Ji Ning’s eyes were filled with surprise as he raised one hand, and a mysterious wind blew in from outside the window, diverting the ice spike’s direction.
The ice blade penetrated the adjacent wall like a nail, shattering into water.
The man frowned slightly and wanted to strike again, but Ji Ning said, "Take it outside."
Immediately after, the man’s pupils dilated, and he quickly sidestepped just as he heard the sound of a door opening.
The back door of the villa was already open.
A speed superpower user?
The man was on high alert, his face taut with tension, glaring fiercely at Lin Chengsheng not far away.
He had been tricked by him!
He had been monitoring the Lin Family’s Old Mansion for many years.
One could say he was intimately familiar with both the inside and outside of the Lin Family.
The last time this young girl found an Outer Continent spy at the Lin Family and discovered the Lin Family’s secret passage, it had made him wary and ever watchful of the Lin Family.
So when this young girl arrived, he immediately began monitoring near the Old Mansion.
Sure enough, she secretly entered the secret passage with Lin Chengsheng.
When he tried to probe further into their surveillance, he encountered a more powerful spiritual power attack. Luckily, he withdrew his spiritual power quickly, suffering only minor injuries. Had he been slower, he might have been reduced to idiocy.
Fearing to probe further, he waited at the secret passage’s exit.
He had already developed a fear of this young girl’s strength, but he hadn’t expected her spiritual power to be so formidable, or that she was a multi-system superpower user. None of this had Lin Chengsheng disclosed when in the Old Mansion.
Having long monitored the Lin Family, he rarely interacted with the outside world, thus his information was much outdated.
Lin Chengsheng did this on purpose!
Deliberately leading him to provoke such a powerful figure to rid himself of the surveillance.
These thoughts flashed rapidly through the man’s mind, and he looked at Lin Chengsheng with anger in his gaze.
Before he could act, Ji Ning’s voice came from outside: "What are you dawdling for?"
The man clenched his fists and quickly ran out the back door.
Since becoming a superpower user, no one had dared show him such disrespect.
Such recklessness!
It was winter, Beijing had already seen two snowfalls, and there was still unmelted snow along the roadside.
The man placed his palm on the ground, and a layer of crystalline ice formed on his fingers.
The snow under his palm floated to his hand, soon forming a hard ice blade.
Ji Ning sneered, and the ice blade in the man’s hand instantly turned to melted snow on the ground.
At the same time, the man deftly dodged a suddenly appearing flame, glaring in anger.
Not far away, a woman carrying a vegetable basket ran over with a solemn expression, standing in front of Ji Ning.
The small flame at her fingertip had not yet faded.
The man, over the past few years, naturally knew the woman’s identity.
A superpower user of the Bai Family.
"This is a guest of our Bai Family," said Aunt Zeng nervously.
This man before her, she had seen him before, was the Lin Family’s highest skilled superpower user.
It was said he had reached above ten tiers, how did Ji Ning provoke him?
Unable to handle this person herself, she could only bring up the Bai Family, hoping the man would show leniency for their sake.
The man snorted coldly, his gaze passing Aunt Zeng to look at Ji Ning behind her.
Simultaneously, he recklessly flung the ice blade in his hand towards Aunt Zeng.
Aunt Zeng’s strength was not on par with his, even with her counteracting Fire Element, she wasn’t his match.
Ji Ning pushed Aunt Zeng aside, extending one hand, fingers splaying open, as an invisible force instantly evaporated the ice blade.
Her red lips parted slightly, her cool voice light as the wind, "Unleash—"
The man’s face grew more serious, but before he could retaliate, the energy around him suddenly vanished, as if an invisible barrier had confined the space he was in.
The man’s face fell, as he clenched his fists hard, staring daggers at Ji Ning opposite him.
He roared in anger, "What did you do?"
Ji Ning’s lips curved into a smile.
She had merely used Space Ability to transfer the energy around him to another space.
This inspiration had come from Bai Yulin’s superpower.
Bai Yulin was able to manipulate others into bearing injuries for him through Space Ability.
Seeing the man’s fear, Ji Ning asked him, "What is your relationship with Pan Min?"
The man paused, incredulously retorting, "You think I’m in cahoots with Pan Min?"
"Aren’t you?" Ji Ning’s tone carried a hint of provocation.
The man immediately snapped in anger, "I am not one of her petty ilk! How dare she be associated with me?"
A gleam flashed in Ji Ning’s eyes, "So you’re not working together?"
"Nonsense!"
The man glared at her again.
Ji Ning continued to ask, "What are you doing lurking within the Lin Family?"
"Hand over what you’re holding!" the man suddenly shouted angrily.
Ji Ning lifted the black box, smiling slightly, "Do you know what this is that you want it?"
The man pressed his lips together, after a moment of silence he said, "Whatever it is, it belongs to the Huazhou Alliance."
