Guarding the Pure Land

"Great, fantastic!" cheered the onlookers.

"Haha, it's going smoothly now!" said Luo Xin, standing on the snow wall, addressing Qin Hu.

Qin Hu nodded.

"You can go on the attack now!" Qin Hu instructed the little snowmen on their side, pointing towards Yilan and the remaining snowmen on the snowy field.

Upon hearing the command, the little snowmen on their side immediately rushed towards Yilan, each wielding snow knives and spears. On Yilan's side, they also held their weapons, ready for the clash.

In the midst of the skirmish, the little snowmen dispersed one by one...

The audience on the sidelines grew larger.

"Luo Xin, do you sense anything unusual?" Qin Hu asked Luo Xin beside him.

"Hmm... What's unusual?" Luo Xin was puzzled, unable to identify any issues.

"Really, can't you see?" Qin Hu said.

"Oh, if there's something wrong, just say it. Why do you keep asking me?" Luo Xin said impatiently. He disliked thinking about things that required too much brainpower.

"Alright, have you seen Tianhua?" Qin Hu asked.

"Tianhua!!!" Luo Xin looked down in surprise.

"Yes, Tianhua! What is he doing?" Luo Xin asked Qin Hu, puzzled.

"Don't know, but considering the situation and the fact that we haven't seen him until now, there must be something wrong. He might be creating something powerful!" Qin Hu said.

"What do you think he could create?" Luo Xin asked.

"Don't know, but I think we should introduce ourselves as soon as possible. If Tianhua appears and joins forces with Yilan, it will be troublesome for us to win!" Just as Qin Hu finished speaking, he aimed his bow at Yilan...

Swish, swish, swish...

Qin Hu shot several arrows in succession at Yilan in the crowd.

Feeling the arrows approaching, Yilan quickly leaped aside.

"It seems the barrier just now consumed a lot of Yilan's energy!" Luo Xin remarked from the snow wall.

Saying this, he threw three spears!

The spears were fast, and Yilan couldn't dodge them. She could only reluctantly create a barrier for defense.

Boom, boom, boom...

The spears pierced through the barrier. At that moment, she couldn't help but think of Tianhua. Yilan looked at the approaching spears in despair and slowly closed her eyes...

On the snow wall, Luo Xin and Qin Hu smiled as they watched...

Boom...

The spear plunged into the snowy ground, but Yilan was nowhere to be seen. Luo Xin and Qin Hu looked in amazement at the spear on the ground!

In the air... wings... two snowmen were floating together...

"That was close, it almost happened too late!" Tianhua looked at Yilan in his arms and said.

Yilan didn't speak, just gazing quietly at him. She looked at the person who came to her mind in the final moment. At this moment, he held her like an angel, protecting her! Although they were currently controlling a snowman, there was a warm current flowing slowly throughout Yilan's body. She hoped this could continue.

"Tianhua, you're amazing!" shouted Luo Xin towards the sky.

Qin Hu didn't speak but shot several arrows continuously.

Wings spread out, quickly enveloping the two. The snow arrows were blocked!

"Tianhua, it seems you put a lot of effort into making this snowman!" Qin Hu said with a smile.

"Yilan, watch from the side. I'll defeat them!" Tianhua placed Yilan on the ground and said.

Yilan looked at Tianhua, wanting to help, but the previous use of the barrier had left her with no strength!

"Tianhua, are you really that confident? Can you defeat both of us on your own?" Luo Xin loudly asked.

"Hehe... If I didn't have confidence, why would I have let Yilan deal with you two alone in the beginning?!" Tianhua said.

Luo Xin and Qin Hu didn't speak, suddenly launching their attacks. At this moment, everything seemed to speed up. Luo Xin and Qin Hu didn't take their time to create spears and bows as before; now they could easily throw several spears at once.

Tianhua opened his wings, soaring into the sky, avoiding the flying spears and arrows. Luo Xin and Qin Hu didn't stop but continued their assault. Tianhua dodged left and right, but he never counterattacked.

"Luo Xin, stop. He's trying to exhaust our energy!" Suddenly, Qin Hu stopped the attack.

