Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Frozen Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Frozen “How could this be!”
Luke Hall stared blankly at the broken dagger in his hand, his mind a blank slate.
This was supposed to be a sharp weapon!
Capable of slicing iron as if it were mud!
In the hands of any ordinary person, even a Grandmaster!
If they were stabbed in the back with it, they would be dead on the spot!
But now, the man was completely unhard?
“You, why is that?”
Elaenor Wood turned around, smiling as he asked.
He had co from Boulevard!
Outside his skin, there was a layer of ancient ice that had solidified over a thousand years!
It was like a protective shield, rendering him impervious to knives and hidden weapons.
“I…” Luke Hall threw away the dagger and took a deep breath, “Prepare to die!”
His right hand transford into a claw, and he violently reached for Elaenor Wood’s face!
Crack!
Elaenor Wood swept with the paper fan in his hand!
A flash of blood followed.
Luke Hall’s arm was severed and fell to the ground.
“Hiss…”
He winced in pain, clutching his hand as he looked at the profusely bleeding stump, his face turning even paler!
Could it be that the youth before had been feigning incompetence?
It didn’t seem like it!
No matter how you looked at it, they were not the sa person!
Even their eyes, deanor, and tone of voice were different.
Aside from the face, they were completely two different people!
“Steward of Seven Clouds Academy!
What a move!”
Luke Hall said painfully, “You even managed to deceive !”
“Steward?” Elaenor Wood heard this title once again.
“Explain to clearly, what exactly is a steward?”
He asked again.
“Aren’t you the steward of Seven Clouds Academy?
You just killed my brother, and now you deny it?” Luke Hall felt both sha and anger.
He was also confused, since when did Seven Clouds Academy possess such a formidable character?
“I am not the steward, nor do I know any steward.
I have nothing to do with Seven Clouds Academy,” Elaenor Wood looked at the old man before him, pointing to his own face, “You judged based on my face?”
Elaenor Wood was no fool.
Since he had been mistaken for soone else repeatedly, it must be because of his face.
The face is the easiest mark to identify.
“Could it be…
that it’s not you?” Luke Hall squinted, his face showing a hint of pain.
Despite the blood continuously flowing from his arm and his makeshift bandage with a torn-off sleeve, he felt weak.
Pain!
The amputated arm truly hurt!
“I’m asking you, you said I killed your employee, when did that happen?” Elaenor Wood put away his paper fan and asked lightly.
“An hour ago!” Luke Hall thought for a mont, then spoke up.
If he rembered correctly, it should have been an hour ago.
“An hour ago, I had not yet entered Cook’s City,” Elaenor Wood suddenly smiled.
Soone who knew he would co to Cook’s City and could also mimic his appearance.
Only the Saint Master.
He knew of the Night Fairy.
The part of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance that was best at disguises.
It seems, the situation was becoming more interesting.
Elaenor Wood looked around, seeing only frightened martial artists.
Most of them were injured, lying on the ground, screaming in agony.
But even more were dead.
As if erased from existence.
Those who were alive had terror in their eyes, desperately trying to escape.

But their bodies were already torn asunder, barely moving caused unbearable pain!
“You…
won’t kill ?”
Luke Hall spoke up, his voice carrying a hint of hope.
But Elaenor Wood didn’t reply, just walked farther away.
“Sooner or later, I will personally take your head!” Only when Elaenor Wood was about fifty ters away did Luke Hall crouch down to bandage his wound with the clothes from a corpse.
“It’s really strange!
They look identical, yet they seem like two completely different people?”
Recalling the behavior of the two, Luke Hall felt sothing was off.
But as he was bandaging his wound, Elaenor Wood slowly crouched down.
His right hand gently touched the broken road.
The road that hadn’t been walked on for decades had now been ravaged by three rounds of shell fire, looking utterly devastated.
“Freeze.”
Elaenor Wood closed his eyes and whispered softly.
A faint, invisible white breath followed his fingers, spreading across the road.
Frost patterns began to form.
Then!
As if a wild wind, it began to spread!
The speed of the frost’s spread was getting faster and faster!
The injured on the street were sealed as soon as they touched the frost.
Like ice sculptures!
The coldness kept assaulting them!
When Luke Hall lifted his head and sensed the danger,
he saw a layer of ice forming under his feet.
Crack!
Luke Hall lifted his leg, and it broke off.
A second later,
his entire body was frozen!
In his eyes, there was still confusion.
To his death, Luke Hall believed he still had a chance to survive.
At a glance,
the road stretching for miles was covered in a thick layer of frost.
The flas had already been extinguished.
On the road lay many people, frozen in the postures they had held in life.
So were running, others were sprawled on the ground.
There were also those who had stood up, attempting to escape.
Even more were lying down,
their bodies still in the motions they had made in life.
Even the expressions of agony on their faces were preserved.
“Huff!”
Elaenor Wood exhaled.
Imdiately, breath appeared in the air.
“How nice.”
He chuckled lightly and instantly opened the paper fan in his hands.
Swoosh!
“Let’s go and see where the ‘Saint Master’ is.”
Elaenor Wood stepped forward, heading into the city.
The ‘Saint Master’ was indeed in Cook’s City,
and had given him a welcoming gift.
It is only polite to respond in kind!
He had to pay his respects.
Zain Ellsworth leaped into the air and landed on the part of the street not covered in ice, closely following dicine God.
“Could it be, the ‘Saint Master’ knew we were coming?”
He asked aloud.
“Indeed!”
Elaenor Wood nodded and said, “As I’ve told you before, only by knowing both the enemy and oneself can one fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat.
The ‘Saint Master’s’ understanding of and my understanding of him are almost equal.”
Whoosh!
With that, he flicked his white paper fan,
and a fine, barely visible breeze slowly blew across the road encased in ice.
Boom!
The next mont,
the ice that covered the streets, the people sealed by it, and the remains of the frozen trucks
were turned into powder by Windy Johnson’s breath!
Sparkling and translucent, the powder dissipated into the air.
And on the road, apart from the marks of shelling, nothing was left.
…
“Mad Dragon, where are we heading?”
Inside a warehouse in Cook’s City,
Julius Reed and Templeton Lena sat in a truck, preparing to leave.
Templeton Lena, who sat in the passenger seat, couldn’t help but ask.
“This truck has a speedboat in the back!
Knowing Devlin, he’s already blown up the docks; how else would we take a boat?”
Julius Reed put the truck in gear, the engine roaring as they left the warehouse.
“I had discreetly found out before, this is Starlight Group’s warehouse for ergency supplies.
There are boats, food, and tents.
Now is the perfect ti to slip away unnoticed while Elaenor Wood diverts attention elsewhere!”
“Brilliant!”
Templeton Lena gave a thumbs up.
Right now, all of the martial world’s powerhouses were focused on Elaenor Wood; it was unlikely that anyone would notice them.
A trip to Shadow Gate required speed.
Julius Reed didn’t care for the Divine Dragon Tripod.
It was a decoy.
However, he wanted to et the head of Shadow Gate!
To inquire about the truth behind the defection years ago!
Devlin, the head of Shadow Gate!
Why had that team collectively rebelled back in the day?
Thinking this, Julius Reed narrowed his eyes.
He pressed hard on the accelerator!
As long as they made it to Shadow Gate, the answer would surely be revealed!
