Arriving at the Demon-Monster Hall (Combined)

"Crack!"

A crisp sound like shattering glass rang out.

Chen Ping'an, watching from afar, suddenly had his pupils contract as a chill shot up his spine.

To his horror, he discovered that at some unknown point, Zhang Tie's thick neck had become covered in a layer of crystalline ice armor!

Even Powder Bone's fangs, capable of crushing gold and iron, had only barely managed to crack that seemingly thin, brittle layer of ice armor with her full-force bite. After her sharp teeth pierced the ice, they left only a few shallow white marks on Zhang Tie's bronze skin, like a dull blade dragged across hard wood.

Her strike having failed, two points of scarlet evil flame seemed to ignite deep within Powder Bone's crazed eye sockets, her bloodthirsty instincts utterly overwhelming what little reason remained.

Without the slightest hesitation, she opened her massive, fang-filled mouth again and viciously bit toward Zhang Tie's neck, now stripped of its ice armor!

"Hmph!" Zhang Tie snorted disdainfully through his nose.

Powder Bone, about to bite down, shrieked in agony as though pierced by countless needles.

The Chaos Divine Thunder was incomparably tyrannical. The instant it made contact, it scorched the blood-fiend red light gathered around her fangs until it hissed and smoked.

The intense paralysis and bone-deep burning pain twisted and convulsed her entire
