Chapter 368: Crisis In The North

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Freeze the entire northern region of the Daxia Kingdom? Is that possible? Could it be that Chen Yiming is being held back?” someone said in surprise.

This was the only possibility. As long as Chen Yiming was around, the Daxia Kingdom had never been breached. It was the only country on the blue planet that had a stable situation.

“I heard from my friends in Jiangnan City that some foreigners with blue hair and white eyes threatened to interfere with the space plan. Chen Yiming killed one of them and captured three of them for interrogation,” a middle-aged man said loudly.

“So it’s just a bluff.”

In the city, a martial arts expert who was watching immediately sneered.

This faction that called itself the Ice Valley had already had four of their members dealt with. Were they taking advantage of the lag time for news to spread to the north?

What a joke! They were not even at the level of warriors. If it was really that simple, the Daxia Kingdom would have long been engulfed in the flames of war. How could they continue with the space plan?

Besides, how could the snow monsters be as strong as the huge eye from Mount Everest? That was a terrifying existence that could control the large population from an entire country. But wasn’t it still forced into hiding?

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

When the blue-haired and white-eyed man heard the discussions of the martial arts experts in the city, he could not help but laugh. His evil laughter seemed to be mocking the discussions below.

The people in the Ice Valley had already received the news that Chen Yiming had been lured away.

As for the negotiations with Jiangnan City, it was not a problem at all. The plan had automatically entered the next stage.

Although the blue-haired and white-eyed man only knew that Chen Yiming wouldn’t be able to make it back in time and didn’t know the exact reason, it didn’t stop him from looking down on the entire Ice City arrogantly.

In fact, as long as he wanted to, he could freeze those who were just there to watch the show.

As the sound of his laughter spread, the atmosphere in the Ice City inexplicably froze. The blue-haired and white-eyed man had been behaving arrogantly in the city for quite a while.

In an underground base in the city, as if confirming the blue-haired and white-eyed man’s arrogance, a discussion about how to stall for time was underway. The participants were all the higher-ups of Ice City.

“Damn it! If not for the fact that Elder Huang wants to defend against the snow monsters, would this person have the chance to show off in Ice City?”

“Don’t let your emotions affect your decisions. The higher-ups have just issued an order to stall for time, so it’s naturally not unreasonable. Calm down.”

“Now, it’s a matter of whether the Ice City can withstand the attacks from the blue-haired and white-eyed man. Based on the performance of his companions in Jiangnan City, it’s very difficult for us to deal with him.”

“How dare he…”

Towards the end, his tone weakened.

It was true that they could not be sure whether the blue-haired and white-eyed man would dare to do anything out of line. After all, it was still unknown where the Ice Valley was, and the Daxia Kingdom’s overall thinking was focused on the space plan.

Chen Yiming was the only one who could resolve the situation with the Ice Valley. Once he was lured away, the consequences would be unbearable if anything happened to the Daxia Kingdom.

All the leaders had bitter expressions on their faces. They were really being threatened by the blue-haired and white-eyed man.

Time quickly passed by.

The blue-haired and white-eyed man from the Ice Valley looked towards the battlefield. There were four powerful snow monsters attacking the two martial masters, Elder Huang and Feng Wuji.

Although his line of sight was blocked by obstacles, the raging ice storm in the air could not be stopped. The terrifyingly low temperature turned the battlefield into a forbidden area. Other than the two sides that were fighting, no one else dared to approach.

The truly powerful snow monsters were mutated from the creatures from the otherworld. Each of them had fused with different amounts of ice crystal-like hair, and their strength varied.

As for ordinary snow monsters, they were formed by a special ritual that dispersed the power of the ice crystal-like hair. They did not have the ability to borrow the power of nature.

“It’s time!”

the blue-haired and white-eyed man shouted with a grunt.

He pressed his palms together. The power of the ice crystal-like hair in his body was triggered, and an invisible ripple spread out in the physical realm. Wherever it passed, buildings, people, and so on began to be covered in ice.

“Damn it!”

“How dare he!”

When the martial arts experts in the city saw this, they were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies. Before the blue-haired and white-eyed man made his move, no one could determine his strength.

After all, the higher-ups were still in an emergency discussion about whether the ice crystal-like hair could be regenerated indefinitely and whether the man was equivalent to a martial master.

If he was like his other four companions, the strength of the Ice Valley would be too terrifying. However, the situation did not seem to be too good.

“Die!”

Just as the Ice City was about to become frozen over, a clear voice echoed in the air.

