Mysterious Ice Dragon Soars vs. Ten Thousand Snake Spirit Explosion!

"Is the Ice Emperor old enough that he can still fight?"

In the fierce battle, Hai Bodong had always been suppressed, forced to use Dou Techniques to blast back Yan Lin, who was pressing forward step by step. After the two retreated to opposite sides, Yan Lin ignored the wreckage of the Ancient Map shop, which was on the verge of collapse, and instead mocked the Ice Emperor.

Despise the enemy strategically, but take them seriously tactically.

As the successor to the progenitor of guerrilla warfare, Yan Lin understood this principle well.

But how could the Ice Emperor, who had grown shrewd with age, be so easily provoked?

Instead, he admired Yan Lin. "Kid, among all the geniuses I've seen, you're the most monstrous. It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying battle. Today, I'll give you a proper fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Bodong's aura abruptly surged to its peak. Extremely cold Dou Qi coiled around him, and the counters, tables, chairs, maps, and other objects around him rapidly frosted over.

Gripping his icy spear tightly, Hai Bodong formed seals with one hand at great speed, then shouted, "Ice Spirit Armor!"

As his shout fell, the frigid Dou Qi surrounding him swiftly condensed, forming a thick suit of ice armor over the old man's body that glimmered with an icy sheen.

This ice armor far surpassed ordinary Dou Qi armor. For the Ice Emperor to treat the battle so seriously, it was clear just how much importance he placed on Yan Lin.

He was getting serious.

Yan Lin was the finest youngster he had ever seen.

He had to admit that he was not confident of defeating Yan Lin. Even so, the Ice Emperor would not shrink from battle.

He, Hai Bodong, would rather die standing than live kneeling!

"Since Old Hai is in such high spirits, this junior will naturally risk his life to accompany you."

Seeing that Hai Bodong had even used Ice Spirit Armor, Yan Lin knew that the former had become serious. He did not underestimate him and drew the other Green Profound Iron Stone Sword from his back.

With both swords in hand, Yan Lin gripped their hilts tightly. Blazing flames swiftly curled around him, condensing into a suit of flame armor over his body as well.

"Disperse!"

Yan Lin stomped his right foot hard against the ground as his shout rang out. The dense, icy mist filling the Ancient Map shop was directly evaporated by the Flame Dou Qi erupting from him. More than half of it vanished, no longer able to obstruct his vision.

Seeing the icy fog domain he had created being broken apart, Hai Bodong's expression changed once more.

Daring not to delay any longer, he swept his icy spear. Countless sharp ice spikes rapidly condensed above his head, then shot toward Yan Lin on the ground with bursts of wind-rending whistles.

Yan Lin's gaze narrowed slightly as the twin swords in his hands swung rapidly. Streaks of flame lashed outward, blasting the sky-covering ice spikes into shards of ice and puddles of water.

At the same time, Hai Bodong flashed above Yan Lin, his spear thrusting forth like a dragon.

Yan Lin tightly gripped his Green Profound Iron Stone Sword and swung it fiercely, nearly tearing through the air. It was so fast that a faint azure trail remained in its wake.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Close-quarters combat erupted once again. Yan Lin and Hai Bodong either clashed weapons or exchanged fists and kicks, dozens of exchanges passing in the span of only a few breaths.

Boom!

The two struck out with palm and fist at the same time, and the ultimate clash of ice and fire erupted in an instant. A thunderous blast of powerful Dou Qi rang out, while the violent energy shockwave directly blasted the entire Ancient Map shop apart.

Hai Bodong and Yan Lin were both sent flying backward by each other's force. Yan Lin remained calm, but the Ice Emperor was secretly shocked. What terrifying strength. His body is even more monstrous. Just who is this kid?!

Only after clashing with Yan Lin in close combat several times did the Ice Emperor clearly realize how terrifying his physique was. It was actually more fearsome than that of an ordinary magical beast.

Even with the body of a Dou Emperor, he could not gain the slightest advantage.

His strength far surpassed that of a Nine-star Peak Dou Spirit and rivaled a Dou Wang expert. Even the Ice Emperor found him troublesome, secretly wondering whether this kid was a magical beast.

"Wonderful! Again!"

