Chapter 492: Chapter 166: Invasion of the Ice Barbarians, Rebirth in Flames (Long Chapter)

Lady Yan in Cyan Robe turned her head and asked, "Will you die?"

Li Yuan said, "With Fourth Grade Blood, I can resurrect. After temporarily breaking through with Celestial Thunder, I’ll reserve a few drops of blood to try it out.

But if I fail, I don’t know how long the resurrection will take.

So, I need to leave a few letters before that.

If I fail, please, Sister Yan, help me deliver these letters."

"Alright."

Yan Yu always supported her man’s decision.

If it were in the Red Dust world, it would have been about adding fragrance with the red sleeves.

But here, it’s a chilling ghostly atmosphere.

Yet even in such an eerie setting, there’s still a pale delicate hand gently grinding ink.

What Li Yuan wrote was not hidden from Yan Yu. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The first letter he wrote to Zhenyan Xue, explaining his true identity, apologizing, yet also confessing that he truly regarded Zhenyan Xue as his wife. At the same time, he gave Zhenyan Xue an extra choice: come to the Tang Sect and live a good life while waiting for him. Of course, this was just an option; the decision was up to Zhenyan Xue herself.

The second letter he wrote to Yaojue, mentioning that he wasn’t dead and had broken through to the Fifth Grade. Now he was at Cloud Mountain Path but couldn’t come over. If there was danger, she could bring Cui Huayin, Li Ping’an, Jing Shuixiang, and others to Cloud Mountain Path. But unless absolutely necessary, she must not inform anyone...

At the end of the letter, he listed names like "Wang Hiran from Cyan Robe Building," "Si Fengru from Old Wood Manor," "Wang Linji, the Black Wolf Gang Leader," stating... they could be trusted.

In his heart, although Yaojue was once a maid, she was quite rational and very smart.

Now that she had become Gu Xuejian’s sister, she would certainly make better use of his letter.

The third letter he wrote was intended for Zhenyan Xiong, but was temporarily held by Tang Nian.

This letter was to prevent the Barbarians from entering Cloud Mountain Path.

Once the Barbarians invade Cloud Mountain Path, they would inevitably clash with the Tang Sect because the current Tang Sect had formed a "community of interests" with all the noble families west of Sword Mountain at Cloud Mountain Path.

But the Tang Sect and the noble families were definitely not a match for the Barbarians.

The content of the letter to Zhenyan Xiong was simple, and its general idea was "since the fighting is almost done, it’s good to occupy a few cities."

The last sentence read, "Do you think the Divine Spirit has punished me with a burden, or rewarded me with something to digest; beyond Cloud Mountain Path, there are many experts of strength similar to mine. If they knew of your existence, they might capture you as slaves; do not act rashly, acting rashly leads to no way out."

Signed as "Zhenyan Yuan."

This letter was a "request to sit down and negotiate," sent when the Tang Sect and the noble families of Cloud Mountain Path could no longer resist the Barbarians.

After finishing the three letters, Li Yuan prepared to attempt to fuse "fire."

He had a good sleep, then meditated for a day and a night, and only when all thoughts were eliminated and his mind was as calm as still water, did he carry the White Snake Blade and walked outside the Black Market Ghost Realm.

Celestial Thunder possessed him, the thunder light was dazzling.

Li Yuan’s skin was pierced until it was bright white.

Yet amid this brightness, there was a glaring red point.

Drip...

Drip...

Drip......

Li Yuan dripped a few drops of blood.

The blood droplets fell into the Jade Box, which had long been prepared.

Yan Yu glanced, and said, "The Yang Qi is strong, it’s Fourth Grade Blood."

Li Yuan withdrew the Celestial Thunder and sat quietly.

He waited for three days and nights, confirming that the Fourth Grade Blood did not "degrade" with his "decline," only then did he sit back into the Black Market Ghost Realm.

Took deep breaths, moving the fire from the lungs to the heart.

This fire was very mysterious, seeping out from the lungs.

Li Yuan grunted and continued inhaling Yin Qi, allowing the fire to reach the heart.

He felt as if there was a scorching hot knife hidden in his stomach, each movement was especially difficult.

Even in the deep winter of the Black Market Ghost Realm, he was still sweating profusely with steam rising.

Finally, after an unknown time, the fire reached the heart.

Li Yuan’s body suddenly tensed, his fingers and toes spread open fiercely.

He raised his head, straightened his neck, and let out a scream of agony unlike a human’s.

With his scream, a mouthful of fire spewed out from his mouth.

Immediately afterward, fire flowed through his seven orifices, the flames began to link with each other.

As if fiery and restless snakes were slithering and darting around.

"Ah..."

"Ha..."

"Aha, aha..."

Li Yuan raised his hand and grabbed the Cyan Snake Blade, suddenly dashing toward the outside of the Black Market Ghost Realm.

But he had just rushed out when someone grabbed his shoulder.

Lady Yan in Cyan Robe placed her pale hand on his shoulder, and at the junction of hand and shoulder, there was a sizzling "barbecue" sound, accompanied by the emergence of white smoke with a corpse-like smell.

Li Yuan turned around, hoarsely said, "Sister Yan, I’m fine."

Yan Yu then let go of her hand.

Li Yuan charged out of the Ghost Realm, rushing into the snowy wilderness.

Raised the blade, swung it.

Sea Calm Blade, violently erupted.

It was as if a terrifying beast had stormed into the tens of thousands of mountains,

this beast merely ran and caused an avalanche;

this beast took a bite to the left, leaving a gap dozens of feet wide, another bite to the right, and another mountain peak crumbled into fine powder, swirling in the snow.

Fire entered the heart, the heart pumped blood, then every drop of blood began to carry fire...

This was the true fusion of blood and fire.

The young man suddenly halted his body, and from all over his pores, blood arrows shot out, emerging fire...

And on the Cyan Snake Blade he wielded, fire naturally appeared as well.

The White Snake Blade was possessed by Celestial Thunder, surrounding the young man in a mix of fire and thunder light, following his instincts, desperately wielding his power, striving to let his body adapt to the state after the fire fusion, and hoping for fire to form Skills before his eyes.

It is unknown how much time had passed, the surrounding mountainous domain had turned into a rocky wasteland that ordinary people could no longer enter, all paths were blocked...
