THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD
V2CH #249 ENTER THE ISLAND
After swimming fifty meters in the icy water of the lake, they finally saw a small Goa at the bottom of the lake.
They then entered Goa and it turned out that the situation in Goa was very dry, it is not submerged in water at all because in front of the entrance of Goa there is a protective field that prevents water from entering Goa. But the temperature inside Goa is very cold, cooler than the air temperature inside the ice tomb.
“Have we reached the inner island?” ask Heilong.
“Not yet. The island we are heading to is behind that ice gate,” Emperor Xin Feng replied as he pointed at a gate made of two gigantic ice blocks that were extremely thick.
Heilong observed the ice gate. “Why make a gateway from this thick ice only to restrict the inner island and the outer island? This thick Gate is perfect if used as a royal gate,” Heilong chirps.
Xue Xian Hou immediately glanced at Heilong and replied with a sinister tone. “You know nothing about the usefulness of this ice door. This ice door is the one made by my Grandfather Emperor Xuan De, I can recognize this door very clearly because the aura emanating from this ice door is just like the aura emitting from grandfather's body. On this ice door was an extremely powerful protective formation, named the Northern Ice Gate Formation.”
Xue Xian Hou directly used the hint of ice strength that was at his fingertips to attack that ice gate and an image of a protective formation with an image of an ice turtle instantly appeared on the surface of the gate that ice.
“You saw the image that was inside that formation. It was an image of an ice turtle that was a fire-destroying Beast. It seems like my Grandfather purposely made this door to block the heat emerging from the Wind Phoenix Scepter from spreading out and burning the entire Northland Forest,” Xue Xian Hou said as he pointed at the image of the ice turtle that was in the middle of the formation for Heilong to see clearly.
“I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I didn't know that it was a door that your Grandfather made with the aim of protecting this place.”
Heilong immediately apologized to Xue Xian Hou after seeing a hint of anger on Xue Xian Hou's face as he unintentionally insulted the door made by his Grandfather.
Xue Xian Hou took a deep breath to calm himself down. “It's okay, I'm the one who should be apologizing. I always cannot control my emotions if someone insults something related to my Grandfather because Grandpa's the only person who loves me since I was a child.”
“Then how do I open this door? This ice door was so hard to open, I tried to push it with all my might but instead my arms were bent,” said Emperor Xin Feng who was standing in front of the gate with his hands covered in ice.
“There are only two ways. First we have to use the Northern Ice Gate Opening Technique. And the second way is that we have to destroy that formation,” Xue Xian Hou replied.
“Then there is nothing to worry about since you are the grandson of Emperor Xuan De so your grandfather should have also taught you the technique to open this gate,” Heilong said staring at Xue Xian Hou.
“It is a shame that I have had to disappoint your expectations this time because even though I am the grandson of Emperor Xuan De and a Princess of the Green Tortoise Kingdom but since childhood I was raised in the neighborhood of the Snow Jade Sect. I only met my Grandfather a few times who purposely visited me before he disappeared. And most of the time I have with my grandfather, I spent it chatting about the circumstances that were inside the palace because I had never returned to the palace since I had stayed within the sect,” Xue Xian Hou replied.
“You never returned to the palace at all? Do you not feel at all homesick with your relatives living inside the palace,” Heilong asked slightly surprised.
“I have my own reasons about that. One day, I will tell you when the time has come,” Xue Xian Hou replied.
“So there is absolutely no way to open this ice gate other than to destroy the protective formation protecting this gate first,” asked Emperor Xin Feng suddenly.
“True,” replied Xue Xian Hou.
“But if I destroy that protective formation then the heat inside will spread out and burn the entire Northland Forest,” Emperor Xin Feng replied worriedly.
“There is no need to worry. As long as the gate is not destroyed then the formation will reappear after a minute despite being destroyed many times,” Xue Xian Hou replied.
