Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 90, Section 89: The Hunt, The Fourth Soul Ring (Part 2)

Ling Bingtian's eyes were filled with indifference. If it were a herbivorous soul beast, there was no possibility that it had never harmed humans.

However, the number of human lives killed by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast like the Three-Eyed Ice Fox, which is also irritable and omnivorous, is probably beyond Ling Bingtian's wildest imagination.

Therefore, Ling Bingtian naturally wouldn't hold back.

Before the first ice arrow could fully detonate, he drew back the bowstring, conjured the same arrow as the first one, and fired two more ice arrows, aiming directly at the three-eyed ice fox's exposed vulnerable abdomen and already injured head.

Even with Ling Bingtian's current level of three-stage soul power wheel, the three arrows were somewhat overexerted.

The power of thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul skills is immense, but their consumption is equally considerable.

So, at the same time the third ice arrow was fired, Ling Bingtian also activated his first soul skill, transforming the longbow in his hand into the Frost Soul Chain Dragon Spear, and charged forward.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!

Now that Ling Bingtian had the upper hand, he would not give the Three-Eyed Ice Fox any chance to turn the tide. Since he could no longer kill it from a distance with arrows, Ling Bingtian would not be afraid of close combat either.

And as it turned out, his decision to charge forward was not wrong.

Just as Ling Bingtian shot the other two arrows at the Three-Eyed Ice Fox, the Three-Eyed Ice Fox, which had lived for tens of thousands of years, instinctively felt a deadly crisis approaching. Having experienced this feeling many times, the Three-Eyed Ice Fox did not hesitate at all and directly activated its only remaining innate soul skill.

violent!

The three-eyed ice fox's white fur, which was only stained with traces of blood, turned blood red almost instantly, and its body grew several times larger, even towering above the surrounding ancient trees.

A terrifying aura emanated from the Three-Eyed Ice Fox, and all its wounds except for the one above its third eye were healing at an unimaginable speed.

The ice arrows that were originally aimed at its two vital points lost their effectiveness as its size increased.

The ice arrow originally aimed at the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's abdomen ended up hitting its thick right leg before exploding; the other arrow was detonated by Ling Bingtian before it even entered the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's shoulder.

The location where the ice arrow exploded was less than three meters away from the left side of the enlarged head of the Three-Eyed Frost Fox.

This distance was even closer than the distance between the first arrow and the Three-Eyed Ice Fox.

The exploding ice-attribute soul power and a large amount of ice shards once again covered the face of the Three-Eyed Ice Fox. However, this time the Three-Eyed Ice Fox had learned its lesson. Before the ice arrow arrived, it turned its head away in advance and tensed the muscles facing the ice arrow to resist the possible explosion.

A hint of disdain flickered in its enormous, now bloodshot eyes. Its mind, possessing intelligence no less than that of an average human, chuckled, "Foolish human, do you think you can fool me twice with the same trick? Hmph..."

Even Ling Bingtian probably couldn't have imagined that this three-eyed Ice Fox could maintain a highly calm and rational thought process while in berserk mode. Generally speaking, soul beasts that activate berserk soul skills are unable to maintain a calm state.

As it turns out, the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's head-turning and muscle-controlling technique did indeed provide a good defense against Ling Bingtian's explosive ice arrows.

The explosion of the last arrow only caused it some superficial wounds again, then froze part of its neck, but did not affect its face at all.

"Now it's time for my revenge!" The Three-Eyed Ice Fox gritted its teeth and thought viciously to itself, feeling the chill on its neck and the pain in its right hind leg. It was already plotting how to torture Ling Bingtian to death.

However, when the Three-Eyed Ice Fox turned its head to check where Ling Bingtian had just been, it could no longer find him.

"Where is he?" The Three-Eyed Ice Fox wondered, when suddenly, an even more deadly aura rose from its heart.

"Not good!" The Three-Eyed Ice Fox tried to retreat, but it was too late.

An extremely terrifying chill suddenly rose from the blind spot below its neck, and beneath the head that the Three-Eyed Ice Fox could not see, a strong blue light suddenly emanated from Ling Bingtian's back.

Ultimate Nine Hundred Thousand Year Frost Ice Dragon Torso Bone Domain Technique - Ice Emperor Dragon Domain!

Ultimate Nine Hundred Thousand Year Frost Dragon Body Bone Soul Skill - Absolute Frost Breath!

Unlike spirit rings, which are affected by Ling Bingtian's physical attributes, spirit bones are less affected in this regard. The two Frost Dragon Body Bone Spirit Skills that Ling Bingtian is currently using already have the effect of spirit skills that are nearly 80,000 years old!

With the terrifying ice attribute affinity bonus from the Ice Emperor Dragon Domain, coupled with the Frost Dragon's signature divine skill, this Absolute Frost Breath is almost as powerful as the strongest attack that an ordinary Soul Saint can unleash.

