Chen Xiao reacted quickly, but found his body stiff and his arms frozen solid. He twisted them forcefully, and they made a cracking sound.
"Hmph! I knew you were a newbie the last time I saw you." The man in the top hat on the left looked at Chen Xiao, whose entire body was covered in a layer of frost—the frost growing thicker and thicker until it formed ice crystals: "Trying to use telekinesis against me? Hmph! Telekinesis can block all tangible matter, but it can't block temperature! Foolish boy, temperature is invisible!"
He gave a cold laugh, his fingers flicking rapidly, releasing bursts of icy air that froze Chen Xiao into an ice statue in just a few breaths. With his entire body encased in a thick layer of ice, Chen Xiao looked like an ice sculpture.
Alice, kneeling on the ground, was already in despair. When she suddenly saw Chen Xiao rush in, a glimmer of hope had returned to her heart. Although Chen Xiao was her enemy, not her friend, this kid was far less terrifying than the two men in top hats.
The man in the top hat on the left froze Chen Xiao with a single move, his expression showing a hint of disdain: "So, all the service company can do now is send out kids?"
Phoenix never showed itself, so the man in the top hat on the left looked down at the yaksha struggling in pain at his feet: "One last chance, yaksha, are you willing?"
Before Yaksha could finish speaking, the man in the top hat on the left suddenly felt a tightening in his hand and turned to look. He saw his companion, the man in the top hat on the right, who suddenly spoke coldly: "Not dead!"
"What?"
"That kid isn't dead!" The man in the top hat on the right had a strange look in his eyes and snorted.
really!
Suddenly, the enormous ice sculpture in front of them emitted a series of crisp cracking sounds. With the naked eye, one could clearly see cracks rapidly spreading across the massive ice layer, the surface covered with countless fine fissures. These cracks continued to expand at an alarming rate.
Finally, bang!!
The ice shattered, and countless shards of ice scattered on the ground. Chen Xiao, like a tiger released from its cage, roared and forcefully burst the ice layer!
After forcefully shaking off the ice, Chen Xiao took a few deep breaths and stared intently at the two guys in front of him.
I was indeed careless just now... After being frozen, even if I didn't freeze to death, I'm afraid I would suffocate.
Fortunately... fortunately, I still had B-rank strength. In desperation, I used pure brute force to break through the ice that was sealing me.
Once Chen Xiao was free, he didn't hesitate for a moment and lunged forward. He was incredibly strong. With a push of his feet, he leaped into the air like a cannonball. He clenched his right fist and landed in mid-air, smashing his fist hard down on the head of the man in the top hat on his left!
The man in the top hat on the left was also startled. He raised his hand and quickly released an ice shield above his head, but Chen Xiao's B-level power shattered the ice shield with a single punch!
Just as the fist was about to smash into the man in the top hat on the left, at that very moment...
The man in the top hat on the right suddenly let out a cold laugh!
"snort!!"
That "humph" sound seemed like a heavy hammer, striking Chen Xiao's heart hard. The feeling was extremely strange and unbearable, almost making him want to vomit blood. His heartbeat suddenly became erratic. While in mid-air, he involuntarily staggered, his movements became somewhat disordered, and he slowed down considerably.
Taking advantage of the moment, the man in the top hat on the left quickly stepped back two steps, still holding the hand of his friend beside him. However, by stepping back two steps, he managed to avoid Chen Xiao's fist...
Click!
Chen Xiao punched the wall behind where the two were standing, creating a deep crater in the brick wall!
The man in the top hat on the left frowned, staring at Chen Xiao: "Huh? Telekinesis plus physical strength? This kid is a dual-elemental ability user?"
The man in the top hat on the right shook his head: "Doesn't seem like it."
The man in the top hat on the left snorted, "Just a kid."
After he finished speaking, a white light appeared in his eyes, and then a strong chill spread out from the spot where he was standing!
In an instant, the temperature seemed to plummet by an unknown amount of time. White frost rapidly appeared on the ground, walls, and overhead, followed by several cracking sounds. Even the aging metal pipes on the walls were frozen and burst under the intense cold!
The sudden, intense chill made Chen Xiao feel as if his movements had become difficult. The sudden surge of cold almost froze his blood, making it hard to breathe. With each breath, his lungs felt a sharp, piercing cold!
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth, barely managed to raise his hand, and forcefully slapped it down at the man in the top hat!
Whoosh!
Two invisible beams of mental energy shot out!
Telekinetic cutting!
At this level, Chen Xiao's telekinetic power can not only manipulate objects, but also create sharp cutting power, even capable of slicing tree trunks in two!
But the man in the top hat merely sneered, and with a flick of his wrist, an ice shield appeared in front of him, blocking Chen Xiao's telekinetic attack. Although the ice shield was broken into several pieces, it successfully blocked Chen Xiao's attack.
Chen Xiao snorted, feeling as if his lungs were about to freeze, and he became unsteady on his feet, swaying slightly. But then he caught sight of the metal pipes on the wall and the iron platforms in this place...
"Explode!"
He uttered those three words forcefully from his throat!
boom!!
Manipulate the explosive bursting of metal molecules!
Under the forceful detonation of the supernatural power, the metal sewer pipes, which had been sealed by frost, and the surrounding iron platforms, suddenly emitted a deafening explosion! The bursting of metal molecules triggered an explosion that instantly shattered the ice!
The flames surged and roared!
As the flames engulfed the two men in top hats, the man who controlled the cold air merely gasped in surprise before swinging his hand in a wide arc, instantly enveloping them in a layer of ice…
This confined space contained numerous metal pipes, and Chen Xiao's current ability to explode metal molecules was just enough to cover the entire area. Although his ability couldn't detonate all the metal, it still caused a considerable explosion.
The firelight instantly dispelled the chill, bringing Chen Xiao a sense of relief. He gasped for breath, staggered back two steps, and leaned against the wall. However, when the firelight faded, the two men in top hats were still standing in the ice!
The ice protecting the two was broken, and the man in the top hat on the left made a strange gesture—he hugged the man in the top hat on the right tightly, like a female beast. He even turned his body, using his back to shield them from the impact of the metal explosion!
His suit was tattered on his back, charred in many places by the flames of the explosion, and blood was flowing from some areas. Fortunately, it was covered by ice, but it was still quite a shocking sight.
The man in the top hat on the left had a complicated expression. He turned around and first carefully examined the brother he was protecting. Seeing that the man in the top hat on the right was unharmed, he seemed relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
