"Giant aerial lizard, now's the time! Charge in!"
With a loud whooshing sound, the giant lizard charged straight at Rune.
"snort!"
Lu En placed Lu Yuan behind him and then snorted coldly.
"Frost Palace, Ice Fortress!"
The phantom of Frost Palace enveloped Rune, and the palace phantom gradually solidified until it completely surrounded Rune.
The next moment.
The giant lizard flew straight into us.
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled as the collision between the giant lizard in mid-air and the Frost Palace generated tremendous impact.
Fortunately, the people present were not stupid; they were far away from Rune and the Sky Giant Lizard.
Otherwise, the aftershocks of this confrontation alone would have been enough to kill any powerful Illusion God.
"The legendary mature Void Lizard is said to be able to drag an entire city and move it around. I've seen it for myself."
The entire Frost Palace shattered instantly, turning back into a phantom. Rune suffered internal injuries as a result, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The earth finally stopped collapsing and was completely frozen by a thick layer of ice.
"I've said before that even among gods, there are differences!" Zhong Bei arrogantly raised his chin. "You think you can stand against the Jiang family? That's just wishful thinking!"
Seeing that his attack was effective, Zhong Bei's expression immediately became arrogant.
"Sky-Soaring Giant Lizards, take them out in close combat!"
"roar--!"
Following Zhong Bei's order, the Sky Giant Lizard immediately pressed its advantage, attempting to kill Rune directly.
However.
Just as it rushed in front of Rune, the latter suddenly emitted a burst of light.
"What?!"
Zhong Bei looked at the blinding light in front of him, his expression calm.
This is not a move that an ice-type beast tamer could use!
Is someone else getting involved?
But then...
He then saw the nature spirit, which had been hiding in the corner, standing behind Rune at some point, using its spiritual power to heal the injuries Rune had just sustained.
"It was you?!"
Zhong Bei's gaze fell on Lu Yuan, who was not far behind him, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
at the same time.
His expression was filled with disbelief.
He knew that the nature spirit possessed powerful healing abilities and was one of Lu Yuan's contracted beasts.
but.
You should know that Lu Yuan's beast taming level is only at the Heavenly Evolution level!
Rune's level had already reached that of a god-level beast tamer, and the spiritual power contained within their bodies was not even on the same level.
Even if that nature spirit has extraordinary healing abilities, the difference in spiritual power alone makes it impossible for it to heal Rune's injuries.
But what he didn't know was...
The spiritual power within Lu Yuan's body cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary beast tamers.
Moreover, Rune's injury was not serious.
It's just treating this minor injury; it's nothing for Xiao Yi right now.
"Cough cough cough!"
Rune coughed twice, and then felt his injuries slowly healing.
The pain disappeared completely after a short while.
"This is……?"
Lu En looked at Lu Yuan with some shock.
Just as Zhong Bei had expected, he hadn't anticipated that Xiao Yi would actually be able to heal her internal injuries.
However, he quickly calmed down.
Lu Yuan has many secrets, and as the savior prophesied by Bai Ze, it's not surprising that his beasts can heal him.
Thinking of this, Lu En took a deep breath and then turned to look at Zhong Bei, who was still in a daze.
"I'm not really confident in confronting the Jiang family, but if it's just about confronting you, I'm quite confident!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rune raised his hand again.
"Frost Nova!"
As the dean of Dragon Academy and a god-level ice-type beast tamer, Rune was also Xiao Tang's teacher.
Both of them are ice-type, and many of their moves were taught to Xiao Tang by Rune.
Xiao Tang's most proficient Frost Nova is also Rune's most skilled move.
Unlike the wide-range Frost Nova used by Xiao Tang, Rune's mastery of this move was much more refined.
The ice ring shattered instantly, enveloping the entire Sky Giant Lizard and freezing it into an ice sculpture.
Although this control could only restrain the powerful Sky Giant Lizard for a moment, it was enough for Rune.
He moved himself to another corner of the Frost Palace, the furthest point from the Sky Giant Lizard. The snowflakes that were slowly falling from the sky suddenly changed direction and all drifted towards the Sky Giant Lizard.
The snowflakes that fell on the giant lizard all bloomed, blossoming into one hard and sharp ice flower after another.
Remember to use an umbrella when it snows!
"May you sleep well in this magnificent coffin!"
Countless frost flowers bloomed continuously on the Sky Giant Lizard's body, the sharp ice flowers constantly squeezing out its living space.
