Chapter 200 - First Encounter with the Snow Clan

Chapter 200: Chapter 188 First Encounter with the Snow Clan"Die!" The two white-haired men would not miss this opportunity, their long swords fiercely chopping down.

"Blood Transverse Sky!" Under the changing rules of chaos, the power of Blood Transverse Sky resurfaced, a river of blood cut between Lu Hong and the enemies—its vital energy pushed the two men back, giving Lu Hong a chance to catch his breath.

"Break!" Lu Hong smashed his sword down, shattering the ice crystals, his gaze fixed on the white-haired man who continued to cast magic from behind.

"Ha!" Seizing the moment the opponent was casting a spell, a intimidating shout successfully stunned the enemy. At the same time, Lu Hong manipulated the river of blood from Blood Transverse Sky to sweep towards the close-combat white-haired man, heading straight for the mage, but before he could get close, three sharp arrows forced Lu Hong back, causing him to lose the best opportunity to strike down his opponent.

"White-haired man, are you from the Snow Clan?!" Since his plan had failed, Lu Hong quickly retreated, creating distance between himself and the four-man squad of the enemy.

The white-haired man cut through the river of blood and steadied himself, saying to Lu Hong, "We are Kefatis. The Snow Clan is just an ignorant label from your Sacred Empire. And if you dare call us white-haired again, I will tear you to pieces!"

Kefatis was an ancestor of the Snow Clan, a true Heavenly God level being, and from the level of his capabilities, it was estimated that he had reached the ’Land Realm’ previously mentioned by the Magic Ancestor Holy Clan. The Snow Clan was a race he had created based on his own characteristics, born with great strength, resembling humans yet fundamentally different from humanity.

However, as awesome as this Snow Clan ancestor was, he was truly dead, his skeleton Lu Hong had also seen, lying outside the palace of Ice Spirit City for public viewing, and it was free of charge. This might be the irreconcilable conflict between the Empire and the Snow Clan over the years!

These four white-haired men were obviously Snow Clan scouts, sent to investigate the matter of chaos uprising.

As soldiers of the Snow Clan, stationed in the Endless Forest all year round, none of these four were easy to handle, with Lu Hong unable to match their four hands with his two fists, configured with two close and two at a distance, leaving Lu Hong no choice but to run.

"You won’t escape." The mage white-haired man had already figured out Lu Hong’s intention, the power of frost bursting from within him, instantly turning the surrounding hundred miles into a massive cage of ice crystals.

"Do you think I can’t break this ice chunk?" Lu Hong raised an eyebrow, his eyes glancing toward the archer white-haired man with an arrow ready to shoot.

"Try it." The corner of the archer’s mouth curved into a cold smirk, "If you can honestly answer our questions, perhaps I could consider sparing your life."

"What question?"

"Why is chaos uprising?" The white-haired man didn’t waste words, having asked this question countless times as he fought his way here, although he held no hope for Lu Hong, he still asked routinely.

"Hey, don’t tell me, but I actually do know," Lu Hong said with a smile.

"You do?!" The white-haired men were also stunned, the archer white-haired then angrily said, "You think delaying will help you?!" He drew his bow fully, his arrow slowly glowing with the cold light of magic.

"I really do know," Lu Hong said helplessly, "But you might not believe it if I told you."

The archer white-haired narrowed his eyes, "Speak first."

"Then I’ll say it," Lu Hong silently activated the vital energy within him, "The chaos uprising was just to kill me."

Hearing Lu Hong’s answer, the four white-haired men felt insulted, their pale faces flushing red with anger and yelled, "I’ll kill you!"

The moment the white-haired men acted, Lu Hong channeled the power of vital energy into the Lone Peak Twin Swords and fiercely slashed at the ice crystals above his head. The blood blade flashed past, breaking open a gap, and Lu Hong aimed at the gap and launched the trust arrow given by the philosopher.

A dark glimmer shot into the sky under everyone’s gaze, then, it just silently vanished without any reaction.

