Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1678: Chapter 530: First Clash and Trump Cards, A Stagnant Scene_3

And through all of this, Xia Hong’s Dragon Sparrow Saber had never once been withdrawn.

Splurt…

Once Cai Qiuhu’s body finally solidified completely, Xia Hong’s blade sank solidly into his flesh. Skin membrane, blood and meat were split one after another, and with a wet splashing sound, blood sprayed out.

When Xia Hong’s edge stabbed all the way to the bone, a surge of power far above his own suddenly transmitted from the saber tip. Only then did a trace of true panic flash across Cai Qiuhu’s pupils.

War Body Golden Body, indestructible and unbreakable. No matter how great the force, at most it could injure him. For someone who didn’t control Tribulation Qi, killing a Tribulation Body Realm cultivator was simply impossible.

So he wasn’t afraid of death; Xia Hong, no matter what, couldn’t kill him.

What he feared was his father-elder in the sky, Cai Qianshan.

The matter of the Southern Slope Territory was something he had taken upon himself. Once he received the messages from Cai Shiqi and the others, he had sworn on his honor to his father-elder that he would surely ride this new round of war Great Xia was raising, take Jin Mountain and Wuchuan as stepping stones, support Cai Qiu’s proxy, and let Cai Qiu smoothly seize control of the entire Southern Slope Territory.

Yet five days had passed, and not only had he accomplished nothing, right now even his strength was being suppressed by Xia Hong in front of everyone.

Above him were three brothers with formidable cultivation; below, many younger siblings with outstanding talent. The position of Little Landgrave was something many were coveting.

With this one slash from Xia Hong, he had lost all face. His father-elder Cai Qianshan would likely be bitterly disappointed in him, and then…

“Enough!”

Cai Qianshan, who had been watching coldly from the sky all this time, finally spoke when Xia Hong had already forced Cai Qiuhu to start retreating.

Earlier, whether it was Xia Hong’s sudden explosion of power; Cai Shiqi being killed; or Cai Qiu’s group of Xianyang Level experts being driven into a wretched escape by the Divine Machine Crossbows, Cai Qianshan had only watched, seemingly with no interest in intervening.

Only now, when Xia Hong’s saber was about to injure Cai Qiuhu’s bones, did he finally open his mouth.

Enough!

These two words, coming from his mouth, should already have carried tremendous weight.

Yet Xia Hong acted as if he hadn’t heard at all. There was not the slightest sign of him easing his strength. The saber tip pressing against Cai Qiuhu’s bones began a final surge of power, then suddenly drove forward.

“Arrogant whelp…”

Xia Hong’s movements were clearly ignoring him; how could Cai Qianshan fail to see that? A blaze of fury shot up inside him. With a roar of anger, his body plunged downward. Without any weapons, he simply raised his hand, bringing up a gust of palm wind that slammed straight toward Xia Hong’s face.

Roar…

The Fire Suanni Puppet that had been floating motionless in midair finally moved.

Moving with it was the Three-headed Wolf Emperor that suddenly burst up from the ground.

The two Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperors struck together, directly blocking themselves in front of Xia Hong.

“Single-line Beast Emperors, and you think to block me?”

Seeing the two Beast Emperors bar his path, Cai Qianshan let out a cold laugh and a mocking retort. His movements didn’t slow in the slightest; his palm wind continued to cleave downward and, in an instant, reached the two Beast Emperor Puppets.

Bang… Bang…

He struck out with both hands, left and right, his palms swinging like bows. One after another they slapped into the bodies of the Three-headed Wolf Emperor and the Fire Suanni, those two Beast Emperor Puppets.

Know this: at this moment both Beast Emperors had already entered full battle form, their bodies stretched to over two hundred zhang in length. Compared to their vast frames, Cai Qianshan, who had neither manifested his Golden Body Battle Form nor applied any other Deceit Technique, was nothing more than a tiny speck.

Yet that tiny speck, with both hands striking left and right, actually used a single blow to send the Wolf Emperor and the Fire Suanni flying straight out for several kilometers.

With the two Beast Emperors knocked away, nothing remained to obstruct Xia Hong.

A touch of anger tinted Cai Qianshan’s dignified face. His body never paused for even an instant; he continued to lift his hand and gather his palm, sighting on Xia Hong’s skull. A glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he brought the palm straight down.

Xia Hong acted like he hadn’t noticed him at all, continuing to press Cai Qiuhu down relentlessly with the Dragon Sparrow Saber. Even as Cai Qianshan’s palm wind reached the top of his head, he still remained the same, showing no sign of pulling his blade back.

So confident in his backing!

“Roar…”

“Roar…”

…

Just as Cai Qianshan had guessed, Xia Hong truly did have backing to be fearless.

When Cai Qianshan’s palm wind was still more than ten meters from Xia Hong’s crown, ten furious roars suddenly rose from the ground. Immediately after, ten beams of intense light shot up into the sky.

Four of them went straight to block in front of Xia Hong. The remaining six streaked rapidly toward the six directions around Cai Qianshan—above, below, front, back, left, and right.

Those six beams of light actually turned around and encircled Cai Qianshan.

Once the radiance faded, the entities at the heart of each light manifested their true bodies. On the ground, shadow after shadow spread, each larger than the last, covering an ever wider area. Everyone’s expressions froze solid all at once.

This “everyone” did not refer only to one side!

Whether the Xia Army Soldiers, or Cai Qiu, Cai Qiuhu, and that whole group of Xianyang Level experts, or even Xia Chuan, Yuwen Dao, and the other Great Xia high officials—all of them were the same.

They looked up and saw ten colossal beast shadows in the sky blotting out sun and heaven. Their pupils quaked without end, then their expressions slowly turned excited, their faces filled with unrestrained elation.

Cai Qiuhu and the forty-nine Xianyang Level experts had their pupils trembling just as violently. But once that trembling passed, their faces were full of terror and fright, and a hint of incredulous stupefaction.

“Thi… this…”

“Gulp…”

“This has to be fake, right? How could there be so many Beast Emperor Puppets?”

“Not just many—look at those few, they’re double-line, aren’t they?”

“Look at that white Jiao Long above the Landgrave’s head—that’s triple-line, isn’t it?”

“Fire, gold, water—three lines. That’s a Three Elements Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperor…”

……

Cai Qianshan, surrounded by six Beast Emperors, had his expression frozen as well.

Clearly, the scene before his eyes had already far exceeded his understanding of Great Xia’s strength.

Twelve Beast Emperor-level Puppets, and one Three-Rowed Beast Emperor…
