Chapter 41: Estes!
On this day, it is not only worth talking about the people of the imperial capital about the Dumin Martial Arts Conference, but also another thing. A well-known inn in the lower town was suddenly turned into an iceberg, and it is unclear whether this was the innkeeper's marketing method or if something really went wrong
In the absence of an obvious threat, something unusual can always arouse curiosity. As time passed, more and more onlookers gathered around the hotel without knowing the truth
It's just that unlike the people around him who came around with the mentality of watching the excitement, Will who was mixed in the crowd looked crazy. As soon as he saw this iceberg that appeared out of thin air, he knew that it must be his own captain who did it inside. It's just that Estes is fighting inside, and in case it reaches the innocent people around him, he will definitely be the one to blame in the end. Moreover, as an imperial soldier, it is not his style to sit back and watch the people hurt and do nothing on their own
Will's gaze swept over the crowd of onlookers, there were people from all walks of life, but he didn't find the soldiers of the Imperial Capital Garrison. If the soldiers of the garrison were allowed to disperse the crowd on the pretext of arresting the thief, it would be fine. The Hunters are secret police and have no visibility among the populace. If it were an ordinary policeman who came to speak, many people would believe it, but if suddenly a person dressed no different from an ordinary brother ran up to you and said, I am a secret agent who is performing special official duties here and has nothing to do with it and left, it is estimated that few people will believe it
"I don't know what kind of enemy it is," Will solemnly clenched the hilt of his sword at his waist. He knew very well the strength of Estes, except for General Bude, no one in the empire dared to confidently say how many moves he could survive in front of her, let alone retreat after fighting her. Ten minutes had passed since the captain entered the inn. The temperature of the iceberg is getting colder and colder, and Estes shows no signs of stopping
The only possibility is that the enemy has not been defeated yet!
Will asked himself if he would never be able to hold out for ten minutes in the hands of Estes, and the enemy in the inn was far stronger than him. Thinking that such a powerful enemy was by his side and could attack at any time, he couldn't help but leave a drop of cold sweat, but as soon as this cold sweat fell to the ground, it turned into ice slag
The appearance of the iceberg caused the temperature around to drop rapidly, and some people who wore less clothes could not stand the low temperature and sneezed, and many people began to find that the iceberg was still growing, which could not help but cause concern among the neighbors near the hotel---- what if this unknown and dangerous iceberg swallowed up their houses. Just now, a guy couldn't help but touch the ice with his hand in curiosity, and the price was that his entire arm was frostbitten, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, I'm afraid it wasn't just one arm that would have gone wrong
At this time, the interior of the inn, the counters, the tables and chairs, the walls, all the objects were covered with a thick layer of frost, crystal clear. The entire inn looked as if it had been carved out of ice, and some of the glass bottles scattered on the ground burst open because they couldn't stand the sudden low temperature. Compared to the outside, the temperature inside is already lower than in the polar regions, and if people who are not wearing any protection suddenly walk into the room, they will inevitably have to worry about their lives
Qiu Chen's fingers clamped the lower part of the goblet, and with just a slight movement, the goblet turned into pieces, and the low temperature made the things here look like antiques that had gone through countless years, and any movement could make them turn into powder like antiques that instantly oxidized when they came into contact with oxygen. If it weren't for the ice that held the planks and load-bearing beams in place, the house would have collapsed with just a stomp of Estes or Autumn Dust
But what does the low temperature mean to the Death Knight, and it is not the cold ice coffin of the Lich King, it is still too naïve to want to rely on the low temperature to freeze the autumn dust
"That's good, this kind of strength" Qiuchen crossed his hands together and sighed, and after the white mist entered the air, it instantly condensed into ice slag and fell to the ground. He pinched his waist with one hand, and with the other hand stretched out his finger and pointed at the blue-haired girl, "Tell me who you are before you start, reincarnation, your strength is also considered to be a strong among high-level reincarnations, but your approach of directly hitting the door really makes me uncomfortable, I thought you had always been the one who would not take the initiative to come out of the lair without being killed at the door, it seems that you are an exception"
"Reincarnation~Oh~" The blue-haired girl shook her arm, "I'm Estes, not the group of rats under the minister, I didn't expect you to know about them, I really want to know more and more, who are you, maybe I can test the latest torture techniques on you, I hope you don't die halfway"
