Chapter 18: Marrying the Ice Empress?
The 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Titan stopped attacking upon seeing this. A hint of humanized teasing appeared in his massive pupils, then he howled to the sky and trotted toward the Ice Stone Forest.
At this moment, it seemed to feel a long-lost pleasure in the chase.
Just like a soul master hunting a soul beast.
However, the roles had now reversed.
The path through the Ice Stone Forest was narrow and winding, but the human body was flexible. Elder Xue and Dugu Han hurriedly shuttled between the ice pillars.
The hundred-meter-tall Ice Demon Titan was so enormous that it could only rush through the ice-stone forest using brute force.
But Dugu Han suddenly looked back and widened his eyes in shock.
Behind him, the ice stalactites, originally towering 20 to 30 meters high and extremely hard, were all overturned onto the ground, snowflakes flying everywhere—yet they posed no obstacle to the Ice Demon Titan.
"What a strong physique!"
Dugu Han was stunned, then hurriedly said to Elder Xue, "Elder Xue, this ice stone forest can't stop it."
Hearing this, Elder Xue soared into the air, breaking free from the narrow and winding paths of the ice-stone forest, and his speed increased once more.
But no matter how fast he flew, the 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Titan always kept a distance of about 100 meters behind them, slowly pursuing them.
After emerging from the ice stone forest, Elder Xue suddenly glimpsed an ice scorpion drinking water by the glacier and was startled!
The ice jade scorpion was over a meter in size, with three overlapping segments on the front of its body. Each segment was slightly longer than half a foot, with a head on the frontmost layer. Its silver-white mouthparts flashed with faint cold light, and atop these three segments were hexagonal scales that shimmered brightly under the sunlight.
Its two yellow vertical pupils also gleamed with a crystal yellow light. Its huge front claws were strong and powerful, and its entire body exuded an extremely terrifying cold aura.
Even from a distance, one could feel the formidable strength of this ice-jade scorpion.
"Young Master, it's the 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion King we encountered before." Elder Xue's face was full of despair.
Now, there was a 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Titan chasing behind them, and ahead, the Ice Jade Scorpion King blocking their path.
Two super soul beasts over 100,000 years old, and in their home territory of the Extreme North. Even if a Super Douluo who had just broken through level ninety-five came, it would be difficult to escape.
"Ice Jade Scorpion King?"
Dugu Han looked over and saw the Ice Jade Scorpion King drinking water. His eyes lit up immediately: "I have a plan. Come on, Elder Xue."
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Elder Xue charged straight toward the Ice Jade Scorpion King.
"Humans!"
The Ice Jade Scorpion King also sensed Dugu Han and Elder Xue. A trace of displeasure flashed in its cold vertical pupils. No matter what kind of soul beast it was, it held no good feelings toward humans.
But when it saw the 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Titan chasing after Dugu Han and Elder Xue, its originally cold pupils grew more solemn and vigilant.
The Ice Demon Titan Clan, which possessed the blood of the Ice God and the Titan, was no less formidable than the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, which had the ultimate ice attribute.
The Ice Jade Scorpion King had fought the 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Titan several times on this ice field, and each encounter ended in a draw.
Elder Xue swiftly approached the Ice Jade Scorpion King until he was about 100 meters away.
Dugu Han had already gathered his soul power and suddenly shouted: "Ice Jade Scorpion King, the 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Titan behind me has threatened to marry the Ice Empress and give birth to a little Ice Demon Titans."
When the Ice Jade Scorpion King heard this, the icy air surrounding its body instantly froze.
The atmosphere seemed completely still, as if frozen in time.
Immediately afterward, the beautiful body of the Ice Jade Scorpion King trembled slightly, and its cold vertical pupils narrowed sharply, staring fiercely at the 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Titan behind Dugu Han. The anger in its eyes was like a volcano about to erupt.
In the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the Ice Empress was their ruler, the symbol of their clan, and extremely noble.
This 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Titan dared to attempt to marry the Ice Empress and give birth to such ugly and barbaric little Ice Demon Titans. In the Ice Jade Scorpion King's eyes, this was simply blasphemy against the Ice Empress and blasphemy against the entire Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.
"Roar——"
"Ice Demon Titan, you are seeking death——"
The Ice Jade Scorpion King roared angrily, its voice filled with coldness and rage. The blue and white sky darkened to a greenish hue, and the murderous intent locked directly onto the Ice Demon Titan.
At this moment, the temperature of the entire ice field plummeted.
Even Dugu Han, an ice-attributed soul master, felt the bone-chilling cold.
Then, the Ice Jade Scorpion King's thick limbs stomped on the ice surface, passing Dugu Han and Elder Xue. It swiftly waved its massive front claws and charged toward the Ice Demon Titan.
"Quick, Elder Xue, let's go!"
Dugu Han urged desperately.
"Bang!"
The Ice Demon Titan hurriedly raised its arm to block the giant claws of the Ice Jade Scorpion King. The impact caused the ice surface to shatter instantly, sending shards flying like sharp blades.
Caught off guard by the fierce attack, the Ice Demon Titan was knocked back repeatedly. Its enormous body skidded on the ice, shattering the layer beneath its feet.
The Ice Jade Scorpion King pressed forward, its tail flickering with cold light like a swift lightning strike, stabbing toward the Ice Demon Titan's neck.
The Ice Demon Titan reacted swiftly, violently shaking its head to avoid the attack, then swung its massive palm to slap the Ice Jade Scorpion King fiercely.
The Ice Jade Scorpion King dodged nimbly, its palm brushing past Ice Jade Scorpion King and sending a gust of cold wind.
Immediately afterward, icy air surged from the front claws of the Ice Jade Scorpion King, condensing into two enormous ice blades surrounded by cold mist.
Seizing the opportunity, it flipped its body in the air, approached the Ice Demon Titan at high speed, raised its front claws, and chopped at the Ice Demon Titan's legs with tremendous force.
The Ice Demon Titan, sensing the threat to its vitals, widened its pupils and quickly raised its two massive palms to cover its vital points.
With a loud "Puff," a deep wound was carved into the back of the Ice Demon Titan's hand, blood gushing out profusely.
"Ice Jade Scorpion King, you're crazy!" the Ice Demon Titan roared with fury.
"Hmph!"
"You deserve to die for insulting our Empress!"
The Ice Jade Scorpion King snorted coldly, raising its massive front claws again to attack the Ice Demon Titan.
