Chapter 1117: Chapter 161: There’s a Big Devil Here
The staggering Leng Feng suddenly drew his sidearm, aiming it at one of the men from the Management Bureau.
But the sight danced in Leng Feng’s vision, shifting left and right… double vision, triple vision, he realized his body felt heavy and he was gradually losing control.
Leng Feng shook his head vigorously, but it did nothing to improve his state.
Just as he was about to recklessly pull the trigger, the man in front of him rushed forward and punched him in the abdomen. The intense pain instantly broke the last bit of Leng Feng’s consciousness, and he finally collapsed onto the man’s shoulder.
“This guy’s willpower isn’t just ordinarily strong,” said the man, shaking the bell in his hand.
Leng Feng, now motionless, slowly stood up straight, but his eyes were already empty.
“He’s exceptional among ordinary people, after all, he is a soldier,” another man said indifferently. “Alright, I’m going to check the front, you handle things here.”
“Don’t worry, controlling Leng Feng makes it much easier and more relaxed,” he replied with a smile.
The man who was about to leave nodded, speaking in a low and powerful voice, “For the future.”
He replied in kind, “For the future.”
The sound of the bell was like a spring emerging from the ground, slowly seeping out, reaching every place within the dense mist… transmitting into the ears of everyone in the long queue.
…
“Do you hear something?”
At this moment, Akiko suddenly turned her head, looking at Ren Ziling and Lizi—her sensitivity to abnormal sounds was naturally because she was trained as a female warrior from the Song Family’s village.
Perhaps it’s not just sensitivity to sounds, but also a sensitivity to impending danger.
“What sound?” Ren Ziling listened intently in confusion—aside from footsteps and low conversations, she basically heard nothing else.
“Maybe I misheard,” Akiko nodded, feeling as if her head was a bit heavy, and her focus was beginning to waver.
Unexpectedly, Ren Ziling suddenly screamed, as Lizi had unexpectedly attacked from behind, slipping her hand into Ren Ziling’s neck.
In this cold weather, the icy hands reaching into the gap at her neck instantly made Ren Ziling yelp.
“Lizi, are you trying to get yourself killed!!”
Yet Lizi just chuckled, apparently not satisfied with just teasing Ren Ziling, she then turned her attention to Akiko, slipping her cold hand into Akiko’s clothes as well.
“Akiko, you really are… a hidden giant (beep——)!”
A piercing icy chill made Akiko shudder, but it also instantly cleared her head, the dizziness disappearing in a snap.
“Sorry, sorry, it’s just too cold,” Lizi pleaded with an apologetic look on her face.
A white furry ball quietly merged into the dense mist, swiftly heading towards the front of the line.
…
With quick strides, followed by a few rapid jumps, the Management Bureau man leaped out of the mist in an instant, arriving in front of a mountain village.
At this time, the village had been flattened, as if situated within the eye of a storm in the misty area.
There were several streams of people around, continuously emerging from the mist’s periphery, then gathering in front of this mountain village ruin… the Management Bureau man’s expression was grave, and he rushed swiftly to the center of the village ruins—a red-glowing sky hole.
“How is it?” When the man arrived, there were already seven men in black wearing Bronze Masks around the sky hole.
Seeing the man approach, one of the men in black said seriously, “The Soul Orb is about seventy percent full, bring the remaining people here, and we can probably plete its crafting.”
The man nodded, approaching the edge of the sky hole, looking down, murmuring to himself, “Million Soul Orb… hope it can be forged in time.”
“It will definitely succeed,” the man in black patted his shoulder, but then suddenly spoke in a low voice, “Did you e back alone?”
“What’s the matter?” The Management Bureau man furrowed his brow.
Only to see this man in black thrust his palm forward, releasing a heavy Hand Force!
In the distance, the ground exploded under the impact of the black-clothed man’s palm force, a white furry ball dashed out in panic, and with a cold snort, the man in black swung his arm again, sending out a cyan arc of light that split the white fur ball in two.
“You were followed!” the man in black said, looking at the Management Bureau man.
The man’s face changed slightly, and he instantly turned back along the original path — watching this, the man in black waved his hand, and immediately two more men in black followed.
…
Amidst the motion, Lizi’s face suddenly changed slightly.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Lizi’s expression, Ren Ziling couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Nothing… just a bit hungry.” Lizi stuck out her tongue.
Miss Ren habitually rolled her eyes, “Let me see, I think I brought a few pieces of chocolate when we came out… God knows how long it will be before we stop and rest, so you better eat something first.”
With that, Miss Ren began rummaging through her backpack.
But at this moment, Lizi suddenly shot two ice needles as thin as a hair from her palm — one aimed at the back of Ren Ziling’s neck, and the other at the back of Akiko’s neck.
The two fell instantly, and Lizi rushed forward to support them, whispering, “I’m sorry, just think of it as a slimming acupuncture, okay? The path ahead can’t be taken… I don’t know what’s happened, but it’s clearly a dead end!”
Taking a deep breath, Lizi quickly retreated with the two women in tow — with her abilities, protecting herself was certainly not a problem, and taking Ren Ziling and Akiko was just barely manageable.
