But he had no choice but to advance.
Xiao Zhan saw Bing Hong approaching and having achieved his own goal, he immediately changed direction without courtesy and attacked Bing Hong.
Bing Hong swung his sword to block, but chose not to clash head-on with Xiao Zhan. Instead, he subtly shifted far away after blocking.
Unfortunately for him, Xiao Zhan saw through his ploy.
As soon as Bing Hong made any slight move to distance himself, Xiao Zhan immediately took the chance to increase the distance in the opposite direction and then charged towards the Ice Dragon.
This left Bing Hong no choice but to confront Xiao Zhan head-on.
But in a head-on confrontation, he was no match for Xiao Zhan. After just a few exchanges, he quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan, energized, crazily drove his Spirit Manipulation Energy, relentlessly bombarding him, seeking to eliminate him swiftly.
Bing Hong struggled desperately, really wanting to escape, but the fate of his entire tribe rested on his shoulders, so he had no choice but to endure.
Yet, enduring would not change his fate. It would only hasten his demise.
In his despair, he directly activated his Battle Spirit Form!
With the Battle Spirit Form, he instantly turned the tide from passive to advantageous, continually counterattacking against Xiao Zhan.
However, at this moment, Xiao Zhan changed his mode of attack from aggressive assault to absolute defense.
Constantly dodging, solely to delay Bing Hong’s time.
The Battle Spirit Form was time-limited; once the time passed, he would be like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
Thus, Bing Hong became anxious again. Read full story at NovelHub(.)net
He was anxious when he was at a disadvantage, and now anxious even when at an advantage; he was completely outplayed by Xiao Zhan.
On the other side, the fight between Huo Lingjun and the Ice Dragon was not as intense.
Huo Lingjun also opted for a time-delaying tactic, knowing the key to the battle was with Xiao Zhan. As long as Xiao Zhan could spare a hand, there was still hope.
Thus, she and Huo Liuli, mainly focused on dodging, strived their utmost to drag out the time.
In contrast to them, the Ice Dragon wanted a quick resolution. Frustrated by their evasion, he was unable to subdue them.
Huo Lingjun was backed by the Fiery Fire Array. Within the entire array, they moved freely.
Although the Ice Dragon had the support and enhancement of the Mystic Ice Dragon, he couldn’t spread his cold energy throughout the entire array, only affecting a specific area.
This put him in a passive position.
However, this situation did not last long. Being stronger was an enduring advantage; mere evasion was not a solution.
After all, Huo Lingjun and Huo Liuli were Artifact Spirits without a Spirit Master’s Contract, and their full potential could not be exerted.
And with the Ice Dragon having the advantage of a Contract, coupled with the enhancement from the Mystic Ice Dragon, his strength was elevated to a new level.
The enemy is strong, I am weak.
Huo Lingjun couldn’t hold out against it.
Thus, as time went on, the Ice Dragon steadily drove Huo Lingjun into desperation.
Seizing an opportunity, the Ice Dragon speared Huo Lingjun, sending her flying and crashing heavily onto the ground.
Without giving her a chance to recover, he thrust his long spear, aiming to take Huo Lingjun’s life.
Seeing this, a hint of despair flashed in Huo Lingjun’s eyes, but this despair quickly disappeared, replaced by a fierce determination!
Her body instantly turned into a mass of red flames; the spear thrust forward, and she narrowly dodged this lethal blow.
Immediately after, she quickly retreated to the center of the Array.
That was the location of the pillar of fire.
Beneath that pillar of fire, there was an altar.
Without any hesitation, she jumped onto the altar and drove it with herself as the core, suddenly a thicker and deeper colored pillar of fire surged to the sky!
The emergence of this pillar of fire caused the body of the circling phoenix on the Fiery Fire Array to rapidly swell, and in no time, it grew to a size that blotted out the sun and sky!
A terrifying pressure enveloped, causing everyone on the battlefield to stiffen!
"It’s the Fiery Fire Phoenix!"
The members of the Earthfire Tribe showed expressions of joy; the Fiery Fire Phoenix is the attacking lethal technique of the Fiery Fire Array, once deployed, its power is extraordinary.
Every attack from the Mystic Ice Tribe previously had been repelled by this move.
The Clan Leader using this move signaled that this battle was nearing its end.
On the side of the Mystic Ice Tribe, seeing this huge Flame Phoenix stirred up memories of past defeats, instilling fear in everyone.
However, these emotions were just the reactions of the ordinary tribespeople.
The real leaders saw through the essence immediately; this was Huo Lingjun’s last stand before her impending death.
Bing Hong’s face lit up with joy; Huo Lingjun using this move meant the battle was drawing to a close, and his mission was soon to be completed.
But just then, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Then, a cold voice entered his ears.
"Knowing full well you are no match for me, yet you dare to be distracted, truly not taking me seriously."
Xiao Zhan struck Bing Hong, killing him with a single blow, and without looking back, he charged toward Bing Xiao.
At this moment, the Ice Dragon, with fervent eyes, faced Huo Lingjun’s final counterattack without fear, even with a hint of mockery.
Because he was all too familiar with this move, having been defeated by it every time in the past.
But today, it was his moment to wipe away previous humiliations.
This move might have worked before, but today, it was absolutely futile!
His Spirit Manipulation Energy surged, and he tossed the Mystic Ice Spear in his hand into the air, transforming it into a Mystic Ice Dragon!
But this Mystic Ice Dragon was not as large as Bing Xiao’s, yet in terms of frigid intensity, it was hardly much weaker.
"Huo Lingjun, today is your day of death, no one can save you! Spirit Manipulation Technique, Mystic Ice Dragon Strike!"
The Ice Dragon coldly shouted, propelling the Mystic Ice Dragon to roar towards Huo Lingjun’s Fiery Fire Phoenix!
The Fiery Fire Phoenix spiraled high in the sky, then let out a resounding phoenix cry. Its body aflame with crimson fires, it too charged towards the Mystic Ice Dragon!
Fire and ice, white and red, two different worlds suddenly collided!
The collision of ice and fire instantly unleashed immense power.
Red and white shot up into the sky, waves of heat mingling with bizarre coldness, radiating outwards.
Like waves of air, the shock reverberated through everyone present.
Some tribespeople, whether from Earthfire Tribe or Mystic Ice Tribe, who were too close and couldn’t avoid it, had their lives instantly taken away.
Others, who were farther away, also stopped their attacks at this moment, each exerting their fullest strength to resist this wave-like surge of energy.
Xiao Zhan, who was advancing, inevitably got shaken as well, he stepped back repeatedly, nearly losing his balance and falling to the ground.
Only after retreating several steps did he manage to stabilize himself.
