Chapter 50: Leng Sufeng
Cold! Bone-chillingly cold!
Simply looking at the white-haired man, Qi Bei felt as if his eyes were about to freeze over.
Suddenly, the white-haired man lifted his head, revealing his pupils that were as white as an endless expanse of snow and ice. He was a man who seemed to have been carved from ice, from head to toe, every hair on his body appeared to be made of ice. His overall appearance was undeniably eerie.
As Qi Bei’s gaze met the white-haired man’s, he felt a jolt in his heart. The flow of blood throughout his body began to slow down, as if it had been frozen.
*Roar*”… Die!” Jin Gang, like a moving fortress, roared and charged toward the white-haired man. Every step he took caused the ground to shake violently, and the hard bluestone on the street was crushed, leaving behind huge footprints.
When he was about ten yards away from the white-haired man, Jin Gang jumped up with great force, and his fist, as big as a bowl, made a sharp sound as it smashed toward the white-haired man’s head.
The white-haired man casually lifted his hand and lightly waved it, causing a frost to spread all around.
“Bang!”
Jin Gang’s fist hit the white, almost transparent palm of the white-haired man, and he was frozen in midair.
The white-haired man’s palm bent slightly backward, and his icy eyes flashed with surprise. Suddenly, he shook his hand and a flurry of ice crystals quickly spread around Jin Gang’s fist.
However, unexpectedly, Jin Gang was only frozen for a second, and then a dazzling light appeared at his arms, instantly shattering the ice layer.
“Roar…” Jin Gang roared wildly, and his other fist thundered toward the white-haired man. In the extremely fast fist shadows, there were faint flashes of beast-like images.
“Ice Bursting Fist.” The white-haired man coldly shouted, and also punched towards Jin Gang with his other fist. It looked like he only threw one punch, but in fact, he threw dozens of punches in an instant. The accumulation of his fist’s strength caused even the space to slightly warp.
“Boom…”
Jin Gang’s expression was ferocious, and the exposed blood vessels on his arms were pulsing rapidly. Suddenly, Jin Gang groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward.
Qi Bei’s pupils flashed with a trace of gold, and his body shot up like lightning, placing his palm behind Jin Gang and catching him. Jin Gang’s gaze was almost crazy, and Qi Bei could feel the huge mysterious power inside him fully reviving.
“Listen to me, don’t go berserk.” Qi Bei whispered. He didn’t want Jin Gang’s berserk ability to be exposed to the public unless it was a matter of life and death. This was not only Jin Gang’s trump card, but also his trump card. Before reaching a certain level of strength, it was best not to reveal it. If they had to reveal it, they needed to be on the verge of life and death, or silence all witnesses.
Jin Gang’s body trembled, and the madness in his eyes gradually began to subside.
As soon as they landed, Qi Bei shot up again, gliding toward the white-haired man. It didn’t look like an attack, but rather like going to die. The white-haired man’s face was expressionless, and suddenly he lifted his hand, causing ripple-like energy to appear in the air.
Qi Bei was hit in the chest and flew out, stumbling several steps before standing firm, with a trace of blood on his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Qi Bei stood up again and glided towards the white-haired man.
The white-haired man used the same move, and Qi Bei was sent flying again, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, before flying towards the man again.
The white-haired man furrowed his brows slightly and used an even stronger ice-cold energy. If it wasn’t for Emperor Han Mo’s instructions to not hurt this seemingly brainless young man, he would have already separated the boy’s head from his body.
Qi Bei was hit again, screaming in pain and spitting out a cloud of blood mist towards the white-haired man. The white-haired calmly lifted his hand, causing the cold air to roll towards the blood mist.
“Ice wall!” The white-haired man coldly shouted, and in an instant, a wall of ice formed in front of him. However, at that moment, the white-haired man’s pupils shrank as two golden fingers silently pierced through the ice wall and pointed towards his chest.
Instinctively, the white-haired man covered his body with Ice Armor made of battle qi. With a “pu” sound, the two fingers tapped on the ice armor, and an eerie force penetrated through the armor.
The white-haired man felt a sharp pain in his chest, almost causing him to pass out.
“Almost there, too bad!” Qi Bei sighed with regret in his heart. He had just used the Divine Dragon Art’s internal energy to intercept the white-haired man’s vital points. Unfortunately, the man’s battle qi armor was too strong, and his core battle qi was at least of King grade, which made it difficult for Qi Bei to inflict a fatal blow.
“You all will die!” The white-haired man was angry, and his body flashed with icy flames. The ice jade longsword stuck in the ground suddenly trembled and flew into his hand.
“Leng Sufeng, you can’t kill Qi Bei Nord, have you forgotten the orders of His Majesty?” The commander of the Dragon Armor Legion shouted anxiously. They were just here to intercept Qi Bei and take him back to the imperial capital. If he died, the Nord family would probably make the entire Golden Leaf Empire chaotic.
However, the white-haired man called Leng Sufeng didn’t listen. He was a proud warrior who practiced a Holy-grade Battle Qi technique, the Frost Heart Battle Qi, and was still injured by a kid. If he didn’t kill him, he couldn’t calm his anger.
Moreover, he was not a subordinate of Emperor Han Mo, but owed him a favor five years ago and promised to do this task to repay it.
Leng Sufeng didn’t use his sword at first because he disdained using it against such lowly ants. That would be an insult to his sword.
But now, he couldn’t care less about that. He swung his sword with both hands, and a tens of yards long ice sword aura slashed toward Qi Bei and Jin Gang. The ground cracked, and the fissures were quickly covered by ice.
Qi Bei’s clothes covered his hands, and his internal energy boiled and surged. His hands began to dragonize.
However, at that moment, a dramatic change occurred.
“Stop him!” The commander of the Dragon Armor Legion suddenly shouted. With a toss of his halberd, it transformed into a beam of frigid light, hurtling towards Leng Sufeng. Then, the crossbowmen fired a barrage of arrows, using the magic arrow net originally used to deal with Qi Bei to trap Leng Sufeng.
