At three in the morning, the plane slowly landed, arriving at Xuena Battle Zone's military airport.
While the plane was still taxiing, Du Yu saw the convoy coming to pick him up.
With excellent eyesight, he saw, in addition to the liaison officer Gu Wenming, a familiar figure—Jin Hao.
The overall person in charge of the battle zone actually came personally to pick him up... well, it makes sense.
Even in late April, the temperature within the Arctic Circle in Xuena Battle Zone remained cold, and at this early morning hour, it must be below zero.
As Du Yu stepped off the plane, a gust of cold wind blew past, instantly refreshing him.
"Commander." Du Yu greeted as he approached, bringing Master Qing along, and introduced the two acquaintances.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jin Hao looked at Du Yu again.
He extended his hand, pressing it on Du Yu's shoulder: "I thought you would take the Cold Ashen Arrow away, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."
Du Yu nodded: "The Divine Tree's invitation is not one to refuse."
"Hehe." Listening to this, Jin Hao chuckled silently.
The Divine Tree's invitation.
Such a simple phrase, yet it sounds so unbelievable and soul-stirring.
For thousands of years, Du Yu might be the first in Great Xia.
Supreme glory!
In fact, when Jin Hao first heard about Du Yu going to burn the Cold Tree, he was completely stunned.
When Jin Hao repeatedly confirmed the news and understood the sequence of events, he remained silent.
Back in January, when he witnessed Du Yu's stunning performance in Xuena Battle Zone, he was convinced that this young man had a limitless future.
But Jin Hao could never have imagined that this so-called "future" would come in just three short months.
"Is the Cold Ashen Arrow still in its original place, or will you summon it here?"
Du Yu looked at the amiable military bigwig in front of him, feeling a bit worried: "If I take the Cold Ashen Arrow away, what about the battle zone..."
Jin Hao laughed and shook his head: "You just go ahead."
Listening to such a response, Du Yu smiled and shook his head.
Previously, when Commander Jin Hao and he agreed on three chapters, it wasn't said like that.
Back then, Jin Hao was serious and stern, saying calling away the Cold Ashen Arrow was related to the lives of thousands of soldiers in the battle zone!
Yet at this moment, Jin Hao changed his words?
Du Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Commander, I'd better go fetch the Cold Ashen Arrow."
"Alright." Jin Hao slightly turned his body, and Gu Wenming immediately led the way, opening the car door at the back.
The master and disciple boarded the car, heading straight toward the city district.
In the backseat, Du Yu looked at the woman sitting quietly beside him and said softly: "Master Qing, you really don't have to accompany me all the way."
To Du Yu, he thought he could complete these preparatory tasks by himself.
Master Qing could completely go to the Sea Realm to recuperate or the Mountain Realm to cultivate.
But she stubbornly accompanied him all the way...
This couldn't help but make Du Yu feel apprehensive.
As if the king had no days to live~
"Mm." Yang Qingqing didn't even glance at Du Yu, only casually responded.
Such indifference.
Du Yu almost thought that the person sitting next to him was Master Qing's phone...
The military vehicle sped swiftly and soon arrived in front of the "prison" gates.
Amidst the clanging sound of iron gates, Du Yu summoned the Dust Spirit Deer, riding in through the large iron gates with Master Qing.
"Hiss..."
"Roar!" Just inside the prison gates, Du Yu heard a familiar roar.
Suddenly, Du Yu's eyes reddened, ready to drift, dodge, and shift once more within the city district, however...
"Whoosh!!!"
A tremendous wave nearly overwhelmed Du Yu and Bai Yujing.
Behind Du Yu, Yang Qingqing, sitting on the deer's back, raised her hand high.
A colossal Mountain Fire Saber manifested dramatically!
The aura was majestic, the sound waves were overwhelming!
Inside and outside the prison gates, countless soldiers and Cold Beasts immediately looked this way.
Yang Qingqing conveyed a thought: "Do not damage the buildings, do not harm the Human Race."
"Buzz!!!"
The Demon Soldier Array on the Mountain Fire Saber's hilt suddenly lit up, with blade souls of the Mountain Fire Saber swiftly traversing!
"Goodness~"
Du Yu couldn't help but grin, quite fierce!
