"Die," Mallus sent out an attack through his arms.
.
.
.
"DIE," he tried once more.
.
.
..
"What is happening?" he said in shock as he looked at his own hands. No matter how much he tried, His attacks weren't launching.
Ning was surprised and tried to feel his Qi as well. However, there was nothing. The feeling he got was the same as when he was just a normal person back on earth.
"What's…what's going on?" he couldn't understand either.
"What did you do you bastard?" Mallus tried to bring out a sword but not even his storage bags worked. Everything that required Qi to function, including divine sense didn't work anymore.
'Qi is not working for some reason, but that doesn't concern me,' Ning thought. He immediately jumped forth and landed right in front of Mallus.
Ning looked at him dead in the eyes and said, "Here I am. Come, kill me."
Mallus shook a little. It was hard to say whether that was because of the cold environment or his pure terror of Ning jump so far with just his body.
Either way, he couldn't stop the shaking.
"Yo— You, how do you still have your strength?" Mallus asked with a shaky voice.
"Hmm? Oh, you didn't know? I am a body cultivator too. My body is just that strong," Ning said with a smile. He then looked behind those two, at the massive crater that kept shooting out Qi and snow into the sky, making an aurora in the night sky.
"Why is there Qi there, and yet not here?" Ning asked out loud. "Senior Mallus, won't you go check that out for me?" he said.
"Why would I do anyt—" Ning suddenly grabbed him by the robes and threw him into the crater. The moment he entered, the Qi started cutting up his body. However, he also immediately set up a barrier to protect himself.
The burst of Qi reaching the sky once again threw him up and down onto the snow with a Thud.
Ning picked him up from the snow and looked at his more bloody face. "Can you use your Qi now?" he asked. Mallus seemed to be severely distraught and didn't answer at all.
"Sigh, I guess you will have to find out for me," Ning said and walked towards Gai.
"N— No, don't come towards me," he shouted. "Don't you dare come towards me."
Gai tried to escape, but he couldn't walk anymore. The cold was getting to him. He stumbled and fell back onto the snow. Ning went forward and grabbed him by the collars.
"Please, spare me," Gai tried to beg for mercy, but Ning didn't care about any of it. He simply tossed him into the crater.
The moment he entered, Gai immediately put up a barrier around him as well, however, similar to Ning's situation, the barrier wasn't able to protect him completely.
Multiple specs of Qi blasted through the barrier and started making multiple cuts on his face. However, unlike Ning, he couldn't heal as fast. He too was thrown back onto the snow, and he slowly started bleeding the snow red.
Mallus barely stood up and saw his disciple being treated like that. "You!" he shouted, but the cold was getting to him as well.
Ning walked up to Gai once more and took away his storage bags. "Better not waste this," he thought. "Oh, you're up," Ning said as he looked towards Mallus.
"Can you use your Qi now? No, right?" Ning asked.
"Put down my disciple," Mallus shouted.
"Hmm… Him? Nah," Ning said and tossed Gai behind him into the crater. This time, there was no barrier protecting him. So before his body could even be sent flying upward, it was shredded into millions of bloody pieces and the blood showered as frozen ice.
"Yikes, I didn't expect that to get so bloody," Ning said as he winced a little. He then walked towards Mallus. Mallus was getting scared now.
Ning once again took him by the collar and threw him into the crater. Mallus managed to save himself with a barrier, but it was slowly getting weak. His cultivation base was running dry.
In a few more turns, he could no longer have any Qi to use, and would thus die as well. Until that, Ning would keep throwing him in.
Again, and again, and again.
Each time he threw him in, Mallus's body would get a little more bloody due to the fraction of a second he didn't have his barrier up. With each time, the barrier started letting more and more Qi in.
Finally, he fainted. Ning realized that he could no longer survive like this, so he took away his storage bags and tossed his body into the crater.
Similar to Gai, he too turned into bloody mist within minutes that started raining down on the snow.
Ning stood there and looked at the crater. "Damn, what do I do now?" he thought. The crater did nothing but shoot everything up, and it felt very hard to survive in a place where the Qi shredded you to nothing in seconds.
"Damn, this is a problem," he thought. "In the first, why can't I use my Qi?"
He sighed once more. He turned around and finally looked away from the immediate scenery. Far away in the sky, he could see light coming from the sun as if it was about to come up at any moment.
"It was daytime just now, so does the sun not show up in the Northern Pole, or am I just on the wrong side?" he asked.
"Either way, I will need to get out of this place. Let's see… I should go to this place and I can take a carriage or something to see the path along the way to the Seven Lights city," Ning thought as he looked at the map of Planet Kumia.
"Alright system, Teleport here," Ning said.
<Host cannot teleport to that spot>
"Huh? What's wrong with this place?" Ning was confused. "Whatever, go to this place then," he said.
<Host cannot teleport to that spot>
"What the hell? What about this location then?" Ning asked.
<Host cannot teleport to that spot>
"What the F*ck is going on? Why can't I teleport there?" Ning asked in frustration.
<Host can only teleport away from the planet after collecting energy that amounts to 10% of the planet's energy>
"… huh?"
