455: The cold fool who was confused again

Just like that, countless beings, as dense as a swarm of mosquitoes, flew over various regions of Hanzhou, attracting the attention of the entire Hanzhou.

Most of the native inhabitants of Hanzhou had no idea what so many races gathering together were going to do.

They merely speculated amongst themselves, finally rushing to inform their respective sects that a major battle might be about to break out.

........

Hanzhou, Extreme North Land

Hardi, who had already finished bathing, was currently annoyed by Leng Ningyue, who was stubbornly clinging to his back and refused to leave.

"Ha Ge! Don't abandon Xiao Leng! Without you, how can I live in this region?!"

Leng Ningyue, with teary, pitiful eyes, clung tightly to the fur on Hardi's back with both hands, refusing to let him leave no matter what.

Ha Ge was her great support, and she couldn't just lose him like this.

Ever since Leng Ningyue discovered that after bathing Ha Ge, he reverted to his original form as a several-meter-tall ancient giant beast and was preparing to leave.

This greatly alarmed Leng Ningyue; she was unfamiliar with this place, and Ha Ge had even hunted Xianzun Realm in this region.

If she accidentally encountered one without Ha Ge, this incredibly powerful Demon Immortal Venerable, by her side, wouldn't she be utterly dead?

"Woof woof woof!!"

Hardi was frantically shaking his body; from his mouth movements, one could tell how fiercely he was cursing.

Hardi was getting anxious; his enemies were about to arrive, and he didn't want to implicate this foolish thing!

But why couldn't he shake off this foolish thing!?

Hardi even used the Black Flame Immortal Power within his body, intending to forcibly pull Leng Ningyue off, but what followed was an even greater pulling force.

"Ah!! It hurts, it hurts! Ha Ge, no!!"

As soon as Leng Ningyue was touched by the Black Flame Immortal Power, she immediately feigned pity, crying out in pain with a wronged expression.

Indeed, as she expected, Hardi instantly deflated; he only wanted to shake her off, not harm her.

"Woof woof woof!!"

"Ow woooo~!!"

Hardi turned his head, angrily baring his teeth at Leng Ningyue and barking a few times, wanting her to get down.

"Hehehe, Ha Ge."

Seeing Hardi turn his head, Leng Ningyue immediately let out a silly laugh and called out.

Her silly laugh was comparable to Hardi's when he laughed.

Hardi, with his incredibly intelligent large eyes, continued to run and shake his body.

But Leng Ningyue just clung tightly to his fur, refusing to let go even when injured.

Suddenly, Hardi's dark pupils flashed with a cold light, and his body abruptly shot to the side.

Bang!!

A huge fireball instantly smashed into the spot where Hardi had just been, melting tens of thousands of meters of the surrounding cold land in an instant.

This scene made Leng Ningyue's eyes widen in fright, and she anxiously shouted at Ha Ge beneath her:

"Ha Ge!! There's a demon beast!!"

"Woof woof woof!!"

Hearing this, Hardi immediately barked furiously at Leng Ningyue a few times, then abruptly accelerated, and with a boom!, began to run wildly.

He had told this bipedal beast to get down earlier, but she wouldn't; now, their lives were tied together.

"Ha Ge! How can you bark at cute Xiao Leng... wait, holy crap!! Ha Ge! Why are there so many people and demon beasts in the sky!!"

Leng Ningyue, barked at by Hardi, immediately pouted with a slight grievance.

But Leng Ningyue's voice grew slower and slower, finally widening her eyes abruptly and shouting at Hardi in confusion, staring at the sky.

"Beast! You have harmed so many races and beings in the Immortal Realm, today you will not escape again!!"

From high in the sky, a majestic voice roared, and its Xianzun Realm pressure surged towards Hardi and Leng Ningyue.

Hardi, startled, quickly protected Leng Ningyue behind him, his four paws crushing large sections of the ice as he sprinted like he was teleporting.

However, countless figures slowly flew out from the sky, like phantoms, instantly surrounding the area, making it impossible to escape.

Now Leng Ningyue finally understood; this was not just a demon beast! They were being hunted!

These people clearly weren't from the Ice Abyss Divine Sect; their clothing varied, and there were even Xianzun Realm, with Immortal Sovereign Realm being countless.

If they were trying to capture her, they wouldn't go to such great lengths, so there was only one possibility.

"Ha Ge!! You actually have so many enemies! Why didn't you say so earlier! If you had, I wouldn't have followed you~!"

Leng Ningyue, looking at the figures in the sky and on the ice, moving like teleporting phantoms, was so scared that her voice trembled on Hardi's back.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

Hardi was so angry he almost went straight up and bit Leng Ningyue; it was clearly you, this foolish thing, who insisted on following!

"Alright, alright, my fault, my fault, I shouldn't have followed you just now."

Leng Ningyue finally understood why Ha Ge had been so agitated and wanted to shake her off earlier, and quickly admitted her mistake.

"Ha Ge, these are your enemies, and now I'm implicated, so you have to protect me well."

"Otherwise, there won't be a Xiao Leng to bathe you anymore!"

Leng Ningyue, instead of letting go, clutched the soft fur on Hardi's back even tighter, trembling all over as she looked at the surrounding crowd.

Whoosh!!

At this moment, a ten-thousand-meter-large wind blade struck, and the surrounding ice instantly shattered and flew chaotically.

Hardi's eyes widened, and a black flame barrier instantly formed in front of him.

Bang!!!

The two forces collided, erupting in a powerful aftershock, and countless beings quickly protected themselves.

"Hahahaha!! You beast! This time I'd like to see how you run!!"

The cat-girl elf who unleashed the ten-thousand-meter wind blade let out a wild laugh; despite being a female cat, her laughter was incredibly unrestrained.

At this moment, Hardi, who was still running wildly, suddenly paused, and his sharp claws instantly carved a deep gully in the cold ground.

After stopping, Hardi gently enveloped Leng Ningyue, who was still crying on his back, with warm Black Flame Immortal Power, and slowly retreated with cautious steps.

Following his gaze, one could see a Xianzun Realm flame figure appearing in front, along with countless beings glaring at him.

"Scared!? You should be!"

"You beast, today you will surely die!!!"

Countless voices cursing Hardi echoed around, their sounds shaking half of Hanzhou, astonishing countless beings who didn't know what was happening.

Meanwhile, Wang Feng and Jiang Hanxi were among the crowd, watching Hardi's retreating figure with interest, not at all anxious.

"My wife, do you think he can escape?"

Wang Feng, carrying Jiang Hanxi on his back, quietly watched Hardi, who was surrounded in a circle, and spoke.

The beings who had been watching them earlier, upon seeing Hardi, became enraged and shifted their attention.

So, for the time being, no one bothered them or made them stand out.

"If... he didn't have Cold Saintess to protect on his back, he might be able to escape."

"What!??"

Wang Feng, hearing Jiang Hanxi's words, exclaimed in surprise, causing Su Wan, who was silently observing nearby, to tremble slightly.

Wang Feng had only arrived after Hardi had enveloped Leng Ningyue with Black Flame Immortal Power, so he hadn't seen that foolish thing, Cold Fool, earlier.

However, Jiang Hanxi had Immortal Emperor cultivation, and with a casual glance, she could see Leng Ningyue, who was crying uncontrollably from fright, through Hardi's immortal power.
