Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 578: Chapter 248: Li Hu and Yang Zhong, Saving Lives and Destroying Evil (Part 2)

The Blue Flame Saber of Wu Xiong became even stronger than before.

The people slashed by the saber now not only had dew drops appearing on their wounds.

The dew on those people’s wounds quickly heated up to red, and in an instant, they were ignited by the blue flames surrounding Wu Xiong’s body. Then the entire person would be consumed by the blue flames, letting out a scream of desperate agony.

In Li Hu’s eyes at this moment, each time Wu Xiong’s saber struck someone, clusters of blue flames would instantly ignite, and those blue flames would ignite the dew on others nearby.

Boom... boom... boom... boom...

Thus, the thousands within the Earth-digging Realm outside the valley, at this moment, were like matches waiting to be lit, and Wu Xiong was the open flame, crazily igniting everyone while letting out a manic laugh.

How could Li Hu not despair at such a scene?

What he just thought was to risk his life to hold onto Wu Xiong, even if only to delay him for a breath or even half a breath, then Yang Zhong’s chance of escape would increase slightly.

Only now did he realize that in front of Wu Xiong, he couldn’t even get close.

As soon as he got close, the dew on his legs would instantly be ignited.

And in fact, there were indeed blue flames emerging from his legs right now.

Sizzle...

The pain in his thigh surged into his mind, and Li Hu thought of his deceased mother, his face full of unwillingness. He hadn’t yet avenged her; hadn’t fulfilled her dying wish to see her hometown, and even less had he completed the promise to his brother Yang Zhong to avenge him.

”Hu Zi!”

Yang Zhong’s shout reached his ears, and Li Hu no longer worried about the safety of his good brother. Thinking to himself he would go first, he directly closed his eyes.

Buzz...

An ethereal, heavy voice entered his mind, and the pain in his thigh disappeared completely. Li Hu, who thought he had died, first showed a relieved expression, but then was full of astonishment when he opened his eyes again and saw the scene in front of him.

He hadn’t died; he was still standing in place.

And the blue flame on his legs had vanished.

Not only him, but also the blue flames on many people around him, as well as on many corpses within the valley, disappeared in an instant.

Boom...

A pale golden four-legged giant cauldron suddenly descended from the sky, hitting the ground with a loud crash, transforming into a seven-meter-tall form. The four sides of the square cauldron were engraved with dozens of Cold Beast patterns, and within the giant cauldron, flames several meters high were raging, illuminating the entire valley with their light.

All the eyes of the survivors were drawn to it.

”Where did this cauldron come from?”

Whoosh...

The same question subconsciously popped into Li Hu’s mind.

But he immediately realized that this wasn’t the issue to be concerned with right now.

Because Wu Xiong was right in front of him.

The moment the giant cauldron appeared, Wu Xiong’s expression carried a hint of panic, but he reacted quickly, seemingly realizing he needed to kill more people, and immediately charged into the crowd ahead.

And the crowd before him, at the forefront, was Li Hu.

Whoosh...

The only blue flame still burning in the entire area was possibly on Wu Xiong and in his hands on that big saber, the terrifying blade edge slashing towards him. Li Hu instinctively turned to run, but with the injuries on his legs, combined with Wu Xiong’s terrifying speed, he didn’t have the slightest chance to escape.

Still going to die!

Clang...

A narrow long blade suddenly blocked in front of Li Hu.

The moment the long blade came into contact with the blue flames, the resulting shock wave caused the snow on the ground to spread outwards for more than ten meters. Even without direct contact, the terrifying impact sent Li Hu flying over ten meters, crashing directly into Yang Zhong, and together they were pushed to the edge of the iron gate.

In the chaos, Li Hu turned his head to look at the position just now, and his gaze suddenly condensed.

The owner of that long blade was tall, dressed in silk black clothes, clearly not ordinary; the narrow straight blade in his hand was as long as one meter seventy, longer than seemed reasonable; he held the blade with both hands, clashing fiercely with Wu Xiong’s Blue Fire Saber, their strength in a stalemate with Wu Xiong’s.

No, not just a stalemate!

The blue flames attached to Wu Xiong’s saber actually rose up in a normal yellow flame under the counter of that man’s Yi Blade.

Moreover, the yellow flame seemed to counteract the blue flame.

That feeling, it was as if the normal fire was burning the blue flame.

”It’s the lord who was killed by Li Xuanling and the others!”

If the giant cauldron appearing and saving him the first time hadn’t brought much emotion to Li Hu’s heart; then the black-clothed man who saved him the second time now truly made him filled with gratitude.

