Chapter 48 The Primordial Night, Martial God of Another World
Before long, a strange sound, completely different from the sound of wind and falling snow, came from the open pasture for training horses to the east.
At first, there was a dull thud, like a heavy object hitting frozen ground, but then a clear and piercing sound of metal clashing suddenly erupted.
"clang--!"
"Clang!"
The sounds grew louder and louder, like a glacier suddenly cracking open, or the most intense forging in a blacksmith's shop, causing the snow on the withered branches at the edge of the meadow to fall in a rustling sound.
Mu Yunlingyuan did not approach immediately, but stood in a sheltered spot beside the felt tent, gazing into the distance.
A thought flickered in his mind, and he silently recited in his head:
"System, retrieve detailed attribute data of the Primordial Azure Night."
"Ding! Searching..."
"The Primordial Night"
武力：110，统帅：88（96），智力：80（ 85），政治：78（82）
After reviewing the data, Mu Yunlingyuan understood. A combat strength of 110 was probably top-tier in this world. He composed himself and focused his attention entirely on the battle in the distance.
In the center of the grassland, a fierce battle raged.
Jin Peng was the first to launch an attack.
Knowing how powerful Tai Chu Cang Ye was, he went all out from the start, pushing his blood and energy to their peak.
The gilded halberd in his hand hummed and trembled, its golden light flowing, as if a golden roc phantom were truly attached to it.
He roared and charged forward like a roc sweeping across the land. His halberd tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and a cold glint suddenly appeared at the tip of the halberd, aiming straight for Tai Chu Cang Ye's heart!
This strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless, combining speed and power to his current limit. It was the starting stance of his signature move, "Golden Roc Chasing the Sun."
Faced with this thunderous attack, Tai Chu Cang Ye's expression remained calm and composed.
He didn't move an inch as if his feet were rooted to the ground. He just slightly twisted his right wrist, which was holding the halberd, inward. The Azure Dragon Netherworld Halberd, which was originally pointing diagonally at the ground, suddenly rose up in a dark arc as if it were alive.
"Clang—!!!" A deafening roar erupted as the two divine weapons struck, sending sparks flying and the force of the impact scraping away a layer of solid frozen ground and snow!
Both of them jolted, each sliding back half a step, carving deep furrows in the snow.
Before Tai Chu Cang Ye could completely dissipate the force of the recoil, a fierce wind arrived from the left!
The blue lion moved! Although he was large and imposing, his movements were as swift as a true prairie lion.
The thick-backed "Mountain-Breaking Blade" seemed weightless in his hands. Using the momentum of his charge, he swung it up from below, the blade whistling fiercely, whipping up the snow on the ground like a white, angry dragon, and slashing straight at Tai Chu Cang Ye's left shoulder blade!
This strike was devoid of any fancy moves; it was purely a crushing display of power and speed. Even before the blade arrived, the devastating aura of splitting mountains and cleaving peaks was already overwhelming.
Tai Chu Cang Ye's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly. In a flash, he tapped his left toes sharply, his figure shifting half a foot to the right like a ghost.
At the same time, the halberd in his hand smoothly shifted from a thrusting motion to a sweeping motion, the dark halberd shaft precisely grazing the outside of the descending blade.
With a sharp, hissing sound, the blade scraped against his shoulder armor, sending up a trail of dazzling sparks and metal shards. It narrowly missed his shoulder armor before slamming into the ground!
"Boom!" The snow mixed with frozen soil exploded, creating a crater the size of a washbasin, with mud and snow shooting several feet high!
The Green Lion, having missed its target, did not stop, demonstrating its rich combat experience.
With a strange twist of his wrist, the downward slash was abruptly transformed into a horizontal slash. The broad blade swept across the ground like a razor, cutting towards Tai Chu Cang Ye's feet. The fluidity and ruthlessness of the move's transition were astonishing.
Tai Chu Cang Ye seemed to have anticipated this. Just as the blade was about to strike, he strangely rose into the air, as if springs were installed under his feet, easily dodging the ground-hugging slash.
At the same time, taking advantage of the momentum from his sweeping motion, he suddenly changed direction with his halberd. The tip of the halberd, like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, carried a hint of cold blue starlight and struck the pulse point on the right wrist of the green lion holding the knife with lightning speed!
This counterattack was swift, accurate, and cunning, perfectly capitalizing on the moment when the Green Lion's old strength was exhausted and its new strength had not yet been generated.
The blue lion felt a growing alarm in its heart and hurriedly withdrew its sword to defend. "Clang!" Another crisp sound rang out as the halberd tip precisely struck the junction of the guard and the hilt.
