Chapter 285 Xiaoxue, I was wrong, please spare my life!
As the appointed time drew closer, Feng Hua Xiaoxue began to feel nervous.
"Xiaoxue, are you nervous?"
Uchiha Mitsumine's voice came from behind, tinged with a faint smile.
He held a dark mask in his hand, with simple cloud patterns carved on it, which just covered his entire face.
He walked to Xiaoxue's side, raised his hand and condensed Yin-Yang Release chakra. Pale purple, bright white, and crimson gold colors intertwined in his palm, instantly transforming into an exquisite seven-colored longsword.
The sword is about two feet long, and its blade shimmers with seven-colored light, as if a rainbow had been crushed into the metal. It is both magnificent and exudes a chilling aura.
"This sword..."
Feng Hua Xiaoxue stood up in surprise, her eyes fixed on the seven-colored longsword, clearly sensing the immense power contained within it.
Uchiha Mitsunori handed her the longsword: "When you acted in 'Princess of the Wind and Cloud,' didn't you have a scene where you wielded a sword to kill enemies? Just like in the show, you could defeat your enemies with a simple swing."
"Really?"
Feng Hua Xiaoxue gripped the sword hilt; the cool blade calmed her flustered heart slightly.
Sanfeng smiled and gently rubbed her cheek, his eyes full of encouragement: "You'll see once you try it."
"Sanfeng, but... I'm still a little scared."
"Don't worry, I'll always be with you and won't let you get hurt."
He gently shook Feng Hua Xiaoxue's hand, and the pale black spatial passage instantly unfolded.
The next second, the two appeared in the square at the main gate of the Snow Kingdom's palace.
The soldiers on the palace tower, seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, immediately raised their weapons on alert, and the sound of horns instantly pierced the sky above the palace.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Snow King's Palace!"
The soldier on the city wall shouted sharply, his hand on the ninja sword at his waist, his eyes fixed on the two men.
Uchiha Mitsunori turned to look at Koyuki and said with a smile, "Koyuki, try wielding your longsword and show them your strength."
Feng Hua Xiaoxue took a deep breath, gripped the seven-colored longsword, and gently swung it forward as Sanfeng had instructed.
In an instant, the sword burst forth with dazzling seven-colored light, and a blade of light half a meter wide flew out from the tip of the sword, slicing across the black walls of the palace as easily as cutting tofu.
With a loud "boom," the city wall, several meters long, was instantly cut in half, the break as smooth as a mirror.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The guards on the city wall panicked completely and immediately sounded the alarm, the shrill sound echoing throughout the entire palace.
Before long, several figures rushed out from the depths of the palace. Leading them were none other than Feng Hua Nu Tao's capable henchmen: Lang Ya Xue Beng, He Yi Chui Xue, and Dong Xiong Bing Yu.
"How dare you destroy my royal palace walls!"
Wolf Fang Avalanche stared at the broken wall, his face ashen. He rapidly formed hand seals, unleashing the incantation, "Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale!"
With his low shout, the snow on the ground quickly gathered and transformed into a giant ice whale tens of meters long. The ice whale's sharp horn gleamed with a cold light, and it charged towards Xiaoxue with a howling wind.
"Don't be afraid, swing your sword one more time," Sanfeng whispered in Feng Hua Xiaoxue's ear.
Without further hesitation, Feng Hua Xiaoxue gripped her longsword and swung it out once more.
The seven-colored light blade surged again, like a rainbow slicing through the darkness, and struck the giant ice whale with pinpoint accuracy.
Without any obstruction, the ice whale was instantly split in two, turning into countless ice shards that scattered across the sky, leaving not a trace of chakra behind.
"How is this possible!"
Wolf Fang Avalanche stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
Crane Wing Fubuki and Winter Bear Ice Rain also had solemn expressions. After exchanging a glance, they simultaneously activated their ninjutsu.
"Ice Release: Dragon-Slaying Tiger!"
"Ice Release: Swallow Snowstorm!"
"Ice Release: Great Ice Prison!"
Three ice-style ninjutsu attacks simultaneously, the chilling aura almost freezing the surrounding air.
Feng Hua Xiaoxue's heartbeat quickened instantly, but she did not panic.
She remembered Sanfeng's words and the responsibilities she bore. She gripped the seven-colored longsword and swung it three times in three directions.
The three seven-colored light blades struck the Ice Tiger, Ice Swallow, and Ice Prison respectively. With three crisp sounds, the three ninjutsu were instantly severed, turning into useless ice blocks that fell onto the snow.
"How could this be...?"
The three members of Wolf Fang Avalanche were deathly pale, and they took several steps back, their eyes filled with fear.
Just then, the main gate of the palace slowly opened, and a figure dressed in black armor walked out. It was none other than the tyrant of the Snow Kingdom, Feng Hua Nu Tao.
He was tall and imposing, his eyes fixed on Xiaoxue like a venomous snake: "Niece, I didn't expect you to become so strong after years of exile. What brings you here—to retrieve the Snow Kingdom's 'secret treasure,' or to reclaim the throne?"
Feng Hua Xiaoxue reached up and removed the bronze necklace from her neck: "What you call a secret treasure is neither wealth nor weapon at all!"
Her clear voice echoed throughout the square: "That's the geothermal generator my father, Feng Hua Zaoxue, painstakingly created. Once activated, it melts the surrounding snow-capped mountains, allowing grasslands and flowers to grow in the Snow Kingdom, freeing the people from the suffering of hunger and cold! For power, you murdered my father, distorted the truth, and increased taxes, harming the people. Feng Hua Nutao, your evil deeds must end today!"
"Geothermal generator? I thought it was some kind of ultimate ninja tool... But even if you knew, so what? You think you can overthrow me?"
Feng Hua Nu Tao was stunned for a moment, then his expression became even more ferocious.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.
Asama Santayu led more than two hundred rebels over, including loyal followers of Fukasakusaku and the oppressed common people.
They held ninja tools and farming implements in their hands, their eyes filled with rage towards the tyrant.
San Taifu ran to Feng Hua Xiaoxue's side, excitedly shouting, "Your Highness! We're here! Today we'll kill Feng Hua Nutao and reclaim the throne!"
Looking at the rebels behind her, Feng Hua Xiao Xue raised her seven-colored longsword and shouted fiercely, "Feng Hua Nu Tao, today I represent the people of the Snow Kingdom to avenge the blood debt you owe us!"
Wolf Fang and Avalanche's three members rushed over quickly, trying to stop the others.
The seven-colored longsword in Feng Hua Xiaoxue's hand lit up again, and three even more dazzling blades of light flew out at the same time, slashing accurately at the three of them.
Before the three members of Wolf Fang Avalanche could even react, their bodies were cleaved in two by the light blade.
"waste!"
Seeing this, Feng Hua Nu Tao panicked completely. He never expected Feng Hua Xiao Xue to become so powerful.
Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and ran away.
Feng Hua Xiao Xue gripped her longsword tightly and swung it fiercely at Feng Hua Nu Tao's back. The seven-colored light blade shot out like a soul-chasing rope.
With a "whoosh," Feng Hua Nu Tao's calf was instantly severed.
"Ah... my legs..."
The raging waves, no longer arrogant as before, cried out in fear, "Little Snow, I was wrong! Please spare my life! I'm willing to return the throne to you!"
"Wind, Flowers, and Angry Waves, your crimes are unforgivable, die!"
A beam of seven-colored light shot out, and Feng Hua Nu Tao's head instantly fell to the ground...
