Chapter 96 The North of the North
In just one minute, a thrilling scene unfolded on the 15th ring!
First, Xu Mao wanted to cut off Su Dong's leg, and then Su Dong made a desperate counterattack, shattering Xu Mao's two legs!
Shocking!
Extremely shocked!
Su Dong's means were as violent as his attack! He said he would break Xu Mao's legs, and he really did! Without even a second of hesitation!
Wow!
The scene was in an uproar, although there were rules that stated one didn't need to take responsibility for injuries sustained during a martial competition, but Su Dong had clearly done it on purpose! Moreover, he had injured a level three Spiritual Venerable!
Ling Wu's 6th-level Su Dong defeated Ling Zun's 3rd-level Xu Mao with just one counterattack! This is too ruthless!
"What a ruthless move!" The mysterious young man on the viewing platform couldn't help but jump up, his eyes wide with an expression that seemed to be unable to believe Su Dong's victory.
"Yes, I've never seen anyone release their spiritual energy and then explode. Xu Mao didn't lose unfairly." The young man beside him said calmly in a low voice.
"Young master, didn't you notice? Su Dong is using demonic martial arts!" The young man said in a low voice.
The young man smiled slightly and said, "So what? As long as it's useful, that's all that matters. Don't mention him, I've also learned one or two magic spells, this is nothing, the key is Su Dong's spiritual power."
"Assuming he didn't have that special spiritual power, even if he learned magic, it wouldn't have had such an effect. And yet his spiritual power actually exploded? Who is this Su Dong anyway?"
The young man curled his lip, and it seemed that the young master of their own family had taken a great interest in Su Dong, and was completely unrepentant about Su Dong's violent behavior and use of demonic martial arts.
The demonic path is not something that can't be learned, it's just that learning it requires sufficient capital. Those warriors from large families, even if they learn to dominate the world, no one dares to control them. So-called rules are all made for ordinary people, from ancient times to the present, it has always been this way.
At this moment, Su Dong has walked down from the collapsed stage, Hua Yingyue is glad that Su Dong was not injured, and also sympathizes with Xu Mao, who was broken in both legs by Su Dong, and is screaming there like a slaughtered pig.
"Look at what you've done!" The staff on the battlefield shouted loudly at Su Dong: "You did it on purpose! I'm going to report you! Deduct your points!"
"Whatever!" Su Dong didn't even bother responding.
"This guy refused to say who sent him, you go first and avoid getting involved, I'll follow him later to see who wants to deal with me." Su Dong said in a low voice to Hua Yingyue.
Cutting grass must eliminate the root, this is Su Dong's creed!
So Su Dong didn't kill Xu Mao because he wanted to know who was behind the scenes trying to deal with him. As for the rules of the Divine Martial Battlefield? Su Dong had always ignored any rules!
"Don't want to implicate me?" Hua Yingyue was taken aback, Su Dong's protection of her moved this little girl deeply.
Hua Ying Yue's heart was filled with a pleasant feeling, and after being stunned for a while, she said: "I think I might know who did it..."
……
Flower house.
Huā Yìng Yuè has returned, and Huā Shí Jiǔ has also come back. In Huā Lǎo Hēi's study, they will report on today's events truthfully.
Miss Hua said in a low voice, "Tell him that after Ye Fengliu left, Su Dong secretly looked for his trail on the Shenwu battlefield. Fortunately, Ye Fengliu wasn't there, so Su Dong couldn't find him and returned."
"In my opinion, if Su Dong really finds him, he will probably kill him."
Hua Qian Gu burst out laughing and said: "This little guy is indeed interesting, he dares to take action against the Ye family? His guts are too big."
Hua Shijiu said: "He has some guts, but he didn't kill Xu Mao because he wanted to lure out Nian Fugui. However, regarding Qin Yin, Su Dong doesn't seem to have any intention."
Huajian nodded and said: "After all, it was not Qinyue's intention to lay hands on Su Dong. Su Dong letting her off also counts as a clear distinction between kindness and resentment, which is quite good."
"Right, you said Su Dong went back? Where did he go back to? Where on earth did this monster pop out from?"
Hua Shijiu shook his head and said, "I'm not clear, I was taking care of the young lady on one hand and Su Dong on the other. As soon as I slightly lost focus, Su Dong disappeared into a bamboo forest."
"Hua Qian sighed and said, 'I've also made some inquiries, but I haven't heard of anyone with such a background. Let me assign a few more helpers to you. Su Dong's identity needs to be investigated, and Xiaoyue's safety must not be compromised.'"
