Chapter 766 The Battle Intensifies
RUMBLE—
The battle unfolded between heaven and earth as the forces of both sides collided fiercely. Every clash seemed to possess the power to tear space apart.
Xue Feng’s Longsword and the Monster Beast’s claws clashed continuously in the air, creating deafening roars. Every impact ignited a shower of sparks, making it seem as if the entire sky was set ablaze by their battle.
The Monster Beast’s attacks grew increasingly violent. The gale-force winds from its claws tore everything apart. In its fury, trees were reduced to dust and rocks shattered into fragments. Xue Feng struggled greatly against this storm-like onslaught, but he never backed down. Moving like lightning, he dodged between the Monster Beast’s attacks, constantly searching for an opportunity to counter.
Just then, Xue Feng felt a vast Energy awakening within him—a power he had never experienced before. This Energy seemed to emanate from the deepest parts of heaven and earth, resonating with his very soul. His eyes grew more resolute, and the Longsword in his hand began to glow even more brilliantly.
Countless ice elements erupted in an instant. The temperature plummeted, and the surrounding air condensed into tiny ice crystals that sparkled with a cold light. Xue Feng stood amidst this world of ice and snow, an ice-blue light twinkling in his eyes. He felt the Ice Elemental Power surging wildly within him, like an uncontrollable, raging river.
Xue Feng knew this was the perfect moment for a decisive battle with the Monster Beast. He took a deep breath, cast all distractions aside, and focused his entire spirit on controlling the endless Ice Elemental Power. His Longsword began to emit a pale blue light. This was the Ice Elemental Power gathering on the blade, transforming it into a Divine Weapon that seemed capable of piercing anything.
The Monster Beast clearly sensed the impending danger. Its huge eyes stared fixedly at Xue Feng, burning with rage and defiance. It let out an earth-shattering roar, its enormous body trembling violently as if to vent its fear and anger. The Monster Beast raised its gigantic claws and slammed them down toward Xue Feng, wielding a force that tore through the air, intending to crush him completely.
Xue Feng, however, did not panic. He moved in a flash, swiftly dodging the attack. The claws slammed into the ground, instantly cracking the earth open and sending countless ice crystals scattering. Xue Feng flipped in mid-air and landed steadily beside the Monster Beast, his Longsword unhesitatingly unleashing a streak of ice-blue Sword Qi.
Like a flash of cold light, the Sword Qi shot straight for the Monster Beast’s neck. The beast instinctively swung its claws to block, but the Sword Qi carried a power of extreme cold that instantly froze the claws solid. The Monster Beast let out a painful howl and tried to break free from the icy shackles, but the chill had already penetrated to its very marrow, making its movements slow and clumsy.
Seizing the opportunity, Xue Feng quickly adjusted his position and swung his Longsword again. The ice-blue light on the blade grew brighter, each swing carrying a bone-chilling cold. Xue Feng continuously infused his Ice Elemental Power into the Longsword. The Sword Qi and the frigid air intertwined, forming unstoppable Ice Blades.
Every one of the Monster Beast’s counterattacks was blocked by the Ice Blades, their clashes producing deafening roars. The beast’s body was progressively torn apart by the sharp blades, its Scale Armor shattering to expose raw, red flesh. Its blood froze instantly from the intense cold, and with its movements further slowed, its anger and fear became futile.
Xue Feng did not relax in the slightest, knowing the Monster Beast was still formidable and that he had to give his all. He raised his Longsword high. The ice-blue light on its blade pulsed, condensing into a brilliant pillar of light that seemed to pierce the sky. Xue Feng took a deep breath, channeling all his strength to the tip of the blade before thrusting it fiercely toward the Monster Beast’s heart.
The strike carried endless chill and destructive force. At the last moment, however, the Monster Beast shuddered violently. A thick Ice Shield instantly formed over its Scale Armor, blocking Xue Feng’s lethal blow. The tip of the Longsword pierced the Ice Shield, emitting a grating, cracking sound, but it failed to penetrate completely.
The Monster Beast let out an angry roar and shook its body violently, the sheer force knocking Xue Feng back several steps. Xue Feng steadied himself, his eyes fixed on the beast, marveling at its tenacity. He knew he had to be even more cautious to defeat this formidable adversary.
The Monster Beast swung its massive claws, launching a storm-like onslaught at Xue Feng. Each swipe carried a force that seemed to tear through the air itself, threatening to rip him to shreds. Moving like lightning, Xue Feng nimbly dodged the attacks, looking for an opportunity to counter.
Suddenly, the Monster Beast leaped high into the air. Its entire body spun, its huge tail whistling as it swept toward Xue Feng. He swiftly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the strike. The ground where the tail had passed cracked instantly, sending dust billowing and revealing the beast’s terrifying strength.
Xue Feng felt the Ice Elemental Power surge within him again. He knew he had to concentrate all his strength once more to defeat the Monster Beast for good. He took a deep breath and gathered all the Ice Elemental Power in his body into his blade. The light on his Longsword grew so intense it seemed it would freeze everything in the vicinity.
Come on, this will be the final strike! Xue Feng vowed to himself. He held his Longsword aloft, its ice-blue light condensing into an intense pillar that shot straight into the heavens. With a mighty swing, a massive Ice Dragon burst forth from the tip of his Longsword, hurtling toward the Monster Beast with endless chill and destructive force.
The Ice Dragon roared as it lunged at the Monster Beast, which bellowed in rage. Its massive claws collided fiercely with the Ice Dragon in mid-air, creating a shower of countless ice crystals and sparks. The clash erupted with a deafening boom, filling the air with a mixture of frigid and scorching auras.
Under the Ice Dragon’s assault, the Monster Beast’s Scale Armor gradually cracked, revealing raw, red flesh. Its blood froze instantly from the penetrating chill, causing its movements to become slow and clumsy. The Ice Dragon roared again as it continued its charge toward the Monster Beast’s heart, carrying with it an endless chill and destructive power.
Sensing the immense threat, the Monster Beast let out an enraged roar as its entire body began to shake violently. Its eyes glinted with savage light, and its huge mouth opened once more to spew a torrent of flames even hotter than before, attempting to completely engulf Xue Feng’s Ice Dragon.
The flames collided fiercely with the Ice Dragon in mid-air, creating a deafening explosion. Fire and cold intertwined, forming a vast Energy vortex. Though Xue Feng’s Ice Dragon was powerful, the Monster Beast’s flames were not to be underestimated. In the aerial deadlock, neither side could gain an easy victory.
