108: The peak battle of lords!
Perhaps due to its descent from a Divine Spirit, the Maximum Comprehensive Combat Power of this Hydra Serpent was actually over 1,000 higher than Chen Mo's current level!
This was also the first time Chen Mo had encountered a creature whose Maximum Comprehensive Combat Power exceeded 10,000. (Guardians cannot observe comprehensive combat power.)
Without a doubt, this was absolutely the strongest opponent Chen Mo had faced since his Rebirth!
If they were in the ocean, Chen Mo admitted he would definitely not be a match for this Hydra Beast.
But if this giant snake dared to come ashore, then the outcome would be uncertain.
"Lion King, Lord Sea God has arrived. You cannot withstand its wrath. Let us go; this is your only path to survival."
Looking at the surging massive waves in the distance, the Sea Siren Leader's eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.
"If you release us now, I guarantee I will plead for you to Lord Sea God."
These past few days, she had noticed that the Ice Lion's personality was actually quite decent; it hadn't deliberately troubled or harmed them.
More importantly—it was also the Dominator of an Ancient Secret Realm!
It was a target worth recruiting.
Facing the increasingly rapid expansion of the Black Abyss Secret Realm, they desperately needed allies!
Chen Mo ignored the Sea Siren Leader, letting out only a deafening lion's roar as he began summoning his Dependents.
He then erupted with astonishing speed, charging toward the distant hillside.
At the same time, the Ice Lion Dependents in Frost Crane City also saw the massive waves rising from the ocean, as well as the densely packed Extraordinary Marine Creatures within the waves.
Facing the formidable and aggressive Sea Race Army, their eyes held no fear, but were instead filled with excitement.
War meant Military Merit!
Soon, Chen Mo arrived at an Empty Snow Plain dozens of kilometers away from Frost Crane City.
This was the dueling ground he had chosen for himself and the giant snake.
This place was far enough away from both the ocean and Frost Crane City.
If they fought here, even if the giant snake was defeated and wanted to escape, it wouldn't be able to return easily to the ocean for a while.
Furthermore, Chen Mo did not want Frost Crane City, which he had painstakingly rebuilt, to once again be reduced to ruins by the great battle.
———————————
The Hydra Serpent naturally sensed the Lion King's aura immediately.
Because Chen Mo used the Spirit Fusion Technique to conceal his aura, the Hydra Serpent perceived the Ice Lion as merely a Mid-level Lord Rank creature.
How dare a mere Mid-level Lord Rank Ice Lion capture its Dependents and provoke it?
Who gave it the courage!?
At this moment, the Hydra Serpent's heart was ignited by rage, and without thinking further, it charged directly toward the Ice Lion's location.
Beneath it, massive waves rolled, propelling the Hydra Serpent forward rapidly!
The Hydra Serpent had absolute confidence.
Below the King Realm, it was invincible!
Just as the Hydra Serpent was still a thousand meters away from the Lion King.
It launched the first attack!
Six Spirit Talismans appeared beneath the Hydra Serpent's neck, rapidly gathering Water-type Spiritual Power, and immediately, its mouth spat out an enormous Water Pillar, over ten meters in diameter!
[Water Dragon Cannon]
This water cannon was incredibly fast, reaching Chen Mo in the blink of an eye.
Chen Mo immediately activated [Rampage Form] and simultaneously used Wild Awakening.
After the quality of the Rampage Lion was upgraded to Green, the speed and reaction speed boost increased by about 50%.
The Lion King instantly burst forth at twice the speed of sound, easily dodging the Water Dragon Cannon attack.
Boom!
The Water Pillar spat out by the Hydra Serpent was actually like a Destructive Death Ray, devastating everything it touched with overwhelming force!
Hard rock instantly turned to dust the moment it touched the Water Pillar!
It was hard to imagine that a stream of water could erupt with such power!
The Hydra Serpent wanted to correct the direction of the Water Dragon Cannon, but found that it was unable to capture the Ice Lion's figure, let alone hit it!
