DongFang JingLei's eyes lit up as he spoke, ”I understand!” Putting the pill into HuaHu's mouth, he stood up and continued with a smile yet not a smile on his face, ”The lady inciting chaos outside is under you, am I right? Will there be any danger?”
Ling Tian let out a light smile, ”Second Master DongFang is indeed astute! There might be danger, but the party in danger will definitely not be her!”
DongFang JingLei received a nasty shock and could only let out a bitter smile as he slowly walked to the entrance and loudly commanded, ”The lady is an honored guest of mine, invite her in, and no one is to slight her!”
Looking back, he happened to see Ling Tian sitting in his original seat, feeling around at the bottom of the table for a vat of wine . He couldn't help but frown as he spoke, ”Aren't you even the least bit afraid that I'll take the chance to escape and trap you in here?”
”Hehe…” Ling Tian broke the wine seal with a hand, glancing at DongFang JingLei as he blandly replied, ”Firstly, you won't dare! And secondly, you can't! Brother DongFang is a smart person, thus you would never do such a brainless act!”
”That's right, I don't dare and neither can I!” DongFang JingLei heartily admitted . Having seen with his own eyes how HuaHu had bizarrely toppled onto the ground without even a challenge, forget about escaping, he wouldn't even dare to make a wrong move that would make Ling Tian suspicious . The rash move he had made previously was out of concern for the brother who had undergone life and death with him . However, he did not know that it was precisely this move that had actually given him the opportunity to live, as well as hope!
”Since that's the case, then why would I be afraid? Afraid that you would find someone to kill me?! If you really manage to find someone, the only party losing out would be yourself!” Ling Tian lifted up his cup and took a light sip . Smacking his lips, he placed the cup aside and continued, ”This wine is too ordinary, aren't there any better ones around?” DongFang JingLei did not know whether to laugh or cry at this statement, the wine Ling Tian was holding was the sacred wine of the DongFang Imperial Palace!
At the moment, the twins He ChuLai and He ChuQu had already turned into identical 'snowmen', and beside them were tens of other ice statues, in various forms of movement, but all frozen stiff . All of them were obviously frozen by the lady's internal energies!
As for Li Xue, who was holding her sides and laughing where she stood, the hundreds of experts there could only reveal bitter expressions on their faces, not daring to make a move . Li Xue would naturally not pressure them, after all, her mission was to delay for time for as long as possible . Seeing how the surrounding circle of people was growing ever denser, she couldn't help but feel gleeful as she thought, Yes, yes, all come and take a look, then Tian'ge will not even be noticed!
Upon hearing the command pa.s.sed by DongFang JingLei, the group of guards then let out a breath of relief, clearing a path over to the tent where JingLei resided without any delay .
Better send this little grandaunt off, she probably knows witchcraft, to actually knock the two twin experts down in just one round! She even froze their bodies, but left them alive, as evidenced by their rapidly swiveling eyeb.a.l.l.s, but their actions remaining stiff and rigid!
What sort of weird sorcery was this? Could this lady be a human icicle or a reincarnation of a snow demon? Why was it that anyone she touched would become a 'snowman'? Wasn't that too horrifying?!
If Ling Tian was present, he would naturally be able to tell that these people were merely prodded on their acupoints by Li Xue . While they looked like they were frozen alive, they were in no mortal danger . However, because Li Xue was too stealthy with her actions and added to the fact that she activated her Divine Ice Formula carelessly, she unknowingly added a few extra layers to her victim's body, naturally freezing them solid . . .
As for He ChuLai and He ChuQu, they naturally couldn't be compared to Li Xue in terms of strength, but they should not have fallen so easily . It was only because of Li Xue's devious movements, coupled with the fact that the Divine Ice Formula was a cultivation technique unseen in the Heavenly Star Continent, that made them lose in just a single exchange!
Seeing Li Xue enter the tent, the group of guards immediately spread out, grabbing bunches of dried leaves to pile around the bodies of the victims . This was followed by smoke rising… yes, trying to thaw them .
However, it was currently the middle of summer! The ice on their bodies quickly thawed, but the resulting wave of heat made the two brothers He ChuLai and He ChuQu scream out, but due to their acupoints being restricted, they couldn't move at all, only staring at the group with sweat pouring down their faces…
And seeing that the group of them still remained unmoving, the guards thought they were frozen too badly, and a few of the 'kind-hearted' people actually braved the heat and danger to move the fire even closer to the 'frozen' people . . .
In a short moment, the smell of cooked flesh began to waft out…