"Uh... I'm still grateful for your interest......" Before Qiuchen finished speaking, Estes raised his leg and kicked it, directly taking Qiuchen's forehead, so fast that there was almost only an afterimage, and Qiuchen's vision almost didn't even react
Seeing this, Qiu Chen subconsciously took a step back, crossed his left and right arms and raised it to block her attack, only to hear a snap, and the ice under Qiu Chen's feet couldn't withstand the impact and cracked. Seizing the gap between the attacks, he took the opportunity to ask, "What did you mean by Minister Ornest?" Those guys are at the mercy of the minister? ”
Estes's cold voice sounded in Qiuchen's ears: "The weak are not qualified to ask!" ”
"Ha~ whatever you think!" Qiuchen exerted force with both hands, and pushed upwards with all his strength to break away from Estes's suppression. In terms of strength, Estes's strength is no worse than that of ordinary Heroic Spirits, and it is hard to imagine that with the so-called Imperial Tools, ordinary people who have been trained can reach the same level as Heroic Spirits
Flipping backwards with her strength, Estes's other arm swung out from the bottom up, and halfway through the swing, an ice-condensed sword instantly appeared in her empty hand
Seeing Estes's defenseless attack, Qiu Chen also did not dodge or dodge, and swung the Ash Messenger to slash at her forearm
Touch---
The ice armor formed by Frozen Tenacity blocked the enemy's slash, and ice also appeared around Estes's body, crashing into the blade of the Ember Bringer. To Qiu Chen's surprise, the sword blade, which had been invincible before, had not been able to smash the ice shield condensed by Estes
"Heh~ You are really the emperor who killed the fashion" Seeing the frost on Qiu Chen's body, Estes stomped his foot excitedly, and several ice spikes rose from under Qiu Chen's feet. forced him to keep retreating, "Little mouse, see where else you can hide!" ”
Qiuchen dodged the ground thorns that kept appearing under his feet while probing the situation around him. A few steps back he was about to crash into the wall behind him, and there were no ice spikes on the road behind him, it was obvious that the tactic of encircling three without one was trying to make him retreat behind him, maybe there was some backhand waiting for him
Or rather...... Another way
A backflip jumps behind the counter behind him, which is facing the doorway where Estes is, and Autumn Dust lifts his leg to kick the counter away, and the crumbling wood chips fly towards Estes with the ice slag
Whoosh―
With the sound of breaking the air, three sword qi condensed into ice blades slashed the wreckage of the counter into four sections in midair. Before the sawdust fell, Estes rushed over with a sword in one hand and a long sword formed by ice cubes in the other
Seeing this, Qiu Chen rushed towards Estes, and the distance of a few meters was crossed in less than half a second, and at the same time, the frost runes on the sword body lit up, and a cross slash drawn by annihilation sealed the path of Estes's advance, if she didn't parry and continued to move forward, the chandelier that had turned into particles after being swept in by annihilation was definitely her next fate
Estes didn't retreat, his toes were on the ground, he turned over to dodge Qiu Chen's attack, his palms were opposite to each other, and in an instant, the ice cubes around Qiu Chen's side rolled up like waves, and at the same time, the ice cubes on the ceiling fell like raindrops, completely blocking Qiu Chen's way to avoid from the air, just in the blink of an eye, the rolled up ice cubes wrapped his whole person
After landing on the ground, Estes snapped his fingers, and dozens of ice spikes appeared out of thin air, instantly stabbing the ice ball wrapped in autumn dust into a hedgehog
For a while, the dust settled
Exhaling, Estes walked to the puck and clapped her hands, as if to clean the dust off her hands, although she was almost spotless all the time, and the other hand stretched out her fingers to sweep the ice spikes on the surface, and the feeling from the ice spikes told her that there was indeed a person inside, "It's a pity, I was still thinking about how to torture you, but you are weak, so you have to die here, if only you could play a little more fun"
There was no reaction in the hockey puck, and Estes flicked his long hair in boredom and turned to walk towards the door of the hotel. In the battle just now, the ice curtain at the entrance was shaken out of a lot of cracks, but there should be no onlookers who were injured. Although even if there are innocent casualties, the minister can solve all the problems for her. But there is a swarm of annoying flies buzzing in my ears all day long, and I can't shoot them to death, which is very bad
Casualty reports are always uncomfortable...... It's obviously a weakling, so why don't you hide behind it. Will was very satisfied that he didn't rush in just now, otherwise he would have to think about protecting his subordinates in the battle, and the distracted battle would not be enjoyable at all
Thinking about it, Estes rubbed her shoulders, and suddenly, as she was about to walk to the door of the inn, the silent puck shook slightly. Seeing this, she turned her head abruptly and raised her hand, and more ice spikes floated around.
