Chapter 41 (1/2)

As soon as Boss Snow initiated the attack, Sui Xiong instantly felt an imposing manner that was totally different from the kid’s.

She exerted a pressure on people that was totally different from Sui Xiong’s, separate from how one felt when facing the magnificent God. It was swift, fierce and terrifying, making one feel as if he’d met his natural enemy at the top of the food chain who could impose a powerful manner.

Her eyes also changed. Her eyes which had looked normal before began to turn golden-red, and bluish-white patterns started to crawl on her white and fatty face. Small scales appeared on her face, and at the same time, horns were growing from her sideburns and behind her ears, which was really terrifying.

“Shuang, close the door! Xian, activate the magic array!” she said coldly. “Phil! Attack him!”

Soon, a peculiar child called Shuang jumped out and bypassed Sui Xiong, who was at a stalemate with Boss Snow. He arrived at the doorway with only one step and waved his hand gently, and bang! The heavy door closed. Then a blue-white light appeared beneath their feet and soon spread to the grocery store. Obviously there was a powerful wizard who was secretly practicing a spell.

Meanwhile, Sui Xiong could hear heavy steps, and the sound of a metal boot came from the inner room.

Sui Xiong could not give them the chance to finish activating the magic array, or he would be trapped. He shouted and reached out ten of his tentacles and stabbed Boss Snow and Shuang. He also used one of his tentacles to block off the inner room, so the man inside could not get out.

He had already known who these people in the grocery store were and had exerted all his power; even a God would not pull his punches when facing several dragons. If he did, it was because he thought the upper layers of skin on his face were too thick and he wanted his opponent to help him remove a couple.

This was just like in the world of online gaming. A world-class pro might be able to compete with an amateur with one hand behind his back, but what if he was competing with an advanced amateur whose level was already close to a pro? He might as well be asking for a fight!

Let’s put this situation in the scenario of a soccer game. Even if they had conceded ten goals to the Chinese team, the Brazilian team could still win a game, but the same thing could happen against the Russian team!

The tentacles made from cold energy targeted them. Two tentacles were holding the enemy in pincers, eight tentacles were attacking Boss Snow, one tentacle was blocking the gate of the inner room, and the rest of the four tentacles were protecting Palin. At the same time, Sui Xiong was making more tentacles by consuming cold energy, so he could enhance his attack damage.

As soon as the door was closed, half of Shuang’s body was still human and half had become a dragon’s body. Shuang grew very tall and had a dragon head, two dragon claws, a dragon tail, and a human body which had turned maroon. Shuang was waving his claws extremely quickly, as if he was brandishing sharp swords, accompanied by a piercing sound as if the sky was cracking. Claws and tentacles collided, bang, bang, bang! It sounded as if a group of men with super strength were swinging their axes to make a hole in a hard patch of ice.

But Shuang was not as powerful as Sui Xiong and repeatedly backed away. Were it not for his tail, he would already have been defeated.

The battle between Sui Xiong and Boss Snow was rather different. Boss Snow had turned into a ball of bluish-white cold light, and her figure was hardly recognizable. Sui Xiong’s eight ice-tentacles shrouded this cold light, but his tentacles became covered with frost. The two layers of ice were eroding each other silently, which made Palin nervous and terrified as he watched from the sidelines.

As a wizard himself, Palin wasn’t very powerful, but he was eagle-eyed. He could tell that the Void Faceless got the better of Shuang and could not possibly lose, while Sui Xiong was in a stalemate with Boss Snow. Their magic powers were nullifying each other and both of them were trying to gain control of the cold air. This sort of combat was the fiercest, since the intention to kill was unspoken but clear. This was similar to a fight between two advanced wizards who were using the same spell in a fight. The key was in who had better control of the spell and the accumulation of their mental powers. If one of them stuck his neck out, the other would avail himself of the opportunity and badly injure his counterpart!

As for the man in the inner room, from the very beginning Sui Xiong did not intend to attack him. The tentacle immediately collapsed as soon as it reached the doorway of the inner room, becoming a big, firm ice door. It blocked the gate and prevented the man inside from getting out.

Sui Xiong had already had his tactics ready from the beginning of the fight. His plan was to cut off the connection between the man in the inner room and the people outside so he could focus on fighting with them.

Even a lion needs to be careful when facing a rabbit, so one should never give his enemy an opportunity that he can exploit to his advantage!

Sui Xiong’s tactics were correct in general. If everything went well he could defeat Shuang, then Boss Snow and finally their support in the inner room.

However, things rarely went as planned.

Bang! Not far away, the floor suddenly broke and a maroon figure jumped out, another guy with a body that was half human and half dragon. He was a bit shorter than Shuang but had equal strength. However, he didn’t try to rescue Shuang or attack Palin; instead, he dashed towards the inner room.

Sui Xiong was surprised and reached out two tentacles to stop him. The guy had no intention to confront him with toughness; instead he slid against the floor right beneath the two tentacles. Then he arrived at the doorway of the inner room that was blocked by the ice wall. He yelled, brandished his claws, and hit the ice wall harshly.
