178: Chapter 178

"Leave this place to me."

"Be careful, his strength is much greater than yours."

Gui Jianchou nodded: "I possess the Flying Shadow Armor; he cannot kill me. Even if I cannot take him out, I can still hold him off."

Shadow sneered contemptuously: "When did you learn to play the hero saving the beauty? You really have wised up after going to the Demon Emperors Tomb with the snake demon."

"Cut the crap. The Saintess has shown me grace; it's not something you heartless, shameless scoundrels can compare to."

"With me here, you aren't going anywhere today."

Gui Jianchou turned into a pool of black slime and lunged at Shadow, covering everything in his path with the slime.

And the attacks Shadow launched at him were perfectly blocked by the Flying Shadow Armor.

Having gained freedom, Tian Kui quickly rushed to the side of several fox demons and killed a Seventh-Level Ghost King with a single palm strike.

"Follow me..."

"Understood, Saintess!"

Tian Kui led the eight fox demons to chase after Feng Yun; she had a fiery personality and no hidden agenda, fearing they might fall into an ambush.

After the fox demons left, Gui Jianchou increased his offensive, and two Sixth-Level Ghost Kings and one Seventh-Level Devil King were instantly swallowed by the black slime.

The entire main hall was covered in black slime; Shadow circled in the air, anxious and angry, but helpless.

"Dragon Emperor, are you not going to make a move yet?"

The Dragon Emperor had already made his plans; he smiled indifferently: "Grand Elder Shadow, this is a matter internal to the Ghost Race."

"Gui Jianchou is merely a Protector; how could he be your match? If you can't even handle him, it brings shame to your reputation as a Grand Elder."

The Dragon Emperor waved his hand, signaling Ao Wuming to take Ao Xue and leave the place, leaving the entire main hall for the two experts of the Demon Race to duel.

Shadow gritted his teeth and cursed: "Shameless old thief, using me as a tool."

Xiao Bai was locked in a fierce battle with Ice Demon in the air; it was a bit of a stalemate, with neither side gaining any advantage, when Ao Wuming quickly came to support.

"Brother Bai, I'm here to help you. How dare a mere Ice Demon show off his skills? Watch how my brother and I take care of you."

Ice Demon's expression was cold, his whole body emitting a chill, and the surrounding air quickly condensed into frost.

His right palm quickly sucked up the water from the Dragon Palace pool, condensing it into a small iceberg in his palm.

"Overconfident little golden dragon, are you here seeking death? You are far worse than this snake demon; go back and train for another few thousand years."

Ice Demon threw it with force, and the iceberg flew toward Ao Wuming, pressing him firmly underneath.

Ao Wuming carried the Dragon Abyss Spear on his shoulder, resisting the pressure of the iceberg, but his body fell rapidly; he simply couldn't hold it.

"Brother Bai, help! This damn thing is so heavy."

Xiao Bai was speechless; this guy was basically just feeding the enemy. Regardless of the opponent's strength, he would just blindly rush in.

Xiao Bai transformed into a giant python and used his diamond-like giant tail to continuously strike the iceberg.

After a short while, several large cracks appeared, and Ao Wuming used the Dragon Abyss Spear to shatter it completely.

"Brother Bai, let's take him together. This bastard is playing dirty."

Xiao Bai shook his head helplessly: "Why don't you go deal with those Ghost Kings and Devil Kings? You're just getting in the way here."

"The Dragon Abyss Spear is wasted in your hands. All you do every day is visit brothels instead of diligently practicing your spear techniques."

Ao Wuming scratched his head in embarrassment: "I originally thought that when the Saintess said to practice spear techniques hard, she meant going to brothels."

"I really want to kick you to death. What kind of bullshit comprehension is that? Get out of here now."

"Yes, then I won't hinder Brother Bai's performance."

Ao Wuming decisively retreated, leaving Xiao Bai in a cold sweat; Ice Demon was about to launch a move, and he still wanted to rush straight in.

He had never seen someone so reckless; he was truly the honey badger of the Dragon Clan, ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Ice Demon took this opportunity to recover some mana. He had thought he could take down Xiao Bai quickly, but he hadn't expected him to be so troublesome.

"The snake demon has some ability. Other ordinary Ninth-Level Demon Kings cannot withstand ten moves in front of my powerful ice magic."

"You've seen it today."

Ice Demon left a harsh threat: "Today, you must be buried with those dead members of the Demon Race."

"Among the teams heading to the Demon Emperors Tomb, the Demon Race had the largest number, yet they were completely wiped out in the end; it must be you who interfered."

"Rapid Ice Storm."

The ice dragon transformed by Ice Demon rotated rapidly around Xiao Bai, forming over a dozen storm tornadoes around him.

Goose-feather-sized snowflakes began to drift in the sky, causing the air in this area to condense instantly.

Xiao Bai couldn't stop shivering: "It's fucking cold."

Ice Demon continued to wreak havoc in the air, increasing the storm's output, and the immense wind force swept over a large number of leaves.

The leaves instantly froze solid; a light touch would turn them into ice powder.

More than half of Xiao Bai's body was frozen; the extreme cold penetrated to the bone, freezing him so much that he couldn't exert any strength.

"This must be at least minus sixty degrees."

