Chapter 9: Cold as Frost—"Ning Hanshuang"!
Lin Feng held Shi Ningmeng in his arms as the Beast Carriage flew through the sky, her body limp with slumber.
Gazing at her delicate face, exquisitely beautiful with a hint of playful charm, a slight smile crept onto Lin Feng's face.
This woman was indeed quite adorable.
And her personality, quite likable as well.
As for the compensation she had offered, Lin Feng didn't take it, and it certainly wasn't because he wanted to show off in front of Shi Ningmeng and capture her affection.
It was because the Holy Medicine, once divided, had to be consumed in a short time, or else its efficacy would quickly diminish.
Lin Feng, unscathed and healthy, had no use for half a dose of Holy Medicine, and that would only destroy it.
Moreover, Lin Feng also possessed Holy Medicine, having two Red Fruits.
He even had an Undying Immortal Medicine, "Nine Dragons Fruit."
This was a Supreme Treasure surpassing Holy Medicine.
Of course, there was another reason.
The words Shi Ningmeng had said came from Lin Feng's heart; he didn't want to watch such a delicate and exquisite beauty perish in such a terrible way.
A man.
Should cherish and protect women.
…
Shi Ningmeng slightly shifted her tender body, wrapping her arms around Lin Feng's waist to find a more comfortable position.
Because of her injuries, she was quite drowsy.
The Beast Carriage continued its swift journey through the mid-air.
Ten days later.
The Beast Carriage stopped in a mountain forest, Shi Ningmeng, after some time of recovery, looked much better.
However, due to the special location of her injuries, she still needed to return home and recuperate for a while to fully heal.
"We should reach Stone City in about three more days," Shi Ningmeng said with some excitement, living to see Stone City again was something she had not even dared to dream of before.
"You will never make it back to Stone City."
At that moment, a sneering voice sounded.
Whish, whish, whish.
Figures swept in from all directions, with a woman at the lead.
The woman was dressed in a snow-white gown, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.
She had a face of stunning beauty, but it was marred by an expression cold as ice.
This icy woman.
Was Ning Hanshuang.
Hundreds of Ning Family cultivators had already thoroughly surrounded the area.
"It's Ning Hanshuang," Shi Ningmeng said with a pale face.
Surrounded by so many, Shi Ningmeng couldn't help feeling desperate, especially since she was still injured.
"Shi Ningmeng, you've proven quite the runner, almost making it back to Stone City. But it all ends today, you cannot escape even with wings," Ning Hanshuang's frosty gaze settle on Shi Ningmeng.
This woman.
Very beautiful.
But far too cold.
Her coldness was the kind that kept people at bay.
"Ning Hanshuang, aren't you afraid of offending the Alchemist Guild?" Shi Ningmeng gritted her teeth and said.
"The Alchemist Guild does not get involved in the disputes of aristocratic families; otherwise, that would violate the principles of the Alchemist Guild. Besides, the Great Force behind Ao Tian Ancient City is no less powerful than the Alchemist Guild. What is there for the Alchemist Guild to fear?" Ning Hanshuang replied coldly.
Lin Feng couldn't help but squint his eyes.
The force behind Ao Tian Ancient City?
What kind of force was it?
This force, it must be related to Dugu Aotian's attack on the Lin Family, right?
Lin Feng's eyes grew colder.
…
"Miss, that's the boy who killed many of our people," a cultivator from the Ning Family said, pointing at Lin Feng.
Ning Hanshuang's gaze turned towards Lin Feng, her eyes flashing with a chilling coldness, "Boy, by killing members of the Ning Family, there is no place in heaven and earth that can save your life. Today, you and Shi Ningmeng will become a pair of doomed mandarin ducks. At least on the Netherworld Road you won't be lonely. Attack."
As Ning Hanshuang's voice fell.
Over thirty cultivators surrounded Lin Feng and Shi Ningmeng.
"Lie on my back."
Lin Feng said.
Shi Ningmeng nodded, wrapping her arms around Lin Feng's neck, her long and straight beautiful legs clamped around Lin Feng's waist as she anxiously looked around.
"Kid, go to hell..."
The Ning Family cultivators all had expressions filled with murderous intent.
One by one, powerful magical treasures were brandished, bombarding Lin Feng and Shi Ningmeng.
"In my heart there is a blade, that can split heaven and earth."
Lin Feng stepped forward, swinging his right hand.
Sky Splitting Slash was unleashed.
Centered on Lin Feng,
The blade's radiance swept across in all directions.
One by one, the powerful magical treasures were shattered by Lin Feng's Sky Splitting Slash.
"Retreat, retreat quickly..."
The Ning Family cultivators called out, their faces pale.
This strike from Lin Feng,
He was too powerful.
Its might could only be described as enigmatic and unpredictable.
The Ning Family cultivators screamed in terror,
Trying to quickly evade.
But they simply couldn't escape Lin Feng's strike.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Sounds of flesh being torn apart rang out.
One after another, the Ning Family cultivators were slain on the spot.
Over thirty cultivators had charged together.
In the end, only a few managed to escape.
"Kid, you're seeking death."
Ning Hanshuang, seeing this scene, immediately shouted in rage.
"Frost Ice Sword."
In her right hand, a chilly light flashed,
And a treasure sword flew out.
The sword emitted waves of destructive energy,
It was actually a "Tao Artifact."
This Ning Hanshuang,
She possessed a Tao Artifact.
This was something Lin Feng hadn't expected.
Ning Hanshuang, holding the Frost Ice Sword, slashed out.
The power of the Tao Artifact was activated, and a thousand-zhang long sword beam coalesced,
Striking down in an instant.
"What an impressive Tao Artifact."
Lin Feng was taken aback.
He also didn't hesitate, drawing out the Black Dragon Sword and also slashing down.
The dazzling sword radiance burst forth.
The two supreme treasures collided.
Lin Feng and Ning Hanshuang were both forced back three steps.
Lin Feng's Black Dragon Sword was actually more formidable than Ning Hanshuang's Frost Ice Sword; it was just that the Black Dragon Sword had only unlocked one seal.
Its full power couldn't be displayed yet, allowing Ning Hanshuang to contend with Lin Feng's Black Dragon Sword with her own.
After that strike, Ning Hanshuang coldly shouted, "Everyone, follow me, kill them!"
Still, nearly a hundred Ning Family cultivators remained, plus Ning Hanshuang; naturally, Lin Feng wasn't afraid for himself, but he was carrying the injured Shi Ningmeng.
One careless moment in the midst of battle, and Shi Ningmeng could be killed.
This was not the time to continue entangling with these people.
Over a hundred people teamed up with Ning Hanshuang to launch an attack.
Lin Feng brought out the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tower was a defensive magical treasure that Lin Feng had obtained from Jun Zihao.
It was a half-finished Dao Artifact.
Its defensive power was extremely astonishing.
The treasure tower hovered above Lin Feng, casting down Seven Treasures Glaze light, protecting him and Shi Ningmeng.
When the dense attacks bombarded them, some were blocked by Lin Feng, while the rest were dissolved by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.
And Lin Feng cut a bloody path through the crowd, quickly rushing towards the direction of Stone City.
"Damn it, chase them..."
Ning Hanshuang gritted her teeth and called out, holding the Tao Artifact Frost Ice Sword, leading over a hundred Ning Family experts to quickly pursue Lin Feng and Shi Ningmeng ahead.
