Chapter 540: Frost Giant Lizard
The Cold Ice Palace Master launched a palm strike.
Xiao Yi threw a punch in response.
The layers of frost driven by Wandering Dragon Palm Force clashed with the fist wrapped in four-colored flames.
In the end, they nullified each other.
The Cold Ice Palace Master's face darkened.
Xiao Yi sneered, then immediately threw another punch towards the Cold Ice Palace Master's face.
The Cold Ice Palace Master reacted quickly, positioning his palm in front of his face.
With a booming sound,
the punch was blocked, but the explosive force, being so close to his face, shattered his Protective Primordial Power causing it to waver wildly.
Startled, the Cold Ice Palace Master hastily retreated.
Seizing the moment, Xiao Yi launched another punch.
The Cold Ice Palace Master could only fend it off in haste in front of his face.
"Crafty lad," the Cold Ice Palace Master's face turned sour.
Being preempted by Xiao Yi, his defense became very passive.
Xiao Yi's fists, like a gale, kept pounding heavily without stop.
The Cold Ice Palace Master's Protective Primordial Power was completely shattered in no time.
The final punch's explosion sent the Cold Ice Palace Master flying back heavily.
"Damn it." When the Cold Ice Palace Master steadied himself, blood was already streaming from his face, a sorry sight to see.
Yet, he was secretly shocked.
Although they were both at the Earth Extreme Fourth Layer of power,
his own Cultivation was far deeper than Yi Xiao's.
Yet in such a situation, he had fallen into disadvantage the moment they clashed.
The young man's tactics far exceeded his expectations.
"Brat, I'll slaughter you," roared the Cold Ice Palace Master.
Being humiliated by a young man in public, how could he not be furious?
Xiao Yi sneered, "Hall Master of the Cold Ice, holding a high position, you probably seldom take action."
"Ah, no, more accurately, over the years, you've probably grown accustomed to striking from the shadows."
"Your direct combat ability seems to have diminished quite a bit."
Xiao Yi's words were nothing more than mockery.
He was well aware that at the Extreme Realm level, a Martial Artist would be incredibly formidable in every aspect.
Direct combat ability wouldn't diminish.
Fury flickered in the Cold Ice Palace Master's eyes, "Just wait until I tear that mouth of yours apart."
As his words fell, the Cold Ice Palace Master initiated an instant attack.
Xiao Yi was not frightened in the slightest.
Just as they were about to clash again, his expression suddenly changed.
He saw that the oncoming Cold Ice Palace Master's body instantly transformed.
A Martial Soul Illusion condensed behind him.
Gradually, the Martial Soul Illusion enveloped his body.
"A Beast Martial Soul, the Frost Giant Lizard," Xiao Yi's pupils narrowed, his face turning pale.
At that moment, the Cold Ice Palace Master had turned into a giant lizard and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi had no choice but to throw a punch in defense.
But the outcome was that he was instantly sent flying.
The previously stable four-colored flames began to show signs of dissipating once more.
"Such terrifying Giant Force," Xiao Yi's face was etched with wariness.
The Frost Giant Lizard was one of the rare demon beasts.
Ranked as a Level 8 Demon Beast, its strength was even above that of the Ice Netherworld Python.
Massive in size, with boundless strength.
Its thick Scale Armor was exceptionally hard; its saliva and blood contained deadly poison.
Any average Extreme Realm Martial Artist, even if touched slightly, would suffer grave injuries.
This demon beast was particularly ferocious, adept at hiding in the snow, cunning, and bloodthirsty.
With defense, attack, and speed all in one, plus its toxicity, its strength was alarmingly powerful.
Most importantly, it was rumored to contain a trace of Ancient Ice Dragon Bloodline.
Naturally capable of controlling winds and snow, commanding Cold Ice.
As a Martial Soul, it was simply a top-tier existence among Beast Martial Souls.
Ranked at the Blue Peak Stage, yet comparable to the Purple Early Stage.
Somewhere in between, perhaps.
"Boy, summon your Martial Soul, or you will die a miserable death," the Cold Ice Palace Master said coldly.
"I've heard your Martial Soul is the Purple Flame Lion King."
"I want to see how long the Purple Flame Lion King can last in the hands of my Frost Giant Lizard before being torn apart, hahahaha."
"To deal with you, I don't need a Martial Soul," Xiao Yi said coldly, unleashing Purple Flames across the sky.
The Purple Flame Lion King indeed was no match for the Frost Giant Lizard.
The Purple Flame Lion King, after all, was only a Sixth-level Demon Beast.
But the true strength of the Purple Flame Lion King lay in its Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.
Had its potential not been limited, the rank of the Purple Flame Lion King would definitely not be lower than that of the Frost Giant Lizard.
At that moment, Purple Flames surged towards the Frost Giant Lizard.
The Cold Ice Palace Master gave a disdainful smile and uttered, "Disperse."
Endless wind and frost materialized from nowhere, blocking the Purple Flames.
Xiao Yi's figure flashed, and he seized the opportunity to throw a punch.
The Cold Ice Palace Master didn't dodge or evade.
Xiao Yi's fist landed heavily on the Illusion of his Martial Soul.
There was a loud 'bang' as the Cold Ice Palace Master stood unmoved, while Xiao Yi was repelled back tens of meters.
"No wonder it's the Frost Giant Lizard, such tough skin," Xiao Yi thought in shock.
His fist was numb from the shock, even showing threads of blood.
Yet the surface of the Frost Giant Lizard had only lost a few scale plates.
"Boy, I have no interest in playing with you anymore," the Cold Ice Palace Master sneered coldly.
His figure flashed violently and rushed towards Xiao Yi.
The speed was astonishingly fast.
Under the terrifying impact and overwhelming Giant Force of his own body,
just the momentum alone made Xiao Yi feel extremely uncomfortable all over.
This collision, if hit, would surely result in severe injury.
"You really think I'm scared of you?" Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and sneered.
The flames in his hand erupted to their extreme.
In an instant, his aura went berserk.
The pressure on his body dissipated in an instant.
"Furious Flame Slash," Xiao Yi whispered.
Indeed, the Furious Flame Slash.
This High-level Heavenly Martial Technique, which Xiao Yi had acquired from the inheritance of the Sword Demon, had not been used in combat before.
But he had already mastered it, controlling it as easily as moving his own arm.
Now when he executed it, it was effortless.
A Flame Giant Blade appeared out of nowhere.
The air oozing with terrifying high temperatures instantly melted the dense snow and wind around it.
In the Extreme Cold Land, snow fell unceasingly all year round.
But in a range of several thousand meters, not a single snowflake remained now, turning it into a scorched zone.
The ground, layers of snow unthawed for hundreds of years, instantly dissolved.
A hundred-meter layer of snow turned into a boiling lake a hundred meters deep.
The water was hot, burning hot!
Almost at the moment the Flame Giant Blade appeared, all this took place.
"What?" the Cold Ice Palace Master, charging straight in, changed color.
"High-level Heavenly Martial Technique."
With his keen perception, he immediately recognized the tier of the Flame Giant Blade.
"Go," Xiao Yi commanded coldly.
The massive blade hovering in mid-air, like a furious blade hidden in the depths of lava, cleaved straight down.
Along its path, the air twisted.
A loud 'boom' sounded as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting.
The sturdy scales of the Frost Giant Lizard shattered as easily as paper.
The scales broke, the flames wrapped around its body, and its blood, laced with deadly poison, spurted out.
In the end, the entire giant lizard, amidst a pained roar, fell powerless.
It disappeared into the boiling water lake a hundred meters deep before them.
