Chapter 263 Antarctica
"Please! Just one attack... An attack that shakes the whole world is all I need to make the raging blood boiling inside me calm down!"
To say that Xie Feng's words had surprised everyone was an understatement.
Of all the people present, probably only Xie Yao understood the true pain that her most beloved one's words carried behind them since she grew up together with him.
Even before Xie Feng strangely and miraculously obtained the power to control the wind, only his physical body was at the level where it could withstand low-caliber bullets. He always tried to find another person similar to him to chat with, unfortunately, it was not until Xie Feng obtained the power to use the wind of the atmosphere to scan thousands of miles that he finally learned of the existence of the skill users and, by that time, he had become simply too powerful.
Imagine you have a billion dollars but you can't use it for anything and you can't even presume about it.... Xie Feng's feeling was a thousand times worse. Only a person who had experienced something like this could understand how painful it was to find himself restricted by the whole world his whole life.
Nangong Jun looked at the other four people and smiled bitterly as he said with some regret, "Doesn't this child remind you of when we were still young?"
An old man who looked to be about 60-61 years old but still retained some of his dark hair and had red eyes that looked as hot as a flame burning like fire looked at Xie Feng and nodded, "Indeed, back then, we four old geezers were too strong."
The red-eyed old man's gaze sighed as he lost himself in his memories: "I still remember how we spent our time fighting, destroying everything that came our way.... Until we finally got bored of the human world. It was for that reason that the five of us decided to become the protector gods of what is now known as China. Unless something unforeseen happened, we simply locked ourselves away while we tried to understand more about the element we controlled."
While the patriarchs listened with respect, the younger ones looked on in admiration as they listened to the red-eyed elder's words. From their point of view, these people were like legends, like cultivators of light novels that could be found on the internet.
"By the way." The red-eyed elder looked at Xie Feng with gratitude and said softly, "My name is Yao Chu, the ancestor of the Yao Family. Young friend, thank you very much for saving the life of my family's little girl. This old man tried to rekindle the flames of that little girl Yao Mei but her fire core is something I have never seen in my life..... No matter how much I try to feed her fire, my flame just disappears. "
Yao Chu's words were like a bomb in the middle of the night, waking everyone from their sweet dreams.
Yao Xiyu, Beiming Fei, and Yao Zenyu, who were the only ones present who knew about the dangerous condition Yao Mei was in looked at Xie Feng with wide eyes. Never in their wildest dreams did they ever think that this person who had caused so much trouble during the birthday banquet was actually her savior!
Yao Xiyu and the rest of his family had believed that Yao Mei had simply recovered on her own. Even when he knew that someone had destroyed his barrier, Yao Xiyu had mistakenly assumed that the person "trying to harm his daughter" had retreated when that person knew that she could defend herself since she was in optimal condition.
But who would have thought that things were far from the way he thought they were?
On the other hand, all the other people, with the exception of Mu Wuying, looked at Yao Mei in surprise. They never imagined that while a huge party was going on, in one of the rooms of the mansion there was a girl who was on the verge of death!
Yang Jie, the most direct of the patriarchs, looked at Yao Xiyu from head to toe; the disdain in his eyes was so obvious that even a fool could notice it.
"Stop looking at me like that, you old dog." Yao Xiyu got angry and growled. "The invitations had already been sent out and there were people from all over the world who had already arrived in China. What the hell was I supposed to do in that situation?"
Yang Jie snorted and turned his gaze elsewhere as if unwilling to talk to him. Just the thought that while Yao Xiyu was celebrating and welcoming the most important guests with a smile, his daughter was dying in her own room made Yang Jie feel repulsed.
While everyone reacted in different ways, Yao Mei just looked at Xie Feng calmly, no one knew what was going on in her head.
Actually, Xie Feng had made a small mistake; when he entered Yao Mei's room, surprised by the decorations, he couldn't help but pick up one of the stuffed animals to feel its softness. What he didn't count on was that Yao Mei knew the position her stuffed animals were in and, when she woke up, she soon noticed that the rabbit Xie Feng had touched was not in the same position she had left it before.
Each person has a different heat wave pattern, just as each food needs a different temperature to be prepared; each human being's body also has slight differences. For example, some people feel less heat during the summer but in the winter their bones freeze to the point of constantly getting sick.... Yao Mei, having practically full control over the fire, could feel the traces of heat left by Xie Feng's hand on the stuffed rabbit's body. For this reason, when he approached her during the gift-giving ceremony, she immediately realized that his body heat was practically the same as that of the stuffed rabbit.
Xie Feng casually shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand while saying casually, "You don't need to thank me for anything. I just do what I want to do, that's all.... Besides, what happened was partly my fault."
"Your fault?" Yao Chu blinked, surprised. "How can it be your fault that that Yao Mei girl's core power was drained?"
In fact, not only the Yao Family's ancestor had that doubt; Yao Xiyu, Beiming Fei. and Yao Zenyu also had the same question.
"About that..." Xie Feng thought for a moment before finally saying, "During the battle to defend Eminentis City, I was unable to arrive within the estimated time. That was probably why the little princess of the Yao family was forced to do something drastic."
Mu Wuying looked at Yao Mei, who was looking at Xie Feng in surprise, and laughed softly as she slowly said, "The name of Xie Feng's character in the virtual world is quite famous.... He is Shiva."
Xie Feng ignored the gasps of surprise and waved his hand towards Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, surrounding them both in an invisible wind sphere and flew off towards the surface.
"Mister Nangong Jun, see you in Antarctica!"
Xie Feng's voice transmitted into everyone's ears, leaving them dumbfounded.
"This brat..." Nangong Jun smiled helplessly as he complained, "I didn't even agree."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Yao Chu laughed out loud. He waved his hand towards the Yao Family members and transformed into a meteor of fire flying towards the south. Even after disappearing, his voice still carried to everyone's ears, "Let the young ones see what true power is so that they don't become too arrogant!"
In the end, Nangong Jun could only envelop in lightning Nangong Wentian and Nangong Lei who had just awakened after being treated by a healing Esper, and Yao Ruolan.
Nangong Jun along with the other three ancestors flew at terrifying speeds to the south.
* * *
The distance between Beijing and Antarctica was approximately fourteen thousand kilometers, but with the speed of Xie Feng and the rest, this distance was covered in less than five minutes even without flying at full speed. They only stopped after reaching practically the central area of Antarctica, away from all the continents of the world and separated by thousands of square kilometers of ocean water and ice.
The wind was extremely heavy in this place and the ice floor was proof enough to prove the low temperatures at which this territory was still practically unexplored by humans, being one of the most extreme environments in the whole world.
"Alright!" Nangong Jun exclaimed as he looked at Xie Feng. "It's been so many years that I don't even remember what I can do at my maximum capacity."
Even separated by a distance of several kilometers, Nangong Jun's voice reached Xie Feng unimpeded. The furiously howling wind could not stop the thunderous voice of an existence that would be crowned as a god if he were to make himself known for humanity.
"You don't need to hold back, I won't hold back either!" Xie Feng replied as his body shivered, not due to the cold, but due to the excitement he felt!
Xie Feng believed that Nangong Jun could, at the very least, resist his most powerful attack. Furthermore, although it was practically useless in comparison to his wind element, Xie Feng could also use some lightning elemental power! He couldn't wait to see what he was really capable of; since even Xie Feng himself didn't know his full strength!
