As two voices rang out, Su Xi saw two people, one fat and one thin, appear before her, radiating hostility.
These two were the guardians stationed in Rong City by the Law Enforcement Alliance. Nominally, they were there to maintain public order, but in reality, they acted as the uncrowned kings of Rong City.
Their status within the Law Enforcement Alliance might have been insignificant, but in this remote backwater of Rong City, they were akin to emperors.
Once they spoke, everyone had to obey.
Now that Su Xi had publicly killed one of their men, failure to deal with her would result in a significant loss of their authority.
If morale eroded, it would be difficult to maintain control of their ranks.
Therefore, regardless of right or wrong, they had to keep Su Xi here today.
This was all for the reputation of their Law Enforcement Alliance.
"Who are you?" Ma Lin, shaking his fat, scrutinized Su Xi carefully.
Although Chen Ruixin was incompetent, he had at least reached the Foundation Establishment stage. If Su Xi could kill Chen Ruixin before they arrived, her strength was undoubtedly not simple.
Moreover, her disregard for the Law Enforcement Alliance suggested she had a powerful background.
Rong City was a secluded place with few experts, and there was no one like Su Xi.
While they disliked challenges to their authority, they also did not wish to provoke powerful individuals. Only by ascertaining Su Xi's identity could they act without restraint.
This approach had been the foundation of their peaceful coexistence in Rong City for many years.
Facing Ma Lin's questioning, Su Xi waved her hand. "Spare the pleasantries. If you want to fight, just fight. Playing dirty isn't interesting."
As soon as the two appeared, Su Xi had sensed them secretly setting up traps in the vicinity. Their current exchange was merely a delay tactic to ensure the traps were properly set.
"Brother Ma, stop wasting words with her. Let's capture her and interrogate her later," Niu Wei sneered, charging at Su Xi first.
Su Xi was exceptionally beautiful, and the lecherous Niu Wei certainly did not want to miss out.
He intended to capture Su Xi first and then do as he pleased.
The dream of every supporting male character was to obtain the female lead.
"Cracking Palm!"
With Niu Wei's angry roar, the ground beneath Su Xi rapidly developed dense cracks, and then sharp rocks continuously surged towards her.
Each rock that flew towards Su Xi was incredibly sharp, leaving her no room to evade and no chance of survival.
Su Xi did not show fear in the face of Niu Wei's attack.
She instantly leaped into the air, evading the cracks on the ground. Then, she hurled her fire-burning stick, and a frost instantly spread outwards.
Instantly, the previously collapsing ground rapidly healed under the frost.
In a moment, the entire area transformed into a world of ice and snow. Su Xi stepped onto the ice, and with a gentle sweep of her fire-burning stick beside her, she formed a natural ice and snow barrier.
"Thump!"
As soon as she finished, the rocks collided with the ice, emitting a deafening sound.
The seemingly fragile ice surface was as solid as rock, forcefully blocking the stones and even freezing all the approaching rocks.
Seeing this, Ma Lin's gaze sharpened, confirming that Su Xi was not to be trifled with.
While Niu Wei's move was not his ultimate skill, it was not something anyone could handle. Su Xi's ability to effortlessly counter it indicated her extraordinary strength.
He knew clearly that Niu Wei alone could not deal with Su Xi. Therefore, he did not stand by and watch but immediately charged forward.
"Frost Palm."
Ma Lin's arm was immediately covered in frost, and countless ice cones flew towards Su Xi.
The ice cones were fast and fierce, each several dozen meters long, charging with formidable force. It was evident that anyone struck by them would have no chance of survival.
Ma Lin's Frost Palm was his renowned technique, and with his Golden Core stage cultivation, dealing with someone like Su Xi, who was merely at Foundation Establishment, should be effortless.
In the next moment, he could already envision Su Xi's fate of being pierced by a thousand arrows.
Facing Ma Lin's grand offensive, Su Xi's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
Some things cannot be judged by their surface.
Her strength was not as simple as it appeared.
"Astral Sword!"
Su Xi drew her sword and instantly slashed at the empty space before her.
Instantly, a firebird formed from the Sun True Fire, flapping its wings, soared towards the ice cones conjured by Ma Lin.
The Sun True Fire inherently carried the essence of supreme hardness and yang from heaven and earth. Even Ma Lin's powerful techniques were suppressed.
The ice cones melted into a puddle of water before they could even approach the Sun True Fire.
Ma Lin stared at the puddle of water on the ground, his eyes widening in disbelief.
How could this be?
His cultivation technique had reached the Xuan-grade High-tier level. How could Su Xi effortlessly counter it?
What was the origin of Su Xi's flames that they were so potent?
Despite the myriad of thoughts racing through his mind, Ma Lin knew this was not the time for contemplation. He had to evade the Sun True Fire's attack, which was his immediate priority.
Otherwise, he would face the consequence of his soul scattering.
Seeing the Sun True Fire lunging at him, Niu Wei, in a panic, clawed at the void. An arm formed of rock instantly appeared in the sky.
The arm reached out to grasp the firebird formed from the Sun True Fire, attempting to control it.
However, the moment the arm touched the Sun True Fire, before it could exert any force, it instantly turned to ash, failing to impede it in the slightest.
"How can this be?" Niu Wei was taken aback by this outcome and momentarily stunned.
During this moment of stupefaction, Su Xi had already directed the divine bird formed from the Sun True Fire towards Niu Wei.
The divine bird flew with extreme speed and instantly swallowed Niu Wei whole.
Before Niu Wei could even let out a scream, his entire being became nourishment for the divine bird, vanishing without a trace.
Seeing the terrifying power of Su Xi's Sun True Fire, Ma Lin immediately recognized he had encountered a formidable opponent and shouted urgently, "Stop! We are from the Law Enforcement Alliance, you..."
Hearing Ma Lin invoke the name of the Law Enforcement Alliance to suppress her again, Su Xi's face showed a hint of helplessness.
Since someone was so eager to die, she couldn't be blamed.
Her killing intent had not been so strong initially, but now she could not let them leave.
The Law Enforcement Alliance was not a good entity.
Su Xi increased the output of her spiritual power. The divine bird formed from the Sun True Fire grew even larger, and amidst Ma Lin's panicked expression, he became a meal for the Sun True Fire.
After consuming Ma Lin, the Sun True Fire let out a sharp cry and slowly returned to the Astral Sword.
After consecutively eliminating several members of the Law Enforcement Alliance, Su Xi pondered for a moment and then directly picked up the Law Enforcement Alliance token from the ground.
This item should prove somewhat useful; keeping it might yield some benefit.
