1038 Key 2 (2/2)

Tch!

Garen's silhouette flashed suddenly. He disappeared from his initial spot quickly after taking a few steps and charged directly towards his opponent.

A distance of more than a dozen meters was shortened into about ten meters in the blink of an eye. The horrifying speed allowed Garen to hear the whooshing noise of wind, and in his eyes, his current enemy's movements had slowed down.

The initially astonished look on the face of the masculine woman slowly changed into fury. She raised her hand to aim it at him accurately. Her movements at this moment were extremely fast, but in Garen's own senses, it was greatly slow-mo.

Garen quickly raised his own as well upon seeing the masculine woman attempting to raise her hand at him.

”Blood Control!”

The invisible strength burst forth suddenly and enveloped the body of the masculine woman immediately despite her being more than ten meters away.

Hiss…

Horrifying drips of water could be heard. The masculine woman staggered two steps backward. Blood began seeping out of her mouth, nose, eyes, and ears but she did not collapse instantly like the black ox from earlier.

She screamed in aghast, as numerous long, black rope-like things exploded throughout the empty spaces in their surroundings. They interlocked with each other and twisted themselves towards Garen as if countless whips were about to strike him at the same time.

”Sure enough, you are probably a Level Four Energy Machinist, because the abilities of the Blood Control could only affect you but not kill you directly.” Garen's mind had roughly determined the effective range of the Blood Control's abilities.

The Scarlet Snow Technique within his body triggered itself suddenly.

As quick as lightning, his finger struck the numerous black ropes lightly.

A series of crackling noises could be heard before the black ropes paused in mid-air; with a loud crashing sound, they broke into frozen pieces and crashed on the ground. Burnt powder leaked out of the cracked pieces. It was clear that if one were to be hit by the black ropes, it would explode instantly, worsening the damage.

However, Garen's skill surpassed his opponent's powers greatly. Naturally, they were rendered useless and froze immediately.

After triggering Grade Ten of the Scarlet Snow Technique, Garen's palm made a thunderous noise before pressing it against the woman's left shoulder.

Bang! The power of the Scarlet Snow Technique surged outwards and suppressed his opponent's intense resisting body strength. The woman attempted to turn around and flee but the frigid chills instantly froze her into an ice sculpture.

She remained in her previous pose of turning around and escaping, but her body was now completely sealed in a transparent block of ice that was tinged with blue.

Garen returned his hands to his side and looked at his creation happily. The trio behind him sighed in relief. The threat had been eliminated but they were now somewhat afraid of Garen because he was able to get rid of the powerhouse Yellow Cloud Demon who was pursuing them in one go. If powers like these were coupled with malicious intent…

”A Level Four Energy Machinist froze her into an ice sculpture instantly. These powers are not bad, but we had no way of seeing the effects of strengthening them.”

Garen looked toward another faraway direction where another silhouette had suddenly appeared in the distance again.

”Give me the Key and I'll have mercy on you instead of killing you!” Echoed a coarse, cold voice.

Still behind Garen, the trio's faces changed drastically as they looked at Garen frantically.

”My Lord!”

Garen smiled and turned around to throw out the heart of the Fire Ox. Simultaneously, the woman threw out a black stone that was glimmering with silver dots of light.

Both of them caught the items at the same time.

”Let's go!”

The trio fled abnormally fast. Clearly, since they were able to protect the Key from so many powerhouses, their running skills were extraordinary as well.

Garen ignored the three, escaped people and looked at the rough, burly fellow who was charging at him rapidly. Level Five Energy Fields coiled and circulated around his body, making it obvious that he was a Level Five Energy Machinist.

”The thirty-seventh Key, give it to me.” This burly fellow had thick black hair throughout his entire body. His voice was rough while his body was big and tall, giving off a fierce and powerful presence.

Most of his face was hidden within his waist-long black hair, showing only a pair of bright, piercing eyes. He glanced at Yellow Cloud Demon, who was frozen beside Garen.

”Scarlet Snow Technique?” He was slightly surprised.

”You know about my Scarlet Snow Technique too?” Garen was also somewhat stunned.

”Of course. Not only do I know about your Scarlet Snow Sect, I know about many other things as well.” The burly fellow laughed. ”Are you a member of Star Plate or Moonshine? Have you really never heard of the renowned Bear War Star?”

”Bear War Star? Blue Frost Sect?!” Garen's face stiffened when he realized that he had encountered a challenging obstacle. His opponent's unknown strength was not an issue, but the fact that he was backed by the Blue Frost Sect made things slightly more troublesome.

Among all of the Energy Machinist Sects, Blue Frost Sect was considered as a middle level, medium-sized sect. One of their slave planet was very close to Scarlet Snow Sect's Planet Scarlet Snow. It was also one of the thirty-six adjoining sects.

He had never expected to encounter one of them here.

Bear War Star laughed loudly for a short while.

”Alright, whether you're a member of Moonshine or Star Plate, your Great Senior Brother Carthage came to visit my Great Senior Sister recently. I've never seen you among the Three-Hearted Disciples so just give me the item. I will not trouble you thanks to your Great Senior Brother's reputation.”

Garen frowned faintly. Looking at how things are now, he realized that the Key was probably real. Therefore, since it was real, why would he let go of it easily after getting it? Impossible!

”What's the matter?” A malicious look appeared on Bear War Star's face. ”Not willing to?”
