Chapter 333 - Breaking Through the Ice
Sure enough, the three golden eagles swooped down to protect Luoxue when the two warriors had just moved.
Seeing that Feng Ni’er didn’t really want to kill Luoxue, Ning Ye and Zhuo Bufan both chose to wait and see what would happen. After all, as long as Feng Ni’er didn’t hurt anyone, they had no right to interfere.
Although the golden eagles had been modified and their bodies were far superior to others of their kind, their intelligence was not high. Seeing that they were going to hurt Luoxue, they naturally charged down without further thought and fell right into the two warriors’ trap.
The two Feng family warriors used trickery against the pure-hearted. The three golden eagles were heavily injured when they had just swooped down. For a moment, blood sprayed in all directions, feathers whirled chaotically, and screams tore through the air.
If their genes had not been modified so that their vitality was very powerful, they would have been killed by the two warriors. In an instant, the three golden eagles were covered with blood and bone-deep wounds could be seen all over their bodies.
But when they saw that the two warriors were going to kill Luoxue, they continued to retaliate fearlessly, doing their best to protect her safety.
“Go, go!”
Tears streamed down Luoxue’s face and she screamed until her voice was hoarse. Unfortunately, the golden eagles were Ding Ning’s pets and were not controlled by Luoxue. They only knew that their master had ordered them to protect Luoxue. Even to the death, they would not see Luoxue fall into danger.
“Such loyal golden eagles, what a pity.”
Of the people standing by and watching this tragic scene, someone could not help but speak lowly with emotion.
“Yeah, who exactly is this girl, to be able to inspire such loyalty in the golden eagles? Ah, it’s just that... animals are still animals in the end. If they flew away, the young lady of the Feng family would not dare to kill their master. What a pity.”
Someone to the side was feeling deeply regretful.
“Alright, stop talking. The young lady of the Feng family is not someone we can afford to offend.”
Someone afraid of offending Feng Ni’er warned in a low voice.
“Relying on the power of the Feng family to excessively bully, why should I be afraid to talk about it? I feel that the golden eagles and the little girl are so pitiful. So unfortunate.”
Someone was dissatisfied and blurt out but the voice was consciously much lower.
“Shh, don’t create trouble for yourself. In the secular world, there is the Bureau of Religious affairs regulating affairs and in the ancient martial world, there are powerful warriors to be respected. If we are targeted by the Feng family, they can crush us as easily as an ant.”
A timid voice gave a serious warning.
“Do you think such a thing is rare? As an ancient warrior, you must have this kind of awareness. What fairness is there in this world? Whoever has the stronger fist is the boss.”
...
Everyone whispered among themselves but they spoke the truth of the ancient martial world. Without the laws of the secular world, it was a primal world where the fittest survived.
This was the reason why many casual practitioners willingly stayed within the secular world and were not willing to enter the ancient martial world. After all, there were protections for one’s life here. In the ancient martial world, one could accidentally offend another and die a terrible death.
“You will receive your just punishment.”
Ding Luoxue cried, heartbroken. And she cursed at Feng Ni’er with bloodshot eyes.
For the first time in her life, this kindhearted girl hated someone this much. The hatred etched into her beautiful eyes and the clear whip mark on her face made her appear terrifying and ferocious. It made Feng Ni’er feel a trace of fear.
Feng Ni’er felt a chill in her heart and inexplicably felt that Luoxue would become a great threat to her. Killing intent flashed through her eyes. If not for all these people watching, she would have immediately killed Luoxue.
Although she couldn’t do anything openly, that doesn’t stop her from acting in the shadows. She was decided. Once she went back, she would arrange for people to silently get rid of Luoxue. No matter how much the Bureau of Religions suspected her, they couldn’t do anything to her without conclusive evidence.
Air Force Wing No.1 had already been injured and now it had suffered a dozen more hits, even its bones were showing through and it no longer had the strength to fly.
