Shadow Hack - Chapter 786
Chapter 786: Snowstorm
“You still have many wives behind my back!”
“No, definitely not.”
“I don’t believe! You went out on a single trip and gave birth to a daughter. Who knows how many other illegitimate children you have that haven’t told me about!”
Li Yunmu was flying through the sky toward the south of the Land of Ice while Brunhilda, clad in silver battle armor, holding a silver spear in her hand, was chasing after him and questioning him with an ugly complexion.
“No, really no,” Li Yunmu awkwardly replied, feeling regretful in his heart about not directly rejecting that woman in the Dragon Silk Palace.
Once Li Yunmu told Brunhilda everything, for the next several days, she had many misgivings as the rightful wife and kept constantly asking questions about his illegitimate daughter.
Li Yunmu swore to her repeatedly that he only had that one illegitimate daughter.
He really only had one illegitimate daughter with the dragon lady of Dragon Silk Palace. Afterwards, he had married Yuan Biyao and Ling Youren, who were spirits of the ancient secret method. Nothing had happened between them, but even if anything had happened, he could not produce any heirs with them.
When he thought about that, Li Yunmu discovered that he already had four formal wives, and that was without counting Dragon Silk Palace’s dragon lady or Ling Shuang and Ling Yuerou on Earth.
[Youngster, you have had many romances and have many women. Given this speed, your harem will not be peaceful,] the system said in his mind with a ridiculing tone.
“Shut up!”
When Li Yunmu heard the system’s vice, he got even more irritated.
“What? Now you are telling me to shut my mouth? Bite me!”
Behind him, the divine energy accumulated in Brunhilda’s body exploded. Her cape fluttered in the wind, and the silver spear in her hand shone with a brilliant radiance. Its silvery light rushed out directly toward Li Yunmu’s back.
When it collided with his silhouette, it dissipated into specks of light and scattered in the air.
Li Yunmu was thrown fifty meter forward, toward a snowy peak, and he anxiously said, “My dear, I have already told you everything. Just now, it was not you that I was telling to shut up!”
Brunhilda’s face was icy cold, and she wasn’t hearing anything Li Yunmu said. She swung the silver spear in her hand, forming a spinning top with her body as the axis.
In the world of ice and snow, the spinning top rotated at a high-speed, and the energy of the world was absorbed at the tip. It created a powerful pressure that was on the verge of exploding.
The next instant, the spinning top disappeared in mid air.
[Ha ha ha ha, youngster, I want to see how will you get out of this matter,] the system mocked him again, taking delight in his misfortune before quickly hiding.
Li Yunmu was continuously cursing the system for inviting trouble while attentively looking around his surroundings, on the guard for Brunhilda’s divine skill.
As an ancient god of Scandinavia, Brunhilda was born as a god and possessed boundless divine power. Compared to ordinary people, she was a second generation god born with a golden spoon in her mouth. She possessed innately formidably bloodline and divine power.
If ordinary people wanted to become battle sages, they needed monstrous talent as well as fabulous luck. And even then the probability of them rising above the great circle of sage flux expert and becoming a half god was less than the probability of finding a qilin. The path to reaching half step god was paved with human bones.
Above the half gods were gods and ancient gods who were only born innately or were the heirs of ancient gods.
Li Yunmu’s primary wife and Athena were second generation gods who were born as gods and as time passed, they rose to ancient gods without facing any tribulations.
Compared to Athena, Brunhilda loved war more. She challenged many gods with her silver spear, and all of them had been ancient gods. Because of that, Brunhilda’s strength was only below that of Odin and Zeus and evenly matched with that of Thor.
At that moment, Brunhilda had turned into one with her spear and unleashed her enormous strength after being provoked by Li Yunmu’s ‘shut up’.
Li Yunmu couldn’t resist the full strength attack of an ancient god without using the demonic energy. However, he could not use the Dark State because even if his strength increased by ten folds, he would lose his consciousness.
He did not want to turn into a ruthless monster when he was battling his first wife. He could not hurt her.
Since he could not attack, he could only defend.
Li Yunmu felt increasingly more bitter in his heart. What was even happening? A careless slip up had caused him to encounter such treatment.
He vigilantly looked around the sky where Brunhilda had disappeared after fusing with the spear, but found no trace of her. There were no energy fluctuations in the surrounding space.
After a moment, Li Yunmu felt a sensation of intense crisis, and his eyes went wide when he saw a silver spinning top rotating in the sky, its pointed tip descending toward his face.
“You’re crazy! Little Bu, you are really going to kill your husband!”
A hint of shock appeared in Li Yunmu’s eyes, and he quickly used Heavenly Insect Step to retreat. With each step, he left behind an afterimage identical to his original appearance.
The silver spinning top advanced in the direction in which Li Yunmu was retreating while destroying the afterimages created by Heavenly Insect Step.
“Yes, I am crazy. Rather than letting you sow wild oats outside, it would be better if I cut the weeds and eliminated the roots completely.”
When Brunhilda’s words faded in the air, the silver spinning top’s speed increased, and the snowflakes drifting down were absorbed by it. Instantly, a change occurred in the surroundings. The snow lying on the ground was also drawn into the sky, forming a tornado due the suppression of worldly energy, which quickly rushed toward the direction in which Li Yunmu was escaping.
“Crazy, truly crazy,” Li Yunmu mumbled, feeling cold air pass through his groin while he used Heavenly Insect Step to escape.
He personally witnessed the power which could affect the heaven and earth produced when Brunhilda performed a man-spear unification and it finally converged to form a tornado. It appeared to be completely ordinary, but in truth it contained an immeasurable amount of divine power.
It gathered at the periphery of the snowstorm while containing the laws of nature. They were acting as the blade, and if an ordinary god was drawn into the snowstorm, they would be injured and then instantly annihilated.
Even if Thor and Brunhilda were equally matched, not even Thor would dare to let himself get caught by the snowstorm. Once he entered, he would leave with only half a life.
Li Yunmu had not expected that Brunhilda would really attack. Yet after using the man-spear unification, she used a divine technique with enormous destructive power.
Even Li Yunmu would have to shed a layer of skin if he got caught by it.
“Crazy, really crazy.”
Li Yunmu was still mumbling to himself when he used Heavenly Insect Step with full strength to retreat, covering several tens of meters in one step.
Although the snowstorm was enormous, it had a fatal weakness, which was its speed. When Brunhilda used man-spear unification, her speed increased greatly, making it hard for people to capture her, but that was not all.
