1802 No Fighting Allowed (1/2)
The old man who had suddenly appeared wasn't just anybody; he was the Emperor of the Glacier Country. He had some business to attend to earlier and left for a while. What he didn't expect was that when he came back, he would see his own son being trampled under someone's foot.
The Crown Prince stared at the Emperor of the Glacier Country.
”Father,” he said, ”you have to avenge me. Kill this man! He slapped me in the face, and then stepped on my head. This is an act of disrespect against the Glacier Country.”
The Emperor of the Glacier Country nodded. Standing up, he glared at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with killing intent. ”You damnable thing,” his voice was cold. ”How dare you strike my son? I'm going to have you drawn and quartered!”
Qingfeng Li stared back at the Emperor, sneering. ”Damn geezer,” he said, his voice full of disdain. ”Last time at the Peach Blossom Inn, you attacked me without warning. Let's settle the score once and for all.”
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle…
Around them, the self-cultivators collectively backed away. They knew how powerful the Emperor of the Glacier Country was, and they had just witnessed Qingfeng Li's power with their own eyes.
Now that the two masters had gathered together, there would no doubt be powerful attacks being used. There was no way that the bystanders could withstand such force. It was better to back away, lest the energy from the battle soon to erupt cause them harm.
The Emperor of the Glacier County stepped forward, an icy energy radiating from his body, causing the air around him to frost over as though it was frozen.
Not willing to back off in the slightest, Qingfeng Li, too, took a step forward. The Wolf God's energy erupted from him like a bloody wolf waiting to be set loose so it could open its maw and devour everything in the world.
Qingfeng Li and the Emperor of the Glacier Kingdom stood face to face, their weapons drawn. A battle was sure to erupt at the slightest provocation.
”Halt!” A loud, clear voice sounded from nearby. ”In Emerald Lake City, fighting is forbidden!”
A middle-aged man with an authoritative aura walked in. The man had wild, untamed features; with thick, black brows and a prominent nose. He was tall, his whole body exuding a piercing energy as he stood there, straight as a spear. He had an awe-inspiring figure.
”Chief Commander,” the owner of the inn ran out hurriedly as he spoke in a respectful tone, ”What are you doing here?”
This middle-aged man was the Chief Commander of Emerald Lake City, the leader of the City's Guard Captains. He was very powerful, having reached the Spirit Monarch Realm Second Level. The energy radiating from him alone sent a chill down Qingfeng Li's spine.
The Emperor of the Glacier Country, too, backed away, his expression shifting; he knew that he was no match for this Chief Commander.
The Chief Commander gazed first at Qingfeng Li, then at the Emperor of the Glacier Country. ”The demonic beast riot waves are coming,” he said coldly, ”Put all your energy into defending against the demonic beast riot waves.”
With that, the Chief Commander turned and left, but the warning in his eyes did not dissipate.
The Emperor of the Glacier Country directed a cold glare at Qingfeng Li, before turning and leaving with his son. Although he was the Emperor of the Glacier County, his own strength was only at the Half Step Spirit Monarch Realm. Compared to the Chief Commander, a master of the Spirit Monarch Realm's Second Level, he wasn't even in the same class.
Qingfeng Li also took back his Monarch Law. He turned to Ya Yun, who was standing beside him. ”My Lady,” he asked, ”What are the demonic beast riot waves?”
