43 vines extended from Goumang’s body and bound the towering giant.

“He continues struggling.” Goumang felt somewhat exasperated while saying, “Rushou, it’s about time we return?”

“Hold on.”

Rushou carefully looked at the mountain and pondered. “That this mountain can stably exist in this spatial tide makes it quite a treasure. Let us store away this mountain first before returning.”

“Do it quick then!” Qin Yun urged with a smile.

“Store away the mountain?” The bound giant turned alarm. “The moment they attempt to store the mountain, they will discover the secret within. Yes, action has to be taken now!”

“Oh?”

Qin Yun, Goumang, and Rushou had a change in expression.

They saw the struggling giant’s aura suddenly weaken.

“His aura is weakening.”

“He’s already a corpse!”

Qin Yun and company were astonished to see the towering giant’s corpse. He had a powerful body that prevented them from killing him. Yet, now it suddenly turned into a corpse. This left Qin Yun unsettled as his wariness was pushed to the limit.

At the instant the giant turned into a corpse—

In a different region deep in the mountain, there were three potent auras billowing. Among these auras, one was wild and intractable, one ethereal and dark, and the final one was infinitely cold.

“Careful.” Qin Yun, Rushou, Goumang wore serious expressions. Rushou immediately said, “There’s another powerful being.”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Three figures flew out from beneath the mountain and appeared in midair.

The intractable aura covered the form of a stocky humanoid creature. He had four arms and nine ferocious dragon heads on his shoulders. The head in the middle was the biggest while the eight other heads were smaller in size. The dragon head was different from those of dragons in the Three Realms. It was more grotesque and evil-looking. Its four palms were also filled with infinitely sharp claws.

The ethereal aura belonged to a humanoid fog draped under a black robe. The fog was also looking at Qin Yun and company.

The icy aura was produced by a silver-haired, silver-eyed woman. She stood there like she was ruler of the world as she looked down upon Qin Yun and company.

The woman stood in the middle of the trio, making her standing apparently higher.

“I knew it. To dare entrench yourself in the spatial tide for such a long period of time to hunt other powerful beings, there’s no way it would be easy.” Rushou sent a voice transmission to Qin Yun and Goumang when he saw this. “Although we captured the giant, I still felt unease and guessed there might still be a trap. If there was a trap, it would likely be inside the mountain. Therefore, I made an attempt… Who knew it would bear fruit.”

“I’d prefer it not bear fruit,” Goumang turned extremely serious as he said via voice transmission. “There was one just now, but now we have three.”

“Brother Goumang, continue binding that giant. His sudden death is somewhat odd. He might revive at anytime,” said Qin Yun via a voice transmission.

“Don’t worry,” Goumang replied.

And in midair, the woman among the three figures said coldly, “To force my awakening, it serves to show that the three of you have considerable strength. However, this will be the end!” The woman extended her hands as countless icicles condensed around her, forming eighteen frosty halo discs that emanated a terrifying aura.

“Vanquish!” The women waved with both hands.

The eighteen frosty halo discs flew forward.

Qin Yun hurriedly put up a defense with his Misty Rain domain and broke off large numbers of drizzle flying swords to fend off the attack, but every frosty halo disc was extremely sharp. They easy sliced through the drizzle flying swords and went straight for Qin Yun, Rushou, and Goumang. Goumang immediately extended vines from his body.

The long vines interlocked with one another as they blocked the discs in midair.

Bam—

Although resilient, the frosty halo discs paused slightly, but still managed to slice through each and every vine. In a blink of an eye, eighteen vines were sliced through, alarming Goumang. “How is that possible!?”

“What terrifying strength.” Qin Yun was secretly alarmed. “That frosty halo disc is a more profound use of space-time. It should be something that can only be cast by someone with profound insight into the Great Dao of Space-time. Its blade can even slice apart the space-time continuum. Nothing can stand in its way. My Misty Rain domain is nothing compared to it, and even Goumang can’t stop it.”

“Pu… Pu… Pu… Pu…”

The frosty halo discs quickly sliced through the vines and approached Goumang.

Clearly, the plan was to finish Goumang first!

“Don’t struggle. It’s futile,” said the nine-headed being. With a flash, he lunged towards Rushou with a surging inferno. He struck down with his claw. “Crack!”

