Chapter 952: Chapter 266: The Damsel Bravely Fights Northwestern Evil, the Hero Stands Tall and Free (Part 3)
Shi Feiyang took a deep breath and activated the Bright Jade Technique within himself. In an instant, True Qi surged through his meridians, converging in the palm of his hand like a torrential river.
In the palm of his hand, light flickered and cold air swirled, as if it contained a miniature world of ice and snow.
Then, Shi Feiyang let out a low shout, his voice like thunder, and struck towards the Blood Pool with his palm.
A white chill, resembling a massive white dragon awakening from an artic land, roared out from his palm with an endless force of ice. Where the chill passed, the air instantly froze into frost, emitting a "zzzz" sound.
In the blink of an eye, the chill enveloped the entire Blood Pool, and the blood within the pool quickly froze under the powerful icy force.
The once tumultuous waves of blood now turned into a crystal-clear yet eerily red ice plain.
Under the sunlight, the ice plain shimmered with dazzling light, interlaced with a blood-red hue, appearing particularly sinister and terrifying, speaking of the bloody past that once occurred here.
Guo Xiangyu, standing to the side, was completely stunned by the scene.
Her eyes widened round, filled with disbelief and deep shock, as if witnessing the most incredible miracle in the world.
Her lips quivered slightly, unable to speak for a long time.
After quite a while, she stammered, "Hero Shi...this...this Divine Skill truly is rare in the world. I have never seen such miraculous Martial Arts that can freeze the Blood Pool instantly. The hero’s power is truly that of an Immortal, which deeply impresses me." Her voice carried a slight tremor.
It was a representation of excitement and shock intertwined.
Shi Feiyang turned around, looked at Guo Xiangyu, and revealed a gentle smile, saying, "Miss Guo, you flatter me. Although this skill has some wonders, in the Jianghu, it’s merely a means to punish evil and promote good. This Blood Pool was filled with filth and sin, and now sealing it also counts as removing a harm from the world."
His words were steady and powerful, fully displaying his chivalrous demeanor.
Guo Xiangyu nodded slightly, her eyes full of admiration, and said, "The hero has the world in his mind, with gallant and righteous actions, all for the sake of justice. To receive the hero’s protection is truly a blessing for me. From now on, I will closely follow the hero, helping him in every difficulty."
Her eyes were determined, and her words carried a sense of resoluteness.
Shi Feiyang smiled slightly and said, "Miss Guo, your words are too serious. From now on, we will journey together in the Jianghu, supporting each other. Hopefully, we can add some righteousness to the Jianghu and reduce some evil." After speaking, he looked again at the sealing Blood Pool, with an expression of satisfaction.
Thereafter, Shi Feiyang, Guo Xiangyu, Xie Wen, and Shi Xiong flew away from the Blood Pool.
Their figures flashed like lightning through the forests, and soon arrived outside the mountain.
Shi Feiyang reached into the usually invisible deer skin pouch at his waist, and with a gentle pull, several fine horses appeared before everyone.
These horses were exceptionally majestic, sleek in posture, raising their heads and neighing. Guo Xiangyu saw this and couldn’t help but widen her eyes, full of amazement and curiosity, looking completely entranced, as if she were in a fantastical dream.
She was just a mortal, unable to see that mysterious deer skin pouch at Shi Feiyang’s waist, only witnessing Shi Feiyang touch his waist and then retract several fine horses. God! Truly a god! Is Hero Shi not a mortal, but an Immortal? Practicing magic?
Shi Feiyang walked up to Guo Xiangyu, with a gentle smile on his face.
He gently embraced Guo Xiangyu, his actions soft as if afraid of hurting her, and then steadily helped her onto the saddle.
After that, he leaped onto his horse, his posture agile, like a streak of white light.
Sitting boldly on horseback, he waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Everyone, join me in heading to Ningxia!" Upon finishing, he led the group, waving his whip, galloping towards Ningxia.
The sound of horse hooves echoed like thunder across the vast plains.
It was early winter, the expansive grasslands seemed shrouded in a layer of gloom, fully displaying a scene of earth’s sorrow.
The bitter cold wind roared like a fierce beast across the plains, stirring up a flurry of snow.
Snowflakes fluttered down like goose feathers, draping this land with a white yet chilling garment.
Shi Feiyang, Xie Wen, Shi Xiong, and Guo Xiangyu rode forth against the piercing wind and swirling snow, galloping on horseback.
The fine horses neighed, snowflakes kicked up by their hooves scattered everywhere, as they trekked day and night through this silver-white world.
After several days, they finally ran out of that vast grasslands, arriving at a small town located on the frontier.
This small town nestled among mountain embraces, like a pearl forgotten by time.
At this moment, heavy clouds quietly concealed the sunlight.
Instantly, the peaks and forests were engulfed by this gloom, revealing an atmosphere of dim darkness.
The distant mountains appeared indistinctly under the shroud of clouds.
Shi Feiyang and the others raised their eyes and saw the evening closing in, the dusk settling down like a giant curtain.
Then, Shi Feiyang gently tugged the reins and said, "Everyone, as the night approaches, let’s stay here at the ’Yuelai Inn’ in this town." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Though this small town’s population wasn’t large, it was located at the borderland junction, a highly unique position.
Traveling merchants were endless, coming from the north and south, bustling endlessly.
