"Roar—!!!"
Seeing that the ice spikes couldn't harm the tiny human, the Titan Snow Demon began pounding the ground furiously,
More ice spikes burst out from beneath the earth, surging in from every direction and completely sealing off Xu Qing's escape routes.
His earlier Go All Out had consumed nearly half of Xu Qing's Soul Power, but there was no panic on his face.
His Spiritual Power, now grown to the Soul Saint level, spread soundlessly,
Like the view from God's perspective, it projected every detail of his surroundings clearly into Xu Qing's mind.
Suddenly!
The ice spikes surged forward one after another. Before those in front could even reach him, those behind crushed them aside,
And this was exactly the moment Xu Qing had been waiting for!
Xu Qing lowered his body, clenched his right fist, and unleashed a simple punch relying solely on his physical strength!
"Boom—!"
The three ice spikes rushing straight at him shattered on impact, their fragments scattering in all directions like fireworks.
His left leg swept across, snapping several more ice spikes in half.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Xu Qing darted through the gaps between the ice spikes,
His fists, elbows, knees, feet—every part of his body became a weapon.
The shattered ice burst through the air, transforming into a blizzard of ice fragments and mist.
"Roar—!!!"
Ice marrow! Ice marrow!! The Titan Snow Demon bellowed, then slammed its thick lower limbs against the ground!
The earth beneath its feet exploded with a boom!
Its enormous body hurtled toward Xu Qing at an utterly unbelievable speed!
Rampaging ice elements coiled around it. It flared its back muscles and spread its arms wide as deep blue light raced along the grooves of its muscles toward its beastly claws.
Already as sharp as blades, its claws now grew even more unstoppable!
And the distance between them had shrunk to almost nothing.
Xu Qing could even make out the scars on its body, and the flying spittle freezing into ice crystals in the air.
The tips of those table-sized claws crackled with icy light as they came crashing down toward Xu Qing!
Ice... ice marrow!!
"Ha... hand it over!!!"
It spoke human words!
Du Busi's pupils contracted slightly.
The aura of this Soul Beast had actually risen from eighty-four thousand years to eighty-eight thousand years!!
And its Soul Power fluctuations were still climbing, showing no signs of weakening!
What other traits did his good disciple's Mystic Ice Marrow Martial Soul possess that he didn't know about!?
"Rumble—!!!"
The giant claw swept through empty air,
And a crater more than ten meters wide appeared where Xu Qing had stood.
For a time, wind and snow filled the sky, and visibility plummeted.
For Xu Qing, this was an advantage.
The frenzied Soul Beast had lost sight of its target and began attacking everything around it indiscriminately,
Even injuring itself didn't matter, as if its actions would make that supremely delicious morsel take pity on it and obediently run into its mouth.
"Let's end this quickly..."
Xu Qing drew on the Soul Power he had left and began rapidly inscribing the Soul Beast patterns he had prepared in advance,
He stepped on the snowflakes and ice fragments scattered everywhere, using their recoil to twist and turn through the air.
He couldn't afford any interruptions while inscribing.
He looked down at the raging giant beast, grinned, and slowly thrust out a fist.
"Ferocious Beast—Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!!"
"Whoosh—!"
A piercing sonic boom erupted!
A streak of emerald light tore across the sky and plunged into the battlefield at a speed beyond the Titan Snow Demon's visual limits!
Space warped wherever it passed, and the biting cold condensed into a tangible storm of ice crystals. In an instant, heaven and earth were swallowed by a vast white desolation!!
It was a scorpion carved entirely from jade, its body only two zhang long, its torso covered in a crystal-clear carapace.
Its two front pincers were as large as millstones, and the long scorpion tail behind it rose high, its stinger glinting with bone-chilling light.
"Ha ha ha... all that humiliation was worth it—the pointers I got in exchange for washing and massaging her feet!!"
As far back as a month ago, Xu Qing had set his sights on the Ice Empress's body,
Of course, he meant her true form, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.
The phantoms of Xu Qing's other Soul Beasts had all been pieced together from the books he'd read and similar auras,
The shape of the Deep Sea Demon Whale, the aura of an ordinary whale, the appearance of the Golden Crocodile King, the presence of an ordinary crocodile, and so on...
In Xu Qing's eyes, these were all incomplete Soul Beast phantoms. They had the shape, but not the spirit.
So, to obtain every last detail of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's appearance and capture its true essence, Xu Qing had no choice but to...
Sigh, it was a long story, a long story. Let's not talk about it...
Still, whenever he bent down, Xu Qing would silently remind himself: this was necessary preparation. It was worth it, it was worth it.
"Worth it!!"
Xu Qing crashed down onto the ground with a boom. At once, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion in the air raised its pincers and waved them lazily,
A gigantic jade pincer appeared out of thin air beside the Titan Snow Demon, then snapped shut with a click.
The air seemed to freeze in that instant.
"Bang—!!!"
A visible shockwave surged from the point where the pincer met the giant beast, sending every scrap of ice and snow flying within a radius of dozens of meters!
Xu Qing felt a force like mountains crashing into the sea rush through the air and spread across his entire body,
Even the shockwave alone left him numb from head to toe!
"The Ice Empress Pincer lives up to its reputation!"
Amid the smoke and icy mist,
Xu Qing's Spiritual Power pierced through the obstruction, revealing the Titan Snow Demon's condition. Its exterior was completely unharmed.
"Heh... your internal organs are all crushed, though, aren't they?"
That strike had pierced through its sturdy physical defenses and landed squarely on the Titan Snow Demon's incomparably fragile internal organs.
"Rustle..."
The resplendent emerald phantom in the air suddenly began flickering in and out, then finally faded away on the wind.
That strike had consumed all the Soul Power Xu Qing had given her.
"Roar, roar..."
The Titan Snow Demon crashed to the ground. Its body seemed no longer to obey it, and it couldn't move at all.
"Your master feels that even the Sea God worshipped by Shrek wouldn't have been anything like you at your age,"
Du Busi waved his hand, dispelling the barrier as he appeared on the battlefield. His tone was complicated:
"If Aotian saw you fighting like this, I'm afraid his Dao heart would shatter on the spot."
Sigh...
My disciple... it seems your master can't teach you anything anymore.
You're moving too fast, far too fast.
His gaze swept over the battlefield, whose terrain had been completely transformed. Slowly clasping his hands behind his back, he spoke earnestly:
"Do whatever you want. Your master won't ask questions. If you need me to do anything, just say the word."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Busi closed his eyes,
At the same time, the Spiritual Power of a Limit Douluo began probing the surrounding area within a hundred li without restraint.
He wasn't worried that the Snow Empress would show up, because his disciple had told him that the Snow Empress wasn't in the Far North.
Heh... no need to doubt, no need to understand. This old man only needs to believe.
Xu Qing gave a hum, then took the Mystic Ice Marrow that had been stored in his Storage Soul Tool for two months and poured it all into the Titan Snow Demon's abyssal maw.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho..."
The Titan Snow Demon had gotten what it wanted, and its consciousness cleared at that very moment.
"Human... heh heh, die..."
"Thud—!"
Xu Qing casually punched its lower jaw, helping it close its mouth.
The Mystic Ice Marrow melted the moment it entered its mouth. The Titan Snow Demon's consciousness blurred again, and its aura continued to climb!