Any more, and she would be helpless.
Just as Lizi was retreating for only a few minutes, a huge sound came from behind her!
“So quick, they’ve caught up!”
In the thick fog, the loud noise was clearly the sound of a bullet firing — and at the same time, a blaze of fire exploded beside Lizi!
Lizi waved her hand, raising an ice shield in front of her.
The moment ice and fire clashed, they melted away, and Lizi nervously watched this foggy world — only to see a figure slowly emerging from the fog.
The man held a pistol in his hand, pointing at the three of them, “I really didn’t expect there to be a demon hiding among ordinary people… you hid yourself well, almost tricked me.”
“I just have this little skill!”
Lizi, unfazed, playfully smiled and said, “Uncle, I neither kill nor do evil, I’m an honest and law-abiding citizen… as for you guys, whatever you’re up to, I didn’t see anything. These two are my friends, I just need to take them away… is that okay?”
“It’s not up to you.” The man snorted coldly, pulling the trigger again.
Lizi had never seen this kind of shooting from a pistol before, and hurriedly raised three ice shields in succession to block the bullet.
But before Lizi could react, two more sounds of piercing air came from behind her.
Lizi was shocked, gritting her teeth, as a fierce snowstorm whirled up around her — the snowstorm was ten meters high, forcing back the attacker from the side.
Shortly after, the snow whirlpool dispersed.
At this moment, Lizi was wearing a white kimono, with a deep blue belt tied into a bow like a butterfly on her back.
“Turns out to be a Snow Demon, doesn’t seem to be native to China… humph, foreign little demon, dare to cause trouble!” The attacker snorted coldly, raising both hands, and flames sprung from his palms.
On the other side, the Management Bureau man holding a gun and another man in black also approached.
Seeing this, Lizi’s demonic eyes slightly narrowed, yet she held Ren Ziling tighter, while forcefully pushing Akiko to the side — Akiko, unconscious, was enveloped in a chill, her whole body flung towards the man in black.
The moment Akiko was flung, a gust of wind and snow rose around Lizi… within the snowstorm, Lizi disappeared with Ren Ziling.
The man in black waved his hand, deflecting the oning Akiko, who slammed into a nearby rock, shattering it — her fate unknown.
“Chase! There can’t be any mistakes in our plan!” The man in black cursed angrily.
The three quickly vanished into the fog.
Meanwhile, a burst of cold suddenly emanated from Akiko, trapped under the shattered stones — after which, clusters of white fur emerged from beneath her, quickly carrying her away.
…
Gathering the wind and snow, Lizi sighed, yet saw only a vast expanse of white around her, unable to distinguish the path. She lowered her head to glance at Ren Ziling, noticing her lips were just a bit pale.
“Ordinary people would surely freeze to death… Sister Ren, your constitution is indeed strong.” Lizi’s eyes flickered with a strange color, then she glanced back, “Akiko, I’m sorry, after all, your origins aren’t very clear, whether you live or die is up to fate…”
“Leave it to fate? You definitely won’t survive—!!”
The cold voice, like a demon, emerged from all directions—this made Lizi’s expression change drastically. Those guys, they managed to catch up in an instant?
Rolling heat waves surged up at this moment, instantly evaporating the surrounding thick fog, revealing a vast expanse—unknowingly, the place ahead turned out to be a cliff!
In the sky above, a man in black, exuding blazing flames, looked down. Lizi waved her hand to shoot out a stream of cold air, but before it even got close, it was instantly evaporated into nothingness.
“Just a mere Snow Demon, dare to behave recklessly in front of the Vermilion Bird Clan!” the man in black snorted coldly.
“Vermilion Bird!” Lizi exclaimed in horror.
The presence before her radiated the aura of a pure huge powerful monster… She was just out for a stroll, why did she run into such a terrifying guy?
Nevertheless, the man in black ignored her, and at this moment, he spread his arms, and hundreds of fire feathers in the air converged and shot down madly!
In the thick fog, the man from the Management Bureau said, “Elder Qu, leave one alive, refine the souls! This Snow Demon’s Essence Qi is not bad!! That woman’s Spiritual Energy is even more abundant, radiating brilliantly, of very high quality, can be used for the final refinement of the Soul Orb! It will definitely enhance its effects greatly!”
“I have my own score to settle!” the man in black… Elder Qu said coldly.
At this moment, a large number of fire feathers were madly exploding around Lizi, each exploding with boundless scorching power—she felt like a popsicle exposed under the noonday sun, as if her body was about to melt!
Lizi gritted her teeth, but didn’t expect Elder Qu’s fire feathers to be so terrifying.
Suddenly—!
Boom—!!!
The mighty fire feather broke through Lizi’s wind and snow, the explosive enormous power instantly blasted Ren Ziling away from Lizi’s side… Lizi couldn’t hold on tight, and could only watch as Ren Ziling fell towards the cliff.
“Sister Ren—!”
Lizi screamed and, without hesitation, jumped towards the cliff, but at this moment above, Elder Qu gave a cold shout, and two fire whips shot out from his sleeves, directly coiling around Lizi’s body.
