An Old Man's anger

The Bronzefire greatsword was fastly nearing Huo Yu Bo who was calmly standing still on the ground. With steady movements, he bent his knees and went down into a combat stance which looked just like the one Huo Shan had done. He was using the Ice Cold palm art.

The difference here was very clearly the power behind it. He had reached the awakening realm by training in the art. Only by mastering it had he reached this stage of power. The wind violently began to blow, even cutting some of the nearby soldiers who backed up.

Dark blue ice began appearing on his palms as the snow began gathering as if going to greet a friend or joining their leader in battle. The ice began to grow and crawl up his arm, all the way up to his elbows which were covered by his dark robes. The snow on the ground even began shaking as his aura grew.

"Break!!", he shouted out as he launched his attack on the greatsword. The sonic boom sounded out, shaking the houses not far from them. Some of the ice on his palm began breaking apart. Had he possessed a complete ice spirit, this may not have happened.

Regardless of the ice he still had more power, as the greatsword began cracking all the way from the tip to the hilt. In a second the sword seemed to explode, spreading shards of bronze in the surrounding area.

Seeing the broken sword right in front of his eyes, Huo Yu Bo showed a confidant and cruel smile. But before it had even taken its rightful place in his lips, his pupils shrank, an almost undetectable object was flying directly towards his face.

It was just too small and had too much speed. He didn't have enough time to raise his arms, all he could do was use his qi as a shield to cover his face and try to dodge.

Fear was evident in his eyes as he twisted his body, which resulted in him losing his former balance. Sweat littered his neck as he felt a burning feeling on his right cheek. Soon blood began running down towards his mouth. While he had dodged the object and stayed alive, he was still slightly wounded.

This only enhanced his anger as he once again looked up into the air, where Huang Yang had thrown his greatsword, yet shock hit him as he saw that Huang Yang was no longer there, he could only see the falling snow.

Without time to think and understand the situation, he felt deep gut-wrenching pain within his stomach. As if a giant warhammer had been rammed into him without him even noticing it.

He had a bad balance after his narrow dodge and his qi had only been protecting his face. This was a fatal mistake from his side. He hardly had time to take a glimpse at Huang Yang who had his hand planted deep within his stomach, before being sent flying away.

His body tumbled away while he coughed out blood which brought more color to the snow. Fear and awe-filled the spectators' eyes as they saw the scene. Without noticing it they had dropped their jaws all at once.

This young boy had just sent Huo Yu Bo, the ruler of the outer estate, flying.

Huang Yang tightened his fist a couple of times, he had likely broken a number of bones in there, but it was all worth it in the end, he had made one hell of a move, which surprised even himself.

After throwing out the Bronzefire greatsword, he had followed with another spin, where he shot out the Silent Slash sword in a hurry. It caught up with the greatsword which resulted in it striking Huo Yu Bo right after.

With Huo Yu Bo focussed on the sword, he hardly noticed Huang Yang landing and sprinting towards him. With faith in his own physical body, he allowed all of his qi to focus on one devastating attack, which would not have worked if Huo Yu Bo had taken Huang Yang seriously and just dodged.

The snow once again began falling in a natural manner as the Ice Cold palm art had stopped in one sudden moment. The fist had completely blown away Huo Yu Bo, who lost control of his qi, along with his own mind.

The middle-aged man who was quite a bit older than he looked, was now lying in the snow, outside the already broken circle of armed guards. His body was twitching a bit as blood seeped out from his mouth.

He felt as though every organ in his body had suffered a terrible fate as he could hardly stand up from the pain. He slowly turned his head to look at Huang Yang who was trying his best to keep on standing.

The strike had taken out all of his energy, and since he was already injured after the attack made by the deepwater snake, just standing straight had become a challenge in it of itself. He kept on breathing heavily while giving off steam.

Blood still hung from the young boy's mouth as he tried to generate more qi for every breath. If the spectators hadn't just seen his power, they would feel bad for the poor boy, but how could they see this kid as anything besides a monster?

"Disgusting, disgusting... DISGUSTING! How can a bastard like you touch me, I will cut you into tens of thousands of pieces you TRASH!!", Huo Yu Bo bellowed with bloodshot eyes, making him resemble a demon.

"I don't really understand this whole trash talk, but since you are bleeding I suggest you get some treatment", Huang Yang said with a voice that was neither too low nor high, which allowed others to perfectly understand his words.

Aside from his injured body, Huang Yang felt kinda good, he hadn't reverted back to the cold and emotionless state this time around, perhaps he just hated this guy too much for him to remove his anger. This man was completely unreasonable.

A burst of high-pitched frantic laughter boomed out as Huo Yu Bo's twisted eyes enlarged. He kept on laughing in quick bursts, as the pain of doing it kept on stopping him.

A slight tinge of fear was shown in Huang Yang's eyes. This reminded him of the time with Huang Zhilan, when he had completely changed into that of a demon.

While Huo Yu Bo didn't produce a green snake this time, he did stir up the winds, as snow began gathering around his body. He was slowly rising to his feet as the laughter continued.

The sudden change had caught everyone by surprise, as Huang Yang, along with the spectators and guards began backing up in silence, trying to create more distance between themselves and Huo Yu Bo.

"For what you did to me and my son, how can we live in this world together! HAHA I get it, this is my fate, to kill a demon in order to save my son, oh how the Gods work in mysterious ways!!", Huo Yu Bo laughed out loud.

His body was covered in snow, which slowly began to harden into that of dark ice with deep cracks, which made a web pattern. "Go", he screamed out.

Huang Yang's pupils shrank as he remembered the deepwater snake which was still behind him. Huo Yu Bo hadn't drawn it back!

His body reacted with haste as he turned around in fear of getting attacked by it. He knew how much power that thing could generate, and with his already low amount of qi, he would be sent flying towards Huo Yu Bo who had gone mad.

Time crawled with the slowest pace, as Huo Yu Bo's smile broadened with each inch Huang Yang turned.

Just as Huang Yang turned and stared into the bottomless eyes of the deepwater snake, Huo Yu Bo's smile froze. "ROAR!!".

Flames came flying out from behind the snake, as a crimson lion, made out of intense flames, announced its royal presence. Snow began to melt all around the area as the ice fell in chucks from Huo Yu Bo.

The flame lion gave off an incredible amount of killing intent, as its bright teeth bore into the deepwater snake with great ease. In that instance, the snake turned into nothing but steam as it floated away into the sky.

Huo Yu Bo clutched his chest and fell to the ground, blood kept on piling up in his mouth, only allowing him to puke it out.

His clothes were steaming after the overflowing heat from the tiger had melted all the ice from his body. He had never felt weaker as he desperately tried to crawl backward while keeping his eyes on the lion.

A mighty roar from the lion shook the whole estate, as a booming voice sounded out with a hellish amount of killing intent and hate.

"HUO YU BO, HOW DARE YOU HURT MY GRANDSON!!!"