Even the giant lizard's skin, as solid as a city wall, was covered in tiny wounds from the ice flowers.
Its blood stained the ice flowers red, just as Rune had said, making it look like a bewitching and magnificent ice burial.
This move is called "Ice Heaven and Hundred Flowers Burial," and it is one of Rune's killing moves.
For anyone, whether human or beast, being touched by snowflakes will witness this magnificent moment become their final instant.
This move, the "Ice and Flowers Burial," is extremely dangerous.
Whether it's control, damage, or finishing power, it belongs to the top tier among all ice-type beast tamers.
Once infected, there is almost no chance of survival.
Ultimately, they could only die in despair and helplessness under extreme cold and suffocation.
Moreover, the more they struggle, the more they will be injured by the sharp petals.
The extreme cold will flow into their bodies through the wounds, eroding their nerves and brains.
The only thing to be thankful for is...
Those affected will slowly lose their nerves and senses in the extreme cold. They will not even feel pain and can only watch helplessly as they are frozen inch by inch, witnessing their life force slowly draining away from their bodies.
But in contrast.
The release rate of the Ice and Snow Flower Burial is extremely slow.
Even for Rune, it would take a considerable amount of time to accumulate such a large quantity of ice and snow.
This time, the power of the Ice and Snow Burial was hidden within the release of the Ice and Snow.
Zhong Bei completely failed to notice the ice flowers, which were completely different from ordinary snowflakes, causing the giant lizard to fall directly into the trap.
"That's a brilliant tactic!"
Through the bond of the contract, Zhong Bei was able to sense just how terrifying the power of this move was from the Soaring Giant Lizard.
Even the powerful Sky Giant Lizard, through its contract with Zhong Bei, conveyed an emotion called "fear" to him.
"Soaring Giant Lizard, use your fiery passion to break free from your restraints!"
Zhong Bei gritted his teeth and gave the order to the giant lizard.
Passion can further amplify the power of the Sky Giant Lizard, multiplying its original strength.
Back when he first entered the God-level realm, he used this move to kill a veteran God-level Beast Tamer from the Myriad Realms Heaven. At that time, the Bloodthirsty Sky Giant Lizard already possessed the power to shatter space.
However.
Zhong Bei was very reluctant to use this move, mainly because it was too taxing on both him and the Sky Giant Lizard.
But now, the Sky Lizard is trapped in the ice coffin and has no other choice.
If this continues, the life of the Sky Giant Lizard will slowly fade away amidst the icy burial of a hundred flowers.
Rather than waiting to die, let's fight now!
"roar--!"
The extremely angry roar of the giant lizard came from the ice coffin, and then the ice coffin began to tremble violently.
The next second.
The sturdy, heavy ice coffin exploded, and the blood-covered giant lizard broke free from its restraints and charged out!
The giant lizard was steaming from head to toe, and the frost on its body was evaporating at an extremely fast rate.
Just a moment later.
The layers of ice crystals covering his body had completely melted and disappeared.
then.
The giant lizard's furious gaze was fixed on Rune.
Since reaching the god level, it had not been beaten so badly in battle for a long time, and the Rune and Frost Palace in front of it reminded it of the fear of death!
It was precisely because of the fear of death that, despite its extreme anger, the hover lizard did not lose control; instead, it became even more cautious.
Zhong Bei, who sensed the fear and anger of the Soaring Giant Lizard through the Beast Taming Contract, also felt a sense of dread rising in his heart.
There is no one in the world who is completely unafraid of death.
Especially someone like him.
After decades of cultivation, he finally became a god-level beast tamer, gaining wealth, status, and fame. It was the perfect time for him to enjoy his newfound freedom and success.
He hasn't had enough fun yet!
I absolutely do not want to die like this.
What's more, he died in the low-level Ling'an Continent, at the hands of a trash beast tamer he had never taken seriously.
This was an absolute disgrace to him!
Thinking of this, Zhong Bei looked up at Lu En, who stood calmly opposite him.
Now, he's even a little unsure of Rune's strength.
The Sky Giant Lizard almost died from the attack of the Ice Heaven Hundred Flowers Burial, but looking at Rune, he still had that nonchalant look, as if he hadn't used his full strength at all.
Could it be that Rune's spiritual power is even higher than his?!
With this in mind, Zhong Bei's expression became serious.
He dared not gamble.
While the Flying Giant Lizard using the Bloodlust skill is powerful, the duration of Bloodlust is limited.
If they fail to defeat Rune by the time the heat of battle ends, he, the Sky Giant Lizard, and all the assassins sent by the Jiang family will perish here!
