How could Edward know that the reason Xie Feng was angry was because he was screaming loudly in the wee hours of the morning?
This guy not only tried to kill Gu Qianxue, but also had evil thoughts towards her and Xie Yao. As for the third woman, Xie Feng does not know who she is but he does not care either. All he knows is that this blond man must pay the price for his own choices.
“Damn it! Don’t be such an arrogant brat!”.
Hearing Edward’s angry cry, Xie Feng looked up to the sky and saw that as Edward fell, a huge wave of water had formed behind him.
The wave of water was at least 10 meters high and if it fell to the ground it would surely cause the death of many people in the vicinity.
Still, Xie Feng shook his head and took a hand out of his pocket. His eyes glowed slightly again and a gale shot out of his hand.
*Swoosh!*
Within a second or two, the gale had turned into a huge air barrier several feet above the ground. The barrier was so big that it covered several hundred meters and was so strong that anyone could see the wind dancing in the same place over the sky.
*BOOM!*
The wave of water over ten meters fell hard on the wind barrier created by Xie Feng and a huge explosion occurred as a result of the collision.
Xie Feng squeezed his hand while pointing at the sky and the barrier moved like a living being. At first it was a barrier in a straight line horizontal to the ground, but the next moment it was transformed into something similar to a container, trapping all the water inside.
With one movement of his hand, all the water dispersed into small drops of water and fell to the ground slowly as part of the storm.
Although all of this may take time to explain, it really only took three or four seconds from when Edward was sent flying to when Xie Feng stopped the attack.
*Swoosh!*
A column of water rose from the ground and stopped Edward from falling. He looked at Xie Feng with his eyes wide open and cried out in disbelief: “Who the hell are you? None of the ESPERS of China could stop my attack casually, not even the Empress of Fire! But you, a mere ESPER of aerokinesis can? That is impossible!”.
Edward’s voice sounded desperate. But it is also understandable, since the attack that Xie Feng just casually stopped could shake a building and destroy houses as if nothing had happened.
The reason why Edward can be called the seventh strongest ESPER in the United States is because not only are his attacks diverse, they are also powerful and his survival is very high because as shown before, whenever and wherever there is water around him, he can reform his body again.
Of course, he has limits and is not eternal. But no doubt it is enough to give his enemy a headache thinking about how to deal with him.
Anyone else would have died by the time Xie Feng’s fist hit their head and made it explode.
That’s also why Edward was so surprised and scared. Although he never faced the strongest ESPER in the United States, he believed he could at least fight for several minutes.
However, the young man in front of him was so frightening that his strength could not be explained in any logical way!
Xie Feng was already getting tired of this person so he simply replied: “Didn’t you see my pictures? I guess the people who hired you should have told you who owns the house you were about to attack”.
At first, Edward was stunned. But then his eyes opened wide. He finally recognized who the person in front of him was.
However, that is also impossible! He clearly saw the picture of Xie Feng and he was just a simple looking young man. But Edward can see that although not extremely handsome, the young man’s face in front of him was not as normal as it looked in the pictures his contractor gave him.
Seeing that Edward was silent, Xie Feng decided it was time to end this once and for all.
“If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself and your bad luck for waking me up in the middle of the night”.
After saying those words, Xie Feng ignored Edward and started walking slowly towards his villa.
“Wai-“
Edward tried to say something but soon, his voice stopped. His eyes opened in disbelief as he raised his head rigidly.
*Boom!*
There, just above the clouds in the sky one could see a giant and terrifying whirlwind spinning. The lightning was dancing in and out of the whirlwind and the clouds were swirling around it.
Edward tried to run away but unfortunately for him, a wall of wind completely surrounded his surroundings, isolating him from the storm and the water.
Edward could not help but fall to the ground with a desperate look and as he watched the young man’s back disappear into the darkness, he muttered: “Damn this monster…..”.
Those were his last words before the vortex pressure sent him flying through the air. Soon, his body was struck by hundreds of lightning bolts, slashed by thousands of wind blades and crushed by the terrifying pressure of the whirlwind.
Not even a drop of blood touched the ground.
***
Actually, Edward was not weak at all.
Xie Feng believes that any other Chinese ESPERS would have a headache dealing with the blond man. The only person who could defeat him without too much trouble would be the Empress of Fire, Yao Mei.
Although it is true that Edward’s special power was being reinforced by the storm, his ability to survive was terrifying. Not only his head, Xie Feng even exploded his body into pieces but the man still continued to breathe like a cockroach.
Therefore, the only option that Xie Feng found possible was to isolate him from the water and crush him with overwhelmingly superior force.
For Xie Feng, everything that happened tonight was just an interlude and soon left it in the back of his mind.
He went to the kitchen, grabbed a cup and poured juice into it. After drinking it, he poured more orange juice for Gu Qianxue.
From the time Xie Feng left the room until now, only one or two minutes had passed.
When he returned to the room he saw that Gu Qianxue was sitting on the bed, apparently waiting for him.
As she felt the sound of the door opening, her little nose moved slightly like a little puppy and soon she recognized the smell that she could not forget.
Gu Qianxue simply smiled sweetly and thanked him when he handed her the cup with the juice.
However, Xie Feng soon found something strange.
Gu Qianxue brought her nose to the edge of the glass and seemed to smell something.
“Qianxue, is something wrong?”. He asked in confusion.
Gu Qianxue shook her head quickly to indicate that everything was fine. She moved the cup to another position and then began to drink the juice.
Xie Feng couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her finish all the orange juice in one gulp. She looked really thirsty.
He and she went back to bed and, as usual, Gu Qianxue held on to one of Xie Feng’s arms tightly.
He could clearly feel two big soft mountains pressing against his body. Although Gu Qianxue has the innocence of a girl in her early teens, her body is certainly that of a fully grown woman.
At this point Xie Feng would like to be like S*n G*ku and ask for the power of humanity but not to form the G*nk*dama, but to resist the impulse of his thoughts.
***
The next morning (An hour and a half later).
When Xie Feng comes down the stairs after finishing his shower, he hear the television on.
“At 4:30 AM today, an unusual phenomenon occurred in the vicinity of downtown Shanghai. A vortex of wind suddenly appeared over the city sky only to disappear the next second. According to the experts of the meteorological department, this phenomenon is quite common when two opposite wind currents collide with each other causing a spiral and immediately disappear if both wind currents had the same strength. This was also supported by China’s highest authority, Sr. Gu Pojun, assuring citizens that there is no reason to fear….-“.
“Big brother Xie Feng!”. Xie Yao’s slightly altered voice made Xie Feng look in her direction and stop paying attention to the commentator.
Xie Yao ran towards him with tearful eyes and hugged him tightly.
Xie Feng smiled bitterly and hugged her gently while assuring her that everything was fine.
Natural phenomenon? For other people perhaps those words are enough. But Xie Yao knows Xie Feng better than she knows herself.
She knows that while she was sleeping warmly the person she loves most was protecting her and Gu Qianxue in the middle of the storm.
But she is weak. She is just a normal person and can’t do anything to help you. In the real world she is like that, in the virtual world she is like that too.
For the first time in her life, Xie Yao wished for strength. Even when her parents passed away, she didn’t want to have so much power.
Real power, to be able to support the person she loves.
