Revelation of the Way of Heaven

"Bang, bang, bang." Three gunshots rang out, and the three ice spikes in front of Su Lie shattered. Jiang Han pulled out two silver pistols at some point.

Just as the ice spike shattered, Su Lie rushed to the melancholy man's side.

"Boundless Fist!" Su Lie roared, his fist covered in a layer of golden light, and then he swiftly smashed it towards the melancholy man.

However, just as Su Lie's fist was about to reach the melancholy man, an ice wall suddenly appeared in front of the man, blocking Su Lie's way.

With a cracking sound, the ice wall in front of the man shattered under Su Lie's fist. However, the power of Su Lie's fist was completely dissipated by the ice wall, posing no threat to the man whatsoever.

"You're quite strong, but you're still far from enough to hurt me," the melancholy man said with a cold laugh.

"Hmph." Su Lie snorted coldly. Although he was dissatisfied with the man's arrogance, he was helpless and could only take a step back to prevent the man from launching a sneak attack.

As Su Lie retreated, Jiang Han immediately shouted, "Explosive Bomb!" Instantly, a silver light streaked across the sky and shot towards the melancholy man.

"Ice Soul Shield." The man shouted coldly, and a thick ice shield formed in his hand, meeting Jiang Han's explosive blast.

With a loud "bang!", countless ice shards flew everywhere, reflecting the light in the tomb chamber and making it sparkle like glass. Judging from the colorful light alone, the tomb chamber was practically paradise.

Although the explosive bomb was powerful, like Su Lie's Boundless Fist, it only shattered the man's ice shield.

"Shiyi, are you ready?" Jiang Han asked the girl next to her. From the beginning, the girl named Shiyi had not made a move, but was forming hand seals and chanting incantations, seemingly preparing a powerful skill.

Shi Yi nodded, then took a deep breath, her expression solemn, and slowly recited: "The Art of Wooden Prison".

As soon as the girl finished speaking, countless vines sprouted from the walls and ground, centered on the melancholy man, and surrounded him—the same move that had just trapped Qin Xiaochuan.

"Hmph, now you can't escape. You'd better surrender obediently," Su Lie said smugly to the man.

"Hmph." The melancholy man chuckled coldly.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Lie was taken aback when he saw the man, who was in dire straits, still looking disdainful.

"I just want to tell you that in the future, when you arrest others, you must first consider your own situation."

"What do you mean?" Su Lie looked at him in confusion, but he understood the answer without the man's reply.

It's unclear when it started, but the feet of Jiang Han and the girl, who were at the other end of the tomb, were completely frozen in ice. Not only that, the ice was rapidly spreading to their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, their lower bodies were completely fused with the ice on the ground.

"When did you start...?" The bespectacled man looked at the melancholy man in disbelief.

"In the darkness," the man said with a sneer, "now, I'm leaving."

As soon as the man finished speaking, an ice spike emerged from beneath Su Lie's feet like a bamboo shoot and quickly pierced towards him.

Seeing this, Su Lie quickly dodged to the side and kicked the ice spike in half. The man took advantage of this moment to bypass Su Lie and run out of the tomb. But when he reached the door, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Han Kexin, the woman who had disappeared somewhere just moments before, suddenly appeared in the tomb chamber at this very moment.

Her appearance startled everyone in the tomb, especially the man who was about to escape. He thought Han Kexin was with Su Lie and the others. In his panic, an ice spike appeared in his hand, and it seemed he was going to fight Han Kexin in close combat.

However, to everyone's surprise, Han Kexin acted as if she hadn't seen the man at all. She neither tried to stop him nor showed any intention of fighting. She simply walked slowly into the room towards Qin Xiaochuan, completely clearing the entrance to the tomb chamber.

Seeing this, the man had his doubts, but he didn't want to cause any more trouble. He stopped the ice pick he was about to use to stab Han Kexin and quickly disappeared into the dark stairwell.

