123: Chapter 123 The Masterful Kick That Could Cut Off a Child's Line

Shortly after Su Ling left the Fengxue Pavilion, he sensed that someone was tailing him!

Moreover, having walked less than a hundred meters from the Fengxue Pavilion, two people dressed in gray-blue clothes, one in front and one behind, blocked his path.

The two wore the same style of clothing, with a blue Ice Flame emblem on their chests.

"Kid, where do you think you're going? You dare to snatch our things; has no one taught you the rules?"

The two Spirit Masters, one in front and one behind, revealed their spirit rings and Spirits as they spoke.

One was a seven-ringed Spirit Saint, wielding a large blade Spirit about 1.6 meters long; its attribute was surprisingly also ice.

The other was a six-ringed Spirit Emperor, whose Spirit was an ice-attributed snake.

In these cities of the Extreme North, over seventy percent are ice-attributed, and less than twenty percent are water-attributed; other attributes are very rare, basically consisting of outsider Spirit Masters like Su Ling.

Su Ling said: "What is the meaning of this? I recall that Fengxue City has rules; fighting is not allowed here, right?"

"This is inside Fengxue City, where Spirit Masters are forbidden from fighting each other. What do you intend to do? I purchased it through the proper procedures; could it be that you intend to rob me in broad daylight?"

Su Ling said this deliberately, just wanting to tease these two Spirit Masters.

"Haha!"

"You kid really must be new to the Extreme North. You don't even understand the rules here. Let me tell you, otherwise you won't even know who you offended when you die!"

"Listen carefully. In this Extreme North, there are four great Sects that stand above the three cities, and our Ice Flame Sect Master, Ice Flame Douluo, is the second-ranked powerhouse among the four. Here, the rules of our Ice Flame Sect are greater than the rules of Fengxue City."

In fact, Su Ling already knew this from the map information he bought at the Fengxue Pavilion.

In the Extreme North, besides the three cities, there were four great Sects, and the Ice Flame Sect was one of them.

Each of the four great Sects had a unique geomantic treasure land to build their Sect.

Many of these treasure lands were natural places to Cultivate, much like the mimetic training environments established by major academies on the continent.

Generally, large Sects are not willing to build within major cities; they all have their own territories.

Su Ling said: "The Ice Flame Sect, huh! So what do you want?"

"Naturally, it's to have you come with us." The blade-wielding Spirit Saint spoke, and both men took a few steps forward, closing the distance to Su Ling to less than three meters.

In their eyes, Su Ling was an outsider; although he was currently using the thousand illusion mask, he looked to be around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

How strong could someone be at this age?

Being able to become a Spirit King would already be impressive; a Spirit Emperor was simply impossible, so these two assumed they had Su Ling in the bag.

Su Ling said: "Then what if I don't go with you?"

"Not going? Then don't blame us for being impolite." The Spirit Emperor with the Ice Snake Spirit said.

"You're courting death!"

After speaking, the Spirit Emperor with the Ice Snake Spirit activated his Spirit possession, clenched his fists, and prepared to strike Su Ling.

"Old Snake, don't use too much force. If you kill him, we won't be able to answer to the Young Lord."

"Dao Liu, rest assured, I know my limits."

Right there on the street, they brazenly made their move.

At this moment, many onlookers had gathered, but they only dared to watch from afar, and no one dared to come forward and say a word.

"Uncle, is there no one in Fengxue City who can stop them?"

"Binger, it's this kid who didn't follow the rules; I have no way to help, and besides, he has offended the grandson whom Ice Flame Douluo dotes on the most." Bing Yuluo said helplessly.

On the balcony of the Fengxue Pavilion, Shui Binger, Bing Yuluo, and Bing Yuhuang were watching the standoff between Su Ling and the two Spirit Masters below.

After all, tonight was the Fengxue Pavilion's rare monthly auction, so Bing Yuluo had brought Shui Binger along to broaden her horizons.

Shui Binger looked at Su Ling below, then thought of the corpse of the woman carried out when they passed by that room earlier, and she felt very uncomfortable.

But now, a Spirit Saint and a Spirit Emperor were dealing with this young man; she really wanted to intervene, but she had just taken the Ice Lotus Snow Ginseng Pill given by Bing Yuluo to Breakthrough to level fifty, and hadn't had time to seek her fifth spirit ring.

Bing Yuhuang also said: "Binger, this is the cruelty of the Spirit Master's world. Only when you have strength can you have a voice."

Bing Yuluo also nodded and said: "Yes, my sister is right. Don't look at the fact that our three great Families established Fengxue City; in reality, most of our annual profits have to be handed over to the four great Sects of the Extreme North."

Speaking of this, Bing Yuluo was also very helpless.

"Uncle, are the three great Families of Fengxue City combined not even equal to one Sect?" Shui Binger asked with a puzzled look.

