Chapter 227 -> Treasure and beauty
The fact that made Ye Feng spit blood was quite obvious.
The military's cruise missile had arrived too quickly and also suddenly hit the iceberg. Consequently, the iceberg started vibrating violently and a crack appeared all the way from the shore to its central platform.
Although this iceberg was a by-product of the sudden eruption of the mysterious ice's second anger, however, its strength was far less than the earlier ice city fortress. This was the reason why the entire iceberg suddenly rumbled and split into two halves after getting hit by the ferocious cruise missile!
The cost of construction of each one of the missiles ran into millions, so naturally, their might would be extraordinary!
Due to the violent vibration of the iceberg, Long Mo'ran somewhat lost his balance and his body could not help but sway; he took two steps and then almost fell down. Originally, Ye Feng's sword was supposed to pierce Long Mo'ran's heart, but again it missed it by half an inch!
The pain that was felt by Long Mo'ran made him suddenly respond and then he realized that again his heart had been pierced by a sword, and this mere thought made him break into cold sweat.
Actually just a moment ago, he saw Ye Feng rushing towards the middle where the mysterious ice was, but then in a blink of an eye, he was already right behind him and wielded his sword to stab him.
Was it really teleportation?
Long Mo'ran simply could not believe that if it were not for the military that happened to fire a cruise missile at the right time, then he would have been certainly dead by now and heading over to the yellow springs. But now, this thought really made him extremely rejoiced and he thought that it seemed like he was a protagonist in a novel since he had been always surviving the calamity…
(Note: In Chinese mythology, yellow springs refer to the underworld)
Then according to this reasoning, could he really continue to have some sort of blessing afterwards?
"Young man, you can't leave!"
When Xu Xiaoyu noticed that Ye Feng flickered and in an instant appeared right behind Long Mo'ran, he couldn't help but feel very scared. If just now, Ye Feng had decided to make him the target of his sneak attack instead of Long Mo'ran, then he wouldn't have been able to evade this sword for sure!
This thought made him feel a slight chill in his heart. This kid was too strange; so in case he let him off and allow him to grow further…would not he eventually rule over the entire martial arts world?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, he immediately decided that he would kill Ye Feng right here right now!
He did not think much and immediately his both fists rumbled and Paochui Fist was condensed. It was actually the result of eighty years of Cultivation, which piercing through the air, quickly advanced towards Ye Feng one after another.
Ye Feng's sword had just pierced the enemy, so he was completely unable to move. As a result, he was suddenly hit at the center of his chest which made him flew backwards and crashed into an icicle.
The whole iceberg vibrated violently!
From the crack at the centre, the iceberg was already broken into two halves and now had also started sinking towards both sides.
The people on the iceberg suddenly froze as they saw that the ice crystal containing Su Feiying and the thousand years mysterious ice were slowly moving to slip into the sea and that also in two different directions towards their respective sides!
At this instant, without further ado, Ye Feng simply stood up and leapt at the inclined surface of the iceberg and swept towards Su Feiying's ice crystal.
Xu Xiaoyu's cultivation was quite profound but his hasty punching attacks were not strong enough to kill Ye Feng. Ye Feng spit out blood in order to ease his injury and then got ready to continue fighting!
As long as anyone tried to grab his master, he was all ready to risk his life to kill the opposite party!
However, after using the Soul Search technique, he found something strange.
Now it became clear to him that Long Mo'ran and Xu Xiaoyu, both of them were more interested in the mysterious ice.
If they had to choose between Su Feiying and the mysterious ice, then they would invariably choose the latter!
Almost at the same time, Long Mo'ran, Xu Xiaoyu and all other disciples of God Fist Gate rushed towards the mysterious ice before it was lost into the sea.
The iceberg had completely split and water had also rapidly inundated everywhere.
"Long Mo'ran, suffer to death!"
A God Fist Gate disciple, wearing a stern expression on his face, shouted and rushed towards Long Mo'ran.
