Player Zhang Hao was slightly startled, but quickly reacted. He chuckled inwardly: Damn it, who is this Zhao Ling'er? She's a cultivator! You, a Martial Warrior, want to contend with her. You're practically asking to be abused.
Although Zhao Ling'er's cultivation was only at the initial stage of Martial Grandmaster, it seemed weaker than Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice).
But you should know, cultivation doesn't represent combat power. Zhao Ling'er's attack methods are different from Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice)'s. After all, the power systems are different. It's like saying two people are the same, but one holds a kitchen knife and the other a pistol – can they be the same? Even if the one with the gun is a thirteen-year-old boy and the one with the knife is a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old adult.
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) was scared pale and immediately flew into the distance, wanting to escape. He knew he was definitely no match for this strange girl.
But he was fast, and Zhao Ling'er's speed was even faster.
"Samadhi True Fire!" Zhao Ling'er shouted softly.
A ball of flame ignited the void and quickly swept towards Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice).
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) was terrified.
"Splitting Light Grasping Hand!"
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) slapped out heavy claw shadows, trying to extinguish the balls of flame. But these flames were extremely strange; no matter how Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) attacked, they had no effect.
"Ow!"
The black Bald Eagle let out an extremely mournful shriek and was instantly burned into nothingness by the Samadhi True Fire.
"Xiao Xi!"
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) watched his Bald Eagle get killed just like that. His eyes were bloodshot, filled with extreme grief. One must know, this Bald Eagle had accompanied him for decades. He had long regarded it as his own child, and now that it was dead, how could Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) not be angry?
"Cold Ice Profound Palm!"
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) roared. Endless cold currents emanated from his body. The surrounding temperature instantly dropped by hundreds of degrees. The area within a hundred meters was Ice Sealing by this cold current.
Such terrifying power.
Player Zhang Hao felt a chill from the depths of his bones. With a shiver, he immediately retreated a hundred meters away and stood firm.
Player Zhang Hao looked solemn and muttered to himself, "As expected, a Martial Warrior at the intermediate stage of Martial Grandmaster is not someone I can currently contend with."
A giant palm shadow, carrying terrifying cold currents, swept towards Zhao Ling'er's location. Wherever it passed, the air in the void was Ice Sealing layer by layer.
Zhao Ling'er, however, looked calm and didn't dodge. She swung the Yue Nu Sword in her hand.
"Purgatory True Fire!"
Endless flames, as if from Hell, spread throughout the hundred-meter radius. The giant Ice Sealing palm was instantly melted under these terrifying flames.
The flames, under Zhao Ling'er's command, pressed towards Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice).
"No!" Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) was utterly desperate at this moment.
Under those terrifying flames, Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) couldn't dodge at all and was instantly reduced to ashes.
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao for killing 'Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice)', gaining 8,000,000 experience points, 800,000 True Qi, and 10 Frenzy Energy."
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao for obtaining Skill Pill +5."
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao for obtaining 100,000 points."
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao for obtaining one knowledge seeking stone!"
Finally took care of Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice)! Player Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master!"
Zhao Ling'er came before Player Zhang Hao, looking at him with a smile.
"Yes, Ling'er, you're amazing. Absolutely top-notch!" Player Zhang Hao didn't spare any praise for Zhao Ling'er!
Originally, Player Zhang Hao thought Zhao Ling'er shouldn't be a match for Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice), but unexpectedly, Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) wasn't even enough for Zhao Ling'er to abuse.
"Young Master, Ling'er has to go," Zhao Ling'er said shyly to Player Zhang Hao.
"Why? You've only been out for less than half an hour! It's still early! I still want to ask you a few questions!" Player Zhang Hao asked with a grin.
Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but ask Player Zhang Hao curiously, "What questions?"
Player Zhang Hao smiled gossiping, "For example, your Happy Brother, how are things developing between you two? Do you have any intimate relationship?"
Zhao Ling'er: "..."
Less than half an incense stick after Player Zhang Hao and Zhao Ling'er left, Wen Tailai also arrived at the scene. Looking at the scorched earth, he felt a little strange. He muttered, "Did Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) kill them or not?"
Hao Xian Sect's Registered Disciple area.
At this moment, Liu Jie and the others were burning with anxiety. From Player Zhang Hao's serious expression earlier, they could tell that Player Zhang Hao had definitely encountered a life-and-death enemy at that time. But they, as Player Zhang Hao's friends, couldn't help him at all and instead became a burden holding him back. This made these formerly arrogant prodigies feel somewhat dejected.
Song Sitian cried several times wanting to find Player Zhang Hao, but was held back by Mo Qing and Fu Qingchen.
"I don't know how Player Zhang Hao is now, I can't take it anymore, I have to go find him." Liu Jie couldn't hold back either, gritting his teeth, he was about to walk out.
Mo Qing quickly grabbed Liu Jie's sleeve and scolded him, "Don't be so impulsive, it hasn't been three hours yet, maybe if you wait a little longer, Player Zhang Hao will be back. I don't want Player Zhang Hao to come back and then have to go find you."
"But who knows how Player Zhang Hao is doing now. When he told us to leave, that expression, he definitely encountered a very powerful enemy," Liu Jie said to Mo Qing.
Shi Lei, at this moment, walked up to Liu Jie and said very calmly, "Liu Jie, don't worry, I think Player Zhang Hao will be fine."
Liu Jie looked at Shi Lei somewhat blankly and asked, "Shi Lei, why are you so sure?"
Shi Lei said expressionlessly, "Although I haven't known Player Zhang Hao for long, I understand him. At that time, he looked serious, but his eyes were very calm, that didn't look like despair, so I think Player Zhang Hao definitely has a trump card that we don't know about! We just have to wait here."
"Hahaha... Shi Lei understands me best." Player Zhang Hao's voice came from outside.
"Player Zhang Hao!" Liu Jie was overjoyed upon hearing the voice.
Everyone looked towards the sound and saw a figure walking in from outside, it was Player Zhang Hao.
"Young Master!"
Song Sitian was overjoyed to see Player Zhang Hao and rushed into his arms, crying.
"Player Zhang Hao, if you hadn't come back, I would have gone to find you." Liu Jie came up and said to Player Zhang Hao in surprise.
"Player Zhang Hao, who did you encounter? Why were you so eager for us to leave at that time?" Mo Qing looked at Player Zhang Hao and finally asked the question they most wanted to know.
Player Zhang Hao didn't hide anything and said, "I ran into Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) at that time. He held a grudge against me because I stole his beast king fruit. Of course, the mastermind behind all of this was Wen Tailai."
"What? Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice)?"
Liu Jie and the others were immediately shocked. This Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) was one of the most powerful experts in the Northern Region, an intermediate stage Martial Grandmaster. Although he was a rogue cultivator, he was ruthless and killed countless Martial Warriors. Even people from the Ten Great Sects were reluctant to provoke him.
