Di Xuejiang was stunned by the force of the blow. The opponent was not even at the Jade Body Realm, yet could deliver such a powerful strike. It seemed he needed to take this more seriously. Di Xuejiang's two lackeys quickly retreated upon seeing the two engage in combat. Since the opponent was heading straight for the Young Master, it was clear they did not regard themselves as a threat. Getting involved in their fight would not only be unhelpful but could also bring trouble to their Young Master.
"Not bad! You've got some strength; no wonder you dare to challenge me," Di Xuejiang said as they separated after the exchange of blows. He jumped off his mount, realizing that charging into battle while mounted would only put him at a disadvantage.
"Your Jade Body is nothing special; Young Master Di truly has a reputation that exceeds his abilities." With that, Shu Cang Ren charged at Di Xuejiang again. Shu Cang Ren was combative by nature, and the harsh environment around them made his physique naturally stronger than those from surrounding regions. Di Xuejiang had reached the Jade Body Realm, so his strength was unquestionable. Although Mo Wen felt surprised, having never fought against a Jade Body Realm cultivator before, he recalled that some of the Demon Beasts he had slain in the Lava Sea were even stronger than Di Xuejiang's realm. While he hadn't used all his strength in that last attack, it would have been devastating against those Demon Beasts. Yet, Di Xuejiang seemed to handle it with ease; it appeared that honing his combat skills required fighting against others.
"Shopkeeper Gao, who do you think will win?" A different group stood on the mountain peak where Di Xuejiang and his companions had been earlier, watching the two fighters below.
"I'm not skilled in combat; Qiu Zhanggui here is an expert in this area. You should ask him who has the upper hand," Gao Xue'e said, glancing at another person.
"Ha! Shopkeeper Gao is too kind; there’s also the Lonely City Lord here," Qiu pointed to a richly dressed middle-aged man beside him—Gu Liu Yun, the Lord of Snow City. At that moment, Gu Liu Yun frowned deeply; he struggled to understand what was happening below. The two fighters were not utilizing any cultivator skills but were instead relying on brute strength, hacking away at each other like two brawlers.
The ten or so individuals standing on the mountain peak were prominent figures in Snow City, all engaged in various trades. With someone like Di Xuejiang around, Snow City's commerce had suffered significantly. The snow region was one of the most barren areas in the entire Empire. Since taking office in Snow City, Gu Liu Yun had been developing trade through his connections. These people were all acquaintances of his. Although Di Xuejiang's group did not directly target these businesses, they preyed on customers, effectively cutting off these merchants' revenue streams. The Di Family had ties to Xiang Guo; while the family ancestor was reasonable, he could not harm his own descendants. Moreover, he had been in seclusion for some time, leaving most affairs to be managed by Di Family Grandmother, who was quite protective of Di Xuejiang.
Due to Di Xuejiang's presence, tensions between merchants and the Di Family were palpable; however, they feared Xiang Guo's influence behind the Di Family and were reluctant to take matters into their own hands. Even Gu Liu Yun himself hesitated to intervene. Everyone hoped someone would deal with Di Xuejiang, but few capable individuals ventured into Snow City—especially those above the Jade Body Realm. If it weren't for Gao Xue'e informing them that someone capable of handling Di Xuejiang had appeared, no one would have willingly come out at night to watch this fight; past attempts had always ended with disappointment.
"If that kid can beat that beast half to death, I wouldn't mind going down there to deliver a finishing blow," an elder gritted his teeth as he watched the battle below. The others nodded in agreement upon hearing his words.
