Chapter 3652

On the train station platform, Su Xiao looked at the traitor dozens of meters away, with pedestrians passing between them. Snowflakes drifted down, and combined with the surrounding stone-blue buildings covered in frost and snow, this scene had an inexplicable sense of killing.

Amu stood behind Su Xiao, having already unslung the Dragon Heart Axe on its back, the axe blade making a sharp light sound. Baja landed on Su Xiao's shoulder, its pitch-black eagle eyes showing sharp dark blue, while Xiang Bubu Wang sat crouching beside Su Xiao's legs, baring its sharp teeth.

"Not good, very not good, very, very not good."

The Northern Territory Princess naturally also saw the traitor, or Stone Carver, dozens of meters away. In the Northern Territory Princess's view, if Su Xiao and the Stone Carver fought here, it would have very serious consequences.

The oppression in the air became stronger and stronger, to the extent that even the snowflakes stood still. Just at this tense moment, a neat and dense sound of armor collision came. It was a burly man wearing dark gold battle armor, leading a group of Winter City Imperial Guards rushing over. The burly man in the lead was the Northern Territory General.

At this moment, the Northern Territory General's pace inevitably carried a bit of haste. Previously, he planned to welcome this "distinguished guest" from the Alliance outside the station, not on the platform, to avoid appearing aggressive. But the problem was that his mentor and this distinguished guest met here, and what was even more fatal was that his mentor and this distinguished guest seemed to have old grudges. Judging from the faint aura, the sense of seeing enemies meeting was too strong.

The Northern Territory General would naturally choose to stand on his mentor's side, but the point now was not which side he stood on. The Northern Territory General had some guesses about his mentor's strength. He knew his mentor was very strong, but to what extent, he really hadn't seen it, because in this world, there was no opponent for his mentor.

Precisely because he knew this, the Northern Territory General, who was running fast with his whole body armor making metal collision sounds, was even more anxious, because he felt that if his mentor and Kuku Lin Bai Ye fought here, it wouldn't be a question of who he helped, but that Winter City, the main city of the Northern Territory, might be destroyed. Just thinking of this, the Northern Territory General's forehead was already sweating.

Before this, the Northern Territory General couldn't think of anything worse than Kuku Lin Bai Ye coming to Winter City, and now, the Northern Territory General not only thought of it but also saw it with his own eyes: his mentor, the Stone Carver, was going to fight Kuku Lin Bai Ye to the death here.

The Northern Territory General stopped. He looked at his mentor more than ten meters to the left, then shifted his gaze to Su Xiao more than ten meters to the right. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Da~

Su Xiao's hand pressed on the hilt of the knife. Almost at the same time, the Northern Territory General roared: "Wait!!"

After the Northern Territory General roared this, he even thought about where he would be buried. Today, for the sake of Winter City, he was going all out.

"Silly child, teacher is just here for a stroll, no need to be so nervous."

The Stone Carver spoke, his voice giving people a sense of vicissitudes in its thickness. The next second, the wind and snow in the station suddenly increased. A black space crack a hundred meters high split open behind the Stone Carver. He turned and walked into it. Strangely, such a spectacular sight was ignored by the passing pedestrians, or rather, they couldn't see such an astonishing change at all.

The black space crack suddenly disappeared. Seeing this, the Northern Territory General felt relieved in his heart; the worst result did not appear.

Su Xiao looked at the disappearing space crack and released his hand from the hilt. Just now, he had received several hints in a row.

【Warning: Traitor Shiman Achid has appeared within a hundred meters of you.】

【Warning: Shiman Achid is in the state of wearing the "Law-Extinguishing Blade," and his comprehensive combat power will be greatly improved!】

【Warning: Shiman Achid's bounty amount will be increased from 1500 ounces of space-time power in his old/severely weak state to 35,000 ounces of space-time power!】

【Due to the combat peak of this world, while in this world, Shiman Achid's combat power will be suppressed by the dual notarization of the Void Tree and the Samsara Paradise, and the bounty amount will be reduced to 12,000 ounces of space-time power.】

【Detected that the Abyss Hole in this world has been closed, Shiman Achid's combat power will be reduced, and the bounty amount will be reduced to 7,500 ounces of space-time power.】

【Detected that Shiman Achid is in an old/intermittently weak state, and the bounty amount will be reduced to 1800–3000 ounces of space-time power (depending on real-time conditions).】

Seeing the bounty amount of 35,000 ounces of space-time power, Su Xiao's heart was calm. Anyway, he couldn't beat him. Instead of being excited, it was better to keep his mentality calm. Only by being calm could he think of more ways. However, after reading the subsequent hints, he knew that although this was a narrow escape, it was barely fightable.

