“That’s right…” Vulture glanced at him and laughed: “Why? Mr. Xu, you…”
“I just asking about it.” Xu Yangyi shut his eyes to rest.
After the three left, the airplane fell into silence once again.
Forty minutes later, the airplane steadily stopped and descended. After taking a car for another hour, they finally trod into the both brilliant and famous ancient foundation of China’s history — Nantong’s Fengyi City.
Fengyi City was the capital of Nantong Province. It had the manpower of a major province, located in the northwest and was the heart where financial resources came together. Even if the western region couldn’t compare to the development and prosperity of the eastern region, at this time and this moment, it was still like a lantern blazing brightly.
With towering buildings and neon lights that cut across the horizon, the capital was decorated with all kinds of flas.h.i.+ng billboards, giving it a magnificence like Heaven’s palace. It was midsummer, and men and women wore attractive clothing, becoming the most vibrant footnote in the scenery of the night. Waves of moving cars performed a symphony that caused people to sleep soundly through the night.
Ten students, no, soon they wouldn’t be students anymore, looked towards the bustling Fengyi City somewhat spellbound.
Heavens Law was a militarized administration. They couldn’t leave for ten-odd years, so all that they knew came from the television. When they were inducted to Heavens Law, all of them didn’t exceed ten years of age.
They knew that there was city called Shanghai in the east, and it was the nexus of China’s trends and financials. They knew that to the north, there was government city called Beijing. It was China’s political center and where Heavens Law’s central headquarters was located, as well… however, this was the first time they had seen everything.
Xu Yangyi was like this too. He was born in a small town in the north, and had long ago lost the image of a city within his memories. The only thing that remained was a vague destruction. Eight years later, he had cut straight across China to the western part of a major province, Nantong Province. In regards to everything before his eyes, he was like a sponge, silently absorbing it and swiftly adapting to it.
A group of superhumans trained by humanity, inhumans, were already standing wordlessly in the shadow of Fengyi City.
All of a sudden, his eyes suddenly flashed. His body nearly reflexively braced itself.
A gaze...
His five senses exceeded cultivators of the same realm by over a third. He had clearly felt a blade-like gaze a moment ago coldly sweeping over his body!
A sharp blade, icy-cold and penetrating, yet without the least concern. It was a like a tiger watching its prey, permeating the air with a murderous aura, something that one absolutely couldn’t lower their guard around.
Such a feeling… made his body go numb from head to toe!
It was a bone-penetrating strength… He pursed his lips and sucked in deeply, suddenly looking towards where the gaze was drifting over from.
In the next second, the towering foe stood up from where they were.
Their location was inside a place called the Triumphant Virtue Plaza. Opposite to it was a people’s park where a crowd of old men and women were dancing in the square at night, draped under the spill of light. There were several pairs of men an
d women standing at the side of the road waving for a taxi, bearing expressions that were a tad bit impatient. Behind them, there was a building over fifty stories, the Triumphant Virtue Tower.
A building of flowing light and vibrant color. Yet the satisfied crowd were simply incapable of hiding from the gaze of the death G.o.d at the top!
A gentle gaze seemed to make the air freeze!
At the summit of the Triumphant Virtue Tower, there was a white nine-tailed fox no less than a hundred meters in length. Beneath the illumination moon light, it was like a G.o.d overlooking the world. Its eyes were brilliant like rubies, carrying a hazy teasing and killing aura, like a monarch swiftly roaming through a crowd of officials, sweeping its eyes the crowd below!
“Swish…” The night wind gently blew, and its body of snow-white fur formed a billow of white surging up and turbulently, making it indistinguishable from moonlight or a fur coat. The nine silvery fox tails were gracefully poised at the top of the Triumphant Virtue Tower, and its sharp claws lazily propped its lower jaw, like a pure silver throne of a G.o.d!
“Thump… Thump…” In that split second where Xu Yangyi’s gaze met the gigantic fox for the first time, he nearly felt the blood of his entire body roil madly! He simply couldn’t control his body and shake out of it!
Power… A power that was incapable of being imagined! It was a kind of situation like leisurely strolling through a tempest on the ocean surface. Already, it made his heart unable restrain itself from frantically speeding up! It was like a drum beating at the side of his ear!
His intuition informed him that if he moved, he wouldn’t live longer than three seconds!
“Huh?” The fox’s vision had originally s.h.i.+fted away, but it seemed to have sensed something. It turned back again to a place no one could see, and the luxurious silver hair of it’s throat gently moved: “A bit interesting…”
“Look.” In Xu Yangyi’s eyes, the fox moved and one of its tails lazily stuck up. Bored senseless, it faced towards the place where Xu Yangyi was standing and waved its tails, spitting out an vague syllable.
In the next second, a wind edge no less than ten-plus meters in length wildly raced towards Xu Yangyi like gus.h.i.+ng mercury to decapitate him! It carried a silver light brilliant to the eye that made even the surround air tremble!
In this wink of time, Xu Yangyi’s scalp numbed!
He couldn’t dodge...
This was his first physiological response, an attainment in combat he had gained from his long training at Heavens Law that made him initially feel that the wind edge was extremely light, yet extremely dangerous, revealing a mortal danger!
It wasn’t a level he could contest.
A demon with a body of a hundred meters… It was an old Foundation Establishment monster!
“Stay your hand!” At the same time, Zuo Lun roared, but he simply didn’t dare to charge forth!
Xu Yangyi’s pupils suddenly needled; in a breath, the wind edge was pressed to his throat! He seemed to have already saw the wretched scene of his head soaring into the sky!
But in the blink of an eye, it dispersed.
