Chapter 1104 - 1104 1105 Furious
Chapter 1104: Chapter 1105: Furious Chapter 1104: Chapter 1105: Furious Li Xiaobai took two steps forward and, like a wisp of smoke, arrived right in front of Long Aotian. He sized him up from head to toe. Although there was no thin film formed by Immortal Yuan Power on his body, a close inspection revealed that the water in the cold pond automatically moved aside as he passed, forming a tiny vacuum around his body. From a distance, it was indeed not noticeable.
This must be the use of a Water-Repelling Pearl or some other Magic Treasure to isolate the water of the cold pond. Moreover, with Long Aotian’s Dragon Race’s Bloodline and his extraordinary physique, coupled with the fact that the cultivators on Ice Dragon Island practiced the Frost Qi Technique and were naturally resistant to Frost Qi, he could maneuver through the cold pond with ease.
But this should only be in the cold pond, if he stepped into the lava, would he still be so calm and composed?
“Brother Ao Tian, haven’t seen you in good health, have we?”
Li Xiaobai approached, greeting him cheerfully.
“Young Master Han, truly a persistent spirit. Having fooled so many cultivators into such peril, you have incurred the wrath of many. Prepare yourself for the fury from Ice Dragon Island and the major families!”
Long Aotian’s expression was icy as he spoke. The fellow in front of him had deliberately set up the scheme, deceiving everyone into jumping into the water and then taking the opportunity to collect the lifetime resources of the deceased cultivators. Such behavior was blatantly displayed before everyone’s eyes, basically waiting to be verbally and literally crucified!
“Ha ha ha, I haven’t done anything. They jumped in on their own accord. How can you blame me? Besides, once a person dies, their treasures belong to no one. To prevent them from being destroyed by the Ice-Fire Taiji Springwater, what harm is there in me gathering them up?”
“You can’t blame these people’s deaths on me.”
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.
“What are you here for?”
Long Aotian asked coldly.
“Hehe, I came to check on Brother Ao Tian’s condition. If you can’t hold on and perish, I would be ready to swiftly gather up your lifetime’s wealth and honor it.”
Li Xiaobai said with a cheerful laugh.
“Then you might be disappointed, the mere cold pond can’t trouble me!”
Long Aotian spoke slowly, talking tough, but his body was truthfully moving bit by bit toward the boundary between ice and fire. There was no need to deliberately find a balance point as many cultivators had already found the spot before him; he just needed to join them.
“Brother Ao Tian, are you thinking of heading to the lava area? Let me accompany you on your journey.”
Li Xiaobai said with a grin, his hands wrapped around Long Aotian’s body, giving a gentle push, causing the chief disciple of Ice Dragon Island to involuntarily stagger a few steps, nearly falling into the cold pond.
“I damn…”
Fury blazed in Long Aotian’s heart; his body trembled, and the terrifying vibration force created monstrous waves in the surrounding cold pond, striking terror among the people in the middle.
[Attribute Points +2000000…]
Li Xiaobai let the strong energy ravage, unharmed.
He was fine, but the nearby cultivators were not pleased.
“Young Master Long, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you want to send us to our deaths?”
“Real men should fight fairly in the arena. Resorting to such petty tricks is quite beneath your dignity!”
The cultivators affected by the disturbance all wore faces full of anger. The remaining disciples were all tough individuals. They might show some respect to Long Aotian under normal circumstances, but if he overstepped, they would not hold back their voices.
“Apologies for disturbing fellow Daoists, my apologies!”
Long Aotian, irritated to the point of itching teeth, was helpless but to bow and make amends to the crowd. He then quickened his steps, eager to reach the balance point. Once the pressure decreased abruptly, he was definitely going to be the first to slap down this arrogant lad!
Li Xiaobai stuck to him like a persistent leech.
“Brother Ao Tian, do you need friendly assistance? Just for one million top-grade Immortal Stones, I can take you to the yin-yang balance point.”
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully,
“No need!”
Long Aotian, belly full of fire, spoke fiercely,
“Kid, I know you have some magical treasures on you; otherwise, it would be utterly impossible for you to move so freely in these spring waters. The fact that you resisted my Frost Qi back in the White Jade Tower without flinching must also be because of the protection of those treasures, right?”
“Let me tell you the truth, it’s useless! In front of us cultivators of the Dragon Race, all creatures in the world must bow and submit. I will kill you on the arena and take all your treasures for myself!”
“Xue’er is my woman, and this is what happens to those who covet my woman!”
Long Aotian said coldly, his crimson eyes filled with killing intent.
But what happened next startled him. Li Xiaobai suddenly dove into the bottom of the lake, and then Long felt his body lighten as if something had lifted him up. Immediately afterward, his body uncontrollably swept forward, and no matter how much he struggled, his speed did not decrease, shooting straight into the molten lava on the other side.
“What the fuck, what are you trying to do!”
Long Aotian felt a chill in his spine, and his eyes flickered with intense fear. He did not carry any Magic Treasure that could let him move freely through molten lava. The Great Elder had given him a Water-Repelling Pearl, useful in sea water but likely ineffectual in magma.
“Splash!”
Long Aotian was tossed upwards and harshly landed in the magma, with hissing sounds incessantly audible, and for a moment, light smoke was whirling around.
“Thousand-Year Water Repelling Bead!”
A dark blue bead spewed out from Long Aotian’s mouth, releasing an incomparably pure Frost Qi, clashing with the surrounding lava, in a mix of ice and fire, and the steaming heat surged tumultuously.
“Hmm?”
“So he relies on a magic treasure to survive the difficulties, but still has ways to hold on in the lava; impressive.”
Li Xiaobai eyed the bead. This was a treasure, able to move freely in the cold pond, its utility is extraordinary.
“Young Master Ao, do you want to go back to the cold pond area?”
“One million premium Immortal Stones, and I’ll send you back.”
Li Xiaobai moved closer, whispering.
“I’ll be damned…”
Long Aotian felt like he had bad luck for eight generations having encountered such a cutthroat individual, who threw him into the lava and then demanded a high price to send him back, having never faced such a shameless person before!
“Young Master Ao, the Frost Qi in your bead has a limited storage, it’s almost unable to withstand any longer.”
Li Xiaobai pointed at the Thousand-Year Water Repelling Bead, saying the layer of frost on the bead’s surface was rapidly melting at a visible rate, the power of the lava was strong, not something ordinary individuals could withstand.
“Kid, I’ll remember you, I will tear you apart on the arena!”
Long Aotian was about to go mad; a deep blue light burst forth, a blue rune emerged from between his eyebrows, veins on his arms bulged like dragons, and scales appeared transforming into dragon claws. Both palms struck the surface of the magma, causing a massive wave. His body shifted into a trail of dark blue afterimages, instantly reaching a balance point between ice and fire, then he sat down cross-legged to meditate, ignoring the outside world like an old monk in meditation.
“Blue, the Bloodline Power of the Dragon Race!”
The watching cultivators couldn’t help but exclaim, many of them seeing this prodigy of the Dragon Race for the first time, watching him display just a tip of his immense potential and could not help but widen their eyes; the Dragon Race’s Bloodline Power was ranked from red, orange, yellow, green, blue to purple—blue being only second to the Purple Royal Bloodline, fearsomely powerful.
“Just below the Purple Dragon Clan’s Bloodline, no wonder this Long Aotian is the top genius of Ice Dragon Island; his Bloodline Power is actually blue!”
“There will be a good show to watch, that Young Master Han dares to challenge him, he might die miserably on the arena.”
