Chapter 54: Ice and Ice (Part One)
Two people ran deep into the forest, where the explosion occurred, and saw a scene that left them both stunned. Even Ling Fei, who had once made all the ability users tremble with fear, was deeply shocked.
Zhang Qionana's father floated in mid-air, his eyes tightly closed. Within a radius of about 50 meters around him, not a single blade of grass was left standing. The area was scorched and desolate, with only a large expanse of charred earth visible, and flames still burning in some places.
A halo of milky white light surrounded him, spreading out in reverse, like a white lotus flower, but deathly pale.
Zhang Qiana fainted a hundred meters away, and a person wearing a black cloak stood in front of her, covering their chest. Their entire body was shrouded in the black cloak, making it impossible to discern their figure or appearance.
Ling Fei and Han Ru Yue were also at a loss for a moment, unsure of what was happening or how to intervene.
Zhang's father seemed to notice the two of them, closed his eyes and slowly turned around in mid-air; "You've really come."
Mr. Zhang's actions also caught the attention of the man in black, who raised his head, and the blackness inside his cloak seemed to have no body at all. Ling Fei was stared at by him, feeling very uncomfortable.
"What's going on?" Ling Fei looked solemnly at the man in black cloak and then turned to Zhang Fu.
Mr. Zhang's mouth curled up with a faint smile; "Nothing, just a small bug, but this bug seems to be not weak." After that, Mr. Zhang turned his head sideways, closed his eyes and "looked" at the man, giving people a feeling that he could indeed see.
"Can it be solved? I'm mainly here to save my student." Ling Fei said with a slight curl of his lip.
"Are you looking down on me?" The mysterious figure in the black cloak, standing not far from Zhang Qiaona, finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in a hoarse voice.
Ling Fei heard this and took a few steps forward, shrugged his shoulders; "I didn't put you in my eyes at all." After finishing speaking, Ling Fei suddenly ran up, several steps crossing this not long or short hundred meters.
He immediately threw a fierce punch at the mysterious person, with a loud whistling sound of the fist wind, showing the magnitude of his strength.
That mysterious person raised his hand, blocked Ling Fei's wrist, and pushed it to one side. Ling Fei only felt that his strength was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and a very awkward feeling spread from his wrist throughout his body.
"Tai Chi Fist?" Ling Fei smiled lightly, his other hand opened and inserted forward, sticking to the mysterious man's chest and hooking under his armpit. He pulled the mysterious man's right hand up, and the latter's hand involuntarily rose. Ling Fei's hand, which was being held back, suddenly struck forward, shaking in front of the mysterious man's chest. The mysterious man let out a muffled groan, stumbled backward five or six steps, and steadied himself. He raised his empty, pitch-black face to look at Ling Fei, his voice still hoarse; "Burst Fist?!"
Ling Fei stood up straight, shook his arms and raised them high; "Nonsense."
Han Ruoyue stood still, watching Ling Fei and the mysterious person fight, but her body was already surrounded by a blue cold current, with each current rotating around her, the temperature around her dropped several dozen degrees instantly.
Looking at Ling Fei's figure, Han Yue's eyes appeared hazy again. Was he still the scoundrel who had a very bad impression on her? He always brought surprises to himself. Lin Canghai's warning, she took the initiative to probe and attack, but it had no effect on him. Qin Shang, known as the God of Prophecy, was very close to him, and Zero, who made all the ability users tremble with fear... what other secrets did he have?
Shaking her head, she smiled self-deprecatingly and concentrated on manipulating the water elements in the air, transforming them into deadly weapons - icy currents.
"Boom!" The mysterious man and Ling Fei brushed shoulders again, each punching the other in the chest. Ling Fei rubbed his chest, looking at the unmoving mysterious man, and suddenly felt that this outfit was very familiar.
A figure flashed in his mind, that so-called Thunder Guardian, wasn't he also wearing this suit?
Having thought of this, Ling Fei couldn't help but look towards Zhang Bo, who had been keeping silent and floating in the air like a celestial being.
"No, too many things don't add up. What's going on?" For the first time, Ling Fei felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, a feeling of being controlled by a mastermind behind the scenes, step by step, into a trap.
From the black meeting to the black strip, the surprise of three families seeing themselves, then one after another appearing doubts, until the murder case on that day's dawn, all shrouded the entire incident in a mysterious veil.
