The First Pest > Chapter 065: Extremely Cold

  （0065）

  However, compared to Xia Xingxiao's abnormality, Sun Shiyue's superior skill is somewhat inferior. Xia Xingxiao's cultivation of icy techniques such as Bingxuanjin, Tianweixinyin, Ningzhengjiubian, and Jiuyinjing, paired with techniques like Huaguzongzhang, Hanbingmengzhang, Ningshuxianzhua, and Xuanyangshen Zhang, can freeze those bandits into unrecognizable shapes as soon as he makes a move. At this time, Li Yujie and others who followed Xia Xingxiao to pick up the scraps, happened to make their move, directly blasting them to pieces.

  Compared to Sun Shiyue, Xia Xingxiao's greatest variation is that the range of his cold true energy is extremely large. Sun Shiyue's control range does not exceed 50 meters, but Xia Xingxiao's control range exceeds at least 500 meters. This means that even if the sand thieves are rushing from behind, they will also be affected by the severe cold true energy, and their speed and combat power will drop sharply.

  It's easy to imagine that those sand thieves, before they even entered the battlefield, were already frozen stiff by the overwhelming cold energy. By the time they entered the battlefield, how much combat power would be left? The closer the sand thieves got to Xia Xingxiao, the more severe the impact was. Within a 50-meter radius of Xia Xingxiao, the sand thieves were almost all frozen into ice sculptures, fragile beyond words. To say nothing of heavy blows, even a light tap could shatter them on the spot.

  A fierce and violent sand thief, after entering Xia Xingxiao's control range, immediately slowed down its speed, feeling that its own hands were not agile. The big chopping knife, which was originally less than fifty kilograms, suddenly became heavy, directly jumping to five hundred kilograms. As a result, he didn't even have time to raise the big chopping knife before being punched to death by Li Yuzi.

  Another small leader of the desert thieves had set his sights on Li Yuji from afar. He rushed over excitedly and stabbed at Li Yuji with a knife. Just then, Xia Xingxiao happened to strike with a move of the Mystic Frost Palm, directly freezing him into an ice sculpture. Li Yuji turned around and punched the small leader's head, causing him to disintegrate instantly.

  If it were human cultivators, they would not be so afraid of the cold and dark martial arts. But they are just sand thieves. When they chose to become sand, they gained many benefits, but also paid a certain price. Fear of cold is the biggest price they paid. The entire Alashan Gobi Desert is extremely hot. Some planets are simply boiling magma.

  Everything has its pros and cons. The benefits of being petrified are increased attack power and enhanced defensive capabilities. However, the drawbacks include a fear of cold temperatures and a tendency for one's body to become stiff. A body that has been petrified is truly like loose sand in extremely cold conditions, and it doesn't withstand blows very well. As soon as it receives an ordinary external force attack, it will be shattered directly.

  However, the Sand Thieves did not think that this fatal flaw would bring them any serious consequences. Because in the human army, those who practiced Yin and Han martial arts were not many in number. Various Yin and Han martial arts only had an obvious restraining effect on the Sand Thieves, but had no effect on the Scorpio and Samoan people. Therefore, as long as they didn't encounter them, nothing would happen. How could they have thought that not only did they encounter them, but also encountered a super pervert?

  "Wow! Xia Xingxiao, you're too perverted!" Even the normally calm and composed Li Yuzhi couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart.

  No way, this Xia Xingxiao is really too abnormal. Abnormal to the point where Li Yuzhi doesn't know what words to use to describe him. Those rushing sand thieves, their strength was all between first-class soldier and lower officer. If it weren't for Xia Xingxiao, with his own strength, Li Yuzhi would have had to go through a fierce battle to take down just one of them. It's likely that he would have already sacrificed countless times.

  But now, his battles were simply too easy. Those terrible sand bandits were all frozen into ice sculptures by Xia Xingxiao, and with just one punch, they could be shattered to pieces. Not to mention the Buddha's head, the Buddha's nest, the Buddha's ancestor, their heavy weapons such as the Vajra pestle, the wheat iron rod, and the wolf tooth stick. These heavy weapons were basically swept away in one stroke, just like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. As long as Xia Xingxiao was still there, no matter how many sand bandits came up, they would be killed by them.

  Sun Shiwei soon discovered that his superior, in front of Xia Xingxiao this third-class soldier, was like a small witch seeing a great witch, not worth looking at. He simply returned after splitting up and focused on picking up leaks by Xia Xingxiao's side. After all, he was a superior, with strong strength, one punch out, the fist wind passed through, dozens of sand thieves were beaten to pieces.

  "Damn! Too perverted!" Sun Shiyue also couldn't help but sigh deeply.

  For hundreds of years since the establishment of the Myanmar military base, there has never been such a freak. As soon as he made his move, a large area was frozen, and with one swing of his hand, several hundred sand thieves were enveloped in cold true energy. Such a big handwriting can only be done by Xia Xingxiao. If it weren't for this freak's existence, Sun Shilei might not have been able to eat or walk away.

  "Kill him!"

  "Kill him!"

