Shi Qian perceived the slight relaxation in the spirits of the three Second Grade Peak Cultivators and wielded his sword forcefully once more, frustration and melancholy showing on his face as he resumed battle with the two First Grade Cultivators in front of him.

In his heart, he silently cursed.

Fools!

A bunch of fools!

Just now, it was all an act.

The purpose was merely to lower the vigilance of the three Second Grade Cultivators heading towards Wang Ye's side.

Making it easier for Wang Ye to succeed.

However.

Shi Qian knew that Wang Ye had a hidden ace, aware that he was pretending. But Du Jiantang and Yao Xin didn't know.

Thus, Du Jiantang and Yao Xin, exerting all their might, fought against their opponents, causing continuous setbacks, even resorting to injury-for-injury tactics in hopes of keeping the three Second Grade Peak Cultivators.

Shi Qian watched from the side and sighed.

These two First Grade Officials, having immersed themselves in the Ice Sect for so many years, had no need to remain there any longer. They had fulfilled their duties over the years.

Yet now, they still fought desperately to protect Wang Ye.

However, to not let the plan fail, Shi Qian could only watch Du Jiantang and Yao Xin behaving so.

On the wooden boat.

Wang Ye listened to the roars of Shi Qian outside. Although Shi Qian's roars seemed genuine, Wang Ye could hear the performative nature in Shi Qian's voice.

A smile played on Wang Ye's lips.

He already knew Shi Qian's purpose.

To buy him an opportunity.

The three Second Grade Peak Cultivators clearly had relaxed quite a bit.

And because Du Jiantang and Yao Xin constantly attempted to obstruct, they were somewhat anxious.

Wang Ye's first firecracker was already aimed.

With his current strength, Wang Ye still needed to use firecrackers one by one.

He couldn't control three firecrackers simultaneously.

Wang Ye channeled his spiritual power onto the firecracker.

The formation patterns on the firecracker's surface began to ripple, one after another, activating the power contained within, about to explode.

Bang!

The next second.

The Golden Thunder Avenue Power contained within the firecracker was launched like a cannonball.

Golden Thunder Avenue Power, in itself a destructive force when used.

And when Wang Ye used the firecracker to concentrate these powers, their strength increased to an ultimate level in an instant.

The entire wooden boat was enveloped by the Shadow Path Power of Shi Qian.

The Shadow Path Power, something Shi Qian felt from Shadow.

Who is Shadow?

In Guo Yi's era, Shadow was considered one of the prodigious figures.

If not for Guo Yi, Shadow would have been the strongest of that era.

And Shadow always followed Guo Yi during his rise, his strength at that time reaching the Half-Step Emperor Lord realm.

This was because Shadow was on the verge of advancing to become an Imperial Lord but couldn't due to an issue with the Cosmic Path.

Otherwise, Shadow's realm would be that of an Imperial Lord today!

Shi Qian had mastered it less, but within the First Grade Cultivator realm, he only enveloped the small place of the wooden boat with Shadow Path Power, though the area it covered was small, its effect was significant.

People outside couldn't see inside from the outside.

Neither naked eyes nor divine sense probing methods were effective.

Thus, this provided Wang Ye with room to maneuver.

Bang!

The next second.

The golden thunderous berserk power shot outward fiercely.

Darkness.

Even though the Golden Thunder Avenue Power had been launched, the three Second Grade Peak Cultivators advancing towards Wang Ye's side were unaware of what happened.

They wore smiles on their faces.

If they could capture Wang Ye, it would be a significant merit for them in this event.

The Second Grade Peak Cultivators had only come to idle away time, not expecting to find such an opportunity for merit.

The leading Second Grade Peak Cultivator's eyes were wild with fanaticism, just a meter away from the wooden boat, reaching forward with a hand like an eagle catching a chick, intending to grab Wang Ye as he entered the darkness.

Yet the next second.

His pupils constricted wildly.

He saw a concentrated gold, mixed with thunder power, rushing towards him like a cannonball.

Emerging from the black mist.

The cannonball moved quickly, and with only a meter between him and the wooden boat, during his reaction time, his body continued to move forward.

Thus, even seeing it, he couldn't react in time.

"No!"

He roared, unable to dodge, concentrating all his power into a shield in front of him to protect himself.

At this moment, he had no time to wonder why inside the wooden boat, someone could display power of such magnitude.

Wasn't Wang Ye the only one inside?

These questions never crossed his mind.

He was utterly shocked!

Never did he anticipate being struck by the Golden Thunder Avenue Power just when he was about to succeed.

His only thought was to survive the blow!

If he could endure it, he still had a chance to survive; otherwise, death was his only outcome.

The Golden Thunder Avenue Power seemed to possess its own will.

Compressed within a firecracker, the Golden Thunder Avenue Power was furious.

Now, finally unleashed, it wanted to destroy everything in its path.

As the Golden Thunder Avenue Power made contact with the shield of the Second Grade Peak Cultivator, its ferocious force began to impact the shield.

Crack.

Cracks appeared on his shield.

Then.

The Golden Thunder Avenue Power ceased its spherical attack and started dispersing like thunder, infiltrating the shield through its cracks, attacking the Second Grade Peak Cultivator.