Just as Ling Fei was thinking, the mysterious person's attack came again, and under the sudden attack, Ling Fei could only cross his arms to protect his upper body. However, the mysterious person's fist did not land on his arms, but Ling Fei felt a strong pain in his abdomen. When he looked down, the mysterious person's other hand had already hit his stomach.
A sharp pain suddenly pierced through, Ling Fei let out a loud cough, his hand knife slashed out horizontally, the mysterious person retreated like lightning, and Ling Fei also took several steps back, forcing himself to hold down the urge to vomit, making every effort to calm himself down.
"Are you also a Temple person?" Ling Fei gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, his body much weaker than before, having suffered multiple setbacks. With Ling Fei's temperament, he should have gone berserk long ago.
"You don't need to know." The mysterious person spread out his hands, a cluster of flames appearing in his left hand, while his right hand was white cold air.
Ling Fei's eyebrows shot up; "Twin Souls with Different Abilities?!"
"The dead don't need to know too much." The mysterious man seemed to ignore Han Yue and Zhang Bo, waving his hand to throw a basketball-sized fireball at Ling Fei. Ling Fei hastily dodged, the fireball exploding just behind him, causing a wave of heat to surge up from behind, but unexpectedly, a cold air mass seemed to know his evasive route, and before he could even steady himself, a cold current flew right in front of him!
Ling Fei felt the biting cold air rushing towards him, and with no way to avoid it, he could only close his eyes and stand there waiting for the chill to penetrate his body. But unexpectedly, this time he didn't get hit again.
"What the hell, how did I get so lucky?" He muttered to himself, opened his eyes and took a look, only to find that the mass of cold air had stopped one foot away from his face, several blue streams of coldness wrapping around it, gradually eroding it.
The mysterious person no longer looked at Ling Fei, but instead turned to look at Han Ruyue. His hoarse and low voice also showed a hint of curiosity; "Ice system? No... that's not it, what is your special ability?"
The mysterious person is like a student asking questions to the teacher, digging deep to get to the bottom of things.
Han Ruoyue let out a cold hum, her ten fingers slightly moving, and ten blue streams of chilliness danced at her fingertips with the movement of her hands.
"Huh? Interesting......" The mysterious person swung his hand, and a wave of cold air reappeared; "Then let's see whose ice is stronger?" As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious person's cold air was like it didn't cost anything, wave after wave crashing towards Han Ruoyue.
Han Ruoyue's ten fingers danced, and the ten slender cold streams were like whips, shattering, absorbing, and growing stronger. The mysterious person's hands didn't stop, and the cold air became even more abundant. Han Ruoyue was somewhat overwhelmed, and the two fought to a white heat, completely disregarding the two people still standing beside them.
Zhang's father saw that the two had already started fighting, and slowly descended to the ground. The milky white lotus flowers around him disappeared, but Ling Fei felt a strange sensation, his body becoming even lighter. He immediately understood that Zhang's father's ability was a domain, and an irreversible one at that. Earlier, he must have released a gravity-like domain.
Mr. Zhang walked to Ling Fei's side, struggled to open his eyes, and his pupils didn't focus at first. He looked at Ling Fei blankly for a moment before his pupils gradually returned to normal. Mr. Zhang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I never thought I'd have a day where I'd accept the heavenly punishment." After laughing for a while, Mr. Zhang didn't say much more. He walked directly to Zhang Qian's side, took her wrist to feel her pulse, and after a moment, Mr. Zhang's tightly locked expression gradually relaxed, and Ling Fei also let out a sigh of relief. Since Mr. Zhang made this expression, it meant that Zhang Qian was already safe.
Just as the two of them let out a sigh of relief, a strong gust of wind blew by, causing the leaves in the small grove to rustle. Zhang's father quickly stood up and gave Ling Fei a deep look; "I'm counting on you, I still need to take Qiao Na back..."
Ling Fei nonchalantly waved his hand, casting a sidelong glance at the mysterious person who had already been subdued by Han Ruoye; "Let's go, anyway I came to rescue my student, but... there are some things I still want to ask you."
After finishing speaking, Ling Fei turned his back and no longer looked at Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu smiled gratefully, carried Zhang Qiaona on his back, bypassed the intense fight between Han Ruoyue and the mysterious person, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice came; "Hey, isn't this the enforcer of the Temple? How did you end up so miserable?"
