Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 217 Crisis
The Ice Lock Formation completely blocked all of the Tianshan Demon Serpent's movement routes, and the Tianshan Demon Serpent was quickly trapped in the very center, its waist and limbs pierced by these frost chains!
First, ice arrows pierced through its body, causing ice crystals to explode inside. Then, ice locks peeled away its skin and bones. The Heavenly Mountain Demon Serpent's defenses had been reduced to the bare minimum.

"Teleportation!"

Fang Yu's eyes gleamed with silver light, and he actually projected a trembling space onto the Heavenly Mountain Demon Serpent from a distance.

The Tianshan Demon Serpent had just come to its senses when, in the blink of an eye, it found itself standing right in front of Fang Yu!

This guy suffered a great loss of strength. Unlike his previous arrogant and domineering demeanor, he had already shown a willingness to die. However, when faced with death, the Tianshan Demon Serpent was still panicked and terrified.

However, the pride of a leader-level demon only made it more enraged.

It's so frustrating! How come it couldn't kill such a weak human in so long? It was just bad luck.

"You are afraid!"

Fang Yu wore a devilish sneer as he clasped his hands together, and a massive two-colored ice sword shot straight into the sky!

The ice sword slashes were more like Fang Yu slamming down a large door panel.

The sword thrust down fiercely, just like a fisherman spearing a fish.

The Tianshan Demon Serpent was in extreme pain, writhing and wailing, until it was nailed to the ice.

"Whoo~"

Fang Yu dispelled the ice sword.

"How are your injuries?" Mu Ningxue rushed over and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing!" Fang Yu's face was a little pale. Although he was physically fine, the continuous release of magic had taken a heavy toll on his mental energy.

They won the battle, but at a great cost.

His ice armor has shattered...

Most importantly, his ice magic was completely depleted, but fortunately, his injuries had been mostly healed by the Nine Heavens Soul Fire.

"Ah! So tired! Can I lean on your shoulder for a bit?" Fang Yu's eyes darted around, and he leaned down on Mu Ningxue's smooth, delicate shoulder.

"Humph!"

Mu Ningxue knew this guy's character all too well, but seeing that he looked really tired, she just snorted and didn't do anything else.

However, before Fang Yu could even immerse himself in the sweet embrace, a shocking change occurred!
"Roar! Roar!"

Fang Yu and his companion held their breath and looked toward the source of the roar.

A majestic creature, its body gleaming with a magnificent white light, stood atop a towering ice peak. Its long, white fur flew wildly in the howling wind. With another earth-shattering roar, it soared into the sky, making it seem as if all living things would prostrate themselves beneath it.

"A white demonic snake, this guy's bloodline is quite pure!" Fang Yu took a deep breath.

The Tianshan Demon Serpent that was killed only had half of its body covered in white spots and marks, but this demon serpent was completely snow-white. Its pure white fur exuded an indescribable majesty and nobility, and its incredibly strong body made it look full of extreme power and wildness!
"The Heavenly Ridge Demon Serpent!"

Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue's faces turned deathly pale instantly.

"Roar!"

The Heavenly Ridge Serpent roared, "Killing my people in my territory! Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner!" It was enraged.

"Thump!! Thump!!! Thump!!!"

The entire mountain was shaking, the ground was cracking, and the soil was churning.

"Boom!!!"

The Heavenly Ridge Serpent leaped up, its thick, iron-pillar-like tail slamming down onto the ground!
A surging, shockwave swept outwards.

The Heavenly Ridge Demon Serpent's attacks were wide and sweeping, and it didn't care about accuracy at all. After seeing the approximate location of Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue, it attacked in that area as if it were stomping on a small insect. Even if it didn't stomp on them, the shockwave it generated was enough to hurt the small insect!
"Golden Ape!" Fang Yu decisively summoned the Golden Ape.

From the moon-white crack, a howl rang out, and the golden ape charged out with wild ferocity, its flying fur igniting its fighting spirit.

"Boom!!"

The Heavenly Ridge Serpent brought down its claw, and the golden ape, which was about to display its power, was blasted away, rolling heavily to a distance in the mountains, covered in dust and dirt.

The golden ape got up and carefully examined its opponent, causing its body to tremble involuntarily.

Before the Golden Ape could even unleash a single move against a creature far superior in level, it immediately began to flee in all directions, just like Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue, utterly powerless to fight back!
Although the Golden Ape didn't launch any attacks, the pressure on Fang Yu's side was reduced somewhat.

The glacier that Fang Yu's domain had just formed has been destroyed. The glacier, with a radius of 100 meters, collapsed with a roar, and from a distance, the ice surface looked like it had been riddled with gaps, a truly terrifying sight.

The two humans and the beast were constantly dodging. If Fang Yu hadn't had the super-powerful teleportation magic "Instantaneous Movement," he would have been decapitated long ago. Learning the Instantaneous Movement magic was indeed crucial; otherwise, under the rampaging claws of the Heavenly Ridge Serpent, Fang Yu wouldn't have had any room to maneuver.

A hundred meters away, a portal suddenly opened, and a voice filled with resentment could be heard.

"You crawler, how dare you bully me!"

The Sky Ridge Serpent was getting impatient; these reptiles were too slippery.

The Celestial Serpent stood there, its body covered in a thick layer of frost, and its giant claws slammed down. A ferocious breath of frost also gathered in its gaping maw.

Where Fang Yu stood, a crack appeared in the ground, and jagged ice peaks suddenly rose up!
"Teleport."

Fang Yu embraced Mu Ningxue, his eyes reflecting the silver light. He drew a circle in the air with his right hand, and a portal opened, instantly expanding more than ten times to become a giant circle with a diameter of several tens of times.

But as a breath of frost was exhaled, spatial ripples spread out, and the portal collapsed under the terrifying breath, but the breath had already ended.

"Gan!"

Fang Yu quickly used his free left hand to activate ice magic, and a huge ice mirror condensed and stood in front of Fang Yu!
They tried to defend, but the ice mirror shattered instantly upon contact with the ice peak, turning into dust and scattering ice crystals.

"Be careful!!"

Mu Ningxue shouted loudly, but it was too late.

"Bang~"

Fang Yu quickly pulled Mu Ningxue behind him, and without any hesitation, the ice peak struck Fang Yu with undiminished power.

The ice mirror Fang Yu forged had at least the defensive power of a high-level level three magic, which shows how exaggerated the strength of this Heavenly Ridge Demon Serpent was.

Sovereign level!
Fang Yu's body shot out and crashed into the ground.

Mu Ningxue got up; because Fang Yu had taken the direct hit, she had only suffered minor injuries.

She got up and looked at Fang Yu, not expecting the Heavenly Ridge Demon Serpent's attack to be so swift and fierce.

Blood continued to spill from Fang Yu's mouth as he endured the excruciating pain, uttering a hoarse voice: "As expected, I'm still far from being a match for the power of a monarch!"

"Whoosh~~"

Fang Yu breathed heavily, feeling as if his chest was filled with a jumble of things—fragments of bone, bruises—but as long as he could still breathe, that was enough!
Fang Yu was surrounded by wisps of fiery blue Nine Heavens Soul Flame, which stabilized his injuries and allowed him to stand up.

next moment.

A moon-white crack appeared, and he swapped the golden ape back into the summoning space.

If it were placed on the battlefield, the Golden Ape would likely perish. It was merely toying with them just now, and only now is it displaying the demeanor befitting a monarch.
