Because, Ling Ba clearly saw that a black ring appeared on Ming Yu's left hand, and was immediately worn on his right index finger.
Could it be …
In the center of the ring, Ming Yu's entire body was frantically surging with Zhen Qi, gathering towards the black ring. His fingers kept flicking in and out of the ring, forming a seal at an extremely fast speed while chanting an incantation.
In the next moment, a circle of dim red lines appeared around Ming Yu. Accompanying the chant of Ming Yu's chant, the lines became more and more distinct, gradually turning into a golden red color. Following that, every line of the lines started to burn!
In the blink of an eye, a magnificent golden red circular pattern appeared beneath Ming Yu's feet.
Seeing that the blood fists of the six peak Transcending Mortality Stage experts were closing in on him, Ming Yu completed the last seal and suddenly knelt down on one knee. His right hand with the black ring on it pressed down onto the ground!
"Explode!"
All of a sudden, the magnificent tattoo shone with a brilliant light. The surrounding fire elemental energy was instantly absorbed into it, causing a golden-red scarlet flame storm that exploded in a 360 degree radius around it!
Boom!
Powerful blast ripples spread out in all directions. Regardless of whether it was Ling Ba or Lu Yuankong, they all retreated to one side, dodging the attack of the powerful blast ripples.
The flame lasted for a full three to four breaths of time before completely dissipating. Everyone saw that the ground in the center of the explosion was completely undamaged, and even Ming Yu was standing there unharmed.
However, the six experts at the peak of the sixth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage were burnt to a crisp by the intense flames. They laid on the ground powerlessly. They did not even have the time to scream or struggle as their life force had completely vanished.
Lu Yuankong was stunned. The three monks were stunned. Even Ling Ba was stunned.
Only Blackie covered his mouth and chuckled. She was the one who had personally handed the Explosive Fireformation to Ming Yu.
That's right, Ming Yu had just used the Explosive Fire Array. The more true energy the user poured into the array, the more powerful the formation would be.
Just now, Ming Yu had injected two-thirds of her Zhen Qi into her, and had almost activated the power of the Explosive Blazing Formation to its limit.
It was this extremely powerful explosive formation that had ended the lives of these six peak Transcending Mortality Stage experts in an instant!
Of course, the one who was the most shocked was Lu Yuankong.
A few hours ago, he had thought that Ming Yu did not have the ability to deal with those spies within the black market's intelligence store. However, with Ming Yu's strength and powerful array patterns, it was more than enough to deal with those thieves.
Thus, what Ming Yu said might be true. Those people really wanted to kill Ming Yu!
Yet, Lu Yuankong had told Ming Yu to let others off the hook, and now that he thought about it, how laughable was that statement?
He also explained that Yu's killing intent was too strong, but his group of people had only met Ming Yu by chance and she was able to come forward to save them. Ming Yu was clearly an extremely kind-hearted person.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuankong's face turned red.
On the other hand, Ling Ba's expression was already extremely ugly.
Not only did the encirclement that was originally set in motion fail, but all six peak Transcending Mortality Stage experts had been killed by Ming Yu. The Blood Tiger Gang had been reduced to a single commander, Ling Ba.
Ling Ba also did not expect Ming Yu to be so powerful. This Explosive Blazing Formation was already enough to shock Ling Ba. Who knew what other terrifying trump cards this brat would have?
With Lu Yuankong, Ling Ba was not enough to cause fear. However, with Ming Yu's help, Ling Ba no longer had any confidence in continuing to fight. Without any hesitation, he immediately fled into the distance.
The moment Ling Ba moved, Lu Yuankong chased after him. However, Ling Ba used all the strength in his body to run away. He turned his head around and realized that Lu Yuankong could not catch up to him in a short amount of time.
"Trying to run?"
At this moment, Ling Ba suddenly heard a voice from in front of him. Turning his head to look, he discovered that a figure was walking towards him.
It was a handsome man with long hair. He walked over from the snow in the distance. His black suit formed a stark contrast with the white snow. In his hand was a golden halberd!
"Scram." Ling Ba snorted coldly, his fist exploded out like a cannonball.
Unexpectedly, that man actually leaped into the air, and lightly tapped the back of Ling Ba's fist with his toe, and landed in the air above Ling Ba.
"You're courting death!"
However, he only heard a "bang" sound. It was as if the man had actually stepped on a circle of white air waves in the air, as if he had stepped on an invisible wall, and quickly escaped behind Ling Ba.
Ling Ba looked shocked: "How could this …"
Just as he turned around to look, what greeted him was a merciless and sharp halberd. With a "pu" sound, the halberd pierced through Ling Ba's chest, coming out from his back.
A single strike meant certain death!
That man patted Ling Ba's shoulder, and said: "Even if you attempt to kill me, I will not allow you to escape."
