Chapter 1071: Dragon Duel

In this place, the formidable Ice Dragon seemed to have countless avatars, with a head occasionally darting out from the surrounding ice blocks.

Each was not an illusion; they were real entities. Lin Nuo felt the impact when he punched one, his hand even experiencing a chilling sensation.

His strikes weren’t soft either. After hitting two dragon heads, his hand already had frostbite.

He pondered that none of these dragon heads were the main body—no matter how hard he hit, he couldn’t inflict any real damage on the Ice Dragon; instead, he was just accumulating the cold sensation.

The many dragon heads roared at him, and a fierce cold wind attacked, with endless shards of ice raining down like a meteor shower.

The space was packed with the Ice Dragon’s freezing attacks; any ordinary person would have already been shot through the heart by countless arrows.

Lin Nuo continued to channel Spirit Technique, strengthening the protective barrier to withstand the explosive ice debris.

But this wasn’t a long-term solution; he was clearly being consumed by the opponent.

“Hehe, human, you’re indeed tenacious. However, here, you have no chance of victory.”

The numerous dragon heads echoed the same voice, their words reverberating throughout the area.

“Wow, how noisy! You know, in a script, characters that love to yap like this don’t last long.”

Am I such a mighty villain, getting taunted in the face?

You just don’t grasp the seriousness of the situation.

Stalling here clearly wouldn’t be wise.

So, all he had to do was break out.

Just find a gap.

Alright, southeast direction, that’s the weakest point.

Lin Nuo locked onto a direction and charged out.

In an instant, he burst into a spot in the southeast, his fist gathering power, igniting fierce gray flames.

Break!

Lin Nuo swung his fist fiercely; despite the blizzard’s ferocity, nothing could stop him.

Bang!

With a loud crash, he created a small hole in the wall of ice.

However, just as he broke through, a dragon head appeared and sealed the hole with its gigantic mouth.

Caught off guard, Lin Nuo was swallowed by the Ice Dragon.

Yet, that dragon head exploded, and Lin Nuo dashed out.

Inside and outside were truly two different worlds, but he finally escaped the ridiculous icy realm.

Clearly, the Ice Dragon’s movements were restricted to that snowy space; once Lin Nuo got out, it couldn’t pursue him.

“Oh? Looks like you can only bark wildly in your territory.”

After coming out, Lin Nuo turned around to retort at the Ice Dragon, just like stepping out of his neighborhood and mocking a ferocious barking dog.

Ice Dragon: “…Fine, human, I’ll spare you for now. I hope you remember your promise to bring Qin Shili over.”

“Bring whom? You think you can let me go? If I hadn’t slipped out, would you have let me go at all? No need for your mercy; I won’t go easy on you either.”

What could have been resolved peacefully was now turned into a battle.

Now that Lin Nuo had escaped, he was at an advantage, able to bounce back and taunt the enemy.

He didn’t flee; instead, he returned to that small hole and jumped back in.

“Human, you won’t leave? Well, you got guts.”

The Ice Dragon attempted to continue attacking Lin Nuo, but Lin Nuo hopped out again.

Ice Dragon: “…Human, I overestimated you. Just go.”

However, before it could finish speaking, Lin Nuo jumped back in again.

The Ice Dragon rushed toward it, and again, Lin Nuo leaped out.

Bouncing around, he kept evading and playing tricks on the Ice Dragon, throwing it off balance.

“Human, what do you want? I offer you an escape, and you refuse? Do you really wish to die here?”

“Exactly, I’m here to get beaten up, that’s my goal.”

Lin Nuo kept jumping in and out, each time maneuvering faster as the Ice Dragon attempted to seal the small hole, but it was utterly unable to catch him.

Reluctantly, the Ice Dragon had to keep the small hole open; otherwise, it could not track Lin Nuo’s movements.

“I say, here you are, a mere divine-level dragon. I’m just waiting for you to bury me. And this is what I get? You’re less impressive than a sewer rat.”

Lin Nuo shook his head and launched another round of taunts. He wasn’t like those arrogant villains who bragged when they had the upper hand; no, he was trying to rage the Ice Dragon into revealing its true form.

If its true form didn’t emerge, he could do nothing about it—attacking the swarm of dragon heads had already numbed his hands.

“In this place, you’re the only one brave enough to call me that. Fine!”

The Ice Dragon was provoked to a new height by Lin Nuo. If it didn’t silence this human, what face would it have left?

In an instant, the ice blocks in the frozen space shattered, and all the dragon heads converged, forming a complete Ice Dragon.

Its body wasn’t exceptionally large, composed entirely of frozen ice blocks; its imposing presence sent shivers through Lin Nuo.

“Human, you will pay the price for your words and actions.”

Saying this, the Ice Dragon let out an enraged roar, causing the entire tunnel to tremble, the cold winds surging rapidly, freezing everything on-site.

Lin Nuo retreated quickly, but the freezing ice was incredibly rapid; he soon had no place to back into, and the cold wind slammed into him.

Everything was frozen, completely turning into an icy world.

At this moment, outside, Qin Shili still waited, sensing a powerful surge of spirit energy and chilling aura emanating, rapidly freezing the sealed exit.

She hurriedly withdrew, caught off guard by the suddenness of it.

“What… what’s going on…?”

She had no idea who in the tunnel could wield such chilling powers.

Lin Nuo, what happened to him?

Worry crept in, and she attempted to break the ice but found it nearly impossible, the ice blocks were incredibly solid, even her fire techniques couldn’t burn through.

Her anxiety grew, deeply worried for Lin Nuo.

Inside, Lin Nuo was already encased in ice, turned into an ice sculpture. The frozen fury left no corner untouched; everything was trapped in ice.

“Human, you’ll regret this, but it’s too late now.”

The Ice Dragon used Spirit Technique to transfer Lin Nuo, believing that this disrespectful human would be forever frozen.

As for Qin Shili, it figured it would have a chance to meet her.

The Ice Dragon prepared to take Lin Nuo away, but suddenly, the ice on Lin Nuo started to crack, and he broke free from the freezing.

“This…?!”

The Ice Dragon was shocked; how was this possible? How could he escape?

Lin Nuo’s gaze was deep, silent as he circled the Ice Dragon, placing some Dao Fu on it.

When you’re fierce, there’s less chatter—just waiting for this moment.

Everything was set; you can now lie down.

“Punishment of the Sinful Beast.”

He uttered a phrase, and a bolt of lightning shot down, piercing through the layers of obstacles in the underground passage, striking the Ice Dragon.

The lethal power of the lightning was immense; even the high-ranking Ice Dragon couldn’t withstand it.

“This… ah!”

With a cry of pain, it collapsed to the ground.
