Chapter 158 It’s raining

The rain falls on the umbrella, and then the rain in this world has one more sound.

The sound of rain always has a magical power that makes the whole world quiet. Only the sound of rain remains, isolating everything, as if there are only two people under the umbrella in this world.

“I really like the rain!”

Su Xiaozhi opened her eyes wide with excitement, and she held Cao Ze with a little more force.

"Do you still remember that when I was a kid, there were three big trees behind your house. The treetops were higher than the roof. When the wind blew, they made a rustling sound. Every time it rained, I liked to sit under the eaves and listen to the sound of rain falling on the trees. The sound of wind and rain was really beautiful. At that time, I thought, it would be great if the rain could never stop!"

"Unfortunately, the three trees were cut down not long after."

“But now, I have found that feeling again.”

“I really like the rain!”

Su Xiaozhi looked up at Cao Ze, her big watery eyes filled with bright light.

"Okay, then we will plant a few big trees in the yard, and every time it rains, I will sit under the eaves with you and listen to the sound of the wind and rain!"

Cao Ze also tightened his arms and pulled Su Xiaozhi towards him.

Su Xiaozhi narrowed her eyes, smiling at Cao Ze like a crescent moon.

But at this time, Cao Ze stopped.

Before, he had been paying too much attention to Su Xiaozhi and didn't even notice.
It's too quiet around here!
The sea view is opened.

With a gleam in his eyes, Cao Ze paused briefly and then continued to move forward.

There was no need for much communication. Although Su Xiaozhi was still holding Cao Ze's arm, she was ready to take action at any time.

In an alley across the street from Cao Ze and the other person, Yue Zhenting looked into the distance, frowned, then rubbed his fists and walked towards the street where Cao Ze was.

He had long expected that with the Demon Subduing Division out in full force, some scoundrels would jump out to cause trouble, and they were not completely unprepared.

I don’t know when the drizzle turned into heavy rain, and the rain curtains and rising water vapor made the whole world foggy.

Of course, this couldn't stop the great master at all. Huge raindrops poured down on him, smashing him into pieces and flying everywhere, but they couldn't even wet his clothes.

He took one step forward with full of vigor, and soon he was like a walking mountain. Under the washing of rain, the mountain's mighty upward force became clearer and clearer.

But Yue Zhenting still stopped.

A dark shadow came out from the rain curtain and blocked the way ahead, "Master Yue, please stay!"

"Master Liehuo!"

Yue Zhenting looked at the figure in the rain in front of him. He was dressed in a fiery red robe, with a tall and mighty figure, red hair fluttering in the wind, and a messy beard that almost covered his entire face, leaving only a pair of fiery eyes emitting a scorching light.

Even in this heavy rain, it felt like being close to a blazing furnace.

"It is such an honor that Patriarch Yue recognized me!"

Lord Liehuo laughed loudly, "If that's the case, then there's no need to waste words. You and I are both old, and fighting is something for young people. Why don't you honor us by going to the restaurant next door and having a few drinks? Wouldn't that be fun?"

boom!
A heavy force permeated, and the rain within a radius of hundreds of meters fell heavily on the ground, shattering into pieces. The shadow of a mountain emerged, suppressing this piece of world. Yue Zhenting, dressed in green, flashed in front of Lord Liehuo, and with the power of a mountain, he punched him hard.

"Hey, why bother!"

Lord Liehuo sighed softly and threw out a punch as fiercely as fire.

With a loud bang, like a ball of fire burning, it melted the world that Yue Zhenting had suppressed, and forcibly snatched control of half of the world.

The terrifying shock wave quickly spread from the center of the collision between the two people to the surrounding areas, and even the heavy rain stagnated in mid-air and could not fall.

"Master Yue, don't waste your energy. You can't get through it!"

It seemed as if there were flames burning on the red robe around Lord Liehuo. The fire was so raging that he didn't seem to have any difficulty in blocking Yue Zhenting's punch.

"Not always!"

Yue Zhenting looked at the heavy rain all around him and said, "The weather is right for me!"

Before he finished speaking, he rubbed forward again.

This Lord Liehuo was originally a pirate master who had been in seclusion for many years. However, it was unknown when he had broken through to the fourth level of Jiaoxue and even had his eyes on Cape City.

But Yue Zhenting was not panicked at all. The reason why the four families had been able to suppress Haijiao City for so many years was not because of their large numbers!

"Heavy rain doesn't necessarily weaken me!"

Lord Liehuo laughed loudly and swung his fists, feeling extremely refreshed. He said not to waste energy, but it seemed that he was the one who enjoyed the fight as well.

"Water, fire, water, fire. Water may turn into fire!"

Bang!
He punched again, and the steam rising from the surrounding area suddenly roared and began to burn violently.