He recognized Xia Hong at a glance. Previously, when Li Xuanling was hunting, although it was with the Longyou Army, Li Hu was also watching from the side.

”It’s that man, I think his name is Xia Hong, the leader of Great Xia!”

Li Xuanling, with so many Cold Resistance Levels and a thousand Longyou soldiers, couldn’t successfully hunt him down. Needless to say, Li Hu and Yang Zhong both remembered clearly.

”It’s that man, I remember too.”

”That big cauldron, is it his too?”

”Is he here to rescue us?”

”How could it be? Just now, the young master brought people to hunt him down; why would he want to rescue us?”

”Then why did he attack Wu Xiong?”

.........

Not only Li Hu and Yang Zhong, but most of the thousands of people in the valley also recognized Xia Hong. Watching the standoff between Xia Hong and Wu Xiong, they were puzzled, but their eyes could not help but hold some expectations.

Most of those present were from the Earth-digging Realm of the Long Mountain and Zhaoyang families.

Li Xuanling and Hou Tong had already fled with all the Cold Resistance Levels. They were already full of despair, so when they saw Xia Hong, they naturally began to hope.

”What are you still standing there for, hurry up and run to the southwest, someone is waiting!”

Their expectations came true.

Hearing Xia Hong’s words, most people’s eyes were full of joy, and without thinking, they turned and ran out of the iron gate; a few, remembering what had just happened and looking at Xia Hong, felt a bit complicated, but thinking that saving their lives was more important, they quickly ran out of the iron gate.

”Thirty manes, almost catching up to me. If I let you keep killing...”

Seeing people start to run towards the iron gate, Xia Hong turned to look at Wu Xiong in front of him. A glint flashed in his left eye, and he sneered. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his saber and slashed directly at Wu Xiong’s head.

Whoosh......

The slender Yi Blade, combined with Xia Hong’s terrifying strength, made a sound like a speeding needle, and in an instant, it split towards Wu Xiong’s head.

Clang......

Wu Xiong hastily raised his saber to block. Although he successfully protected his head, his face did not show a smile, but his expression became even more serious.

Sizzle!

The blue flames on the saber, once it contacted Xia Hong’s Yi Blade, rose up again with the previous normal flame, and the flames burned more vigorously, gradually replacing the original blue flames on his saber.

Not only the saber, but the blue flames on his body were also being suppressed and becoming smaller and smaller.

Wu Xiong raised his head to meet Xia Hong’s gaze, saw the mockery in his eyes, and a surge of anger rose on his face, his eyes suddenly hardening.

Sizzle......

He actually withdrew the saber, letting Xia Hong’s saber slash towards him.

Such a godsend opportunity would not be missed by Xia Hong; he tightly gripped the Dragon Sparrow Saber covered with Solidified Fire Oil with both hands and slashed down fiercely, almost from the skull top all the way to Wu Xiong’s lower body.

Boom......

Just like Wu Xiong killing those ordinary Earth-digging Realms with one slash, flames rose from the parts of Wu Xiong’s body that were cut open by Xia Hong’s slash. However, they were not blue but normal flames.

Sizzle!

Suddenly, Wu Xiong’s body spewed out a large amount of white smoke, and at the same time, an extremely bloodthirsty and eerie laughter rang out from not far away.

However, this laughter did not last for three breaths.

It was interrupted by the sound of an iron arrow piercing through the air.

Whoosh......

Xia Hong holding the Divine Arm Bow, turned his head to look at Wu Xiong, more than a hundred meters away on the left, who had re-condensed a body, using the corpses on the ground, his eyes full of coldness.

The iron arrow shot out just now had steadily penetrated Wu Xiong’s brow, the Solidified Fire Oil on the arrow having an obvious and intense reaction with Wu Xiong’s body, making black smoke constantly rise from his head, and later, flames gradually emerged from within.

”Ah...... ah......”

The Wu Xiong transformed by the White Dew Gu finally stopped laughing.

This time, accompanied by rolling black smoke, he emitted an extremely painful howl, and looking at Xia Hong, his eyes were full of immense hatred.

”You can freely change bodies among these corpses infected by the dew, your ability seems much stronger than those freaks before. Almost let you grow big, but unfortunately, you ran into my Eye of Truth!”

Pshh... pshh... pshh......

Xia Hong, with a cold smile, spoke while continuously shooting iron arrows soaked in Solidified Fire Oil with the Divine Arm Bow.

Each iron arrow that was inserted into Wu Xiong’s body caused the flames on him to intensify a notch. After dozens of iron arrows had been fired, Wu Xiong’s body was already engulfed in flames—and besides intense painful howls, he could say nothing.
