Chapter 365: Severe Cold

In a daze, another two months have passed.

Although the vanguard fleet was completely wiped out, there were still four escort fleets surrounding the giant ship. Each of them drew a warship and immediately formed a new vanguard fleet.

Therefore, navigation was not affected too much.

After all, the vanguard fleet is just cannon fodder, used to clear the way ahead.

It has to be admitted that the ocean-going fleet built by Ji Yuanwu with the whole country's strength has a strong foundation.

Having said that, the two-month voyage was still full of wind and rain, dangers and hardships, and was not as smooth as we had imagined.

The large ships following behind were either destroyed or forced to return one after another. Today, only four are left, which is a heavy loss.

That evening, the temperature dropped sharply! The sky was overcast, and soon it began to snow heavily, like broken pieces of jade pouring down from the sky, spreading across the boundless sea.

A thick layer of white snow quickly accumulated on the deck, covering it entirely in silver.

The chill was everywhere, and bean-sized drops of water condensed on the inner walls of the cabin.

Pah~ A drop of water fell and landed right on the thin dog's head.

“Fuck!”

The little dog who was sleeping soundly suddenly woke up, shook his head subconsciously, and shook his body.

The room was stuffy, cold, damp, lacking in oxygen, and breathing was extremely difficult.

Fang Zhixing also woke up, released his spiritual perception, and frowned slightly.

"What's going on? Is there a cold wave?" asked Xigou.

Fang Zhixing transmitted the message: "It's snowing outside."

"snow?"

Xigou suddenly became interested, "Come to think of it, we haven't seen a good snowfall since we left Qinglin County."

Fang Zhixing stood up and said, "The weather is a bit strange. Let's go out and take a look."

A man and a dog walked out of the room.

Coincidentally, an old man with a white beard walked in the corridor outside.

It was the old leader of the Sword Pavilion, whose name was unknown. People in the martial arts world called him "Qingyun Sword Immortal". He was as famous as another "Hengdao Saint".

Both of them were on the huge ship.

However, the Qingyun Sword Immortal roamed the world and was highly respected, while the Hengdao Saint Lord had long since surrendered to Ji Yuanwu and became a royal retainer, holding a high position of power.

The Great Black Buddha Mother found out that this Qingyun Sword Immortal was probably holding three to five feet-long walls.

The problem is that they are keeping it to themselves and have no intention of trading.

"Old Sword Immortal."

Fang Zhixing greeted him with a smile.

Qingyun Sword Immortal stopped and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Fang, you are too polite. My last name is Ning, so you can just call me Fellow Daoist Ning."

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "Mr. Ning, are you going out to enjoy the snow too?"

Qingyun Sword Immortal smiled and twirled his beard, stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, and said, "Together."

The two men and the dog came onto the deck.

Looking around, there was heavy snow, the sky and the earth were all white, and it was as beautiful as a painting.

The cold wind blew, chilling me to the bone.

Fang Zhixing exhaled a breath of white air and felt that the temperature had dropped to over 20 degrees below zero.

Moreover, the further we go, the colder it becomes.

It seemed as if the sea ahead was in a terrible extreme cold zone.

Qingyun Sword Immortal looked around and frowned, "Oh no, the sea water is frozen."

Fang Zhixing also noticed that the extremely low temperature froze the sea water, forming a thick layer of ice that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Thousands of miles of ice!

Boom, crack! The huge ship continued to move forward and soon hit a huge layer of ice, with the sound of breaking ice being loud.

Although the bow has been reinforced, one can imagine the pressure it was under when it hit such thick ice.

Not to mention, once the boat's speed slowed down, it became very difficult to move forward.

Soon, the entire royal fleet was forced to stop and could not move forward.

Seeing this, Qingyun Sword Immortal sighed with his hands behind his back, "This is going to be a big trouble."

Fang Zhixing said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ning. We just need to form an icebreaking team to break the ice ahead and clear the way. Then we can continue the voyage."

Qingyun Sword Immortal smiled bitterly and said, "That's easier said than done!"

But he had to admit that this might be the only way.

As expected!

Not long after, Queen Xiahou Mi gave an order, instructing the warriors on the third floor of the cabin to take turns to break the ice.

Most of the people on the third level are nobles and people from aristocratic families, and their cultivation level is between the Nine Ox Realm and the Hundred Ox Realm.

There were so many of them that they swarmed out, jumped off the huge ship and landed on the ice.

Next, there were roaring sounds one after another.

Everyone displayed their unique skills and attacked the ice frantically, forcing a waterway a hundred meters wide.

Fang Zhixing glanced around and suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the crowd.

Helian clan of Daizhou, Helian Zhou.

Fang Zhixing had met this person once and had a good impression of him.

Helian Zhou was also assigned to the icebreaking team and worked hard.

This situation and this scene make people sigh.