The master-disciple duo rode the deer flying in the air, surrounded by Mountain Fire Blade Souls to escort the Dust Spirit Immortal Deer.
Fact has proven: All your fears stem from insufficient firepower!
"Buzz!!!"
In the distance, another intense tremor sound cut through the night sky.
Holy Soldiers meeting isn't always amicable.
Especially since this is the territory of the Ashen Arrow!
Du Yu immediately transmitted a thought: "Ashes."
Ashen Arrow: "Wait a moment, there's a small troublemaker in Xuena City causing trouble."
Du Yu: "Uh, that troublemaker is me."
Ashen Arrow: "..."
Du Yu quickly said: "This saber is my master's Holy Soldier, not very good-tempered, don't mind it."
Ashen Arrow: "Mm."
"The master is here, why aren't you excited?" Du Yu inquired in his mind.
Ashen Arrow: "..."
Waiting for a moment, with no response, Du Yu felt a bit uncomfortable: "How's Tribulation?"
Ashen Arrow: "Very well, it has a lot of spirituality."
"Oh?" Du Yu felt a splash of joy, dispersing quite a bit of worry, "Any hope of Becoming a Saint?"
Ashen Arrow fell silent again.
Little Fen Yang muttered quietly: "Black Arrow is so aloof~"
"Isn't it though." Du Yu pouted, "Not changed a bit."
Ashen Arrow: "Are you here for training?"
Strictly speaking, the aloof male god has changed a bit, at least he knows how to ask the master his intentions.
Du Yu: "No, I've come to fulfill my promise to you."
Ashen Arrow: "Oh?"
"Put out the fire on the arrow feathers." As he spoke, Du Yu was already riding the deer to the Central City District.
Then, Bai Yujing's snow-white hooves gently stepped on the pitch-black Ashen Arrow's tail.
Du Yu wasn't concerned with dirt, kneeling down, pressing his hand on the black tail feathers: "Do you remember, when I contracted you, the promise I made to you?"
Ashen Arrow spoke in a deep voice: "The Youhan Tree?"
Du Yu: "Shall we go? Come burn the tree with me?"
The Ashen Arrow fell silent.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
After more than ten seconds, the Ashen Arrow said in a deep voice, "You're a bit too eager.
You're still too weak. Going to burn the Youhan Tree now is certain death."
Du Yu smiled, "I'm not foolish. We have the protection of the Kunlun Divine Tree.
I'll explain the details to you on the way. Are you coming with me?"
Ashen Arrow: "Go now?"
"Yes!"
Ashen Arrow: "Must we go?"
"Yes!"
"Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~!"
The relentless Mountain Fire Blade Soul tore through the air in fiery, bladed shadows, rapidly crossing around Du Yu, reflecting upon his determined face.
"Heh." The Ashen Arrow let out a soft laugh, full of freedom in its unique voice, "Alright, I'll accompany you."
"Poof~"
A massive black arrow, over a hundred meters long, transformed into a dense Fire Demon Breath, surging directly into Du Yu's body.
"Arrow, arrow..." Du Yu stammered, his body rigid and unable to move.
His entire being was filled with pure Fire Demon Breath, a sensation... indescribably pleasurable.
"Nai~" Bai Yujing tilted slightly, catching Du Yu's waist and abdomen, lifting him onto its back.
At the same time, it rushed downward, catching the naturally falling Tribulation Arrow in its mouth.
"Hiss..."
"Roar!!!" As the Ashen Arrow vanished, the roars grew more piercing.
Yang Qingqing, expressionless, flew slowly upward.
Her tiny human hand pressed upon the hilt of the Mountain Fire Saber.
"Whoosh~"
In an instant, the woman was completely ignited.
The blazing Flame Cyan Master looked down upon the Bottomless Abyss below, slashing down fiercely.
"Hiss!!!"
Countless large Mountain Fire Blade Souls gushed out, instantly forming a long, thick dragon of blade souls.
On the fiery dragon head, a myriad of sharp blades gleamed!
The dragon, thus, roared down beside the Ashen Arrow, piercing straight into the Bottomless Abyss.
On this night, the Xuena Battle Zone welcomed a more tempestuous soul!
The soldiers within the safe point in the city, the generals at work, and the troops stationed outside the city all watched in shock and awe at such a breathtaking scene.
