Chapter 1595 - 1593: One of the Nine Great Battle Saints
However, Qin Xue’s body remained rosy as jade, likely due to Wang Dadong using his Inner Strength to keep her warm.
This type of sheer cliff climbing already exhausts Inner Strength enormously; moreover, Wang Dadong was carrying someone and still had to use Inner Strength to maintain Qin Xue’s body temperature, so he naturally couldn’t afford to waste any Inner Strength on himself.
Luckily, he didn’t feel too cold because he was moving.
Although one misstep could lead to being smashed to pieces, Qin Xue was not afraid at all. With one arm around Wang Dadong, she gently reached out with her other jade-like hand to wipe away the frost accumulating on his eyebrows.
But the temperature here was too low, likely already plummeting to thirty degrees below zero, so soon after Qin Xue wiped off the frost, Wang Dadong’s eyebrows quickly froze over again.
In the end, Qin Xue simply held Wang Dadong tightly, trying to press her body close to him, so her body heat could be transferred to his.
Despite being a very subtle action, it made the cold Snow Mountain seem to warm up.
Soon, the two continued climbing another five hundred meters.
This five hundred meters consumed nearly half of Wang Dadong’s Inner Strength.
Mu Jin stepped on a slightly protruding ice block, looked down with her beautiful eyes, and saw that Wang Dadong had not been shaken off by her. A hint of approval appeared in her eyes.
However, she didn’t intend to let Wang Dadong off so easily and suddenly sped up again.
After climbing another hundred meters, even Wang Dadong started to pant heavily.
Two-thirds of his Inner Strength was already depleted.
After chasing for a distance, Wang Dadong had to stop to catch his breath; otherwise, the True Qi in his body wouldn’t gather, and he might fall with Qin Xue.
By this time, the summit should be less than a thousand meters away.
It indeed lived up to its name as the world’s tenth greatest Snow Mountain, which no one had conquered in twenty years. Only by being here did one realize the difficulty of conquering this mountain.
Even a super strong person like Wang Dadong felt a sense of powerlessness, let alone ordinary climbers.
At the same time, it highlighted Mu Jin’s strength.
Mu Jin still appeared very composed at this time.
Perhaps it was because she had long been familiar with this Snow Mountain by frequently ascending and descending, and her Qinggong had reached an extraordinary realm.
After a few light breaths, Wang Dadong once again used both hands and feet to continue climbing upward.
To conserve Inner Strength, Wang Dadong even temporarily shut off his body.
Without the Sacred Body, Wang Dadong’s body was no longer Vajra Indestructible. He had to expend great effort to dig his fingers into the hard ice layer.
Soon, his fingers cracked open, leaving bright red marks on the Ten Thousand Year Frost that never melted.
"Dadao, maybe we should give up..." Qin Xue saw Wang Dadong like this and felt heartache. She would rather suffer herself than see Wang Dadong struggling so hard.
"Don’t worry, Xiao Xue, this level still won’t stump me!" Wang Dadong’s expression remained indifferent, as if he couldn’t feel the cold or pain.
Finally, Mu Jin halted her steps again.
"Don’t go any further, your Inner Strength is almost exhausted; ahead lies only the path to death." Mu Jin’s expression remained indifferent.
However, a hint of surprise arose in her heart, "Why am I reminding him?"
Actually, Mu Jin originally intended to let Wang Dadong fall from the Snow Mountain.
After all, Wang Dadong knew the location of the Battle God Temple’s main hall and shouldn’t be allowed to leave alive.
The location of any faction’s base is an absolute secret; once leaked, it means the base is no longer safe, often leading to its abandonment.
But the peak of the Snow Mountain was the main hall of the Battle God Temple, built there because of the Ten Thousand Year Frost growing there, which had magical effects on Combatants.
Therefore, abandoning this base was out of the question for the Battle God Temple.
The best solution was to make sure Wang Dadong couldn’t leave the Snow Mountain alive.
Even Mu Jin didn’t know why she warned Wang Dadong.
Perhaps she was moved by Wang Dadong’s determination.
"There’s a foothold ahead, if you can reach there, you’ve passed." Mu Jin sighed and quickly climbed upward.
As a Battle Saint guarding the Sacred Temple, Mu Jin naturally prioritized the Battle God Temple’s interests. She gave Wang Dadong a chance, and if he couldn’t seize it, it would be due to his lack of ability.
After climbing another two hundred meters, Mu Jin leaped lightly onto a platform.
The platform was very narrow, approximately half a meter square, barely able to accommodate two people standing.
Standing on the platform, Mu Jin could no longer see what was happening below.
After a full ten minutes without seeing Wang Dadong, Mu Jin sighed lightly. Given Wang Dadong’s state, it was impossible for him to reach this point, and they might have already fallen off the cliff, shattered to pieces.
After another five minutes, Mu Jin finally shook her head; it seemed impossible for Wang Dadong to come up.
She prepared to continue climbing upward.
At that moment, a figure shot up from below.
Wang Dadong had naturally seen this foothold and, relying on his last bit of strength, used the Cloud Ladder Leap, landing his feet on the platform.
But the platform was already very small, barely accommodating two people, and Wang Dadong was holding someone in his arms, causing his body to fall backward involuntarily.
Using the Cloud Ladder Leap required gathering a large amount of Inner Strength in a very short time. Having just used it once, Wang Dadong couldn’t gather enough Inner Strength again in a short period; his Inner Strength was practically depleted now.
Seeing that he and Qin Xue were about to plunge into the abyss, Wang Dadong couldn’t care less and stretched out his hand forward.
His hand felt soft, not at all like the hard, cold rock and even had a warm feeling.
There was no need to guess what he had grabbed in his panic.
Mu Jin never expected Wang Dadong to suddenly leap up from below and with such incredible Qinggong that he could suspend in mid-air.
Thus, she was caught completely off guard, and Wang Dadong grabbed her right, her two big eyes instantly wide and rolling.
The atmosphere froze at that moment.
Qin Xue, with her back to the rear, didn’t know what had happened.
Wang Dadong also realized something was amiss, but he couldn’t let go now; if he did, he and Qin Xue would both perish.
But not letting go...
