Extreme Cold Hell

As the countdown ended, the Hunter III Type brandished its greatsword, unleashing a chilling aura that instantly transformed the confined space into an area of frigid cold comparable to the Arctic, with frost clinging to the surrounding walls.

Su Linna's abilities...

The Hunter absorbed Su Linna's abilities and energy, and was replenished by Blessing Spell, so it can basically be seen as a mechanical version of Teacher Su with four times the energy.

However, Luo Jun was prepared for this and immediately dropped a Earth Chess Piece to block the Blizzard that followed.

Standing protected by the barrier, Luo Jun marveled at how intelligent the Elemental Construct Box was; it could not only block physical attacks but also eliminate potential dangers.

Despite the freezing weather outside, the temperature inside remained normal, with not a trace of cold air penetrating.

As for attacks like Blizzard, ice spikes, and Ice Bomb, they were completely blocked by the barrier and posed no threat to Luo Jun whatsoever.

As expected of Legendary Treasure Item, it's Trump Card Chess Piece. Luo Jun has had it for so long, yet he hasn't encountered an enemy capable of breaking through its barrier.

After unleashing a barrage of Ice Magic, the hunter on the other side probably realized it was futile and stopped. But as soon as the attack opened up, Luo Jun burst out of the barrier, rushing in front of the hunter like a phantom and kicking him!

Boom!

The immense force sent the hunter flying backward, crashing into the edge of the arena and knocking off a significant amount of the ice shards hanging there.

As Mechanical Assassin specifically designed to target Cultivators, the Hunter's body is crafted from special materials, boasts astonishing power, and possesses formidable hand-to-hand combat abilities. However, that's in comparison to ordinary Cultivators. Compared to Luo Jun, who has already reached the fifth level of the Body Tempering Art, this powerful Mechanical Assassin is not much different from a domesticated hen.

However, this shield is indeed a bit tricky.

Luo Jun looked down at his feet. The kick he had just given him had completely ruined the soles of his shoes, exposing his feet. He could feel the cold touch of the ground beneath his feet.

Such a powerful kick, yet the opponent's shield remained steadfast; the "powerful" description wasn't just empty talk!

Luo Jun snorted coldly, "I'd like to see just how strong you really are!"

Whoosh!

Barefoot, Luo Jun smashed the ice surface and charged towards his opponent like a cannonball.

The hunter charged back, raising his broadsword for a thrust, but Luo Jun dodged it, grabbing the hilt with his left hand and throwing a punch with his right!

Boom!

The hunter was sent flying again, but the large knife remained in Luo Jun's hand.

Just as the hunter crashed into the wall, before it even hit the ground, Luo Jun rushed forward and slashed horizontally with his sword!

Clang!

The blade was blocked by the shield, unable to advance even an inch closer to the hunter's body. But Luo Jun had plenty of strength, swinging his broadsword in a series of horizontal and vertical strikes, constantly depleting the shield's energy.

Although the attack couldn't penetrate, the impact was real. The hunter bounced back and forth between Luo Jun and the wall behind him like a ping-pong ball. As the bounces increased, fine spiderweb patterns began to appear on the wall, spreading outwards.

As they fought, Luo Jun suddenly felt a chill rush towards him.

They're about to unleash Ultimate Move!

He decisively withdrew his attack and retreated, followed by a streak of icy blue light that chased after him, with Ice Spike over ten feet long rising from the ground along the way!

The Ice Spike looked frightening, but Luo Jun knew that they were just the aftershocks of the move. The real Killing Move was the icy blue light wave!

With his exceptional perception, Luo Jun knew that it should be extremely pure Icy Protective Qi... The Elemental School can use qi to simulate the attributes of corresponding elements. The higher the purity, the stronger the power, but the greater the consumption!

Retreat back to the Earth Barrier!

Luo Jun retreated at full speed, but the icy blue aura was even faster, catching up before he could retreat. Luo Jun thought to himself, "This is bad!" and with a powerful leap, he shot towards the barrier!

In mid-air, the Icy Protective Qi caught up with him, and Luo Jun was instantly covered in a layer of frost. However, he quickly disappeared into the protective Earth Barrier.

"Joke... that's pretty cool..."

Luo Jun felt his limbs stiffen and trembled as he got up.

Although the frost on the skin had faded, reddish-purple marks from frostbite were still visible.

I just felt like I'd walked into a freezer with my bare bottom exposed. My body was freezing and aching. If it weren't for the energy circulating in my body to protect my internal organs, I probably would have been frozen solid!

To be honest, with Luo Jun's current physique, even if he stood shirtless on the ice field, he'd only feel a slight breeze, and being doused with liquid nitrogen would be like an ice bucket challenge... The fact that this Icy Protective Qi could cause him frostbite goes beyond just the low temperature...

The Body Refinement Realm still has its limitations; the vital energy can only protect the body. If one reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm, with protective qi, one can at least hold out for a while...

Luo Jun plunged his knife into the ground, releasing a Warm Mist Turret. While treating his frostbite, he circulated his qi to dispel the cold from his body. In the meantime, he glanced up at the barrier. Under the impact of the cold, the Earth Barrier was also covered in frost, and its stable energy began to waver slightly.

