Lin Feng himself had clearly already transformed into the appearance of a guard, and from beginning to end, he did not release a single trace of killing intent.
However, Esdeath, who was behind Lin Feng, said something like this as she walked.
"Hehe... Stop pretending, how long did you actually rehearse?"
"..."
"I always thought the ' Gaia Foundation ' had been lost for many years, but now, the Empire's Grand General has actually replicated its effects right in front of me. Am I right, Lin Feng?"
Lin Feng's transformation has already been exposed by Esdeath.
This was the first time since he transformed that someone had seen through his disguise, but Lin Feng didn't say anything and walked straight into the ' Jaegers's ' command center.
Very obediently, Esdeath followed Lin Feng inside. She wanted to please Lin Feng as much as possible so that she could convince this man.
The two walked into the ' Jaegers's' command center. A black mist dissipated, and the guard's eyes began to turn crimson. As the black mist passed through the guard's body and dissipated, Esdeath was suddenly confronted with Lin Feng's appearance.
"I'm not interested in how you found out about me; what I want to know is why you didn't expose me in front of Honest."
"I'll tell you everything at once, Lin Feng."
Esdeath glanced at a corner of the ' Jaegers's ' command center, where Bols's corpse lay.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but there were no external injuries on his body, nor were there any marks on his neck, which did not seem to be Lin Feng's method of murder.
"The reason I could recognize you as the guard at a glance wasn't because of my calculations of that newcomer's speed, but simply because of my feeling about your every move."
The reason I didn't expose you to Honest is because I didn't want him to interfere in our affairs.
Esdeath sighed deeply, looking at Bols with an unfathomable emptiness in her eyes.
"What do you mean by 'the things between the two of us'?"
"I think I don't need to say more, Lin Feng. It's very simple: who is the strongest in the empire?"
Esdeath looked up.
Her beautiful face, hidden beneath the brim of her military cap, suddenly exuded a chilling murderous aura, and a gust of extremely cold wind seemed to engulf everything in the room.
"Minister Honest has his plans, and I have mine, Esdeath's."
"I don't care at all about the rights and interests that Honest cares about, or the political maneuvering he's interested in. The country needs someone who cares about rights like that, and if that person is Honest, I don't care at all."
"What I care about is completely different from his pointless scheming and intrigue. It's about who is the strongest in the Imperial Capital, who has the absolute power to enslave all things in this world, and trample heaven and earth under their feet, Lin Feng."
Despite feeling the extremely cold sensation emanating from his body, Lin Feng experienced no discomfort whatsoever.
Faced with the power of the ' Alucard Template ', the coldness actually cooled down his warm blood, making Lin Feng feel incredibly comfortable.
"You mean you'll just go along with my plan and comply with my wishes, even if I harm your subordinates, just to make me submit?"
" Lin Feng, I'll say it again, everyone has their own desires, and the only reason they died wasn't because anyone harmed them—"
"It's simply because they're not strong enough."
Esdeath clearly gave Lin Feng a break because she wanted Lin Feng to go all out against her.
In order to reciprocate Esdeath's will, Lin Feng knew that he would not hold back in this battle.
"You can't unleash your extreme ice power in a place like this, Esdeath."
"It doesn't matter. The reason I'm called the strongest by everyone in the world is because I'm the strongest wherever I go."
A smile appeared on Esdeath's lips. Her long, icy blue hair was blown about by a sudden gust of cold wind, and the temperature around her instantly dropped to freezing.
At this moment, Lin Feng fully realized that Esdeath was now stronger than before.
This woman's growth rate was indeed astonishing, but my own growth in these short few months was also something she could never have imagined.
With a light tap of his white boots, eight rows of ice spikes attacked him from four directions.
At the same time, Esdeath lightly leaped onto the ceiling. She did not fall, but used ice to fix her hands to the ceiling, like a falcon watching Lin Feng's whereabouts.
The ' Power of Alucard ' is mainly granted through the blood of Bloodsucking. If the blood temperature is frozen by this extreme ice, it will indeed be particularly troublesome for Lin Feng.
" Form Transformation."
Lin Feng instantly shrunk into a black shadow, preparing to pull himself out from the eight rows of ice spikes, when Esdeath seized the opportunity and shot down from the ceiling in the blink of an eye.
In her hand, there was still a huge hailstone.
" Hail Fury Leaping Strike!"
The hailstones were so large that in an instant, almost all the tables, chairs, and equipment in the ' Jaegers's' command center were smashed to pieces.
A deafening roar erupted, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's dark figure darted through the hailstones, bypassing Esdeath's wrist and reaching straight for her throat.
Lin Feng had used this move to kill countless people before, but Esdeath's eyes flashed, and a layer of hard frost suddenly covered her chest and neck.
"If you want to put pressure on me, you need to materialize yourself; otherwise, how can you attack me?"
Esdeath's understanding was indeed very correct. When the ice was connected to the flesh, Lin Feng would feel the heavy pressure of the frost whenever he tried to exert force, thus losing the fulcrum for exerting force.
Sliding away from Esdeath, Lin Feng revealed his true form amidst a cloud of black mist.
Since the shadows are ineffective against Esdeath, and the previous illusions failed to bring her to her senses, let's fight with pure physical attacks from now on.
Lin Feng pulled out his white, repeating silver bullet gun, " Casull," from his left hip.
Esdeath gently waved her left hand, and a block of icy, bone-chilling ice appeared on Lin Feng's wrist where he was holding the gun. This ice swirled and coiled around Lin Feng's left arm, seemingly trying to tear it apart completely.
" Alucard..."
Lin Feng channeled Alucard's power into his left arm, and with a single tremor, shattered the solid ice in an instant.
The shattered ice shards fell like snowflakes, reflecting a shimmering, scale-like light, with the silhouette of Lin Feng's pupils reflected on each shard.
It was invariably red, just like the blood that surged on the ice flowers during Esdeath's executions.
