered completely, dying without a whole corpse, a scene too horrible to endure, sending chills down one's spine.

Shi Feiyang pursed his lips and let out a whistle, the whistle loud and passionate, akin to the cries of dragons and tigers, echoing in the valley for a long time.

A few horses that had bravely fled from the gunfire earlier, upon hearing their master's familiar yet powerful call, seemed anthropomorphic, turning back one by one. They galloped with their four hooves, kicking up clouds of dust, quickly approaching Shi Feiyang and his people.

The heroes seeing this, swiftly mounted the horses, their movements clean and neat.

They held onto the reins tightly, whipping the horses to gallop, the steeds neighed, rushing in the direction of Shanhai Pass.

The sound of hooves like thunder echoed in this vast world.

Upon reaching Shanhai Pass, the group took out the waist tokens of the Jinyi Guards.

The soldiers guarding the city, seeing the "Jinyi Guards", a flicker of awe appeared in their eyes, not daring to show any neglect. They quickly saluted, letting them pass immediately.

Shi Feiyang's group smoothly entered Shanhai Pass, staying at the "Snow Origin" inn within the Pass city.

At this moment, though they had temporarily escaped danger, both physically and mentally exhausted, intending to rest here briefly before continuing their journey to Liaodong.

Outside Shanhai Pass under the night sky, the ferocious wind roared like a beast unleashed from its cage, whistling wantonly.

It wildly stirred up a turmoil of flying sand and stones, the world chaotic.

The sound of the wind echoed in the passes, emitting harsh and shrill roars, not only blowing trees to and fro, breaking branches, but even the solid ground seemed to tremble slightly under its tyranny.

At midnight, all was silent, the world in slumber. Only the roar of the fierce wind filled the heavens and the earth, instilling a penetrating sense of loneliness and fear. Yet, amidst this dead silence, eerie music suddenly drifted from the "Snow Origin" inn.

This music like an invisible thread quietly floated in the gaps of the roaring wind, the sound growing closer. The melody seemed to carry some mysterious power, causing a wave of inexplicable unease to rise in one's heart, as if something terrible was creeping toward the inn step by step.

Shi Feiyang, embracing Yang Xue'Er in their room at the inn, was wrapped in a warm and tranquil atmosphere.

However, the sudden eerie music, like a sharp dagger, instantly shattered this tranquility completely.

Shi Feiyang awoke abruptly from his sleep, his eyes opening wide, filled with vigilance and determination, like a sharp leopard sensing the approach of danger. Without hesitation, he swiftly released Yang Xue'Er from his embrace, his movements crisp and efficient. He flipped out of bed, his feet landing steadily on the ground, then quickly grabbed the clothes by the bedside. His hands moved quickly, hastily putting the clothes on.
