She began to search desperately for a way to escape, but Gu Hongchen seemed unwilling to give her that opportunity. His attacks grew increasingly fierce, each move aimed directly at Zhao Fengxia's vital points. Zhao Fengxia could only rely on the Holy Weapon to fend off his relentless assault, while Ye Tian felt a surge of emotions within him.
He made a silent vow to train diligently, aspiring one day to become a powerful figure like Gu Hongchen. On the battlefield swept by wind and snow, Gu Hongchen's eyes glinted with determination as he prepared to unleash his ultimate technique, the Snow Blade Slash.
With a single stroke, the blade was not yet visible, but the snow had already arrived. Zhao Fengxia stood opposite him, realizing there was no way to evade this strike. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes as she made a drastic decision. She detonated the Holy Weapon, the Hong Luo Umbrella, in her hands. Upon seeing this, Gu Hongchen's heart sank.
He understood all too well the immense power of a Holy Weapon's self-detonation; once unleashed, the consequences would be dire. He quickly activated the Sacred Domain, attempting to envelop everyone within it to mitigate the impact of the explosion. However, the force of the Holy Weapon's detonation was not something that could be easily neutralized. The area shrouded by the Sacred Domain was instantly consumed by a violent surge of energy, radiating blinding light and producing a deafening roar.
Even within the Sacred Domain, Gu Hongchen could not fully withstand the shockwave and was sent flying several miles away, his figure flickering in and out of sight amidst the storm. The others were even less able to endure the residual force, spitting blood and fainting one after another. The battlefield descended into chaos, and Zhao Fengxia had long since vanished without a trace.
After a long while, everyone gradually regained consciousness from their stupor. They saw Gu Hongchen standing tall on a mountaintop, hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of superiority. His tattered clothing revealed that his victory had not come easily.
Xia Qingyan felt somewhat relieved to see that everyone was safe and quickly turned to the Grand Elder, anxiously asking, "Is the Poison Widow dead?" Her eyes were filled with concern and anticipation; she harbored deep hatred for the Poison Widow's wicked deeds.
Upon hearing this, Gu Hongchen's lips twitched slightly as a complex expression flickered in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful: "That woman is truly decisive; she even sacrificed her Holy Weapon for an escape. Yet despite that, she still managed to get away."
Xia Qingyan's face displayed disbelief at his words. She furrowed her brow in thought for a moment before asking in confusion, "The Holy Weapon has such great power; she was closest to it when it exploded and should have been injured the most. How could she possibly escape?" Her tone was filled with perplexity.
Gu Hongchen gently shook his head and took out a doll-like Mu Diao from his pocket, offering it to Xia Qingyan.
The sculpture was so lifelike that it seemed to possess a spirit of its own. He explained, "She used a Substitute Puppet; it's one of her means of survival."
Though she had narrowly escaped, the cost of the Substitute Puppet was immense. At this moment, her state must be unstable, and it would take at least a year and a half of rest for her to recover fully.
At this point, Gu Hongchen sighed helplessly, his expression turning grave. He continued, "Even without the self-detonation of the Holy Weapon, with her strength in the Holy Realm, it wouldn't be easy to kill her. At the very least, I would have to pay a heavy price." There was a hint of resignation in his tone.
Then, abruptly shifting his tone, he expressed a sense of relief and urgency: "It's good that you are all safe; this allows me to return and report back to the sect leader with peace of mind."
The fact that the Hehuan Sect had acted at such a great cost revealed their intentions clearly. It seemed that their long-planned scheme was about to come to light.
