King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 644 - 209: Soul-Stealing Wall Art, Sky-Covering Arrow Rain: Divine Crossbow Formation (Part 5)

Shi Feiyang couldn't help but murmur to himself, "This painting feels strange, everyone be careful."

Xie Wen swallowed hard, saying, "Grand Squad Leader, why does it feel like this lady looks alive? It's terrifying."

Shi Feiyang's gaze was firm, and he said, "No matter how strange it is, we must uncover its secrets." Everyone, filled with tension and curiosity, slowly approached the painting, stepping into another unknown mysterious realm, with danger silently lurking all around.

Shi Feiyang instantly activated the Bright Jade Technique, and under the miraculous blessing of the Sunflower Saintess's supreme bloodline, the power of the Bright Jade Technique erupted instantly like a volcano.

A wave of extreme coldness seemed to surge from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell, spreading rapidly around him, attempting to freeze the eerie atmosphere pervading the corridor.

A faint layer of blue light appeared around him, representing the manifestation of the cold force of the Bright Jade Technique, freezing the air wherever it reached, creating a slight "crackling" sound. Immediately after, he performed the Divine Dragon Claw Divine Technique, with his hands emitting a chilling light, like two sea dragons charging with unstoppable momentum into the mural.

With a tooth-grating "creak," the echo mechanism hidden behind the mural was crushed by him.

At the moment the mechanism broke, a deafening dragon's roar suddenly echoed through the corridor.

The dragon's roar sounded like the roar of an ancient beast, carrying a destructive power, causing dust to fall from the walls and making the entire corridor tremble.

The sound instantly dispelled the demonic noise lingering in the corridor, and everyone felt a rush in their ears, as if waking from a terrifying nightmare.

"Grand Squad Leader, this... this is too terrifying!" Shi Xiong was pale, his voice trembling violently, and his legs couldn't help but shake, "Why don't we quickly call for the experts of the Heroic Sakura Association? This matter is too bizarre, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it!"

Xie Wen was also filled with terror, echoing, "Yes, Grand Squad Leader, the situation has been constantly changing on this journey, and the enemy's methods are strange. With more manpower, we can be safer."

Shi Feiyang's expression was calm, his gaze firm, comforting them, "Do not panic. Since we have reached this point, we cannot easily retreat. With the Bright Jade Technique and my martial arts skills, I will surely protect you. Moreover, the clues are urgent now. If we wait for experts to come, we might miss a great opportunity."

As they looked closer, they found that the poem in the painting subtly yet unmistakably revealed evidence of Emperor Wanli, Zhu Yijun, secretly constructing a dragon ship before his accession.

Every word of the poem seemed to hide an unknown imperial secret, like bombs buried deep in the dust of history.

This discovery made the case become more closely linked with imperial secrets, making the situation more intricate and complicated, as if they were sucked into a bottomless vortex. Every clue unraveled more mysteries, making it seem as if a giant conspiracy was hidden behind it, and they were gradually delving into its core.

Soon after, the group stepped into the ice cellar.

As soon as they stepped in, a bone-chilling cold surged like a tide, instantly sweeping them into a world of ice and snow. Inside the ice cellar, the walls and floor were covered with a thick layer of ice, reflecting a ghostly cold light in the dim light.

The Profound Ice Chain, like ferocious pythons, slithered from every direction at high speed, catching them off guard.

The chains whistled through the air, a sharp sound like the whispers of demons.

The poisonous cold fog filled the space, like a thick white ocean, obstructing vision and making breathing difficult, each inhalation feeling like countless tiny ice needles piercing the throat.

Shi Feiyang and the others were quickly trapped by the Profound Ice Chain and the poisonous cold fog, instantly falling into a desperate situation.

However, Shi Feiyang was fearless.

With resolute determination, he operated the Bright Jade Technique within him, and under the blessing of the Sunflower Saintess's supreme bloodline, he exerted the power of the Bright Jade Technique to its fullest.

He was instantly enveloped by a layer of crystal-clear icy aura, and the moisture in the air quickly condensed into countless tiny ice crystals, revolving around him like brilliant stars.

The ice crystals collided, making crisp sounds echoing in the ice cellar.

Shi Feiyang performed a move from the Tathagata Divine Palm called "Light Radiates Everywhere," with heat like blooming lotus in his palm, dazzling and radiant, forming a stark contrast to the surrounding icy aura.

The hot palm force clashed with the extreme cold of the Bright Jade Technique, creating a powerful force that made the world tremble. Wherever the palm force reached, the Profound Ice Chain shattered with a crisp sound, and the poisonous cold fog was instantly dispelled, turning into vapor that filled the air.

"The Grand Squad Leader is amazing!" Shi Xiong exclaimed in awe, his eyes full of admiration, but the fear hadn't completely faded, "But this place is too dangerous, we still need to find some help."

While dealing with the crisis, Shi Feiyang said, "Don't worry, I can handle it. Everyone hold steady, do not panic."

In the corner of the ice cellar, they found a frozen Siamese craftsman.

The craftsman's face was twisted, eyes wide open, filled with pain and fear, suggesting he endured great suffering before death. His body was frozen stiff, like a cold stone.

In his hands, he tightly held a blueprint for firearm improvement, which had become brittle in the severe cold, ready to crumble at the slightest touch.

This discovery added new clues to the case once again, making everyone feel more that the conspiracy behind this was unfathomable.

Shi Feiyang frowned, lost in thought, contemplating to himself: What kind of plot does the force behind this have? How should we uncover the truth amidst these layered crises?