"Damn it!" Su Lie shouted angrily, and then took a step to chase after him.

"Don't chase after him," the girl said coldly. "It's no use if you chase after him alone." As she said this, the ice on her body was already melting away.

Han Kexin walked up to Qin Xiaochuan, and an ice blade appeared in her hand. She swung the ice blade a few times, and the vines broke apart, finally freeing Qin Xiaochuan.

The girl watched Han Kexin do all this without stopping her. Only after Qin Xiaochuan was completely rescued did she ask Han Kexin, "Who are you people, and why are you here?"

Han Kexin did not answer, but instead took out a silver badge from her person.

"So you're a member of the Adventure Club." The girl smiled and said, "My name is Guo Shiyi. We completely misunderstood this guy's (she pointed to Qin Xiaochuan) actions. We apologize to you. As for our identities, you've probably seen them." She then pointed to a badge on her chest.

"What adventure club? And what's with that badge?" Qin Xiaochuan was completely bewildered after hearing Guo Shiyi's words, and couldn't help but glance at Guo Shiyi's badge a few more times.

Guo Shiyi seemed to notice his gaze, her face showing some displeasure, but she didn't say anything. However, Han Kexin saw everything and said with a sneer, "You little brat, you're incredibly audacious, daring to provoke even a demon hunter."

"Huh? No way, you actually said that about me?" Qin Xiaochuan felt his face getting slightly hot, thinking to himself, "This misunderstanding is huge!" So he quickly changed the subject: "I was just curious, what is a Demon Hunter?"

"Haven't you heard of demon hunters?" Guo Shiyi seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened, and was slightly surprised when she heard his question.

Qin Xiaochuan nodded, but then Han Kexin explained for him, "He's just a newbie who's just started out, he doesn't know much."

He glared at Han Kexin with displeasure. He realized that she was deliberately trying to embarrass him.

"Hmph." Han Kexin snorted coldly, looking up and completely ignoring his dissatisfaction.

Guo Shiyi seemed to have noticed something, smiled slightly, and then explained to Qin Xiaochuan, "The Demon Hunters are an organization established by the Human Security Action Group. Their purpose is to gather various superhumans to hunt down demons that threaten human safety."

Judging from Guo Shiyi's words, the Demon Hunters must be an organization that specifically hunts down the Blood Witch Clan. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Han Kexin, but she remained calm and seemed completely unconcerned.

Qin Xiaochuan then thought of another question: Was the person who just escaped also a member of the Blood Witch Clan? Was that why Han Kexin didn't stop him from running away? He asked Guo Shiyi with a hint of doubt, "Was the person who just escaped a demon?"

"That person just now should be 'Defector' Mo Yu, right?" Han Kexin answered Guo Shiyi's question for him.

"Huh, you know her?" Su Lie couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Han Kexin's words.

"After all, he's a celebrity among your demon hunters, isn't it normal to know him?" Han Kexin said coldly.

"Since you know him, why didn't you stop him?" Su Lie glared angrily at Han Kexin, but his momentum immediately deflated when he saw Han Kexin's cold eyes.

"Why should I help you?" Han Kexin said coldly, as if she couldn't stand not offending everyone. "Besides, you just said you were going to beat up this guy." She pointed at him with her thumb.

Qin Xiaochuan was surprised that Han Kexin was standing up for him, and he couldn't help but feel excited. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Han Kexin was already here at that time, so why didn't she show up? If she had come out and taken out her badge, wouldn't there have been no problem at all?

"Alright, alright, it's all a misunderstanding." Guo Shiyi quickly stepped in to smooth things over, then said to Su Lie, "She really has no obligation to help us. Besides, Mo Yu's strength is undeniable. Even if she had helped us, it would still have been impossible to keep him here while Jiang Han and I were trapped."

Jiang Han, who was standing to the side, nodded and said, "Shiyi is right, Su Lie, don't be impulsive anymore."
