Chapter 1105: Chapter 685: Assassination Target_2
Guhai seized the fleeting gap, as dragon claws condensed two golden blades, slashing fiercely towards the depths of the Stele Demon army, targeting those Tier Eight Stele Demons that had been hiding.
......
"Whoosh——"
A chill spread, like the breath of an icy dragon.
The temperature of the entire valley suddenly dropped, countless fine ice crystals condensed in the air, refracting a ghostly blue light in the dim lighting.
The movements of the Stele Demon group slowed under the cover of the cold, a thick layer of frost rapidly formed on their demonic bodies, spreading over their entirety, eventually turning them into ice sculptures of various fierce poses, frozen in place, maintaining their final grotesque postures.
Immediately, a barrage of ice arrows descended from the sky, crashing densely like hail into the Stele Demon group.
Those ice arrows, with their strong penetration power, nailed the already frozen Stele Demon bodies to the ground, shattering them into a thousand glistening ice chips, the black demon blood frozen into dark red ice beads before it could even flow.
Just like the team from the Ancient Dragon Race, the team led by Vilute, the Eternal Ice Silkworm, also encountered a siege from the Stele Demons.
Within San Tuo Mountain, thousands of Beastmen resembled torches in the dark, their robust physiques and surging life force particularly conspicuous to the perception of the Stele Demons.
The Stele Demons, like sharks smelling blood, surged from all sides, wave after wave, trying to overwhelm the team with their numbers.
However, compared to Guhai’s encounter of being directly transported into the midst of the Stele Demon army, the number of Stele Demons facing the Eternal Ice Silkworm team was significantly fewer.
Without any Tier Eight Stele Demons stationed, and the number of High Tier Stele Demons far less than the Ancient Dragon Race’s side, the Eternal Ice Silkworm team quickly formed a crushing formation on the battlefield once they stabilized their footing, mowing down the Stele Demons like rows of harvested wheat.
Kesler flapped his ice wings, thin as cicada wings, and hundreds of nearly transparent ice silkworm threads danced around him, slicing through the air, weaving an invisible web of death.
The robust bodies of the Stele Demons were like tofu in front of the ice silkworm threads, instantly cut into dozens of segments, the seams smooth as mirrors, black demon blood gushed out, only to freeze into ice beads before reaching the ground, tumbling down with a crisp sound.
While battling, Kesler discreetly glanced over at Broden not far away.
Broden stood in the densest area of the Stele Demons, strolling leisurely, the Stele Demons around him shattering like fragile glass under the chaos of silkworm threads.
Would Qin Tian act?
Kesler withdrew his gaze, pondering secretly.
He hadn’t informed Qin Tian in advance of his coming, nor did he tell Qin Tian about the impending alliance of the three Tier Eight Royal Families to kill him.
The reason was simple—he also wanted Qin Tian dead.
From the Beastman’s standpoint, Qin Tian was terrifying.
With the strength of a mere Tier Seven, he could rival the Behemoth War God, Amond; such a genius existed only once in the entire Cosmos.
If Qin Tian were not eliminated, he would become a major threat for the Beastmen in the future.
From a personal perspective, even though he and Qin Tian had made a deal, it was only under his capture by Qin Tian, compelled to negotiate to save his life.
Driven by the desire for Space-Time Amber, Qin Tian spared him and agreed to the deal, but the price was a hundred pounds of Tier Seven Ice Silkworm Silk.
That was a whole hundred pounds of Tier Seven Ice Silkworm Silk, more than he could gather alone, forcing him to trade his treasures with other tribesmen to amass that amount.
The loss pained him to this day.
So, both publicly and privately, he did not wish for Qin Tian to survive.
However, before Qin Tian’s demise, he still wanted to see the opponent clear his path, to kill Broden.
For this purpose, during the advance earlier, he discreetly contacted Qin Tian through their agreed communication device, a Sound Transmission Ice Conch.
With tribal kin nearby, he only sent a soul wave, and Qin Tian on the other end received his message, though not a word was spoken; he believed that, with Qin Tian’s intelligence, he already understood his intention.
Now, it was up to Qin Tian to figure out how to eliminate Broden under Vilute Elder’s watchful eye.
Kesler discreetly glanced at where Vilute stood.
Since there were no Tier Eight Stele Demons among the current Stele Demons, and the overall strength was clearly weaker than his own side, Elder Vilute had not personally intervened.
He stood in the center of the team, his ice wings slightly folded, his gaze calmly overseeing the entire battlefield.
Every time a warrior was about to suffer serious injury, an unexpected chill would appear out of nowhere, instantly freezing the Stele Demons, saving the warrior.
In the absence of a security threat, the Eternal Ice Silkworm warriors displayed terrifying combat strength.
The cutting of ice silkworm silk, frost breath, ice crystal arrow rain, extreme freeze aura—various ice abilities bloomed alternately on the battlefield, leaving the Stele Demons in utter devastation.
Pieces of Tombstone Spirit Fragments were collected, shining brightly in the dim valley.
Would he act?
Seeing the battle nearing its end, Kesler grew silently anxious.
Broden was a Tier Seven Royal Family member, formidable in power and keenly aware of danger.
If Qin Tian could not kill him in an instant, the awakened Broden would surely enter a full defensive state, and Elder Vilute would immediately sense the anomaly.
It’s true Qin Tian is strong, even able to rival Amond, but if Elder Vilute and four Tier Seven Eternal Ice Silkworms join forces, Qin Tian at best could escape using space techniques, having no chance to kill Broden afterward. Therefore, Qin Tian had only one chance—a fleeting, must-seize opportunity for an absolute kill.
