Chapter 1722


    Fade squinted and he replied coldly, "And by that do you mean that I should hand over the Frozen


    Snow Flower to you?"


    "Of course," Ezra said matter- of- factly as she wielded her sword.


    Baylor felt bad but assured, "Be that as it may, we do acknowledge your effort in bringing down the


    guardian beast. Therefore, we won''t shortchange you."


    "Haha!" Fade sneered and said, "What if I refuse to hand over the Frozen Snow Flower?"


    "Then don''t me us if we get nasty," Ezra retorted as she thrusted her long sword, signalling an


    imminent fight.


    The remaining four people got into a fighting stance too. They ran their positive energy and were


    ready to fight against Fade.


    Shaking his head, Fade grinned and said, "Such an ungrateful lot. Since you want to die, don''t


    me me for being merciless."


    As he spoke, his energy surged as he got ready to attack.


    The moment Ezra noticed this, she yelled quickly,


    "Let''s attack together and kill them all. The Frozen Snow Flower will then be ours."


    All of a sudden, the five of them came forward to attack at the same time.


    "You''re courting death!" Fade snorted coldly. Besieged by five people, he threw out a stream of


    positive energy which tossed all of them, eventually causing them to fall to the ground. They all spat


    out blood.


    Never had they thought that he would be so powerful. Despite joining forces, they could not even


    withstand a blow from him.


    In an instant, everyone was confused. As Fade strode towards them with a sombre expression, one


    of them was so utterly scared that his face turned pale.


    "No, don''t kill me. I know I''m wrong."


    "I didn''t want to fight. It was Ezra who gave us the order. Boohoo!"


    "If you kill us, Ice Lake n will go after you," Ezra remained headstrong even though she was on


    the brink of death.


    Fade was not bothered by her words. The Qi sword in his hand whistled out and he was about to


    cut down.


    However, at this moment, Quin shouted, "Fade, stop!"


    As he looked back and gazed at her, he asked, "Yes Quin?"


    Looking at him, she muttered, "Granted, they were in the wrong. However, it''s not to the point where


    they should be killed. Just let them go!"


    Fade knew that his wife had always been kind-hearted. She had just been exposed to the world of


    martial arts. Naturally, she was not aware of the cruelty and danger which were part of the modus


    operand! of this world. Hence, she was unable to tolerate it when he wanted tomit the killing.


    Setting them free could potentially spell trouble. However, after all, his wife had spoken. Hence, he


    withdrew the virtual sword and shouted coldly to the five people, "Lucky you for cheating death. I''ll


    spare your lives. Now get out of here!"Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    At this point in time, all five of them were too afraid to say anything. They got up from the ground


    and ran out of the cave.


    However, at this time, Fade suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Wait a minute!"


    Instantaneously, all five of them stood stock-still. They looked back at him with a long face and said,


    "What else do you want?"


    Quin too was looking quizzically at him.


    Fade asked, "Did some vigers pass by here this afternoon? Did you assault them?"


    Upon hearing this, all five of them were stunned. Then, four of them directed their gazes at Ezra.


    Knowing that she could not keep mum about the incident, she confessed, "It was me. Those foolish


    vigers should have been punished for breaking into our formation. I had to teach them a lesson."


    Fade''s face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Teach them a lesson? Why on earth did you


    have to teach them a lesson by shooting freezing cold energy into their bodies to kill them?"


    She retorted indifferently, "I did not. I was merely striking lightly. Those vigers were just too weak


    to withstand my inner force. They deserved to die anyway."


    His face darkened at this moment. He stared at her and continued, "What about the crippled old


    man and the ten- year- old kid in the past two weeks or so? Were you the one who killed them?"


    She replied nonchntly, "It was the same situation. They broke into our formation by ident.


    They were so feeble that they couldn''t even withstand a single blow from me. It serves them right to


    die anyway!"


    Upon hearing this, Fade did not utter a single word. He raised his hand and shot out a stream of


    positive energy towards her.


    She was taken aback at the sight of Fade attacking her despite promising to spare her life. She


    wanted to say something. However, the stream of positive energy pierced through her heart before


    she managed to utter a single word. She copsed to the ground and sumbed to her injuries.


    The remaining four people were utterly horrified and terror-stricken.


    Fade shook his hand and said coldly, "Take her body and buzz off!"


    Baylor and the other threerades were too stunned to say anything. As they collected Ezra''s


    body, they ran out of the cave quickly.


    It was not until they were out of sight that Fade’s stony gaze started to dissipate. He looked back at


    Quin and exined, "My dear wife, I resorted to killing Ezra as she had gone overboard. Not only


    was she ruthless, but she was also highly conceited and did not treasure human lives. The lives of


    ordinary folks are nothing but a speck of dust to her."


    "Sparing her life would only lead to more innocent people getting harmed. For this reason, she can''t


    be forgiven."


    Quin nodded in agreement. She looked at him and said, "Fade, you don''t have to exin yourself. I


    understand. I was too naive. Not realizing the cruelty in the world of martial arts, I..."


    He squeezed her hand and said, "Alright then, let''s not talk about this. The Frozen Snow Flower


    that I'' ve just got is of good quality. It suits you perfectly as you are practicing the Nine Froze Skill.


    Let''s descend the mountain and find a ce. I’ll help to refine the Frozen Snow Flower which can


    improve your strength."


    "Okay," she nodded.


    Then, the both of them left the cave and descended the mountain.


    Before descending the mountain, Fade destroyed the formation set up by Baylor so that innocent


    vigers would not be harmed unnecessarily.


    At the base of the mountain, Jamar and the others were fixated from afar as Fade and Quin made


    their way down the mountain. When they finally reached the foot of the mountain, the vigers


    scurried towards them to express their concerns.


    "Doctor Chen, you descended safely. Great."


    "Doctor Chen and Miss Lin, you aren’t hurt, are you?"


    "Doctor Chen, what is up there at the summit? Is it something spooky?"


    Hearing the words of concern from the vigers, Fade felt a tinge of warmth. He exined that the


    dangerous formation at the summit had been removed and that it would no longer pose any


    hazards.


    As for the three people that had perished, Fade did not borate. Instead, he used poisonous


    miasma as a smokescreen to cover up the truth..


    At noon, he and Quin bid farewell and left after taking a respite at Spirit Bird Vige.


    Not too far from Spirit Bird Vige, the two of them arrived at the centre of East Stream City. They


    managed to locate a five- star hotel and checked in.


    They took a shower and rested. The following day, Fade started to help Quin refine the Frozen


    Snow Flower.


    After refining, her cultivation improved. She managed to break through the Yellow Level and


    reached the early stage of ck Level.


    "Honey, let''s go out for a walk. It''s too boring to confine ourselves to the room for the entire day!" He


    grabbed hold of her arm to make their way to the door.


    She nodded in agreement. Just as they were about to leave, the phone beeped. There was a


    message.