Especially after improving himself with the Golden Secret Medicine, plus Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan devouring two Immortal-characteristic Abyss-bred creatures, and deeply awakening the "Spirit Shadow Constitution," his survival ability had reached a higher level, and finally, he obtained the "Covenant Object" to increase the near-death health limit.

After these improvements accumulated, Su Xiao's strength was no longer what it was when he first entered this world. Plus, he had obtained a crucial insurance through the transaction with Caesar. If these factors combined, he didn't dare to fight the Abyss Shadow in his old state, then how would he deal with the various assassinations of the Arcane Eternal Star later?

"Dean Bai Ye, welcome to Winter City."

The Northern Territory General spoke expressionlessly, then turned and left with his subordinates. The hostility was not concealed at all. It could be seen that the Northern Territory General respected his mentor very much.

As soon as the Northern Territory General left the train station, he said to his subordinate who was good at tracking: "Watch him closely. Whether he approaches the palace or the teacher's old residence, notify me immediately. If the opportunity is right, find a way to poison him..."

Before the Northern Territory General finished speaking, a short knife as thin as a cicada's wing was already pressed against his neck. This made the Northern Territory General frown and say: "I'm not in the mood to joke with you now, take it away."

The person using the crystal short knife to press against the Northern Territory General was a petite woman wearing a black metal mask. She said with a smile: "Teacher asked me to tell you, live well, don't court death."

Hearing this, the Northern Territory General frowned even deeper and said in a deep voice: "You should know my adjutant's poisoning methods, he..."

"Pfft~"

The petite masked woman couldn't help but laugh. She said with a mocking tone:

"Well, try hard to let your adjutant poison the strongest pharmacist recognized by the Void. Believe your adjutant, he will definitely be killed in return."

After hearing this, the Northern Territory General was speechless for a long time. Just as he was about to say one last sentence, the masked woman said first: "You don't think teacher will lose, do you?"

The masked woman's voice had just fallen when a loud noise came from the direction of the rear city area. The darkness that soared into the sky gradually became thin between heaven and earth, and finally dissipated completely. The sky, which was overcast and snowing just now, became cloudless at this time. The clouds over the entire Winter City were evaporated by the darkness that had just passed in a flash.

Winter City, West City District, a three-story mansion.

"This is my home. Sit wherever you want, treat this as your own home. I'm not being polite."

After finishing, the Northern Territory Princess leaned comfortably on the single sofa. Compared to Kuss City in the Alliance, she preferred it here. Every time she returned here, she felt a sense of peace.

"With your net worth, living here is considered low-key."

Baja looked around at the various antique furnishings on the second floor while speaking. Hearing this, the Northern Territory Princess narrowed her eyes with a smile. Whenever she showed this expression, it meant she was going to show her "money power" inadvertently.

"Stop, are you going to say that these shops nearby are yours?"

Baja predicted. Hearing this, the Northern Territory Princess smiled implicitly and said: "Of course not, the two blocks nearby are all my real estate."

"Damn."

Baja stopped paying attention to the Northern Territory Princess to avoid being affected by the other party's "money power" again.

After Su Xiao sat down, he entered a meditation state and released his perception, but found no one monitoring the surroundings. This was different from what he had expected. Judging from the Northern Territory General's attitude, they should have sent eyes and ears.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao felt something lightly bump his leg. It was Xiang Bubu Wang returning and detaching from the environment.

"Woof."

"Hmm."

"Woof woof."

"No need to watch them later."

"Woof."

Xiang Bubu Wang nodded. This fluent conversation left the Northern Territory Princess on the side completely confused.

Ignoring the Northern Territory Princess, Su Xiao already knew from the information Xiang Bubu Wang brought back why the traitor Shiman Achid appeared at the train station today.