With a thud, it fell to the ground. It looked toward the frozen sea with a trace of reluctance in its eyes and let out a tragic cry. Then it looked sorrowfully toward Luoxue, its eyes filled with guilt.
Seeing that their mother was about to die, determination appeared in the eyes of the two small golden eagles. They raised their wings and flew high. Glancing with yearning at the sea, they let out a sorrowful screech that contained a powerful sense of death.
They were going to fight one last time. Even if they die, they were going to leave marks on the two warriors’ bodies so that they could not harm Luoxue, because this was their master’s command.
“Goddamn, so troublesome, let’s see how lively you’ll still be.”
A warrior of the Feng family sprinkled some medicine on the flesh ripped off by the golden eagles to stop the bleeding and swore ruthlessly.
The long whip shook in his hand and snapped ruthlessly toward Air Force Wing No.1. He was a warrior in the Earth Martial Arts Realm but yet he had been injured by a beast, which made him feel very humiliated. He decided not to immediately kill Air Force Wing No.1, instead, he would torture it and have it die helpless.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The warrior continuously whipped Air Force Wing No.1. Each time the whip came down, feathers and blood flew in all directions yet none of them was a fatal strike. Air Force Wing No.1 twitched and writhed in pain, screaming time and time again.
Many people could not bear to keep watching this cruel scene. Ning Ye’s face grew grim and he said in a low voice, “If you want to kill it, then kill it. Why torture an animal?”
“I want to, what are you going to do about it?”
The warrior glanced at him dismissively.
“You...”
Ning Ye’s eyes narrowed and a powerful force rose. As he was about to take action to teach this arrogant guy, who didn’t know what was good for him, a lesson, something suddenly happened.
Crack! Crack!
The frozen surface of the sea suddenly shook violently as if a giant creature beneath the sea was breaking out through the ice.
Ning Ye and the Feng family warrior both unconsciously stopped their movements and abruptly looked toward the sea.
A trace of greed flashed through Ju Zhu, ice Demon, Gui Sou and the other people’s eyes. They stared at the sea intently. Was the treasure about to appear?
The two desperate golden eagles suddenly let out bright cries. Their voices carried boundless grief and excitement.
Luoxue wiped at her tear-stained face and a surprised smile appeared on her face. She clenched her fists tightly. Brother was finally coming out.
Bang!
It was as if a powerful earthquake struck the entire island. A towering wave broke through the ice and a shadowy figure followed the wave and shot into the sky. A dragon-like roar came from its mouth.
Following the roar, the ice on the sea suddenly shattered. The boats anchored around the ice had already experienced one tsunami-like wave. As the huge waves came one after another without end, the sailors all cried out in fright.
“How come it’s a person? Where’s the treasure?”
Ice Demon’s pupil constricted tightly and he asked in disbelief.
Gui Sou took a deep breath. “That person must have obtained the treasure.”
“Godd*mn, kill him and take the treasure.”
Ju Zhu looked at the tall and imposing figure and jealousy flashed through his eyes. He hated people who were more handsome than him, taller than him, and who came out more dramatically.
Shwoo!
Ding Ning stepped out of the air and appeared beside Luoxue as if he had teleported. The smile in his eyes suddenly froze when he saw the dying Air Force Wing No.1 and the whip mark on Luoxue’s face.
Luoxue’s tears ran down her face and she cried out with grievance. “Brother, they’re so wicked. They killed Air Force Wing No.1.”
“Don’t worry, I’m here. No.1 won’t die. Tell me, who whipped you?”
Ding Ning closed his eyes and gently stroked the injury on Luoxue’s face. He took a deep breath and did his best to calm his voice but his suppressed anger was like a ready-to-erupt volcano. It drew a dark fog over the atmosphere of the deserted island.
When Ning Ye saw Ding Ning, his mouth opened in surprise. He seemed very surprised to see him here. Moving silently, he retreated backward and himself among the crowd.
