I Can See Your Combat Power

“Summon all the spiritual power users in the village to the ancestral hall!”

For Gong Quan, if he could acquire the Divine Jade from this Void Storm alone, it would enable Hànshuǐ Village to break out of its cycle of weakness and flourish. As the weakest faction on the banks of the Hànshuǐ River, he must display a fight-to-the-death resolve to stand a chance against the other two major cities!

Wherever there are people, there are conflicts. Even if they initially belong to the same noble family, disputes and divisions arise after cultivating the Four Imperial Spirit Seals of different attributes.

Perhaps overly pure Spiritual Powers had impacted their temperaments. The Gong Family of the Aquatic Clan and the Lei Clan of the Yun Clan had always been at odds. The disputing within the Four Imperial Spirit Realms was mostly instigated by these two clans’ spirit tamers.

If it weren’t for the interventions from the Lei Clan of the Yun Clan and the Huang Clan of the Earth Clan, these two clans might have become deadly enemies who would never associate with each other.

When Gong Quan arrived at the Youlan Valley with dozens of spirit tamers, the once bird-song-filled valley had been devastated by the Void Storm. All the greenery was wiped away by the storm, even the rocks and cliffs were not spared. The once verdant valley had turned into an abyss filled with broken stones, with the storm still wreaking havoc.

But the Spirit King of Hànshuǐ Village was not worried but instead delighted. Based on his previous experience, he determined that there must be at least thousands of pieces of Divine Jade within this storm. Even if they could only get eighty percent of them, it would still enable Hànshuǐ Village to produce thousands more spirit tamers.

In a few decades, if a few Spirit Kings could emerge, the long-forgotten ancient village becoming the elite clan of the Aquatic Clan would not be impossible.

Gong Quan waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: “Set up a domain here, don’t let a single fly in. The future of Hànshuǐ Village is right in front of us!”

Hànshuǐ Village’s weakness was not only reflected in the quantity of spirit tamers but also in their quality and combat power.

Among the dozens of spirit tamers, less than half were skilled in combat. The remainder were spirit tamers who had become scholars. Bringing them here was not only to boost morale but also to exploit their spiritual power to change this place into an ice domain to assist the water tribe in the battle that was to come. The real fighting would still rely on the other half.

They always needed to prepare for the worst. Thanks to Gong Shu, they had obtained the information first. However, given the keen intelligence of Fei Yan City and Hou Tu City, they would notice the movement of Youlan Valley within half a day at most.

To turn this advantage into reality, Hànshuǐ Village still had a tough battle ahead!

The surging Void Storm ultimately could not escape the eyes of the watchful. This news quickly reached the City Lord’s Mansions of Fei Yan City and Hou Tu City.

Just as Gong Quan predicted, the two most substantial forces in the Hànshuǐ Basin, upon receiving the news of the Void Storm, also gathered their troops. Led by the two city lords, they quickly rushed to the now glacier-like Youlan Valley.

Zhu Xiao, the City Lord of Fei Yan City, shouted after seeing the hellishly cold Youlan Valley: “Master Gong Quan, I know you’re in there, come out and meet me immediately!”

No one responded from within the icy prison. Only the eerily chilly air rose up as if expressing its disdain for Zhu Xiao.

Zhu Xiao never expected that the usually weak Gong Quan would stand so firm. Feeling embarrassed in front of his subordinates, Zhu Xiao shouted angrily: “Do you think you can stop the Fei Yan Army by building this ice domain? You’re dreaming! Four Divine Generals, melt this ice domain and drag out these sneaky rats!”

At this time, Fei Yan City had more than twenty spirit tamers, including City Lord Zhu Xiao. The strongest among them were the Four Divine Generals of Fei Yan City, Zhu Chen, Zhu Xuan, Zhu Liu, and Zhu Ang.

