The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

Esdeath is known as the strongest Teigu user and was previously sent to the north to subdue alien tribes.

There were legendary heroes stationed there, and the expedition was expected to take a year, but Esdeath killed them all as soon as she arrived.

Even the so-called hero was beaten to a pulp; Esdeath was a typical warmonger.

He cared nothing for politics or power; his entire life revolved around conquering the battlefield and crushing the enemy.

Therefore, she never cared about the actions of her ministers.

They only thought about eliminating the enemy.

In her view, punishing night raiders and arsonists was just another part of her ruthless treatment of her enemies.

……

……

Esdeath and her men were preparing to return to the Imperial Capital.

The three beastmen rode their warhorses, followed by soldiers.

They won another victory and will receive many rewards upon their return.

Esdeath smiled, feeling extremely pleased with herself after torturing her enemy for so long.

At the same time, she also wanted to do other things, such as falling in love. Most girls of Esdeath's age already have the initial concept of love.

Esdeath was no exception, but she was too strong, and no one was worthy of her.

Suddenly, Esdeath seemed to sense something and immediately raised her hand.

"Everyone stop!"

The group of people who were moving forward suddenly stopped in their tracks.

With her orders obeyed, Esdeath, as a general, trained her soldiers very well and also treated them like her own children.

She admires the strong, and anyone strong will receive appropriate treatment under her command.

Money, power, and strength can all be obtained if you are strong enough.

"Master, what happened?"

A middle-aged man with white hair near Esdeath spoke up.

The middle-aged man's name was Liva.

Formerly Brand's superior, a wise and brave former Imperial General, he was framed and arrested for refusing to pay a bribe. He was later rescued by Esdeath and became loyal to her. He is also the leader of the Three Beasts.

"I never expected that a fish would take the bait at this time. This must be the petty thief the minister was talking about?"

On Esdeath's path, a young boy was sitting there.

Beside him was a long sword case.

The newcomer was Lu Mingfei, and the sword box next to him contained the alchemical weapon Seven Deadly Sins.

"What a foolish fellow! How dare he show himself at this time."

Niu, one of the three beast warriors, revealed an evil smile.

At the same time, I also lamented the other party's foolishness.

As members of the Three Beast Warriors, they were well aware of Esdeath's terror.

These petty thieves didn't run away; they actually came to our door. What else could this be but stupidity?

Lu Mingfei simply watched the army in the distance.

Waiting quietly.

Lu Ming was determined to ambush Esdeath, for a simple reason: she was his enemy.

A dead enemy is the best enemy.

Moreover, Esdeath will kill the loyal retainers and frame Night Raid after returning.

Dying here is the best outcome.

"Hahaha, my master sent me to meet that idiot."

One of the Three Beast Warriors, Daidas, spoke with a fighting spirit.

He is a battle maniac who enjoys fighting strong opponents to increase his experience points. He encountered Esdeath during his martial arts training journey, was defeated in battle, and swore allegiance to her from then on.

Esdeath nodded.

"Go! Let me see just how strong those petty thieves who have been causing such chaos in the capital are!"

“I will offer that man’s head to you, master.”

Daidas let out a wild laugh, spurred his horse forward, and charged towards Lu Mingfei in the distance.

Lu Mingfei's eyes were filled with indifference as he looked at the approaching enemy.

With the Seven Deadly Sins activated, Lu Mingfei drew his Fury sword, a horse-slaying blade that could transform into a raging dragon and unleash dragon breath sword energy.

Daidas's Imperial Arms are two large axes called "Belvak"—an axe-type Imperial Arms that can only be wielded by those with superhuman strength, but also possesses extremely high attack power. It can be split in the middle into two axes and thrown out, and as long as it has strength, it can track the enemy.

"Hahaha, you little thief, die!"

Daidas threw one of the two large axes in his hand.

The axe spun continuously in the air, then chopped directly at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei stood still, but just as the axe was about to hit him, he stretched out his left hand and firmly caught the flying axe.

This swift and decisive action shocked Daidas.

"How can this be?"

"You are too weak."

Lu Mingfei sighed.

Daidas was indeed too weak, or rather, the physical power system of this world was too weak.

No matter how much you train, your own strength can never surpass the concept of a human being.

Words of power, in an instant.

Lu Mingfei immediately activated the acceleration mode, speeding up the pace by hundreds of times.

His figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was behind Daidas.

Daidas, who was riding his warhorse, was turned into a palm-sized piece of flesh.

In an instant, Lu Mingfei unleashed hundreds of slashes.

None of the onlookers in the distance could clearly see Lu Mingfei's attack.

Because the attack was just too fast.

Even Esdeath couldn't see it clearly, only vaguely sensing the hundreds of attacks.

"interesting!"

Esdeath was now certain that the person blocking her path was a powerful individual.

An absolutely powerful individual.

"It's your turn."

Lu Mingfei looked at everyone in the distance and spoke, his voice not loud, but it echoed in everyone's ears.

Golden eyes gazed upon everyone.

Upon seeing those burning golden eyes, everyone unconsciously lowered their heads.

That was fear of wild beasts.

It's like a newborn baby seeing a tiger in the mountains.

Only Esdeath managed to keep her eyes glued to the screen.

But her rapidly beating heart told her she was going to die.

Her body was trembling—was it excitement or fear?

"What is this feeling? My heart is beating so fast! It's been so long since I've felt this way, not even when I encountered a super dangerous species."

Esdeath worships the strong, believing that the strong dominate the weak and that the strong should conquer everything.

Lu Mingfei gave her the feeling of a strong person, but Esdeath would not admit defeat. So what if he was strong? She would kill him and torture him.

"attack!"

Esdeath charged forward first, drawing her military knife in the process.

The sharp military sword is forged from fine steel. Although it is not as powerful as the Imperial Arms, it is comparable to some Imperial Arms.

The surrounding air began to get a little cold.

This is Esdeath's Imperial Arms.

Chapter 440, Ice and Fire

Esdeath's Imperial Arm is Demon Manifestation: Devil's Essence, an extremely terrifying ice-based Imperial Arm.

It was forged with the blood of a legendary super-dangerous species that lived in the far north. The mark on its chest was formed after drinking the blood. It can freely create and control ice and is called the strongest Teigu by Najenda.

Esdeath will then create two powerful secret techniques.

Secret Technique 1: "Mokpa Temo" freezes time and space, making it impossible for anyone to move except the user, but it consumes a huge amount of energy, and even Esdeath can only activate it once a day.

Secret Technique Two: "General of Ice Storm" - First, use ice to create a large number of "ice cavalry" to store several days' worth of energy, and then release it all at once to create a blizzard covering the entire empire.

Lu Mingfei looked at the army rushing towards him with no fear in his eyes.

"Actually, even I don't know how strong I am now. The power system of cultivation is incredibly terrifying. Once you reach the Golden Core stage, you can move mountains and fill seas, ascend to the heavens and burrow into the earth, and your lifespan can exceed five hundred years. You could say that you've already transcended the level of 'human,' and I'm also a monster."

The dragon blood within Lu Mingfei's body was boiling wildly.

Because it's getting colder and colder around here.