Finished speaking, he pushed his palm against Ling Ba's chest, and took a step back to pull out the blood stained halberd. He flung it to the side, and all of the blood splattered onto the snow-white ground.
At that moment, several other figures wearing the same black uniform came from the distance. The middle-aged man in the lead immediately knelt down and said, "Young master, I beg your pardon for my incompetence, but I was a bit late. Please do it yourself."
As he spoke, several people behind the middle-aged man also kneeled on one knee, as if they were trying to atone for their sins.
"There's no need to worry about that. I've already dealt with them."
The long-haired young man waved his hand and said, "Search this corpse carefully. You must find Huo Yuzi. Luo Qi, follow me."
As he spoke, he brought the middle-aged man with him towards Ming Yu's group. His gaze swept across everyone as he cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, I am Han Feng, and this person is my manager, Luo Qi."
To tell you the truth, I am also here for the Fire Yuanzi. When we came earlier, we just happened to see this little brother exchanging blows with the Blood Tiger Gang and I caught him just as he was about to run away. I saw that he wanted to kill him, so I killed him.
Lu Yuankong and the three monks behind him shook their heads. Although they could not kill, their lives had been threatened just now. Ling Ba deserved to die and they would not have any sympathy for him.
"Where is this little brother?" Seeing that Ming Yu did not reply, Han Feng looked in their direction and asked with a smile.
Ming Yu laughed, "Of course I have no objections."
Even though he said this, Ming Yu's heart gradually became colder.
From earlier until now, Han Feng had treated all of them the same. Although this seemed extremely normal, in reality, it was very abnormal.
From an objective point of view, as long as it was a man who wasn't interested in Blackie, he definitely wouldn't be able to help but take a glance at her. Even if he only glanced at her once, his eyes would have a slight change.
Any mortal with an ordinary appearance would definitely greet Han Feng according to the courteous gesture that he displayed. However, Han Feng did not even glance at such an extremely beautiful black lady!
If a person wanted to conceal something, it wasn't because of what that person said. Rather, it was because of that person that he didn't say anything!
Beside him, Lu Yuankong was extremely courteous as he cupped his fists and said, "Little Benefactor Han Feng, thank you for your help. Otherwise, this Ling Ba might have completely escaped today."
"It's fine." Han Feng waved his hand and smiled.
At this moment, a black-clothed subordinate came running over. He lowered his head and cupped his hands, "Young Master Han, we have already thoroughly searched Ling Ba's corpse, we did not find Huo Yuanzi in his storage pouch."
"Hmm?" Han Feng's expression immediately darkened. "Why are you guys doing something? Don't you know to search the other places as well?"
"We've already searched other places, but we haven't found the whereabouts of Fire Yuanzi." The subordinate replied, trembling with fear.
Han Feng pointed at the six charred corpses and the expert from the Blood Tiger Gang who had been knocked out by Lu Yuankong and asked, "Have you searched that area?"
"Yes …" "Yes, your subordinate did not do well, let's go search."
The subordinate fearfully led his men in a search, but the storage pouches and rings on the corpses were all gone through, so there was no sign of the Fire Yuanzi.
"This …"
For a moment, Lu Yuankong and the others were puzzled. Could this news be false? But that's not right either. If Ling Ba did not have Huo Yuanzi, he wouldn't have been able to come to the entrance of the Icy Mountain Range, the Snow White Peak.
Everyone started to search. Su Yuanjing, who had been thrown onto the tree branch by Ming Yu, also rushed over. He did not dare to look at Ming Yu as he began to search with everyone else.
However, after less than an hour, none of them were able to locate Huo Yuanzi. All of them appeared to be extremely dejected.
However, Han Feng still encouraged the crowd. "Forget it. Even if there isn't a Fire Yuanzi, since everyone has travelled thousands of miles to come here, they aren't willing to just disperse, right?"
"I've made second hand preparations before, and this method might be able to withstand the extreme cold. It'll only be a poor effect if you persevere on Sheng Hanfeng for a while longer, if you all don't mind, then go ahead and use it."
With that, he ordered his men to bring out the two scarlet red jade boxes. He passed them over to Mingyu and Lu Yuan. Opening the boxes, he discovered a layer of blood-red ointment.
"This is Scarlet Fire Ointment, applied to the skin, it can emit a powerful heat and resist the cold. Because of this, when we ascend to the peak, we will have an extra chance." Han Feng explained.
"That's good."
Lu Yuankong cupped his fists and said gratefully, "Thank you, Young Benefactor."
The few monks behind him were also very happy. They thought that they wouldn't be able to reach the top without outside help, but they didn't expect Han Feng to provide them with a solution.
Han Feng did not enjoy it for himself. Instead, he told the method to everyone. He was truly a generous person.
However, Ming Yu remained silent. He had been pondering this for the last hour, and only now did he suddenly realize that the mysterious Fire Yuanzi was actually with Han Feng!
