Su Yun looked at the Fourth-Rank Ice Snake before him, his eyes unwavering, on guard for any sudden attacks, while pondering his battle strategy.
Although he had managed to take down one Fourth-Rank Magic Beast through a sneak attack, the Ice Snake before him was still a tough opponent.
A sneak attack on this Ice Snake wouldn't work as well.
The Ice Snake was protected by an ice armor, making its defenses much stronger than the Water Snake he had killed. He had no confidence in killing it with a single strike.
Otherwise, he wouldn't want to prolong the fight and would simply ambush and kill the Ice Snake and leave.
He absolutely couldn't let the battle drag on for too long.
After all, he was only at the Great Martial Master level, and to challenge a higher rank, he needed to use powerful combat techniques, which consumed a lot of his martial qi.
Su Yun couldn't help but curse inwardly. His Burning Cold Decision was a high-level mystic technique.
However, during this time, whether it was refining fire seeds or flying invisibly, his martial qi was not sufficient.
Actually, this couldn't be blamed on the technique. What he was doing was not something a normal Great Martial Master would do.
Su Yun looked at the two types of beast fire on his body, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly had an idea.
He had overlooked a move before.
Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus!
Copying techniques was great; this move was immensely powerful. A single use would at least severely wound it.
Su Yun grinned, and his figure suddenly flashed, returning to the system space.
The system was his greatest secret. Whether human or beast, anyone who saw it had to die.
The moment Su Yun disappeared, the Ice Snake in the cave's human-like eyes flashed with alertness.
Its snake head looked around the cave but found no sign of Su Yun.
Where did that human go?
The intelligence of a Fourth-Rank Magic Beast was not weak. The Ice Snake flicked its tongue, puzzled.
While in the system space, Su Yun smiled at the Ice Snake that remained in the cave.
Yes, just stay there and wait to die.
Su Yun's hands appeared with green and pink flames, which he slowly combined.
Under Su Yun's control, a lotus flower composed of green and pink appeared in his hands.
Su Yun smiled in satisfaction, but he knew that with this power alone, it probably wouldn't cause much damage to the Ice Snake outside.
The lower limit of the Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus was determined by the user's fire control ability, but the upper limit was determined by the quality of the fire.
The fire extracted from a Fourth-Rank Magic Beast was not particularly strong.
To severely wound the Ice Snake, it was still lacking. Su Yun turned his gaze to the nearby quiet Bonespirit Cold Fire.
Everything in the system space was under Su Yun's control. Separating a bit of fire from the Bonespirit Cold Fire was effortless.
Just like when he refined the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, Su Yun separated a strand of Bonespirit Cold Fire.
Integrating this fire into the lotus, a three-colored, magnificent fire lotus appeared in Su Yun's hands.
Hehe.
Feeling the energy within, Su Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
The Bonespirit Cold Fire was different. He had only extracted a tiny bit of energy, but this energy was enough to easily kill the Ice Snake.
With this thought, Su Yun held the Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus in one hand and returned to the cave.
Looking at the Ice Snake not far away, he used the Mysterious Shadow Step to charge towards it.
Hm!
Seeing Su Yun charge over, the Ice Snake was on guard. Although it couldn't understand how this human appeared, it didn't hesitate to attack Su Yun.
The Ice Snake also charged at Su Yun, opening its massive mouth to bite down.
Just as it was about to bite Su Yun, he vanished just like before.
The Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus in his hand continued its momentum, rushing towards the Ice Snake at the same speed.
Before the Ice Snake could react, the Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus touched its body. In that instant, the lotus petals began to swell and exploded with a deafening boom!
"Boom!"
The thunderous explosion sounded, and the Ice Snake's body was immediately torn apart, its body split into several pieces, flesh and blood mangled.
Its human-like eyes still held a hint of confusion as it died under Su Yun's Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus.
At this moment, Su Yun's figure reappeared, looking at his masterpiece with a satisfied laugh.
Truly marvelous, hehehe!
Su Yun approached the Ice Snake's corpse and stored it in the system space.
Glancing around the cave, he nodded. It was sturdy, not even collapsing from the explosion.
Su Yun spread his Purple Cloud Wing, not intending to stay any longer.
The explosion was loud, and even with the cave's soundproofing, some noise had still escaped.
There was no guarantee that no other Magic Beasts would take advantage of the situation and try to pick up the scraps.
Su Yun popped a few Qi Recovery Pills into his mouth as if they were candy and used the Phantom Shadow Technique to hide his figure.
Ensuring his flight wouldn't make too much noise, he flew out of the cave, about to leave the Beast Mountain Range, when he suddenly returned to the system space.
Su Yun raised an eyebrow. These past few days must be his unlucky days, no doubt about it.
Just now, he sensed another powerful aura flying towards the inner part of the Beast Mountain Range.
Su Yun sat down in the system space, deciding to just watch the show.
The aura he sensed was very vigorous and strong.
It was even more powerful than the Frostbite Double-Headed Hound and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King from a few days ago.
And it carried a heavy, earth-like and mountain-like stability.
In the Jia Ma Empire, such an aura was quite distinctive.
It could only be Jia Xingtian.
A moment later, a yellow aura appeared in the sky over the Beast Mountain Range. As the aura dissipated, the figure of a hemp-robed old man became clearly visible.
Indeed, it was Jia Xingtian.
At this moment, a roar came from a cave.
Then, a group of Magic Beasts from the inner part of the Beast Mountain Range poured out of their dens.
Another powerful aura emerged, carrying a scorching purple hue.
However, compared to Jia Xingtian, it was much weaker.
A Purple Crystal Winged Lion King flapped its massive wings and appeared in the sky.
At the same time, three more Fifth-Rank Magic Beast auras emerged, responding from the ground.
Su Yun nodded.
Jia Xingtian was the protector of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family, with his strength reaching the Peak Nine-Star Battlemaster level.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, on the other hand, was only at the Three-Star Battlemaster level and was in the breeding season, making it no match for Jia Xingtian.
"Human, why are you here?"
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's voice echoed throughout the Beast Mountain Range, but it lacked confidence and sounded weak.
"Nothing, I just sensed a significant aura fluctuation here earlier and came to investigate."
Jia Xingtian's tone was calm as he replied to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
"There's nothing to see here, go back."
Surprisingly, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was quite cooperative.
Clearly, it had sensed that the hemp-robed old man before it was far more powerful than itself.
