The Battle Through Heaven
Terrified
As the faint laughter floated, the hearts of everyone in the hall stiffened slightly. They lifted their eyes and looked up. In the doorway, a young man dressed in black stood carelessly while smiling. A ray of sunlight happened to shine in the hall. At first glance, it was as warm as a smile on the young man's face.
Their gazes swept over the smiling delicate and handsome face before stopping at the pair of dark black eyes. There, his eyes did not hold back the slightest smile there. Instead, they were indifferent and ice-cold.
Seeing the figure of Xiao Yan, everyone in the large hall hurriedly took a few steps back and charged towards Luo Bu's side. Even some people of unknown origin on the side also acted in this manner.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept once around the inside of the hall before slowly entering. Behind him, Xiao Ding and the others also walked into the room and stared at the group of people opposite with ill intentions.
"Company Leader Luo Bu, your ways are very cruel."
After sweeping his gaze at the few people whose clothes were very different from the members of ‘Sand’ Mercenary Company, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and immediately shifted them towards Luo Bu who was sitting on the chair. He smiled and said, "It seems that letting you live last time was a mistake."
Stared at by Xiao Yan's pair of cold eyes, Luo Bu's body felt somewhat cold. He twisted his body agitatedly, tilted his head and looked at his subordinates who were swarming behind him. The corner of his eyes twitched slightly while the tea cup in his hand was formed into powder with the sound of ‘hard’.
"Are you the person called Xiao Yan?" The tea mixed with powder as it followed his hand and dripped down. However, Luo Bu did her best to make her expression a little more indifferent as she asked.
"I don't know exactly what your background is and I don't want to know. However, shouldn't you give me an explanation for the arrogance and breaking into my ‘Sand’ Mercenary Company today? " Luo Bu said with a cold smile.
"Ke Ke, I'm sorry. There is no explanation! " Xiao Yan scratched his head and said with a brilliant smile, "If you insist on having it, then I want to destroy this mercenary company of yours."
Luo Bu's face twitched a few times. Xiao Yan's brazen expression always caused Luo Bu to be filled with anger. Moreover, under this fury, there was an internal struggle from Luo Bu for not being able to clearly see the true strength of the opponent. Luo Bu clenched his teeth and violently slammed his hand against the table in front of him. Immediately, the hard surface of the table turned into shards all over the floor with the sound of ‘Ka Cha’.
"Alright, today, I really want to see on what basis you will destroy ‘Sand’ Mercenary Company!" With an angry shout, the powerful Dou Qi quickly agglomerated on the surface of Luo Bu's body. A moment later, a thick Dou Qi Armor covered his upper body.
"Since you all have surrendered yourself to my door, it saved me from some trouble. Today, you can all stay here! " The strong Dou Qi that started surging within his body also caused Luo Bu's confidence to gradually strengthen. When he waved his large hand, the pressure of the Da Dou Shi level immediately filled the interior of the hall.
Sensing this powerful suppressing Qi, the expressions of Xiao Ding and the others changed. Their footsteps involuntarily took a step back.
Xiao Yan calmly watched the gradually thickening force on Luo Bu's body. He then closed his eyes slowly. The Qi throughout his body was stored completely within his body. If one did not feel carefully, one would truly treat the young man before them as an ordinary person who was unfamiliar with Dou Qi.
Seeing the strange actions of Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding and the others beside him were confused. However, they did not open their mouths to interrupt as they quietly stood behind Xiao Yan.
After Xiao Yan closed his eyes for a moment, surprise suddenly flashed on the indifferent face of Hai Bo Dong at the side. He tilted his head and watched Xiao Yan intently. Under his common sense, the Qi of the young man in front suddenly became very foreign and terrifying. He frowned and muttered uncertainly in his heart, "This Qi! What power! Even my present self cannot be compared to him. This guy, what's really going on? One minute he only had the strength of a Dou Shi, the next minute he had become this terrifying monster. What a mysterious freak! "
Hai Bo Dong's strength far exceeded everyone present, so he could feel the Qi in Xiao Yan gradually becoming more and more terrifying. However, the rest of the people did not have this kind of feeling. They could only see that the current Xiao Yan seemed to close his eyes and rest.
Luo Bu furrowed his brows when he saw this strange action of Xiao Yan. Anxiety gradually surfaced in his hearing. Waving his hand, he said deeply, "Kill them all!"
Hearing Luo Bu's orders, the ten plus elite members of ‘Sand’ Mercenary Company behind him exchanged glances with each other. Immediately, they clenched their teeth and pulled out a sharp weapon from their waists. Some Dou Shi quickly summoned their Dou Qi robes and in a fairly imposing manner, attacked Xiao Yan.
Seeing the other party's actions, Xiao Ding's expression turned cold. He waved his hand and was about to lead the people to rush forward when Hai Bo Dong at the side suddenly told them in a soft voice, "No need to act, no need to act, all you need to do is observe!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ding fell silent for a bit. He turned his head and exchanged glances with Xiao Li. Soon he nodded his head. Although they were unfamiliar with Hai Bo Dong, someone who could be called a strong person by Xiao Yan would definitely not be too weak. He was naturally able to see further and deeper compared to Xiao Ding and the others.
After stopping the people behind him, Xiao Ding's gaze stared intently at the members of ‘Sand Mercenary Company’ who were storming. Some sweat appeared on his tightly clenched palm.
