Chapter 302: Ice Emperor Makes a Move? The Enraged Niu Gao!
As the words fell, a flash of emerald light appeared in Ice Emperor's eyes. Then, its figure blurred instantly, like a lightning bolt tearing through space, lunging straight at Tang Chuan!
The next second, its scorpion tail, shimmering with a ghostly blue aura of death, appeared before Tang Chuan as if by teleportation, aiming straight for his throat!
Its speed was so extreme that even its sound was left behind!
This attack contained four hundred thousand years of its cultivation, determined to kill in one strike!
"Insolence!"
Seeing this scene before it, Crimson King roared in fury!
Its massive body instantly erupted with a dazzling crimson light, which then rapidly contracted! Almost simultaneously with the Ice Emperor's stinger, a towering figure, burning with dark red flames, solidified, then stood like a barrier in front of Tang Chuan!
"Clang—!"
A piercing, metallic clang exploded instantly!
The crimson-haired giant, transformed from the Crimson King, with his massive, blazing hand, seized the Ice Emperor's deadly tail hook with pinpoint precision in the nick of time!
Extreme ice and extreme fire clashed violently, hissing and corroding fiercely, sending up billowing icy mist and sparks that completely enveloped the two figures.
In the blink of an eye, the muscles on the Crimson King's arm bulged and bulged, the flame patterns shining brightly, clearly bearing immense force. The Ice Emperor's tail hook trembled violently in the flames, its eerie blue light flickering, trying to break free from the scorching confinement.
"Ice Emperor! How dare you be so rude!" Suddenly raising his head, the Crimson King's gaze was fixed on the jade scorpion so close at hand, and he said in a deep voice:
"This young man is an honored guest of my Star Dou Great Forest! He is also a companion of auspicious beasts!"
The Ice Emperor felt the burning pain and immense force from the tail hook, his heart filled with both shock and anger.
She hadn't expected the Crimson King to react so quickly, even going so far as to transform into human form to take her full-force attack head-on. She struggled fiercely, her icy voice filled with arrogance and disdain, saying,
"A guest of honor from the Star Dou Great Forest? So what! What does that have to do with my Far North? He absorbed Tianmeng's soul ring and trespassed into my core forbidden area—a capital offense! Crimson King, get out of my way!"
"Stubborn fool!" the Crimson King roared, his arms suddenly exerting force. A violent burst of fire-attribute energy, like a volcanic eruption, surged through his tail hook towards the Ice Empress's body. Simultaneously, he stomped on the frozen ground, using the momentum to violently lift the Ice Empress's tail hook along with her entire body, hurling her into the distance!
"Boom—!"
The next second, the Ice Empress was slammed heavily onto a glacier, instantly sending ice shards flying and countless cracks spreading like a spiderweb! But the next moment, a beam of emerald light shot into the sky from the ice shards. The Ice Empress's aura not only didn't weaken, but instead became even more terrifying due to her rage!
"You're courting death!"
The temperature of the world plummeted once more!
At this moment, behind the Ice Emperor, endless ice and snow gathered wildly, as if the power of the entire far north was bowing down to her and bestowing its blessings upon her! She held nothing back, unleashing the true might of heaven and earth!
The Crimson King was equally unwilling to be outdone, roaring to the sky, flames erupting from his body and transforming into three enormous fire tornadoes that clashed fiercely with the blizzard stirred up by the Ice Emperor!
"Boom—!!!"
Ice and fire, the two ultimate attributes of the laws of nature, erupted and annihilated completely at this moment!
Terrifying energy turbulence tore apart the clouds in the sky, shattered millennia-old glaciers, and triggered a massive avalanche that swept across dozens of miles! Vast expanses of white snow poured down from the surrounding mountain peaks like a tsunami, as if to bury the entire world!
The battle between the ferocious beasts instantly caused the heavens and earth to lose their color!
The fierce battle between the Crimson King and the Ice Emperor had reached a fever pitch; every collision of fire and ice caused the heavens and earth to tremble and the snowfields to crumble.
Their strengths were evenly matched, and for a short time, it was difficult to determine who was superior.
"Red King, as a soul beast, why are you protecting a human?"
"Have you forgotten how humans treat us soul beasts?"
With a cold shout, Ice Emperor's emerald eyes flashed with a chilling light. Knowing she had to act quickly, especially since the Imperial Beast was also present, alerting Di Tian would only increase the unpredictability. She feigned an attack, using the momentum to retreat a short distance, and addressed Titan Snow Demon King, who had been watching intently from a distance.
"Atai! Haven't you always wanted to prove your strength to Snow Emperor?"
