Chapter 2864
Kai and his companions pressed on with their journey, but it seemed that the Three Monstrous Thieves were struggling to locate Su Yuqi and the girls for an extended period!
Kai found himself in a position where he had no choice but to rest and await updates from the Three Monstrous Thieves.
After all, moving swiftly through such a harsh terrain was incredibly taxing on one’s spiritual energy!
Just as Kai was about to settle down, a hurried figure suddenly appeared, rushing towards them from a distance!
Upon noticing this, Kai and the others immediately tensed up, taking defensive positions!
This was the first encounter they had since entering the Far North, and they had chosen a very hidden path, so encountering anyone was unexpected!
It was only then that Kai realized a fierce beast was pursuing the figure!
The creature was massive, its body cloaked in white fur, and with each step, it crushed several ice cones beneath its weight!
“Everyone, be cautious! That’s the ice bear monster…”
Wajang exclaimed urgently!
As the figure drew closer, he spotted Kai and the others and exclaimed with relief, “Brother, help me, please!”
Kai narrowed his eyes and recognized the figure as Yuan Bao, the one who had purchased the treasure map from Watt. He greeted him!
Yuan Bao, now visibly frost-covered, pleaded for assistance from Kai!
Both Yuan Bao and the Ice Bear Monster behind him were at the fifth level of cultivation within the Harmony Realm!
Despite their equal ranks, the true power of a demonic beast typically surpassed that of human cultivators!
Furthermore, this area was the Ice Bear Monster’s territory, leaving Yuan Bao with no choice but to flee!
“This guy is truly reckless; he’s led the Ice Bear Monster right to us!”
Wajang exclaimed angrily!
It was important to note that this Ice Bear Monster was of the fifth rank in the Combined Body Realm, and even if they banded together, they would likely struggle against it!
After all, none of them were particularly strong, with none above the fifth rank of the Combined Body Realm!
“Brother, please help me!”
Yuan Bao gasped as he stood before Kai!
“You, who can’t even handle that ice bear monster at your fifth rank, expect us—who are weaker than you—to save you?”
“Are you trying to drag us down with you?”
Wajang shouted at Yuan Bao, clearly frustrated!
Yuan Bao’s face turned red, and he looked at Kai and the others, noting that they were all at the second or third rank of the Combined Body Realm, none stronger than himself!
“I’m sorry! I’ll draw the ice bear monster away…”
Yuan Bao apologized, then vigorously waved his hand, stirring up the wind and snow as he sprinted off in another direction!
“Brother Yuan, wait! You can’t possibly defeat this ice bear monster; you’ll surely be caught! It’s better for me to face it!”
Kai called out to Yuan Bao!
“You?” Yuan Bao looked confused. How could Kai, with only a second rank in the Combined Body Realm, stand against an Ice Bear Monster of the fifth rank?
Moreover, in this frigid land, the Ice Bear Monster had a strength advantage, making it even less likely for Kai to win!
“Brother, I appreciate your goodwill, but with your strength, I fear the Ice Bear Monster could take you down with a single blow.”
“You all should flee quickly…”
Yuan Bao insisted, before darting to the side!
However, just a couple of steps into his escape, the Ice Bear Monster let out a thunderous roar and lunged at Yuan Bao!
Yuan Bao was startled and raised his arms to block the Ice Bear Monster’s attack!
But the Ice Bear Monster’s massive frame, coupled with the frost covering its body, was far too powerful for Yuan Bao to withstand!
In a split second, Kai dashed in and pushed Yuan Bao out of harm’s way!
With one swift motion, he unsheathed his Zeng Long Sword, and a brilliant light erupted from it!
“Chop…”
Kai shouted, unleashing a blinding radiance from the Zeng Long Sword that illuminated the entire sky.