When the ‘Sand Mercenary Company’ member was about to reach the attacking range, the tightly shut Xiao Yan finally opened once again. Black eyes had a lower vitality than a young man and instead underwent a change from the experience of the world.
As the thick white flames lit up and disappeared, the bodies of the ten plus mercenaries suddenly stopped. Following which, a layer of pure white ice suddenly spread from their feet in front of the many shocked gazes. In just two to three short seconds, the ten plus human figure had completely transformed into a pure white ice rod scuplture!
"Hissing!" Observing the mercenaries who had solidified into ice rods, the skin on Hai Bo Dong's face, suddenly and quickly twitched a few times. He violently inhaled a breath of cold air in his heart. Others might think that the ice sheet agglomerated from the cold air but for someone who had been playing with ice for most of his life, the stick was not formed from some kind of ice-cold energy.
In Hai Bo Dong's sense, when ten more mercenaries were covered by layers of ice, they instantly turned into nothingness. It was the true kind of absence. Not even his ashes are left!
Although this kind of white-colored crystal-forming body was very similar to ice cold, Hai Bo Dong was very confident that this was not ice cold. This was because within the crystal body, there was a high temperature that almost became a terrible wither.
"This guy's actions are really too horrible! Is this his true strength? " Hi Bo Dong's throat rolled a little. Once again, he rejoiced at not choosing to fight Xiao Yan on the spot when he once again recovered his strength back then.
The sudden appearance of ten more human ice bars in the hall caused the place to become lifelessly silent. Everyone's faces were filled with fear as they stared at the human-shaped ice statue that appeared without any warning. All over their bodies, they suddenly had an ice-cold feeling that suddenly emanated from their hearts.
In addition to Luo Bu, some Dou Shi who were not members of the ‘Sand Mercenary Company’ also observed ten ice plus statues with dull faces. Anxiety gradually surfaced in their hearts. They currently had a slight feeling that Luo Bu's perception back then seemed to be correct.
"This time, it'll be troublesome." The man who became the leader muttered in his heart.
Upholding his head slightly, Xiao Yan indifferently looked at the stunned Luo Bu who was sitting on the chair. His footsteps slowly passed between the ten plus ice sculptures. As he rubbed past them, the human-shaped ice sculpture let out a ‘Ka Cha’ sound and exploded. When the ice sculpture broke, there was not a single shred of blood or flesh inside. This supernatural scene caused the skin on everyone's head to go numb.
Xiao Yan's footsteps slowly entered the hall. A moment later, under the clear view of the many gazes, he stood in front of Luo Bu. He lowered his head slightly and pulled the tip of his mouth, which seemed to show a smile. In a soft voice, he said, "Last time I've given you a warning. Why are you still so stupid? "
"Gu!" Luo Bu's throat rolled over as he swallowed some saliva. From his forehead, cold sweat ran down his face and trickled down. He raised his head and looked at the gentle and handsome face of the young man who carried a thin smile. A bone-chilling chill that was hard to control began to seep from his feet, causing him to feel as if he was inside an ice house.
At this moment, Luo Bu felt a breath of death as well as terror that engulfed him before facing death.
Luo Bu's teeth clenched his teeth tightly, seemingly unwilling to lose without a fight. He used all of his strength to push the Dou Qi in his body. Immediately, the layer of Dou Qi Armor on the surface of his body became even harder.
Carrying some ridicule in his gaze, Xiao Yan stared at the defiant Luo Bu even when he was about to die. He smiled gently and his long white hand slowly lifted up. After that he floated gently towards Luo Bu's neck.
Luo Bu stared intently at that increasingly large hand. He wanted to dodge it only to suddenly realize that at this moment, his own body had not listened to his orders at all. It was as if the owner of the body had changed.
A fair and long hand that was like a woman's hand gently landed on the thick layer of Dou Qi Armor on Luo Bu's neck. Xiao Yan smiled faintly. Then that layer of Dou Qi Armor started to melt automatically.
With his eyes shrinking to the current size of the pinhole, Luo Bu could feel that the Dou Qi Armor was rapidly melting. After which, he did not even have time to say a word as an icy palm was gently placed down his throat. At this moment, all the pores in Luo Bu instantly and suddenly became vertical. The faint shadow of death was entangled in his heart.
"S Master! Have mercy!"
During the exchange this time, Luo Bu finally and precisely sensed the other party's frightening strength. His body sat stiffly on the chair, afraid that with a slight movement, the hand of the death god would suddenly bite taking away his little life. His face was as pale as a zombie and cold sweat seeped all over his body. In an instant, his clothes seemed as if they had been wetted with water.
"Did you know there was news about Qing Lin?" Xiao Yan slightly tilted his head, suddenly smiled and asked in a soft voice.
Hearing this, Luo Bu was slightly surprised. As he was silent, the palm on his neck suddenly became even colder. The bone-chilling coldness caused him to instantly shiver from the cold. He raised his head and looked at the pair of eyes that were as black as ink and indifferent as ice. He did not have the slightest doubt that if he hesitated for a moment, the other party would immediately freeze him into an ice rod. Immediately, his head hurriedly nodded. His voice was rather hurried and sharp due to his fear, "Master, I know!"
Congratulations, your life has temporarily returned to your hands.
Xiao Yan laughed softly and slowly withdrew his hand. Even though his smiling face was as warm as the scorching sun, it still caused Luo Bu and the others to feel a chill in their bodies.
