EBE Chapter 175 Huashan
Chapter 175 Huashan
The streets were brightly lit and bustling with people under the cover of night. Crowds of people came and went on the wide roads, creating a lively scene.
However, amidst this prosperous scene, no one realized that a huge disaster was quietly approaching.
Suddenly, the once clear night sky changed color abruptly, with countless thick dark clouds rapidly gathering like a surging tide, as if a ferocious beast had opened its pitch-black maw.
At the same time, deafening thunder roared in succession, and streaks of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the entire city as if it were daytime.
"What's going on? Is it going to rain?" Someone looked up at the sky in surprise, a sense of unease rising in their heart.
Just then, a chilling aura emanated continuously from the thick, dark clouds.
This aura was like an invisible giant hand, tightly gripping everyone's throat, causing them to feel short of breath, weak, and unsteady, and one after another they were about to fall to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, several equally powerful auras suddenly rose from the ground, shooting rapidly into the sky like meteors.
In the blink of an eye, several figures appeared in mid-air, confronting the unknown enemy.
"Who exactly are you people? How dare you act so recklessly on the territory of our Sakura Country!"
One of the burly men glared angrily and shouted at his mysterious opponent in the clouds.
A cold snort came from the clouds, followed by a burst of brilliant pink light that shot out like a rain of arrows.
The moment the people on the ground saw that pink light, their eyes became dull and lifeless, and red heart shapes involuntarily appeared in their pupils.
Upon seeing this, the leader in the sky felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly turned to look at his companions.
He was shocked when he looked down – there were several other people around him, just like those on the ground, with vacant eyes and dazed expressions, standing motionless in place.
The leader was taken aback. He was a member of the council of elders, and his strength had reached the divine realm. His martial soul was that of a puppeteer, and his high mental strength had not been affected.
"Oh no! This is a terrible mental attack! Everyone be careful!" the leader shouted, trying to wake up his controlled companions, but it seemed to be too late.
At this critical moment, the once calm clouds suddenly seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible giant hands, revealing a narrow slit.
Immediately afterwards, a delicate, translucent foot, as if carved from mutton-fat jade, emerged from the crack.
As that jade foot gently stepped into the void, it was as if the whole world froze.
Then, a graceful and slender figure, like a night-blooming cereus blooming in the dark night, slowly appeared before everyone's eyes. She wore a long, light, and ethereal gauze dress, the hem of which danced in the wind, making her look like a fairy gracefully moving in the air.
Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as the finest silk, and shone with a captivating luster under the sunlight.
Her stunningly beautiful face was like a meticulously crafted work of art, breathtakingly beautiful. However, the only flaw was the subtle air of aloofness that always lingered between her brows, making her unapproachable.
Looking behind her, six long, white tails, like graceful white snakes, swayed and moved freely in the air, adding to her mystery and charm.
"Hmph, how dare this tiny land of cherry blossoms try to block my path!"
She slightly raised her chin, parted her red lips, and spoke a clear and melodious voice that sounded like heavenly music, yet the chill contained within it sent shivers down one's spine.
"Who exactly are you? How dare you be so arrogant!" The leader of the crowd on the other side shouted, his voice trembling with fear.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you better pass on my words to that old guy Hua Qianshan within ten minutes."
Tell him that if he doesn't want to see innocent people here bleeding and dying, he'd better get his ass over here and come see me right now!
Ye Chuxue coldly swept her gaze over the group of people in front of her, and uttered these words in a chilling tone.
At this moment, Ye Chuxue, who had activated her white fox form, exuded a captivating and alluring aura. However, when she put on a stern face, her icy demeanor was enough to intimidate anyone who looked at her.
"Baka! You think you can just see our Lord Hua Qianshan whenever you want...?"
Before the man could finish speaking, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder that echoed through the heavens.
In the blink of an eye, the incredibly thick bolt of lightning struck the person who had just spoken with lightning speed.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, the leader didn't even have time to summon his puppet for defense before he was turned into a fireball by the terrifying lightning strike and fell straight to the ground.
"Cough cough cough..."
After the smoke cleared, all that remained was a large crater emitting wisps of smoke and a patch of scorched earth, with the man clutching his chest and coughing incessantly.
"Baka..." The man looked at Ye Chuxue with apprehension. The seemingly light blow had such great power that he hadn't even reacted.
And the other person's cold eyes suggested that they really might do such a thing.
"You just wait!" the man said viciously, then flew away into the distance.
Not long after, an extremely strong spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. This fluctuation spread rapidly in all directions like a surging sea wave.
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow rushed over like lightning, its speed astonishing.
As they approached, people could see the man's appearance clearly—it was none other than the renowned Hua Qianshan.
Hua Qianshan's face was solemn as he steadily stopped in front of Ye Chuxue.
His gaze was piercing as he stared intently at the unfamiliar and mysterious woman before him, and he demanded sharply, "Who exactly are you? How dare you trespass into my great Sakura Kingdom? What brings you here?"
Faced with Hua Qianshan's questioning, Ye Chuxue snorted coldly, a disdainful smile appearing on her lips, and slowly said, "Hmph, Hua Qianshan, you're supposed to be a well-known figure in the martial arts world, yet you can't even recognize me? Just a few days ago, didn't you attack us? What, have you forgotten me so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Qianshan's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
He scrutinized Ye Chuxue carefully, and after a moment, he suddenly realized, "So it's you! I never expected you people of Great Xia to be so audacious as to come here and cause trouble!"
However, Ye Chuxue simply replied, "So what? Does that mean you, the Great Sakura Kingdom, are allowed to act recklessly, while we, the Great Xia Kingdom, are not allowed to take any action?" Her tone was calm as water, yet it revealed an unwavering determination.
Just then, Hua Qianshan suddenly received an urgent message.
His expression changed drastically, veins bulged on his forehead, and he roared, "Lord Hua Qianshan, something terrible has happened! The southwest coastal defense line has been breached by the enemy, and dozens of huge warships are now quietly anchored on the shore, all flying the flags of the Great Xia!"
Upon hearing this news, Hua Qianshan's heart sank. He turned to look at Ye Chuxue and asked through gritted teeth, "Does your Great Xia really intend to provoke a war between the two countries?"
As he spoke, he secretly pondered how to respond while subtly sending out distress signals to other countries.
