Only now did the Xi Queen realize that when she was seeing the blur, the arrow that had created the blur had already struck her.
Dismay, shock, panic… countless emotions flitted through the Xi Queen’s eyes.
Bang!
A moment later, a terrifying energy erupted from the arrow in her chest.
“Aaaah!” The Xi Queen screamed out as she trembled, and she was carried away more than two hundred feet by the power of the arrow and slammed into the ground.
“Bastard!”
The Xi Queen bounced off the ground and got to her knees.
Her black hair was in disarray as she raised her head and glared at the fortress.
The lunge the Xi Queen had instinctively made out of fear had saved her life. The arrow that should have shot through her heart had missed by several inches and failed to take her life.
Now that she had survived, her savage Xi nature erupted.
“Since you dare to treat me this way, don’t blame me!”
There was a fierce gleam in the Xi Queen’s eyes. A moment later, she pressed her arms against the ground and grabbed.
Kaclack!
A wave of cold energy seemed to be drawn out of the earth, and as soldiers from both her side and the enemy side watched in shock, the Xi Queen began to exert an enormous pull, drawing in all the snow and cold air around the area of the alliance army and coalescing it into crystalline ice drills that shot out of the ground.
These ice drills rapidly expanded to lengths of three to four hundred feet.
As these ice drills crazily grew, they began to coil around each other as if they were alive. In short order, they had combined into a magnificent and broad ‘ice bridge’ that seemed straight out of a dream.
Everyone was struck dumb by this.
“Ice Element ability! I did not expect the Xi Queen to have such frightening Ice Element cultivation!”
Beneath the six banners, An Lushan’s eyes flew open in surprise, his lips trembling.
When it came to cultivating the Five Elements, they were easy to start but difficult to master.
The ability the Xi Queen had displayed marked her as not merely an Ice Element cultivator, but one who had reached the very apex and could be considered one of the strongest such experts in the world. This was a surprising harvest for An Lushan!
He had never envisioned this when first recruiting the Xi Queen.
Even the Khitan King was flabbergasted.
He had known the Xi Queen for a long time, but he had never seen her use her full abilities or unleash such frightening strength.
The arrow that Wang Chong had ordered to be loosed against her had apparently completely provoked her ire.
The sight of the crazed Xi Queen caused the Khitan King to shiver.
Cold air surged as the Stellar Energy in the Xi Queen’s body was rapidly consumed. But at this moment, she no longer cared. Although the war had yet to reach its most intense moment, she had been thoroughly enraged by Chuluohou’s arrow.
Kaclack!
The ice bridge extended with astonishing speed, and with a crisp crack, an ice bridge that was around six meters wide and one meter thick connected to the walls, followed by a second, a third, a fourth… In just a few short moments, a series of large ice bridges leading straight to the walls had appeared.
“Bastard! I’d like to see how you deal with this!”
The Xi Queen gnashed her teeth in hatred.
But despite her words, after creating the ice bridges, the Xi Queen immediately began to flee.
Her powers had been greatly reduced by this massive consumption of Stellar Energy, and she no longer had the ability to contend against a Great General.
Staying any longer meant certain death.
“What are you looking around for? Go!” the Xi Queen rebuked as she ran past a group of soldiers.
“You bastards, hurry up and receive me!”
Hearing this, several nearby generals began to ride toward the Xi Queen, and even the distant Khitan King yelled and began to ride over.
Bang!
In a flash of light, another heaven-shaking arrow blasted toward the Xi Queen.
But this time, with a thunderous crack, someone blocked Chuluohou’s arrow. It was none other than Great General Tiechi Bileli.
Tiechi Bileli was the Eastern Turkic Khaganate’s elite Great General, and even Zhang Shougui had had a hard time with him. He was more than capable of blocking this arrow.
“Bastard!”
The Xi Queen, though she had escaped this calamity, had turned ghastly white from fear, and she continued to flee like a frightened bird.
“Woman, it seems you’re quite nimble!”
