"Now, you really can't escape!"
Zhu Xinjue smiled triumphantly.
Xiang Beifei had always been disappearing and reappearing, making it impossible for him to strike his opponent. Therefore, he resorted to an extreme method, freezing the world along with the air.
Once the air was frozen, Xiang Beifei would struggle to move in this world, and killing him would be like slaughtering a lamb that was immobilized!
He had frozen the world, but he himself could move freely without being confined by it, which was the best way to counter Xiang Beifei's abilities.
But Xiang Beifei had already vanished; he had disappeared into the blizzard.
Zhu Xinjue stared at the spot where Xiang Beifei had just stood. There, a thick layer of frost had formed. Zhu Xinjue moved leisurely through the ice, the frozen area parting to let him pass wherever he went.
"You are no match for me."
Zhu Xinjue sneered coldly.
He didn't see Xiang Beifei or feel his presence, but he knew the last position in which Xiang Beifei had appeared after he unleashed "Frozen World."
Even if Xiang Beifei could turn invisible, he couldn't move anymore and would only be frozen there!
Just then, a flame suddenly burst out from the frozen trees on the left, flickering weakly within the ice, as though trying to melt the cold ice in front of it, immediately catching Zhu Xinjue's attention.
"Are you hiding here?"
Zhu Xinjue mocked, "Your pitiful flame can't melt my ice! Because this is my world!"
Zhu Xinjue changed direction and walked towards the flame, but just then, a whistling sound rushed swiftly from behind Zhu Xinjue!
The whistling was incredibly rapid; Zhu Xinjue was focused on the flame ahead and neglected the protection behind him. His protective ice armor didn't cover his head in time.
Bang!
Zhu Xinjue felt a tremendous force strike the back of his head, stunning him instantly!
His head seared with pain, brutally enduring the blow, nearly knocking him unconscious, but as a master of Meridian Opening, he wasn't taken down by a single punch.
Though he managed to stay conscious, he was somewhat disoriented, and at that moment, fists enveloped in Rapid Flame bombarded him from all directions!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Hong had just been dragged into a canyon world. His cultivation was mid-stage Meridian Opening. Zhu Xinjue wasn't confident in killing Lu Hong, so he had just detained him.
But soon, Lu Hong had broken the blockade of that canyon world with his stronger cultivation, returned to reality, and discovered Lu Zhiwei and Liu Gui in the forest.
He had been worried about Xiang Beifei, and seeing him flicker in and out of sight in the forest had surprised him greatly.
He called out Xiang Beifei's name, but Xiang Beifei, busy dealing with Zhu Xinjue, had no time to respond. To avoid risking interference, he didn't dare disturb Xiang Beifei, only following his movements, and once both Xiang Beifei and Zhu Xinjue fell back to the real world, he rushed over.
Xiang Beifei thought for a moment, then broke both of Zhu Xinjue's legs and arms before saying, "I'm okay. He's all yours now. This is the Highway Cruiser killer."
Since Uncle Lu had arrived, he didn't go all out. After all, Uncle Lu was a law enforcement officer and needed to act according to Jiuzhou's laws. Killing someone in front of Uncle Lu wasn't quite appropriate.
He was only here today to earn a bounty. With the criminal captured, the bounty was his; the rest wasn't his concern.
Anyway, once this guy was in law enforcement's hands, he basically had no future. Zhu Xinjue had killed many people; his crimes were enough to have him sentenced to death.
"He's the Highway Cruiser killer?"
Lu Hong's expression grew grave, hastening to handcuff Zhu Xinjue while firmly holding him down.
"Yes, be careful. He's an SR-grade Awakener, with the strength of early-stage Meridian Opening," Xiang Beifei cautioned.
"SR early-stage Meridian Opening?"
Lu Hong was stunned, looking incredulously at Xiang Beifei. "And you—"
"He provoked me, and I took him down," Xiang Beifei said.
He rubbed his fist, which was still a bit numb from the frost.
He pulled out a pack of Elder Luo's sunflower seeds from his pocket and began cracking them open. The seeds quickly began replenishing his energy and healing his injuries.
"This..."
Early-stage Meridian Opening!
He had taken him down?
Lu Hong looked at Xiang Beifei, immensely shocked!
The kid had taken down a criminal and still nonchalantly cracked sunflower seeds?