"Quickly stop this fire dog! I'll capture that brat first."
"I think Snow Emperor will be very interested in the elemental energy within Tianmeng's body!"
These words, like a precise arrow, instantly struck the deepest part of Titan Snow Demon King's heart.
Its awe of Snow Emperor, its hidden feelings, and its desire to prove itself were all cleverly exploited by Ice Emperor.
"Roar—! Leave it to me!"
Upon hearing this, the Titan Snow Demon King's blood-red pupils instantly erupted with fanatical fighting spirit. Almost without hesitation, its mountain-like body moved abruptly, like a moving snow mountain, carrying a terrifying aura capable of crushing everything, and crashed towards the Crimson King!
"Get out of my way! Your opponent is me!"
The Crimson King was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected the Ice Emperor to be so cunning, actually letting the Titan Snow Demon King intervene. Facing this far-northern giant whose power was in no way inferior to his own, and perhaps even surpassed it, he had no choice but to concentrate all his energy on dealing with it.
The next second, the dark red flames and the white icy current collided fiercely once again.
This time, however, the Crimson King's opponent was the even more ferocious and savage Titan Snow Demon King. It was immediately entangled and unable to break free for a short time.
"Despicable!"
the Crimson King roared, but was firmly bound by the Titan Snow Demon King's relentless barrage of attacks.
In that split second, the Ice Emperor's figure transformed into a streak of barely perceptible emerald light, bypassing the battlefield of the two ferocious beasts. With a chilling killing intent and an air of unwavering determination, she appeared as if teleported directly in front of Tang Chuan and Xiao Rui'er!
"Human, this time, let's see who can protect you?"
...…
Meanwhile, in the northern part of the Star Luo Empire, in Dragon Rising City.
Unlike the bustling and prosperous Heaven Dou City, Dragon Rising City was more imposing and rugged.
The residence of the Imperial Clan was located in the west of the city. Its high walls were built of hard granite, and the gatehouse was wide and heavy, exuding an unyielding and steadfast aura.
Led by Titan, Tang Hao, Tang San, and their group stopped before the tightly closed door.
Titan stepped forward and forcefully knocked on the brass ring on the door, his voice booming,
"Old Rhino! It's me, Titan! Open the door!"
A few minutes later, hurried, heavy footsteps echoed from inside.
With a creaking sound that made one's teeth ache, the heavy wooden door was slowly pulled open a crack, then swung wide.
The next second, an elderly man, equally robust, even more imposing than Titan, appeared behind the door. His face was ruddy, his short hair stood on end like steel needles, and his eyes were sharp—it was Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu Clan.
Upon seeing Titan at the door, Niu Gao's serious face first broke into a genuine smile. He opened his arms, ready to embrace his old comrade, saying,
"Old gorilla! What brings you here?"
"You didn't even give me a heads-up, come on in..."
However, his enthusiastic words and actions came to an abrupt halt when his gaze passed over Titan's shoulder and landed on the silent, tall figure behind him, his weathered face still bearing a familiar outline!
The smile on Niu Gao's face froze instantly, then vanished, replaced by utter shock and disbelief.
And with it surged a torrent of anger and resentment suppressed for over a decade!
Niu Gao's face turned ashen in an instant, his gaze fixed on Tang Hao.
The next second, without a word, Niu Gao abruptly took a step back, his calloused hands gripping the two heavy doors without hesitation, ready to slam them shut!
That resolute posture seemed to be an attempt to completely shut out a painful past!
"Old Rhinoceros! Wait!"
Titan seemed to have anticipated this, reacting with lightning speed. A thick arm shot out like an iron clamp, wedging itself in the door crack. The immense force prevented Niu Gao from closing the door.
"Titan!!!"
Niu Gao roared, his voice echoing in the doorway, making everyone's eardrums buzz. He stopped trying to close the door and instead flung his arm out, a carrot-thick finger almost poking Titan's nose. He was trembling slightly from extreme rage.
"What the hell do you mean by this?!"
"Why did you bring this jinx to my Yu Clan?!"
"Huh?! Have you forgotten how our four great clans have survived all these years?! Have you forgotten our clansmen who died at the hands of Spirit Hall?!"
He spat as he spoke, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Where was he when the Clear Sky Sect abandoned us like trash, sealing off their mountains to avoid disaster?! Where was he when we were hunted like dogs by Spirit Hall, nearly wiped out?! Now! Now that Tang Hao has appeared, you actually dare to bring him before me?! Titan! Are you fucking senile?! Or has your Strength Clan become spineless, wanting to lick the boots of your former master again?! I, Niu Gao, despise you!!"
