Xiao Xuan's war knife lit up, and his speed suddenly increased. The originally bright blade radiance presented a light blue hue.
As his body surged forward, his trajectory formed a slightly curved arc, lifting off from the icy ground, with the blade light descending towards the approaching ice bear knight.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Xiao Xuan's actions were not without reason, as he directly avoided a frontal clash with these knights and instead cut towards the knight's flank.
Although he could not completely evade the cavalry's offensive, at least he had a chance to confront them one-on-one.
The blue blade light struck into the ranks of the ice bear cavalry, immediately toppling two knights to the ground, their ice bears sliced in half beneath them.
As a seven-star evolver, combined with the cold warrior's professional skills and the blue-level war knife, Xiao Xuan made a powerful first strike.
Another seven-star evolver was slower than Xiao Xuan. He waved his hand, and a scroll landed on the path of the charging ice bear cavalry. Instantly, several blocks of stone over a meter tall and half a meter wide appeared.
Due to the speed of the ice bear cavalry, as soon as these stones materialized, they served as an effective barrier. Several bears with thick legs crashed into them, causing them to stumble.
For life forms charging at such high speeds, even a slight obstacle could have a significant impact, let alone these very sturdy stones.
The front bears were forced to slow down, causing those behind to crash directly into them. Despite having trained for such situations, the chaos was still considerable when it actually occurred.
Following this, the seven-star evolver pulled out a long trumpet and held it in his hands. The section of the trumpet closest to his body had a slender metal tube; he placed one end of the tube in his mouth and blew hard.
From the trumpet's mouth, colorful sound waves surged forth towards the ice bear cavalry. Each musical note grew larger as it traveled, until the first note struck one of the ice bears, having already expanded to the size of an adult man.
One ice bear knight lowered his long spear, trying to knock away the strange note, but upon contact, his body shook violently, leaving him dazed and causing him to fall from his mount.
The knights behind trampled over him.
The two seven-star youths made an impactful entrance, giving the infamous ice bear cavalry of the Blood Nest a rude awakening.
These ice bear knights, who imposed their will in the Blood Nest, were not the same as the howling ice bear team; to them, such a team was an utter disgrace to the reputation of the ice bears.
This long-formed pride didn't waver even in the face of adversity.
Under orders, the ice bear knights quickly split into two groups, one engaging in combat with Xiao Xuan and his companion, thrusting their long spears at them. The other group stayed back, employing various skills and ranged attacks to cover the retreat of the two youths.
As for those sound notes, surprisingly, no one paid them any mind.
Just from this, it was evident that this hundred-man team was undoubtedly well-trained, exhibiting the iron will and fearlessness that elite battalions possess.
Xiao Xuan's long knife sliced through two long spears, and with his other hand, he thrust forward, sending a fireball that ignited one of the ice bear knights, sending him flying backwards.
When he landed, it was evident that two sections of armor on Xiao Xuan's side showed clear signs of damage.
After unleashing the attack with the long trumpet, Xiao Xuan's companion didn’t check on the results but instead stowed the weapon away, making a gesture of sacrifice with both hands, which conjured a scroll into his grasp.
Once the scroll appeared, he hurled it at the cavalry, then braced himself against the sturdy armor to withstand a ranged attack while retreating.
The scroll unfurled in front of the knights, and a wall of flames erupted at the spot, with the ice bear knights charging directly into the more than one-meter-thick fire wall.