The more Yan Lin fought, the more excited he became. Raising his sword, he charged forward once more. Hai Bodong's expression tightened, and he gritted his teeth as he raised his spear to meet him.

"Asura Slash!"

"Condense Ice Mirror!"

As they charged into close range, Yan Lin casually slashed out ten streaks of flame. Hai Bodong rapidly formed seals as well, condensing ten Mysterious Ice mirrors. While the mirrors blocked the attack and shattered, Hai Bodong controlled the ice fragments and sent them raining down upon Yan Lin like a barrage of arrows.

Yan Lin was forced to change his attack route, while Hai Bodong took the opportunity to leap out of the Ancient Map shop.

"Good kid, I refuse to believe that I'll be left completely unable to fight back by a brat like you!"

Enraged by Yan Lin's relentless attacks, Hai Bodong's brows rose sharply. His hands clenched abruptly, and the ice spear in his grasp was directly crushed apart. Powerful icy Dou Qi surged into the sky.

"Mysterious Ice Dragon Soars!"

As Hai Bodong's low shout fell, the energy of heaven and earth seemed to be slightly affected by his powerful icy Dou Qi. The scorching desert climate cooled drastically, and snowflakes began falling over a small area.

At the same time, an icy blue light flashed in the old man's eyes. Blue-white Dou Qi rapidly gathered around his right wrist and palm, condensing into several ice rings.

An ice dragon dozens of zhang long descended into the world, coiling above Hai Bodong's head.

Roar—

A dragon's roar shook the nine heavens!

Looking at the enormous ice dragon, the fighting spirit in Yan Lin's eyes burned ever more fiercely.

Lord Clear Mind and Refreshing Spirit's move was truly cool.

Though its full might could not be unleashed due to his restricted strength, it was still enough to make Yan Lin treat it seriously.

As the saying went, "Mysterious Ice Dragon Soars proudly through the nine heavens; who could see Old Hai without offering him a cigarette?"

Naturally, Yan Lin had to show his respect.

"Ten Thousand Snake Spirit Explosion!"

Surrounded by crimson flames, Yan Lin let out a low roar. A powerful pillar of flame shot into the sky, accompanied by the resonant cry of a python.

A bank of fiery clouds appeared in the sky above Yan Lin's head, and a gigantic flame python dozens of zhang long was born from within it.

Ten Thousand Snake Spirit Explosion was a low Earth-grade Dou Technique. Once unleashed, it could alter the heavens and earth, condense tens of thousands of spirit snakes to self-destruct, or gather them into a giant snake to fight under the user's command...

Hiss-roar—

Roar!

Yan Lin and Hai Bodong stared at each other from afar as the python's cry and dragon's roar sounded out at the same time.

The next moment, Hai Bodong controlled the ice rings in his hand, and the ice dragon above him descended. He kicked off the ground and leaped onto the dragon's head as it soared into the air.

Yan Lin likewise rode the flame python and rushed into the clouds.

Facing one another from afar, Hai Bodong and Yan Lin shouted at the same time. The ultimate collision of ice and fire suddenly appeared above Desert City.

The flame python and ice dragon roared through the nine heavens. Under the gaze of all Desert City, they battled fiercely in the skies, biting, lashing their tails, and coiling around each other.

The two unleashed every method at their disposal, beginning the ultimate duel between ice and fire.

After a long battle, the flame python and ice dragon, controlled by their respective masters, charged head-on into one another.

Boom!

A blue and a red torrent of energy collided violently. Rings of terrifying energy ripples spread out, directly sweeping away the lingering clouds for a hundred li. The violent winds even uprooted rows of buildings from the ground, stretching for thousands of meters.

The flame python and ice dragon fought fiercely, but in the end, Yan Lin had the upper hand.

The flame python directly smashed apart Hai Bodong's ice dragon, blasting the latter down to the ground.

With an earth-shaking bang, dust and smoke billowed from the ground. Terrifying energy waves tore up nearly half a meter of the surrounding earth.

A deep pit several meters wide appeared faintly amid the dust. Yan Lin landed heavily, and the gust of wind he raised blew the dust away.

Looking down at the old man in the pit, blood flowing from his forehead and the corner of his mouth, he calmly announced the outcome of the battle.

"Ice Emperor, you lost."
