Ice Emperor Breaks Free! Is There Truly Such a Monstrous Person in the World?

Chapter 39: The Ice Emperor Breaks the Seal! Was There Really Such a Monstrous Genius in This World?

"Can you really break my seal?"

Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, Hai Bodong's gaze flickered, and he was clearly somewhat shaken.

Hai Bodong felt hesitant. Emotion Value +80

"Do you know who placed this seal on me?"

However, Hai Bodong's eyes soon revealed a trace of mockery as he laughed. "You're just a brat, yet you dare claim you can break a seal that I've been unable to do anything about for decades?"

Hai Bodong felt disdainful and doubtful. Emotion Value +80

"Heh, it seems I'll have to reveal my cultivation to make you believe me..."

Hearing Hai Bodong's mockery, Gu Fei chuckled and shook his head. At the same time, he stopped deliberately concealing his cultivation aura.

An overwhelmingly domineering aura spread from his body. In an instant, Hai Bodong froze in place, his pupils dilating.

"How is this possible?"

"Even the Medusa Queen of those days wasn't this powerful!"

Hai Bodong felt horrified. Emotion Value +80

"This boy is so young, yet he possesses such terrifying strength. Perhaps he really can break my seal!"

A trace of hope rose in Hai Bodong's heart, though he was also deeply wary of Gu Fei at this moment.

A monstrous genius like Gu Fei had practically overturned everything he believed about the world.

Hai Bodong felt anticipation and wariness. Emotion Value +80

"Heh, old sir, there's no need to worry. Since I said this would be an exchange, I won't resort to forceful robbery..." Knowing Hai Bodong's emotions, Gu Fei spoke with a faint smile.

At those words, Hai Bodong also breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Fei intended to seize it by force, there would truly be nothing he could do. After all, judging by the aura Gu Fei had revealed just now, even if Hai Bodong had not been sealed, he would still be no match for Gu Fei.

"My young friend, to be honest, I was once one of the Jia Ma Empire's Ten Greatest Experts—Hai Bodong. Surely you've heard of me?"

Hai Bodong's form of address for Gu Fei had subtly changed from "brat" to "young friend."

Moreover, when he said this, there seemed to be a trace of expectation deep within his heart.

"I've heard of you."

"The Ice Emperor's reputation is quite renowned!"

Gu Fei nodded in response.

His reply brought a proud look to Hai Bodong's face as he inwardly sighed, "Even after disappearing for so many years, my former fame is still spoken of throughout the empire!"

"May I ask where you are from, young friend?"

Hai Bodong continued his inquiry.

"I'm not from the Jia Ma Empire!"

Gu Fei answered directly, "I came here because I learned that a Heavenly Flame had appeared in the Tagor Desert. I came specifically to seek it out!"

Xiao Yi Xian, who stood nearby and listened, was not surprised. Gu Fei had already told her about his search for the Heavenly Flame.

"I see!"

Hai Bodong fell into thought upon hearing this.

He did not doubt Gu Fei's words. After all, a place like the Jia Ma Empire could hardly produce a monstrous figure like Gu Fei.

Perhaps only the vast Central Plains could give birth to such a peerless genius.

"Young friend, you said earlier that you were willing to help me break my seal. Is that true?"

The next moment, Hai Bodong finally brought up the matter of his seal.

"Of course it's true!"

Gu Fei nodded confidently.

Hai Bodong's seal had been placed by the Medusa Queen. To break it, one could either use a high-grade medicinal pill designed to remove seals or force the seal open through sheer power. With Gu Fei's current cultivation, doing so was not difficult.

"Good. If you can truly break my seal, then this fragment of the map shall be yours. Furthermore, I've stayed here for decades, so I can also provide you with information about the Heavenly Flame as repayment..."

Having received Gu Fei's affirmative answer, Hai Bodong also displayed his sincerity.

"This fragment alone isn't enough!"

After Hai Bodong named his compensation, Gu Fei smiled and shook his head. "There are some marks along one side of this map fragment that differ from those on the other side. It was clearly split apart!"

"I didn't expect this boy to be not only extremely powerful, but also so meticulous..."

Hai Bodong's expression changed slightly at Gu Fei's words, and he was once again astonished.

Hai Bodong felt shocked. Emotion Value +80

"Young friend, you guessed correctly. I did indeed split this thing into two pieces. I hid the other piece away. If you break my seal, I'll give that map fragment to you as well..."

After hesitating for a moment, Hai Bodong nodded.

Before his seal was broken, there was no way he would hand over the second map fragment.

"Then let's begin!"

Gu Fei did not hesitate. Removing a seal would not take much time.

"I wonder how you plan to break my seal, young friend?" Hai Bodong asked.

Over the years, he had constantly searched for a way to resolve the seal and had found a pill formula called the Breaking Calamity Pill.

However, he had been unable to find an alchemist capable of refining Sixth Grade pills who also possessed Heavenly Flames, and he was still missing one medicinal ingredient.

"For this kind of seal, you can simply force it open with Dou Qi!"

As soon as he spoke, a scorching surge of Dou Qi emerged from Gu Fei's palms.

The immense fluctuation of Dou Qi made Hai Bodong's face turn pale in an instant.

Before he could react, his body was enveloped by Gu Fei's powerful Dou Qi.

Immediately afterward, a vast amount of Dou Qi began pouring into Hai Bodong's body.

Before long, Hai Bodong's body trembled violently. His aged face suddenly tensed.

At his forehead, a strange dark cyan energy rapidly gathered.

A moment later, it formed a tiny dark cyan snake-shaped energy pattern.

These snake patterns were the key to sealing the Dou Qi within Hai Bodong's body.

Now, Gu Fei only needed to completely erase these snake patterns to break the seal.

"The next part may be rather painful. Prepare yourself mentally."

Gu Fei gave Hai Bodong a warning. Then, with a movement of his hand seal, a burst of energy surged out from within Hai Bodong's body.

"Ah!"

In that instant, veins bulged across Hai Bodong's body as though he were enduring immense pain.

However, it did not last long. Soon, the snake patterns were forced out of Hai Bodong's body by Gu Fei's Dou Qi.

The moment they left Hai Bodong's head, the snake patterns trembled violently before turning into a wisp of cyan smoke and slowly dispersing.

The instant the snake patterns left his body, Hai Bodong's tightly shut eyes snapped open.

A solid gleam shot from his eyes, while a fierce aura burst forth from the body that had been suppressed for decades, like a lion awakening.

"Haha, this damned seal has finally gotten the hell out!"

"This old man is a Dou Emperor once more!"

With the seal broken, Hai Bodong's face was filled with wild delight as he threw back his head and laughed loudly.