At this time, not only Long Mo'ran had just one arm to rely on but his chest was also heavily bleeding, therefore he was looking too weak to withstand the attack. This idea of the God Fist Gate disciple was remarkably good, if he were to get rid of Long Mo'ran, the thousand years mysterious would inevitably fall into the hands of God Fist Gate.
Unfortunately, the thought was too beautiful to come true.
"Hmm, get lost."
Long Mo'ran faintly smiled; although his feet almost slipped on the inclined surface of the ice, but without any hesitation, he instantly changed his direction and jumped away.
Wait, didn't he want the mysterious ice?
Everyone from God Fist Gate including Xu Xiaoyu was startled at this sight, but their reaction was too late.
The second missile came from the sky and directly hit the centre of the original iceberg where everyone from God Fist Gate had gathered.
A loud bang burst out!
Suddenly flame rose up to the sky from this blast.
Fragmented pieces of ice flew everywhere like sharp knives. While at this moment, Ye Feng, he had not run far away carrying Su Feiying, was suddenly hit by several of these ice fragments which lodged into his flesh.
Plop!
However, he finally fell into the sea.
Sweeping his Soul Search around, Ye Feng found that in order to evade the missile, Xu Xiaoyu quickly grasped two disciples of God Fist Gate and kept them in front of him as a shield. However, the powerful blast of the missile threw them off the iceberg.
The rest were killed by the flames caused by this explosion, but Xu Xiaoyu, although was covered in dirt, still retained his life.
As for Long Mo'ran, he had already jumped far after sensing the missile beforehand, but just like Ye Feng, he was also jabbed all over by several ice shards. All covered with these injuries, he also finally fell into the sea.
The magnificent iceberg was sinking after being hit by the two successive missiles. While from the sea surface, the flames soared into the sky, causing a lot of confusion all over. However at this moment, the members of NSA along with Tang Clan and Heavenly Sword Palace, all people had earlier escaped on their speedboats and were already two to three kilometers away.
"Dragon Turtle Holding Breath!"
As soon as Ye Feng fell into the sea, he quickly displayed an Immortal Technique while closely holding Su Feiying's ice piece. Then after, his whole body's Zhenqi suddenly shook up and dislodged all the ice shards piercing into his flesh.
Besides letting Long Mo'ran escape his death once again, the two missiles also arrived at the perfect time because once Ye Feng was in the sea, it was completely his world! He did not think much and instantly displayed Holy Cure Technique using his full strength, and the next moment, a golden light twinkled in his hand.
His Zhenqi had almost exhausted; besides his whole body had received various kinds of wounds which were caused by Long Mo'ran and Xu Xiaoyu's attacks along with the ice detritus. But due to the Holy Cure Technique, they all started healing quickly.
Now, he had to look for Long Wan'er first, then after he would return together with Su Feiying.
Under the leadership of Niu Meng, several boats of the NSA started searching the sea. Besides them, there were also many NSA members who dove into the sea wearing diving suits to find people who had not still died and then apprehend them with their special guns.
"Long Mo'ran and Ye Feng especially cannot be allowed to escape, if they are alive then I want to see them and if they're dead then bring their corpses!"
Niu Meng gave the vicious order.
The NSA and the military had surrounded that particular area of the sea, regardless of where Ye Feng would choose to come ashore; he could not evade their blockade.
Niu Meng felt that victory was in his hand, the cruise missiles were simply awesome!
While Thunder when saw from afar the blazing flame on the sea surface and the sinking iceberg, he helplessly shook his head, would it be too difficult for Ye Feng to survive that explosion?
However, his heart still had a modicum of hope.
He thought that before at the time of the explosion in the abandoned factory near Yanjing, Ye Feng not only protected Lin Shiqing by lying on top of her but also surprisingly survived that explosion.
Even quite recently, the explosion of the nuclear-powered submarine could not kill him.
Perhaps, that kid could really create miracles…
What a pity, now he was about to confront such a large scale search of the NSA and the military. Even though after so many injuries he was still alive, but could he escape again this time?
That time at the abandoned factory was the only time he had a chance to catch Ye Feng, but he ran away. Now, there was no one like Li Shiqing around to disturb him, so even if he wanted to run away, he couldn't escape…
