Chapter 10, a fierce battle suddenly erupts on the snowy mountain.
As the maid stood ready to be slaughtered, a radiant monkey hand grasped the cold katana with great force, causing the bright blade to suddenly feel weightless, and ultimately, as if made of paper, it was snapped in two by the radiant monkey hand
Tai Shici was just about to call the Golden-Haired Monkey to set off when, before he could even think, the Golden-Haired Monkey had already shot away like a flash of golden light towards a different scene. Tai Shici could only exert himself to give chase. Naturally, he could not catch up.
Thus, as time elongated, the peril transformed into reality, and blood from the two maidservants splattered onto the snow, resembling blooming plum blossoms. Before long, the two maidservants would lie dead on the spot.
As the colorful-clad woman turned her body, Taishi Ci suddenly realized: this woman was the goddess he had seen in his dreams three years ago. However, at this moment, the goddess was not wearing a single piece of undergarment, only a garment of seven colors that draped over her body, revealing her exquisite and graceful form in its entirety
Facing the ever-rising moon, Tai Shici sat down in the snow, his eyes moist as he focused on ... ! ... Seeing the bright moon, he could only think of his mother’s affectionate, bright eyes
As night fell, a moon as large as a grinding disc rose from beneath the feet of Taishi Ci. Gazing at the moon, which shone with a brilliance akin to that of a gem, Taishi Ci, standing atop the snowy peak, suddenly thought: Oh, today is the night of the fifteenth day of the eighth month. In the next moment, a sense of sorrow filled his heart, realizing that while the moon was full, the people were not.
The golden-haired monkey, sensing the sudden change in Tai Shici's emotions, opened its eyes and scrutinized him. It did not understand, after all, it was a beast and not a human, lacking the complex emotional feelings and fluctuations that humans possess, even though it was quite intelligent
After a stick of incense, Tai Shici swiftly approached the golden-haired monkey hiding in the shadows. This area was a fruit grove, adjacent to a tea plantation. The fruit trees were laden with blue fruits, which were the extraordinary kiwis that Tai Shici often consumed for replenishing energy and invigorating the spirit. Thus, a warm feeling arose in Tai Shici's heart: it turned out that the golden-haired monkey had to travel such a long distance each time to bring him the kiwis.
Despite being in a perilous situation, the woman in colorful attire continues her sacrificial dance with unwavering focus. Waves of pure white light radiate from her graceful figure, as if she herself is a bright moon, shining brilliantly. ... The bright moon hanging in the night sky begins to shy away, retreating into layers of clouds ...
Two assailants engaged in a stealth confrontation against the equally concealed Panlong Spear. The martial skills of the Panlong Spear were evidently superior; however, faced with the relentless entanglement of the two assailants, he was momentarily unable to extricate himself to assist his companion in eliminating the enemy. The lethal techniques of the Panlong Spear were unleashed in succession, and the assailants' blood splattered onto the pristine ground, resembling flowers from hell.
As a man in black fell, a deep male voice echoed out of nowhere: "Leave one alive!" At that moment, the golden-haired monkey had already seized the sharp and gleaming short sword from another man in black. Tai Shici, holding his sword, was about to strike, while the two injured maidens stood still, panting heavily, drenched in fragrant sweat, with blood flowing continuously from their wounds
Certainly, he also harbors the feelings of a normal person: the lofty and transcendent sentiment of standing atop the peak, surveying all the mountains as small.
Uncertain how much time had passed, Tai Shici suddenly noticed that a snow peak on the snow-capped mountain was radiating a seven-colored halo. Amidst the shimmering halo, an ice palace suddenly appeared.
The tea grove beside the kiwi tree is even more remarkable: the leaves of the tea trees are crystal clear, shining even more brilliantly under the bright moonlight
Perched on a branch of the kiwi tree, a person and a monkey gazed from afar at the extraordinary scene in the square before the Ice Palace: it seemed as if a ritual was being held in honor of the books. A woman dressed in colorful garments knelt devoutly on a white mat before an incense altar. Nearby, two women clad in white light armor, with swords at their waists and veils covering their faces, moved back and forth, bustling about. They resembled delicate white butterflies dancing gracefully.
The bright moonlight, the world blanketed in white snow, is as tranquil as a child's ice palace, making everything appear even more ethereal and graceful in front of the ice palace square
On the other side of the conflict, although the strengths of both sides were roughly equal, the two maidservants were at a disadvantage due to their physical exhaustion. Under the relentless and fierce attacks from the enemy, they were forced into a defensive position, facing numerous dangers.
Tai Shici gazed intently and faintly saw tiny human figures moving in front of the Ice Palace. At this moment, the appearance of the strange realm also attracted the attention of the golden-haired monkey, which leaped down from Tai Shici's shoulder and stared at the unusual scene with bright eyes
Just as a person and a monkey were immersed in the wonderful scene, two dark shadows suddenly flew swiftly from the south. The two shadows, like black birds, were about to land in front of the Ice Palace Square, when a series of intense sounds of weapons clashing echoed in all directions
Tai Shici focused his gaze and saw a gleaming red Dragon Spear blocking the path of two shadowy figures. Oh, it turned out that there were not just two individuals; there were actually two hidden companions as well. The concealed duo wielded their katana to counter the Dragon Spear, while the other two figures in black resumed their forms and charged towards the dancing woman in colorful attire
After a while, the woman in colorful garments rose to light incense, the swirling smoke drifting ethereally towards the moon in the sky. With her hands clasped together at her chest, she offered a prayer before beginning to dance gracefully.
The ferocity of the men in black left Tai Shici astonished, and before his shock had subsided, the bodies of the two men in black transformed into two pools of foul black water. A typical case of destroying evidence... cutting off all possible existing leads
The man in black gripped his knife with both hands and leaped down to strike. The maid raised her sword to block, and with a resounding "clang," the longsword was knocked away. The man in black let out a sinister laugh, and his katana transitioned from a downward slash to a sweeping motion, a cold gleam aimed directly at the maid's neck.
The two lightly armored guards beside the woman in colorful attire, upon witnessing the situation, let out a soft shout and leaped forward with their swords to confront the malicious intruders. The fierce clash of the curved sabers and the glinting long swords created a moment of intense struggle, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
A broken katana fell to the ground, while a golden-haired monkey floated in the air, making faces at the man in black. The man in black, wide-eyed and about to unleash his fury, suddenly felt a green sword pierce his heart. In his final moments, he saw the assailant: long black hair flowing freely, a pair of strikingly cold eyes fixed on him, and a sharply defined mouth curving into a subtle, artistic smile.
Can one see people on the snow-capped mountains? It is likely that the golden-haired monkeys, having lived on Fire and Ice Island for over ten years, are seeing them for the first time. Observing the varied expressions of the golden-haired monkeys, Taishi Ci secretly speculated in his heart.
The deep male voice's reminder caused Taishi Ci to halt his assassination attempt. However, in an instant, the man in black opposite him discarded his weapon, swiftly drew a dagger from his waist, and with a fierce glint in his eyes, plunged the blade into his abdomen: slashing left and right, he finally thrust it into the area of his heart. Blood gushed from the wound, and intestines spilled out uncontrollably.
Four assailants, two battle groups, the two invisible assailants are tightly entangled by the equally invisible Panlong Spear, which intends to rescue the two maidens in peril. However, the two invisible assailants are willing to sustain injuries to thwart the actions of the Panlong Spear. Although the Panlong Spear possesses superior skills, without the assistance of the Golden-Haired Monkey and Taishi Ci drawing their swords, they would ultimately face defeat.