Ao Wuming used the Dragon Abyss Spear to whip out nine golden dragons to come and rescue him, but they were all frozen; any object approaching this area would instantly freeze.

Ice Demon wanted to freeze Xiao Bai to death inside, and the dozen or so surrounding storms were like a barrier, preventing Xiao Bai from escaping the area.

"Snake demon, I know you have transformation techniques, but I won't give you that chance."

Ice Demon shouted: "Contract of Snow!"

A giant snowflake pattern instantly appeared under Xiao Bai's feet; in this area, his transformation techniques and Invisibility Technique were basically ineffective.

Only by using the diamond giant python form could he better resist the extreme cold; if he didn't find a way to break it soon, he would be frozen stiff all over.

Now, only his two eyes remained unfrozen; Xiao Bai felt a sense of powerlessness, unable to move his whole body.

This was much more powerful than Ji An's Blood Demon Great Art.

"What a formidable freezing technique; there is a significant gap between the strength of a Ninth-Level Demon King and the quasi-Emperor Realm."

"I'm frozen purple; if it weren't for my defense system being greatly enhanced, I would have been frozen to death long ago."

Chapter 236 Fire Overcomes Ice

At this moment, Xiao Bai wished so much for a fire to appear; even the weak heat of a small match would be great.

But all this was wishful thinking; trapped inside the Rapid Ice Storm, even without the Contract of Snow, Xiao Bai dared not transform into other forms, as the extreme low temperature would freeze him rapidly.

He felt his eyelids were very heavy, already unable to open normally, and his whole body was frozen stiff.

Ice Demon laughed heartily on the side: "Overconfident snake demon, even if you have mysterious and unpredictable transformation techniques, you won't be able to leave today."

Ao Wuming saw it clearly from not far away and sighed: "It's completely over now; I can't save Brother Bai either."

Two Devil Kings behind him suddenly launched a sneak attack on him; their sharp weapons pierced his tough scales but were deflected away.

"These two bastards dare to play sneak attacks? I can't beat the Ice Demon, but can't I handle you?"

Ao Wuming quickly launched a counterattack, swinging the Dragon Abyss Spear to launch over a hundred consecutive strikes at the two Devil Kings, stabbing them until they were battered and bruised, yet he still couldn't vent his hatred.

Xiao Bai felt a warmth in his heart and thought it was an illusion; as the temperature continued to rise, he could slowly open his heavy eyelids.

A thick layer of ice had already formed on top; every breath Xiao Bai exhaled turned into frost. At this moment, he was an ice-sculpted giant python, floating motionless in the air.

A small lotus platform flew out from Xiao Bai's body, and Huo Linger stood on the lotus platform, stretching.

"I was really frozen silly just now; I almost forgot about this little guy. Don't look at how tiny it is; it is the genuine Samadhi True Fire."

The thick ice on Xiao Bai's chest was melting rapidly; Huo Linger kicked hard, and a small hole immediately appeared in the giant ice block.

Then it quickly rotated and flew across Xiao Bai's frozen body.

Crack! Crack!

One could clearly hear the sound of the ice shattering; in the blink of an eye, all the ice on Xiao Bai's body shattered.

The situation, which was firmly in his control, had actually reversed; Ice Demon immediately reacted and was no longer beaming with joy.

"Damn it, where did this little flame come from? It's not even as big as my toe, yet it has such power."

"Snake demon, I said it! Today you must die; I will never let you escape."

"Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar!"

The cloak on Ice Demon's back fluttered continuously, and eighteen ice dragons darted out from within, letting out dragon roars as they flew toward Xiao Bai.

Huo Linger rotated its body rapidly, meeting the attack head-on like a Wind-Fire Wheel.

When the ice dragons touched it, they instantly melted into gas, without causing any ripples.

"My powerful ice magic was actually countered by a little flame; I must think of another way."

"Since it's fire, it must be afraid of water; I'll temporarily avoid the edge and find the Dragon Clan for help."

Xiao Bai chased after him with all his might: "You want to run after acting cool? It's not that easy."

"Huo Linger, hurry up and follow, stop eating."

The mischievous Huo Linger was eating the dozen or so Rapid Ice Storms set up by Ice Demon. In a short while, it had eaten them all and even spat out a large amount of hot water, probably because it wasn't to its taste.

A great battle broke out in Dragon City, and Ao Wuang ordered a large number of his subordinates from the Dragon Clan to dive to the bottom of the water to take refuge.

The Dragon Palace was engulfed in raging flames, and a lot of gold began to melt, forming large amounts of molten gold on the ground.

The various clans that had come from afar to attend the banquet suffered heavy casualties; they had only been focused on watching the excitement, and now it was too late to retreat.

In the Peak duel between experts, it was these bystanders who suffered the most tragic casualties.

Ice Demon flew quickly to the Dragon Emperor's side.

"Please, Dragon Emperor, take action to control that little flame; it extremely counters my Freezing Great Art. Leave the snake demon to me."

Seeing that the Dragon Emperor was indifferent, Ice Demon began to show his sincerity.

"As long as the Dragon Emperor takes action, I am willing to offer one thousand spirit coins on the spot. Once the snake demon is completely eliminated, I will continue to offer generous gifts."

The Dragon Emperor didn't stand on ceremony either and readily accepted the bag of spirit coins.