This time, Yue Zhenting took several steps back before he could steady himself.

“This is going to be tricky!”

Yue Zhenting's face darkened and he decided not to think any more. The power of the mountain erupted completely and he fought with Lord Liehuo with a roar.

……

Of the Bai family, Bai Yuanze, who was seriously injured in a sneak attack by an assassin a few days ago, also did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Dragon Temple.

After nearly two months of recuperation, he has now recovered, but he is old and frail after all. At this moment, he is sitting in the pavilion, lying on a recliner, listening to the sound of rain, and feeling drowsy.

Suddenly, the rocking recliner stopped rocking. Bai Yuanze opened his eyes and looked towards the inner city with a sharp look in his eyes.

The next moment, he flashed and appeared on the roof.

But he soon stopped.

A refined middle-aged man with long fluttering hair and a green robe walked out from the rain curtain opposite the roof. He was holding a guqin in his hand. When he saw Bai Yuanze, he smiled at him gracefully.

"Master Bai is old, why bother to get involved in these mundane matters? Why not listen to me play the piano?"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Bai Yuanze to answer. He sat down cross-legged on the roof, placed the guqin across his legs, placed his hands elegantly on the strings, and gently plucked them. Immediately, the sound of ding-dong-dong came out.

"Get out of the way!"

Even with Bai Yuanze's experience, he had never seen such a weird person, but he would not indulge him.

He raised his right hand as if he was grabbing the sky.

The next moment, he came in front of the middle-aged man playing the piano.

With a flip of his hand, the world turned upside down in an instant, as if the heaven and earth were turning upside down, and he pressed down on the middle-aged man who was playing the piano.

However, the expected scene did not appear.

I didn't hide in middle age, nor was I crushed into dust by heaven and earth.

There seemed to be an inexplicable soothing power in the sound of his piano. The originally furious Bai Yuanze suddenly felt a sense of tranquility in his heart and wanted to return to the recliner and continue listening to the sound of rain.

Not only him, but even the Heaven-Turning Seal he cast and the power of heaven and earth he mobilized seemed to have fallen into tranquility at this moment, while the world was turned upside down and full of murderous intent just a moment ago.

The next moment, it was like a breeze blowing by, lifting the middle-aged man's long hair, which fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of elegance.

"Stay angry, stay angry!"

Bai Yuanze's eyes were glaring, his hair was standing on end, and he tried hard to take action, but found that he had no intention of killing at all, and he couldn't even raise his hand.

He kept roaring in his heart, but it was all in vain. The more he roared, the calmer his expression became.

Soon, a smile appeared on his face.

Standing on the roof, with hands behind the back and eyes closed, I enjoy the tranquility that the sound of rain brings to this world, with only the sound of the piano remaining.

In the underground hall of Langya Pavilion, the snoring suddenly disappeared, and the old man on the recliner opened his eyes and sat up. The next moment, he appeared on the top of Langya Pavilion. Standing on the top of Langya Pavilion, overlooking Haijiao City.

Yue Zhenting was fighting with Lord Liehuo in the streets.

On the roof, Bai Yuanze, with his hands behind his back, listening to the rain and the piano,

Panoramic view!

But he did not move. He just slowly raised his head and looked at the young man standing in the sky, riding the wind.

Dragon Blood Grandmaster!

The old man's heart sank. What a big event!
Lu Haixiang in the air also saw the old man on the top of the pavilion and smiled slightly. The two stood facing each other, and neither of them acted rashly.

……

In the rain, Cao Ze held an umbrella, held Su Xiaozhi's arm, and continued walking along the street.

It was raining heavily and the surroundings were foggy. The streets were flooded by rain and the two of them felt like they were walking in water.

At this moment, the heavy rain suddenly stopped and hovered in the air.

The huge raindrops began to stretch and deform, and white ice crystals climbed up the raindrops.

In an instant, thousands of ice swords appeared in the air, and then all turned around and shot towards Cao Ze and Su Xiaozhi.

chi chi...

The cut air whistled, and the dense ice swords pierced Su Xiaozhi's skin, causing some pain.

But she did not panic. She let go of Cao Ze's hand, took the umbrella, and held the umbrella for Cao Ze instead.

Ouch!

A dragon roared.

When the ice swords touched within three feet in front of Cao Ze, a mini five-clawed golden dragon appeared out of thin air and circled around the two of them, biting, scratching, and flicking its tail, sweeping away the ice swords and preventing them from getting close to Cao Ze and the others.

At the same time, Cao Ze held Su Xiaozhi's right hand, and the shadow of a four-legged cauldron emerged.

In an instant, this world seemed to be suppressed, and the situation of the world within a radius of dozens of feet was firmly controlled by Cao Ze.

The ice swords lost their white color and turned into raindrops again, falling to the ground.

