Chapter 2161 - 2160: Barrier
Ling Feng froze for a moment, while Hans became even more smug, laughing as he said, "I’m done chatting with you, I’ve still got two little beauties waiting for me!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, his body turned transparent, then vanished completely.
Right after that, the chair he’d been sitting on crackled and spat out a bunch of sparks.
Ling Feng felt it was a bit strange, then suddenly sensed that the temperature around him was a little high, and the other electrical appliances in the room also started shooting sparks.
Only then did he realize the temperature in the office was soaring at a crazy rate; in the blink of an eye, some flammable items had already gone black and begun to smoke.
"So this is what they call divine power?"
Ling Feng paused for a second, then, without another word, took out several water-attributed Five Elements Fruits from the Space Bracelet and casually tossed a few out.
The Water of the Five Elements quickly filled the office and instantly halted the rise in temperature.
Ling Feng stood in the water, but could still feel the temperature rapidly dropping.
He had already tried to teleport out earlier, but simply couldn’t use it at all. This really was a barrier, cutting off all energy communication with the outside world; even his Divine Sense couldn’t break through the barrier’s restrictions.
Turning around and walking a few steps in the water, Ling Feng came to the office door. He tried the handle and found that the door simply wouldn’t open.
The barrier was this room, and the room was the inside of the barrier.
Once he figured that out, Ling Feng didn’t panic. He thought to himself, I don’t believe I can’t get out of here. Once I’m out, I’m definitely going to make that Hans suffer a bit!
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt the temperature plummeting!
The Water of the Five Elements was actually starting to show signs of freezing!
Ling Feng’s heart stirred, and he immediately took out some earth-attributed Five Elements Fruits.
In an instant, a layer of soil appeared on the floor, and then all the Water of the Five Elements was absorbed into it.
The temperature in the room was still very low, but not to the point of making him uncomfortable.
Ling Feng let out a snort and said, "You little punk, trying to use a combo of ice and fire on me? You have no idea how well I’ve mastered the Five Elements, do you?"
Having tried both high temperature and low temperature without making Ling Feng suffer in the slightest, the barrier seemed to have no other tricks, and things temporarily calmed down.
Of course, Ling Feng had no intention of just sitting around. He immediately summoned Tian Lian out, and had Ah Min and Yao come out as well.
Tian Lian was linked to him in mind and heart, and had already explained the situation to the two women, so as soon as she appeared, Ah Min hurriedly asked, "Boss, what do we do, how are we getting out of here?"
"Don’t panic. A barrier is also maintained by energy. As long as its energy is used up, it’ll naturally dissipate, and then we’ll return to the real world!"
Ling Feng said this, then looked at Yao. "You really were right; things aren’t as easy as I thought they’d be!"
"Mm."
Yao wasn’t nervous either. She nodded and said, "This guy named Hans is indeed very crafty, but it doesn’t matter. Even if he runs to any corner of Earth, I believe you’ll still be able to catch him!"
"Exactly!"
Ling Feng nodded, then drew the God Slayer Saber. "That guy said when he left that he wanted me to taste the flavor of divine power. If this really is a barrier created by the God Race, then I can use this to give it a try!"
With that, Ling Feng flicked his wrist and a blade aura shot out in an instant!
"Boom!"
The blade aura struck the office wall with a dull bang.
A deep saber mark appeared on the wall, then slowly began to heal.
Ling Feng sneered, and blade aura continued to blast out one after another. In the blink of an eye, that saber mark had been expanded to over two meters long.
He had already thought it through: the way to break a barrier was to drain its energy. Since the barrier had self-repairing abilities, he would use that very feature to exhaust it.
At this moment, Tian Lian also summoned out her life-bound Bronze Cauldron and began to absorb energy.
Ling Feng hadn’t expected she could do this and was rather surprised.
But he had no time to ask questions now. His hands never stopped; he kept sending blade aura out, expanding the gap in the wall again and again.
The speed of recovery was nowhere near the frequency of the blade aura, so that opening grew larger and larger, quickly spreading across the whole wall.
Finally, when Ling Feng swung out the last slash of blade aura, the entire barrier collapsed with a thunderous roar. Everyone just felt a flash of dazzling light, and then the room quickly returned to calm.
The room was still the same room, without any changes. The saber marks from just now and the Earth of the Five Elements on the floor had all vanished.
"So it was actually pretty simple."
Ling Feng smiled, his expression relaxed.
"I don’t know if Hans has gotten word yet. You’d better hurry and find him. Ah Min and I will stay here and see if there’s any data we can download!" Yao said immediately.
"Alright!"
Ling Feng knew he couldn’t delay. Hans was extremely cunning; if he slipped away, catching him again would be anything but easy!
So he immediately activated his Divine Sense and began a carpet-style scan of the buildings around this skyscraper.
Meanwhile, Yao and Ah Min quickly pulled out their equipment and hooked up to the network cable.
Within Ling Feng’s Divine Sense, he soon located Hans. The guy really was with two blonde beauties right now, the three of them in the middle of a wild romp!
Confirming his position, Ling Feng let out a cold laugh. Inwardly, he thought, I don’t believe this one is still a hologram. Let’s see where you run this time!
He didn’t need to worry about Yao and Ah Min’s safety, so he left the office directly. After returning to the rooftop, he immediately jumped onto Ghost Dragon’s back.
The distance wasn’t far, just a matter of moments, but Ling Feng still chose the fastest way.
As soon as he reached the rooftop of that building, he saw Hans, panic written all over his face, jumping naked off the bed and fumbling to get dressed.
Ling Feng was puzzled. He had no idea how Hans knew he was already on his way over, but that posture clearly screamed "escape"!
Ling Feng gave a cold snort and watched as Hans hastily pulled on his clothes and bolted into the elevator, then pressed the B2 button.
Seeing this, Ling Feng went straight downstairs and then arrived at the Second Layer of the underground parking lot.
He had just reached the elevator doors when he heard a ding.
Hans rushed out in a panic, only to run straight into Ling Feng!
Their gazes met, and all of Hans’s previous smugness vanished. He was so scared he almost fell on his ass!
"Why so nervous?"
The more flustered the other party was, the more amusing Ling Feng found it, so he looked at him and asked.
"Y‑you, you can’t kill me!"
Hans stared wide-eyed, backing away slowly as he spoke.
"Why? Do you have some kind of Death Exemption Token?" Ling Feng asked with a cold smile.
"..."
Hans froze, then as if remembering something, reached to his waist, fumbled around, and pulled out a black metal item. "I do, this is my Death Exemption Token!"
Ling Feng paused and looked closely, only to realize it was an emblem issued by the Pantheon Hall!
He’d seen this thing online before; when it had triggered a worldwide wave of hype, he’d paid special attention to it.
Recognizing it as the Pantheon Hall emblem, Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and asked, "So what, that barrier was set up for you by the Pantheon Hall too?"