The scorching power of the flame immediately made Lizi utter a painful wail, and she was in such pain that she couldn’t stand up.
The man from the Management Bureau shook his head upon seeing this, “I’ve said do not be so heavy-handed… Go down and see if that woman is dead, as long as she’s not dead, bring her back, don’t waste her.”
Another man in black then directly jumped down into the cliff.
The man from the Management Bureau exhaled, lit a cigarette with a lighter, and walked up to Elder Qu.
At this moment, Elder Qu’s fire whip was already wrapped around Lizi, and the power of the flames continuously corroded her as a Snow Demon… The suffering Lizi didn’t utter a sound, only looking aimlessly towards the direction of the cliff.
However, the fire whip coiling around her gradually cooled down and froze, covered with frost that instantly spread down and reached Elder Qu’s hands.
Elder Qu was slightly stunned, and released his hands, the fire whip instantly fell to the ground, shattering into ice fragments.
“Finally, found a place where I can stay a little longer, why…”
Lizi gently struggled, and the already frozen fire whip on her body immediately shattered… Her hair had somehow already turned snow white.
Dispersed.
Her eyes also turned eerie and pale.
In an instant, heavy snow flew, and the wind and snow that swept up dispersed the surrounding thick fog, turning it into a pure white world… The cold air spread rapidly.
The man from the Management Bureau was shocked, unconsciously pulled the trigger, but the Talisman Bullet froze at the moment it came out of the chamber, directly falling from the air.
Before he could feel fear, his body had already turned into crystal ice.
Elder Qu was startled, at this moment his demonic power expanded crazily, but the Snow Demon before him looked at him, grinning hideously… like a demoness.
…
…
The cliff was not deep.
Thus, when the man in black jumped, it didn’t take long before he discovered the woman—only, to his astonishment, the speed of her fall seemed a bit too slow.
Like a light feather, just before she was about to hit the ground, gently floated and finally landed softly.
On the ground, lush green grass crazily sprouted, covering the floor, allowing this woman to lie fortably.
The man in black frowned secretly, and quickly walked up to the woman… But he sensed something was amiss, even strange.
An unnerving feeling made his breathing suddenly chaotic.
He hadn’t felt this kind of fear for who knows how many years—since he reached the pinnacle of his potential.
“This woman…”
Finally, he approached Ren Ziling, planning to take her away… He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anxiety in his heart.
At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly came from within the dense fog.
“I say, brother, I advise you to stop now…”
The man in black already felt it, swiftly turned around—at the very moment of turning, a breeze blew around, dispelling parts of the fog.
Seen was a young man with a long scarf, currently leaning against the bottom of the cliff.
The man in black squinted his eyes, his palm quietly reaching behind… The young man with the scarf raised an eyebrow and spoke again: “Brother, didn’t I tell you not to mess around, are you hyperactive?”
“Who are you?” the man in black asked in a low voice.
This young man’s presence was secretive, quietly approached his back without him noticing… If this man suddenly struck, he might not be able to withstand it.
However, this man seemed to be here for this woman… The man in black quickly calculated something in his mind, his hand hidden behind faintly glowed.
The young man suddenly sighed, “Brother, I have been very polite, please act properly. Can’t you see she has some kind of protective power on her… carelessly messing might mean no one can save you.”
“Is that so?” the man in black sneered lightly.
The young man sighed again, “Before she wakes up and notices anything, you better leave. Otherwise, if you provoke what shouldn’t be provoked, even I can’t imagine the consequences. Although my sudden appearance to make you go would understandably annoy you. I’d be annoyed too, like who is this guy acting cool? But, I have no choice, look into my sincere eyes, trust me just this once?”
“It seems really serious.” The man in black still sneered, “I really want to see how serious it is.”
He suddenly turned, reaching out to grab.
But in the fleeting moment, a silver light split open in front of him—from his head straight down.
His Bronze Mask suddenly split in two, revealing an old face… He moved his lips, and in this moment his body split into two halves, falling to both sides.
“I warned you not to move rashly, didn’t listen to my advice, was my gaze not sincere enough.”
The young man swung the ancient sword in his hand, blood quickly flicked off the sword edge, not a drop remained.
“How serious?” The young man looked at Ren Ziling, sleeping soundly on the grass cushion, muttering to himself: “Maybe… even using this world as a burial wouldn’t be enough?”
He couldn’t help falling into deep thought.
…
…
——”…But Da Zhe, can you do something for me… this was originally Room 18’s task, but she’s not available right now, is that okay.”
——”No problem.”
——”Help me take good care of Ms. Ren, she’s e here.”
——”It seems like the boss’s task… but she shouldn’t need protection, right? With the boss’s ability, who could possibly touch her?”
——”Precisely because of that, you need to go… to avoid making the master angry.”
——”Very… very scary?”
——”Da Zhe, do you think, with the strength of this world, it could withstand any fraction of the master’s anger? Even the master might not know…”
——”No… that can’t be, right?”
——”The previous one, even before arriving in this world, destroyed seven because of ‘bad mood’…”
