Chapter 423: Fighting the Ice Armor Man
Gu Yang stood with his sword in hand and said in a deep voice, "This ice dragon is not in the right state. Its power is continuously declining."
Hu Qing nodded, his eyes sharp. "It's been sealed for too long, and it's still very weak after waking up. But Xiao Zi is only at the peak of the fifth level, so he can't fight for long either."
Hu Qing's robe was lifted up by the aftermath of the violent dragon's breath, and ice chips scratched his cheek like a blade, leaving a tiny blood mark.
He tried to form hand seals, but the frost storm that erupted when Xiao Zi fought the ice dragon formed an insurmountable barrier.
Purple lightning and ice intertwined and exploded, turning the space within a radius of ten feet into a death zone.
"Guyang! Solve it first—"
"boom……"
Before he finished speaking, the entire ice cave suddenly shook violently.
The ice-armored giant on the throne slowly stood up, and a thousand-year-old cold air gushed out from the gaps in his armor.
The giant sword continued to grow during the awakening process, and eventually turned into a terrifying weapon as tall as a man.
When its empty eye sockets lit up with a scarlet light, a pressure more ancient than that of the ice dragon swept across the entire place like a tide.
"Three thousand years..." The Ice Armor Man's voice sounded like the friction of broken ice. With every word he spoke, ice chips fell from the cracks in his mask. "Finally... I've waited for you..."
boom!
The giant leaped up, and the Ice Crystal Throne exploded into pieces under its feet.
When it fell heavily in front of Hu Qing with the wind and snow, spider-web-like cracks instantly appeared on the ground.
The trajectory of the giant sword's fall was simple and direct, but it carried the power to split mountains and break peaks. Before the sword arrived, the sharp sword energy had already plowed a three-foot-deep gully on the ground!
Only when the Ice Armor Man came close did Hu Qing and Gu Yang see his appearance clearly.
He was three meters tall, and his entire body was covered in armor carved from ice crystals, with his joints reflecting a cold blue light.
A face as cold as a rock was expressionless, with only two clusters of icy flames dancing in the depths of the eye sockets.
A thorny ice crystal crown sits on top of its head, emitting an invisible pressure.
The ice crystal sword that was almost as tall as it was leaning in front of it, the tip of the sword sunk into the ice, and the cold air spread visibly along the sword body.
The spiritual pressure of Duan Chen in the late stage was like a real glacier, weighing heavily on the hearts of Hu Qing and Gu Yang.
This crushed them in terms of realm, the idea was too tricky.
Moreover, both of them have lost their usual weapons, making victory much more difficult.
"Tsk, this ice lump is so painful just looking at it."
Gu Yang licked his cracked lips, but the corners of his mouth showed an eager curve.
He clenched his fists, and black spiritual power surged out rapidly, condensing into two solid, angular boxing gloves on his fists, exuding a heavy and steady aura.
"Ah Qing, you on the left and I on the right?"
Hu Qing did not answer, but just nodded slightly.
His expression was as stern as usual, his slender fingers were pressed together like swords, and a green light flickered at his fingertips.
The extremely sharp sword energy flowed between his fingers, making a slight "chi chi" sound, as if it could cut through the air.
The white scarf was still tied loosely around her neck, swaying in the strong wind brought by the ice-armored man.
The ice-armored man moved, but he didn't rush forward. Instead, he suddenly pulled the ice crystal sword out of the ice!
The movement seemed slow, but it brought about a visible ice shock wave that spread violently forward in a fan shape.
At the same time, the greatsword swept across, and three huge crescent-shaped ice blades tore through the air, with a piercing scream and a chill that froze everything, attacking the two of them!
"Point the stars!" Hu Qing shouted.
He pointed his fingers together so quickly that only an afterimage remained.
In an instant, dozens of blue sword auras, as thin as cow hair but extremely condensed, shot out and accurately landed on the weakest energy node of the ice blade.
Puff puff puff!
The seemingly powerful ice blade exploded halfway, turning into ice crystal fragments all over the sky.
"Well done!"
Gu Yang did not retreat but advanced, kicking his feet hard on the smooth ice surface. His boxing gloves burst out with a pale yellow light, and he rushed to the left side of the ice armor man like a cannonball.
"Overlord Fist: Collapse of the Mountain!"
The fist roared, carrying the power to split mountains and crack rocks, and hit the opponent's ribs.
The ice-armored man's cold eyes showed no fluctuation, and he didn't even swing his sword to block.
The cold air in the passage instantly gathered in front of him.
Almost at the moment when Gu Yang's fist arrived, a six-sided ice shield about a foot thick and crystal clear condensed out of thin air!
"boom--!"
The spiritual power boxing gloves collided fiercely with the ice shield!
