Chapter 246 Slight Disappointment
"So cold!" Blaze Regret shivered slightly, while an endless anticipation welled up inside him. If the Ice Control Irenix were to emerge, its power might even surpass that of the Ice Arrow Spirit.
After all, that ice lotus was formed from the lifelong spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Master, a powerful spirit King cultivator, incomparable to ordinary spirit king master entities.
As these thoughts raced through Blaze Regret's mind, the Ice Arrow Spirit shot several more arrows in rapid succession, all of which were smashed to pieces by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros's fists. The Jack family's courtyard lay in ruins from the destructive collisions.
"My young friend, shall we take this fight outside?" Jack Mana frowned and spoke calmly. If they continued like this, the entire Jack family estate might be razed to the ground.
"Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, follow me." Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently and stepped out of the Jack family's gate. Surrounding the Jack estate, a crowd had already gathered, drawn by the commotion. When they saw the robust silver body of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, they couldn't help but gasp.
With a swift movement, the Ice Arrow Spirit landed on a high wall, its ice bow flashing repeatedly. Arrows flew with sharp whistles, enveloping the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros from all directions.
The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lowered its gaze slightly and brought its palms together. A surging wave of power rippled out from beneath it, causing the incoming ice arrows to halt in mid air. As a second wave rolled out, fine cracks quickly appeared along the shafts of the arrows, which then shattered into pieces of ice and fell.
Spiritual Technique: Pulse Shock!
"Boom!"
The third wave of power surged forth, and the Ice Arrow Spirit on the high wall coughed up a trace of blood, its body trembling, almost toppling off the wall.
Witnessing this, many people were left gaping in shock.
"What a strange spiritual technique. Ice Arrow Spirit, use the Thousand Arrow Rain to forcefully interrupt it!" Jack Mana shouted anxiously.
Nodding slightly, the Ice Arrow Spirit twirled its slender fingers, conjuring an ice arrow. With a powerful pull of the bowstring, the arrow shot above the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, where it flashed and exploded. The released cold transformed into a vast ice formation, with a subtle icy mist swirling beneath it.
Spiritual Technique: Thousand Arrow Rain!
An ice blue array slowly rotates above the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, emanating a bone chilling cold. From the array, sharp ice arrows form, with tiny ice crystals rapidly condensing at their tips, exponentially increasing their sharpness.
Standing atop the high wall, the Frost Arrow Spirit clenches a slender hand, shattering the ice array. A barrage of ice arrows rains down, slicing through the sky and enveloping the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros below.
With its palms pressed together, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros looks skyward, clenching its five fingers into a fist and striking out fiercely. Roaring spiritual power transforms into a rock dragon, crashing heavily into the descending arrows.
"Boom!"
The clash between the rock dragon and ice arrows sends ripples rapidly spreading through the air, slicing through taller buildings and causing them to crumble powerlessly, raising clouds of dust.
Standing firmly on the ground, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly grasps a giant ice arrow that broke through the rock dragon, holding it tightly in its hand. The sharp arrowhead hovers just a finger's breadth from its silver armor.
With a slight exertion of its knuckles, the ice arrow shatters into several pieces. The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros's indifferent gaze shifts to the Frost Arrow Spirit on the high wall, and it fiercely throws the shards in its hand.
"Clang! Clang!"
As the Frost Arrow Spirit swings its icy bow, dazzling sparks flash, and the ice arrow fragments explode into small clouds of cold mist in the air.
Seeing the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros unharmed, Jack Mana's expression shows slight disappointment. The earlier rain of arrows was a feint, with the true killing move being that single ice arrow. However, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros detected it in the end.
"However, my Frost Arrow Spirit isn't so easily dealt with," Jack Mana's cold voice slowly emerges from his mouth.
"Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, move in and bring down the Frost Arrow Spirit," Blaze Regret says calmly.
As a long range attacking spirit beast, the Frost Arrow Spirit is bound to be weak in close combat. Once in close quarters, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros's fists can instantly inflict severe damage.
With a subtle flicker in its gaze, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clenches its fist, causing surging spiritual power to ripple across its surface. The surrounding space seems to shatter, forming tiny cracks.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion resounds as the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros's form shoots out like a cannonball, its unstoppable momentum causing Jack Mana's expression to turn serious.
As the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros charges forward, the Frost Arrow Spirit lightly grips its right hand, with rolling cold energy surging within. The Frost Arrow Spirit then draws that mass of cold energy onto its bowstring.
"Is it a Imperial grade spiritual technique?" Blaze Regret's expression is equally solemn, realizing Jack Mana's spirit beast is more challenging to deal with than he anticipated.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of the arrow leaving the string rings out as the mass of cold energy shoots forth. Mid air, it rapidly morphs into a massive ice ball, about 30 meter in size, with spikes resembling arrowheads extending and retracting from its edges. It smashes down toward the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros below.
"Boom!"
The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros's fist, brimming with terrifying force, collides with the ice ball. The ground cracks apart as ice mist rises, resembling a pale blue mushroom cloud, halting the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros's advance.
Shaking its fist, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros frowns at the blood seeping from its fist. The Frost Arrow Spirit's spiritual technique is incredibly destructive, leaving even it unable to emerge completely unscathed.
