115: The Clash of Ice and Thunder

Western Military Airport.

The morning mist had not yet dispersed, and the roar of the transport plane's engine tore through the silence.

The cabin door slowly opened, and Xiao Yuwei's graceful figure appeared at the top of the gangway.

A well-tailored black suit outlined her breathtaking curves.

Black long boots stepped on the metal ladder, making a crisp sound.

Lin Qianqian stood at the front of the welcoming party.

When the other party's cold and emotionless gaze swept down from above, she couldn't help but shiver.

It was as if her entire being had been completely seen through.

"The Commander of the Western Military Region..."

Xiao Yuwei's voice was devoid of emotion, so soft it was like she was talking to herself, yet it made all the officers present unconsciously hold their breath.

"Turns out it's just a small second-order Martial Master."

She slowly walked down the gangway, her leather-gloved hand gently brushing the handrail, leaving behind fine ice crystals wherever she touched.

"No wonder the six Martial Alliance Families jointly protested."

Lin Qianqian's knuckles turned white, and the muscles under her military uniform instantly tensed.

But Xiao Yuwei had already shifted her gaze, completely ignoring the welcoming crowd.

As she brushed past Lin Qianqian, she suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Even if the Lei Family doesn't intervene, the West will be flattened by Yao Beasts sooner or later."

"You!" Lin Qianqian suddenly looked up.

"Hm?" Xiao Yuwei casually tilted her head, giving a perfunctory glance.

"Boom!"

An invisible Mental Energy pressure erupted like a tsunami!

The expressions of the welcoming officers instantly froze.

Several Martial Masters who had been secretly glancing at Xiao Yuwei's figure grunted, blood seeping from their nostrils, and staggered backward.

Lin Qianqian's pupils constricted, her entire body rigid, her mind a blank.

Suddenly, a golden lightning bolt split the stagnant air!

"Executive Xiao has quite the Divine Might."

Su Lei's figure appeared in the shadow of the terminal building at some point.

He walked slowly, and with each step he took, the frost on the ground receded a bit.

When he fully stepped into the morning light, Xiao Yuwei's pressure had been completely neutralized.

Xiao Yuwei's delicate brows trembled almost imperceptibly.

She hadn't expected Su Lei to dare show himself openly, nor had she expected him to be in such surprisingly good condition, showing no signs of injury.

"How dare you appear here so brazenly? Aren't you afraid of the Lei Family..."

She spoke in a cold voice, but her breath hitched and she fell silent the moment her eyes met Su Lei's.

Deep within those profound eyes, golden lightning flickered.

Xiao Yuwei instinctively wanted to avert her gaze.

She took a deep breath, the contempt in her eyes vanishing, replaced by a serious scrutiny.

Su Lei also looked her up and down.

This woman was not old, appearing to be in her early twenties.

Her pure face carried an aloofness that kept people at a distance, and her devilish figure beneath the federal official's uniform was enough to ignite any man's desire for conquest.

But her arrogant attitude, even carrying a hint of a challenge, made him displeased.

Su Lei suddenly curved his lips, his gaze deliberately lingering on her proud figure.

"What? Never seen a man before?"

Xiao Yuwei's expression instantly turned cold.

The air seemed to be sucked out in an instant, and the chill around them suddenly intensified, even her breath condensing into tiny ice crystals.

"Whoosh—"

A light blue Protective Aura suddenly condensed in her palm, instantly transforming into an Ice Phoenix about to take flight.

The moment its wings spread, the temperature of the entire airport plummeted by twenty degrees!

"Crack—Crack—"

The ground was covered in thick frost at a visible speed, and the metal equipment on the tarmac emitted an unbearable "creaking" and twisting sound, as if it would be crushed by the extreme cold in the next second.

Even more terrifying was the Mental Energy impact contained within it—

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dozens of surrounding officers simultaneously knelt, their eyes rolling back, blood spilling from their mouths and noses.

