Chapter Thirteen: Mystic Ice and Fire Spirit

  "Whoosh!"

  As the powder was sprinkled down, a long and sticky tongue emerged from the small hole, rolling towards Ding Yao in mid-air.

  Ding Yao's expression remained calm and she did not dodge, instead directly urging her flying sword to slash towards the long tongue.

  "Hsss... wooo..."

  The long tongue was struck by the flying sword, and a whimpering sound came from inside the cave. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the small hole exploded, and a red-and-white striped lizard darted out of it.

  The lizard's eyes blazed like fire, its anger boundless, as it darted out a long tongue and spat out a white flame that shot towards Ding Yao.

  Ding Yao's hands moved nimbly, dodging the attack. The white flame shot into the opposite thicket, exploding in a blinding flash of white light. A towering hundred-year-old tree was instantly reduced to ashes.

  Ding Yao gazed at the trees that had turned into charcoal, and her heart felt a chill. She hastily looked up at Li Mu and shouted: "Li Shixiong, hurry up and release the Ice Seal Symbol!"

  "What's an Ice Seal?" Wang Fei became curious again, his eyes fixed intently. He saw that Li Shixiong had picked up the white Ice Seal and placed it in front of him, muttering to himself for a moment before the seal suddenly ignited with a whooshing sound, and immediately a cold air filled the surroundings.

  Right after that, Wang Fei saw a white light beam shooting out from the disappearing talisman and surging towards the ice-fire lizard.

  Crack... crack... crack...... With the sound of shattering ice, the Ice Fire Lizard was immediately covered in a layer of white ice crystals, transforming into an ice sculpture. The ice sculpture, no longer supported by spiritual energy, rapidly fell to the ground.

  "Haha, everything went smoothly, didn't expect it to be so easy to subdue this beast." Li Mu descended and gazed at the ice-sealed Ice Fire Lizard, dusting off his hands with a composed expression.

  "Li Shixiong, let's hurry up and take out the Xuanbing Fire Spirit from this beast's body!" Ding Yao also flew down, with a hint of excitement.

  Li Mu nodded, turned around and took out a long sword with a flashing green blade from the Lingzhu, stepped forward, just about to slash down, but at the moment he raised his sword, the ice sculpture suddenly shook violently, emitting a buzzing hum.

  The tremors grew stronger and stronger, but in a few moments, cracks appeared on the ice sculpture.

  "This is terrible! I didn't think this thing would be so troublesome. It's actually trying to shatter the Ice Seal!"

  Li Mu's eyes turned cold, his own Ice Seal was a mid-tier seal, even a Spirit Overflowing Grandmaster would find it hard to escape, let alone a first-rate mid-tier demon beast.

  "Boom!" At the moment when Li Mu and Ding Yao were shocked, the ice sculpture had completely shattered. A lizard wrapped in white flames burst out of the ice layer.

  Its eyes were blood red, and inside, a flame could be seen burning fiercely, apparently Ding Yao's actions had thoroughly enraged the beast.

  "Rooooaaaar!!!"

  The Ice Fire Lizard let out a low roar, spewing out several clusters of white flames from its mouth, and on its forehead, a white flame mark was imprinted.

  "Mystic Ice Fire Spirit is the shadow of Mystic Ice Fire Spirit!" Ting Yao was shocked, retreated hastily, and three talismans appeared in his hand.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  A loud rumble sounded, and the three talismans transformed into three screens of light, which floated in front of Ding Yao. The white flames struck the screens, producing a series of loud cracking sounds, with sparks flying everywhere.

  On the other hand, after the Ice Fire Lizard shot out flames, it ignored Ding Yao and instead pounced on Li Muo, opening its mouth to reveal a long tongue that shot out with flames.

  "Hmph, a minor trick!" Li Mu coldly shouted, his incantation fingers moving swiftly. In the palm of his hand, a piece of ice flower suddenly condensed, and then he pushed back with his hand, those ice flowers instantly rushing towards the flame's tongue.

  Ka-ka-ka! The long tongue was enveloped by the ice flower, immediately condensing into shape, and in the blink of an eye it was frozen solid by the ice flower.

  Li Mu was still unsatisfied and drew out his dark green long sword.

