Douluo Continent: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A Soul Beast Pagoda!

Chapter 73 Frozen Golden Dragon

Jiang Bai looked at the dumbfounded Jiang Li'er and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I won't bully you," he said casually, with a hint of amusement. "Since you think four against one is unfair, then I'll just fight you with the Ice Dragon. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li'er almost laughed in anger, her beautiful eyes widening even further: "What's the difference?!"

That was a 100,000-year-old ice dragon!

She clenched her fist, which was covered in golden dragon scales, until her knuckles turned slightly white from the force. She felt both angry and incredulous.

That bastard—how did he even do that?

Absorbing a 100,000-year-old spirit ring on the fourth soul ring? This completely defies common sense in the human soul master world! Even for a titled Douluo, absorbing a 100,000-year-old spirit ring is extremely difficult!

Could it be that—there really is a soul beast so foolish as to sacrifice itself for a soul master?

Countless questions swirled in Jiang Li'er's mind, making her gaze towards Jiang Bai even more complex.

Curiosity, resentment, a hint of defeat, and a burning fighting spirit.

Jiang Bai said no more, his thoughts subtly shifting.

The other three dragons transformed into three streams of light and returned to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Only the 100,000-year-old ice dragon, its entire body ice-blue and radiating a terrifying chill, remained standing before him.

"Fourth brother."

The ice dragon let out a deep roar, and its massive body transformed into a deep blue torrent that surged toward Jiang Bai and instantly engulfed his body.

"Buzz—!!"

Jiang Bai's aura suddenly surged!

An icy blue light emanated from his body, condensing into a thin but tough layer of ice crystal armor on his surface, with mysterious dragon patterns flowing across it.

His hair moved without wind, the ends of which were tinged with an icy blue, and his eyes were deep and cold.

At the same time, streams of immense and vast extreme cold energy surged wildly into Jiang Bai's limbs and bones.

In the past, when he was possessed by a thousand-year-old soul beast, the energy was gentle and controllable, and he handled it with ease.

However, the power of a 100,000-year-old soul beast was too much of a burden for a Soul Master's body with only four rings, even though his physique had been tempered several times.

It's like a small wooden bucket trying to hold the water of an entire river.

He could feel that his soul power, under the blessing of the ice dragon, had leaped in quality and increased dramatically in quantity, instantly raising his true combat power to the Soul Emperor level, and even approaching the threshold of Soul Saint.

Jiang Bai took a deep breath of the cool air and fixed his gaze on Jiang Li'er opposite him.

Jiang Li'er also sensed the sudden surge of energy emanating from Jiang Bai, a power that made her heart pound.

She gritted her teeth, and her crimson eyes shone with golden light.

She cannot retreat! The pride of the Imperial Beast will not allow her to back down without a fight!

"The power of the dragon!"

"The Pride of Gold!"

She shouted twice, and golden light surged around her once more!

With the two amplifications combined, her aura reached its peak, like a small sun burning under the moonlight.

"Third Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Fist!"

Without further hesitation, she let out a sharp cry and slammed her right foot into the ground, shattering the hard rock beneath her feet.

His right fist, covered in golden dragon scales, was clenched tightly, and a dazzling golden light condensed on the knuckles!

Her petite figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt, tearing through the air with an indomitable momentum, heading straight for Jiang Bai's face!

Faced with this fierce punch, Jiang Bai remained calm, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

He raised his right hand high, palm facing upward.

The temperature around us plummeted!

The moisture in the air and the remaining ice and snow on the ground seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, frantically converging towards his palm!

A longsword, about four feet long and made entirely of the purest, extremely cold ice crystals, slowly took shape in his palm, transforming from nothingness into reality!

The sword's blade was as clear as ice, and even before the tip moved, the ground within a ten-zhang radius was already covered with a layer of ice half a foot thick!

"Emperor Sword - Unrivaled Ice!"

The clear voice, accompanied by a biting chill, echoed through the valley.

The moment Bi Ji, who was not far away, heard the words "Emperor Sword - Ice Extreme Peerless", her emerald green pupils suddenly contracted!

The Emperor's Sword?!

Isn't this—the signature move of the Snow Queen from the far north?!

She turned her head sharply and looked at the light blue-haired woman who had been quietly watching the battle from the edge of the battlefield. A lot of information flashed through her mind like lightning.

It's her! The Snow Empress, the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation!

That girl in the green dress next to her—is that Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Ice Emperor?!

What are they doing here? And with Jiang Bai? Is it because of that 100,000-year-old ice dragon? Or is there another reason?

Brigitte's heart was filled with turmoil, and at the same time, she became extremely vigilant.

The simultaneous appearance of two Northern Heavenly Kings in the human world, and their close relationship with a human boy, is no small matter!

Moreover, their gazes seemed to be focused more on—Li'er.

This is bad—the Imperial Beast has a fatal attraction for any soul beast, especially for ferocious beasts like the Snow Empress and Ice Empress who stand at the pinnacle and seek a breakthrough—

Brigitte calmly circulated her soul power, preparing to intervene at any moment.

Jiang Bai's sword-wielding hand had already slashed down.

There are no fancy sword moves, just the simplest and most direct vertical slash.

The trajectory of the arm swinging down was clearly visible, even appearing somewhat slow.

A deep blue ice crystal longsword sliced ​​through the air.

Wherever the sword's edge passed, the air cracked under its weight.

At this moment, Jiang Li'er's "Golden Dragon Fist" had already rushed towards Jiang Bai with immense force!

She saw the deep blue sword light slashing down and felt the extreme chill and sharpness contained within it, which made her soul tremble slightly!

There's no way to avoid it!

In a flash, Jiang Li'er forcibly stopped her forward momentum, quickly crossed her arms in front of her, and the golden light on her arms, which were covered with golden dragon scales, shone brightly, forming a thick golden light shield!

"boom-!!!"

The deep blue sword light struck the golden light shield squarely!

A deafening roar exploded through the valley! The icy blue chill and the golden dragon power collided violently!

The stalemate lasted for less than a breath.

"Snap—"

A faint cracking sound was heard.

On the golden light shield, spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread from the point of the sword strike!

"Bang--!"

The light shield shattered completely!

The remaining sword light slammed into Jiang Li'er's crossed arms!

"Ugh!" Jiang Li'er groaned, feeling an irresistible force and a bone-chilling cold as it struck her at the same time.

Her body was struck as if by a heavy hammer, and she flew backward uncontrollably!

Even more terrifying, the deep blue ice crystals spread rapidly and covered her arms, which had been hit!

In the blink of an eye, she was frozen inside a huge, crystal-clear, deep blue block of ice!

"Boom!"

Jiang Li'er, frozen into an ice sculpture, slammed hard onto the ground, creating a shallow crater and sending ice shards flying everywhere.

Inside the ice, Jiang Li'er's crimson eyes widened, filled with shock and resentment.

She desperately mobilized her soul power, causing her golden dragon blood to boil and the golden dragon scales on her arms to shine brightly!

"Break!"

"Snap—crash—"

She finally shattered the hard ice layer from the inside, turning it into a shower of ice powder. Jiang Li'er broke free and landed on the ground, staggering a few steps before regaining her balance.

She looked down at her arms, where the golden dragon scales had dimmed considerably and were covered with a layer of white frost. The biting cold was still seeping into her bones, making her arms slightly numb and her movements somewhat stiff.

Such powerful ice! — What a formidable sword!
