Chapter 1593 - 1591: First Encounter with the Battle God Temple
Since both of them are martial artists, unlike ordinary climbers, Wang Dadong and Qin Xue wore very light clothing, just two garments, and they didn’t carry climbing tools or ropes for safety.
When they encountered difficult places to climb, Wang Dadong would directly carry Qin Xue and use qinggong. Even scaling an insulated precipice was no problem for Wang Dadong.
What seems impassable to others was not very difficult for them.
However, it wasn’t completely without danger, as there were areas where the snow piled up and formed ice, which would be very slippery if stepped on rashly.
Especially in some cliff areas, falling from such heights of several kilometers could seriously injure or even kill Wang Dadong, not to mention Qin Xue.
But as long as they were careful, it wasn’t too frightening.
Therefore, the snow-capped peak that others need a long time to conquer could be easily done in half a day for them.
"Xiao Xue, are you cold?" The two stopped to rest on a rock on the cliff, and Wang Dadong asked as he saw Qin Xue slightly curling up.
Qin Xue shook her head slightly.
But Wang Dadong still proactively wrapped her in his arms.
By now, they had reached a height of about 6,000 meters, where ordinary people would experience severe altitude sickness.
Both of them were martial artists and their cultivation was not weak, so they didn’t feel it as much.
The temperature was also extremely low, likely reaching between minus ten to minus twenty degrees Celsius.
These temperatures were much lower than a freezer’s fast-freeze compartment.
This altitude was not one that ordinary adventurers could conquer.
Since surpassing 5,000 meters, they had hardly seen any climbers, just the perpetual heavy snowfall.
Sitting at their current position, they looked out at the vast mass of Annapurna Peak, cloud and snow beneath their feet. The contrast between the mountain’s grandeur and their own insignificance was stark.
Martial artists are like superhuman beings, especially powerful ones like Wang Dadong, who can destroy a building with a gesture.
Yet, in front of these mighty snow-capped mountains, they still seemed insignificant. Even if they used all their energy, they might only leave an unnoticed mark on this mountain.
Human strength can never compare to the vastness of nature.
Perhaps, at the level of the Queen of Loulan, capable of flight, such a powerhouse could truly be called strong.
For them, climbing this snow mountain would be as easy as flying up.
However, such a powerhouse, Wang Dadong had only seen once.
Perhaps, the Queen of Loulan is the only existing Void Tier being in the world.
Wang Dadong’s inner strength couldn’t heal Qin Xue’s injuries, but it could serve as air conditioning to keep her warm.
After a short rest, the two held hands and set off again.
"Young martial artists, you are entering a forbidden area. Do not proceed, or face the consequences." As they climbed to the 7,000-meter level, a cold voice came from above.
Both looked up to see a young man in white clothing standing on a large rock above them, gazing down at them indifferently.
Wang Dadong and Qin Xue exchanged a glance; the forbidden area mentioned by the young man must be referring to the Battle God Temple.
Being able to climb to the 7,000-meter peak without any tools and wearing only light clothing clearly marked Wang Dadong and Qin Xue as martial artists.
If they were ordinary people, the Battle God Temple likely wouldn’t have bothered warning them.
"Greetings, brother from the Battle God Temple. My beloved has suffered serious internal injuries and we’re here specifically seeking medicine," Wang Dadong said, clasping his hands towards the young man in white.
Upon hearing Wang Dadong’s words, the young man’s expression immediately changed. With a somber face, he asked, "How did you know I belong to the Battle God Temple?"
"I have my own ways of knowing," Wang Dadong replied.
He naturally couldn’t say that Mu Ming told him, as the main hall of the Battle God Temple was incredibly secretive, not to be easily divulged. Even with Mu Ming’s position within the temple, revealing it could cause considerable trouble.
"Hmph, since you know this is the Battle God Temple’s territory, I advise you to leave quickly. We don’t have what you’re looking for here!" the young man in white said coldly.
"Brother, please inform your Hall Master that we earnestly seek medicine," Wang Dadong remained courteous.
After all, they were here to ask for medicine and shouldn’t seem too aggressive.
"Inform the Hall Master? Who do you think you are? Since you refuse to leave, don’t blame me for ensuring you never leave this snow mountain!" With a cold snort, the young man in white jumped off the rock and attacked Wang Dadong without warning.
The young man looked no more than nineteen or twenty, yet he was already at the Superhuman Realm Intermediate level, showcasing the extraordinary nature of the Battle God Temple.
Overflowing fighting spirit surged forth, domineering and fierce, aiming to sweep the two off the mountain.
They stood with an abyss behind them, and falling would certainly mean certain death.
Seeing the other’s merciless attack, Wang Dadong’s face flashed with anger, and he activated the Vajra Invincible Body.
Golden light enveloped him and Qin Xue.
Boom!
A dull thud resounded as the young man’s fierce blow, armed with powerful fighting spirit, struck the golden shield, causing no harm to Wang Dadong, but instead rebounded him back.
The young man’s body slammed harshly into the snow wall, coughing up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief at the formidable strength that merely the protective gang qi could repulse him.
This clearly indicated that the newcomer’s power was above the Saint Realm.
"May I ask who you are?" The young man in white asked with a grave tone, wiping the blood from his mouth.
Every Saint Realm powerhouse has a significant background.
Wang Dadong clasped his hands again, "I acted out of necessity; I hope the brother doesn’t mind. Would you kindly inform your Hall Master that Hell’s Death Knell is here seeking medicine!"
This time, Wang Dadong directly revealed his identity as Hell’s Death Knell.
He hadn’t disclosed his identity initially to be polite, knowing that declaring himself as Hell’s Death Knell might provoke dissatisfaction from the Battle God Temple.
Hell’s Death Knell, so what? Is Hell’s Death Knell entitled to the medicine? I just might not give it to you.
However, since they were attacked first, Wang Dadong saw no need to be courteous any longer.
"Fine, wait here, I’ll inform the Hall Master!" The young man in white showed a flash of resentment before turning and disappearing swiftly into the vast snow.
