Meng Hongfei slashes with his blade, instantly shattering the ice spike nearly in his face.
He looks ahead with a grim face, where a slender, white-veiled woman stands gracefully.
Two men in black stand by her.
The sight of the adversaries makes Meng Hongfei’s bitterness hard to conceal. In his heart, he thinks, “The people chasing me haven’t caught up yet, but this old witch has blocked my way first. How unlucky can 1 be?”
It was this group that hunted him earlier. Fortunately, he broke through at a critical moment, greatly enhancing his strength, and finally got rid of them. And now, they have found him again. It’s truly infuriating.
“What a loyal and righteous little thief you are. It’s a pity to kill you.”
Under the woman’s white veil, cherry-colored lips open slightly. Her voice is light and her tone leisurely. Given her graceful body, she would undoubtedly be considered a beauty if the face under her veil wasn’t too ugly.
Unfortunately, the more beautiful they are, the more venomous they tend to be.
Boom!
With a pat, a cold wind swept across, and snowflakes fluttered down within a few dozen feet. The ice spikes, solidified into arrows, killed their way forward. The walls of the alley on both sides, upon being hit by these ice spikes, instantly turn into solid ice before quickly shattering.
Facing the assault of a warrior at the Origin Fluid Realm, Meng Hongfei dare not take it lightly. He has to put Qin Yun down.
“Lie down for a moment.”
With a wave of his sleeve, his True Origin erupts. Centered around the pair, a True Origin shield is constructed.
The ice spikes fall with a bang, looking like they’re causing ripples on a lake.
The Veiled Woman floats like a leaf, and her jade-white hand swings. A big hand made of ice crystals forms from the air and descends, making a move for Qin Yun and Meng Hongfei.
“Hmph, your heart is as generous as ever.”
Meng Hongfei’s expression turns icy. His Dantian’s True Origin oscillates, emitting an aura as wild and raging as the sea. He slashes with his sword, and it’s as if the void is being split in half. He attacks the giant ice hand of the woman resoundingly.
“Kill!”
The two black-clad men who arrived with the woman attack from the left and the right!
Meng Hongfei glances their way, and punches out into the air with his left hand!
Boom!
The void trembles
With just a random hit, one of the black-clad men is blasted away, his flesh and blood nearly collapsing, and his life or death unknown.
Meng Hongfei stomps his right foot on the ground. Stone slabs fly out and fall heavily on the other black-clad man.
At the peak of the Transforming Origin Realm, killing these black-clad men at the early and middle stages of the Transforming Origin Realm hardly requires any effort.
However, this doesn’t improve his current predicament.
Both the woman presently fighting him and the black-clad man at the Origin Fluid Realm who is chasing him from behind are no weaker than him.
If he gets caught in a pincer attack from the two, he’ll likely face certain death! As expected, his rotten luck is at its extreme. What he fears most has come to pass.
“Damn brat, die for me!”
As Meng Hongfei trades blows with the veiled woman, two blood-red attacks come at him from behind.
Feeling the immense danger behind him, Meng Hongfei forcibly repels the Veiled Woman with a swing of his sword. Immediately his figure flickers, narrowly evading death. The two blood-red attacks end up striking the houses behind him.
With a loud rumble, several houses collapse.
In his haste to dodge the attacks, Meng Hongfei’s face turned red. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the black-clad man and the Veiled Woman simultaneously launched their attack.
With a determination in his eyes, Meng Hongfei charges towards the Veiled Woman.
Under these circumstances, the only chance of survival is to stake his own life.
Among the two, the Veiled Woman is slightly weaker. This is his only way out. Faced with a frenzied Meng Hongfei, the Veiled Woman chooses not to directly fight. After briefly clashing, she retreats a small distance.
“I’ll keep him distracted, you do the damage!” The Veiled Woman tells the black-clad man.
“Hmph, don’t talk to me in such a tone.”
The black-clad man coldly snorts, swinging his blood-red mace, which is mixed with tremendous power, and attacks Meng Hongfei.
Meng Hongfei, in a hurry, lifts the Blue Black Treasure Saber to block, only to be shot back several feet.
When the ice spikes come from behind, he hurriedly uses his Protection True Origin.
