"Too late for regrets!"
The short, stout man roared. A Thunderbolt flashed beneath his feet, and with a single shudder, he appeared before Ye Shuangshuang! A terrifying tearing force gathered around his fist as it plummeted down, aimed straight for Ye Shuangshuang’s chest!!
Danger flooded her senses! Mu Bingling reacted instantly, condensing all of her Primordial Power to form a defense in front of Ye Shuangshuang. A massive, thick wall of ice materialized from thin air, shielding Ye Shuangshuang! However, Mu Bingling didn’t linger after creating the barrier. With a light tap of her foot, her black-clad figure rose gracefully like a phantom, as light as a Spirit Butterfly, pulling Ye Shuangshuang several hundred meters away.
’She knew that a Sect Realm ice wall couldn’t possibly stop the short, stout man for a second. She had only summoned it to buy a single moment of time!’
"You dare try such a petty trick!"
Just as she’d predicted, the short, stout man’s lips curled in contempt. He threw a punch! With immeasurable force and destructive power, it instantly shattered the thick ice wall and slammed into the spot where Mu Bingling and Ye Shuangshuang had just been.
"Thunder Surge!"
"BOOM!!!"
It was like a massive thunderclap striking the earth! Countless bolts of shimmering silver Thunder erupted from the ground, instantly radiating outward with the short, stout man at their center! Streaks of Thunder Serpents moved like the Death God reaping souls, obliterating everything in their path. The trees were turned to ash in the blink of an eye, and even the perpetually dense fog was thinned by the violent electrical onslaught!
Droplets of fresh, red blood sprayed from Mu Bingling’s lips. Hundreds of meters was not a safe distance. Even though Mu Bingling had been prepared, she couldn’t avoid being hit by that ferociously aggressive Powerful Qi!
"Sister Bingling!!"
Ye Shuangshuang cried out in alarm. Though her face was deathly pale, she hadn’t been seriously injured. When Mu Bingling had pulled her away, she had instinctively shielded Ye Shuangshuang with her own body.
"I’m fine..."
Mu Bingling frowned, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, her expression grim. ’Emperor Realm Fifth Ring... A single punch, and I’m already injured. If that attack had hit Ye Shuangshuang directly, she would have undoubtedly died.’
"Sister Bingling, what do we do?" Ye Shuangshuang felt utterly helpless for the first time. "If only Brother Mu Chen were here..."
’If Chen’Er were here...’
Her train of thought halted, and Mu Bingling’s heart quivered. ’When did we start relying on Chen’Er so much? When did we start feeling unsafe without him around? When did we become such burdens to that lean figure?’
A bitter smile touched her lips. In that moment, more than ever before, Mu Bingling wanted to become strong! Stronger!
Clenching her fair, delicate hands, Mu Bingling lifted her head to face the short, stout man and the tall, thin man as they drew closer, her expression completely devoid of fear!
"Heh heh... An Ice Beauty. A true Ice Beauty! What a shame... If you hadn’t said those words, I might have let you go! But like I said, it’s too late!"
The short, stout man put on a regretful expression, but a bloodthirsty red light flashed in his eyes. His fist, wreathed in lightning, unleashed another Thunder Surge. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Mu Bingling!!!
"BOOM!!!"
He showed no intention of holding back. The assessment rules stipulated that killing new students was absolutely forbidden except as a last resort. Severe violators would not only be expelled from Holy Tomb Mountain but could even be hunted by them, implicating their entire family! Thus, in all the years of the new student assessment, those who dared to kill were truly one in ten thousand.
But these two brothers were different. They had no family. They had no fear. Anyone who dared to insult them would be hunted down and killed, no matter the distance!!
