Chapter 086: Extreme Cold

Chen Xiao had always been under the misconception that superhumans were invincible in the secular world, and ordinary people had no chance of resisting them. But it seems Chen Xiao was wrong. Although superhumans possess extraordinary powers beyond ordinary humans, they are still mortal beings, not gods, and cannot withstand the firepower of modern firearms. Before reaching a certain level, they still cannot defend against modern weapons. In fact, throughout history, many superhumans have been torn to pieces by modern firearms.

Chen Xiao is now in a dire crisis. If those people pull the triggers even slightly, he will be shot to pieces. He dare not hesitate at all. With a surge of his mental power, he instantly entered the Main God’s Space.

“Damn it! That Blood Dragon is so cunning. He can’t bear to sacrifice superhumans, so he uses hundreds of ordinary people as cannon fodder,” Chen Xiao said through gritted teeth in the Main God’s Space.

It might have been okay if it were just a few superhumans, but with ordinary people armed with modern weapons, Chen Xiao is powerless. He can’t possibly summon Shouhen to wreak havoc. Such weapons might threaten Chen Xiao, but they certainly can’t threaten Shouhen. But once Shouhen intervenes, his actions will be devastating—ordinary people simply won’t be able to withstand them and will surely be wiped out.

But killing hundreds of ordinary people today might mean that every kind of monster will come after Chen Xiao tomorrow. The restrictions on superhumans in the secular world are indeed too severe. Throughout history, unless it was during wartime, no superhuman would dare to commit such mass killings. This is both a dilemma for Chen Xiao and the method used by the Blood Dragon and others to restrain Shouhen. Of course, this doesn’t mean superhumans can’t attack ordinary people on their own. If ordinary people offend them, most superhumans either ignore them or kill them outright. But this time, there are simply too many people, and Chen Xiao has no way to resist. Even if he summoned Shouhen now, he would likely become a target the moment Shouhen appeared.

Moreover, killing hundreds of people at once is a huge incident—probably even the Soul of China will get involved in the investigation. Faced with this situation, Chen Xiao is truly helpless and can only temporarily hide in the Main God’s Space to think of a solution.

Judging from the Blood Dragon’s style of action, he is a decisive killer. He might order them to shoot Chen Xiao at any moment. This man is patient, able to strike at the perfect moment, and extremely cunning. Chen Xiao doesn’t want to keep him around.

If it weren’t for the existence of the Main God’s Space, Chen Xiao would surely struggle to get through this ordeal.

“Young master, why not let me go out and kill them all right away?” Shouhen approached Chen Xiao and bowed.

“If you kill hundreds of ordinary people now, I’ll be hunted by others tomorrow,” Chen Xiao shook his head. “Can you subdue hundreds of ordinary people all at once?”

Shouhen shook his head. “My source of power is the Water of Death. Even a trace of its power will kill ordinary people instantly. But if it were two hundred superhumans, I could easily capture them.”

The Nest Scar Killer, who commands the Water of Death, possesses immense combat power. Yet it is precisely because of his overwhelming strength and bizarre attributes that ordinary people simply cannot withstand him. Just as an elephant can trample to death a rat that isn’t in a hurry to escape with a single step.
“Mumu, Guigui,” Chen Xiao summoned Mumu and Guigui to his side with a thought.
“Younger master, I can subdue these people,” Mumu spoke first. “There are 467 people outside. I can easily take them under control.”
“Good. Now come with me.”
Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up. He had come to the Main God’s Space to find out who could safely handle the situation outside.
……
“Water of Extreme Cold, Bind!”
As soon as Mumu appeared beside Chen Xiao, without any delay, she stretched out one hand and gave a soft command. A crystal-blue water curtain instantly covered an area of a hundred meters around them.
“Bad! Fire!”
The burly man and Blood Dragon were shocked and quickly gave the order.
But Mumu was too fast—so fast that these ordinary people didn’t even have time to react before being enveloped by the crystal-blue water.
The crystal-blue water was extremely cold—Water of Extreme Cold. Upon touching ordinary people’s bodies, it immediately froze everything about them, stopping their vitality and even their thoughts. Yet this didn’t mean they would die.
If it were Chen Xiao using the Water of Extreme Cold, it wouldn’t have such limited power; he would likely freeze them to death outright.
Blood Dragon, Stedley, and the burly man were after all fifth- and sixth-tier powerhouses with spiritual energies of different attributes, allowing them to resist the icy water. But even under such terrifying cold, they were frozen solid, with Stedley, the weakest among them, barely able to move.
“Another seventh-tier powerhouse?” Blood Dragon and the burly man exchanged horrified looks. Chen Xiao had a seventh-tier powerhouse by his side—something Blood Dragon had witnessed firsthand—but now another one appeared, leaving him stunned.
“Blood Dragon, I told you I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it,” Chen Xiao said coldly, his gaze icy.
A flash of fear crossed Blood Dragon’s eyes. In the next moment, his body transformed into a streak of blood light and he fled backward.
“Mumu!” Chen Xiao frowned.
“Yes!” Mumu reached out with her right hand. A crystal-blue light, countless times faster than Blood Dragon’s blood light, instantly chased after him.
Bang!
The blood light transformed by Blood Dragon froze the moment it touched the blue light, falling to the ground and shattering into pieces, unable to reassemble.
Mumu’s strength was limited to seventh tier, but the maximum limit was seventh tier—she was at the peak of that level. The power of the Water of Extreme Cold she controlled was immense, and earlier it had been restrained just enough to subdue these ordinary people.
But now, Mumu didn’t hold back at all. With a single move, she completely froze Blood Dragon to death, extinguishing all traces of life in him.

Upon seeing Stedley and that burly man, their hearts turned cold. The Blood Dragon’s ability to transform into blood and escape was extremely famous in the world of superpowers. Even ordinary Level 7 warriors could hardly catch up when using this skill, yet now it seemed that the Blood Dragon had been killed so easily.
“Stedley, what do you think? Is there still any hope for us to cooperate?” Seeing the Blood Dragon dead, Chen Xiao wasn’t particularly affected. After experiencing numerous battles in the world of superpowers, he wasn’t a novice anymore.
“Yes, there is!” Stedley’s previously frozen body seemed to regain vitality as he nodded frantically with his big head.
“What about you?” Chen Xiao turned to ask the burly man.
“You actually killed the Blood Dragon?” The burly man didn’t seem scared. He simply sighed and said, “Do I have any other choice?”
At this moment, Chen Xiao also frowned slightly. Yuye Xiaochen had told him before that the backgrounds of these three major criminal syndicates were complex, capable of balancing the power of various noble families in Jinghua City. It seemed true now.
But Chen Xiao didn’t care much. As the heir of the Lord God and someone destined to become the Lord God, would he worry about such difficulties?
Moreover, he was now the master of the Thousand Souls Domain. At worst, he could retreat there. With two Level 9 Ye Dragons present, probably few people in the world of superpowers would dare to cause trouble there.
“Well then, you must be the leader of the Black Tiger Gang?” Chen Xiao looked at the burly man.
“Sort of,” the burly man nodded. “Wanhu, a Level 6 Beast Tamer.”
“A Beast Tamer?” Chen Xiao was surprised. He had thought this man was a martial warrior, not realizing he was actually a rare Beast Tamer.
There were four main categories of superpowered individuals: spellcasters, martial warriors, beast tamers, and summoners. In the world of superpowers, spellcasters and martial warriors were the most common, while beast tamers and summoners were extremely rare.