People from aristocratic families were so noble in the Great Zhou, but they would never have thought that after going out to sea, they would be reduced to coolies.

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west..."

Fang Zhixing shook his head slightly, feeling a mixture of emotions.

"Let's go ice skating!"

At this time, the little dog was unwilling to be lonely, so he jumped off the boat, ran wildly on the ice and played happily.

The fine dog has thick fur and is not afraid of the cold. Instead, it quickly adapts to the ice and snow and enjoys it.

Fang Zhixing glanced at Qingyun Sword Immortal, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Old Ning, I heard that you have a few Chizhibi in your hands, is that right?"

"Oh, did I?" The old Pavilion Master stroked his beard and chuckled.

Fang Zhixing said solemnly: "If Mr. Ning is willing to give up, I will be grateful."

Qingyun Sword Immortal did not comment, but looked up at the heavy snow. Suddenly, he changed the subject and asked, "This time we went out to sea, and we have gathered masters from both the righteous and evil sects. I wonder which side Fellow Daoist Fang is on?"

Fang Zhixing was quick-witted, pondering the deep meaning of the old Pavilion Master's words, and said decisively: "Fang is just a traitor."

Hearing this, Qingyun Sword Immortal smiled, said nothing more, and turned back to the cabin.

Fang Zhixing hesitated for a moment, turned around, and waved to someone.

Then, Xu Jie walked over quickly and also came out to investigate the situation.

"I want to ask you something."

Fang Zhixing asked, "Does the old leader of the Sword Pavilion have any enemies?"

"Enemy?"

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and spread his hands, saying, "He is a man of great stature who has lived for a thousand years. There are only a handful of people in the Great Zhou who are qualified to be his enemy."

Fang Zhixing said, "Go and ask for me."

"Okay!" Xu Jie didn't dare to delay and turned around and ran into the cabin.

About a cup of tea later, the Great Black Buddha Mother came to Fang Zhixing and replied, "The old Pavilion Master had a son who died at the hands of the 'Thousand Hearts Demon'."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said, "With the old Pavilion Master's swordsmanship, can't you kill the old demon Qianxin?"

The Great Black Buddha spread her hands and said, “It is rumored that the old Pavilion Master and the old demon Qianxin once fell in love with the same woman at the same time, but the woman chose the old demon Qianxin.

The old Pavilion Master once swore to that woman that no matter what the old demon Qianxin did, she would not kill him. "

Fang Zhixing was speechless. It turned out that the old Pavilion Master was a bootlicker.

The Great Black Buddha Mother continued, "Of course, the old demon Qianxin is not that easy to kill. He is an immortal who has practiced peerless magic skills. He can take the hearts of others and transplant them into his own body. An extra heart means an extra life. It is too difficult to kill him."

"Oh, could it be the Thousand Hearts Demonic Art?"

Fang Zhixing suddenly realized that he had seen this magic skill in the Ancient Emperor's restricted area before, and asked, "Is the old demon Qianxin also on the boat?"

The Great Black Buddha Mother replied: "I have checked all the personnel on the second, third and fourth floors, and there is no old demon Qianxin.

The first level is the royal family and the guards. The list is confidential and I haven’t figured it all out yet.”

Fang Zhixing understood, and immediately turned and walked towards the first floor cabin entrance.

"stop!"

The mecha guard blocked their way and said coldly, "You are on the second floor. You are not allowed to enter the first floor."

Fang Zhixing said calmly, "Please inform the Seventeenth Prince that I would like to see you."

The mecha guard replied: "This matter requires the permission of the Queen."

Fang Zhixing replied: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

The moment passed in a flash.

The seventeenth prince, Ji Hongli, dressed in white, walked to the deck with an unconvinced look on his face. He said, "You're looking for me?"

Fang Zhixing asked directly: "Is there any old demon Qianxin in the personal guard?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Ji Hongli was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said with a cold face, "Why should I tell you a big rebellion?"

Fang Zhixing said, "When you advance to the Nirvana realm, I will be your sparring partner again."

"really?!"

Ji Hongli's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but be happy.

Fang Zhixing said: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

Ji Hongli was happy, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and replied lazily: "The old demon Qianxin is an evil demon, notorious. No matter how poor my royal family is, it is impossible for us to recruit such a demon to join the guard."

“Not here…”

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but frown.

If the old demon Qianxin didn't come, then why did the old Pavilion Master bring it up...

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing turned his head and looked at the big ship following behind.

The corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled, "Seventeenth Prince, do you want to slay demons and defend the Way?"

Ji Hongli shuddered, turned his head and looked at the four large ships, with fighting spirit burning in the depths of his pupils.

Just as he was about to speak, an old eunuch in purple appeared and said, "Seventeenth Prince, the Queen has ordered you to go back and not meddle in other people's business."