A massive, icy blue breath erupted from Ling Bingtian's mouth, striking the already frozen neck of the Three-Eyed Ice Fox. Following it, a dozen or so icy frost dragons surged forth, all lunging towards the area below the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's neck.

A terrifying blast of cold air surged into the existing ice, and the released energy quickly spread outwards, reaching the entire neck and surrounding areas of the Three-Eyed Ice Fox.

The extreme cold even froze the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's mind to the point of near stagnation. By the time Ling Bingtian finished exhaling and arrived directly below its neck, its entire head and neck had been frozen solid by Ling Bingtian's absolute icy breath.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Bingtian leaped forward, aiming the tip of his Frost Soul Chain Dragon Spear at the neck of the Three-Eyed Ice Fox, and plunged it in fiercely.

Another major characteristic of Ice Weapon Condensation is that the weapon it condenses can freely travel through the ice.

Therefore, while Ling Bingtian plunged the tip of the Frost Soul Chain Dragon Spear into the neck of the Three-Eyed Ice Fox, he quickly mobilized the little remaining but rapidly recovering soul power in his body and frantically extended the shaft of the Frost Soul Chain Dragon Spear.

"Sizzle—"

With a series of soft tearing sounds coming from the ice, the life force in the already frozen and dull eyes of the Three-Eyed Ice Fox quickly vanished.

The 50,000-year-old Three-Eyed Ice Fox is dead!

Ling Bingtian expressionlessly swept the extended version of the Frost Soul Chain Dragon Spear in his hand, and the entire head of the Three-Eyed Ice Fox was completely severed off. A black soul ring shimmering with intense light slowly emerged from its massive body.

Ling Bingtian gazed at the black spirit ring before him. The indifference he had maintained throughout the battle slowly faded, replaced by excitement. He then dismantled the extended version of the Frost Soul Chain Dragon Spear in his hand. Blood from the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's head immediately flowed from the pierced hole, staining the entire block of ice encasing its head crimson.

"Clap, clap, clap..." A series of clapping sounds came from behind Ling Bingtian. Ling Bingtian subconsciously condensed a Cold Soul Chain Dragon Spear and thrust it behind him, but it was caught by a hand wrapped in soul power.

"Xiao Tian, ​​calm down, it's me." A familiar voice came, and Ling Bingtian looked closely and realized that the person who came was Ling Yongsheng, who had been following him all the way. He saw that Ling Yongsheng was holding the pirated Cold Soul Chain Dragon Spear that he had thrust at him with one hand, while the other hand was still in a clapping position.

But most importantly, it was the satisfied smile on his face.

After Ling Bingtian withdrew his Frosty Soul Chain Dragon Spear, Ling Yongsheng clapped and said, "Well done, Xiaotian! That unexpected combo was brilliant! You actually took down a soul beast with 50,000 years of cultivation just like that."

"Hehe." In front of his grandfather, Ling Bingtian wasn't so modest anymore. He scratched his head happily and replied, "Grandpa, actually, I also benefited from the Three-Eyed Ice Fox's inherent ice attribute and the advantage of ambushes. My divine ice is really too effective against ice attribute soul beasts like them. If it were a 50,000-year soul beast of another attribute and I couldn't ambush them, I probably would have had to run away too."

"There's no need to be overly modest; excessive modesty is hypocrisy. I dare say that even the renowned Sea God Tang San, at your current age, is no match for you," Ling Yongsheng said proudly. A Soul Master being able to kill a Soul Beast with 50,000 years of cultivation on his own, even with the advantages of attribute restraint and a sneak attack, is unimaginable.

Ling Yongsheng truly didn't believe that Tang San could possess such abilities at the age of 11. In fact, his guess was correct.

"Alright, we can't stay here any longer. Hundreds of miles away, I've sensed the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Let's quickly absorb this 10,000-year-old soul ring and leave this place as soon as possible; it's still too dangerous here."

Although Ling Yongsheng really wanted to praise Ling Bingtian again, he knew that the time and place were not very suitable. They were already quite close to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, and it wouldn't be unusual for them to encounter one or two 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"Alright." Ling Bingtian knew what was important and what was urgent. After hearing Ling Yongsheng's words, he quickly sat down cross-legged and began to guide the soul ring of the 50,000-year-old Three-Eyed Ice Fox not far away.

The black spirit ring was quickly attracted by Ling Bingtian's spirit power, and began to slowly establish a connection with him, merging into a part of him.

As Ling Bingtian began to fuse his fourth soul ring, Ling Yongsheng also began to cautiously observe the surrounding environment.

If Ling Yongsheng hadn't just enjoyed watching it and hadn't stopped Ling Bingtian from killing the Three-Eyed Ice Fox, he would never have let Ling Bingtian kill it directly. After all, the spirit ring couldn't move too far, and this place was far too dangerous.

But now that he had no other choice, Ling Yongsheng could only carefully observe his surroundings and pray that no 100,000-year-old soul beast would suddenly appear.