Was this thing fake? Where was the signal smoke?

Though Lu Hong was unfamiliar with this signal arrow, the white-haired men were knowledgeable. After the black guard signal was emitted, the four sprung into action, fiercely saying to Lu Hong, "You are a black guard, we should have killed you directly!"

"Hey, what are you afraid of? This thing is clearly broken!" Lu Hong asked, puzzled, but the white-haired one didn’t bother with him and turned to run, fearing that the Black Guard would entangle him.

Was the Black Guard’s fierce reputation really that great?

Before Lu Hong could figure it out, Paxius floated over and landed beside Lu Hong, "Baron, are you in trouble?"

"I just encountered four white-haired scouts and couldn’t defeat them, so I sought your help."

After hearing Lu Hong’s explanation, Paxius nodded, "After the chaos flipped over, nearly a hundred thousand Snow Tribe scouts infiltrated the Empire’s territory. I had also killed quite a few. Baron, you should return with me to the Empire’s main camp soon and see what new arrangements Her Majesty the Queen has for this Roland Trial."

"That would be very good." Then Lu Hong inquired about the signal arrows.

Paxius laughed, "That is a kind of Magic Arrow from the Black Guard, only perceivable through the Black Guard’s special accessories."

Okay, another new piece of knowledge learned. Lu Hong nodded and then said, "Those white-haired ones haven’t run far, should we chase them?"

"No need, they will come back in a while."

"Come back?" Watching Paxius’s light laughter, Lu Hong was puzzled when four heads flew from a distant place, accurately rolling to stop at Lu Hong’s feet.

Paxius didn’t even glance at the objects from the sky, only shouting ahead, "Paxius, you seem slower than before."

"Slow my ass! I was just entangled by a pack of Fang Wolves." As the words rang out, a nearly two-meter-tall burly man burst into Lu Hong’s view.

The one called Paxius by Paxius was wearing a military long pants, his exposed upper body covered in muscles, besides that, two Fang Wolves hung on his body, apparently to support he had no time to deal with.

"Who is he? Why is he holding your distress signal?" Paxius glanced at Lu Hong, it wouldn’t take more than three moves for the four white-haired ones in his hand, this distress signal obviously couldn’t have been sent out by Paxius.

"First, get rid of those two wolves." Paxius didn’t bother with him, seeming still to be waiting for someone else.

"Damn, always playing coy." Paxius grabbed the wolf head biting on him, squeezed it firmly, and the wolf head burst, spattering blood plasma. Paxius, seemingly unaware of pain, forcefully pulled it off his body, and also tore off a chunk of flesh.

Looking at the two large bloody holes on his sides, Paxius activated the power of Holy Light, and soon healed the wounds, leaving no scars.

Having done all this, Paxius sensed around and cursed, "Luo Wei is always so slow every time, you don’t even talk to her about it."

"What do you mean, you big fool!" Before Paxius finished speaking, a pink figure riding a Magic Wand descended from the sky.

"Alright, now everyone’s here," Paxius clapped his hands to attract the attention of the two teammates.

Paxius and Luo Wei walked leisurely to Paxius’s side, the three of them standing in a row, their gaze focused on Lu Hong.

"Hey, hey, wait, he’s our superior?" Luo Wei looked at Lu Hong discontentedly, "Isn’t he a bit too... ordinary?"

"You’d better follow orders." Paxius spoke in a calm tone, yet it was greatly intimidating to Paxius and Luo Wei.

"What’s this about?" The trio of Black Guards’ maneuvers left Lu Hong somewhat baffled, "Did Konstantin command you to serve under me?"

Paxius shook his head, "Not the Great Emperor, we just received orders from above. From now on, I, Paxius, will become your most loyal servant." Saying this, Paxius knelt on one knee, pledging his loyalty.

Although Paxius and Luo Wei were discontent internally, hindered by the command from above, they also made a sloppy oath of loyalty to Lu Hong like Paxius.
