Bernard’s gaze quickly fell on the key. His eyes showed great eagerness.
“Something great should be in the hands of a worthy person,” he said, looking at Ciel’s face again.
“You can scare others with your background, but it won’t work for me. If you don’t want any conflict, hand over the key now.”
What he said was quite shocking to the people watching. They didn’t expect him to be that bold, directly threatening Ciel.
Mei Mei who had previously run into a corner became angry.
“Who do you think you are? If you want to fight, we will definitely accompany you,” she shouted, kicking a table that flew straight towards Bernard.
Before the table hit the man, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, turning the table into ashes in an instant.
Bernard stared at Mei Mei, showing a bloodthirsty gaze. It scared Mei Mei enough that she had to take a step back.
ROAR!
However, Mei Mei’s bear that was outside couldn’t stay still. It roared towards Bernard, seemingly challenging him to a fight. 𝑂𝑣𝓵xt.𝑪𝐎𝑚
Unfortunately, a monkey suddenly appeared in front of the bear.
The monkey was only human-sized, carrying a long stick. It stood on its stick which it stuck in the ground, staring at the bear as if challenging it.
Two beasts that cannot speak naturally rarely stop when they already have intentions.
In an instant, they charged at each other, shaking the streets as they slowly moved away from the restaurant.
Their strength apparently frightened many Hegemons so that none dared to approach.
“You seem to be fully prepared,” Ciel said to Bernard.
He wouldn’t be surprised if the man was also escorted by a Demigod.
Whoosh!
A black spear appeared in his hand, surrounded by purple-colored lightning bolts. They were ferocious and overbearing, letting out a continuous roar.
He also removed his cloak, tossing it aside. Apparently, he was wearing a battle suit made of thin armor, but it was clearly stronger than the average armor.
“Let’s begin,” he said.
It seemed that he didn’t want to delay this either.
Hearing his words, all the Ice Palace disciples immediately stood up, taking out their swords and spears.
At this moment, Mu Yixue stepped forward, looking at Bernard while the latter also looked at her.
“Miss Mu, I heard that you have such an amazing ice talent that the Ice Goddess took you as her disciple. You are a worthy opponent to hone my lightning power,” he said to Mu Yixue.
In response, Mu Yixue suddenly pointed her hand at the two men by Bernard’s side.
“Come forward, you three, it’s enough for me to fight you,” she said in a cold and confident tone.
The people who heard her words could not help but be amazed, thinking that the disciple of the Ice Goddess did indeed possess courage above the rest.
Invited to fight as well, Parker and Owen looked at each other.
The latter then laughed, creating waves around him.
“Miss Mu, perhaps the two of us are enough to fight you, there is no need to add Brother Bernard, or you will be doomed,” he said.
It seemed that he was the type who often thought that he was strong enough to challenge anyone. Then, he assumed that Bernard was already invincible.
Mu Yixue smiled coldly. She did not reply with words, but took a step forward.
Whoosh!
She moved through the air, not fast actually, but her arrival was like the calm before the storm.
“Hmph!” Bernard snorted coldly, lunging straight at her.
He was the type who didn’t like being attacked early, he would naturally go straight for the kill.
Since their cultivation levels were equivalent, so people were watching the fight seriously, wanting to see who was stronger between the Ice Goddess disciple and the crown prince of the Heavenly Lightning Kingdom.
The latter was actually more popular because he often came to various places to fight. Hence, people often looked at him as an impassable wall.
It was different with Mu Yixue. No one had ever seen her fight, it was only said that she was a disciple of the Ice Goddess.
People looked up to her more because of the Goddess’ reputation. As for her strength, they weren’t really sure, was she as strong as Bernard who fought often?
Bernard with his speed immediately arrived in front of Mu Yixue and he directly thrust his spear into the woman’s body.
Bolts of lightning gathered at the tip of the spear, sharpening it to its sharpest point.
“I heard that the Ice Palace is most superior in defense, considering that you learned many of the Ice Goddess’ techniques, I want to see if you are able to stop my spear,” said Bernard.
Mu Yixue smiled coldly when she heard his words. She casually moved her finger, it produced a pool of cold energy which then formed an ice shield.
At first glance, it seemed thin, but it gave the impression of being completely impenetrable.
BANG!
Bernard’s spear slammed into the shield, producing a loud bang.
And it caused countless eyes to open wide, including those powerful beings watching from afar.
Not to mention damaging the shield, the spear failed to even scratch it.
More than that, Bernard staggered backwards due to the shockwave generated by the collision while Mu Yixue continued to move forward.
“How is that possible?” said the young people, unable to believe the result.
Mu Yixue had only parried with an ice shield that seemed simple, but it easily broke Bernard’s attack that seemed so terrifying.
Ciel himself was shocked at the sight.
He wondered if Mu Yixue was indeed that strong that the son of a God with a huge battle reputation could look weak.
Bernard also looked incredulous, he hurriedly stabilized his body as Mu Yixue arrived in front of him.
The woman took out an ice spear then swung it towards Bernard.
The latter naturally responded in the same way.
BANG!
Their spears collided, producing vibrations over a wide area.
The result was even more shocking. Bernard was thrown quickly, hitting the wall of another building.
“You?” Parker and Owen opened their mouths, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Usually, even when Bernard lowered his cultivation by one stage, he easily suppressed them. However, in front of Mu Yixue, Bernard even looked helpless.
What difference was this?
