Chapter 669: Chapter 275: Solved in One Move!!
Finally, Jiang Shi and his companions searched for a whole day before they initially settled on a place to stay.
It was a low snow hill, relatively tranquil, with no one around for three or four miles.
Only in an area three or four miles away were some people sitting cross-legged.
Although this place wasn’t the perfect spot, it was undoubtedly much better compared to the previously crowded locations.
Pop! Pop!
As soon as they landed, Jiang Shi planted two Nether Blood Banners directly into the ground, sealing off the left and right directions, leaving only the front and rear directions unblocked.
"Let’s start setting up the array."
Jiang Shi responded.
"Alright!"
Daoist Master Xuan nodded and immediately began taking out materials and quickly started working.
To lure out the [Supreme Yang Fire Seed], just having Purple Dragon Grass was far from enough; a powerful Illusion Array had to be set up, covering all sides, to ensure that once the [Supreme Yang Fire Seed] arrived, it couldn’t leave.
Otherwise, without the Illusion Array to obstruct it, it could easily consume the Purple Dragon Grass and quickly escape.
And so, time passed.
A whole night.
Under the strenuous efforts of Daoist Master Xuan, a highly profound and powerful array finally took shape. At the center of the array, over a hundred stalks of Purple Dragon Grass were planted by Daoist Master Xuan.
This grass was in fact a type of Spirit Grass, containing extremely strong Power of Fire Attribute, also known as Purple Sun Grass. Once planted, the surrounding ice and snow faintly took on a light purple hue.
"It’s ready, just keep watch around the area."
Daoist Master Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Alright, let’s guard it for now and hope we don’t have to wait too long."
Jiang Shi muttered to himself.
He could only wait here for at most half a year, and once it’s over, he definitely had to return.
Otherwise, the Celestial Demon Sect might have already been destroyed.
The two of them each found a vacant spot and sat down cross-legged, quietly keeping watch.
For a moment, the two of them seemed to blend into this Arctic environment.
The cold wind howled.
The sound was harsh and piercing.
The Land of the North Pole was extremely harsh, not only having severe sub-zero temperatures near a hundred degrees below freezing, but also frequently experiencing hailstorms.
However, for those who chose to live in seclusion here, neither hail nor extreme cold seemed significant at all.
The following days were peaceful yet somewhat chaotic.
The reason for calling it peaceful was because no one came to provoke Jiang Shi and his companion.
On the other hand, it was chaotic because the recluses in the Land of the North Pole would occasionally fight each other, sometimes challenging one another for the right to reside on ice peaks.
In the blink of an eye, sixteen consecutive days had passed.
During these sixteen days, the [Supreme Yang Fire Seed] Jiang Shi was waiting for never appeared, but he witnessed more than a dozen battles of varying sizes here.
He seemed like a mere spectator, sitting high above, completely detached from the events below.
Every time a battle took place, he watched everything with a serene expression and occasionally shared some drinks with Daoist Master Xuan.
Yet, during these dozen or so battles, a person emerged who drew considerable attention, even causing Jiang Shi to frown secretly.
This person was quite formidable, roughly at the Eighth Heaven of Nirvana. Since his appearance, he had been challenging others daily like a Martial Madman, with ruthless and merciless attacks.
Anyone defeated by him would often end up severely injured or dying; even in better situations, they might lose an arm or a foot.
This person, however, was extremely fast and never challenged anyone he wasn’t confident of defeating, which, although displeasing many, kept him from being intercepted or killed by anyone.
On this day, he once again ventured forth for a challenge. Amidst the booming sounds, he blasted his opponent away, causing them to spit blood.
Seeing that he was about to use a Killing Technique, his opponent quickly used a Secret Technique to finally escape from his grasp.
This, however, darkened the person’s expression instantly, as if failing to kill his opponent was an extremely infuriating matter.
His face was cold, his eyes scanning the area like a hawk. Suddenly, a pair of cold eyes swept towards Jiang Shi’s side.
Especially after noticing that Daoist Master Xuan only had the Realm of the Blood Pill, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"A mere Blood Pill dares to enter the Land of the North Pole?"
His voice was cold and domineering, taking a step forward, appearing not far from Jiang Shi and his companion, his sharp gaze suddenly landing on the mysterious Illusion Array near them.
"Purple Dragon Grass? What are you up to?"
His voice was icy as he pointed at Jiang Shi and said, "You, come out and fight me!"
"Don’t bring trouble on yourself!"
"You dare speak to me?"
The man sneered, staring at Jiang Shi, and said, "Do you think if I stomp on it, the Purple Dragon Grass you’ve painstakingly planted would suddenly crumble?"
"Hmm?"
Jiang Shi’s gaze turned cold as he looked at the man again and said, "Seems like you have a death wish?"
"Stop bluffing! Get out here!"
The man became thoroughly impatient, unwilling to waste more words with Jiang Shi. With a fierce shout, he lifted his foot and stomped hard on the ground.
A layer of terrifying power emanated from his foot, like endless waves, surging towards Jiang Shi’s direction, engulfing even the Purple Dragon Grass.
But just then!
Jiang Shi’s figure suddenly vanished.
In the next moment, there seemed to be a massive suction force in the void, like a sponge absorbing water, instantly absorbing all the terrifying aftershock of his stomp.
His expression changed before he could react, Jiang Shi’s body had already appeared in front of him. A hand the size of a door panel, veins bulging, ferocious and terrifying, pressed down on him.
"You!"
Crash!
The ground shook violently, ice and snow flew!
Large amounts of cold air swept around.
The man spat blood, his clothes torn, and was instantly crushed by Jiang Shi’s hand. Like a scarecrow, he was firmly pinned down by Jiang Shi, his bones breaking, letting out a miserable scream.
