"What's wrong?" The refugee asked, puzzled, when he saw the car in front of him stop.
"It looks like someone is blocking the way."
Everyone looked ahead and saw a solitary figure standing quietly in the torrential rain.
His figure was concealed by a black raincoat, and his aura was restrained.
Although there is no energy fluctuation, it can make the surrounding rainwater consciously avoid it.
Even the weakest child among the thousands of famous people could recognize this person's strength.
After the engine was turned off, apart from the sound of the pouring rain, only the suppressed breathing and heartbeats of the more than a thousand refugees remained.
The man in black robes slowly turned his head.
It was a face whose exact age was hard to discern, with well-defined features, deep-set eyes, and calm, unwavering gaze that swept over the jeep and the ready-to-fight Xiao Zhan before finally settling on Li Yu.
His gaze was neither sharp nor murderous; it held only an arrogant indifference, as if nothing in the world could catch his eye.
It is precisely this absolute confidence that sends chills down one's spine.
"Li Yu?"
The other person's voice was not loud, but it had a strange penetrating power. Every word seemed to drain everyone's strength, causing waves of dizziness.
Many refugees turned pale instantly, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed.
"Yes. It's me." Li Yu responded indifferently, without saying another word.
He opened the car door but didn't get out. Instead, he shifted to a more comfortable position, casually placing one foot on the wet ground outside the car.
In such a somber atmosphere, this gesture appeared utterly nonchalant.
The man in black robes frowned slightly, inwardly scoffing:
"Arrogant!"
A hint of scrutiny finally rose in those previously indifferent eyes, more so the displeasure that came from being utterly disregarded.
For someone to be so arrogant, they must either be hopelessly stupid or have the capital to be arrogant.
Clearly, Li Yu's reaction exceeded his expectations.
So the man in black didn't waste any words and directly introduced himself:
"Ranked eleventh on the Popularity List, Han Qing, the 'Shelter from the Cold Mountain'."
"I've been asked to come and ask you to stay."
The man in black robes spoke in a calm tone, as if he were recounting something that was bound to happen.
However, that disdainful attitude was also extremely arrogant, seemingly a silent response to Li Yu's actions just now.
His gaze swept over Xiao Zhan, who stood beside Li Yu as if facing a formidable enemy, and Bai Ya, who was still sitting in the car.
Although the energy fluctuations emanating from the two individuals were not to be underestimated, he was absolutely confident that he could kill Li Yu alone even when facing a three-on-one attack.
"Han Qing?" Xiao Zhan was also taken aback when he heard this, not expecting that the person who came would be him!
A top expert on the Central Plains Power Ranking, known as the strongest person below the top ten!
Han Qing once declared that only those who defeat him on the Wind and Cloud Ranking are qualified to fight against the top ten!
For a time, countless challengers came, and he actually managed to keep everyone outside the top ten.
Its strength is evident!
Xiao Zhan had heard about the feud between the Ao family and Li Yu, but he never expected that the Ao family would actually be able to hire such a person.
A hint of shock flashed in Bai Ya's eyes. The other party's aura and strength were clearly stronger than his, and he was also a well-known figure ranked eleventh on the Fengyun Ranking.
To maintain this ranking, they must have something special to offer and should not be underestimated.
However, when Bai Ya caught a glimpse of Li Yu beside him, who seemed to be half asleep, the tension in his heart inexplicably dissipated.
With this unfathomable star lord around, there seems to be nothing to fear.
"Eleventh on the Popularity Ranking?"
Li Yu's voice rose slightly, as if he had heard something interesting, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "It seems that the Ao family is really in a hurry this time, and has finally decided to send some capable people."
He completely ignored the aura emanating from the other party, and even more so, the deeper meaning behind the word "stay." Instead, he stared directly at Han Qing, his golden-white eyes carrying an almost languid, inquisitive gaze:
"What's the matter?"
The nonchalant tone caused a noticeable ripple on Han Qing's calm face—a surge of anger and coldness that arose from being utterly disregarded.
Li Yu's contemptuous attitude completely ignited the displeasure in Han Qing's heart!
Han Qing's restrained aura suddenly erupted as if a seal had been broken!
A tremendous energy spread wildly outwards from him!
His gaze was like a knife, fixed on Li Yu, and he repeated himself again, word by word, with utmost seriousness:
"Come! I'll kill you!"
Before he could finish speaking, Han Qing made a move.
He simply took a step forward.
"Buzz—!"
As he took that step, the rain-sheltered area that had originally only covered him by about a foot suddenly expanded outward by a factor of two! It formed a clear dividing line with the torrential rain outside.
"Then let me see the true strength of this so-called Central Continent Star Lord—"
"Hanchuan!"
With a low shout from Han Qing, the numerous raindrops that had been pushed out of the domain suddenly began to spin and condense wildly inward!
Han Qing instantly injected rainwater, which instantly formed dozens of high-speed rotating water blades outside the rain shelter area.
This is not a simple control of elemental abilities, but rather the direct use of one's own energy to forcibly mobilize the elements of heaven and earth for one's own use.
The power of the ninth rank was fully revealed!
"Li Yu, your journey ends here." Han Qing declared as if delivering a verdict, then slowly raised his right hand and pressed it down hard towards the jeep.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
Countless water blades shot towards Li Yu in the jeep, slicing and shredding him.
They were determined to cut him and his car into countless pieces!
