Soul Beast Ice Turned Out to Be a Bodybuilder Frog

The Sawtooth Flood Dragon let out a thunderous roar, twisting its thick body as it slithered toward Yuan Luo.

"First Soul Skill, Sharp Gold Soul Blade!"

Yuan Luo did not hold back. This time, he wanted to test his own strength.

A golden blade appeared in his hand, and his entire aura underwent a tremendous change.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Three streaks of golden blade light flashed, attacking the Sawtooth Flood Dragon from three directions at once.

Golden light spilled across the ground, illuminating the entire iceberg.

The attack was sharp and fierce, carrying a biting chill.

Bang!

The three golden streaks struck the Sawtooth Flood Dragon, instantly leaving bloody wounds across its body. Blood flowed out, staining the ground red.

"His!"

The Sawtooth Flood Dragon trembled in pain.

Flesh was clearly visible in the wounds, which had cut at least ten centimeters deep.

The sharpness of Yuan Luo's First Soul Skill was anything but ordinary. Especially after consuming the Dao Soul Fruit, his understanding of the metal element had become even more flexible.

It had doubled the sharpness of his attacks. This Sawtooth Flood Dragon only withstood it because of its high cultivation; if it had been a five-thousand-year soul beast, it would have been cut cleanly in half.

The Sawtooth Flood Dragon flicked its tongue, its snake eyes glaring viciously at Yuan Luo.

Suddenly, the Sawtooth Flood Dragon darted forward, its tail whipping through the air with a thunderous crash.

It wanted to attack Yuan Luo with its tail.

The tail swept up waves of snow, filling the air and obstructing his vision.

Yuan Luo pushed off the ground, trying to evade the massive tail.

But the Sawtooth Flood Dragon was, after all, an intelligent soul beast.

Just as Yuan Luo rose into the air, the huge tail shifted direction as if it had eyes, lashing upward.

Yuan Luo was slightly taken aback. This big worm was actually somewhat clever.

Unfortunately, it had met Yuan Luo.

Yuan Luo moved his right hand, and his entire body suddenly slid in the opposite direction.

Looking closely, a string of golden threads gleamed faintly in his right hand.

As the golden thread tightened, Yuan Luo shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow, evading the Sawtooth Flood Dragon's attack.

Then he slashed with the golden blade in his hand. The blade light lit up the horizon, carrying boundless force as it struck at the Sawtooth Flood Dragon.

"His!"

The sharpness of the golden blade was no joke. The Sawtooth Flood Dragon's tough hide was sliced open as easily as tofu, and blood poured out without stopping.

Yuan Luo had aimed for its vital point just now, but the Sawtooth Flood Dragon had dodged too quickly, preventing a fatal strike.

Still, it was enough. That blow had sunk a quarter of the way into its body, and the Sawtooth Flood Dragon had grown much weaker, no longer as ferocious as before.

Quickly widening the distance between them, Yuan Luo brought his hands together. As he retreated, several slender golden needles appeared.

These needles were only as long as fingernails. If one did not look carefully, they could barely even be seen, as thin as sewing needles.

These were the finest needles Yuan Luo could condense. They were probably three times stronger than the ones he had condensed before.

"Go!"

Yuan Luo shouted softly, thrusting both hands forward.

Countless golden needles rained down upon the Sawtooth Flood Dragon like a storm, and innumerable wounds instantly appeared across its body.

There was no longer a patch of white snow beneath it. Everything had been dyed blood-red.

"Roar!"

The Sawtooth Flood Dragon howled miserably in pain. This attack had wounded it badly.

Even though it was an eight-thousand-year soul beast and defense was its strong suit, Yuan Luo's sharpness was the greatest counter to defense.

"Already can't take it?"

Yuan Luo looked on mockingly. It seemed his strength was pretty decent—at the very least, he could defeat a Soul Ancestor.

Just as Yuan Luo was letting his thoughts wander, an enormous snake tail swept toward him.

Yuan Luo had not guarded against this at all.

He raised both hands before his chest in a hasty block.

Then, as though struck by a massive truck, his body was sent flying.

It smashed a huge hole straight through the iceberg.

"Cough, cough!"

Yuan Luo spat out shards of ice and glared furiously at the little Sawtooth Flood Dragon.

