Casting a frigid glance towards Ziyue Bing and the crowd atop the hill, Qingfeng Li stood his ground.

The men before him were all masters of the Spirit King Realm, and he wasn't dumb enough to rush to his own death.

Qingfeng Li didn't want to go any further, but it wasn't up to him.

In one swift motion, Tiandao Hu drew his long balde. A ray of blade light spanning two hundred meters flew from the edge. Slicing through the air, the beam cleaved down towards Qingfeng.

The attack of a master of the Spirit King Realm was incredibly strong. It tore through air, snow, and stone alike, forcing a tremor from the very earth itself.

Shoo!

Using the Dragon's Thousand Steps, Qingfeng Li moved like a flash of lightning, instantly dodging out of the light's path.

Having seen that Qingfeng Li had dodged his attack, Tiandao Hu's expression changed ever so slightly. Earlier, when Yafei Bing had said that Qingfeng Li was strong, he hadn't believed her. Now that he'd tried it for himself, he saw that there was truth in the statement. Qingfeng Li was indeed very capable.

Qingfeng Li's movements were incredibly fast, no slower than Tiandao Hu's own speed.

"Sect Master Hu, you see now that I wasn't lying about how strong this Qingfeng Li was," Yafei Bing said to Tiandao Hu. "We'll need to be careful of him."

Tiandao Hu nodded. There was reason in Yafei Bing's words.

He understood that, at least for the moment, he could not afford to fight Yafei Bing. They were evenly matched; once they faced one another, they would both inevitably suffer serious wounds. The situation would swing in Qingfeng Li's favor.

Tiandao Hu was a clever man. Naturally, he was able to see the stakes of the situation clearly.

"Sect Master Bing, let us delay our battle," Tiandao Hu directed a smile towards Yafei Bing. "I propose we take care of this Qingfeng Li together. Then we can settle the matter of this mountain's ownership between ourselves."

Yafei Bing nodded in agreement. True, there was quarrel between her and Tiandao Hu. But in the end, they were both sects of the great snow mountain. The dispute over the ownership of the fifth mountain was an internal matter. Qingfeng Li was an outsider, and therefore their mutual enemy.

Qingfeng Li stood at the foot of the mountain. Having heard Tiandao Hu's proposal, his face dropped. From below the crowd, he cried in indignation, "What, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? What the hell do you have to gain from killing me?"

A flicker of rage danced in Tiandao Hu's eyes. He took to the skies, long blade in hand, and came charging at Qingfeng Li.

Moving at incredible speed, Tiandao Li appeared before Qingfeng Li instantly.

The long blade in Tiandao Hu's hand sliced through the air, cleaving toward Qingfeng Li with astounding ferocity. The blade left a string of sonic booms in its wake, blasting snow in all directions,

"Sky-Roaming Golden Light." Using the first move of the Golden Light Sword, Qingfeng Li moved with a surreal quality. His movements were extremely fast, meeting Tiandao Hu's blade with his own in an instant.

As the Golden Light Sword struck the long blade, and there was burst of explosions. The sounds carried across the skies, and the massive force of the blow flew in all directions, tearing apart snow and stone in its way.

Boom, boom, boom...

Suddenly, the blanket of snow sitting high on the mountaintop began rolling downwards. This layer of snow, having accumulate over countless centuries, was unbelievably thick. Once it began to tumble down the slopes, it quickly picked up speed, causing the ground itself to quake under its weight.

"Avalanche!" seeing the falling mass, members of the Ice King Sect cried out in alarm. "Everyone! Run!"

A mask of horror fell over every face as they fled the scene.

Yes, they were afraid. They were longtime residents of these mountains; they knew better than anyone just how terrifying avalanches could be.

Without a doubt, avalanches were the most devastating calamity one could encounter in these mountains. Once the snow began rolling, it left men and beast alike buried in its wake. Victims were left helplessly awaiting their own deaths in an icy tomb.

Having seen the avalanche, Tiandao Hu, too, abandoned his attack on Qingfeng Li and turned to flee. He wasn't about to let himself get buried alive.

Qingfeng Li was also caught by surprise. He turned and motioned to the Wolf Fang team members to run.

Being the weakest in the group, Alice lagged behind. Qingfeng Li quickly appeared before her and lifted her into his arms as he ran.

The avalanche came at them like a tsunami. Its advance was at such a great speed that those beasts who were too slow to react, along with some of the weaker disciples, were all overtaken and engulfed under layers of white.

Large chunks of stones also fell from the sky. Beasts and men unfortunate enough to be hit were directly crushed to death.

It was a good thing that Qingfeng Li was a half step into the Spirit King Realm, and in command of the Dragon's Thousand Steps. With his incredible speed, he quickly left the area threatened by the avalanche and arrived on the fourth snow mountain.

Standing atop the fourth snow mountain, Qingfeng Li watched as the snow continued to tumble down the slopes of the fifth snow mountain. His face was noticeably pale.

Avalanche… This was the power of nature. So terrifying of a force that even a half-step Spirit King Realm master like Qingfeng Li was left awed. Before the wills of heaven and earth, the power of man seemed pitifully insignificant.

Boom, boom, boom....

The avalanche was still advancing, the avalanche that Qingfeng Li and Tiandao Hu had caused.

It was three full hours until the massive avalanche finally rumbled to a stop.

Shoo!

A ray of silver light flared to life atop the Fifth Snow Mountain. This light was none other than the Frozen Heart.

This light was naturally seen by everyone in the vicinity, and a flicker of excitement danced in every pair of eyes.

In all honesty, they had to be thankful for this avalanche. If it wasn't for the displaced snow, the Frozen Heart wouldn't have been revealed.

The Frozen Heart was a heart shaped crystal, found only on the Snow Mountains.

"Ha ha ha!" Tiandao Hu announced with pompous laughter. "The Frozen Heart has appeared. It is mine!"

Tiandao Hu was determined to claim the Frozen Heart for himself.

The Frozen Heart was a wonder of the natural world. For those following an ice-based path of cultivation, this treasure would raise their power by a full realm.

Put simply, since Tiandao Hu was currently a master of the Spirit King Realm, if he were to absorb the power of the Frozen Heart, he would be elevated to the spirit emperor realm.

"In your dreams, Tiandao Hu!" Yafei Bing sneered. "The Frozen Heart is mine."

She was the Master of the Ice King Sect. Her discipline was naturally of the ice type. No one wanted the Frozen Heart more than she did, and she wasn't about to give up on claiming it for herself.

Qingfeng Li smirked as well, his expression frosting over. He definitely wanted the Frozen Heart as well.

Yafei Bing and Tiandao Hu moved at the same time, taking to the air like arrows let fly, they shot toward the top of the mountain.

The two moved with lightning speed, appearing atop the mountain almost instantly. Each stared at the Frozen Heart with with a fervent expression.

The Frozen Heart was a translucent white crystal in the shape of a heart. A film of white light danced across the crystal's surface, giving the item a mystical air.

The Frozen Heart was formed from the essence of millenial snow. In addition to being of use to those of an ice type discipline, it was also effective against the Death Curse.

Yafei Bing's eyes shone with passion as she reached out with right hand, intending to grasp the Frozen Heart.

Seeing Yafei Bing's movements, Tiandao Hu abruptly swang his blade in her direction. Blade light flew from the sword, instantly appearing before her.

The expression on Yafei Bing's delicate face shifted as she struck out with her own sword, releasing a ray of sword light to intersect the one flying toward her. The two beams collided in a massive bang as the wielders of the blades also met in combat.

Seeing the events unfold, Qingfei Li stood by in calculated silence. He was watching the two, waiting for an opportunity.
