Chapter 354: Who Is the Heavenly Snow?

Except for the members of the Flower Sect and the like, the others looked up at the huge violet‑colored totem seal blooming in the sky and all showed expressions of shock.

The violet totem seal immediately suppressed the Mountain King's labyrinth displacement array, preventing it from activating.

Then, the Grand Elder of the Flower Sect attacked toward the Mountain King!

The others also reacted.

The Second Elder and the Seventh Elder of the Heaven One Sect both struck at the Mountain King.

Three practitioners of the Spirit Transformation Realm jointly surrounded the Mountain King, completely breaking the labyrinth displacement array he had cast!

During the battle, they discovered that the Mountain King's strength was not as formidable as rumored; gradually they realized that he had already been gravely wounded, his power greatly diminished.

This is an excellent opportunity!

The gold‑eyed little snow beast fought one against three; its old wound reopened, bleeding fresh blood that dripped onto the ground.

The Fifth‑tier Peak Snow Beast recovered its senses and swiftly joined the fight.

Other snow beasts continued to swarm in.

The Mountain King does not fall; they do not retreat.

This is the snow beasts' belief.

The two sides battled for nearly half an hour, with casualties on both sides.

The number of snow beasts remained enormous.

The Mountain King and the Fifth‑tier Peak Snow Beast possessed strong willpower; despite being riddled with wounds and in excruciating pain, they did not fall.

In contrast, the young disciples of the Flower Sect and the Heaven One Sect had exhausted most of their spiritual energy and were already feeling fatigue and weakness.

Nie Bai and Bian Chen fought the other snow beasts.

Lu Xiangxiang stood by Hong Zhengqing, letting him bleed while feeding him the pills she had hidden.

Hua Chengyan kept his eyes on his own sect's disciples the whole time; should they face a life‑threatening danger, he would intervene to help. At other times, he merely observed.

Ying Wuji and Cang Li stayed by Yuan Yao's side the whole time.

They only defended, not attacked.

Yuan Yao continued using her spiritual power and awareness to search for the array eye of the sealing barrier.

Boom—

Accompanied by a deafening blast, the ground trembled violently, and immediately a indescribably powerful aura surged from not far away, filling hearts with dread.

The crowd followed the sound and saw the Mountain King suddenly open his massive blood‑filled maw, spitting out a huge energy sphere!

The sphere shone like a brilliant sun, bearing world‑shattering might, hurtling toward the Grand Elder of the Flower Sect, the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder of the Heaven One Sect!

The three elders' expressions changed dramatically; they swiftly unleashed their unique supreme techniques, fighting with all their might!

The forces of both sides collided abruptly, producing a series of explosions.

The surrounding disciples and snow beasts were knocked away by the aftershocks, flailing helplessly.

At the same time, the surrounding snow mountains could not bear the massive impact, collapsing with a roar into countless shards that sprayed everywhere, like a sudden avalanche!

Boom—boom—boom!

Ying Wuji and Cang Li stood in front of Yuan Yao, promptly raising a defensive barrier.

The Mountain King and the three elders were all knocked back dozens of steps.

In an instant, all four were wounded!

The Mountain King spewed a torrent of blood from his mouth, his body swaying as if about to collapse, his golden eyes dimming slightly.

It raised its head and let out a long roar.

The sound was mournful.

It ordered all the snow beasts to retreat.

And it would exhaust its final strength to kill these humans!

It would risk death to guard the treasure its master left behind.

The snow beasts also raised their heads and wailed mournfully.

For a moment, beast roars rang continuously.

"Kill the Mountain King!" Second Elder Wang Yangbo's face turned ashen as he trembled, hand on his chest, shouting angrily.

As soon as the words fell, the Mountain King darted forward; with a single palm he had previously hurled the gravely wounded Fifth‑tier Peak Snow Beast away, letting the other snow beasts carry it off.

"Wang—"

The Fifth‑tier Peak Snow Beast cried out.

The Mountain King did not look back; he began to burn his essence blood, causing his power to surge dramatically.

The terrifying force pressed down instantly, overwhelming everything, causing the young disciples present to feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, blood rushing backward, forcing them to kneel and vomit blood repeatedly.

"Not good!" Grand Elder of the Flower Sect acted immediately.

Seeing this, Bian Chen frowned slightly and decided to join the three elders in confronting the Mountain King.

Hua Chengyan could no longer stand by; he quickly formed a seal and charged toward the Mountain King!

The snow beasts began to withdraw, while their Mountain King burned his life for a final battle!

After the Mountain King's power surged, they together could not match him at all.

"Ying, fellow Daoist." Hua Chengyan's expression grew solemn as he glanced at Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji turned his head to Cang Li and said, "Guard Yuan Yao."

Having spoken, he drew his sword and flashed into the fray.

And at this moment—

Yuan Yao's spiritual power and awareness had already located the array eye of the sealing barrier.

As she was about to shatter the sealing barrier in one strike, her awareness trembled slightly.

A young male voice echoed into her sea of consciousness.

"He who breaks my seal is also a fated person."

"May you treat Heaven Snow kindly."

"Who are you?" Yuan Yao felt a sudden shock in her heart.

"Crossing Willow." The lingering thought of the other seemed to sense something, and his voice became urgent: "Save Heaven Snow!"

"Who is Heaven Snow?"

"Mountain King."

Yuan Yao's spiritual energy and consciousness were snapped back, and she suddenly opened her eyes. Looking closely, she saw the gold‑eyed Little Snow Beast locked in fierce battle with Youngest Senior Brother and his companions.

The gold‑eyed Little Snow Beast then snapped off the arm of the Second Elder of the Heaven One Sect in one bite; it was now filled with ferocity, its eyes gradually bloodshot.

The young male voice sounded again: "If the Mountain King dies, another seal barrier formed by the Mountain King will instantly explode, and all treasures will cease to exist."

Yuan Yao heard this and furrowed her brows.

She said, "Can't you tell them?"

"Cannot. Because my lingering consciousness was only triggered by you."

Yuan Yao's mouth twitched slightly.

"What is your relationship with the Mountain King?"

"I am its master. The former... master."

At the same time—

A white silhouette suddenly appeared, and he slashed at the Mountain King with a sword.

The Mountain King was cut and sent flying onto the ground, rolling several circles.

It quickly stood up, and on closer look, it was the Ghost‑faced Youth who had grievously injured it that day.

Flower Chengyan, Ying Wuji, Bian Chen and the others, upon seeing the Ghost‑faced Youth appear, instantly showed a guarded expression.

Because the Ghost‑faced Youth exuded a strong aura of power.

"Who are you?!" shouted the Seventh Elder of the Heaven One Sect.

And Lu Xiangxiang's face changed instantly the moment she saw the Ghost‑faced Youth, her eyes filled with fear and apprehension.

At this moment, Cang Li noticed Yuan Yao "awakening", and he was about to pull her away, but before he could grasp her hand, she suddenly rushed out.

"Yao Yao!"

The Ghost‑faced Youth said coolly, "The Mountain King's Beast Pill..."

Before he could finish.

"Wait!" Yuan Yao shouted.

The Ghost‑faced Youth was slightly startled, turning his head toward her, and the Mountain King seized the chance to charge fiercely toward the Youth.

She said urgently, "Heaven Snow! Stop! Crossing Willow has something to tell you!"