"Binger, that is indeed true. Take the Ice Flame Sect for example; they have Ice Flame Douluo, a ninety-five-level Titled Douluo, four Spirit Douluo under his command, and the number of Spirit Saints exceeds twenty."

"And what about us?"

"Currently, among the three great Families, only I and your mother's father are Spirit Douluo, and our Soul Power is only at level eighty-four."

"As for the other two great Families, three years ago they originally had three Spirit Douluo, but unfortunately, after going to the Ice and Snow Forest once, they never returned."

"Now, the three great Families combined only have one Spirit Douluo and thirteen Spirit Saints; even if it were the weakest Sect, we combined wouldn't match them."

While they were speaking, they heard a loud bang.

Bing Yuluo, who had been explaining, turned his head to look.

"How is this possible?"

At this moment, the body of the Ice Snake Spirit Emperor had already flown dozens of meters away, with a bloody hole in his chest.

"Mother, this young man is so powerful; he actually killed a Spirit Emperor with one punch." Shui Binger exclaimed.

The scene was in an uproar; who could have imagined that a young man who looked less than thirty years old could kill a Spirit Emperor with one punch?

The Spirit Saint with the large blade Spirit was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Old Snake... You!"

"Damn it, even if I get punished by the Young Lord for not bringing him back alive, I must avenge Old Snake."

After speaking, he raised his long blade, his spirit rings lit up, and frost condensed on the blade in his hand.

"Frost Slash!"

He slashed at Su Ling; the long blade turned into an ice blade at least twenty meters long.

Su Ling whispered: "It's not even forty meters?"

He moved, and with a boom, the long blade struck the ground, forcefully splitting the road open.

But looking back at where the attack hit, the young man's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is he?"

At this moment, many people saw Su Ling's figure, but no one warned him; it seemed that at this moment, everyone wanted to watch this Spirit Saint with the large blade Spirit be killed by Su Ling.

And as most people wished, Su Ling threw another punch.

"You... how..." The Spirit Saint with the large blade Spirit just sensed it, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

This time, Su Ling not only used the Eight Desolations Fist, but also the sixth form of the Eight Desolations Fist.

In terms of Su Ling's own strength, dealing with this Spirit Saint was quite easy.

But to achieve a one-hit kill like this, he still had to double his strength.

With a bang, Su Ling's fist struck, Soul Power condensed and erupted, piercing through his body.

Although the opponent had reacted and shifted his position, whether it was the chest or slightly to the side, once a fist-sized bloody hole was punched through, there was no chance of survival.

[Ding... Shui Binger's favorability +5, obtained white treasure chest *3, purple treasure chest *1]

This actually surprised Su Ling. After the System notification, Su Ling looked left and right, but didn't see Shui Binger's figure.

They must have seen what happened just now and gained a good impression of him, which is why the favorability increased.

Meanwhile, in Bing Yuluo's room, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Who else could it be but the young man from that room.

The young man was wearing only a robe, exposing his chest, with messy clothes, looking very debauched.

"I said earlier that I saw two beauties; so they were here?"

"Bing Yuluo, who are these two? With such good-looking ones, why did you arrange such an ugly one for me?"

It was indeed as he said; the woman who was previously in the private room with him simply couldn't compare to Shui Binger and Bing Yuhuang before him.

"Young Sect Leader Yan, I am truly sorry. This is my sister Bing Yuhuang, and this is my niece; please, give me some Face." Bing Yuluo said respectfully.

Although she was also a level seventy-two Spirit Saint, she really dared not offend this grandson of Ice Flame Douluo before her.

"Pah! What kind of joke are you making? Since when do you have a sister? Don't think I don't know. Also, what Face do you have in front of me?"

"Hurry up and let them both come serve me. If they serve well, I won't hold you accountable for the auction today. Otherwise, I will definitely inform my grandfather, and don't even think about keeping this Fengxue Pavilion open."

"You..." Bing Yuluo frowned, thinking of various ways to refuse him.

They dared not offend the Ice Flame Sect.

Once, this Young Sect Leader Yan took a fancy to a woman from a Family that had a Spirit Saint-level Spirit Master and ordered them to send her over. As a result, the Family let the woman escape the Extreme North.

What was the result? That small Family was exterminated.

That woman was also tracked down by the Ice Flame Sect; the final outcome goes without saying.

Moreover, according to rumors, the four great Sects seemed to have already wanted to annex and divide up all the forces of their three great cities.

If she didn't agree today, a crisis of extermination might come, and Fengxue City would also fall into crisis.

Now, it was difficult for Bing Yuhuang and Shui Binger to leave or stay.

At this moment, Bing Yuhuang's body was already exuding Killing Intent, and even Shui Binger seemed to want to take action to teach this Young Sect Leader Yan a lesson.

