Chapter 522: Icebound earth and firmament
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Bing Qing Tong and her sisters looked as if they were encountering their archenemy, looking at the general direction of the two arriving people, their faces stiff and solemn.
Being the head of the Ning family, Ning Du Quan had always oppressed the Ice Emperor City until now over the years. The Ice Emperor City and the Ning family were close to each other, and often competed on collecting cultivating materials. However, the Ning usually took the upper hand. Since Bing Qing Tong’s level was lower than Ning Du Quan’s, and the Ice Emperor City’s overall competence was far behind the Ning family, they didn’t dare to compete much with the Nings.
Obviously, Ning Du Quan came here this time without any good intent. This made Bing Qing Tong worry.
Ning Du Quan had the Seven-colored Poison Technique. After he had sent his voice all over the city, he and Yu Li Ming slowly landed on the City Master’s Palace.
Shi Yan frowned, but he wasn’t worried, just coldly looking at the master of the Ning family to see what the man would do to show his strength.
Right after Yu Li Ming landed, his snake-like eyes gazed at Shi Yan while grinning, "Kid, let see how long you can be that arrogant!"
"Oh, you haven’t died yet, have you?" Shi Yan smiled, ridiculed. "Well, last time you ran away like a stray dog. I really think you don’t know how to write the word "Death." Are you coming here this time to learn that word? Haha, it’s good though. Let see where you can run this time." action
Yu Li Ming’s face was dark and gloomy. He grinned fiendishly, and didn’t continue the conversation with Shi Yan. He turned to Ning Du Quan and said "Ning-ge, you’ve seen the kid now. Ning Qi Shan died in his hands. I think Ning Ze was also killed by this brat. Well, I assume Ning-ge wouldn’t let him live until tomorrow, eh?"
Ning Du Quan nodded indifferently. He turned to Bing Qing Tong and said, "City Master Bing, I’m here not to provoke the fight between the Fighting Union and the Heaven Temple. I came here for Shi Yan. As long as you’re not involved, I can assure that the Ice Emperor City and our Ning family won’t be enemies. What do you think?"
Bing Qing Tong’s visage was cold as she snorted, "Master Ning, until now, our Ice Emperor City and your Ning family were like river water and well water. We never interfered with each other’s business. You’ve assigned that old freak Yu to deal with our Ice Emperor City, which has violated our relationship already. Today, you want to raise trouble in the Ice Emperor City. Tell me, isn’t it a war declaration?"
"Yu Li Ming’s business and our Ning family aren’t related." Ning Du Quan frowned. "Master Bing, you mean that you want to protect that kid?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"True," nodded Bing Qing Tong.
"Master Bing, my advice is that you shouldn’t poke your nose in it. Your Ice Emperor City’s rated lowest among the seven cities of the Fighting Union. Throughout years, our Ning family hasn’t troubled your Ice Emperor City, because we think that you’re just a bunch of women. We give you face, but you seem like you don’t need it." Ning Du Quan’s eyes and his sinister face showed that the man was losing his patience.
"Give us face?" Bing Qing Tong sneered, shaking her head. "I have never seen face here. Where is it? In these recent years, many rare cultivating materials in the big rivers or grand mountains around us were all collected by your Ning family. Whenever we had business with other warriors, you always interfered, sending them out of the place. Do you call it ‘giving us face’?"
"At least, I don’t allow my members to kill them." Ning Du Quan squinted. Cold light bloomed, as he was about to use up his patience.
"Not killing them means you have regards for us?" Bing Qing Tong’s countenanced chilled. "So, you are swaggering in my City, and I ask you to leave now, is that not giving you face, the Headmaster of the Nings?"
"Ning-ge, why do you need to be wordy with this woman?" Yu Li Ming’s fingers hiding in his sleeves spurted out poisonous smoke. An aura that made people dizzy slowly diffused from his body. He had taken action without anyone noticing him.
"You want to protect this kid?" Ning Du Quan’s face was cold. "Give me a reason."
Bing Qing Tong stared at him blankly, then burst out laughing. Her beautiful eyes lingered on Shi Yan as she spoke shyly, "He’s the man we’ve chosen. Of course, we want to be together with him. Isn’t it a good reason?"
"Your man? You all?" Ning Du Quan was surprised. His dark pupils raked through Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing, and then confirmed again, "All of you?"
Under his scrutinizing look, Shuang Yu Zhu and Leng Dan Qing nodded slowly.
Han Cui hesitated, but eventually gave a slight nod with a blushed face. Her countenance was strange too.
"B*tches!"
Flame burning inside Yu Li Ming just like someone had slapped him in the face. He said through gritted teeth, "Seems like the Vanish Mind Smoke this old man released had benefited that brat. You four sl*ts, I’ll let you beg to be killed rather than live! Listen! Today, Yu Li Ming will make you regret that you were born into this world."
"Old dog Yu, are you saying that you would make my women want to die rather than live?" Shi Yan grinned with his cold face. "With only you? A loser that only knows how to use smoke? You couldn’t leave even a scratch on my puppet, but now you dare to spout such delirious utterances?"
Hearing him, Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing blushed as they felt sweet and excited inside.
