Xiao Yunlong had immediately noticed the red-robed imperial advisor the moment he appeared on the mountaintop.
Perhaps it was due to his continuous cultivation and comprehension within the Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms, but Xiao Yunlong's physical body and spiritual senses had both seen immense improvement. The very first glance he cast upon the man allowed him to fully ascertain the opponent's cultivation base and true strength.
"What a formidable opponent. He has already stepped halfway into the Yin-Yang Transformation realm. Truly worthy of being the imperial advisor of the Snow Wolf Kingdom!"
Xiao Yunlong scoffed inwardly, though his expression remained calm and composed.
Even though the opponent's cultivation was indeed powerful, the highest realm he had encountered thus far, it was still not enough to truly challenge Xiao Yunlong!
Turning to look at the elder with a grave expression, Xiao Yunlong couldn't help but chuckle, "So your name is Ba Jindou, old man. No wonder you refused to tell me earlier no matter how I asked. It's quite a unique name, but why not just call yourself Ba Dou? Or perhaps Ba Jin?"
The elder, Ba Jindou, shot him an annoyed glance and said irritably, "Youngster Xiao, at a time like this, you still have the mood to joke with me? Do you know how terrifying that old dog in the red robe on the mountaintop is? He's one of the three imperial advisors of the Snow Wolf Kingdom!"
"Besides him, those seven strange-looking fellows on the left are known as the Seven Northern Desert Absolutes. Each one of them is a supreme expert. And the five fellows on the right holding staffs are the five great Shamanic Sorcerers of the Snow Wolf Kingdom, whose strength and status are second only to the imperial advisors!"
"So they are the Seven Northern Desert Absolutes. I've heard of their fearsome reputation for a long time. And these five great shamans... it seems the Snow Wolf Kingdom has really gone all out this time!" Zhang Qingyun remarked.
"Judging by this, this situation might be quite difficult to handle," Li Jiuxiao said with a similarly solemn expression.
"Difficult to handle? It's more than difficult, it's extremely difficult!"
The elder Ba Jindou snorted, putting away his long-stemmed pipe. "Leave the red-robed imperial advisor to me. You all cover Xiao Yunlong's escape. Everyone else here can die, but he cannot. I'll try my best to hold off that red-robed old dog. You must hurry, I can't hold him for long!"
"You know fear now, but it's too late. None of you will leave today, especially King Xiao of the North. He must die!"
Medvedev let out a cold snort and then waved his hand, "Attack! Kill!"
A fierce gust of wind suddenly erupted from the valley. It turned out the red-robed imperial advisor from the mountaintop had made his move. His entire body surged with true essence, and as he moved, his powerful aura directly stirred up a tornado.
Xiao Yunlong was just about to leap forward when the elder Ba Jindou shot towards the red-robed imperial advisor like an arrow.
"Youngster Xiao, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and escape! I can't hold him for long!" the elder shouted anxiously from mid-air.
Tu Fu was the first to block in front of Xiao Yunlong. "Master, I'll hold them off. You quickly go!"
The other great generals also did not hesitate, stepping forward one after another to shield Xiao Yunlong.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunlong felt deeply gratified. He then said, "You guys can't stop them. Leave the Seven Northern Desert Absolutes to you. I'll take care of the five shamans!"
Before he even finished speaking, his figure had already darted out.
At the same time, the Seven Northern Desert Absolutes and the five great Shamanic Sorcerers of the Snow Wolf Kingdom also made their moves.
Medvedev, as the overall commander of the enemy forces, retreated to a distance. Seeing Xiao Yunlong charging forward instead of retreating, he couldn't help but grin and sneer, "Not escaping at this moment, but charging forward? He's simply asking for death!"
Bobia followed with a cold laugh, "He's not escaping because he knows it's useless even if he tries!"
"That's true. Next, we'll just wait and see how they slay the dragon!"
