“Help me exterminate a sect?!”
Li Hai asked, confused and surprised, “Isn’t this Mingyue Pavilion a subordinate sect of your Ice Palace? Why would you help me exterminate—”
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Feihong turned her head to Han Qinghong and Zhuang Xuangan, who were not far away, and said:
“Sect Leader Han, Sect Leader Zhuang, after Mingyue Pavilion is exterminated, Zhong XiangSheng’s forces, territory, and interests will be redistributed by you two after discussion.”
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged surprised glances, then slowly nodded.
Seeing their agreement, Xue Feihong turned back to Li Hai and smiled sweetly.
Immediately, her jade-like hand opened, pointing towards the towering architectural complex on Cui Xia Island below, and a pale torrent, purely formed by surging cold Qi, suddenly shot out.
Boom!
As soon as this torrent shot out from Xue Feihong's palm, it instantly traversed thousands of feet at an extremely fast speed.
It accurately struck the very center of Mingyue Pavilion's architecture—a huge crescent-shaped sculpture.
Whoosh! Immediately, a terrifying tide of cold Qi spread out from this crescent sculpture as its center, rapidly covering everything in all directions.
Just like New York City being rapidly frozen by the astonishing cold wave in the American movie 'Acquired', in just a few seconds—
The Mingyue Pavilion's base, which covered an area of hundreds of thousands of acres below them, was entirely frozen by the dream-like cold wave unleashed by Xue Feihong's single palm.
Every building and every living person within those buildings were all coated with a dazzling, piercing pale color.
Then, seeing that the entire Mingyue Pavilion and all its Disciples had been frozen, Xue Feihong in the night sky unhesitatingly brought her sword fingers together, intending to unleash another powerful move to completely shatter all the buildings and living beings of this sect.
And just then, Li Hai spoke up to stop her: “Wait!”
“Hmm?” Xue Feihong’s delicate body paused, then she turned to look at Li Hai, smiling brightly, “What is it? Does Feihong need to do something?”
“No—” Li Hai felt a bit unnerved. He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and say, “I have a peculiar habit; I like killing people, especially Innate Legend.
“Oh, what a coincidence!”
Xue Feihong clapped her hands and smiled, “Feihong also likes killing people, and she likes killing Innate Legend even more. But Feihong now likes you… the people you let me kill.”
Listening to and watching the extremely strange conversation and interaction between the two, Han Qinghong and Zhuang Xuangan, who were not far away, had unreadable expressions, as if they wanted to smile but didn't, a sort of half-smile.
“—In any case,” Li Hai said indifferently, “I want to do it myself and kill all the Innate Legend level Elders in Mingyue Pavilion.”
“Is that so?” Xue Feihong looked at Li Hai and smiled, “That's perfect. The people of Mingyue Pavilion were only frozen by Feihong and are not dead. With just a slight move, you can shatter and kill them all.”
“Hmm~ I understand.”
Li Hai nodded slightly, then drew his steel whip and aimed it downwards, suddenly lashing out with tens of thousands of crimson Sword Qi, like a meteor shower descending from the sky, crashing towards all the buildings of Mingyue Pavilion with a whooshing sound.
Thus, in just one second, the entire Mingyue Pavilion and all the Disciples within it were shattered and disintegrated into large patches of icy powder and dust under the piercing, torrential Sword Qi that covered the sky and moon.
At this point, Mingyue Pavilion was completely annihilated.
At the same time, Li Hai's number of Strongest Fragments jumped from thirty to thirty-two.
Clearly, there were two Mingyue Pavilion Martial Dao Grandmaster who died under Li Hai's Sword Qi attack.
After completing this, Li Hai nodded to Xue Feihong and the Han and Zhuang behind her, then flew towards the Qilin in the high sky.
“Wait a moment!”
Just then, Xue Feihong loudly called out to him.
“Hmm?” Li Hai turned his head in confusion to look at her, “Is there something?”
Xue Feihong stared at him intently and asked with a smile, “You haven't told me your name yet?”
Li Hai's sword-like brows furrowed slightly, and he said indifferently, “My name is Li Hai, Li as in 'powerful', Hai as in 'appalling'.”
Pfft~
Han Qinghong couldn't hold back a half-laugh, and Zhuang Xuangan beside him quickly slapped him on the back.
“Sorry, sorry.”
Seeing Li Hai and Xue Feihong's gazes turn towards him, Han Qinghong quickly waved his hand and said, “I suddenly thought of a Disciple of mine who had a son with two buttcheeks, he's just too miserable, so I couldn't hold it in for a moment. It's nothing, it's nothing, you two continue talking, continue talking.”
“Li~ Hai~”
Xue Feihong turned her head back to Li Hai, smiled gently, “That name is truly wonderful. Can Feihong call you—Li Hai from now on?”
Pfft! Pfft!
This time, Han Qinghong and Zhuang Xuangan behind them both couldn't hold back and let out half-laughs.
But then, without waiting for Li Hai and Xue Feihong to look over, they turned away on their own and started chatting about various random things.
“Just call me by my given name.” Li Hai looked at Xue Feihong with a dark expression and said coldly, “I still have things to do. We'll meet again.”
With that, he was about to leave.
But as expected, Xue Feihong called out to him again:
“Li Hai, wait a moment! I have something to say to you!”
“Sigh~” Li Hai sighed helplessly, then retorted to the smiling Xue Feihong, “I don't want to get involved in any of your damn romance. If you want to be infatuated, go find someone else, don't bother me!”
“Eh?” Xue Feihong was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly again, “Li Hai, how did you know Feihong is interested in you? Then are you interested in Feihong—”
“I'm not an idiot.” Li Hai frowned and interrupted, “You're too obvious. In any case, I'm not interested in women. Don't come looking for me again.”
After saying this, Li Hai no longer paid attention to how Xue Feihong called him and swiftly flew towards the Qilin.
At the same time, Xue Feihong immediately saw Feifei, who had emerged from the Qilin to greet Li Hai, several thousand feet above.
She was instantly stunned, then her delicate brows furrowed as she mumbled, “How come there's another woman? Is she Li Hai's sister? Lover? Friend? Or subordinate?”
As she spoke, a strong Killing Intent flashed in Xue Feihong's eyes.
“No one can lay a hand on what I want.”
As she said this, her tone actually treated Li Hai as an object, rather than a living person.
At this moment, Han Qinghong and Zhuang Xuangan, seeing that Li Hai had already left, slowly flew to Xue Feihong's side.
“Envoy Xue,” Han Qinghong said indifferently, “This Peak Legend named Li Hai seems to be rather impolite to you.”
After speaking, he added, “No, not impolite, but too impolite.”
“It's good to be impolite,” Xue Feihong said with an indifferent smile, “Politeness means distance, impoliteness means closeness. Li Hai is truly authentic.”
“Hmm~ Envoy Xue, there is one thing I don't understand.”
Han Qinghong frowned and said, “You are interested in this Li Hai because of his exceptionally outstanding appearance, aren't you? If that's all, then forgive my bluntness, but you might be a bit shallow. Time flies, and no matter how beautiful a face is, there will come a time when it ages and decays. Your status is different, so you still need to be—extremely cautious.”
