Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

Bang bang bang bang~~!

The White-Armored Army soldiers, clad in heavy armor and carrying several heavy weapons, weighed at least three or four hundred pounds each. Yet, under the charge of the Peerless Ghost, they were as fragile as paper, sent flying dozens of meters away.

Just as Wushuang Gui was about to press his advantage, the White Armor Army's reinforcements arrived.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!

More spears were fired from all directions at Wushuang Gui and Tianze, including some spears made of solidified ice.

Clang, clang, clang!

Tianze controlled the snake bone chains behind him to move in front of him, deflecting all the spears that were thrown at him.

However, the ice spears mixed among the bronze spears still caught Tianze's attention. He quickly shouted to Wushuang Gui, Qushi Mo, and Baidu Wang, "They are Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei's personal guards. Watch out for the ice spears they are throwing."

Unlike ordinary white-armored soldiers, these white-armored soldiers who can throw icy spears are the personal guards personally trained by Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei.

Although there were only a few dozen of these personal guards, each of them cultivated the same ice-based techniques as Bai Yifei and possessed cultivation levels close to the Innate Realm. When combined with battle formations, each of them could unleash the strength of the Innate Realm.

This small squad, if placed on the battlefield, would be an elite force capable of taking on a hundred men.

Moreover, their arrival also meant that Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei was already nearby.

Poof~!

The icy spears landed on the ground near Tianze and his group, instantly freezing into ice flowers.

"Roar~!"

When the Peerless Ghost was about to be hit by an icy spear, he had no time to dodge and was instantly frozen half of his body by the cold air contained in the spear.

Bang~!

Although Wushuang Gui broke free of the ice on his body in an instant, his skin turned ashen, and his left hand, which was connected to it, became somewhat stiff.

Although Wushuang Gui is exceptionally talented and unafraid of ordinary swords and spears, he also lacks sufficient resistance to elemental attacks such as ice, fire, and lightning.

Seeing this, Tianze shouted to Wushuang Gui, Qushi Mo, Baidu Wang, and the others, "Retreat!"

Wushuang Gui, Hushi Mo, and Baidu Wang immediately retreated deeper into the forest according to their original plan.

However, at this very moment...

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~!

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

With a sound of ice freezing, huge ice pillars blocked the path of Tianze, the Corpse-Driving Demon, Wushuang Gui, and Baidu Wang. Before Tianze and the others could react, the ice pillars were tightly connected, trapping them inside.

Then came the soft sound of horses' hooves:

Tap~ tap~ tap~ tap~~~!

A figure with a white waist belt, wearing a red and black coat, a simple yet flamboyant crown, pale skin, long white hair, and lips that looked like fresh blood, rode slowly on a path made of frozen vines.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~!

As the horse moved, the icy vines, under the skillful control of the newcomer, rapidly grew and spread forward, allowing the horse to land steadily in the circle of ice pillars.

"A rat that escaped from the dungeon, instead of thinking of returning to your Baiyue, dares to dream of being my enemy..."

Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei looked at Tianze with disdain, his voice revealing a chilling intent.

He then extended his right hand, which was even whiter and more slender than a woman's, and commanded in an unquestionable manner: "Tianze, hand over the 'Azure Dragon' scroll in your hand!"

However, instead of receiving a response from Tianze, Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei was attacked by Tianze.

Clang, clang, clang!

The two chains made of snake skulls instantly transformed into a pair of snakes, attacking from both sides and tearing at Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei.

Surprisingly, Bai Yifei neither dodged nor defended against Tianze's attack, but simply let it land directly on him.

However, the next moment, Tianze realized why Bai Yifei hadn't chosen to dodge or defend.

Bang~!

Bai Yifei's body shattered under Tianze's attack, turning into pieces of transparent ice.

Clearly, the figure Bai Yifei just appeared in front of Tianze was merely an ice sculpture disguised by him using special methods.

"It's been over a decade, and you still haven't made any progress!"

Bai Yifei's figure, dressed in a long red robe, was reflected on the ice pillars, forming a series of illusions that made it impossible to discern where he actually appeared.

"what!"