Luo Xin heard this and immediately ceased the assault.

"Qin Hu, you're right, but you only analyzed half of it!" Tianhua said in the air.

After saying that, Tianhua shook his wings, and countless needles shot towards Luo Xin and Qin Hu. The two were surprised, hastily jumping down from the snow wall, standing at the corner. Tianhua in the air could precisely and accurately control their movements. He then flew towards them, continuing the attack!

Qin Hu and Luo Xin realized they couldn't avoid it anymore. Qin Hu had to create a large shield to block the needles, but layer after layer, the shield started to struggle.

"Luo Xin, this won't work in the long run!" Qin Hu urgently said.

"Yeah, you hold on; protect me!" Luo Xin said.

Luo Xin quickly ran to the side, and the shield extended with his footsteps. Tianhua, in the sky, focused on the extending shield.

"Qin Hu, retract the shield!" Luo Xin suddenly shouted.

Dozens of spears were thrown towards Tianhua. In a hurry, Tianhua evaded, and Qin Hu and Luo Xin seized the opportunity, both holding snow knives, attacking Tianhua from different angles!

Tianhua had the upper hand in the sky, and the two could only take the chance to strike him down!

Both directions blocked Tianhua's retreat, leaving him with no way out. He extended his wings, wrapping them around himself. The snow knives hit his wings.

At the moment the knives stopped on the wings, Qin Hu and Luo Xin were both stunned. The wings turned out to be much tougher than they had imagined!

The wings unfolded, and Qin Hu and Luo Xin were sent flying.

Seizing the opportunity, Tianhua, holding a long sword, flew towards Luo Xin. As the sword descended, Luo Xin, at a loss, realized that the wing had pierced through his own body!

Boom...

Luo Xin's snowman dispersed in the air.

Qin Hu was shocked and immediately jumped towards Tianhua. He swung his knife, and Tianhua turned to parry. The wings extended again towards Qin Hu, who was alarmed and quickly jumped back.

Snow needles reappeared in the sky. Qin Hu looked at the snow needles aimed at him in the air, trying to defend, but it was too late. Qin Hu was pierced by the snow needles, and as they melted, his snowman slowly melted too!

"Great!!!!!!!!!!!" cheered the children on Tianhua's side.

Tianhua descended from the sky and landed beside Yilan. Yilan looked at him, smiling. The two snowmen slowly melted away!

"Tianhua, you're amazing! You thought of everything!" Luo Xin shouted as he ran.

Tianhua jumped out of the snow and looked at everyone, laughing loudly.

"Yes! Tianhua, your idea is brilliant!" Qin Hu also commented.

"Tianhua, you're incredible!" the children cheered on the side.

"Tianhua, how did you come up with this?" Yilan asked.

"If all our snowmen were the same, our chances of winning in a fight would be about the same because our abilities wouldn't differ much. However, if we tamper a bit with the snowmen, the odds of winning increase significantly. But it takes time to create that snowman, so I had you use the barrier to buy time!" Tianhua explained.

"Tianhua, you're truly amazing. I admit defeat this time!" Luo Xin said.

"I never thought Luo Xin would admit defeat!" Qin Hu chuckled.

Haha... everyone burst into laughter.

Laughter echoed in the air. At this moment, all the worries in Tianhua's heart no longer mattered. As a group of joyful birds, they played and frolicked here carefreely.

In winter, children had their joy, but adults had their own concerns.

"Tomorrow, you'll go into the secret room. It'll be another winter!" Inside the house, Qin Lan looked at Meng Long and said.

"Yes, but this year, I'm a bit worried about Tianhua. For the past three years, on the night before it snows, he has been alone on the mountain." Meng Long looked into the distance.

"I talked to him today." Tianlong then told Qin Lan about the events from this morning.

"Well... maybe I'll talk to him again sometime." Qin Lan said.

"Yeah, be careful. They're at a sensitive age now!" Tianlong advised.

"Yes, I'll be careful!" Qin Lan said.

"By the way, here's a scroll for you. If anything happens, open it!" Tianlong handed a scroll to Qin Lan