Rushou immediately defended with his Connate Cardinal treasure, Golden Tiger Claw.

“Dang!”

It was a heavy clash.

Rushou stumbled backwards, but the nine-headed being only grew stronger. His four arms began casting mystic arts as he charged once more.

“His close combat skills are above mine!” Rushou was somewhat alarmed.

“Whoosh.”

The humanoid fog in a black robe lunged forward with the nine-headed being. The latter’s target was Rushou, while the humanoid fog targeted Qin Yun.

“Your body is the weakest. You should be the easiest to kill.” The fog’s voice sounded as he attacked. “Come, enter my Tenebrous Divine Sea and become a part of me.”

“I’m the easiest to kill?”

Qin Yun directed with his mind.

Large amounts of drizzle sword beams spiraled around him, forming a sword array.

The black-robed fog slammed into the sword array and was stopped. However, he constantly eroded away the array which did not seem capable of lasting long.

“Although it’s not an array cast by my Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure, just this array cast by sword beams should be able to fend off the typical perfected Great Dao expert. Yet this being from a different universe… his entire body seems to be an enigmatic force in and of itself. It constantly eats away at my sword beams,” thought Qin Yun.

“Don’t resist. The two of them are useless and will die. However, your binding technique is quite impressive. I won’t kill you, but capture you alive instead.” The silver-haired woman looked at Goumang as her eighteen frosty halo discs kept slicing. The vines continued flailing after being sliced through in defense. Simultaneously, the sliced parts began healing despite not doing so as fast as they were destroyed.

Goumang said via voice transmission, “Brother Rushou, Sword Immortal Qin, the being from the other universe said that the two of you are useless and that they plan to kill you. I’m useful so they plan to capture me alive. It looks like I’m stronger than the both of you. Haha…”

“Sword Immortal Qin, quick take action. I can’t hold on much longer.” Rushou sent a voice transmission hurriedly, sounding the most pathetic. He was embroiled in close-combat with the nine-headed being.

Both of them were adept at close combat.

However, it was apparent that the nine-headed expert was stronger. He restrained him in every aspect and it would probably only be a few more seconds before Rushou was taken down.

“I’m slightly better than him, but I can’t last much longer either. This woman from a different universe has impressive attainments in space-time,” Goumang said via voice transmission as well. “Sword Immortal Qin, quickly take action.”

“Alright.”

Qin Yun’s mind stirred first. As such, the sword beam array immediately failed to stop the black-robed fog.

“Hahaha… prepare to die.” The fog laughed boisterously as it rapidly lunged for Qin Yun.

As Qin Yun watched him laugh, he waved his hand. It left the fog surprised as it felt something amiss.

A blurry Misty Rain Sword flew out from Qin Yun’s finger and instantly dissociated into three.

The three swords were the Heaven, Earth, and Man swords.

“Whoosh~”

The drizzle continued as it immersed the surrounding area, enveloping both the nine-headed being and the black-robed fog within. As for the eighteen frosty halo discs, they were left outside the array formation. As such, the silver-haired woman was also left outside the array formation.

The strongest protective array in the perfected Great Dao realm of the Three Realms, the Misty Rain Array, had appeared!

The moment the array formation appeared, the nine-headed being and the black-robed fog were trapped inside the array formation, with the silver-haired woman outside. They were separated by the array formation.

“Retract.” Goumang’s flailing vines rapidly retracted through the blurry Misty Rain Array which did not put up any obstruction.

“Array formation? Begone!” The eighteen frosty halo discs immediately bore down and sliced at the blurry barrier of the Misty Rain Array. However, it was extremely resilient, far stronger than Goumang’s vines! Every Great Dao had an inclination, and Qin Yun’s three Great Dao was the most suitable for defense. In order to transcend the Itinerant Immortal tribulations, he had placed most of his effort on his protective array formation.

By casting it with his Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure, the strength of the Misty Rain Array was terrifyingly potent.

The eighteen frosty halo discs continued their barrage of attacks, but they failed to do a thing to the Misty Rain Array.

“No good.” The nine-headed expert and the black-robed fog immediately found it ominous. Both of them immediately charged outwards.

“Kill the both of them first before we deal with that woman,” said Qin Yun.