A chilling, needle-like force pierced through the blade, and Qing Shi felt his entire right arm go numb and tingle instantly, his tiger's mouth throbbing with pain. He could barely grip the hilt and staggered back several steps before he could barely dissipate the force. His eyes were filled with horror as he looked at Tai Chu Cang Ye.
Almost at the same moment the blue lion was in danger, the oppressive feeling on the right suddenly intensified. The white elephant moved!
Unlike the Golden Roc and the Azure Lion, who launched a fierce and relentless attack, he advanced with heavy, steady steps, like a moving hill. The tip of his iron demon-subduing spear, a point of cold light, locked onto the waist and abdomen of the Primordial Azure Night.
As he advanced, the momentum of his spear continued to condense and compress, like an invisible mountain slowly collapsing, sealing off all possible gaps for his opponent to dodge.
This shot, named "Elephant Trampling Mountains and Rivers," emphasizes intent over brute force, using momentum to overwhelm the opponent and force them to take the hit head-on!
In an instant, the Golden Roc was above, its halberd soaring like a golden roc, launching attack after attack with agility and ruthlessness. The Green Lion was in the middle and lower lanes, its steel blade dancing wildly, flashing and filling gaps, engaging in a fierce and relentless battle. The White Elephant was firmly positioned on the flanks, its long spear like a stabilizing force, constantly compressing the space for Taichu Cangye to move with its steady and powerful spear momentum, and ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Although it was their first real battle together, the three of them subtly formed a complementary force, temporarily trapping Tai Chu Cangye in the center of the battle circle, forcing him to dodge and parry repeatedly, seemingly putting him on the defensive.
Seeing this, Jin Peng's eyes flashed with joy, and his attack became even more urgent. His halberd transformed into a golden storm, and the green lion roared repeatedly, its swordsmanship becoming increasingly ferocious, attempting to break through the defense with brute force. The white elephant, on the other hand, had a calm gaze, its spear tip flickering uncertainly, like a lurking giant elephant, waiting for the best opportunity to strike with thunder.
The snow on the grassland was swirled and danced in the air by the violent energy. The sounds of weapons cutting through the air, clashing, and shouting mingled together, and the fighting spirit was boiling. Even the faint sound of horns coming from the royal court in the distance was drowned out.
However, the primordial Cangye, at the eye of the storm, remained cold and indifferent, like eternal, unyielding ice.
He appeared to be suppressed, but every step he took back and every block was precise and efficient, as if he was measuring the limits of the three of them and adapting to the rhythm of their combined efforts.
When Jinpeng's powerful split-hit attack was deflected by him, and Qingshi's series of sword strikes were all evaded with his exquisite footwork, and Baixiang's spear attack was also unable to fully close due to his movement, in that instant...
The aura of the primordial darkness has changed.
If he was a silent iceberg before, then at this moment, the lurking Netherworld Dragon beneath the iceberg has finally slightly opened its eyes.
He did not unleash his full terrifying power; he merely released a fraction of his concealed sharpness.
"Break." A clear, cold shout rang out. It wasn't loud, but it carried a strange penetrating power, drowning out all other noises.
The Azure Dragon Netherworld Halberd in his hand swept horizontally! No longer the precise parrying and skillful deflection of before...
This strike was simple and brutal, yet it contained an overwhelming power and a chilling aura that could freeze the soul!
The dark halberd flashed by, the air seemed to be torn apart, and an invisible crescent-shaped burst of energy suddenly spread out!
The Golden Roc and the Green Lion, who were directly in the path, paled instantly. They felt an irresistible force mixed with bone-chilling cold crashing into them. Their weapons trembled violently, their tiger's mouths split open, and they were forced to stumble backward.
Each step left deep footprints in the snow. He took seven or eight steps back before stopping, his chest heaving with blood and qi churning. His gaze toward the field was filled with fear.
After forcing the two back, Tai Chu Cang Ye's figure drifted backward like a ghost, just avoiding the White Elephant's attack, "Giant Elephant Charge," which was intended to lock down his retreat.
In the instant the spear tip grazed the breastplate, he flicked his wrist, and the halberd emerged like a serpent from its hole. The small branch of the halberd head precisely caught the white elephant's spear shaft, not by blocking it hard, but by wrapping and twisting it in the process!
"Crack!" A sickening metallic twisting sound rang out! The White Elephant's gun barrel, made of refined steel and hardwood, was twisted open with a shocking spiral crack!
White Elephant felt a cold, spiraling force surge up the shaft of the spear, instantly causing his entire arm to go numb and lose sensation. His fingers involuntarily loosened, and the spear almost slipped from his grasp!
He grunted, planted his foot firmly, and stopped his retreat, but his face was deathly pale. He looked at his beloved gun with horror in his eyes.