Bang bang bang bang bang~!

Enraged, Tianze controlled the snake skull chains, shattering the ice pillars and breaking Bai Yifei's illusions. However, no matter what he did, he could not find Bai Yifei's true form.

The snake-like creature with a skull, chains, long fangs, and five claws hovered around Tianze, wary of Bai Yifei's upcoming attacks, while shouting murderously at Bai Yifei:

"Bai Yifei, stop putting on an act!"

"If it weren't for you, how could my cultivation have stagnated for so long?"

Although Tianze looks almost the same age as Bai Yifei, he is actually almost a full cycle younger than Bai Yifei.

However, Tianze spent his best years of cultivation in the death row of Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei.

If Tianze hadn't been delayed for over a decade, the outcome of the power struggle between him and Bai Yifei would have been uncertain.

Chapter 172 The Battle Between Bai Yifei and Tianze

Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei's voice echoed around, mocking Tianze: "The victor is king, the loser is villain, it's all the same!"

"More than a decade has passed, how come you still can't understand this principle, Crown Prince Tianze?"

"Haha!" Tianze laughed loudly, then said coldly, "What a fine saying: 'The victor is king, the loser is villain,' it's all just like that!"

"In that case, we don't need to stand on ceremony with you."

Immediately, Tianze shouted to the three people beside him—the Corpse-Driving Demon, the Hundred Poison King, and the Peerless Ghost—"Attack with all your might! Don't let any enemy in this jungle escape!"

"Roar~!"

Wushuang Gui roared and began to destroy the ice pillars surrounding them.

Although the icy true energy left by Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei in the ice pillars could cause some damage to Wushuang Gui, these ice pillars were completely unable to withstand Wushuang Gui's monstrous strength.

Bang bang bang bang~~~!

Ring ring ring~~!

Under the attack of the Peerless Ghost Fist, all the ice pillars shattered into fragments smaller than a fist, which jingled as they collided in the sky and on the ground.

Ding bell~!

At the same time, Corpse-Driving Demon 27 also shook his soul-summoning bell, chanting a mysterious incantation: "Flesh returns to the earth, breath returns to the sky; blood returns to the water, tendons return to the mountains; breath becomes the spirit of the dead, all returning to the netherworld."

Bang~!

Ding bell~!

The Corpse-Driving Demon slammed his staff into the ground and roared, "Rise!"

Sizzling sound~ Sizzling sound~!

The corpses that the Corpse-Driving Demon had hidden around them suddenly crawled out from under the ground and roared as they attacked Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei and the surrounding white-armored soldiers.

Not to be outdone, the King of Poisons activated the poison array set up around him, and wisps of emerald green poisonous mist rose up in the forest.

At the same time, he gathered hundreds of venomous snakes around him and controlled them to bite at the white-armored army.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss~~~!" ×N

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and to a certain extent, they were completely restrained by the icy true energy of Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei. Therefore, the Hundred Poison King did not control the venomous snakes to attack Bai Yifei.

Even so, the Poison King's poison array still had some effect on Bai Yifei.

Although Bai Yifei can hold her breath for a long time, the poison gas of the Hundred Poison King can not only exert its effects through breathing.

Moreover, Bai Yifei is not immune to all poisons and cannot ignore the toxins created by the King of Poisons.

Outside the ice formation that Bai Yifei had used to trap Tianze and the other three, the well-trained white-armored soldiers brandished their spears, constantly dealing with the zombies and poisonous snakes that rushed in front of them.

They were heavily armored, and ordinary zombies and poisonous snakes posed no threat to them, but...

“Ahhhh~~!”

"Hold your breath! Try to avoid contact with the poison gas."

"don't want..."

"Ah~ Ahhh~~!" ×N

Although the White Armor Army responded correctly, ordinary White Armor Army soldiers were simply no match for the Poison King's poison array.

In just a dozen breaths, some of the white-armored soldiers, their faces turning pale, fell to the combined attack of the zombies and venomous snakes.

...

Upon seeing the miserable state of the White Armor Army, Bai Yifei's expression did not change much; he merely frowned slightly to show his displeasure.