"It's really you!"

A cold-eyed woman in a light blue dress walked out from the back. They originally only suspected Cao Ze's identity, but unlike the four major families, they would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go. There was no need for any test. No matter whether Cao Ze was a man in black or not, they would just kill him first.

Unexpectedly, the first target was found.

“There are some tricks!”

The woman looked at the four-legged tripod around Cao Ze and the other man with strange eyes.

Under the suppression of this huge tripod, she was unable to fight for the control of the world around Cao Ze.

Isn't it said that this guy just barely has the strength of the second level of dragon blood?

Swish!
A dazzling blade light cut through the rain curtain, leaving a rapid white mark, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of the woman.

Cao Ze didn't waste any words. Since this man had attacked him, let him die!

The woman swung the sword in her hand and thrust it forward. The surrounding raindrops were instantly attracted and gathered towards the tip of the woman's sword. An ice sword about ten feet long took shape instantly and thrust straight towards the mark left by Cao Ze's cut.

Wow!

The blade light shattered the moment it came into contact with the ice sword. The Falling Star Blade continued to move forward without losing momentum and slashed fiercely on the woman's sword.

Bang!
The terrifying force caused the sword to bend. Even the world controlled by the woman was bent and deformed, pressing towards the woman, forcing her to fly backwards to relieve the force.

"Is this the second level of Jiao Blood?"

Li Bingxin was shocked. She, who was at the fourth level of Dragon Blood, was no match for his opponent even with her full-strength attack. You told me this guy was at the second level of Dragon Blood?

Without hesitation, she turned and ran.

With just one strike, she knew she was no match for him.

But how could Cao Ze let her escape so easily? He clenched his left hand into a sword finger and pointed it towards the clouds in the sky. Then he slid down fiercely and pointed at the fleeing woman.

"Thunder comes!"

Crack!

The sound of thunder and anger fell at the same time as Cao Ze's words.

A silver-white lightning flashed down from the clouds like a sharp sword and landed on the fleeing woman.

Frozen Imperial Realm!

The moment she turned around to run away, Li Bingxin's hair suddenly stood on end and she was enveloped by a terrifying sense of crisis.

She didn't see what Cao Ze did, but she still stopped, held the sword upside down in front of her, and opened her mouth to spit out a drop of blood.

The essence and blood turned into a mysterious dragon the moment it spurted out of the body and crashed into the long sword.

In an instant, the surrounding raindrops gathered towards the woman again, instantly condensing into an eggshell-shaped shield made of solid ice about a meter high.

Boom.

The moment the ice shield was formed, the thunder had already fallen.

Perhaps it was a lucky coincidence that the ice shield just happened to restrain the thunder. The thunder that Cao Ze triggered with all his strength, which was much stronger than the one that struck Canghai, only created a head-sized hole in the ice and did not hurt Li Bingxin inside.

But it also happened that she saw Cao Ze, who came with a long sword and the power of heaven and earth.

Strike the ocean!
Having reached Cao Ze's level, Ji Canghai was no longer bound by moves. He stabbed the long sword at the gap in the woman's ice shield.

Click, click, click!
The ice spread rapidly and closed the gap in an instant. The Meteorite Knife got stuck after only halfway through.

A smile finally appeared on Li Bingxin's face, a smile of escaping death.

This guy is so scary!

If she hadn't reacted in time, she would have probably died under the thunder.

When she thought of that thunder, she couldn't help but shudder. Could this kid really control such divine power?
What is his strength?
Of course, she no longer cares about that.

A portal as wide as one person appeared behind the Frozen Imperial Realm, and she prepared to escape.

Unfortunately, she didn't see that in front of her, Cao Ze, who was holding the handle of the Meteorite Knife through the thick ice cover, lifted the handle with his left hand and gently turned it to let the blade point upward. Then he pressed hard on the end of the handle with his right hand, and the blade instantly flew upward.

At the same time, the Meteoric Blade shattered instantly, and countless fragments extended forward, easily cutting through the ice shield that had already suffered severe damage, as well as Li Bingxin who had turned around in the shield.

Looking at the golden sword in front of him that passed through his body, Li Bing felt a little confused.

Everyone has a three-foot long sword, so why can you cut so far?

"No, who told me that this guy only has the second level of Jiao Blood?"

Cao Ze was in no mood to pay attention to the woman's thoughts. He waved his hand, grasped the handle of the Meteoric Blade and swung it diagonally to the side. In an instant, all the fragments returned to their original shape.

"Bing Xin!"

A roar came from behind.

It all happened so fast that no one could react. No one expected that Li Bingxin, the Ice Sword Fairy of the fourth level of Jiao Blood, would be killed by Cao Ze at the first sight.

It was not until then that a young man in a dark red robe arrived.