Finally, Shi Yan acknowledged their status in front of other people. The women felt something sweet in their hearts.
"Kid, besides the external forces you borrowed, what else do you have?" Yu Li Ming thundered, but he didn’t dare to take action first. He threw a murderous look at Shi Yan as his heart filled with rage. He clenched his jaw and shouted, "You can be complacent for now, kid. Let see how long you can maintain that status. I will make you watch me f*ck those four b*tches!"
"City Master Bing, I ask you once again: Do you still want to protect this kid?" Ning Du Quan took a deep breath and asked straightforwardly, as he didn’t want to waste more time.
"I said it before. He’s our man. We won’t just stand and stare," Bing Qing Tong affirmed.
Shuang Yu Zhu, Leng Dan Qing, and Han Cui nodded.
"Good, you’re seeking for death. Don’t blame me for being merciless." Ning Du Quan faced up the sky and roared. His scream tore the wind and pierced through the blue sky. Seven-colored light of the rainbow radiated from him, just like a long meteor sweeping through the sky over the City Master’s Palace.
The rainbow-like light oozed out, bringing with it the extremely poisonous and violent, shaking energy. Each beam of the seven-colored light bombarded on the ice rock of the palace, pierced through the wall and soared away. The ice wall couldn’t resist the piercing light at all.
Rumble Rumble Rumble!
Ice buildings collapsed under the seven-colored attacking light, as thick ice blocks caved in. The City Master’s Palace became a big mess. Loud, deafening explosion echoed everywhere.
"You dare destroy my palace? You’re my archenemy now!" Bing Qing Tong’s face chilled. All of a sudden, she muttered. "Icebound Earth and Firmament!"
When Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing heard her, their faces got excited as they urged their Ice Jade Technique. People then saw an extreme icy cold, shaking energy soar up from the four women. This formidable energy meandered around the Palace like a long snake.
The walls surrounding the City Master Palace hid cold energy, which was all released at this moment. The temperature plunged down rapidly to an extreme degree. Also, the collapsed walls became more rigid under the cold air. Many shaking buildings that were about to collapse now seemed to have the energy to support their structures, standing firm like a stone again.
Gusts of extremely cold air shot out from the four women, running chaotically inside the Palace. The whole place started to freeze with thick ice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnder this kind of cold Qi, even the air seemed to stagnate. Snow appeared, fluttering around, while sharp ice beams started to form.
Not long after that, numerous ice blocks gathered, forming a giant rock hovering above the Palace, blocking the whole place.
Crack crack crack!
Sounds of freezing reverberated from all corners of the City Master Palace. Every bit of properties, each piece of grass, flower or even rock inside the Palace was frozen. Massive ice rocks started to fly up to the sky under the effect of some kind of power. They turned into sharp weapons, maliciously darting towards Ning Du Quan.
The freezing energy expanded even more, and within several seconds, the whole palace became a sealed, giant ice crystal.
Looking at it from outside, the City Master Palace had disappeared, turning into a grand ice mountain. Extremely cold Qi expanded from it, raising people’s goosebumps and even making people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
The Icebound Earth and Firmament was a secret technique that needed four Spirit Realm warriors to join hands and perform it. However, it needed an ice-cold place to be cast out successfully.
Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, and Leng Dan Qing didn’t get along well. They often competed fiercely, so they had never joined hands to perform the Ice Jade Technique. That’s why people had never seen this marvelous Icebound Earth and Firmament technique.
Today, since everything was related to Shi Yan, the four women of the Ice Emperor City had united to show off the Icebound Earth and Firmament. It covered the entire Palace instantly, freezing it. Under the coverage of so many beams of the icy energy, the temperature dropped down rapidly.
The cold Qi on their bodies became heavier, as their faces got colder with time. Cold energy exuded from their bodies and accelerated to the acme, which frightened people.
"I didn’t expect that you have such a secret technique. No wonder why you weren’t afraid." Ning Du Quan changed his face. "Seems this Icebound Earth and Firmament Technique is the most dangerous strike you have. No wonder why so many people have had dark thoughts towards your city but none of them succeeded. Turns out you have the Icebound Earth and Firmament."
"Master Ning, we don’t want to be on the opposite side to you. If you leave now, we won’t bear any grudges." Bing Qing Tong’s face became stiff and solemn. "The Fighting Union and the Heaven Temple have nothing related to this. We don’t want this to accelerate to a war between the two. If you leave now, we’ll consider nothing had happened."
"Wow, City Master Bing’s kind, indeed." Ning Du Quan cracked a cold smile. "What a pity that I’m the kind of person who will take revenge for the slightest grievance. This time I come here, I won’t go back without the head of that brat. And I won’t stop until I get it."
"Master Ning has such confidence?" Bing Qing Tong felt something wrong here.
"Although your Icebound Earth and Firmament joint technique is intimidating, you’ve been poisoned. Let see how long you guys can endure." Ning Du Quan was arrogant. "When my Seven-colored Poisonous Technique’s cast out, its toxin can poison any creatures in the surrounding hundred li. Your Icebound Earth and Firmament has blocked the entire palace, which makes all the poison gather inside the place. I’m afraid you guys would be affected more severely."
The four of Bing Qing Tong’s group discolored.
