My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Studying the vivid footprints on the ground, Qingfeng Li’s pupils narrowed. He had learned earlier that the meteorites that made up the ground were tier seven Solar Meteorites. Even with Qingfeng Li’s level of power, he would not be able to leave any footprints on them.

Yet, the White Hair Devil was able to leave clear and distinct footprints on them. Just this alone sufficiently demonstrated his impressive strength as a master who was a half-step into the Spirit Monarch Realm.

Qingfeng Li looked at the Peach Blossom She-Devil who was sheltering him with eyes filled with gratitude. He understood that it was only with the aid of this woman that he was able to hold out until now. Otherwise, Qingfeng Li would have been defeated a long time ago. Even if he didn’t get killed by the White Hair Devil, he would have been severely injured.

Nonetheless, Qingfeng Li was not ready to die. He had more ultimate treasures on him that he had not made use of yet, such as the Chaos Millstone, the Fire Dragon’s Soul, etc. These were all his deepest secrets and his last resorts. Unless death was imminent, he was not willing to use them.

If other powerful demons or self-cultivators found out that he had the Chaos Millstone, they would no doubt jump at him and try to steal the treasure. After all, the Chaos Millstone was an even more precious treasure than any of those in the Sun Mystic Realm.

The White Hair Devil began summoning the ice elemental vital essence in his body as he was brandishing the Ice-Snow Monarch Club in his hand. With a forceful smash forward, it ruptured the void and started approaching rapidly towards the Peach Blossom She-Devil.

In order for him to kill off Qingfeng and steal his treasures, the White Hair Devil knew that he would have to first defeat the woman before him, as she was the only obstacle stopping him from attaining his goal right now.

Slightly creasing her forehead, the Peach Blossom She-Devil raised the Spirit Monarch Peach Blossom Branch in her hand and moved forward to meet the White Hair Devil head-on without any hesitations.

Both the Ice-Snow Monarch Club and the Spirit Monarch Peach Blossom were first level Spirit Monarch Realm Spiritual treasures and contained the Power of Laws. The two clashed in the air and instantly shattered and annihilated the space around them.

In the enclosure of space-time, an enormous black hole emerged. Through it, evil spirits and the Time River could be seen faintly – it was extremely frightening.

This immense force was spreading in all directions, engulfing all the tables and wooden chairs along its way and leaving a gigantic bottomless hole in the ground.

The violent force continued advancing forward. Some of the self-cultivators closeby got swept into it and had their bodies shattered into pieces and vanished.

Terror overtook the faces of the self-cultivators who were observing the battle from afar. As they moved their feet to try to get away, they found that there was no way they could escape – the burst of force was travelling way too fast.

A flash of coldness crossed Qingfeng Li’s eyes, and his face became gloomy. This battle was started because of him, he was determined to not let this burst of force spread any further.

Otherwise, it would cause severe damage to the self-cultivators who were just innocent bystanders; the Lingyun Emperor, Ya Yun, and the others might get hurt as well.

“Gravity Realm!” With a roar, Qingfeng Li directly used his most powerful gravity technique and generated a vigorous gravitational force on the ground.

The gravitational force was two thousand times stronger than regular gravity, and it started sucking the violent force towards the ground, stopping it from spreading any further. In this way, the innocent self-cultivators were saved.

However, for Qingfeng Li, it was a difficult challenge. After all, those were two attacks of half-step Spirit Monarch Realm masters.

Even though Qingfeng Li’s gravity technique was also a monarch level technique, he had exhausted most of his vital essence; thus, what he was capable of now was very limited.

The gravity technique that Qingfeng Li used could only hold off the violent force for ten seconds. Although for the self-cultivators in the nearby, ten seconds should be sufficient.

Those nearby could utilize the ten seconds to pull back a few thousands meters away, retreating to safety.

Ten seconds later, Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and gurgled up a mouthful of blood. His face had become ghastly white and dispirited. Falling heavily onto the ground, his face was filled with agony.

As much as Mengyao Xu wanted to help out Qingfeng, she had also exhausted the vital essence in her body. Managing a few steps, her body dropped down right next to Qingfeng Li’s.

On the other hand, the Lingyun Emperor, Ya Yun, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake had no chance of coming over to help at all as the violent force contained the strength of two Half-step Spirit Monarch Realm masters; it wasn’t something that they could attempt to block.

While battling the Peach Blossom She-Devil, the White Hair Devil was contemplating another way to settle their fight. He found that the Peach Blossom She-Devil had great combat capabilities, and her Spirit Monarch Peach Blossom Branch was a comparable match for his Ice-Snow Monarch Club. Hence, it seemed that the battle would take a long while before it could be settled.

Moreover, the two were very close in their rankings on the Devils List as well – one was forty-ninth, and the other was fiftieth. They had engaged in a fight once before, and it was a close one. In the end, the White Hair Devil won by a narrow margin.

Therefore, it was impossible for the White Hair Devil to defeat the Peach Blossom She-Devil in a short time.

The White Hair Devil had worried that their battle would attract the attention of even more powerful self-cultivators. If those who were of the Third Level of the Spirit Monarch Realm or higher found out that Qingfeng Li was in possession of Ultimate Treasures, they would definitely partake in this scuffle. The White Hair Devil had no chance of competing against them.

All of a sudden, the White Hair Devil’s face lit up. He had spotted a familiar face in the crowd. It was an old man – an acquaintance of the White Hair Devil’s, or more appropriately put, a senior of his.

Through a voice transmission, the White Hair Devil said to the white-haired old man, “Qingfeng Li has the powerful saint level Golden Flames. It will help us immensely if we can get our hands on them. I will take on the Peach Blossom She-Devil, while you go snatch it from him.”

The white-haired old man nodded in response to the White Hair Devil’s words and started moving towards Qingfeng Li.

This old man was at least a thousand years old. His body was bound by dried up muscles and skin, his face filled with creases and wrinkles, and his eyes reflected his ample experience in life. All of the hair on his head and body had turned snow-white, giving off an aura of powerful ice-type energy.

The white-haired old man paid no regard at all to the Half-step Spirit Monarch Realm attacks launched by Peach Blossom She-Devil and the White Hair Devil, pacing leisurely until he had arrived in front of Qingfeng Li and was looming over him.

“Little guy, hand over your golden flames and I can spare your life, or at least leave you a whole and intact dead body. Otherwise, prepare to be torn apart,” glaring at Qingfeng Li who was lying on the ground, the white-haired old man threatened sharply and cruelly.

Even though Qingfeng Li was badly hurt and had no fight left in him, he managed to remain calm as he questioned, “Who are you, and why do you want my Golden Flames? You should at least disclose your identity.”

The white-haired old man replied in a dignified manner, “Well, there is no harm in telling you – I am the King of the Glacier country.”

Qingfeng Li’s face reflected his confusion as a frown began on form on his forehead. He was not familiar with the countries on the Crimson Fire Continent, so he had no idea where the Glacier country was, nor the strength of the king who ruled it.

Not far from them, the Lingyun Emperor began explaining to Qingfeng Li, “The Glacier country is the most powerful among all the low-tier countries – they are at least ten times stronger than the country of Lingyun, and the King of the Glacier country is a master in the Half-step Spirit Monarch Realm.”

Qingfeng Li nodded to the Lingyun Emperor, as he finally understood the identity of the white-haired old man and his immense power, astounded by the change in situation.
