Chapter 1861: Chapter 1861: Seven Inches
The white-scaled serpent wound around Li Feng’s neck, leaned its head to listen to his chest.
Could it be a mere illusion?
The white-scaled serpent has high Spiritual Wisdom, muttering to itself, when suddenly, a thumping heartbeat echoed.
The white-scaled serpent was startled; there really is a heartbeat, impossible!
The Heavenly Frost Cold Air of this Ice Lake is extremely cold, although she had utilized this Domain, borrowing the Heavenly Frost Cold Air, and the giant serpent body was merely her puppet, controlled through certain methods.
Moreover, she had seen the outside world; just a few hundred meters away is a Magma Lake, its scorching fire waves filling every corner of the cave, and only here can one feel none of the heat.
Since her birth, creatures have trespassed here, but all succumbed to the erosion of Heavenly Frost Cold Air, turning into ice sculptures, completely frozen from inside out.
The last time, a molten giant serpent crawled in, causing the appearance of that large serpent earlier; of course, at that time, the giant serpent was entirely crimson, not white as ice, yet immensely powerful.
Even so, she managed to eliminate it using this Ice Lake, and as for that large serpent’s body, it remains beneath the lake, serving as her lair.
Could it be because of the Vermilion Bird Bloodline?
The white-scaled serpent doesn’t know why she knows of the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, it’s simply there in her memory.
The opponent still has a heartbeat, meaning he’s not completely dead, only decapitation will do.
With that thought, the white-scaled serpent directly coils around Li Feng’s frozen neck, intending to strangle him.
Although feeling a bit lonely in this Ice Pond, she never sought someone to keep company, wary of ill intentions.
The Ice Lotus in the lake is hers.
No one shall compete over it.
Li Feng was oblivious to the rich inner world of the white-scaled serpent wrapped around his neck, indeed the Heavenly Frost Cold Air is lethal.
Li Feng had experienced it before, though that time was after passing Heaven Tower, where the Frost Cold Air was less intense than here.
Back then, it was the Purple Flame swallowing the Frost Cold Air that allowed passage, this time, the Heavenly Frost Cold Air is far more concentrated.
Yet Li Feng’s strength rises, incomparable to before; though his body exterior froze into ice, his organs and Bloodline remained unscathed, only the influence of Frost Cold Air put Li Feng in a dormant state.
Previously, heartbeats occurred a hundred times per minute, now perhaps only once every minute or two, as if frozen in slumber.
If this state isn’t lifted, with metabolism lowered, it might be akin to frozen dormancy, awakening to a century later yet seeming to have merely slept, body functions preserved as a century prior.
The Heavenly Frost Cold Air penetrated his body, heading to the Dantian, surprisingly merging with Candle Dragon Fire.
Swiftly absorbed by Candle Dragon Spark, where initially having consumed vast Earth Fire Energy, though the Candle Dragon Spark absorbed some, it clearly fell short against Vermilion Bird Fire and Fire-eating Blue Flame, two Abnormal Fire Sparks.
Unexpectedly, the Candle Dragon Spark hungrily devours the Heavenly Frost Cold Air, even growing a bit larger.
Li Feng marveled at the sight yet didn’t interfere; beyond the Golden Core, these three sparks were evenly matched, having consumed much Earth Fire Energy, destabilizing their power.
While balance may break, it poses little threat; originally, Li Feng sought to suppress Candle Dragon Fire, yet always failing to erase its imprint, forming this spark.
As Candle Dragon Fire strengthens, Li Feng is unconcerned, with the other two sparks providing restraint, not to mention Li Feng’s superior Thunder Flame Golden Core.
The invading Heavenly Frost Cold Air swiftly consumed, the Burning Technique in operation, Vermilion Bird Bloodline circulating throughout, restoring Li Feng’s being though encased in ice, recovering to seventy or eighty percent.
At this moment, the white-scaled serpent exerted its utmost, endeavoring to strangle Li Feng’s neck.
Crack, crackle.
The outer Ice Crystal bore the strain, fissures sounding, delighting the white-scaled serpent, she redoubled her efforts.
Pop.
The Ice Crystal finally shattered.
Yet the white-scaled serpent hadn’t anticipated Li Feng’s head remaining intact, while Ice Crystal fragments scattered.
Lifting its head, the white-scaled serpent met Li Feng’s gaze.
Before she could blink, Li Feng seized the white-scaled serpent at its vital point; in youth, Li Feng often caught snakes.
After all, snake gall is a fine medicine.
The white-scaled serpent writhed in shock, attempting escape, but with its vital point seized, it’s helpless.
"Release me, Snake Lord, or face dire consequences."
The white-scaled serpent’s spiritual power echoed in Li Feng’s mind, though he wasn’t hurried to end the serpent’s life.
Though frozen into an ice sculpture, his Divine Sense remained, witnessing the large serpent’s dissolution, followed by the emergence of the white-scaled serpent from the lake.
Clearly, the previous large serpent was conjured by the white-scaled serpent.
No wonder the opponent initially opted for intimidation, bidding Li Feng leave, rather than an immediate strike.
Li Feng grasped the white-scaled serpent, clicked his tongue.
"Almost fooled by you, the serpent earlier was likely you. Now captured, what makes you think I’ll meet a dire end?"
The white-scaled serpent hesitated, its human-like expression intrigued Li Feng; high Spiritual Wisdom indeed, strength lacking, but given time, might achieve fruition.
The white-scaled serpent muttered, "That’s your assumption, the large serpent was my mother. Release me now while you can, else regret awaits."
With those words.
Ripples arose on the lake, a giant serpent’s head emerged.
"See, my mother observes; best release me now."
The white-scaled serpent threatened.
Li Feng watched the giant serpent rising, slightly furrowing his brow, was his speculation wrong?
Li Feng dismissed the thought, regardless.
Falling into a trap earlier, frozen into an ice sculpture, it’s time for retribution.
"So be it, just right for payback." Li Feng declared, drawing the King Sword, unleashing Thunderflame Sword Energy.
The white-scaled serpent remained speechless, only able to witness Li Feng’s sword strike, closing its eyes the next second.
The appearing giant serpent was merely a puppet, prior techniques were her manipulation from behind.
With her vital point grasped, she may cause this giant serpent to emerge, yet unable to launch attacks, let alone freeze Li Feng into an ice sculpture once more.
Such despicable human.
Does he not fear anything?
