Chapter 893 - Awakening of the Li Clan Forefather, No Way Back
Panda Novel
Deep in Heavenly Snow Mountain, where the Li clan Forefather rested, Li Xuefei was barely holding up against the assassins.
She drew the string of her bow and released the arrow like a tireless machine, fending off the assassins that got too close to the runic boundary.
Unfortunately, her restless efforts could not stop the runic boundary from breaking.
Moreover, that was still not the biggest threat she had to face.
Further away, on the peak of a mountain was a middle-aged man in a robe of black, whose chilly eyes were staring at the runic boundary.
The man was none other than Black Blood Tower Master.
“Master, why don’t you break the runic boundary yourself?” asked the assassin beside the man.
That particular assassin did not have a mask on, but his energy was on par with other purple-masked assassins.
Black Blood Tower Master said, “I just received news that all three purple-masked assassins, who were sent to assassinate Chu Kuangren, are all dead.”
The look on the assassin’s face changed when he heard the news. “The three of them were all Heavenly Daoist Celestials! Has Chu Kuangren become so powerful!?”
“Mmhm. At least stronger than I expected.”
“Does it have anything to do with you not taking things into your hands?”
“Li Xuefei and the Li clan Forefather are no threat to me, but they are the best lure. We can use them to lure the rest of the Li clan’s elites and Chu Kuangren over here,” the tower master said nonchalantly.
Then, a sudden epiphany hit the assassin, and he said reluctantly, “If Chu Kuangren teamed up with the Li clan Forefather, they might be a difficult opponent.”
“I am already invincible on Planet Sirius! What could Chu Kuangren and a crippled Heavenly Daoist Celestial possibly do to threaten me?” A hint of confidence appeared in the tower master’s eyes.
An indescribable terrifying aura emanated from him as he spoke, causing the assassins beside him to quiver for a moment.
The feeling, it felt like they were facing the Heavenly Might!
“Ever since you came out of closed-door meditation and killed the Li clan Forefather, you seem a little different, Tower Master. Your energy has become even more immeasurable.”
All the other assassins were in awe.
In their eyes, there was a hint of reverence and awe.
It was the admiration towards the King of Assassins.
Meanwhile, inside the runic boundary of Heavenly Snow Mountain, Li Xuefei had used up more than half of her Emperor qi. Her slender fingers were already bleeding due to repeatedly pulling the bowstring.
She had lost count of how many arrows she fired.
All she knew was to repeat the action like a mindless machine.
Clunk!
A strong and heavy clunk sounded all of a sudden. The string of the bow in her hands broke, causing the Emperor qi to lose its dependency and dissipate.
She even suffered a backlash from it.
“The string… broke?!”
Li Xuefei stared at the broken string in her hands blankly.
Only then did she remember that the bow had suffered some blows and was already damaged when she was being chased by the assassins. In addition to her repeated and frequent usage, the bow of the Great Daoist Weapon finally gave way.
“It seems like this is it,” Li Xuefei said with a sigh.
After all, the combat strength of an archer without a bow would be halved or more.
Then, a strange sound came from behind. The elderly in that icy coffin suddenly opened his eyes.
With a bang, the coffin lid burst into pieces, and the elderly inside sat up.
He looked around his surroundings, and his vast Emperor Thought flowed out in every direction. Soon enough, he was able to understand what was happening in Planet Sirius recently.
“Who would have thought that my Li clan would end up like this?”
The Li clan Forefather said with a sigh.
“Forefather!” Li Xuefei was delighted by his awakening.
The Li clan Forefather nodded at her. “Child, you have suffered enough. Leave the rest to me.”
He got out of the coffin and struck it with a powerful palm strike, smashing it to smithereens. As the icy crystals scattered in the air, the freezing qi intertwined with the Daoist patterns formed a sky blue bow in the air.
Li Xuefei’s eyes shone when she saw the bow. “Frost Godly Bow!”
According to her knowledge, the forefather’s bow was forged by Ethereal Ice of a million years. It was extremely powerful.
To the Li clan, it could even rival the Sirius Bow.
“Rebels who dare infiltrate the Li clan shall taste the wrath of the Frost Godly Bow!” The Li clan Forefather said coldly.
He then pulled the string back, and the freezing qi around it formed an ice arrow in the center.
With a swoosh, the string was released and the arrow soared across the air, leaving an icy trail behind wherever it went.
It was flying directly towards Black Blood Tower Master further at the mountain peak.
Facing the soaring arrow, the Black Blood Tower Master curled his lips into a grin. After that, he dished out a palm strike and easily shattered the icy arrow into pieces.
The icy shards of the shattered arrow rained down in all directions, killing some of the assassins who failed to evade were caught in the crossfire.
“Oh? As expected of the slumbering Li clan Forefather. There seems to be more than meets the eye with your powers,” Black Blood Tower Master said in disdain.
Li clan Forefather stared at Black Blood Tower Master coldly before drawing the string of his bow again. “Today, I shall shoot you to death to avenge the fallen members of the Li clan!”
As soon as the forefather’s Emperor qi surged, the icy air throughout the realm converged furiously at his bow and formed another ice arrow. At the same time, the powerful ripples of the Immortal Technique spread across all directions.
“Four Mystical Arts Solar Shot, White Tiger!”
As the icy arrow soared across the sky, its torrential icy energy formed an enormous White Tiger with surging murderous intent. The appearance of the technique alone deterred quite a number of assassins.
However, Black Blood Tower Master remained calm. He simply raised his hand, and a dark blood saber appeared in his hand.
A single swing of the bloody saber released a ghastly strike that contained an ice-cold killing intent that could freeze one’s heart at sight.
The White Tiger was shattered with a single slash!
“Carnage Dao!”
“As expected of the King of Assassins!”
The look on Li clan Forefather’s face turned serious.
Cultivators that cultivated the Carnage Dao were elites at carnage, and they were considered the best among their peers of the same realm.
“Li clan Forefather, I heard you went into slumber due to a heavy injury. I wonder how much have you recovered and how many more arrows can you release with that bow of yours?” Black Blood Tower Master said nonchalantly.
He swung the bloody saber again and released another thousand feet slash, shattering the runic boundary into pieces.
“Hmph! Nice try.”
Li clan Forefather pulled Li Xuefei behind him and then released a barrage of shots with his Frost Godly Bow.
Each arrow released from the bow formed the avatar of a divine beast. However, Black Blood Tower Master was so powerful that he shattered all the arrows just by brandishing his saber in the air without using any cultivation techniques.
“Child, leave us. I will hold him back,” Li clan Forefather said to Li Xuefei.
There was a hint of resolution in his eyes.
The Black Blood Tower Master’s power had exceeded his expectations. In order to win this battle, he would have to give the forbidden technique of the Li clan a try.
Unfortunately, he had yet to recover to his prime, and once he used the forbidden technique, it would mark his demise.
Thankfully, Li Xuefei had high potential. Should she grow stronger, she would eventually surpass him in terms of power. To protect the future of the clan, the forefather was prepared to fight to his death.
“Run? Where could you two possibly run to?” the Black Blood Tower Master scoffed.
The assassins had surrounded Li Xuefei and Li clan Forefather completely, leaving no path of escape for the two of them.
