Chapter 462: Go, Mother of Bloodbath
The middle-aged man in half armor made no attempt to mince his words or hide his displeasure.
“Jian Hanzhong, I only came to repay my debt. I have no intention of partaking in the matters of the Zheng family’s third lineage.”
Duan He turned his attention back to Lin Yuan and the rest.
Something serious must have happened. Otherwise, they would not have been pressed to dispatch Jian Hanzhong.
As a mere collateral branch of the main family, the third lineage of the Zheng family would never send out their only emperor-class expert under normal circumstances.
However, no matter how carefully Duan He scanned the group of young people standing in the near distance, he could not figure out in what way they would pose a large enough threat to warrant Jian Hanzhong stepping up.
Jian Hanzhong was right. Despite the Lava Dragon Lizard’s exceptional skills, it ultimately lacked strength.
The third lineage of the Zheng family had several king-class members.
A single king-class expert should be sufficient to handle this group of people.
Lin Yuan did not expect that Duan He was not actually part of the Zheng family.
He had only come to aid the man known as Jian Hanzhong, who had the aroma of cedarwood wafting around him. He was going to assist Jian Hanzhong’s contracted fey in undergoing its World Cleansing.
Lin Yuan asked Duan He upfront, “Senior Duan He, you are emperor-class yourself. If you really aren’t part of the Zheng family, I hope you won’t meddle in affairs which do not concern you.”
Duan He could not believe that the masked youth would call him out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuan He replayed the young man’s words in his mind. He was certain that he had sensed a veiled threat within the ostensibly polite statement.
Duan He furrowed his brow and asked, “So what if I choose to interfere?”
Lin Yuan regarded Duan He with a stony expression and punctuated each word as he replied, “Then you are making yourself an enemy of Sky City.”
At the mention of Sky City, the gears in Duan He’s head started to turn.
He realized that he had never heard of a faction called Sky City.
However, he had no interest in participating in such inter-faction fights. If he was, he would not have made his stance clear to Jian Hanzhong from the very beginning.
Jian Hanzhong heaved a sigh and began to circulate his spiritual power.
The spiritual power took the form of a cyclone, which materialized in front of Jian Hanzhong. The cyclone increased in magnitude as more spiritual power was released.
Suddenly, it turned into an enormous vortex of spiritual power, consuming all the free-flowing spiritual power of heaven and earth.
As Lin Yuan observed Jian Hanzhong, he found that he was an S-rank spirit qi professional.
S-rank spirit qi professionals demonstrated their battle prowess by exhibiting how their cyclone of spiritual power could swallow all the free-flowing spiritual power in the air, thereby allowing them to manipulate it at will.
This showed that S-rank spirit qi professionals had transcended beyond only utilizing the spiritual power inside of their bodies.
They possessed the power to harness the energy of the natural world.
At that moment, a 70-meter-tall fey covered with icy blue leaves descended upon the island. Its rough branches resembled ice sculptures that were carved with intricate designs.
Every light blue leaf was dotted with a single hanging frozen droplet.
As the lush blue leaves danced in the air, numerous branches swayed in tandem.
Yet, the main branch of this massive tree remained unusually straight.
Winter in Indigo Azure City did not reach frigid levels, and the temperature mostly stayed around the same level as that of late autumn in the Royal Capital.
However, the second that this 70-meter-tall, blue-leafed fey appeared, Lin Yuan noticed a coat of snow appearing on his white clothes.
Each breath he drew stung his lungs with needles of frost.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the 70-meter-tall, blue-leafed fey.
[Fey Name]: Ultimate Ice
[Fey Species]: Advanced
[Fey Grade]: Diamond (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Ice
[Fey Quality]: Fantasy V
Lin Yuan realized that this Fantasy V Ultimate Ice held comparable power to the Golden-Feathered Sea Eagle.
Both were almost Suzerains.
True Data did not reveal anything particularly special about Ultimate Ice. It possessed the average skills of any ice-type fey.
The only special skill it had was that it could condense the elemental skill of its opponents.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis skill would greatly affect feys that used their elemental skill for offense, greatly elevating the Ultimate Ice’s fighting ability.
But no matter how effective this skill was, it could only be used on feys of the same grade.
It would also affect feys of a slightly higher level, namely ones that just become Suzerain but had not undergone World Cleansing.
Feys like the Mother of Bloodbath, whose Willpower Rune had already morphed into a Law Rune, were already leagues above Ultimate Ice. Thus, the Ultimate Ice’s power was limited against the Mother of Bloodbath.
Jian Hanzhong looked at Lin Yuan before shooting a look at Listen.
“Hand over the item you found near the coastal sea. If I’m in a good mood, I might be willing to freeze your hearts instantly and give you a painless death.” Jian Hanzhong said in a low voice.
Zhou Luo was in the middle of controlling the Lava Dragon Lizard’s Maroon Fire Forehead Launcher ability. He blanketed the crowd with Lava Shield.
The Lava Shield helped Lin Yuan counter the extreme cold emanating from the Ultimate Ice.
Unfortunately, due to the sizable difference in ability between the Lava Dragon Lizard and Ultimate Ice, Lin Yuan could still feel the immense pressure from the Diamond/ Fantasy V fey.
Lin Yuan could feel the danger looming over him.
The feeling reminded him of the time Cheng Wu had hunted him in the wilderness outside the Royal Capital.
Lin Yuan could no longer be bothered to continue engaging Jian Hanzhong in discourse.
He originally planned to extract information regarding the Zheng family’s third lineage from Jian Hanzhong.
However, he gave up the notion.
Lin Yuan said softly, “Go, Mother of Bloodbath.”
Lin Yuan’s voice was barely a whisper. It was easily overpowered by the whipping gusts of the ocean breeze.
At that moment, a terrifyingly powerful pressure, stronger than that of Ultimate Ice, appeared.
The stench of malice and blood accompanied it.
At the same time that the pressure appeared, a crimson red streak shot out of Lin Yuan’s head and headed straight for the Ultimate Ice.
