"Hm?!"
The Frost Syndicate Divine Rulers instantly awoke to attention. Painful, freezing chills pierced deep into their bones. The essence of Ice Laws continually drilled through their bodies.
Their thoughts slowed down and the circulation of their energies slowed down. Under this icy mist, their entire beings were getting turned into ice statues!
These Ice Laws were absolutely horrifying. Just a strand can turn enormous cities into a frozen wonderland.
The Frost Syndicate Divine Rulers were in hell. They finally experienced a sensation very rare for them to ever feel. Both nearly forgot about it entirely.
That is the fearful sensation of rapidly approaching death!
In a hurried panic, the Frost Syndicate Divine Rulers surge every ounce of their powers. Sounds of sizzling steam emitted out of their bodies. They were beginning to burn their blood essence and soul's core!
Ferocious glints gleamed out of the Divine Rulers' eyes. Blinding silvery lights streaked from them. Every flash of silvery light carried a deathly sharp presence.
One look could lacerate anyone foolish enough to gaze upon it. These were ultimately breaking sword lights!
The power of Sword Laws rapidly condensed to their very limits. Space began to slowly crack apart. Such power could barely be contained by the surrounding laws.
"This-this power! That's their Dao Origins!"
The spectators all cried out in horror. Even in the Law runes protection, the suppression of Laws was far too great. Even the middle Divine Rulers felt weak in their knees, much less the weaker cultivators who crashed to the ground.
The rising power was immaculate. It could disdain on everyone in the information center.
However, a sudden change overturns the entire world. Faster than even a fraction of a second, two icy sword lights tore through space!
Screeches were heard as the icy sword lights flew at immortal speeds. This was speed that even ordinary late Divine Rulers would barely be able to react to.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Frost Syndicate Divine Rulers were currently slower by 50% under the mystical, icy blue mist. They were even slower than some peak middle Divine Rulers at this point.
Though their rising powers were immense. It absolutely could not match the speeds of the icy sword lights!
'Chi!'
Horrid sounds of flesh being torn open. Bones cracked to pieces. Blood wildly sprayed onto the wall and ground.
The icy sword light smashed the Frost Syndicate Divine Rulers' heads into a gory meat paste!
Neither of them had even known just how they died. Such speed was too horrifying for them to ever comprehend.
The brutal sounds of death made the spectators feel suffocated. A second passed and the icy blue mist cleared away.
What was revealed to the world left every single person shivering.
Two high and mighty late Divine Rulers' corpses laid slumped against the wall. Their headless corpses continually gushed blood from the stumps on their necks.
"This..."
The spectators were all shocked in awe and horror. Some even felt nauseated at the brutal death of two late stage Divine Rulers!
Existences who always stand at the highest point anywhere they go. They now lay headless in the pool of their own blood.
The only ones calm from this whole ordeal were Cain and Lan Rui.
Beads of small sweat flowed down Lan Rui's face. Slight tiredness affected her mind and body. But she was overall fine.
While Cain was genuinely impressed by the display of power. He transmitted, 'Your Laws have grown more than I could expect. Was this always the art you use?'
Cain had really only seen Lan Rui fight once during the Ancient Ice Withered World. But the Lan Rui of then is completely different from the Lan Rui of now.
Lan Rui quickly said back, 'These are actually new arts that my master allowed me to use now. But, let's discuss more once we're out of this town.'
She didn't fear this Frost Syndicate. Nor did Cain worry about retaliation. Yet, they didn't grow too confident. There could very well be traps, formations, or items beyond their expectations.
Cain took the lead as he and Lan Rui began to swiftly leave the information center.
Their footsteps jolted everyone else awake. The Divine Star warrior behind the counter looked at the duo's back with a dark expression.
He tentatively spoke up. "You-you two have committed a grave mistake. You must not be fully aware of the Frost Syndicate's prowess. Even as you are a talented Divine Ruler, it'll mean nothing in the end!"