It is impossible for anyone to survive such a dense attack, and she is sure that there are people in the puck, but she is definitely not wrong about the tremor just now, but even the humanoid emperor should be injured to the core under the crushing attack, and there is no way to survive
Click---
The sound of the ice cracking sounded again, and with a wave of his hand, the ice spikes in mid-air turned into machetes, slicing the ice ball into pieces along with everything inside like chopping melons and vegetables. Ice slag splattered, but Estes kept his eyes fixed on the puck under the machete until the puck was chopped into tiny pieces and scattered on the ground
Walking forward, Estes stretched out her high heels and scratched through the ice chips, revealing some black shards inside, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this
Delusion......
But before she could turn away, a hand suddenly reached out from the ground covered in ice slag and grabbed her outstretched foot. Then, in her surprised eyes, Qiuchen poked her head out proudly
"I finally caught you..."Qiu Chen wiped the scum from his mouth with his other thumb and took a sip, "If I hadn't reacted quickly, and the Ash Messenger was sharp enough for me to dig a hole in the ground before your attack came, I'm afraid I'd be in some trouble."
Under that kind of attack, if you don't want to return to Valhalla, I'm afraid you have to use the power of the black light virus, but now the virus is not stable, and it is easier to deal with Liva, but under the high-intensity battle, Qiu Chen's control of the black light virus will drop significantly, and if the virus accidentally infects the people outside, Qiu Chen may be like Angola. Newman made up for it by working for Gaia for free
Indefinite part-time work without leave or pay...... It's scary to think about!
"I was thinking about whether you would open the puck and check it, so I deliberately threw a brainless ghoul in, who knew that you would go straight away" Qiuchen snorted lightly, looking at Estes who was about to burst with anger, he raised his hand, and the dark blue cold wind was hovering in his palm, "By the way, the explanation just now is not that I'm talking nonsense......"
"You!"
"I'm just trying to drag on time~"
With that, Qiu Chen's palm slammed into the ground
Wind Impact!
A violent storm erupted and raged through the inn. Not a single thing in the entire inn escaped being swept into it by a cold storm and then torn apart by the wind. The ice slag on the ground and the wood chips from the collapse of the wooden buildings mingled in the whirlwind, cutting deep scratches like knives at the places where the hurricane blew them. The iceberg covering the surface of the inn finally could not withstand the strong impact inside, and began to split from the top. Many ice cubes fell from a height of several meters, causing a burst of exclamations from the crowd of onlookers, who quickly fled from the vicinity of the iceberg, and no one wanted to be crushed to death by fist-sized ice cubes. The scene was chaotic, and if it weren't for Will who opened the imperial tool to evacuate the crowd, it was inevitable that there would be no stampede
The hurricane was tightly controlled by the autumn dust within the small area of the hotel, which caused the wind pressure in the hotel to continue to rise, and the ice mixed in with the wind blocked the view, and the surrounding area was blue and white. This made Qiuchen and Estes not notice, and a light purple circle on the ground was slowly emerging
At this time, on the roof not far from the pride of the lion king, a white-haired young man in a cloak was smiling at the inn that was about to collapse, and his outstretched hand was holding a round instrument that looked very precise
"Father is really smart, and he solved two problems at once...... Well, then, it's time for the hounds to go out......"
