Chapter 2143: Ice Demon!
Chapter 2143: Ice Demon!
Zhou Yu naturally wouldn’t reveal the origin of the Purple Tiger to these three.In fact, he initially didn’t plan on releasing the Purple Tiger at all.
After all, with the current power of the Purple Tiger, it was enough to act as his ace in the hole.
But, it was unavoidable.
Since they entered the Cold Ice Canyon, they had encountered a terrifying blizzard.
This blizzard was not the ordinary kind you find outside.
Within it was a terrifying Gang Wind, which Zhou Yu could withstand with his strong physique, while Bai Shuang, Lei Xin’er, and Huai Yu, had to exhaust themselves using the Four Ding Yuan Armor Technique just to barely resist.
Of course, the Gang Wind was not the most frightening aspect.
The most terrifying part was that some ice-type monsters were hiding within this fearsome blizzard.
Because their attributes were very similar to the blizzard, they were very difficult to detect when hidden in it.
At first, they were almost ambushed.
However, at the critical moment, Zhou Yu detected them.
But, as the attacks increased in frequency, Zhou Yu found himself overwhelmed.
Just then, something happened.
The Purple Tiger, which had been asleep in the Four Directions Realm, suddenly woke up and excitedly wanted out.
After weighing the situation, Zhou Yu released it.
Unexpectedly, the Purple Tiger was just like a fish in water here.
It was completely unafraid of the blizzard.
The monsters hiding within, attempting to ambush them, were easily detected by the Purple Tiger and swiftly crushed.
Since the Purple Tiger came out, the pressure on Zhou Yu and his group drastically reduced.
This was why Bai Shuang and the others were envious.
However, Zhou Yu was also very surprised.
He noticed that every time the Purple Tiger attacked those ice-type monsters, it searched their corpses for something.
Sometimes it found fist-sized ice balls, which it would swallow in one bite, displaying a look of satisfaction.
Of course, Bai Shuang and the others didn’t notice, so Zhou Yu didn’t make it known and let the Purple Tiger act freely.
Yet, as the Purple Tiger consumed more and more ice balls, Zhou Yu distinctly felt its aura growing stronger.
He was greatly shocked.
And somewhat worried too.
After all, if it kept growing like this, what if it hit a bottleneck and began evolving on the spot?
It was well-known that spirit beasts like the Purple Tiger made quite a commotion when evolving.
But soon, Zhou Yu’s worries dissipated.
After hunting dozens of ice-type monsters, the terrifying blizzard finally passed.
The ice-type monsters seemed to have completely vanished, never to be seen again.
The Purple Tiger, feeling idle, lay on Zhou Yu’s shoulder, yawning continuously.
Seeing it, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.
Without the blizzard, their progress was much faster.
A half-day later, when they entered another canyon, an elusive pressure suddenly enveloped everyone.
Immediately, Zhou Yu extended his hand to stop everyone.
He squinted, gray light flickering in his eyes, carefully observing the canyon ahead.
Bai Shuang and the others, feeling the pressure, also looked around with serious and cautious expressions.
At this moment, the yawning Purple Tiger suddenly stood up.
It glared at the front, emitting low growls continuously.
Seeing the Purple Tiger’s reaction, Zhou Yu realized that a formidable enemy was approaching.
Just then, Zhou Yu sensed something.
With a grasp, the Green Thunder Saber appeared in his hand.
Holding the Green Thunder Saber, Zhou Yu channeled the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder within him into the saber.
Then, Zhou Yu struck at a cliff within the canyon ahead with ferocity.
In an instant, a tens of fathoms-long sword light, empowered by the Power Of Thunder, fiercely slashed forward.
Bang!
The cliff was shattered instantly.
Large stones began to collapse.
At that moment.
A low, terrifying roar came from the collapsed spot.
Suddenly, gray ice blades surged crazily from the ground beneath the collapse.
These ice blades soared into the sky as if influenced by a powerful force, merging in the air.
In an instant, they formed a massive ice-type demon beast.
Seeing this scene, everyone was initially shocked, but moments later, Bai Shuang and the others’ shock turned to fear.
"No, it’s the Ice Demon!"
"Ice Demon, it’s really the Ice Demon!"
"Wasn’t this monster supposed to be sleeping underground?"
"Why is it coming out!!!"
As the three exclaimed, they watched as a pair of black holes suddenly appeared on the Ice Demon’s head, formed by countless ice blades.
From the black holes, fearsome ice light emanated, instantly locking onto Zhou Yu and the others.
At this moment, the Purple Tiger in front of Zhou Yu also growled continuously, fiercely pawing the ground.
It looked like it was ready to charge ahead.
Right then, Bai Shuang shouted urgently.
"Run!"
"It’s waking up."
With those words, Bai Shuang and the others fled swiftly.
However, after they fled a hundred miles, they discovered that Zhou Yu hadn’t moved from his spot.
Their pace halted, Bai Shuang and Lei Xin’er anxiously watched Zhou Yu, using Divine Thought Communication to urge him to escape.
But Zhou Yu remained still.
He simply lowered his head, looking at the Purple Tiger, communicating with it mentally.
Moments later, Zhou Yu nodded.
"Go!"
Upon hearing this, the Purple Tiger roared and transformed into a purple shadow, dashing forward instantly.
Simultaneously, Zhou Yu’s figure transformed into a black shadow, appearing above the Ice Demon’s head in moments.
The Ice Demon was obviously taken aback that these two ants dared to initiate an attack.
It roared in anger.
Then, its enormous arm swung fiercely at Zhou Yu.
In an instant, Zhou Yu was enveloped in an extremely cold storm.
Zhou Yu felt he might be frozen immediately.
In that moment, the Primordial Spirit Fire on Zhou Yu’s body surged.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Fire Fan appeared in his hand.
Holding the fan, Zhou Yu waved it fiercely.
A violent flame clash met the extreme cold storm in an instant.
The intense shockwave continuously spread around.
At this time, a purple shadow appeared above the Ice Demon’s head.
It was indeed the Purple Tiger.
Upon its appearance, it let out a wild roar.
Its body, initially the size of a lion-dog, unexpectedly grew to tens of fathoms, becoming as large as the Ice Demon.
In its transformed state, the Purple Tiger raised its paw, striking at the Ice Demon’s head.
The Ice Demon was furious and shocked; it never expected this small Purple Tiger to be so terrifying.
Its other hand formed a fist, punching towards the Purple Tiger.
Bam!
The Purple Tiger’s paw clashed with the Ice Demon’s hand.
Instantly, a purple fire ignited on the Purple Tiger.
This Purple Fire, reminiscent of a bone-devouring flame, swiftly began burning along the Ice Demon’s arm.
The Ice Demon emitted a series of enraged and alarmed roars...
