"Second Generation Wormhole Algorithm!"
Space suddenly rippled, and the ice spikes filling the sky vanished into the void!
Ice Emperor Hai Bodong looked utterly bewildered. Then, the vanished ice spikes suddenly reappeared, all plummeting toward where he stood.
As the Ice Emperor, his ice-element Dou Qi was unmatched throughout the Jia Ma Empire.
Yet being attacked by his own ice spikes was a first for him!
No one knew his own attacks better than Hai Bodong. He immediately teleported out of the ice spikes' range!
"Boom!"
The ice spikes struck the sand and shattered, white ice blossoms scattering on the wind and turning into patches of white mist!
"Ice Thrust!"
Hai Bodong slammed a palm against the ground, and frost-white Dou Qi spread in every direction, covering the sand with ice.
Wang Shu felt the ground churning beneath him, as though something was about to burst from the earth!
Without the slightest hesitation, Flame Wings appeared, and he soared into the air!
Sure enough, barely a second later, thick ice pillars erupted one after another from beneath the sand!
Under the blazing sun, Wang Shu looked at those sharp ice pillars and inexplicably felt a chill run through him. He muttered:
"What a vicious Dou Skill!"
"Dou Qi Wings... a Dou Emperor?"
Seeing the wings of flame behind Wang Shu, Hai Bodong's pupils contracted!
Such a young Dou Emperor? But why could he not sense the slightest fluctuation of Dou Qi from him?
"So amazing!"
Die gazed at Wang Shu in the sky, her heart filled with admiration and longing.
How wonderful it would be to possess a pair of wings that could fly freely!
"Who exactly are you, sir? There is no Dou Emperor expert like you in the Jia Ma Empire," Hai Bodong asked.
"Nameless and surname-less! But is this all the strength a Dou Emperor has? What a disappointment!" Wang Shu said.
At those words, Hai Bodong's expression immediately darkened. His face remained blank as a wisp of icy mist appeared in his palm.
An ice-blue halberd emerged from the mist. Hai Bodong gripped the ice halberd, his expression cold as he said:
"Then take this, sir!"
This time, Hai Bodong was serious. He put away the trace of contempt in his heart and suddenly shouted:
"Profound Rank High Level Dou Skills: Mystic Ice Dragon Flight!"
The ice-element energy between heaven and earth continuously gathered around Hai Bodong!
More precisely, it gathered around the ice halberd in his hand. This was the Tagor Desert, after all, where the blazing sun scorched the earth.
Yet even in such a sweltering environment, Hai Bodong could still unleash such fierce ice-element Dou Qi!
This showed his extraordinary talent. His mastery of ice-element Dou Qi had already reached the pinnacle.
"Watch out!"
Hai Bodong gave a warning, then fiercely slashed into the air with his ice halberd!
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar seemed to descend from the Ninth Heavens as a blue ice dragon over fifty zhang long appeared behind him.
The ice dragon radiated immense majesty, baring its fangs and claws, every ice scale lifelike!
Hai Bodong thrust one arm forward. The blue ice dragon let out a howl, its frigid Dou Qi instantly freezing the surroundings as it crossed space like a fierce dragon crossing a river.
The icy chill seemed capable of freezing even one's soul. It was utterly terrifying!
"So cold!"
Die shivered from the cold, her vermilion lips turning pale as snow while she tightly wrapped herself in the coat Wang Shu had given her.
The Thousand Machine Umbrella appeared in Wang Shu's hand and instantly switched into its battle-halberd form!
The Fire Element Formula was loaded, using 20M/s of Traffic Power in place of the true qi within his body!
An even greater power flooded his body, spreading through every limb and bone, peerless and incomparable!
His pupils turned gold as streams of golden flame coiled around him, making him look like a god of fire!
Wang Shu swung the Thousand Machine Umbrella, releasing the gathered fire energy, and shouted:
"Subduing Dragon Ascending to the Heavens!"
A crimson fire dragon surged forth, more violent and aggressive than the blue ice dragon!
Especially in this sea of sand, where active fire-element power filled the sky!
For Wang Shu, it was like adding wings to a tiger, like a fish returning to water!
"Roar!"
Dragon roars rang without end. The entire Tagor Desert could feel the fluctuations of two ultimate powers!
Fire and ice collided head-on!
The intense energy split into two opposing forces, one red and one blue, dividing heaven and earth into two realms of eternal daylight!
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the two dragons finally transformed into a rain of energy that drifted down!
"Umbrella weapon... Umbrella Emperor!"
Hai Bodong looked astonished. His body was forced back dozens of meters by the powerful energy.
At that moment, Wang Shu held the Thousand Machine Umbrella, with a trail of flames still lingering around its tip.
"Umbrella Emperor?" Wang Shu looked completely confused by the title and asked inwardly:
"001, what's going on?"
"Upon arriving in this world, in order to gain insight into the underlying source data of this world, an identity program compliant with its laws was arranged for the host.
As the host continues integrating into this world, this identity program will automatically undergo upgrades and adjustments," 001 said.
A string of memories then appeared in Wang Shu's mind—the information of the Umbrella Emperor, separate from his memories of being a mercenary.
"Two years ago, he consecutively defeated three of the Jia Ma Empire's ten strongest experts and soundly defeated the Misty Cloud Sect's sect master?"
Wang Shu's expression turned strange. This identity upgrade program was really stirring things up, wasn't it?
"Everyone says the Umbrella Emperor is mysterious and has never shown his face. Who would have thought the Umbrella Emperor was such a young man in the prime of his youth? I admire you," Hai Bodong said.
"Are you still going to take Snake Girl away now?" Wang Shu asked.
"Since the Umbrella Emperor has intervened, I fear I cannot easily take Snake Girl from your hands.
Then I can only abandon this mission. But let me remind you, Umbrella Emperor, Snake Girl's identity is far from ordinary. I am not the only one looking for her," Hai Bodong said.
"You don't need to tell me. I know," Wang Shu said.
Seeing this, Hai Bodong said no more and slowly departed. He had accepted this mission only because he owed an old acquaintance a favor, but he could do nothing but give it up now.
As for the favor he owed that old acquaintance, he could only repay it some other way.
Walking toward the edge of the desert, Hai Bodong felt melancholy. He had never expected the mysterious Umbrella Emperor of legend to be such a young man.
A figure in a black robe silently appeared atop a sand dune. His aura was strange and impossible to detect.
Hai Bodong noticed the mysterious person and recognized his identity from the snake tail beneath his black robe: a snake person.
"I have no interest in fighting you," Hai Bodong said calmly.
The black-robed snake person stood there like a statue, but then his body moved like a ghost as he suddenly lunged forward!
Crimson Dou Qi burst forth, along with the unmistakable aura of a Dou Emperor expert!
"Dou Emperor!" Hai Bodong looked shocked.
"Are you all right?"
As they walked through the desert, Die asked worriedly. After such an intense battle, she could not believe Wang Shu had come through completely unscathed.
But the truth was that Wang Shu really was completely fine. As for whether Hai Bodong had been injured, that was impossible to know.
"I'm fine," Wang Shu said.
Die pressed her lips together, guilt written across her face, though her heart was also filled with gratitude. She asked:
"Wang Shu, why did you save me? Snake people and humans have always had a bad relationship."
"I've always done whatever I want," Wang Shu said.
"Whatever you want?"
Die could not understand Wang Shu's way of thinking, but that did not stop her from believing he was a truly good person!
