Seeing Fire Cloud Ancestor’s stance of mutual destruction, Jian Hee’s expression darkened, and he let out a disdainful snort.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

After speaking, Jian Hee raised his sword into the air, stirring up the winds and clouds. The violent Sword Intent spun out an arc of lightning, slashing towards Fire Cloud Ancestor.

"Clang!"

The blade and sword collided in midair, immediately bursting into countless sparks, illuminating the faces of both combatants in flickering brightness and darkness.

In this moment of light and shadow, a sinister smile of achieving a conspiracy suddenly appeared in Jian Hee’s shadowy eyes.

Fire Cloud Ancestor was shocked at the sight, and thought to himself that things were not good.

But before he could react, Jian Hee’s arm suddenly twitched, and the sword in his hand swung in an impossible arc, bypassing Fire Cloud Ancestor’s vigorous blade, slashing towards his shoulder.

The distance between both sides was too close, and Jian Hee’s sword strike was fast and at a cunning angle, catching Fire Cloud Ancestor off guard, and slicing cleanly through his entire arm.

"Thud!"

In an instant, blood poured like a waterfall!

Seeing his arm severed, Fire Cloud Ancestor endured the excruciating pain from the wound, letting out a roar of anger as he swapped blades midair and slashed diagonally towards Jian Hee.

However, before Fire Cloud Ancestor’s blade could descend, Jian Hee’s figure had already floated away like a ghost, narrowly dodging this fatal strike.

Star Pavilion Disciples saw Fire Cloud Ancestor’s arm being severed and surrounded him.

"Squad Leader!"

"Squad Leader!"

...

Jian Hee toyed with the still bleeding sword in his hand, smiling sinisterly.

"Fire Cloud Ancestor, you’re no match for me, you might as well surrender. If I’m feeling generous, maybe I’ll let you die quickly!"

Fire Cloud Ancestor escaped from his subordinate’s assistance, his entire person glaring furiously like a trapped beast.

"Jian Hee, don’t be so arrogant. When my master returns, he’ll ensure your entire family is annihilated!"

Fire Cloud Ancestor’s master was none other than Li Chen.

At the mention of Li Chen’s name, Jian Hee’s heart was instantly ablaze with a wildfire of hatred.

Immediately, his expression turned fierce, and he roared hysterically: "Since you’re insistent on dying, I’ll fulfill your wish!"

Before the murderous intent had even landed, the sword in Jian Hee’s hand already flickered like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, aiming to stab at Fire Cloud Ancestor’s vulnerable Life Gate.

Fire Cloud Ancestor knew full well he was no match for Jian Hee, and it was highly likely he’d meet his end here today.

In that instant, he seemed to see the Death God revealing a cruel smile.

However, just as Fire Cloud Ancestor was ready to meet the Death God, a frost suddenly condensed in the void.

"Frost Ice Slash!"

Jian Hee, who was about to kill Fire Cloud Ancestor, saw a frost Sword Intent slashing towards him, and was taken aback.

He immediately gave up on the idea of killing Fire Cloud Ancestor and swung his sword to face the newcomer.

"Clang!"

The two swords collided, sparks flying!

"Stomp stomp stomp!"

"Stomp stomp stomp!"

...

After this clash, both sides simultaneously retreated.

Jian Hee fell back dozens of steps before barely managing to stabilize himself.

He looked up to see the figure of the newcomer, and his expression darkened.

"Ximen Qingxue?"

Indeed, the newcomer was Ximen Qingxue!

Lian Hongshang was in danger, and Ximen Qingxue naturally wouldn’t stand by idly.

Upon learning of the situation, she immediately led Dragon Ascending Valley’s elite disciples to provide support.

Little did she expect to encounter Jian Hee, the Alliance Hierarch of the True Immortal Alliance, bringing people to encircle and kill Fire Cloud Ancestor and other Star Pavilion Disciples here.

Seeing Ximen Qingxue arrive, Fire Cloud Ancestor and others couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

They all knew Ximen Qingxue was Pavilion Master Li Chen’s woman.

Moreover, over the years, the relationship between Dragon Ascending Valley and Star Pavilion was very close, with the two parties having long formed a defense alliance.

Not only with Dragon Ascending Valley, but also with Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, Moon God Palace, and Penglai Pavilion, they had formed alliance agreements.

Of course, these were mainly thanks to Pavilion Master Li Chen’s efforts.

Ximen Qingxue and Fire Cloud Ancestor didn’t have much of a personal relationship, but she knew that Fire Cloud Ancestor was Li Chen’s noted disciple.

In some sense, she was Fire Cloud Ancestor’s teacher’s wife!

One must consider the owner before beating a dog, let alone a disciple!

Ximen Qingxue’s gaze was as icy as frost, directly forcing towards Jian Hee.

Jian Hee met Ximen Qingxue’s gaze defiantly, smiling sinisterly: "As rumored, Fairy Ximen has unparalleled beauty, and seeing you today, your reputation indeed precedes you!"

Ximen Qingxue wasted no words with Jian Hee, simply responding coldly, "Knowing it’s me, why haven’t you quickly kneeled before your auntie yet?"

Upon hearing Ximen Qingxue immediately demand he kneel, Jian Hee’s expression darkened instantly, his mouth twitching furiously.

"Ximen Qingxue, it seems today you’re choosing punishment over persuasion!"

Ximen Qingxue scoffed coldly, responding, "Heh, this auntie drinks all wines, except yours!"

"Watch the sword!"

The crisp sound hadn’t even dropped from mid-air when Ximen Qingxue swung three ice flowers, aligned in a line, slicing towards Jian Hee.

Jian Hee saw Ximen Qingxue attack without a word and quickly raised his sword, spinning out an arc of light shield to guard himself.

"Clang!"

"Boom crackle!"

...

Within moments, Jian Hee and Ximen Qingxue had already exchanged hundreds of Sword Intents, locked in a fierce battle, fiercely contested.

In a prolonged fight, Ximen Qingxue suddenly spit out the Ice Soul Spirit Pearl from her mouth.

The Ice Soul Spirit Pearl grew in the wind, blowing thousands of snowflakes, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped by dozens of degrees.

The originally lush and crystal-clear vegetation immediately donned a layer of white frost. The surging Dragon River also instantly froze over.

Everything transformed into an icy world, clad in silver and white, spectacularly impressive.

This was Ximen Qingxue’s signature skill, Ice Seal Miles!

Jian Hee, seeing Ximen Qingxue use her unique skill, dared not underestimate her any longer.

He swung the sword to slash down thousands of Sword Shadows, cutting down the countless snowflakes.

"Roar!"

Just then, a dragon’s roar suddenly erupted from the distant Dragon River, breaking through the ice.

Immediately, a Jiao Long, entirely snow-white and covered in Scale Armor, came clawing and roaring.

Ximen Qingxue saw the Jiao Long charging and joyfully shouted.

"Bingbing, bite it!"

Jian Hee’s heart panicked, and he swiftly swung his sword to fend off the Ice Dragon’s attack temporarily.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, he immediately made a feint stroke, repelling the Ice Dragon’s renewed attack.

"We retreat!"

Before the words had landed, Jian Hee turned ghostly, merging into the dense forest.

The True Immortal Alliance disciples saw the situation and, exchanging glances, quickly followed suit.

Star Pavilion and Dragon Ascending Valley disciples saw True Immortal Alliance retreat and planned to pursue.

However, Ximen Qingxue stopped them.

"Don’t chase desperate foes, Sister Hongshang is waiting for us, don’t waste time here, hurry and cross Dragon River!"
