Tao Zhaide nodded, and let go of the hand holding the little evil child: "Don't worry, the chicken spirit Niangniang predicts that I have thirteen years to live." So, I'm going to be able to survive today...... Definitely!"

Whew――――――――!

The blizzard, at this moment, suddenly began to intensify!

The snow flakes scraped from the mountain condensed into huge chunks of snow that fell from the sky and smashed into this Guanghan Palace.

Tao Zhaide took a deep breath, then turned around and stood at the peak again, looking at the entrance to the Guanghan Palace, which had been blurred by the wind and snow.

Seeing Tao Zhaide like this, the little evil child was also a little relieved. She turned and walked out of the gate. As she was about to descend the stairs, she turned her head again to look at the blank look, smiled, and closed the door.

"Why would you like such a fool?"

"And what about you? Why would you like such a fool? ”

"Did I say I liked him?!...... Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehehe, little slut, what else do you have to pretend to be in front of me......? I'm afraid we're really thinking too simply. ”

"yes...... Young Master of Canglan Gate, I don't know what this person's strength is. But what kind of strength is the person who can make Xiao De so nervous?"

"I don't know. Now all I can say is that I believe in Tao Lang. It's like you believe in your virtues. ”

"So...... We're on the same page, aren't we?"

"Huh...... This is probably the first time we've agreed on an idea. ”

"yes......"

Footsteps, little by little down the stairs.

The girl's self-talk also disappeared. The entire peak of the Guanghan Palace was once again replaced by the silent blizzard and crystallization.

The surrounding ice crystal butterflies fluttered their wings, struggling to stay in shape in the blizzard. And their owners. At this moment, he is standing firmly on top of this peak, clenching his fist, releasing it, squeezing his fist again, and releasing it again.

In my breath, there is a cold crystal......

He's waiting.

Every guest waited on the edge of the arena, waiting for the duel.

All the disciples of the Guanghan Palace were also waiting at the moment. Wait for their palace master to repel the intruders.

All the animals are waiting now. Although they don't know what to wait for, they rely on the animal's intuition. They also know that they must be patient and wait now.

The entire Guanghan Palace, at this moment. are waiting.

Wait from morning to noon. Then wait from noon until evening, and then wait until the white expanse of the sky is replaced by darkness. Around the arena, the ice crystal butterflies acted as lighting, emitting a cold blue-white light, illuminating everyone's faces like ghost fires, turning pale.

At this time, everyone is still waiting.

Wait......

Wait until the time. It was ten o'clock in the evening.

The guests in the stands were waiting, waiting for them to fall asleep. It was eleven o'clock.

And then, the man on top of that pinnacle, he's been standing here all day. Didn't eat or drink, just looked at the gate like that. He's waiting...... By the last day of the year, the time had come to 11:55.

And then......

When ――――――!!!

Suddenly, the ice bell of the Guanghan Palace was suddenly struck!

The ice bell was built by the little evil child Tiyì and hung in an attic below the peak where Tao Zhaide now stands, and it will ring the bell to welcome the new year in the middle of the night.

When-when-when-when!

The bell rang, every time, as if it was hitting the heart of everyone present!

Dangdangdangdang!

Obviously, the interval between each sound is the same, but why does it seem to be getting faster and faster in the ears?

Dangdangdang---Dangdang――――――!!!

Finally, the bell fell.

When the bells slowly dissipated in the snowstorm, they all became quiet again......

Tao Zhaide stood on top of the peak in a daze, a little wooden.

And everyone in the entire Guanghan Palace is now very puzzled.

The guests looked left and right, and no one would get up, but none of them knew what to do next.

For Tao Zhaide...... Is this feeling a disappointment, a snicker, or a ......? Feeling a little relieved?

At least, the nerves that had been tense for a day were finally relaxed at this time. Tao Zhaide straightened up and patted the snow on his body. Immediately, he was ready to turn around......

Boom -

However, at this moment, a figure appeared at the gate of Guanghan Palace in the snowstorm of the night!

Tao Zhaide's footsteps that were about to leave immediately stopped! He quickly turned his head and stared at the figure that appeared at the gate!

The figure is very blurry. Even this palace master of the Guanghan Palace, in this dark snowstorm night, could not tell who the person in front of him was at the first time.

However, the figure still walked slowly this way, not in a hurry, not slowly. It seems so timeless, and there is no feeling of rushing over at all.

