368: Take it

Bai Mo swung the "Crystal Ice" in his hand, and a cold aura emanated, rapidly freezing the lake.

An ice layer at least ten centimeters thick continuously spread out.

Bai Mo increased his power, watching the ice layer constantly spreading below.

This lake was not small; freezing the entire lake surface... that was quite a task.

However, this didn't pose a challenge for Bai Mo, especially for him, who possessed Hyōrinmaru, known as the "strongest Ice-type."

Feeling the speed was too slow, Bai Mo quickly initiated Shi Jie.

"Shi Jie · Hyōrinmaru"

"Sit upon the frosted heavens!"

After Shi Jie, Bai Mo's spiritual power surged, and the intensity of the cold aura rapidly escalated, coupled with Hyōrinmaru's inherent "Ice and Snow World" effect.

The weather phenomenon was temporary.

The ability to control the weather.

The sky in this area became a bit gloomy.

And the air temperature dropped rapidly.

Icy cold air spread.

Crack, crack, crack~

The speed of the ice layer's spread suddenly accelerated.

Within just a few breaths, most of the lake's surface was already frozen.

Judging by this situation, in a few more seconds, the entire lake would likely be frozen.

Bai Mo looked at the lake surface; it seemed quite calm.

"Oh? You're quite composed! Still no movement? Could it be that you're not home?" Bai Mo watched as the entire lake surface was frozen.

Then the thickness continuously increased, continuing to spread.

At the very center, the ice layer's thickness had already reached thirty centimeters.

Bai Mo floated in mid-air, looking at the still motionless ice layer below, thought for a moment, and then descended onto the ice surface.

"So composed..." Bai Mo hadn't finished speaking when the ice surface under his feet suddenly changed.

Crack!

Cracks suddenly appeared in the ice layer.

"Finally!" Bai Mo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly leaped to one side.

Boom!!!

A large hole burst open in the ice layer, and a huge figure rushed out.

Bai Mo looked closely, hmm, what a big Lizard!

This demonic beast indeed looked like a Lizard.

Its rough, dark gray skin appeared to have countless grainy things on its surface... someone with trypophobia would surely be agonizingly uncomfortable.

Its body was long and narrow, with a thick tail and robust limbs that were not short, allowing it to stand upright.

In terms of size, it was at least four to five meters, not counting the tail.

Calling it a Lizard, it was more like a Lizardman (refer to Spider-Man's Lizard Doctor).

"Is this a demonic beast? It's really ugly!" Bai Mo looked the opponent up and down, clicking his tongue.

Bai Mo hadn't paid attention to other demonic beasts, but this one in front of him was indeed very ugly.

The Lizard demonic beast's brass-colored vertical pupils stared fiercely at Bai Mo.

Originally, it was a happy day, sleeping soundly at home, but then a chill shot straight to its head.

It looked, and wow! Its home was completely frozen!

Could it tolerate this? The Lizard demon immediately rushed out.

Looking at the person in front of it, and sensing the icy aura from Bai Mo, the Lizard demonic beast, being an aquatic creature, was actually amphibious, though it preferred water and could breathe freely in it.

Bai Mo didn't waste any more words and directly launched an attack.

Whoosh!

Using "Spirit Shift Step," Bai Mo instantly vanished from his original spot.

The Lizard demonic beast reacted very quickly; its dynamic capture ability seemed very strong.

Its gaze followed Bai Mo's movements.

The Lizard demonic beast suddenly swiped a claw to its side; not only that, as it swung its claw, several streams of water shattered the ice surface, swirling together like several drills, attacking Bai Mo.

Bai Mo suddenly slashed out with his blade.

"Ice Ring Slash"

Whoosh! Icy blade energy cut out like a ring.

Those streams of water were directly cut apart.

Pfft!

A wound appeared on the Lizard demonic beast's hand, but no blood flowed out because it instantly froze.

The Lizard demonic beast was startled, not expecting this guy in front of it to be so strong!

The Lizard demonic beast, originally burning with rage, immediately calmed down a bit, no longer planning to "brawl" and tear Bai Mo apart to vent its anger.

Bai Mo didn't care so much; since he was close...

"Ice Dragon Whirlwind Tail"

Bai Mo slashed out with his blade; the blade in his hand condensed into ice, like a dragon's tail or a thorny whip, fiercely lashing the Lizard demonic beast's body.

Pfft!

The sharp spikes fiercely ripped off a large chunk of flesh from the Lizard demonic beast's body.

And the wounds were dense and extremely gruesome.

The Lizard demonic beast was sent flying, the pain in its body twisting its face a bit, but similarly, the pain and blood also ignited its bestiality.

"Roar!!!" The Lizard demonic beast slid a distance on the ice, its sharp toes carving a row of grooves on the ice surface, leaving ice shards where the ice was cut.

As the Lizard demonic beast erupted, Bai Mo felt the lake beneath the ice surface begin to stir.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Columns of water shot up into the sky.

Bai Mo's figure shot out, constantly shifting back and forth, dodging the sky-high water columns.

The Lizard demonic beast suddenly opened its mouth towards Bai Mo.

Pfft!!!

A thick, high-pressure impact water column sprayed towards Bai Mo.

Bai Mo suddenly leaped, twisted his body, avoiding the water column, and at the same time, using the rotational force, suddenly slashed out with his blade.

More than a dozen ice cones flew out towards the Lizard demonic beast.

The Lizard demonic beast raised a hand.

Boom!!!

The ice layer behind it exploded, and like a tsunami, a huge wave surged into the sky, pressing down on Bai Mo with a thunderous roar.

Those ice cones plunged into the sea wave, were directly dissolved by the water current's impact, and then merged into it; these water currents seemed to contain special power, as the ice cones shattered, dissolved, and became part of the water.

Bai Mo's body paused, stopping directly in mid-air, suspended there.

Facing this massive wave attack.

"Bankai: Daiguren Hyorinmaru"

Bai Mo suddenly erupted with immense spiritual power, and a vast spiritual pressure accompanied by an extremely cold aura descended with a roar.

Crack, crack~

The terrifying extreme cold coated the surging wave with a layer of frost, but the wave's power was too strong, and the frost was shattered before it could even form.

"Freeze!" Bai Mo's body erupted with powerful spiritual energy, and all this spiritual energy contained the power of extreme cold.

"Ice Dragon Whirlwind Tail Absolute Void"

Bai Mo slashed out with his blade.

The slash was accompanied by a strong freezing attack; wherever the blade tip passed would be frozen, and as the blade tip pointed, the frozen area would extend further with ice to attack.

Crack, crack!

The terrifying icy power froze this massive wave completely; the tide was frozen within it, looking incredibly magnificent.

Holy cow!? So fierce! Can't beat it, can't beat it! The Lizard demonic beast saw it and thought, so fierce! Can't beat this, gotta run, gotta run!

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Lizard demonic beast didn't want to struggle much and immediately wanted to flee.

"Want to leave?" Bai Mo's eyes flashed, and powerful spiritual energy erupted.

Suddenly rising square ice pillars simultaneously rushed from heaven and earth, trapping the Lizard demonic beast inside.
