Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1190 - 1175: The Formidable Enemy Finally Arrives
In the snowy void, Gu Yan and Snow Lady stood proudly.
The eyes of Gu Yan, the Gu'e Mountain Saintess, were still fixed intently on the snowy peak below, and upon hearing Gu Yan's contemplative words, Snow Lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, Gu Yan sensed a faint presence, likely that of the Qingg Yan girl, whose aura slipped when she shouted into the void towards them.
At this moment, Snow Lady was secretly harnessing the full power of the Ice Desolate Mirror to envelop Qingg Yan.
Since Gu Yan could no longer sense Qingg Yan's aura, even if the girl were to call out to them again, the Saintess would not perceive it under the full force of the Ice Desolate Mirror.
At this point, Snow Lady spoke to the Saintess Gu Yan: "Saintess, I have already scanned the area with the Ice Desolate Mirror. Aside from some Snow Beasts roaming this snowy peak, there aren't any Human Warriors!"
"Oh, no warriors?" Hearing Snow Lady's words, Gu Yan softly murmured, "How strange! Could it be that I sensed incorrectly?"
"Saintess, that might be it. There are many Snow Beasts on the peak, and some of their auras closely resemble those of humans. Perhaps the humanoid aura that you sensed was one of those beasts," Snow Lady added.
"Perhaps so, or perhaps not! Maybe my sensing was mistaken," Gu Yan said, withdrawing her senses from the snowy peak.
She wasn't particularly concerned with that snowy peak, only intrigued by the faint humanoid aura that had mysteriously vanished.
Though she felt a vague sense that the aura was unusual, Gu Yan didn't know why; it might have been a woman's intuition or simply overthinking.
She then cast aside these thoughts, refocusing her gaze and turning around.
Seeing Gu Yan's reaction, Snow Lady finally felt fully at ease. Like Gu Yan, she turned around, and they both looked into the void ahead. Gu Yan again spoke, asking, "Lady, how much farther are we from that little bastard!"
"Almost there!" Snow Lady replied, "At our current speed, we can catch up with him in an hour!"
"Good!" Hearing that it would only take an hour, Gu Yan smirked coldly, dismissing the oddity from her mind.
Immediately, their figures flickered again, swiftly chasing the person ahead!
...
"What is going on? Who could it be that this unease is becoming so intense?" Shi Feng's body was still moving rapidly, but his mind was increasingly uneasy.
This feeling had only occurred once before.
That time was in the North Domain of Tianheng Continent when he was still the continent's strongest, the Emperor Nine Nether, Netherworld!
Back then, he also felt an intense unease that led him into an ambush meticulously set by seven Supreme Martial Emperors, and he was slain by a grand formation they laid out together.
In this life, having entered the Wilderness Continent, that intense unease emerged once more.
"Could it be that this time I, Netherworld, am to fall again?" Shi Feng murmured, reflecting on the unease in his heart.
His expression, turning icy, grew colder as he declared, "No! Absolutely not! Since I, Netherworld, have been given another life, and this life has reached heights unimaginable in my previous one, how can I fall again!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" He declared, harshly and repeatedly, and in that moment, a fierce killing intent erupted from him as he shouted, "Anyone who wishes for my end! No matter who they are, I will eliminate them, utterly destroy them!"
The fierce killing intent surged straight into the heavens.
"Hmm?" Yet at that moment, Shi Feng's icy brow suddenly furrowed tightly.
"Haha! Hahahaha!" It was then that a girl's cold laughter echoed from the skies behind him.
"Little bastard, this time I, Gu Yan, want to see how you squirm before me!" The laughter, laced with an icy killing intent, resonated through the heavens.
"Gu Yan! Gu'e Mountain Saintess Gu Yan! She's finally here!" Shi Feng, hearing the voice from the void behind him, thought coldly.
He confirmed his profound unease indeed stemmed from this despicable woman and the formidable force of Gu'e Mountain in the Wilderness Continent!
"Calm down!" Shi Feng commanded himself coldly. Now that he had identified the source of his unease, he forcibly quelled the unsettling feeling rising within.
At this moment, Shi Feng's body abruptly halted, ceasing its rapid traversal to stand atop a snowy peak.
Then, Shi Feng moved once more, rising skyward, until he was in place above, then slowly turned to face the chilling voice.
At the same time, in his right hand, a white thunderbolt flashed as the Bloodthirsty Thunder Sword, previously at his right-hand's middle finger as a white thunder pattern, reappeared in his grip.
Standing proudly in the void, wielding the Bloodthirsty Thunder Sword, Shi Feng coldly gazed at the expansive, snowy horizon. His white robe and long hair danced with the wind, snowflakes flying around him, the only sound being the fierce gusts howling in his ears.
Shi Feng chose no longer to flee but to stand there defiantly, waiting for his formidable foe.
He now knew that the person could catch up, and even giving his all to escape would prove futile, only making him appear more wretched and desolate.
Rather than that, thus, he decided to make a bold stand!
"I wonder, will you reveal yourself then? Don't disappoint me!" With his eyes still on the vast snowy void, Shi Feng muttered softly.
He said this to the "Old Master," the Source of All Things.
When he first entered the Wilderness Continent, he believed the Source of All Things was only a One-star Demigod artifact.
But that time in the Demon God Fallen Land, the Source of All Things displayed its immense prowess, defending against even the legendary Red Lotus Karma Fire and blocking the more ferocious yellow flame that rivaled the Red Lotus Wildfire.
The Source of All Things protected him, rendering the black dog phantom on the yellow bead ineffective.
At that moment, Shi Feng understood that the Source of All Things was not as simple as he imagined.
Thus this time, facing the intense unease and impending formidable enemies, Shi Feng hoped to survive by relying on the "Old Master" Source of All Things.
He hoped it would once more display its divine might at this critical moment!