Ji Hongli looked reluctant, shook his sleeves in frustration, and turned away angrily.

Fang Zhixing didn't care about it. He jumped up and flew backwards.

"Where are you going?" The thin dog ran on the ice and caught up.

Fang Zhixing transmitted the message: "Let's go, I'll take you to kill someone."

The thin dog yelled, "Damn, who the hell pissed you off again?"

Fang Zhixing shouted in a deep voice: "Old Demon Qianxin, get out!"

The domineering voice spread out, causing the flying snow in the sky to flutter and dance wildly.

The ice cracked, the sea water surged, and the four large ships swayed violently.

"snort!"

After a while, a sinister cold snort suddenly sounded.

Then, with a loud bang, the deck of the second large ship broke open and a man in a black robe flew out.

This man is tall, with long hair like a waterfall, a hooked nose, white eyebrows, a handsome face, and the temperament of an evil and charming uncle.

"Fang Zhixing, you and I have never met before and we have no grudges against each other. Why are you looking for me in such a big way?"

The old demon Qianxin is not a fool. He realized that Fang Zhixing's intentions were not good.

Fang Zhixing said coldly: "I'm in a bad mood today, and I want to find someone to beat up to vent my anger."

The old demon Qianxin flew into a rage, glared fiercely, and shouted: "Arrogant! Do you think I am a soft persimmon?"

Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "Old devil, I've been displeased with you for a long time. Stop talking nonsense and give me your life!"

"You're looking for death!"

The old demon Qianxin was furious and suddenly opened his arms. His robe fluttered, revealing a sword box.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The sword box opened, and seven long swords flew out, bursting with sparkling starlight.

Seven swords flew across the sky, forming a spoon, like the Big Dipper.

A huge sword light condensed into shape, shaking the earth, as if it had condensed all the light of seven stars. The sword was mighty and murderous!

Fang Zhixing saw this and narrowed his eyes and said, "Taiyi Seven Star Sword!"

The old demon Qianxin's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "You are seeking death yourself, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

The sword light is very strong!

The Seven Swords of Taiyi were so arrogant that they stirred up the stars in the sky, broke through the dark clouds, scared away the snow and wind, and stirred up huge waves! "Kill!"

In an instant, a terrifying sword light flashed and the momentum was beyond words.

Fang Zhixing remained calm and unmoved as usual.

But an invisible and traceless rebound force, with him as the center, spread out in all directions.

Dang! The seven Taiyi swords suddenly stopped, as if they had hit a wall of air. Even though they were bent sharply, they still couldn't move forward an inch.

Immediately afterwards, the Seven Taiyi Swords rolled back, carrying with them tremendous sword power, and flew towards the old demon Qianxin at lightning speed and in an extremely chaotic trajectory.

"this!!"

The old demon Qianxin was horrified, and without thinking, his sleeves fluttered, and a large amount of black smoke gushed out in an instant.

Puff! The Seven Taiyi Swords came rushing over, piercing through the black smoke, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The broken pieces of flesh, along with a large amount of blood, scattered and fell into the sea.

One of the pieces of meat turned out to be a fish head.

"Hey, where are the people?"

Fang Zhixing was surprised.

He clearly sensed that the old demon Qianxin suddenly disappeared, and instead a sea fish was killed.

It seemed that in an instant, he and the sea fish exchanged positions.

"This is some kind of magical power of space transposition!"

Fang Zhixing looked around, searching for any trace of the old demon Qianxin.

"Look at me, I'm searching for the enemy in the void!"

The thin dog smiled and finally found a chance to show off.

In an instant, invisible waves spread out, quickly sweeping the surrounding space.

Almost in the next moment, a shadow emerged from beneath the sea.

"Mystical power: spilled water cannot be undone!"

The moment the old demon Qianxin was discovered, he suddenly used his magical powers to launch a sneak attack.

Boom! The sea surface exploded, and a large amount of sea water rushed into the sky.

A huge amount of water vapor rose up and spread out, surrounding Fang Zhixing.

"This is……"

Fang Zhixing suddenly felt unwell, his stomach churned, and he vomited a mouthful of liquid.

It's water!

Soon after, water began to flow from his eyes, and water also flowed from his nose and ears.

The water in the body was lost madly and spread into the surrounding water mist.

"It's hard to undo what has been done!"

Fang Zhixing suddenly realized, then smiled contemptuously and came up with a plan to deal with it.

"Five elements united as one!"

Om~ A Tai Chi pattern appeared under Fang Zhixing's body, with yin and yang in harmony and the five elements giving birth to each other.

Then, all the water that flowed out rolled back into the body.

Not only that, the surrounding water mist was also refined by the Tai Chi pattern and dissipated and disappeared.

The magic power was broken! The old demon Qianxin groaned, and was hit back, with a look of pain on his face.