Emperor Xin Feng became relieved after hearing the reply from Xue Xian Hou. He instantly took out his Wind Storm Jade Spear and began to infuse his wind energy into the spear. In an instant the Spear that was in Emperor Xin Feng's hand instantly shook with great force and gave rise to an aura of wind energy that instantly enveloped all parts of his spear. Emperor Xin Feng then pointed the tip of the spear towards that ice gate.
“Wind Spear Tiger Destruction”
“Boom .. Boom .. Boom ..”
This move instantly formed a shadow of the three-tailed White Tiger-shaped wind energy that instantly attacked the Northern Ice Gate Protective Formation that was on the surface of the ice gate using its extremely sharp and radiating claws the wind energy was terrifying.
But the shadows of the three white Tiger tails instantly froze as their claws touched the Northern Ice Gate's Protective Formation. This all happened because before Emperor Xin Feng had reduced the strength of his wind energy when he was about to use this stance. Emperor Xin Feng was afraid that if he used his full strength then the ice gate would also be destroyed.
“It looks like the strength of the protective formation is very strong,” Heilong said.
“No. I'm just afraid to use my full strength because when I use my full strength I won't be able to control this style and it's possible that the power of this will cause the ice gate behind that protective formation will be destroyed,” Emperor Xin Feng replied.
“You try to destroy that protective formation. Supposedly your fire energy would have an advantage when facing the protective formation made from ice energy,” Xue Xian Hou said staring at Heilong.
“But the sword I used to use my fire style just broke,” replied Heilong.
“I believe you must have another way that you can use to bring out your fire style. While I was in the snowy Teak Forest I saw a dead body of a Snow Tiger that burned to the ground by the force of fire, but I found no trace of the sword in the body of the Snow Tiger. All I found was the fingerprints of a human,” Xue Xian Hou said.
Heilong was speechless because it was true what Xue Xian Hou had said. Back then he had indeed only used his index finger to attack one of the Snow Tiger King's men.
Heilong'pun came forward and directly hit hard on the surface of the Ice Gate with his fist that had been enveloped with white flames. However the flames that Heilong had in hand started to dissipate and his fists slowly started to be frozen by the might of the Northern Ice Gate Formation. Heilong'pun directly pulled his hand back.
“What's just got there is your ability! How can you protect your loved ones if destroying the protective formation alone is not able to,” Xue Xian Hou's taunts who deliberately wanted to make Heilong angry because he knew that Heilong would only bring out his full strength when he was angry.
This ridicule from Xue Xian Hou turned out to be a success making Heilong become angry because Heilong returned the ridicule coldly. “Be quiet, I will prove that I can destroy this protective formation.”
Heilong finally remembered when he fought Lin Chong Wei, he had once used the sword style of fire poison by using an heirloom drawstring whip. Heilong instantly took out his navel whip and infused his fire energy the depth of the whip while making a move to bring out the Flame Poison Sword's stance.
“CAMBUKU A THOUSAND API”
Heilong directly smashed his navel whip into the ice protective formation after the jutsu was issued ready and the formation was immediately destroyed by being attacked by thousands of needle-sized flames that emerged from the Heilong whip attack.
“Emperor please help me push the door on the left and I will push the door on the right. Let Xin Ye and Xue Xian Hou enter first,” Heilong exclaimed as he looked at Emperor Xin Feng.
“Good,” replied Emperor Xin Feng while nodding his head.
Emperor Xin Feng and Heilong immediately pushed the Ice Gate together according to Heilong's instructions.
When the door was opened, it, Xue Xian Hou directly raised Princess Xin Ye's body to bring her running through the gate because the time she had to pass through the ice gate was very short, which was only one minute.
Heilong and Emperor Xin Feng instantly caught up after Xue Xian Hou and Princess Xin Ye had managed to enter first. The gate was finally closed again after they all made it through the gate and finally they all managed to enter the inner island.
As they entered the inner island they all felt a little surprised because the air temperature here was not as hot as they thought. The air temperature in this place is almost the same as the air temperature outside the tomb.
