Chapter 683 217: Yili Rescues Her Sect: Extreme Weather and Gang Ambush (Part 4)

They broke through the Jinyi Guard's encirclement amidst the chaos and rushed toward the banks of the Yellow River. Along the way, Shi Feiyang moved swiftly, like a black whirlwind, with Yang Xue'Er and Shi Xiong closely following behind. The three coordinated seamlessly.

At the Yellow River's edge, Shi Feiyang gazed at the surging waters, pondering silently. He knew well that the Jinyi Guard would not give up easily and would surely pursue them.

To thwart their pursuit, Shi Feiyang conceived a plan.

He recalled the Western Fire Dragon Oil he carried, a highly flammable substance with tremendous explosive power. Once ignited, its impact was astounding.

Thus, he retrieved the Western Fire Dragon Oil from a mysterious deerskin pouch at his waist that ordinary people couldn't see and cleverly buried it under the ice layer to set up a trap. With everything prepared, he quietly awaited the arrival of the Jinyi Guard, his gaze steady and confident.

Before long, the Jinyi Guard caught up with them.

Lv Yuan, Cai Kun, and Xiang Laixiang led the group onto the ice surface, thinking that Shi Feiyang and his companions had nowhere left to escape, grinning smugly. Lv Yuan laughed out loud, "Shi Feiyang, today you won't escape even with wings!"

However, just when they were gloating uncontrollably, Shi Feiyang decisively lit the fuse.

A thunderous explosion echoed, shaking the heavens and earth.

The Western Fire Dragon Oil beneath the ice instantly detonated, shattering the icy river into pieces with strong shockwaves.

The ice surface fractured, as if the sky and earth were collapsing, huge chunks of ice flying everywhere.

The Jinyi Guard fell into the icy river one after another, letting out cries of misery, their sounds echoing along the Yellow River, full of fear and despair.

Although Lv Yuan, Cai Kun, and Xiang Laixiang were lucky enough not to fall into the river, they were left in tatters, in a pitiful state.

They looked at the ghastly scene before them, their faces white as paper with fear, legs weak and collapsing to the ground, clutching their heads and crying, entirely devoid of their previous arrogance. At this moment, a carrier pigeon sliced through the sky like black lightning, speeding toward them.

Shi Feiyang looked up, his expression slightly shifting, reaching out to catch the pigeon steadily.

He swiftly took the note tied to the pigeon's leg and upon unfolding it saw the words instantly come into view. His face changed dramatically, resembling the ominous sky before a storm.

After a brief contemplation, he turned around and said to Yang Xue'Er and Shi Xiong, "Xue'Er, Shi Xiong, head north first, I will join you shortly."

With that, he didn't care how Yang Xue'Er and Shi Xiong reacted and took a deep breath, activating the "Supreme Lightness Technique."

His figure flickered, like an illusion, his steps astonishingly swift, leaving faint afterimages with each step, quickly merging into the air and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Leaving Yang Xue'Er and Shi Xiong to look at each other, full of confusion over Shi Feiyang's sudden departure.

Yili embarked alone into the towering and perilous mountains.

The peaks towered one after another, the jagged rocks resembling hibernating monsters, emanating an intimidating aura.

She originally rushed forward with determination, never expecting the sudden change in weather.

In an instant, the sky seemed overturned by an invisible giant hand, as dark clouds rolled in, quickly blocking out the sunlight.

The world sank into a gloomy murkiness. Then, a sudden blizzard swept through like a fierce demon.

Gales roared like countless beasts from Hell, raging wildly in the mountains, tearing mercilessly at everything around.

The wind howled like the cries of ghosts and wolves, pounding the eardrums painfully, as if attempting to devour everything in this world.

Snowflakes danced through the sky, swirling and dense like goose feathers, yet resembling sharp blades, tearing through the chaotic heavens and earth.

In an instant, the world was dyed in white, seemingly leaving only the endless wind and snow between heaven and earth.

Temperatures plummeted sharply, resembling a deep plunge into a frozen abyss.

Yili's horse, under these harsh conditions, was long exhausted. Its eyes were filled with fatigue and fear, its four hooves trembling like sifting chaff, the breath from its mouth instantly condensing into white mist, swiftly blown away by the fierce wind.

Yili not only had to find a sheltered place in the vast wind and snow to avoid the piercing cold wind and the onslaught of the blizzard, but also had to think of ways to maintain body temperature in this harsh environment to prevent frostbite.

Every breath felt the icy air pouring directly through the throat into the lungs, chilling to the bone.

She bit her lip fiercely, nearly sinking her teeth into her lower lip, her gaze full of resoluteness, trudging arduously through the snowstorm.

All around was a vast sea of white. At this moment, she was alone in this piece of the world, the wind howling, overshadowing all sounds, loneliness and despair surging toward her like tides.

However, Yili, relying on her indomitable will and keen sense of direction, moved step by step through the snow.

Every step seemed so difficult, her feet sinking into thick snow, every withdrawal requiring great effort.

Yet her eyes were filled with unyielding strength, declaring through this harsh natural environment that she would not submit.

Thus, after enduring countless hardships and dangers, she finally escaped the extreme weather and overcame an ordeal, eventually arriving at a small town. Yet peril had not gone far, the dark hand of fate quietly reached for her once again.

Upon entering the small town, Yili was targeted by an enemy gang.

This gang was a branch secretly colluding with the Northwest Nine Poison Sect of the Northwest Sword Manor.