The sound of cracking resonates as his Protection True Origin shatters, and extreme cold penetrates from his left arm.
Even a Heavenly Pride who can face those higher than his level, can still struggle when facing two Origin Fluid Realm Martial Artists at the same time. Meng Hongfei quickly falls at a disadvantage and is injured.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yun, on the ground unable to move, couldn’t help but chuckle bitterlly.
“I told you not to get involved, but you didn’t listen. Now you’re completely stuck!”
“We’re not backed into a corner yet, avoid speaking such disheartened words.” Meng Hongfei’s voice was cold as ice, his grip tightening on his long saber. Even though his True Origin was dwindling, he did not show any signs of fear. “Just a peak of the Transforming Origin Realm, yet able to withstand us – two Martial Artists of the Origin Fluid Realm – for so long. Such talent and strength would be wasted in death. If you agree to join our holy religion, we can spare your life!”
The veiled woman was attempting to coax him from behind her veil, yet her hands did not cease their movements. Palms turning, pillars of ice shot up from the ground, blocking Meng Hongfei’s retreat.
The man in black unabashedly swung his double maces, relentlessly crashing onto Meng Hongfei’s saber.
Bang-bang-bang!
The heavy double maces slammed down and Meng Hongfei was sent flying once again.
At the same time, the unexpected frost started to freeze him entirely, with bone-chilling cold attacking his whole body.
“Ha-ha, brat, you’ve run out of strength to hide, haven’t you?”
The man in black, wielding his double maces, approached step by step, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
Even if Meng Hongfei had been turned into an ice sculpture, he remained cautious, slowly closing in.
“Hurry, 1 can’t hold him much longer!” the veiled woman shouted impatiently.
Upon hearing her words, the man in black suddenly picked up his pace. As he closed the distance within just ten feet, the blood light on his double maces shone to its limit, piercing through the night sky, he viciously chopped them down onto the frost sculpture.
Bam—
The instant the double maces fell, the ice shattered and a pitch-black long saber emerged, blocking them.
Following this, a purple light flickered, a long sword pierced through, a “punctured” sound was heard, it had penetrated through the chest and reached the back torso.
Powerful sword Qi began to surge along the blade.
In an instant.
Meng Hongfei held the sword and the saber, and flew backward.
However, before he could steadying his posture, a surge of frost had already spread once more.
His feet were restrained. The extreme cold, solid frost, climbed up from his feet, quickly spreading up his body.
This time, he had entirely run out of trump cards.
Watching Meng Hongfei slowly transform into ice, the man in black cried out with his dying breath, a glare of intense hatred flickered in his eyes.
However, that hatred was not only directed at Meng Hongfei but also the veiled woman.
He hated that Meng Hongfei managed to break out of his icy prison at the last moment.
He hated that Meng Hongfei was skilled in both the sword and saber.
Looking at the man in black, drawing his last breath, a tinge of complexity flashed in the veiled woman’s eyes.
Despite her intense rivalry with the man, she indeed did not go easy on him during the fight, and it wasn’t her doing that Meng Hongfei was able to break free.
“Ah, only to blame your overconfidence.”
The veiled woman sighed lightly, her figure floated down, her bare hand aimed for Meng Hongfei’s forehead.
She could confirm that her opponent was indeed incapable of resisting at this moment.
“Initially 1 indeed had the thought of enrolling you into the holy religion, but since you killed him, even if you were to join the holy religion, you’re destined to die!”
As her hand was about to land on Meng Hongfei’s forehead, there was a sudden burst of fierce light that wiped away all the frost spread around him, as if it had met its ultimate nemesis.
Right after that.
The veiled woman’s expression drastically changed, her figure quickly retreated.
“What is this—”
“Is it a rescue?”
Qin Yun forced himself to lift his head, seeing a person approaching through the air with an overwhelming golden light emitting from their body, driving back the surrounding darkness.
“Damn, this guy’s entrance is a bit extravagant. I should try it next time!”
Unprovoked, this thought popped into his mind.
However, he soon recognized the person in the golden light; his face looks somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
He stared attentively. The face of the newcomer was instantly clear in his sight. “It’s him?!”
