Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

This is a natural ice valley with towering ice walls on both sides. The valley floor is covered with ankle-deep snow all year round. The cold air seeps up from the trouser legs, and ordinary people will feel sluggish after walking less than half a mile.

Chi Che pointed his spear diagonally at the ground, his footsteps silently treading on the snow. As he reached the narrowest part of the valley, a voice suddenly came from the ice rocks ahead.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop! This mountain is mine, this snow is mine, if you want to pass through here—"

Hill jumped down from the ice rock, trying to keep a cold expression. "Leave some toll... oh no, go back! The Frozen Road doesn't let you pass. Go back where you came from!"

Chi Che glanced at her, his tone calm and indifferent: "Get out of the way!"

"Why are you a 'car' just like that guy?"

Hill wasn't stupid; from the pool cart and her attire, she could tell that Yang Che, like her, was a deity incarnate in the mortal realm. With a bitter face, she said:

"Sister, it's freezing cold outside, your hands and feet will be so cold, it'll be so hard to fight! Why make things difficult for other working people? Wouldn't it be better to go back and warm up by the fire?"

"I said, get out of the way!" Chi Che raised his spear slightly, the tip of which glowed with a faint golden light, and warned again.

"Sigh, why are they all so stubborn!" Hill sighed, flexed his wrist, and fine ice flowers condensed at his fingertips.

"Alright, let's fight then. But let's make it clear first, we'll stop when we've made our point. If I can't beat you, I'll surrender!"

Before she finished speaking, Chi Che had already made her move. She touched the ground with her toes and shot forward like an arrow, her spear twirling as she aimed straight for Hill's heart.

It moved so fast that it was just a silver blur, and the wind and snow were split in two by the gun's wind.

"Damn, they're going for the kill right from the start!"

Hill hurriedly turned to the side and pressed his left hand onto the ice. "Ice Cone!"

With several cracking sounds, several prisms mixed with solid ice burst forth from the ground beneath Chi Che's feet, blocking her path of advance.

Chi Che spun in mid-air, his spear shaft sweeping across the ice cone. The immense force instantly shattered the ice cone, sending ice shards flying everywhere.

Chapter 487: What are you doing, risking your life?

"Star-Destroying Glass Bullet!"

Three light bullets were fired in quick succession, their sharp, piercing sound cutting through the air as they aimed directly at Hill's face, abdomen, and knees.

Hill frantically opened the Holy Snow Barrier, and a pale golden light membrane bloomed in front of him. The light bullets hit the barrier and exploded with a bang, causing the light membrane to ripple.

"Sister, is it really necessary to fight so hard? We have no grudge against each other!" she complained as she flicked her fingers, sending several ice spikes spreading along the ground and shooting towards Chi Che's ankles along the snow.

Chi Che moved slightly, his spear dancing around him, creating an impenetrable curtain of spears, the ice spikes shattering upon impact with the spear shaft.

She looked up at Hill, her tone still flat: "All you do is hide?"

"Are we just going to throw ourselves to our deaths if we don't run away?"

Hill's holy power surged, and ice cones rose up in sheets, like a dense forest of spears piercing towards Chi Che from all directions. At the same time, the barrier extended to both sides, attempting to trap Chi Che in the center.

Chi Che's gaze narrowed slightly, and his spiritual power suddenly erupted.

"Five Elements Spiritual Light Bullet!"

A massive golden orb of light condensed in front of her, then exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing a blinding light and shockwave that instantly shattered all the surrounding ice spikes.

As the smoke and snow dissipated, Chi Che stood there with his gun in hand, his clothes perfectly straight.

Hill gasped in astonishment, "Wow, that's pretty intense!"

She took a deep breath, pressed her hand against the pendant around her neck, and her body surged with both coldness and holy power.

"Holy Armor Covers the Body!"

Silver-blue snow mountain divine patterns spread down her neck to her cheeks, and the Ice Rock Holy Armor solidified on her body, while an ice spear appeared in her hand.

She leaped into the air, spear in hand, not caring whether it was a gun or a spear, and slashed directly at Chi Che, shouting, "Take this!"

Clang—the sound of metal clashing echoed through the icy valley.

Chi Che met the attack head-on with her spear, the immense force causing the snow beneath her feet to instantly sink by half a foot. The force transmitted through the spear was even heavier than she had anticipated.

"That's interesting!"

Chi Che uttered a low voice, flicked his wrist, and the tip of the spear slid along the icy spear, piercing straight at Hill's wrist.

Hill hurriedly withdrew his spear to parry, and the two engaged in a fierce battle, their golden and blue lights flashing alternately, with ice shards and spiritual light flying everywhere.

The two exchanged more than ten close blows, barely managing to stay even, but Hill's arm was beginning to go numb.

She knew perfectly well that her opponent's marksmanship was incredibly steady, with perfect power, angle, and timing; she was only holding on because of her home advantage.

"Sister, your marksmanship is amazing!"

Hill was forced back two steps, panting as he complained, "Practicing shooting every day? Isn't that boring?"

Chi Che didn't reply, but coldly said, "I'm not wasting time with you. Summon your guardian spirit!"

As soon as she finished speaking, golden light shot into the sky behind her, and the Nine Heavens Killing Child General, surrounded by a chilling aura, appeared behind her.

"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who!"