What to do?

What to do?

Suddenly, Bing Yuluo looked at Su Ling outside the window, who had not yet left and was collecting the spoils of war.

Got it. Bing Yuluo thought quickly and said: "Young Sect Leader Yan, look outside; your two Guards were killed by that young man."

"How... how is this possible..."

"Don't even think about lying to me."

"It's true. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself. How would I dare to lie to you?" Bing Yuluo said. Deflecting the conflict to resolve the crisis—this was the solution he had come up with.

The young man surnamed Yan walked to the window, half-believing and half-doubting. After taking a look, his Face instantly darkened. "Damn it, to think he actually killed my Guards. I'll remember you for this."

After speaking, he turned around to look at the three people including Bing Yuluo, his expression completely indifferent. "It's just two dead Guards. Dead is dead."

"Bing Yuluo, let's get back to what I said earlier. I'm going to the lounge. You have half an hour to bring them to me, otherwise, you know the consequences."

"You... why don't you..."

"You must be wondering why I'm not going out there, right?" the Young Sect Master Yan said.

Bing Yuluo nodded.

The Young Sect Master Yan smiled. "Although I am usually arrogant and domineering, I know who I can't afford to offend. I am just a Spirit King who has just reached level fifty-one. A Spirit Saint and a Spirit Emperor were easily killed by him; what use would it be for me to go? To seek death?"

It's not scary if a thug knows how to fight; it's scary if a thug is educated.

This statement left Bing Yuluo shocked.

"Remember, you have half an hour to bring them over. Also, if anything happens to me in your Fengxue Pavilion, you should know the consequences."

"Additionally, hurry up and order your men to notify the Ice Flame Sect. Have at least a Spirit Douluo-level expert come to handle this."

After saying this, he closed the door, leaving a bewildered Bing Yuluo behind.

After a while, Bing Yuluo whispered, "Now I understand why Ice Flame Douluo dotes on Yan Yi so much. At twenty-five years old, with level fifty-one Soul Power, he not only has talent but also a brain."

At this moment, Bing Yuluo felt like a deflated ball, completely manipulated by him.

"Sister, Binger, don't worry. I'll have someone notify Father right now. With him here, this kid won't dare to make a move."

"Also, I need to get someone to stall this kid until the Yan Family arrives," Bing Yuluo said.

"Uncle, how... how can you harm him?" Shui Binger said with an unhappy expression.

"Binger, your uncle has no other choice. You have to understand... *sigh*..."

After saying this, Bing Yuluo sighed and left the room.

"Mom, how could Uncle do this? Isn't this harming him?" At this moment, Shui Binger wished she could jump down immediately to warn the young man downstairs.

The young man didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, which made her even more anxious.

Bing Yuhuang said, "Binger, don't worry. Your uncle has his reasons for doing this."

"But Uncle shouldn't harm others!" Shui Binger said.

"Binger, your uncle is actually gambling. He's betting that this young man can continue to kill people from the Ice Flame Sect, thereby diverting the Ice Flame Sect's attention so that we can be freed."

"But what if he can't beat them?" Shui Binger asked.

Bing Yushuang said, "If he can't win, your uncle should have a backup plan. Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you."

At this point, Shui Binger fell silent.

She looked down at Su Ling, who was still there.

No, I have to warn him to leave as soon as possible!

The kindness in Shui Binger's heart still couldn't bear to see someone else get hurt. In her view, what did diverting attention matter?

Perhaps in the end, they would still have to fight to the death with them, so it would be better to help this young man escape first.

Just as Shui Binger was thinking of a way, Su Ling below actually pulled out a chair and sat down, shouting loudly, "Tell the Ice Flame Douluo to get out here! How dare he set his sights on me!"

Su Ling's shout startled everyone.

"What... what is he thinking? He actually dares to challenge the Ice Flame Douluo."

"Isn't that just seeking death?"

"Finally someone dares to challenge the Ice Flame Douluo. He was able to instantly kill a Spirit Saint; perhaps he really does have the strength to fight the Ice Flame Douluo."

Shui Binger had originally intended to warn Su Ling, but how could she warn him now? It seemed unnecessary!

"Binger, your worries are unnecessary," Bing Yuhuang said with a smile.

"Perhaps, but why does he look somewhat familiar to me?" Shui Binger said, though when she tried to recall the Spirit Masters she had met in her memory, she had no impression of him.

At least, this was the first time she had seen this Face today, yet there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, though she couldn't quite put her finger on who it was.

He... could he be Su Ling!

But how could Su Ling come to the Extreme North?

Besides, during the Spirit Master competition, Su Ling was only a Spirit Emperor. Is he challenging a Titled Douluo?

While Shui Binger was constantly speculating, Yan Yi in the lounge also received the news.

The young man outside wanted to challenge his grandfather, the Ice Flame Douluo.