Where did this Godslayer come from...
"Nai~"
As the dragon roared past, fiery waves spread, causing Bai Yujing to sway.
Du Yu quickly held onto Xiaobai's neck.
His figure floated horizontally above the bottomless below: "Master Qing."
Yang Qingqing looked down at Du Yu, raising an eyebrow slightly.
With one hand on the end of the saber handle, the massive flame blade stood beside Bai Yujing, like a wall of fire, shielding her disciple from the wind and waves.
Du Yu looked up, staring at Emperor Qing's world-dominating stance... like a goddamn god!
Du Yu shouted loudly, "Escort me down the bottomless, I have a talk with the Divine Tree."
In the Bottomless Pit of the Xuena Battle Zone, there was also a Divine Tree entangled with the Youhan Tree.
However, at this place, the Divine Tree tacitly allowed the output of the Ashen Arrow, willingly burning its body, harming the enemy by a thousand while damaging itself by a thousand.
Yang Qingqing hesitated for a moment before nodding.
With a thought, the array at the hilt glowed, and huge Mountain Fire Blade Souls shot out from the blade.
Countless blades protected, Du Yu rode the immortal deer, descending straight into the bottomless.
The Divine Tree was easy to find, just a thin Spirit Branch was enough.
At the first touch of the Divine Tree, Du Yu used the Demon Soul to convey a thought, "I'm going to the Kunlun Realm now.
The Ashen Arrow here, I'm taking it with me.
After we leave, may I trouble you to take good care of this bottomless place. Because of the existence of the Ashen Arrow, no defensive structures have been built.
Don't let our soldiers of the Great Xia fill this place with their lives."
Du Yu wasn't making baseless threats.
Without thick stone walls and layer upon layer of labyrinth, this straight up and down Bottomless Pit was deadly for humans!
Divine Tree: "The Kunlun Realm is not as terrifying as you think."
"Heh." Du Yu grinned, noncommittal, "It's troublesome, I'll take my leave now, see you in Kunlun."
Du Yu released the Spirit Branch and flew upward on the immortal deer along the fire wall formed by the Mountain Fire Saber.
Suddenly he heard a "creak" sound from below.
He tilted his body, looking down.
Only to see the Divine Tree spreading its branches, constructing layer upon layer of tree walls, seemingly establishing defense structures according to the layout of other Bottomless Pits?
Du Yu was shocked, full of bewilderment.
The Divine Tree still had energy left?
Or perhaps, it had paid some kind of price...
Du Yu frowned tightly, as Yang Qingqing timely retracted the blades.
"Let's go, Master Qing." Du Yu flew back to stand beside Master Qing, "Let's go to the airport and head for Kunlun."
Yang Qingqing sat sideways on the Dust Spirit Deer, looking at the heavily constructed tree walls below, "Did you ask the Divine Tree to do this?"
"The commander told me to just move forward." Du Yu shrugged his shoulders, "You know, Master Qing.
Except for your words, I don't really listen to anyone."
Hearing this, Yang Qingqing gave Du Yu a look that was both angry and amused.
Du Yu chuckled, reached out his hand, and took back the Tribulation Arrow from Bai Yujing's mouth, "Giddy up!"
With a gust of wind under Bai Yujing's hooves, they traversed through the night sky.
Until they leaped over the high prison walls, the master and disciple saw the generals waiting outside the gate.
Du Yu shouted loudly, "Commander, time is tight, I'm heading straight to the airport!"
Jin Hao looked at the youth riding the Immortal Deer, spoke in a deep voice, "Return safely!"
"Nai~~~" Du Yu didn't respond, replaced by a beautiful cry of a deer.
"Report!" Gu Wenming received the message and came quickly.
Jin Hao: "Speak."
Gu Wenming: "An abnormal situation has occurred in the Bottomless Pit. The Divine Tree used branches to build a defensive structure.
Similar to the defensive structures at other bottomless pits in the Great Xia."
Jin Hao: "What?"
Gu Wenming: "According to reports from soldiers in the city, after Du Yu retrieved the Cold Ashen Arrow, he briefly went down the bottomless.
After he came out, the Divine Tree started building a defense system."
Jin Hao's heart trembled slightly, looking up at the night sky, already unable to see the snowy white figure of the deer.