Pale golden holy light spread out from behind Hill, and Parvati, in her compassionate four-armed form, slowly stepped out, her lotus, holy water trident, and rosary simultaneously illuminating with golden light.

Without saying a word, the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General unleashed four golden spears from his four arms, wielding them simultaneously. Four golden spear beams shot out, hurtling straight at the two men.

Parvati raised his hand and summoned his trident. The trident collided with the spear's edge, creating a loud explosion.

At the same time, Hill charged forward again with his Ice Rock Spear, engaging Chi Che in a fierce battle.

In mid-air, the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General brandished his four golden spears, engaging in a fierce battle with Parvati's magical weapons.

Golden light and icy blue clashed and collided in the icy valley, causing the ice walls to crumble and snow to dance in the air.

Hill grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. The Nine Heavens Child Killer's marksmanship was too dense, with four guns attacking in turn, leaving Parvati barely able to defend.

The attacks from below were becoming increasingly fierce, and several fine cracks had already appeared in her Ice Rock Holy Armor.

"No, no, if we keep playing like this, we'll be finished sooner or later. What should we do?" Hill muttered to himself.

After exchanging several more blows, Chi Che seized an opening in Hill's defenses and poked the tip of his spear into her shoulder armor.

Golden light burst forth, the Ice Rock Holy Armor shattered instantly, and Hill was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the snow and sliding a long distance before coming to a stop.

"Ouch...it hurts!" Hill propped himself up on the ice, his shoulders numb, and his divine power was momentarily disrupted.

Hill looked up and saw Chi Che slowly raise his hand, while the Nine Heavens Child Killer General behind him flung out a huge Heavenly Soldier Map.

From the flowing waters of the Heavenly River in the Heavenly Soldier Diagram, countless heavenly soldiers and generals emerged, densely covering the entire sky above the ice valley.

Spears and halberds stood like a forest, their killing intent soaring to the sky. The oppressive aura of heaven was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe. This was Chi Che's signature killing move—the Diagram of 360,000 Heavenly Soldiers!

Hill looked at the countless illusory figures of heavenly soldiers and swallowed hard. She could feel the destructive power of that force. Not only did they call for reinforcements, but they also called for 360,000 people!

She bit her lip; she knew she couldn't win in a fight. Even if she desperately activated Durga, she could only hold out for a few minutes at most, and if she pushed him too far, he might fight her to the death…

She withdrew her guardian spirit, brushed the snow off her body, stood up from the ground, and ignoring the spear pointed at her from the opposite side, threw down the ice spear and raised her hands.

"I'm done fighting! I surrender!" she shouted crisply and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

It's only a few dollars a month, why risk your life?

The heavenly soldiers and generals paused for a moment, and Chi Che's carriage slightly faltered, seemingly not expecting her to surrender so readily. His spear remained pointed at her. "Are you sure you want to surrender and admit defeat?"

"Why stubbornly persist if you can't win?"

Hill spoke with an air of self-righteousness, rubbing her aching shoulders, and stepped aside, "You go in! I should slip away..."

Chi Che remained silent for a few seconds, then sheathed her spear. The countless heavenly soldiers and generals slowly dissipated, and the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General returned to her body.

“Fine, I won’t kill you, but you can’t leave!” Chi Che said calmly.

"What are you doing?" Hill clutched her chest and backed away, looking frightened. "You wouldn't be after my good looks, would you?"

Chi Che: "..."

Humans with good nerves...

She swung out a golden rope, and just as Hill realized something was wrong and tried to escape, she was tightly bound.

She tried to summon her guardian spirit, but she couldn't sense any divine power within her; it was sealed...

"Don't waste your energy, this is a God-Binding Rope. Even gods can't break free from this rope, so there's even less chance for you!"

"Damn it! You have no sportsmanship! I've already surrendered, and you're supposed to be a god! How can you do this?"

“You did surrender, so you are now a prisoner…”

Chi Che walked past her calmly, gun in hand, and said, "Wait here. I'll come back and take you home after I'm done with this!"

"no!"

Hill hurriedly got up and followed, "I can't use my divine power right now, and I'm tied up. What if some villains find me after you leave and try to take advantage of my beauty?"

"So what do you want to do?"

"Um... Sister, please let me go? I promise I won't run away!"

"no……"

"Then I'll go with you, you must protect me!"

"..."

Chapter 488: Sword God vs. Sea God

Cangming Road.

Here, a sheer cliff plunges into the deep sea on one side, while raging waves crash against the reefs on the other, with mist swirling all year round.

On the high platform of the reef, Landos' dark blue cloak fluttered in the wind, the Abyss Fang Trident rested beside him, and hundreds of armored marines stood behind him.

Seeing the iron soldier approaching through the fog, he frowned slightly and waved his hand, "Take him down!"

"kill!"

Marines roared as they charged down the reef, swarming towards the soldiers emerging from the road ahead.

Tie Zu did not stop walking. His hands hung at his sides, and he did not even touch the hilt of his sword. An invisible sword aura surrounded him.

The soldier at the forefront had just raised his sword when a bloody line suddenly appeared on his neck, before he could even see how his opponent had made the move.

People behind continued to surge forward, but anyone who stepped within three feet of the Iron Soldier would have their armor slashed by the silent sword energy, their neck cut open, and they would fall to the ground one after another.