Zhong Bei's eyes suddenly turned sharp.
He didn't want to die!
Since that's the case, let's strike first!
"Soaring Giant Lizard, use Sky Pierce!"
Zhong Bei suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing the command, Rune looked at him with a calm expression.
"Even now you don't understand that breaking through the air is no longer effective against me? I'm tired of seeing that skill. Let's change our attack method!"
Having faced these attacks head-on, Rune had already figured out the aerial giant lizard's attack skills and methods pretty well.
As the most direct and brutal skill for breaking through the air, Zhong Bei might have a chance to succeed if he used it to launch a sneak attack, but if he were to launch a direct attack like this, he wouldn't even be able to touch his sleeve.
But then, his expression changed drastically.
Because this piercing force wasn't aimed at him, but rather at Lu Yuan behind him!
Seeing Lu En's shocked and panicked expression, Zhong Bei stood not far away and curled the corners of his mouth.
Didn't Lu En and the people from the Divine Pavilion all want to protect Lu Yuan?
Then he would take them by surprise and attack Lu Yuan directly, bypassing them!
As a god-level beast tamer, he had actually been reduced to ambushing a heaven-level beast tamer. This might become a laughing stock if word got out, but right now all he could think about was how to survive, and he couldn't care less about that anymore!
Seeing that Lu En and the others from the Divine Pavilion had all turned their attention to Lu Yuan, Zhong Bei retreated quickly without hesitation, activating a secret technique in an attempt to escape back to the Myriad Realms Heaven before anyone could react.
As for the others who came with him...
Then life and death are left to fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven!
at the same time.
With a death wish, the Sky Giant Lizard charged towards Lu Yuan. Rune reacted decisively, immediately setting up the Frost Mirror and Frost Fortress to block Lu Yuan's path.
boom--!
A violent impact sound rang out.
The giant lizard crashed into the ice mirror, breaking through the frost fortress.
In the final crucial moment, it was the two little ones, Akazin and Akabane, who sacrificed their lives to block it.
The hovering giant lizard was less than a centimeter away from Lu Yuan.
"call!"
Lu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The all-out attack launched by the god-level beast tamer with a death wish was terrifyingly destructive.
Fortunately, Rune reacted quickly enough; otherwise, even if he had taken Chilin and Chiyu with him, he would have been on the verge of death.
"Thank you very much, Elder Lu!"
Lu Yuan sincerely thanked Lu En.
"It's nothing." Rune waved his hand casually, not taking it to heart at all. Instead, he looked around the entire Beast Taming Arena. "Looks like that guy took this opportunity to escape."
He could no longer sense the presence of any divine-level beast tamers around him. Zhong Bei must have planned this all along, using the opportunity of the giant lizard's desperate attack to draw everyone's attention and escape.
From the very beginning, Zhong Bei's idea was to exchange his life for another's.
Looking at the lifeless giant lizard lying before him, Rune shook his head and sighed.
"Cough cough cough!"
Suddenly.
Rune coughed violently.
"Old Lu!" Lu Yuan was startled and quickly stepped forward to support him. "Are you alright?"
Lu En stood up to fight Zhong Bei to protect him, and he would feel uneasy if Lu En suffered physical damage as a result.
Before Lu En could reply, Lu Yuan immediately raised his hand to summon Xiao Yi.
"Little Yi, quickly use the Universal Salvation skill on Elder Lu!"
A dazzling light flashed, enveloping Rune entirely.
Immediately afterwards, Rune's complexion turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A few minutes later.
Rune's breathing finally calmed down.
"well!"
Rune sighed softly, shaking his head with a sense of helplessness and regret.
"I'm getting old, I'm no longer useful!"
Despite his confident demeanor, he actually couldn't defeat Zhong Bei if Lu Yuan hadn't instructed Xiao Yi to secretly heal him from behind.
Even if he were to manage to kill Zhong Bei by sheer luck, he would certainly not survive.
The best-case scenario is a one-for-one trade.
Now, Zhong Bei is willing to sacrifice the Sky Giant Lizard to create an opportunity to escape. Besides the deterrent effect of the Ice Heaven Hundred Flowers Burial, Lu Yuan and Xiao Yi also deserve credit for their efforts.
Thinking of this, Lu En's gaze towards Lu Yuan became somewhat complicated.
"You even managed to contract a nature spirit with such strong healing abilities, and nurture it so well. It seems I underestimated you before!"