His words stirred the other spectators. They were certainly frightened by Lan Rui. But at the same time, they all can't believe that having the prowess of late Divine Ruler is anywhere enough to face the Frost Syndicate.
"They're too rash...they should've looked at the bigger piciture..."
"These talents will only got to waste..."
Whispers whirled around.
Cain and Lan Rui certainly heard the advice. They also heard the whispers. Yet nothing could stop the duo from walking out of the information center.
Since they already offended the Frost Syndicate, neither of them cared about paying for the book. They walked out of the information center with their heads held high.
...
As Cain and Lan Rui flew out of the Frost Syndicate town, at this time, miles within, a sudden meeting was occurring in an expansive manor.
Inside a royal room, a peak Divine Ruler stayed kneeling in front of a terrifying master of cultivation.
This person radiated the horrifying touch of death. Every movement of his can dictate the life or death of anyone else. His powerful Laws could suppress all other cultivators by just its faint presence. Even half-step Holy King would suffocate and choke.
This terrifying person wore a more luxurious version of the Frost Syndicate silver armor. More luminous Law runes symbol was decorated across his entire armor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis silver armor man was a genuine Holy King master!
The Holy King master sat back with a confident disposition. No trace of worry was on his face. He acted as if this whole situation was decided before it even began.
His tone even sounded a bit joking as he said, "So, is this all you can find out about this so-called terrifying Divine Ruler expert?"
The kneeling Divine Ruler warily nodded. "Whoever this is does indeed have talent. At the very least, not a single one of our Divine Rulers can absolutely suppress two ordinary people at a higher minor boundary stage. And even go so far as to kill them. What should we do now, Master Cao? Those two are trampling upon the prestige of us Frost Syndicate!"
As Master Kong opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly recalled a critical note. "Didn't you say there was a Divine Star expert with that little girl? And he wasn't affected at all by the energy shockwaves?"
The Divine Ruler paused. This seemed like a minor thing to take note of. But the power of shockwaves can wipe out thousands upon thousands of weaker cultivators!
Shockwaves contained the power of Laws and other essence energies from cultivation arts. The power of a Divine Ruler shockwave collision is absolutely something no Divine Star expert should be able to survive.
The Divine Ruler slowly said, "That's right, Master Cao. Nobody really paid attention to that boy. But he was able to stay completely calm under Divine Ruler's might. And, he led the way as if was in charge."
"I see...and you say that these two wanted to know more about the Frost Islands?"
"Indeed. He took that book without even paying for it." The Divine Ruler nodded with slight frustration.
He honestly couldn't remember the last time someone dared to act so audaciously in their town. Two arrogant youths were nowhere near enough to cause any stir.
A squad of peak Divine Rulers and half-step Holy Kings would be more than enough to take them down! At least, that what's the kneeling Divine Ruler believed.
However, Master Cao's eyes gained a mysterious glint. His lips began to curl. A smile, one filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent, spread across his face. "That little girl is certainly powerful. But I am more interested in that kid. He wasn't affected at all and didn't need the little girl's help to survive the shockwaves of powerful late Divine Rulers. Perhaps he has some true talent. Or perhaps he's using talismans and artifacts. Either way, I will bring the full force of a dragon to pluck out this feeble rat."
"Ah?" The Divine Ruler was a bit startled. "Is that really necessary, Master Cao?"
A slow chuckle escaped Master Cao's lips. "Heh. My big brother would be the one to rarely act, as he can disdain nearly everyone he comes in contact with. But not me! I look for opportunities anywhere I can. Even in the most feeble of places. Don't worry, these two brats will make more than fine editions to our forces."
The Divine Ruler couldn't suppress a shiver.
A Holy King master was truly taking action!
There wasn't any suspense anymore. This whole issue is practically done at this point.
Master Cao as well exuded the same overbearing confidence. He was even taking into consideration of what-if possibilities.
But no amount of faint possibilities could sway his mind.