Just now, in the North City District of Winter City, where royal descendants, powerful officials, and wealthy people lived, this place guarded by the Imperial Guards was attacked just now.

Two high-level officials of the Northern Territory Empire died in this attack. Their status was only below the Northern Territory monarch. One could imagine the severity of this matter. What was surprising was that both the Northern Territory monarch and other royal descendants chose to ignore this matter.

Although these two had many enemies, there were only a few people who could kill them in Winter City. Interestingly, it was these two who ordered the Northern Territory General to be transferred back.

These two had just prepared to pit the Northern Territory General, and the plan had just started when they died on the spot. This matter was most likely done by the traitor Shiman Achid.

Coupled with the fact that Su Xiao met Shiman Achid at the train station today, Su Xiao was actually very puzzled why the other party took the initiative to show up. Now it seemed that it was a statement, telling Su Xiao that he would fight Su Xiao to the death, that is, skipping the troublesome link of mutual calculation, but in contrast, Su Xiao could not kill the other party's disciple, the Northern Territory General.

The Northern Territory General was indeed famous, but if he faced Su Xiao, it wouldn't be enough. First, the ranking of strong people in this world:

First place: Traitor.

Second place: Abyss Archbishop.

Third place: God of Radiance.

Fourth place: Sand King.

Fifth place: Tessa.

Sixth place: Northern Territory General.

Tessa was one of his own, not counted. In this way, except for the traitor Shiman Achid at the top, all the strong people above the Northern Territory General had been destroyed by Su Xiao. Under such circumstances, the result of the Northern Territory General facing Su Xiao could be imagined.

The traitor Shiman Achid killed two high-level officials of the Northern Territory. Why did the Northern Territory monarch choose to pretend not to see? This was a very wise choice. First, the Northern Territory was about to enter the cold winter. Beast tribes like the Icefield Wolf Tribe and War Bear Tribe on the Great Icefield of the border were about to plunder villages and towns in the marginal areas of the Northern Territory Empire due to food shortages. Every year at this time, it was the Northern Territory General who went to stabilize the situation.

Although the Northern Territory General's fame didn't reach the level where the Icefield Beast tribes didn't dare to come, at least he could make the Beast tribes only dare to snatch food and not dare to eat civilians. If food was snatched, Winter City and major cities could take out some stored food for those looted villages and towns. But if civilians were eaten by the Beast tribes, that was a deadly feud.

This was one of the reasons why the Northern Territory monarch chose to ignore this matter. More importantly, the Northern Territory monarch knew one point: before the Northern Territory Empire was established, Shiman Achid was a strong person that no one dared to provoke in this world. The second half of this guy's life was longer than the history of the Northern Territory Empire. Provoking him wasn't courting death?

Dong dong dong~

While Su Xiao was thinking, the sound of knocking on the window glass came. It was a pitch-black bird. With a bang, this bird exploded, and the darkness it turned into formed several Void characters on the glass:

"Snowfield Ruins."

Su Xiao's gaze turned to the Northern Territory Princess. The Northern Territory Princess said: "The Snowfield Ruins is the base camp of the Insect-Attached Tribe, deep in the icefield."

"Insect-Attached Tribe?"

Baja looked suspicious. Before, it hadn't heard that there was such a tribe in this world.

"Simply put, it's the Northern Territory version of the Dark God Sect."

As soon as the Northern Territory Princess said this, she explained the Insect-Attached Tribe simply and clearly. Baja on the side guessed: "So, Shiman Achid is colluding with the Insect-Attached Tribe? Is he letting us go there to fight him to the death?"

"I don't know about that," the Northern Territory Princess thought for a while and continued: "Traveling to the icefield takes at least a day. However, there is a space tower near the icefield in the North City District. When shall we set off?"

"Now."

Su Xiao got up and walked out of the mansion. He was in good condition at this time, very suitable for completing this decisive battle.

North City District, side street, inside the space tower.

Ka da da~

Baja adjusted the space scale wheel in front of the transmission platform. After locking the position, the transmission started.

The space fluctuations gathered and dispersed. When the surrounding scene became clear, it was already inside a slightly old space tower covered with frost.

Su Xiao walked out of the space tower and found that outside was a small town covered in snow. On the streets where the snow hadn't been cleaned up much, there were many pedestrians, most of whom were wearing large packages and dressed like hunters.