A dull roar echoed in the narrow passage, making the ice walls buzz.
Gu Yang felt like he had hit an iceberg, and the huge recoil force made his arm numb.
A piercing chill spread rapidly along the gauntlet, attempting to freeze his meridians. The ice shield was covered in cracks, but it remained intact.
At this moment, a green light flashed in Hu Qing's eyes, and his predictive ability was activated!
He saw the five fingers of the ice-armored man's empty left hand slightly open, and an invisible icy force field instantly locked onto Gu Yang!
"Guyang, retreat!"
Hu Qing warned loudly, and at the same time, with a flick of his wrist, the white scarf was untied like a spirit snake, and he infused it with spiritual power and threw it forward!
The scarf suddenly glowed in the air and instantly transformed into a white fox with a snow-white body and lively eyes!
As soon as the white fox appeared, it opened its mouth and spewed out three fist-sized, high-speed rotating, incandescent white spiritual energy bullets.
The finished glyph shot towards the joint of the Ice Armor Man's shield-holding arm, trying to interrupt its spellcasting.
However, Hu Qing's warning was still a little slow.
Gu Yang felt an irresistible chill rising from the ice beneath his feet, and his legs below were instantly frozen by a layer of solid ice, making him unable to move!
The ice layer is still spreading upwards rapidly!
"Divide the sea!"
Hu Qing slashed his sword diagonally, and a stream of condensed green sword energy shot out like a streak of light, not to attack the enemy, but to accurately cut towards the base of the icicle that froze Gu Yang's legs!
scoff!
Ice chips flew everywhere and the solid ice broke with a sound.
Almost at the same time, the ice-armored man faced the white fox's spiritual power bullet, and his left hand technique remained unchanged, maintaining the confinement of Gu Yang.
Although the icicle was cut off, the restraining force still existed.
The greatsword in his right hand swung into a sword flower with great dexterity, and an ice wall instantly stood up at his side.
Boom boom boom!
Three spiritual power bombs exploded on the ice wall, ice chips flew everywhere, and the ice wall was shaky, but it successfully blocked the attack.
The shadow of the white fox flickered and became a little more transparent, and Hu Qing's face turned slightly pale - the phantom skill consumed his own spiritual power.
"Damn it, I'm freezing to death!" Gu Yang escaped from the trap and rolled backwards in an awkward manner to create some distance. His legs were frozen blue.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he slammed his right fist into the ice wall beside him: "Split the Sky!"
The fist did not touch the ice wall, but the space in front of the glove shattered like glass, forming an irregular black crack!
Gu Yang went in without hesitation.
The next second, the ice-armored man's sword, wrapped in a biting cold wind, slashed fiercely at the place where Gu Yang had just stood, cutting a deep groove in the ice surface!
Gu Yang's figure mysteriously emerged from another space crack in the ice wall behind the ice armor man.
The long-awaited left fist, emitting a white glow, fiercely struck the Ice Armor Man's back.
"Overlord Fist: Breaking the Army!"
The timing was tricky, and the Ice Armor Man seemed to be caught off guard.
However, just as Gu Yang's fist was about to hit, the crown of thorns on the ice armor man's head suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light!
"Field: Eternal Frost Delay!"
Om-!
An invisible, extremely sticky ice force field suddenly spread out from the Ice Armor Man, instantly covering the entire passage!
Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt their bodies sink at the same time, as if they were trapped in an icy quagmire, and every movement became extremely difficult and slow.
The flow of blood seemed to slow down, and the circulation of spiritual power was greatly hindered.
Gu Yang's punch, which was determined to win, slowed down visibly.
The ice-armored man turned around calmly, and with the ice crystal sword carrying a thousand pounds of force, he swung it back towards Gu Yang's waist and abdomen, whose speed had suddenly decreased!
If this sword strikes hard, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"A Qing!" Gu Yang roared urgently, but there was no fear in his eyes, instead a hint of madness flashed across his eyes.
A green light suddenly flashed in Hu Qing's eyes, and his predictive vision was working at full capacity, capturing every subtle change in the flow of ice elements in the area and the trajectory of the ice-armored man's movements.
He instantly understood Gu Yang's intention, and without any hesitation, he communicated with the twin flowers in his body with a thought!
"Now!" Hu Qing shouted, the green light on his fingertips faded, and his right hand suddenly stretched out.
The palm of his palm was aimed at the seam of the ice-armored man's breastplate, which was exposed when he swung his sword and had been pierced by Hu Qing's sword energy before, leaving a tiny crack!
Charge laser!
A destructive energy gathered madly in Hu Qing's palm. The dazzling white light instantly illuminated the entire dark blue passage, and even the ice flames in the ice-armored man's eyes dimmed!