Medvedev finished speaking and threw his head back, laughing proudly. The surrounding bigwigs also joined in with unrestrained laughter.
However, they soon stopped laughing. In fact, they were all frozen in place.
As Xiao Yunlong flew, he directly mobilized the power of eighty Divine Kingdoms. A majestic aura erupted from his body, also creating a violent whirlwind.
The five great Shamanic Sorcerers of the Snow Wolf Kingdom who had already surrounded him had their expressions change. They clearly had not expected the young King Xiao of the North from the Dragon Kingdom to be so powerful.
However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. Moreover, these five great shamans were all experts at the Innate True Essence realm. With their combined strength, even a peak True Essence realm expert would have to avoid their้่.
Yet, the five great shamans had ultimately underestimated Xiao Yunlong's combat power, or perhaps Xiao Yunlong's current martial cultivation was far beyond their imagination.
With a single punch, as if carrying the power of a mountain, he directly sent one of the great shamans flying backward like a broken kite.
"What? Why is this brat so strong?" The remaining four great shamans were shocked beyond belief.
At this moment, Medvedev and the others were also stunned, their faces filled with disbelief, unable to believe their own eyes.
"What in the world is going on? Did any of you see clearly?" Medvedev asked.
"If even you can't figure it out, then we certainly don't know!" the others replied, shaking their heads.
However, while they were conversing, another thudding sound came from not far away. Another great shaman was once again sent flying by Xiao Yunlong's palm, falling to the ground and severely injured, unable to get up.
"Damn it, this brat was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger! His martial cultivation is at least at the Half-step Yin-Yang Transformation realm. We are no match for him. Escape!"
"Quick, escape! Otherwise, we'll all die!" The remaining three great Shamanic Sorcerers of the Snow Wolf Kingdom, seeing the situation turn dire, didn't even bother with Medvedev and the others behind them and turned to flee.
"Trying to escape? Do you think you can?"
Xiao Yunlong twisted his body, stirring up a gust of wind as he pursued. With a mere flick of his wrist, he killed the remaining three great Shamanic Sorcerers of the Snow Wolf Kingdom.
Seeing this from afar, Medvedev was so terrified that his face turned ashen, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"This is not good, Commander-in-Chief. This King Xiao of the North is so terrifying that even the five great shamans are no match for him. What should we do? Should we flee?"
"Why panic? Don't we still have the red-robed imperial advisor? With him around, that fellow named Xiao won't be able to make any waves!"
Medvedev gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, but in reality, his teeth were chattering.
At this moment, the elder Ba Jindou and the red-robed imperial advisor of the Snow Wolf Kingdom were still engaged in a fierce battle. However, the elder Ba Jindou's situation was dire. He was almost completely suppressed by his opponent, with no room to retaliate. At best, he could only slightly distract and hinder him.
The red-robed imperial advisor was, after all, at the Half-step Yin-Yang Transformation realm, while the elder Ba Jindou was only at the peak of the Innate True Essence realm. Although the former had only stepped halfway into the Yin-Yang realm, he was still far superior to anyone in the True Essence realm, as the Yin-Yang realm involved a level of mastery that was truly divine.
"You think you can stop me? Get lost!"
The red-robed imperial advisor was furious. The Yin-Yang true essence within him surged and converged, erupting forth. Finally, with a single punch, he sent the elder Ba Jindou, who was already severely depleted, flying downwards.
Just then, Xiao Yunlong had finished dealing with the five great shamans. He immediately flew over and caught the elder, preventing him from crashing heavily onto the ground at such a high speed, which would have at least severely injured him, if not killed him.
"Cough, cough... I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I did my best, but..." The elder Ba Jindou spoke, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Don't speak for now. Immediately adjust your breathing and suppress your injuries. From now on, leave it to me!"
Xiao Yunlong spoke, then looked up, his gaze as sharp as a blade locking directly onto the red-robed imperial advisor on the mountain ahead.