A bright light flashed through Zhuo Bufan’s eyes. Wasn’t this young man Ding Ning? How could it be? Wasn’t he a doctor?
As the deputy director of the Bureau of Religions, he had previously paid some attention to the online celebrity Ding Ning but he had not expected that the little doctor was actually also a warrior.
However, he could not tell if he was an Ancient Warrior or one of the modern times.
The air seemed to be frozen. Ding Ning emanated viciousness from his entire body and everyone felt that it was difficult to breathe.
Long Xiaotian furrowed his brows tightly and stared at Ding Ning. He found that he was actually afraid. He was afraid of Ding Ning. No one would believe it if they knew, but it was happening right in front of his eyes.
“That’s them? They wanted to kill me. Air Force Wings got hurt trying to protect me.”
For the first time, Ding Ning saw a deep-seated hatred in kindhearted Luoxue’s eyes. This made his heart hurt. He picked up Luoxue’s hands guiltily and solemnly said, in a soft voice, “Wait, I will get you your revenge.”
When he turned to look at the two warriors of the Feng family, there was no longer any humanity left in Ding Ning’s cold eyes. As if he were a god passing judgment on the ants on the ground. “End the matter yourselves.”
“Who do you think you are? End ourselves? What a joke. Do you know who I am? I am the Feng family’s...”
Feng Ni’er was angry that she, the young lady of the Feng family, had been stunned into silence by Ding Ning. Angry and humiliated, she pointed at Ding Ning and shouted loudly.
“So noisy!”
Ding Ning only raised his brows lightly and muttered impatiently. His figure flickered and the two warriors of the Feng family were already lying on the ground and screaming. Their screams did not sound human.
Coincidentally, the two of them lay right next to Air Force Wing No.1 and the sight seemed very ironic. The screams did not last very long, in just a dozen seconds or so, the abruptly stopped.
It was not until now that everyone abruptly realized that all the bones of the two Feng family guards in Earth Martial Arts Realm had completely shattered and they had turned into a puddle of goo.
“You, you dare to kill the Feng family...”
Slap!
Before Feng Ni’er had finished uttering her disbelief, Ding Ning had moved like a ghost and slapped her across the face. This slap sent her flying out and she fell heavily on the ground.
“I don’t give a damn whether it’s the dragon or phoenix family. If you dare to hurt my sister, I have only one word for you. Die.”
At this point, Ding Ning did not know what the mark on Luoxue’s face had been left by Feng Ni’er. Otherwise, he would not have been so merciful.
Even if god dared to hurt Luoxue, he would poke a hole in the sky. This was his bottom line, his weak spot, and all those who touched it would immediately die.
Everyone drew in a breath of cold air. This guy was too wild—he sent the young lady of the Feng family flying without a single word.
“What an arrogant tone of voice. You think so little of the Long family, how brave!”
When he had seen Ding Ning, Blood Demon had been afraid but he then heard Ding Ning accidentally say something that disregarded the Long family. This immediately gave him the idea to pull Long Xiaotian, who had remained aloof from everything, down into the mess. So he spoke provoking without hesitation.
Long Xiaotian’s expression was very ugly. No matter what, Feng Ni’er was his fiancee in name and Ding Ning also spoke dishonorably about the Long family. As the heir of the Long family, if he did not stand out and protect the dignity of his family, the Long family would inevitably become the laughing stock of the ancient martial world.
Even if he knew that Blood Demon was purposely riling him up, he had no choice but to stand up. As he stepped forward and was about to say something, Ding Ning turned and stared at Blood Demon. “Was that you talking bullsh*t just now?”
“You...”
No matter what, Blood Demon was a powerful figure on the Jianghu. How could he endure Ding Ning’s humiliation? As he was about to react, he saw Ding Ning’s cold and emotionless gaze. His heart immediately trembled and his face grew red. All of his courage dissipated and his mouth moved but no sound came out.