A spiritual storm spread out from the center of the Ice City. Immediately after, the power of ice that was spreading out suddenly came to a stop, and was completely interrupted.

“Impossible!”

At this moment, the blue-haired and white-eyed man was dumbfounded. He had never expected anyone to be able to suppress the power bestowed by the mysterious existence.

There was nothing wrong with the ice crystal-like hair in his body. However, once the mysterious symbols inside were activated, an invisible spiritual power would interfere with it.

“As expected, suppressing the power from objects is too easy.”

A woman with a cold expression walked out wearing a white coat.

It was Wu Susu. Chen Yiming had talked to her about some of his cultivation experiences using the power of nature. At that time, the four blue-haired and white-eyed foreigners had caused a huge commotion in Jiangnan City.

The aftershock of the sneak attack on Wang Ronghui happened to be encountered by Wu Susu, who had also rushed over. She immediately tried to interrupt the spread of the frost.

Perhaps because her spiritual talent was too terrifying, she immediately found the special connection between the ice crystal-like hair and the power of nature.

This connection could only be understood and could not be described with words. It was similar to the resonance of spiritual power and the power of nature, and could not be told to others with words.

“Amazing!”

“We’re saved!”

“Who is she?”

The people who had escaped from the city heaved a sigh of relief and asked the surrounding people about the woman’s identity.

Among the famous experts in the north of the Daxia Kingdom, be it the civilians or the military, there were no such young female experts.

This was the truth. Even the leaders of the Ice City did not know the identity of this woman who had suddenly appeared.

After all, Wu Susu was just a low-profile researcher, and the head of the Jiangnan province’s biological research institute was Wu Weiguo. The attention of all parties would not be focused on a mere researcher just because she was the daughter of the head.

“Come down!”

Hearing Wu Susu’s cold voice, the blue-haired and white-eyed man came back to his senses. When he tried to escape, he realized that the ice crystal-like hair in his body had completely lost its connection with him.

Wu Susu had already used her spiritual power to seal away the ice crystal-like hair in his body, isolating it from the outside world.

“Ah! Help!”

The blue-haired and white-eyed man, who had lost his strength, was originally only in the disciple realm. He immediately fell from the sky.

“Boom!”

He was not very lucky. His head hit the ice and a pool of blood flowed out. It was quickly frozen by the low temperature.

“Is he pretending? Or did he commit suicide?”

Wu Susu could not react for a moment. She did not expect the blue-haired and white-eyed man’s true cultivation level to be so low that he fell to his death.

In reality, powerful warriors could indeed rely on the temporary eruption of their internal force to float in the air or glide for a short period of time. However, those in the disciple realm could not do this by relying on their physical strength alone.

At this moment, even the leaders of the Ice City who had rushed over froze.

The arrogant appearance of the blue-haired and white-eyed man was still reflected in their minds, but the scene of his head hitting the ground and him falling to his death was still shocking.

They really did not expect that after so many twists and turns, this person would die in such an aggrieved manner.

…

On a battlefield covered in snow, Elder Huang and Feng Wuji were forced to fight one against two, each facing two powerful snow monsters at the same time.

Elder Huang could control a type of transparent flame. At first glance, the temperature did not seem to be very high, but from time to time, the flames would burn the snow monsters so badly that they would roar in pain.

This was because he had found the snow monsters’ weakness. They were not as strong as they appeared to be, and most of their strength came from the ice crystal-like hairs in their bodies.

Since their true level was inferior to the two of them, it naturally reflected in the strength of their spiritual power.

The transparent flames happened to have the ability to burn through one’s spiritual power. Every time there was a gap between attacks, Elder Huang would find a chance to make the snow monsters suffer.

Feng Wuji, on the other hand, could only barely hold on. After his previous experience of being sealed in ice, he no longer let the two snow monsters get close to him easily.

This way, the ice crystal-like hair could provide the snow monsters with the ability to use the power of nature.

The power of nature at the same level collided with each other, and there was no obvious advantage of one over the other. Even if it was two against one, it would be difficult to take the opponent down even after a while.

Feng Wuji suddenly shouted, “What should we do? The two of us are being held back. There are fluctuations of the power of nature coming from the direction of the Ice City.”

Elder Huang gritted his teeth and unleashed a transparent flame attack, burning the two snow monsters until they covered their heads and wailed. He took the opportunity to widen the distance between them. “This can’t go on. If we rely on the two of us alone, the entire north will be finished.”