The cold air is so strong...

However, after using this move, the opponent's energy must be almost depleted...

Seeing that the cold had dissipated and his frostbite had been almost healed, Luo Jun once again leaped out of the barrier.

Because of a layer of frost, the outside world was not visible from inside the barrier. Luo Jun broke through a thick layer of ice to emerge and found that the Arena was filled with huge blocks of ice, looking like a Underground Cave!

Good heavens, the terrain has completely changed...

But where are the hunters?

Luo Jun leaped onto an iceberg, intending to search for his opponent from above.

Before he could even regain his footing, the iceberg beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble. Luo Jun quickly steadied himself and looked down to find that the iceberg had actually "stood up"!

That's right, this isn't an iceberg, but a Ice Snow Giant nearly ten meters tall!

Looking around, the other ice blocks also came to life, some turning into Ice Wolf, some into Ice Tiger, and even some into Frost Giant Eagle that could fly!

All Ice Element? Is this Elemental School or Creation Faction?

Stunned, Luo Jun was besieged by a large number of Ice Elemental Monster!

Although these monsters were powerful, they were still no match for Luo Jun's power. However, these were not ordinary creatures. Even if the Ice Element creations had their heads smashed, it would not affect their movement. Defeating them was not difficult, but killing them completely was not so easy!

And that's indeed a huge number!

Moreover, they also need to find the hunters hidden in this icy and snowy landscape!

This guy is stalling for time!

Luo Jun realized that the hunter knew it was no match for him and planned to drag things out until time ran out so they could both perish... But even so, the Main Quest would be completed, and Luo Jun could return to the Main World safely.

However, this means the Side Mission to kill the veteran will not be completed, and the rewards will be reduced!

Trying to play dirty tricks on me? I'll find you!

Thinking of this, Luo Jun dodged the attacks of numerous Ice Elemental Monster, took out the Elemental Construct Box, and with lightning speed, sent five chess pieces flying towards the dome!

Five Flame Turret appeared instantly, and Explosive Bullet detonated continuously among the Ice Element, flames sweeping outwards. The shattered ice fragments that Luo Jun had destroyed rapidly melted and evaporated under the intense heat...

With the combined efforts of the Flame Turret and Luo Jun, the climate of the icy Arena reversed, and the ice melted rapidly. Meanwhile, Luo Jun, relying on his extraordinary perception and reaction speed, searched for the hidden hunters!

Finally, Luo Jun discovered a black dot behind the melting ice!

He stomped on an Ice Elemental Monster, using the recoil to propel himself forward and slam the pursuer into the wall.

"Gotcha!" Luo Jun sneered, "Who told you to be dressed in black? You're too conspicuous in the snow!"

The hunter had exhausted its energy; even if it had several times the energy of Su Linna, it couldn't sustain such a waste.

Seemingly knowing that escape was hopeless, the hunter simply grabbed Luo Jun and wouldn't let go no matter how many punches and kicks he received, relying solely on his shield to hold on.

Luo Jun was fighting with great enthusiasm when he suddenly realized something was wrong: his vital energy was being drained abnormally!

Looking down, one could see an energy bar on the hunter's spine, steadily increasing...

This guy is absorbing my vital energy? Even Body Refinement Realm can absorb it?

However, Luo Jun wasn't worried. The basic Yuan Qi in his body was only at the lowest concentration. Even if he absorbed it, he wouldn't be able to use it to exert any abilities. At most, it could be used to enhance his physical strength, but even if it was enhanced, it would still be far inferior to Luo Jun's physical strength!

Luo Jun continued his attack without a care, and soon he found that his energy was no longer being lost, while the Hunter's energy bar was full.

Is it full already?

Luo Jun was taken aback. He felt that only about 20% of the total volume had been lost... This thing's capacity is a bit small...

But then he thought about it again. After breaking through to the fifth level, his Qi was already close to five thousand, and even two-tenths of that was a thousand breaths. For most Cultivators, this was far beyond their limit!

When this hunter was designed, it was already overpowered for normal Cultivators, but unexpectedly, it encountered an even more overpowered monster!

Under Luo Jun's attack, the Hunter's shield finally gave way and shattered completely. Its "fragile" body was exposed to Luo Jun, who smashed it to pieces with two punches, rendering it completely useless.

Looking at the hunter slumped in the corner, Luo Jun frowned slightly.

The mangled body, besides crackling with arcs of electricity, also oozed red liquid...

Coolant? Lubricating oil? No!

Luo Jun twitched his nose.

The smell of blood!

His eyes widened, and he tore open the hunter's remains, revealing fresh human tissue inside!

It turns out this wasn't a pure robot, but Biochemical Monster created by combining machinery with human tissue!

Come to think of it, how would a purely Mechanical Body store energy and unleash its abilities? With human tissue, it makes sense... And the source of that tissue is obvious—it must be those Vital Energy Cultivator who were hunted!

"[Metropolis]... it's really a rather uncomfortable world..."

The mechanical parts have been destroyed, but the human tissue is still clinging to life; the battle is far from over...

Luo Jun sighed, stomped on the stone, and blood splattered everywhere. The words "The winner is Black Side" appeared, and the scene returned to the chessboard.
