Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sharp icicles pierced against his flame gale, all of which he blocked and even melted into vapor. With a push of his body, he shot towards the Ice Tiger amidst a sky filled with icicles—
Boom!
Xiang Beifei's fist smashed into the Ice Tiger's head. The beast hadn't had time to react and was cracked all over by his Rapid Flame punch.
Spiritual Power rushed through the cracks of the Ice Tiger and ignited. The whole creature burst into flames.
With a "bang", the enormous Ice Tiger was blown apart by Xiang Beifei's Rapid Flame, shattering into countless ice chunks that scattered throughout the forest.
"Wow, so strong!"
Liu Gui watched Xiang Beifei in shock, not having expected him to kill a fearsome desolate beast with just two punches!
However, Xiang Beifei turned back and stared at Liu Gui, asking, "Are you hiding anything else from me?"
Liu Gui was stunned for a moment. A flash of panic crossed his eyes as he said, "I, I'm not hiding anything from you."
"If you were being chased by this desolate beast, it could have killed you in an instant, yet how are you still alive?"
Xiang Beifei glared at Liu Gui.
This Ice Tiger had the strength of someone in the late stages of Qi-Controlling; just breathing could form various icicles in the air. Liu Gui was a devotee of the literary Dao, and his system had no ability to protect himself. He couldn't possibly have escaped this Ice Tiger's pursuit by simply climbing a tree.
But he had just fallen from a tree and been knocked unconscious; the Ice Tiger hadn't killed him.
"That voice in your mind, what exactly did it tell you to do?" Xiang Beifei said gravely.
Liu Gui, intimidated by Xiang Beifei's presence, backed up to a tree, his face full of panic. He said, "What do you mean? You don't think I brought this Ice Tiger here, do you?"
Xiang Beifei studied Liu Gui's system interface and said, "You don't have the capability, so you'd best tell me what deal you made with who."
All of a sudden, Liu Gui pulled out an ice knife, pointing it at Xiang Beifei, and shouted, "What's with the act! You're in the same situation as me. If you want to leave this place, you have to do the same thing! That voice must have told you too!"
Xiang Beifei frowned and asked, "Told me what?"
"You really don't know? He hasn't told you?"
Liu Gui looked at Xiang Beifei's expression and realized he did not seem to be feigning ignorance. He put down the ice knife anxiously and shook his head, "Sorry for shouting at you. He'll tell you soon. The only way out of here is that method. This place only allows men to survive. I must kill Xiao Yun to make it! You probably have to do the same, to kill your girlfriend."
"You want to kill your own girlfriend?" Xiang Beifei furrowed his brows.
"I don't know, I just ran into He Yun, then they suddenly appeared!"
Lu Zhiwei was pulling along a pale-looking He Yun, who seemed to have many cuts all over, her body covered with mud, looking very bedraggled.
Beifei didn't ask any further because it seemed like more Extreme Ice Tigers were joining the encirclement. Their path of escape was quickly cut off and the four of them were trapped under a huge pine tree.
"Climb the tree! Climb the tree!"
Beifei grabbed Liu Gui and threw him onto the branches above, while Lu Zhiwei brought He Yun up with her. The four of them stood on the tree branches, looking down at the Extreme Ice Tigers gradually closing in from below.
Roar! Roar!
A dense pack of Extreme Ice Tigers surrounded them tight, the situation extremely dire.
"Xiao Yun, you're not hurt, are you?" Liu Gui clutched the branches tightly, adjusted his stance, and glanced down anxiously.
"I'm fine; she saved me." He Yun also clung firmly to the tree trunk.
"Good that you're okay," Liu Gui said eagerly, "hold tight, don't fall."
"The two of you, don't move around, stay put!"
Lu Zhiwei shouted at them while at the same time, four square glass explosion-proof shields appeared in her hand. She waved the shields, enclosing Liu Gui and He Yun within them.
It was her ability, the powerful blast-resistant shields that could withstand attacks from late-stage Qi-Controlling, but with so many Extreme Ice Tigers here, blocking one might still be possible, but they definitely couldn't block so many. Thus, she could only first ensure the two weakest were protected.
"Be careful, Beifei! This can protect you," Lu Zhiwei said as she flung her hand again, and a blast shield appeared on Beifei, flickering in and out of sight, like wrapping him within a protective layer, while a shield also appeared around herself.
Whoosh!
The leading Extreme Ice Tiger leapt high from the ground, lunging ferociously at them. Lu Zhiwei's body ignited with brilliant flames, the pattern of their flow resembling that of Lu Hong's lineage. Her Rapid Flame was also incredibly strong!
Bang!
Her fist, cloaked in flames, struck the underside of the lurching Extreme Ice Tiger's jaw, the colossal force repelling it mid-attack. Another was on the approach, but Beifei dashed forward, booting the incoming Extreme Ice Tiger away.
"Come on, let's work together. Keep an eye out for me; I'm going to give them a taste of their own medicine!"
Lu Zhiwei stood on the branch, her 'Super Police System' interface revealing a long list of powerful firearms—flamethrowers, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, grenades, machine guns... every type of firearm imaginable.
Rattle!
Chapter Find:
She swept her spiritual power across, instantly wrapping around five weapons from the system interface—a machine gun, rocket launcher, submachine gun, shotgun, and even a rocket-propelled crossbow—each weapon floating in mid-air.
