Chapter 58: Are Desert Thieves Afraid of Freezing?

  （0058）

  Li Yuzhi's face was solemn, and he patted Xia Xingxiao's shoulder with his hand, saying slowly: "Xia Xingxiao, don't be sad. War always results in death. As a soldier, one must always be prepared to sacrifice. If we didn't make sacrifices, how could the people of Bai Yue Xing live in peace? Your family lives on Bai Yue Xing too, right?"

  Xia Xingxiao said: "Nothing, I just feel a bit stuffy."

  Li Yuzi said solemnly: "Think about your loved ones. Are you willing to let them die, or are you willing to die yourself?"

  Xia Xingxiao pressed her lips tightly together and remained silent for a long time.

  Li Yuzhi's words didn't make much sense, but they still touched him deeply.

  Because he thought of his father, Xia Qianfeng. He didn't know who his biological mother was or where she was, and why she left them. His father was the only relative he had in this world. He and his father relied on each other for survival, and the bond between them was something that outsiders couldn't understand. If he had to choose one of them to die, he would unhesitatingly choose himself.

  Paralyzed, all of you are damned Sand Thieves! What's the point of constantly fighting? What's the point of constantly invading White Crane Planet? In an instant, Xia Xing Xiao's mind was filled with anger towards the Sand Thieves, and his murderous intent became extremely fervent.

  "Another lifeboat is coming down! Let's go!" Li Yuzi suddenly said in a low voice.

  Xia Xingxiao almost didn't make any movement, but he had already rushed out. Maybe even he himself didn't know why he suddenly became so proactive. This was completely opposite to his original idea of being forced to join the army. Perhaps it was his subconscious feeling that his father's life might be in danger, and therefore he must work hard?

  This newly fallen lifeboat is a bit of trouble. On the surface of the lifeboat, three sand thieves are actually attached. They even tried to open the lifeboat and kill the people inside. Fortunately, the lifeboat can only be opened from the inside, and they have no way to do it for the time being.

  "Rumble!"

  The lifeboat crashed on the surface of Planet Aylee, splashing up a large amount of sand and gravel.

  The three sand thieves above were also shaken down. Their bodies kept rolling on the surface of the rocks. However, their reaction speed was very fast, and they all stood up within less than twenty meters away, continuing to encircle the lifeboat cabin.

  The movements of the sand thieves were not slow. However, there was someone whose speed was even faster than theirs. This person was Xia Xingxiao. Without hesitation, Xia Xingxiao's fist flew from a distance and struck the back of the sand thief with four times the force. He didn't know what the sand thief's combat strength was like, but he went all out in his first move.

  "Boom!"

  One of the sand thieves was beaten to pieces on the spot by him.

  The combat strength of this sand thief is actually only at the level of a third-level cultivator. His only advantage is that he has already turned to sand, and his physical defense is relatively strong. As for other aspects, it can only be said that they are ordinary. Under Xia Xingxiao's four-fold forceful strike, he was caught off guard and could only be beaten to death on the spot.

  "Humans! Cultivators! Kill him!"

  The other two sand thieves, without any hesitation, pounced on Xia Xingxiao.

  They are all synthetic humans. The characteristics of synthetic humans are that their conditioned reflexes are extremely fast, and many actions do not need to go through the brain. Especially combat actions, which are almost completed subconsciously. In an instant, two fists appeared in front of Xia Xingxiao.

  "Ah!"

  Xia Xingxiao raised his hand and threw another punch, which collided heavily with a sand thief's fist.

  As a result, the sand thief only shook in mid-air and did not fly away. On the contrary, Xia Xingxiao himself was hit by another sand thief and flew backward. His defensive system was indeed abnormal, but when faced with an extremely powerful attack, he was also powerless.

  After the sand thief's sandification, in addition to the increase in physical defense, the increase in strength is also more obvious. Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, sandification can increase strength by about 30%. Occasionally, it can even gain an increase of around 40%. Therefore, although it is clear that becoming a sandified person has many disadvantages, there are still people who fly to the fire and fall willingly.

  Of course, Xia Xingxiao only retreated slightly and didn't receive any injuries. He took a slight breath in, his true energy reversed, and sprayed out from his back, stopping his retreat. His body immediately pounced forward. The physical strength of these sand thieves was indeed abnormal. Four times the force couldn't even kill them. Unfortunately, his current maximum combat strength was only four times the force.

  The fourth punch of the Great Power Fist, "Eight Thousand Luo", can exert eight times the force, giving the enemy an extremely shocking blow. At his current level of cultivation, one punch is equivalent to 8,000 kilograms of force. Such a force is enough to shatter even tempered steel. However, this punch belongs to the second layer of the Great Power Fist and can only be learned after accumulating sufficient merit points. But he doesn't have a single merit point yet.