This Ice Lion was too fast!
At the same time, a flock of Frost Cranes flew past in the night sky, their talons gripping strange-looking, Frost-Blue Mushrooms.
Using the cover of night, they secretly flew above the Hydra Serpent.
When the Hydra Serpent released the Water Dragon Cannon, they let go of their talons.
Consequently, countless Flash Mushrooms fell from the sky, like a rain of mushrooms.
Bang! Bang!
In an instant, countless dazzling white lights exploded.
The completely unprepared Hydra Serpent instantly fell into a Blinding State.
At this moment, its heart pounded wildly, and it vaguely sensed a massive crisis descending!
Crisis Prevision.
As a powerful existence at the Peak Lord level, it possessed keen intuition regarding crises.
And the source of the crisis at this moment was that Ice Lion!
After the effect of the Flash Mushrooms dissipated, the Hydra couldn't help but look up, gazing toward the sky above its head.
In the night sky, hundreds of frost-blue Ice Spears, each tens of meters long, suddenly appeared.
They hung high above its head like the Sword of Damocles, seemingly ready to fall and strike it down at any moment!
[Heavenly Icefall]
After practicing for more than half a month, Chen Mo was finally able to release This Spell.
However, the Casting Wind-up was a bit long, requiring a full five seconds!
And the Flash Mushrooms dropped by the Frost Crane Unit created enough time for him!
This was Chen Mo's battle plan!
At this moment, these Ice Spears had completely locked onto the Hydra Serpent!
The sense of crisis in the Hydra Serpent's heart reached its peak!
This was definitely not an attack that a Mid-level Lord Rank creature could unleash!
This cunning Ice Lion had a high probability of having concealed its Extraordinary Rank!
The Ice Spears fell at an astonishing speed.
Facing the tempest-like rain of Ice Spears, it was too late to completely dodge. The Hydra Serpent closed its eyes and moved quickly based on intuition.
Bang! Bang!
Ice crystals danced wildly.
The Hydra Serpent ultimately dodged about 60% of the Ice Spears, but its body was too massive, making it difficult to completely evade all of them.
These Ice Spears were much more powerful than it had imagined; every single one could pierce its hard scales and stab into its flesh and blood.
Two Ice Spears even pierced straight through its body, nailing it to the snow plain like two Dragon-Nailing Pillars.
Up until now, the battle was proceeding according to Chen Mo's plan.
He utilized the giant snake's arrogance and anger to lure it onto the land, far away from the ocean.
Then, relying on the brief blinding effect of the Flash Mushrooms, he successfully cast the Heavenly Icefall, directly Unleashing a Powerful Move to heavily wound the giant snake!
Facing a well-matched opponent, Chen Mo did not show the slightest carelessness.
The effect of the Heavenly Icefall was even better than Chen Mo had expected!
Under the effect of the Fishing Lion, the might of the Heavenly Icefall was astonishing, heavily injuring the Hydra Serpent with just a single strike!
After gaining the title of Fishing Lion, Chen Mo was practically a Killer of Aquatic Creatures!
Although the Hydra Serpent was a snake, it was a Water Snake, and thus also fell under the category of Aquatic Creatures!
The Hydra Serpent circulated the massive power within its body, instantly shattering the two Ice Spears that had pierced its torso, causing golden blood to flow out.
"Roar!" (You have successfully enraged me!)
The Hydra Serpent let out a roar, and an immensely strong Desire for Battle shone through its Golden Vertical Pupils.
It had originally thought this was just a Little Lion it could crush easily, but this Ice Lion turned out to be unexpectedly powerful, which greatly boosted its Battle Intent!
The Hydra Serpent quickly swam toward the Lion King, intending to engage in Close-Quarters Combat with it.
While attacking Chen Mo, the Hydra Serpent unleashed its Lords Pressure without reservation, and a mighty Serpentine Might swept out in all directions.
Seeing this, Chen Mo showed no weakness and released his own Lords Pressure as well!