It seemed he could never let his guard down, no matter when. He had not expected the Sawtooth Flood Dragon to launch one last counterattack before dying.

Yuan Luo had used his Second Soul Skill just now; otherwise, he would have been seriously injured.

Having unleashed that attack, the Sawtooth Flood Dragon lay on the ground like a dead dog, taking in more air than it exhaled.

Not long after, a purple Soul Ring appeared above its body, emitting an eerie violet glow.

"Was that really necessary? I hadn't even wanted to kill you. But you attacked me, and now look at you—you've used up every last bit of strength you had."

Yuan Luo shook his head with a sigh of regret.

After putting away the corpse, Yuan Luo did not even spare the Sawtooth Flood Dragon another glance.

Its meat was fairly good, but its Soul Ring did not suit him.

Following the glacier onward, there should have been a cliff ahead, and the Soul Beast Ice should have been on the cliff face.

Gnawing on chicken in one hand and striding forward, Yuan Luo looked down over the land from atop the iceberg.

Emmmm...

Once one stood atop the highest peak, all other mountains looked small!

The ancients had not deceived me!

Before long, a sheer cliff appeared before Yuan Luo—Ice Cliff.

Ice Cliff was formed entirely from solidified ice, without even a trace of stone within it.

It was somewhat similar to a horst from geographical knowledge.

Yuan Luo was feeling rather frustrated. Where the hell was the Soul Beast Ice supposed to be?

There was not even an opening in this Ice Cliff. Not a single Soul Beast could be seen anywhere in the entire area, so how could there possibly be any Soul Beast Ice?

After searching for half an hour, Yuan Luo lay on the chilly Ice Layer, chewing on some kind of meat.

An hour had passed, and aside from the Ice Lotus in his hand, he had found nothing.

This Ice Lotus was only a few decades old, but soaking it in water for Old Jack could still prolong his life, so Yuan Luo had picked it casually.

If the Ice Lotus could speak, it would definitely say: Thank you so much!

"Ribbit!"

Just as Yuan Luo was about to leave, the sound of a frog came from nearby.

He had not expected there to be a Soul Beast in this place, and his brows rose.

Boom!

Halfway up Ice Cliff, a massive block of ice shattered into several pieces!

A cave entrance roughly the size of a person was revealed.

The entrance was pitch-black, but under the sunlight, the scene inside could barely be made out.

The figure of a huge green frog, two meters tall, emerged.

It walked entirely upright on its hind legs. Its two forelimbs had degenerated from long disuse.

They lacked the flexibility and strength of normal limbs, yet they were even more terrifying.

Its hands had nearly turned into fists, clearly because it often attacked with them.

Other than muscle, there was not a trace of fat anywhere on its body. It was a living, breathing Bodybuilder Frog.

The tendons throughout its body had split into countless branches, meaning its body was agile and highly adaptable.

It could be called a fighting frog among frogs.

Yuan Luo faced it as if confronting a great enemy. This frog posed a tremendous threat to him; he was afraid he could not defeat it.

That was right—Yuan Luo likely truly could not beat this frog. It radiated the aura of an eight-thousand-year Soul Beast.

And it was not an ordinary eight-thousand-year Soul Beast.

It was leagues beyond that Sawtooth Flood Dragon from earlier.

The frog crouched on its hind legs, and in the next moment, it shot directly into the sky.

Snowflakes began to fall wherever it passed.

The temperature gradually dropped, and even the remaining water vapor in the air condensed into tiny ice particles.

When the frog landed, the ground instantly sank by a meter, leaving the entire ice surface shattered and ruined.

Yuan Luo quickly retreated. It seemed this was the Soul Beast Ice.

Grandmaster had previously drawn a picture of it, but Yuan Luo had mistaken it for a toad because its body had looked too bloated.

It was nowhere near as nimble as the frog before him. Yuan Luo even felt as though that toad had been genetically modified.

"Croak!"

The frog let out a loud cry and exhaled a blast of cold air from its mouth.

The cold air rapidly condensed, and ice arrows shot out one after another.

Yuan Luo quickly dodged, widening the distance between himself and the frog.

Countless holes appeared in the ground, leaving it battered and ruined.
