Chapter 1066: Dragonslayer Hanxiang
Meanwhile, Sun Mengmeng was exchanging blows with the ice queen.
The ice queen laughed as the white world's energy condensed over her palm. "Haha! To dare to invade my white world—no matter who you are, you'll all die here today!"
"[Lunar Apostasy]!" Sun Mengmeng's entire bow was blazing. She launched her arrows straight into the air, which exploded among the clouds and formed a black moon, which exploded into rays of moonlight.
The ice queen shot out her concentrated energy of ice, forming an avalanche that melted Sun Mengmeng's attack away. She smiled again. With her other hand, she condensed more energy. "You might have some strength, but how about your companions? Are they as strong as you are?"
As she shot out her energy, countless spikes of ice appeared over the ground, like a forest of icicles.
Sun Mengmeng pulled her bow taut. Flames surrounded her body. She shot out an arrow, melting the spikes that protruded toward her. "My companions aren't weaker than I am."
"Indeed? It looks to me as though they're about to die. No invader can enter my world and leave alive." The ice queen again gathered the energy of ice and frost. She invoked her proof of kingship, concentrating the energy and causing the temperature around her to drop even further.
Suddenly, however, that energy weakened. As she felt the energy in her hands being snatched away, the ice queen looked toward the source of the problem.
Zhang Hanxiang was raising her hands high into the sky, surrounded by white snow. She looked like the queen of the white world, and she was the one who had snatched away the energy of ice and frost that the ice queen had gathered.
.
The ice queen was shocked beyond belief. "What's going on?"
Was this still her world?
Zhang Hanxiang struck. Even the crystal dragon, who lived in icy-cold seawater, felt a bone-chilling frost permeate him, freezing even his blood.
Ice and snow surrounded Zhang Hanxiang like a pristine flower of ice. Zhang Hanxiang launched palm strikes continuously before her, infusing that energy into every strike.
Sharp flowers of ice struck the crystal dragon, causing it to howl in pain, struggling futilely. Its crystalline scales were smashed to pieces as pale blue blood dripped down from the dragon's body. It roared in rage and pounced toward Zhang Hanxiang, opening its bloody maws wide and intending to swallow her whole.
Zhang Hanxiang's eyes turned colder than they had ever been before. All the energy of the white world swirled around her. With a loud yell, she froze time and karma itself. One final strike caused the crystal dragon, trailing pale-blue beads of blood, to fall from the sky.
[You successfully killed the monarch-grade crystal frost dragon. By consuming the flesh of the monarch-grade crystal frost dragon, you may receive one to ten monarch gene fragments.]
"What?!" Zhang Hanxiang was flabbergasted. That crystal dragon was monarch-grade!
Zhang Hanxiang's current combat strength shouldn't have allowed her to kill a monarch-grade lifeform; she had been tremendously boosted by the white world's energy.
Although the crystal dragon was particularly resistant to ice, Zhang Hanxiang had been able to command over half the energy of ice and frost that the white world had accumulated, and that incredible energy was more than sufficient to overcome the crystal dragon's resistance.
Even Sun Mengmeng was shocked to see Zhang Hanxiang end her battle first. After all, Zhang Hanxiang was the weakest among the three hunters.
Compared to Sun Mengmeng, however, the ice queen was even more astounded. Zhang Hanxiang had taken down the crystal dragon, one of the combatants of the white world with the strength of a superior king, within moments. Even more shockingly, Zhang Hanxiang was able to command the energy of ice and snow of the white world.
Just who was she??The ice queen cried out, "What sort of monsters are you?!"
The white world was her world! How could Zhang Hanxiang be able to use that power? This was impossible—who was she?
The ice queen forced herself to remain calm. "So what if you can defeat my crystal dragon? My beast of war and ice, who has been hibernating for tens of thousands of years, is a tyrant of the battlefield.
"I expect your companion won't even be able to break through its defense. Among the three thousand worlds, only existences like the king of keys and the king of chaos have sufficient strength to do so. Your companions will never succeed!"
Beside Sun Mengmeng, Sun Xiaowu and tens of thousands of his golden clones were charging toward the mountainous beast, which sprayed out a pillar of white light.
Perhaps because the previous attack had been amassed over tens of thousands of years, the current beam attack wasn't as strong as the previous one, but was far more than sufficient to deal with Sun Xiaowu.
The beam of white light swept horizontally through the battlefield, freezing Sun Xiaowu's clones.
"[Golden Divide: Soar]!"
Tens of thousands of Sun Xiaowu's clones raised their hands as one. Golden radiance lit up the battlefield, illuminating the white world, as though the ice had been plated with a layer of gold.
The blinding radiance forced the other combatants to look away for a few moments. Sun Xiaowu's ten thousand clones simultaneously struck with [Golden Divide], forming a sea of resplendent gold.
Even so, the gold was frozen by ice and frost.
"[Adamantine Aegis]!" A series of golden runes glowed over Sun Xiaowu's skin, shining brightly like a brand. Beneath the ice, those runes simultaneously shone over the ten thousand clones' skin, breaking them free.
The mountainous beast slowly raised a humongous foot, intending to stomp Sun Xiaowu into oblivion.
The huge foot cast a shadow over their heads. The foot was large enough to be able to turn an entire city into ruins.
"[Goldenscale Palm]!" As he shook chunks of ice from his body, Sun Xiaowu's aura grew as resplendent as the sun. He clenched his fist. A layer of dense golden scales emerged over his arm. Sun Xiaowu punched forward, sending frightening shockwaves of energy radiating through the battlefield...
