Chapter 580 Borrowing an Axe

Unfortunately, Chen Guan himself was not good at gathering information, and Gao Weiqiang was not here either. If they went to Tianyang City to transfer him here now, they didn't know where he would be teleported to, and it was probably too late.

Chen Guan could only make the best of a situation and continue searching for and killing the mysterious spirits within the glacier.

Although they don't drop anything, their corpses are highly nutritious for Ghost Eye and Rouge, causing their levels to rise continuously.

While Chen Guan and his group continued upstream, the Xia family did not rush to hunt down the Mystic Spirits.

They were waiting for the Xia family's troops to assemble. The Mountain-Splitting Axe had already been taken away, and the Water-Avoiding Sword could not afford to be lost again.

They must seize the Water-Avoiding Sword in one fell swoop; as for the Landscape Map, that's secondary.

Because there are many fragments of the Landscape Painting, no matter how hard they try, they cannot collect all of them, so there is no rush.

Moreover, fragments of the Heavenly River Map are useless now that they have a portion of the fragments in their hands, so they are no longer afraid of others taking away the Heavenly River Map.

More than half a month later, the Xia family's army had gathered 50,000 men.

These are all sixth-sense cultivators transferred from other grotto-heavens and secret realms. The Xia family has put in a lot of effort to seize the Water-Avoiding Sword and the Mountain-Splitting Axe.

Xia Huang, Xia Hua, and Xia Guagua led 50,000 Sixth Awakening cultivators to besiege the white-headed, blue-bodied ape-god Wuzhiqi, which can be considered as being well prepared.

The army was lying in ambush inside the glacier. Xia Guagua went into the water alone and lured Wuzhiqi out.

A fierce battle ensued on the glacier, with 50,000 sixth-level cultivators surrounding and killing a sixth-level secret spirit. Even with the help of Xia Huang and his two companions, they initially failed to gain any advantage.

Wuzhiqi was unparalleled in combat power in the water, and although his combat power was slightly weaker on land, he was still extremely terrifying.

Its body is impervious to blades and spears, and attacks from cultivators of the Sixth Sense have no effect on it. Its superhuman strength is also unparalleled. Even when facing a relentless attack from an army of 50,000, it remained extremely ferocious, causing the Xia family's army considerable trouble.

Xia Hua sighed, "If we had that mountain-splitting axe, killing Wuzhiqi wouldn't have been so difficult. Our secret techniques and treasures would have done almost no damage to it."

“Once we exhaust its energy, we’ll have a chance,” Xia Huang said.

He was determined to get the Water-Avoiding Sword; there couldn't be any more accidents.

The Xia family's army was indeed formidable. Although they lacked raw strength, they managed to hold off Wuzhiqi with their battle formations until it exhausted its energy.

boom!
Wuzhiqi unleashed his hidden power, shattering the earth and glaciers with a single punch. The terrifying force pierced through the unfathomable depths of the glacier, revealing a water system connected to the glacier below.

Wuzhiqi entered the water and immediately recovered his energy. He unleashed his power in the water, blasting out terrifying bursts of energy that caught the Xia family army off guard.

Seeing Wuzhiqi return to the water, Xia Huang knew that there was probably no chance today, so he could only announce a retreat and redeploy the battle plan.

As long as Wuzhiqi is in the water, they cannot trap him to death.

After such a battle, it will probably not be so easy to lure Wuzhiqi out of the water again.

"Big brother, why don't we go find those people from the Ziyang Legion? With his axe, we can kill Wuzhiqi," Xia Guagua said.

"I also want to find him, but I'm afraid he won't see me." Xia Huang was also helpless. His original plan was to get the Mountain-Splitting Axe first, and then kill Wuzhiqi, but now his plan has been completely disrupted.

"If we give him enough, he should still borrow the axe back, right?" Xia Guagua thought to herself.

Xia Hua rolled her eyes at him: "He knows we're determined to get the axe, so why would he lend it to us?" Xia Guagua suddenly realized: "He's afraid of throwing good money after bad, never to return."

“You’re a dog, but I’m not.” Xia Hua glared at him fiercely.

“If that’s the case, then his worries are unnecessary. How could people of our character borrow his axe and not return it? Here’s what we’ll do: you guys think of another way first, and I’ll go and borrow the axe from him. I believe he will be moved by my sincerity and lend me the axe.” Xia Guagua finished speaking and rushed out of the tent.

Xia Hua wanted to call him back, but Xia Huang waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Let him go. That person probably won't hurt him badly."

“But with Guagua gone, we have no way to kill Wuzhiqi anymore. We don’t even have anyone who can lure Wuzhiqi out,” Xia Hua said.

"Think about it some more, there's always a way," Xia Huang could only reassure him.

In fact, he really didn't have any good solutions. Wuzhiqi was not only skilled in water escape techniques, but he could also absorb energy from water and fight in icy rivers. His energy was almost inexhaustible, and it was virtually impossible to exhaust his energy with the help of his army.

Only by using a powerful weapon like the Mountain-Splitting Axe to directly cleave through Wuzhiqi's defenses can one kill him; otherwise, even a war of attrition is useless.

Although Xia Huang thought it was unlikely, he still secretly hoped that Xia Guagua could actually borrow the mountain-splitting axe back.

Xia Guagua, however, was full of confidence and used her movement skills to travel upstream along the glacier.

Even a fool would know that Chen Guan and his group are definitely hunting down the Mystic Spirits upstream.

Just like Xia Guagua, Chen Guan kept heading upstream to find any lone spirits and kill them with his axe.

Even a level 60 peerless spirit cannot withstand the destructive power of the mountain-splitting axe. If a vital point is hit, a few axe blows can kill a level 60 peerless spirit.

"Having a divine weapon is so awesome!" Chen Guan killed another Roaring Serpent King and ordered Ghost Eye to dive into the water to devour the Roaring Serpent King's corpse.

Ma Xiaolong had almost no room to maneuver and could only watch as Chen Guan killed the Mysterious Spirit.

"Someone's coming." Ma Xiaolong, who was on lookout duty, saw a figure approaching and immediately alerted Chen Guan.

“It’s Xia Guagua… He hasn’t given up yet…” Chen Guan looked around and realized that the person who came was Xia Guagua, and he was the only one there.

"Brothers of the Ziyang Corps, we've finally found you." Xia Guagua was overjoyed to see Chen Guan and Ma Xiaolong.

He had been running around for a day and a half, and finally found the person.

“Treasures of nature belong to the virtuous. If your Xia family cannot obtain them, it means you are not destined for them. Why force it?” Chen Guan said to Xia Guagua.

"You've misunderstood. I'm not here to steal your axe; I just want to borrow it for a bit," Xia Guagua quickly said.

"Borrow my machete?" Chen Guan was dumbfounded. You can borrow this thing? And can you even return it?

“Yes, we want to borrow your axe. We want to kill Wuzhiqi and get the Water-Avoiding Sword, but Wuzhiqi is too strong. Without the axe, we can’t kill him or get the Water-Avoiding Sword, so we can only borrow your axe.” Xia Guagua said matter-of-factly.

Chen Guan stared blankly at Xia Guagua, thinking to himself, "Is this a conspiracy? They want to trick me into taking the Water-Avoiding Sword, and then leave me and the Mountain-Splitting Axe behind?"

He simply couldn't believe that someone would reveal their family's secret like this; even a dog wouldn't be so honest.