  "Green Rock Sword, Slash!"

  Li Mu let out a loud shout, and the long sword suddenly enlarged, transforming into a giant blade several meters high, spinning fiercely as it slashed towards the frozen long tongue.

  "Pffft!" The frozen long tongue was cut off by the Qingyan sword, but a more intense white flame burst out from the severed surface. In an instant, it melted the ice flowers on the tongue, and Li Mu felt as if he were in a sea of fire amidst the icy mountains.

  Li Mu's heart was racing, although there was a protective light screen outside his body, he didn't dare to be careless and hastily took out a Vajra talisman and activated it.

  "Hiss!"

  A burst of golden light suddenly rose, enveloping Li Mu, trying to block that white flame. But he didn't know that the flame was extremely fierce, and all he heard was a loud "boom" as the golden light formed by the Golden Vajra Seal suddenly shattered.

  "Bastard!"

  Li Mu was enraged. He had underestimated the ferocity of Xuan Bing Huo Ling. No longer hesitant, he flipped out several more talismans from his hand and consecutively cast them.

  Suddenly, countless thick smoke rolled up, white flames and colorful lights of talisman fire fought, the forest echoed with sounds, birds and beasts that stopped in the forest were frightened, fled out of the forest, and escaped.

  Even Wang Fei, hiding tens of meters away from them, was affected by the aftershocks and felt his whole body shaking, dizzy and disoriented.

  "Brother Li!"

  Ding Yao relied on the three talismans to escape the flames' attack, and seeing Li Mu in danger, she hastily rode her sword forward, reciting an incantation.

  The leaves around her suddenly flew up, and immediately, Ding Yaoyu's hand lightly waved, those leaves turned into sharp small knives, shooting towards the Ice Fire Lizard.

  "Wooo——"

  Feeling the threat projected from above, the Ice Fire Lizard let out a loud roar. The flame mark on its forehead suddenly burst forth with stardust, and in an instant, the starlight grew brighter and brighter, ultimately illuminating the entire forest.

  "No good! Xuanbing Huoling, it has awakened!"

  Ding Yao's mind and spirit were both shocked. Originally, she had thought to kill the Ice Fire Lizard with one blow, then obtain the unowned Xuan Ice Fire Spirit within its body. However, she had not expected that she would actually enrage this beast, thoroughly triggering the spiritual nature of the fire spirit within its body.

  "What is this thing, Xuanbing Huoling?"

  Wang Fei heard Ding Yao's exclamation, and was shocked beyond measure. However, the current situation did not allow him to think too much, because under that light, with a loud "Boom", the Ice Fire Lizard suddenly burst out, its body expanding greatly, from its original half-zhang length, it instantly grew to two zhang!

  "Brother Li, quickly capture him, we can't afford to delay!" Ding Yao said urgently as he rushed towards Li Mu who had just turned around.

  She then took off a jade ring from her finger and blew on it.

  The jade ring welcomed the air and grew longer, instantly enlarged, Ding Yao's finger pointed, and the jade ring flew towards Binghuo Lizard.

  At the moment when the jade ring fell, a loud explosion sounded, the ground collapsed, and waves of dust were stirred up.

  But when the dust settled, Ding Yao and Li Mu were shocked again.

  All that was seen was a red and white lizard spewing out a puff of turbid air, swaying back and forth as it tried to climb out of the pit.

  "Hmph, I didn't think this beast's vitality was so strong, it can still survive under the attack of a mid-grade artifact! Ding Shimei, let's join forces and give it a fatal blow!" Li Mu's eyes were cold and stern as he controlled the Qingyan Sword in his hand, directly slashing towards the lizard.

  Ding Yao also cooperated very well, her jade hand lifted up, and the ring flew up again, striking down once more.

  "Clang!"

  "Bang!"

  As the two medium-grade artifacts fell, the Ice Fire Lizard's body was cut into two segments. Immediately after, a white orb flew out of its body and escaped upwards with a hissing sound.

  "Want to escape? It's not that easy!" Li Mu's eyes were quick and his hands were swift, seeing the Fire Spirit trying to flee, he let out a cold hum, swung his large hand, and a beam of light shot out from his palm, enveloping the Fire Spirit.