A Martial Master's tablet computer fell to the ground.

The screen still displayed Xiao Yuwei's 3D combat power assessment data, with frantic red warnings flashing—"SSS-level threat! Immediate evacuation recommended!"

Su Lei's pupils constricted.

"Clang—!"

The moment the Kaitian Blade was unsheathed, all the star marrow patterns on the blade lit up!

"Boom!!!"

A bizarre scene of distorted space appeared between the two—

Half was an extreme cold Domain that froze everything, with ice crystals suspended like blades, reflecting dazzling cold light;

Half was a lightning Hell that tore through the air, with golden electric arcs wildly jumping, scorching the air with a burnt smell.

The concrete ground at the center of the collision cracked inch by inch, and gravel ( gravel) eerily floated in mid-air, as if gravity had failed there.

Three seconds later, the storm subsided.

Xiao Yuwei nodded slightly, her voice still cold, but with a hint of acknowledgment.

"You have some skill."

"You are qualified to speak with me."

Her snow-white neck arched like a swan, the curve of her slightly raised chin carrying an innate arrogance.

"Tell me, where are the Lei Family people?"

Her slender fingers, encased in leather gloves, gently tapped her arm.

The rhythm was unhurried, yet it conveyed an undeniable sense of pressure.

Su Lei chuckled, "Why should I tell you?"

"Crack—!"

The ice layer within three meters of Xiao Yuwei's feet suddenly cracked, and bone-chilling cold Qi erupted from the spiderweb-like fissures.

"It's been a long time... since anyone dared to speak to me like that."

She suddenly took a step forward, the crisp sound of her high-heeled military boots crushing the ice particularly jarring in the silent airport.

"Listen, I can easily stand by and watch you be crushed to dust by the Lei Family."

Su Lei's expression remained unchanged, looking directly at the beautiful face close at hand, a playful curve on his lips.

"After the Lei Family deals with me, who will be their next target?"

"When the Western Theater Command completely falls into the hands of the Lei Family, your Xiao Family's situation probably won't be good either, right?"

Xiao Yuwei's pupils constricted almost imperceptibly.

Su Lei suddenly lowered his voice,

"As far as I know, you once withstood Lei Mietian's ten moves without defeat, and he immediately withdrew and showed goodwill."

"Later, the Lei Family proposed marriage, but you publicly refused..."

"Shut up!"

"Boom—!"

An ice-blue Protective Aura burst from around Xiao Yuwei, instantly turning the tarmac within a hundred meters into an ice field!

Her chest heaved violently, her breathing slightly rapid, clearly having been hit where it hurt.

Su Lei's guess was correct.

—Although she refused to become the Lei Family's eldest son's fiancée,

if the Lei Family's power were to expand further, with Lei Mietian's vengeful nature, she would sooner or later pay the price.

At that time, could the Xiao Family... still remain uninvolved?

Xiao Yuwei possessed the extremely rare Profound Yin Physique from birth.

This Physique not only allowed her to make rapid progress in martial arts but also enabled her to comprehend the use of Mental Energy without a teacher.

From the age of five, her Family spent a huge price to find her an S-rank martial art—"Nine Revolutions Profound Ice Art."

To maintain the purity of her Profound Yin Physique, she was still a virgin to this day.

Not to mention having intimate contact with other men, she hadn't even had her hand touched.

—Ice Phoenix Xiao Yuwei, has always been a goddess to be admired from afar, high above all others.

After a full three seconds of silence, she took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

She gently raised a jade finger, tucking a stray strand of silvery-white hair behind her ear, her movements elegant and cold.

"To be honest with you, my main purpose in coming here is to curb the Lei Family's momentum."

"If you are smart, you will cooperate with me honestly."

"Tell me all the information you know, honestly, without missing a single word."

Su Lei sheathed his blade and sneered.

"You've got one thing wrong."

"It's you assisting me, not me assisting you."
