153 Frozen kings cape. (2/2)
All the people that had just been sitting around the campfire suddenly sprang up, metallic crossbows appearing in their grasps, bolts already loaded into the weapons. Like a well-oiled machine, they turned to face Li Yang and the others, some crouching to give those behind them better sight. All at once they fired their weapons, the bolts whizzing through the open windows and heading directly for Li Yang and the others. The group immediately started reloading after firing their weapons, clearly very proficient in the process.
Fang Ying was the one closest to the edge of the building so most of the bolts were heading directly for her, the air whistling slightly as the bolts cut through it. But despite the fact that most of the bolts were heading for Fang Ying, it was Zhao Feng that let out a small curse.
”Ah fuck, of course they went and did it.”
Zhao Feng felt something brush past him before he even managed to finish half his sentence, a few arcs of lightning crackling through the air. Li Yang appeared in front of Fang Ying almost instantly, an icy mist so dense that it almost resembled fire stretching out behind him like a cape.

Li Yang stomped the ground once and then almost vanished from sight, the only sign of his movement being drops of frozen Qi that fell to the ground in his wake. The bolts froze solid the moment he passed by them, freezing so thoroughly that they fell apart into icy dust that stuck to the drops of frozen Qi. He arrived in front of the lanky middle-aged man almost instantly, his eyes flickering with fire and lightning. There was one thing Li Yang would never allow, and that was for anyone to attack Fang Ying, she was his reverse scale.
The man didn't even have the time to react to Li Yang's moves, Li Yang had lower cultivation but their strength was worlds apart. Li Yang's left arm shot out and grabbed onto the opposite side of the man's neck, a jerk of his arm bending the entire man's body to the side as if he was trying to fold him sideways. Li Yang's left knee shot up at the same time, the man's waist colliding with Li Yang's knee, his spine fragmenting from the fierce power contained within the knee.
Blood shot out from the man's mouth as the organs in his abdomen ruptured, his injuries ensured that he would die even if he somehow managed to escape. But with Li Yang intent on killing, how could the man possibly have the chance to escape? The hand that was grabbing onto the man's neck clenched, a terrible chill spreading through his flesh and completely freezing his neck.
His neck ended up shattering due to the force of Li Yang's grasp, his body collapsing to the ground while his head remained in Li Yang's grasp. Li Yang casually tossed the head aside and set his eyes on the remaining 19 people, the icy mist that flickered like a flame fluttering behind him like the reaper's cape. But before he could launch his next attack, a hand landed on his shoulder.
”Yang'er, stop.”
Li Yang gazed at the 19 people with narrowed eyes but eventually raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders, the words of Fang Ying causing him to dispel the icy mist around him. The reason that Fang Ying spoke up only now was simple, she knew that there was no saving the lanky middle-aged man. She and Li Yang were extremely close and loving, but that didn't mean that they did everything that the other said, they were still their own individuals after all.
If someone attacked her, Li Yang would kill them even if Fang Ying told him not to. If an army attacked her, the general that gave the order had to die no matter what, the rest of the soldiers could be spared if she spoke up. Due to this, the two had even fought a few times in the past, Fang Ying insisting on protecting someone while Li Yang insisted on killing them.
Zhao Feng casually sauntered in after Fang Ying stopped Li Yang, shaking his head slightly. The moment he saw them unleash their bolts he knew that things would be unable to end peacefully, that was just how Li Yang was. A somewhat chubby person took a slightly trembling step forward after Li Yang was stopped, placing his fists together in what seemed to be a salute as he gave a fractional bow.
”We are the 71st Scouting Legion of the Silver Army working for the Earth-Rendering Deity. We mistook you for Deathcloud Warriors and mistakenly attacked, and we do apologize for that. But I hope you understand that we are forced to report this to our superiors, so I hope that you can give us your names.”
The man spoke politely, but it wasn't hard to see that he was trying to use the name of their organization to intimidate Li Yang and the others. Sadly, he never imagined that Li Yang and the others wouldn't know who he was talking about, neither would he ever expect Li Yang to be the type of person that he was. The moment the chubby man spoke, Li Yang's hand flashed forward and heavily slapped his face, knocking out almost half of his teeth.
”I don't like being threatened, so I suggest you watch your words real carefully. This'll be simple, we ask, you answer, nothing more. Every useless word you spot will result in another slap, I'd like to see your teeth handle another slap.”