  The Sand Bandits weren't fools either, and they immediately sensed the terror of Xia Xinghe. His large-scale ice sealing tactic turned the Sand Bandit's attack into a complete suicide mission. If they didn't take him down, no matter how many more Sand Bandits went up, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths. The commander of the Sand Bandits immediately gathered dozens of the strongest fighting Sand Bandits and charged towards Xia Xinghe.

  "Stop them!" Sun Shiyue took the lead in blocking Xia Xinxiao's way.

  Li Yuzhi and others realized the danger, rushed forward bravely, and intercepted the sand thieves who were killing them.

  Sha Ze wants to take out Xia Xingxiao first, but Sun Shiyue and the others are determined to ensure Xia Xingxiao's safety at all costs. As long as Xia Xingxiao is safe, Sha Ze will have no chance to make a move. In front of Xia Xingxiao's extreme coldness, they can only keep coming to die. On the other hand, if Xia Xingxiao encounters an accident, everyone present will likely be sacrificed in an instant.

  "Kill them!"

  "Kill them!"

  The commander of the sand thieves was furious and personally beheaded him with a knife.

  Sun Shiwei immediately stepped forward and punched out, intercepting the commander of this sand thief.

  The other sand thieves were also blocked by Li Yuzi and others. The battle between the two sides was even more intense than before. With every breath, a large number of sand thieves fell down. In the face of Xia Xingxiao's extremely cold true energy, the combat effectiveness of the sand thieves was greatly restricted, and it was not easy to break through Sun Shikui and Li Yuzi's defense.

  Sun Shiwei and Li Yuzhi, among others, had made up their minds to die if necessary, completely disregarding their own safety, and fought bravely against the bandits. This was not because they had any deep personal connection with Xia Xingxiao, but solely due to the demands of battle. For the sake of victory in battle, they could sacrifice themselves, but they couldn't let Xia Xingxiao be sacrificed easily. Because his role was truly too great.

  Generally, when a warrior sacrifices himself, another warrior will immediately replace him. Sun Shiye and Li Yuzi are no exception. If they die in battle, someone will soon take their place to continue fighting. Unless all the cultivators of the Myanmar military base are killed or the federal army is defeated, there will never be a shortage of substitutes for their positions.

  But if Xia Xingxiao were to die in battle, the entire Mandalorian military base, and indeed the entire Federal army, would have no one who could replace him. Therefore, he absolutely cannot die.

  As Xia Xingxiao, he was not willing to hide behind. He preferred to rush forward and exert his powerful Diamond Fist, punching the sand thieves one by one and sending them all flying. However, he also understood that this was not the time for reckless behavior. He had to follow the battle plan. Single combat was almost negligible in such a chaotic battle.

  Sun Shiwei and Li Yuzhi were desperately protecting him, not letting him take the direct impact of the sand thieves. Similarly, he also had to guarantee their safety with all his might. Otherwise, if they died in battle, he would have to face the sand thieves' human sea tactics directly.

  No matter how strong his skills are, he will definitely end up fleeing in defeat. A person's skills can't resist the overwhelming enemy like a tide. Moreover, these enemies' levels are all several levels higher than him!

  Xia Xingxiao's only regret was that his cultivation of the Nine Transformations of the True Essence had not yet reached the Great Completion stage, and he could not condense a clone. Otherwise, with his reserve of transformed true energy, once he could transform two clones out, it would be equivalent to having three transformed Xia Xingxiaos joining the battle team at the same time. Just thinking about it made him feel that he was indeed too powerful.

  Unfortunately, he is not yet able to slowly split his body. There's no other way, so all things can only be shouldered by him alone. On the one hand, he constantly punches out the coldest true energy, covering an area of about 500-600 meters in diameter. This cold true energy is the natural enemy of the Sand Thief, and can greatly weaken its combat effectiveness, which cannot be interrupted at any time.

  Apart from releasing extremely cold true energy, Xia Xingxiao also healed Sun Shiyue and Li Yuzhi's injuries. The five of them were trapped in the Sand Bandits' human sea tactics, and it was inevitable that they would get hurt. The battlefield was really too chaotic. No matter how skilled one's martial arts were, it was impossible to block all the attacks. Getting hit once or twice was inevitable. Whenever someone got injured, Xia Xingxiao would activate the Purple Mist Divine Technique, releasing purple mist true energy from a distance to heal them.

  As long as it's not a serious injury, no physical contact is required, and remote healing is fine. The Purple Mist True Qi originally has the characteristic of cloud steaming and fog gathering, which can transmit energy over long distances. Of course, if it's an external injury with missing arms or legs, there's nothing he can do about it. No matter how powerful the internal skill, it's impossible to reconnect a missing limb. That's the exclusive domain of hospital surgery. Fortunately, such a terrible situation has never occurred.

  In fact, under the extreme cold true energy shroud, the sand thieves' combat movements were generally reduced by more than 70%, and for Sun Shiyue and Li Yuzi, they could not constitute effective harm. Moreover, the battlefield space was limited, and not all sand thieves could get close to them. As long as they paid a little attention, they could avoid being seriously injured.