Huā Jiǔjiǔ smiled and shook her head, saying: "Forget about getting help, I'm used to being alone. Too many people would just cause chaos. Besides, if I couldn't find out something, no matter how many people you gave me, the result would probably be the same."
Huā Shíjiǔ was very confident in himself, so Huā Qiàngǔ didn't mention adding more manpower again.
"There's nothing else, you can withdraw now." Huajian Gu said.
Huā shí jiǔ dào: "Hái yǒu zuì hòu yī jiàn, rú guǒ chōng tū wú fǎ bì miǎn, Sū Dōng zhēn de shāng le Nián Fú Guāng, wǒ yào bù yào chā shǒu?"
Translation:
Huashan asked, "One more thing, if the conflict can't be avoided and Su Dong really hurts Nianfengguang, should I intervene or not?"
"Got it!" Hua Qiangu said with an iron tone: "If we save Xiao Yue, Su Dong will be mine, Flower Old Black's person!"
……
Ice Forge Citadel
Su Dong returned with a gloomy face. What's wrong? Suddenly, there was a strange light, looking for trouble on its own? This is indeed an unexpected disaster.
What made Su Dong even more depressed was that this troublemaker was still alive!
Su Dong opened the door and walked out of the metal giant egg. At this time, Huan Yu suddenly said in doubt: "Huh? Someone came from outside?"
Su Dong was taken aback. Huan Yu was the last guardian of Bing Xiang City and Zhong Bing God Fortress, so he wouldn't be unaware of any movement in this area.
"Is it Snowman?"
"No, they are some border people." Huan Yu said: "It's really strange, the Ice Seal City is surrounded by several ice mountains, and the road is difficult to travel. Let alone the border people, even the snow demons can hardly reach here. If there wasn't a huge threat, how could the border people possibly run to this place?"
The border people are a nomadic people living in the northern border, they are neither snow demons nor explorers.
It is said that the border people and the Snow Devils have a certain agreement, so the Snow Devils generally do not attack these ordinary people. They can barely survive in this extreme north wilderness by exchanging food and medicine with explorers during the summer. Their lives are very difficult.
The road to the Icebound City is treacherous, Su Dong has experienced it himself, he's a warrior and it took him three whole months to get here, let alone those border people.
"Let's go and take a look. The border people have risked their lives to come here, I'm guessing something very bad must have happened." Su Dong said in a low voice.
His brothers and father were all left in Hansheng City. Although several beast kings of the Spiritual Beast clan promised to take care of them, Su Dong was still a bit worried.
……
For several months, Su Dong walked out of the icy city for the first time and came to the outside world where heavy snow was falling.
Although it's already March, the northern border is still experiencing blizzards and bone-chilling cold.
After walking out about thirty miles, Su Dong finally saw several temporary dwellings made of ice blocks. In the north, building houses was not difficult, and snow and ice were the best materials. The hard part was how to survive.
Su Dong came to this newly established village and gathered all the living people together.
A dozen or so people, wrapped in thick layers of animal hides, stood shivering before Su Dong, their faces pale and emaciated, clearly exhausted from crossing the icy mountains.
Su Dong gave them some food as hard as stones and helped the two border people to simply treat their frostbite, instantly becoming a lifesaver in the eyes of these border people.
"Why did you run to this place?" Su Dong asked curiously.
The leader of these people was an old man who had already lost his teeth, but he was still gnawing on the hard dry rations given by Su Dong, saying: "We can't escape, the Snow Demons have gone mad!"
"We border people have always coexisted peacefully with those Snow Demons, after all they're stupid and can't even make their own tools or heal themselves. Many times they still need to rely on us. In the past years, Snow Demons would occasionally abduct our companions, but never like this time, wanting to wipe us out completely!" The old man said with a quiver, the rest of the people also looked like they had lingering fears.
"Why did they want to kill you?" Su Dong asked again.
"It's not for that damned expedition! At this time of year, the Snow Demons would normally head south, plundering human settlements to gather supplies for the winter."
"But this year is different, almost all the Snow Demons have gone to a more northern place! It seems like they are going to war! There's no food, so they can only eat us."
"Those who could escape have all escaped. We've spent half a year escaping to get here, and if we hadn't met you, we'd probably be dead by now."
The old man was still complaining to Su Dong, but Su Dong couldn't listen at all, because he was already attracted by the news of Xue Mo's journey north.
Su Dong knew that every few thousand years, the Ling Beast clan would make a big move northward. Now even Xue Mo was on a northern expedition!
The northern wilderness, ten thousand miles of ice and snow, what lies further north? What kind of place is that?!