After thinking about it, Xiao Debt, who was sitting in the main stand, immediately stretched out his hand and waved, and the Spirit Shuangshu beside her immediately rushed over like a ghost. Accompanying the two girls rushed out together, there were also those ice crystal butterflies hovering in the night sky.

The two souls stood diagonally in front of the figure, each carrying an ice cage containing three glowing ice butterflies to lead the way. The rest of the ice butterflies were lined up on both sides of the road between that person and the martial arts arena, forming a walkway of light. And those ice guards are also out of the way at this moment, holding weapons, waiting on both sides.

The young master of Canglan Gate - Fang Zi.

His clothes were a little ragged, the stubble on his face had not been shaved off, and his whole person looked a little sloppy. He held a wooden stick as thick as a bowl in his hand, dragged it upside down on the ground, and followed his footsteps as he slowly walked towards the martial arts arena.

Whew――――――!

With the sound of the wind, the Lord of Guanghan Palace descended from the sky. An ice lotus flower that happened to bloom on the ground became his buffer, allowing him to stand firmly on the snow, standing in front of the man.

"You're here? you've been waiting for me for a day. ”

Tao Zhaide smiled slightly.

And Fang Zi on the other side also smiled and nodded: "I'm sorry...... Kept you waiting for a day. I...... Here it comes. ”

After saying that, his body shook suddenly, and without warning, he threw himself forward, and fell on top of the snow.

Followed by......

Blood flowed from under him.

Not only him, but the other guests around him and the people of the Guanghan Palace were all stunned on the spot, not knowing what was going on! After about two seconds, Tao Zhaide finally reacted and immediately rushed forward!

"Brother Fang, Brother Fang, what's wrong with you?!"

Some people in the spectator seat jumped down directly, pulled out the matching sword they carried with them, and rushed towards Tao Zhaide! Obviously, it was the eyeliner that Canglanmen had arranged a long time ago. But before Tao Zhaide could rush to Fang Zi's side over there, suddenly, a black flame suddenly fell from the sky, smashing Fang Zi's side!

The raging flames, the high temperature generated, even melted the ground of this martial arts arena at this moment!

The surrounding ice guards sensed the intruder, and immediately raised the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the falling black flame! But before they could touch it, a hand suddenly stretched out from the black smoke and shook it, and those ice guards didn't even have a chance to get closer, they were directly melted!

And Tao Zhaide looked at this black flame, but the expression on his face was distorted at this moment......!

"Dad, be careful!"

hand, waving at Tao Zhaide. A dark flame shot directly at him! The little debt next to him sensed the problem and immediately rushed up, and the dark fire also rose from his body, and he took this black flame hard!

However, under the hard fight, the flames on the body of the little debt were completely dispersed under this blow, and the whole person was directly smashed into Tao Zhaide's arms. Tao Zhaide hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, but he didn't expect the blow to be so heavy that he was knocked out of the martial arts arena until he stopped.

Boom Boom!

Immediately afterward, four more dark flames descended from the sky and landed beside Fang Zizi, encircling him.

The four scarlet monsters, all covered in flames, with only two eyes revealing madness and evil, seemed to be completely ignoring everyone around them, just staring at Fang Zi lying on the ground. One of the Black Flame Demon Men reached out and grabbed Fang Zi, the dark fire burning on his back, and the familiar pain immediately caused him to let out a scream of pain!

"Wow, ah――――――――!!!"

"Brother Fang, Brother Fang!!"

Tao Zhaide shouted, and one of the Black Flame Demon Men heard Tao Zhaide's voice, and immediately turned his head, raised his hand, and pointed his fingertips directly at the little debt in his arms.

Seeing the other party make this kind of action, Tao Zhaide's face instantly turned pale! He hurriedly picked up the little debt and ran to the side, but he had just jumped out of a step, and a violent explosion immediately exploded behind him! Tao Zhaide only felt a numbness in his back, and the whole person flew out as if he had lost control, and fell heavily on the ground next to him.

"Daddy!"

Xiao Debt, who was tightly held in Tao Zhaide's arms, noticed that his father was injured, and suddenly became nervous. She almost screamed and hugged Tao Zhaide's unconscious body, and tears fell urgently.

On the other side, those Black Flame Demon Men completely ignored the Canglan Sect people who rushed up, and directly grabbed Fang Zi, who was in great pain. After confirming that he was still alive, these five Black Flame Demons immediately turned into five pillars of fire and rushed into the dark sky! (To be continued......)