All four of them possessed the majesty of Spirit Kings and were exceptionally skilled in combat. After hearing the city lord’s command, they flew forward, their bodies ablaze with the Flame of Zhurong. They intended to break into the ice domain with the protection of divine fire and force Gong Quan out.

But before they even got close, over a dozen streaks of mysterious black light shot out from the ice domain. Luckily, the four of them were protected by the Sunburn, otherwise, they would have turned into ice sculptures at this moment.

Now Zhu Xiao could confirm that it was not just Gong Quan in the ice domain. He signaled the four Divine Generals of Fei Yan City to fall back and shouted at the eerie ice domain: “Gong Quan, it seems that there’s undoubtedly a Void Storm under the Youlan Valley, and it’s quite sizable. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have brought out all your assets from Hànshuǐ Village. But, Your Majesty, I am curious. Without you guarding it, how long would it take for the Fei Yan Army to flatten Hànshuǐ Village?”

“How dare you!”

From within the ice domain came a roar of rage followed by countless ice cones flying out towards Zhu Xiao’s vital points.

“Trivial trick.”

Faced with the ice cones filling the sky, Zhu Xiao had a look of contempt on his face. A deep blue flame rose around him, and the ice cones melted into steam before they could even get close.

“I’ll give you the duration of one stick of incense to dismantle the ice domain, then leave with your people. Otherwise, after today, there won’t be a Hànshuǐ Village on the banks of the Hànshuǐ River, and no place for the Aquatic Clan to exist!”

From within the ice domain emerged an ice disk, upon which stood Gong Quan with a grim face. After hearing Zhu Xiao’s threat, the Spirit King of Hànshuǐ Village finally couldn’t sit still. Perhaps he never imagined that a resource grab would escalate to the eradication of the village.

“You dare!” His eyes seethed with rage, Gong Quan pointed at Zhu Xiao and his finger trembled uncontrollably: “As long as I am here, don’t ever think of setting foot in Hànshuǐ Village.”

“Ha-ha! Of course, Hànshuǐ Village with a Spirit King like you is naturally not to be provoked.” Zhu Xiao dispersed the eerie flames around him, crossed his hands behind his back and said calmly: “But you need to understand that the world has always been fair. You can’t have everything. So, would you like to protect your dear villagers or stay here to grab the Four Divine Spirit Jades? Choose now.”

When one of the two Spirit Kings who had an equal level of strength established a domain first, that implies an absolute advantage. The City Lord of Fei Yan City, who loved his citizens like children, would of course not allow his fire kindred to fill the ice domain and be sacrificed. If Gong Quan persisted in monopolizing the storm, then he could only turn his attention to conquering Hànshuǐ Village.

“The Fire Clan is indeed becoming more arrogant these days!” Gong Quan spoke with a grim face: “Have you forgotten the teachings of Thunder God?!”

“You’re talking about teachings at this time?” Zhu Xiao said with disdain: “Wake up, old man Gong Quan. Thunder God has been dead for over a thousand years. Besides the Yun Clan living in the snowy mountains, who will still take that nonsense seriously? Don’t forget that your surname is Gong, and mine is Zhu. Lei is not our ancestor.”

“You ungrateful wretch! I will rectify this on behalf of Thunder God!”

Gong Quan, furious, transformed his endless chill into ghostly apparition, floating behind him like a ghost.

“It seems you don’t care about Hànshuǐ Village.”

Zhu Xiao’s Divine Seal in his hand exploded, and a giant flame totem column appeared behind him, confronting Gong Quan’s ice phantasm.

He gave the order loudly as well: “Zhu Liu, Zhu Ang! You two, quickly return to the city with the Fei Yan Army and surprise attack Hànshuǐ Village. Leave no man, woman, old or young alive!”

“You dastard!”

Numerous ice spectres, brandishing their claws, aimed at Zhu Xiao’s vital points. However, before they could get close, they were purified by the divine light on the totem, leaving behind but a whiff of ghostly air.