The small town near the edge certainly had the risk of being looted by the Beast tribes, but in contrast, the people in the small town could also enter the icefield to loot the Beast tribes.

As a guide, the Northern Territory Princess got lost just a few minutes after leaving the small town. Regarding the location of the "Snowfield Ruins," the Northern Territory Princess was unusually certain just now, but after leaving the small town, she became more and more guilty.

At first, Baja mistakenly thought the Northern Territory Princess was a traitor, until Su Xiao asked her which side was west, and she resolutely pointed to the south. It was basically determined that the Northern Territory Princess was not a traitor; she was a road idiot. Because she used to go out with a butler driving or in the city area, she didn't know how to distinguish east from west until now.

Just as Su Xiao was preparing to return to the small town to find a guide, several black shadows ran over in the wind and snow ahead, getting closer and closer. Their sturdy physique, stamina, and fast running were a pity not to pull a sled.

In the wind and snow, several Icefield Bear tribes that found prey stopped. After approaching Su Xiao within a certain range, they began to feel something was wrong.

"Roar!"

The bear leader roared, saliva stretching between its sharp teeth, showing the violence of the beast.

A moment later, several Icefield Bears that were beaten until their eyeballs were congested and their noses were bleeding had ropes tied to them, and their bear leader had already been slashed by Amu.

The bear-pulled sled was very fast, and since this was the territory of the Beast tribes, there would naturally be no situations like getting lost. An hour later, in the wind and snow, one could vaguely see a ruin ahead. The Snowfield Ruins had arrived.

Su Xiao stood up from the sled. Before entering the Snowfield Ruins, he vaguely sensed the blood smell diffusing in the air. When he walked into the ruins of the ruins, he saw humanoid corpses in a mutated state distributed everywhere. It could be seen that these corpses mutated before they died, or rather, this was the appearance of the Insect-Attached Tribe.

When Su Xiao arrived at the main hall on the innermost side of the ruins, a rich blood smell rushed toward him. He walked into the main hall and saw the corpses of the Insect-Attached Tribe piled up on both sides. From the dried blood stains, it could be seen that they had been killed for a few days, and all they suffered were knife wounds. More precisely, one person had destroyed all the Insect-Attached Tribe.

Located on the innermost side of the main hall, a transmission array was glowing faintly, in a standby state. Su Xiao walked up and found that this transmission array was very familiar. This was actually a Demon Race transmission array.

"Boss, wait a moment."

Baja spread its wings and began to perceive the situation on the other side with its space ability.

"That side is not in the Northern Territory. Looking at the climate, it's a big forest. Hmm~, it's deep in the Bar Great Forest. There is only one person on that side, and no space traps were detected."

"..."

Su Xiao stood on the transmission array and activated it.

Boom!

After a loud explosion, the surrounding space shattered. After a few seconds, the shattered space gradually reorganized. The cold wind of the Northern Territory disappeared, replaced by the suitable climate of the "Bar Great Forest" and the breath of plants.

Su Xiao looked around and found himself on a circular field with a diameter of more than 100 meters. The ground here was paved with earthy yellow stone slabs, surrounded by tree walls more than ten meters high, completely surrounding this place. These tree walls were exceptionally dense and compact, but they were all withered. Judging from the slightly scorched traces, this circular tree wall should be frequently struck by lightning.

At this moment, dozens of meters directly in front of Su Xiao, the traitor Shiman Achid was wearing gray-white loose clothes with wide sleeves. In his hand was a sheathed long knife. However, this Law-Extinguishing Blade was a section longer than Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. With the traitor's height of nearly 2.3 meters, he used this knife just right.

Zheng~

Two Law-Extinguishing Blades were unsheathed one after another. The invisible aura between the two made the gravel on the ground begin to float, one after another floating into the sky.

Crack!

In the overcast sky, a bolt of lightning struck down, landing on the circular tree wall on the right. This caused all the tree walls surrounding this battlefield to show sparks and drift on the field, which was exceptionally spectacular.

Amidst the sparks drifting on the battlefield, Su Xiao and Shiman Achid both stood with blades. The death battle between the Law-Extinguishing Shadow and the Abyss Shadow was about to break out.