"Could it be that I've really kicked an iron plate this time?"

"No, I must be careful. This might be someone specifically targeting our Ice Flame Sect."

"Could the other three Sects be behind this?"

At this point, Yan Yi stood up and left the lounge, saying to Bing Yuluo outside, "Manager Bing, arrange a few Spirit Masters to escort me out through the back door of Fengxue Pavilion!"

"Young Sect Master Yan, why are you leaving so soon?" Bing Yuluo asked.

Yan Yi said, "If I don't leave, are you going to hand over your sister and niece to me?"

"Fine, I'll arrange it immediately," Bing Yuluo said.

With Yan Yi leaving, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was fortunate there was a fearless hot-headed youth who dared to challenge the Ice Flame Douluo.

"No, I must hurry and get my sister and Binger to leave! What if that Yan Yi comes back?" Bing Yuluo rushed back.

Meanwhile, although Su Ling had his eyes closed, resting in the chair, he had already released his Mental Energy to search for the young man from Box No. 1.

Before this, in order to find Shui Binger, Su Ling had scanned the surroundings with his Mental Energy. After finding her, he had also overheard a portion of their conversation.

To avoid putting Shui Binger and the others in a difficult position, that was why Su Ling had shouted so loudly just now, challenging the Ice Flame Douluo.

"Oh? Still want to leave?"

Thinking of this, Su Ling suddenly stood up.

This sudden movement made the people who were hanging around watching the excitement all look at him.

Su Ling moved, leaping up into the air to a height of thirty meters.

Then, looking ahead, he said, "Did I give you permission to leave?"

With a flash, he used Teleportation to appear directly in front of Yan Yi, whispering, "So, you're the one who wants to kill me?"

Su Ling raised his hand and placed it on him, injecting Soul Power to Seal the opponent's Soul Power.

"No... you've misunderstood. I... I just had them invite you over; I didn't mean to kill you. It must be a misunderstanding," Yan Yi said.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I know," Su Ling said, then looked at the few guarding Spirit Masters and said, "If you don't want to die, you can follow."

These Spirit Masters had also seen Su Ling kill a Spirit Saint. This was someone who dared to challenge a level 95 Ice Flame Douluo; how could they dare to make a move now?

Before long, Su Ling brought Yan Yi to the plaza not far in front of Fengxue Pavilion and continued sitting on the chair, while Yan Yi was tied up beside him.

Everyone recognized Yan Yi's identity and was amazed by Su Ling's actions.

[Ding... Shui Binger's favorability +4, obtained white treasure chest *2, yellow treasure chest *1]

The System's voice rang out. Su Ling smiled slightly. Based on the information he had overheard earlier, they all despised this Yan Yi; after all, this guy's demands were simply outrageous.

The more Su Ling thought about it, the angrier he became. After all, he hadn't even eaten yet, and this guy wanted to... He then kicked him directly, hearing two loud bangs, as if something had exploded.

"Ah..."

"You... you actually... Grandfather will definitely kill you."

Intense pain washed over him, causing Yan Yi to roll on the ground in agony.

Su Ling said, "This is the retribution you deserve."

Whew... that was a perfectly placed kick. My crotch-kicking technique is getting more and more perfected.

In the attic of Fengxue Pavilion, Shui Binger laughed and whispered, "Serves you right!"

[Ding... Shui Binger's favorability +2, obtained white treasure chest *1]

Su Ling smiled. This was the best opportunity to reset Shui Binger's favorability.

"Just you wait, you'd better be able to defeat my grandfather, otherwise I will definitely pay you back a hundredfold, a thousandfold," Yan Yi said, gritting his teeth on the ground. A pool of blood was already spreading on the ground beneath him. Even though he was injured, he was still unconvinced.

Su Ling said, "You might not have that chance. Perhaps your grandfather will be lying on the ground just like you, maybe even worse off than you are now."

"Whew, I'm a bit hungry!"

"That Luoxue Hotel or whatever, bring me a table of food," Su Ling shouted from afar.

To be honest, these people really didn't want to have any contact with Su Ling. In case Su Ling was defeated later, they would be implicated too.

But who would dare to offend Su Ling now? After all, the memory of Su Ling instantly killing a Spirit Saint and a Spirit Emperor with two punches was still fresh in their minds. They could only obediently do as they were told.

Thus, half an hour later, a table of dishes was placed beside Su Ling, with a stove underneath to keep the food warm.

"Not bad! The food is actually quite good."

While eating, Su Ling waited.

After all, the Ice Flame Sect was about fifty kilometers away from Fengxue City, so the round-trip time was enough for him to fill his stomach.

"I originally wanted to increase Bing Yuhuang's favorability, but who would have thought that even this would be censored. It's truly helpless. I won't be increasing Bing Yuhuang's favorability anymore!"