  Besides, even if there were any merits, they would be useless. Because his Great Power Fist's first layer is only in a minor completion state, and after that, there are still three more states to cultivate: major completion, small perfection, and great perfection. It's estimated that he won't be able to learn the 8,000 Luo in a short period of time. No choice, he can only engage in a protracted war with his opponent. Fortunately, this is also one of Xia Xingxiao's specialties.

  "Summer Star Xiao, Ice Profound Power! Frosty Palm!" Suddenly, Li Yu's voice came.

  Xia Xingxiao didn't hesitate, immediately changing his breath to stimulate the cold and gloomy true energy with Bingxuan Jing. He raised his hand and it was a move of Frosty Ice Palm. The true energy that had reached the extreme point of coldness instantly enveloped the sand thief. Indeed, this move was very effective, and the surface of the sand thief's body suddenly appeared a strange pale blue color. His movements also slowed down in an instant.

  "Boom!"

  Li Yuzi rushed up and punched out, and the body of that desert thief shattered instantly.

  Xia Xingxiao was slightly stunned and didn't understand what had just happened. The powerful Sand Bandit had just been defeated by Li Yujie with a single punch?

  Li Yuzhi quickly explained: "The Sha family is afraid of freezing. Their physical structure, once frozen, will become extremely fragile and can be shattered with one punch."

  Xia Xingxiao immediately understood, it turned out to be the case. This is indeed a trick. Unexpectedly, the seemingly invincible Sha tribe actually had such an Achilles' heel. After knowing this trick, dealing with the Sha tribe became much easier.

  At this time, the three of Buddha's head, Buddha's niche and Buddha's ancestor were also entangled in a fierce battle with the third sand thief. However, the fighting power of this sand thief was exceptionally strong. Among the three sand thieves, his strength was the strongest. Moreover, he had a weapon. The sand thief's weapon was a very long Miao Dao, with a large attack range, making it difficult for the three Buddhas to get close.

  Xia Xingxiao stomped her foot and flew into the air, and from a distance, she launched a Condensed Blood Claw. This was Chen Jinnan's ultimate technique, the Grandmaster of the Tiandi Sect. Once caught, one's entire body would be frozen solid, a true death by freezing. With the power of Bingxuan True Energy, the effect was even more extraordinary. In a one-on-one battle, not even the Xuanyang Divine Palm could compare to its effectiveness. A single grab from afar could freeze her opponent into an ice stick. Of course, this required sufficient True Energy.

  As expected, the powerful sand thief was suppressed by the icy true energy of the Blood Freezing Claw, and his movements slowed down instantly. Xia Xingxiao's move, Blood Freezing Claw, had all the necessary factors in place, but its only shortcoming was that the compression degree of the true energy was not enough to directly freeze the target. After all, none of his dantians had been cultivated to level three yet.

  However, under the influence of his Blood God Claw, the target's actions were also greatly restricted, and his body was in a state of low-temperature fragility. A petrified body is most afraid of low temperatures. The Three Buddhas took advantage of the situation and punched and kicked him, directly blasting him to pieces.

  The battle ended, Xia Xing said with a humble heart: "Why are the Sha tribe afraid of freezing?"

  Li Yuzi smiled and said: "I don't know either, it's just like that. Actually, fighting the Sha family has many tricks, I'll tell you slowly."

  He said, throwing out a high-strength alloy rope and skillfully tying the lifeboat back up, then lifting it back to base. Along the way, Xia Xingxiao was observing the battle in the starry sky outside. The battle in the starry sky was still very intense. Whether it was the human army or the Sha tribe's army, there were constant casualties. It was estimated that the battle would not end for a while.

  A group of people returned to the base, and when the lifeboat opened, there were five female soldiers inside. However, they were not communication officers, but medical personnel. Their uniforms were light white, pure and elegant, very likable. They were all young and beautiful, with the oldest being only twenty-five years old. Their military ranks were either lieutenant or second lieutenant.

  Li Yuzi sent them off after a simple exchange with them. Before leaving, several young female soldiers unconsciously took a glance at Xia Xingxiao, with a somewhat reluctant tone. Two of the young female soldiers' cheeks even turned slightly red.

  Just now, Xia Xingxiao and Sha Tou's battle, they both saw him in the lifeboat. His elegant posture, strong attacking power, ruthless and merciless martial arts, left a very deep impression on them. Now, he is wearing a third-class soldier's uniform, standing quietly there, leaving another completely different impression on them.

  Young female soldiers always have a natural sense of worship for heroic figures, especially towards their saviors. To be honest, Xia Xingxiao wasn't particularly good-looking. He had sufficient height and decent facial features, even if he couldn't be described as handsome or elegant, at least he was presentable and dignified.

  Unfortunately, Xia Xingxiao never approached them and didn't speak to them either. They were too embarrassed to ask for Xia Xingxiao's name. All they could do was silently memorize Xia Xingxiao's military number in their hearts and try to find out later. Fortunately, Xia Xingxiao's military number, XXX332331, was very easy to remember, and they remembered it after just one recitation.
