Chapter 1018: Mantis Blade Sect

The waters were indeed becoming muddied.

An Ice Beast King had suddenly appeared near the Ice Island, a crazed Ice Beast King as it was. Once it appeared, it started killing indiscriminately. The Dwarf Race, Fire Chi Race, and the Mammoth Race were just in the vicinity; and they were all killed by the Ice Beast King. The other martial artists in the area were also killed. The Tiger Subdue Sect also suffered significant losses while this Ice Beast King was still running amok in the Ice Sea.

The news spread like snowflakes throughout the Snow Region. It was as if an earthquake had happened in the Snow Region. Countless martial experts from the great races, as well as martial artists from the other small races, sped towards the Ice Sea. They were prepared to join hands and kill the Ice Beast King and to take one’s share of the loot.

The ice beasts and ice imps were special demonic beasts in the Snow Region. They were goblins formed from ice and snow. Every ice beast and ice imp possessed a pure ice power.

This ice power was as precious as the power of the stars. It was extremely beneficial to the formidable martial artists’ cultivation. Hence, all races had sent men to kill ice beasts, using their bodies to exchange for battle credit.

It was even more so for Ice Beast Kings and Ice Imp Kings. The ice power in their bodies was even purer, even more powerful. An Ice Beast King or Ice Beast Imp was more valuable than a hundred ice beasts or ice imps. Once an Ice Beast King or Ice Imp King appeared, there would be a huge battle among the races to fight over it. Every time that happened, there would be a huge loss of life and injuries.

This time round, the losses were unheard of. Three young clan heads from three races had all perished!

When the Dwarf Race’s army arrived near Ice Island and saw the corpses littering the area, it was obvious that many bore bite marks from an ice beast. The whole army went berserk and rushed crazily to the north. The Ice Beast King had gone to the north; it was said that the Tiger Subdue Sect had already lost many men to the Ice Beast King.

North of the Ice Sea, an enormous being was indeed killing indiscriminately. There were a few thousand men from Tiger Subdue Sect and four or five other races battling with it. The Clan Heads from those four or five races had come personally, wanting to kill the Ice Beast King firsthand and obtain the ice powers inside it.

Many people were watching from the sidelines. What made them wonder was that the Sect Patriarch of Tiger Subdue Sect had not appeared. This place was closest to Tiger Subdue Sect. If Cao Peiwen had come, this Ice Beast King would long have been killed.

The Ice Beast King’s appearance was horrifying. Its body was shaped like a huge lizard while it was as long as 400-500 feet. Its snow-white body was filled with numerous, spiky scales. Its iron tail was the most terrifying. Once hit by the tail, even four-star and five-star martial experts would be smashed into pieces. Its huge mouth was filled with sharp teeth. When it roared, those teeth dazzled with a cold glow, petrifying many.

Its big mouth was also spitting a cold breath. This cold breath was more frightening than Jiang Yi’s Icebound Thousand Miles. Once enveloped, one would be immediately frozen to death. Its speed was very fast, and it moved like the wind. Its speed was even slightly faster than Jiang Yi’s.

The Ice Beast King’s defenses were strong. While formidable martial artists all around were using explosives, all sorts of special mystical abilities, and every type of dao pattern attacks, they had only managed to make it drop a few of its scales.

Even stranger was that it was not afraid of soul spirit attacks. The members of the Tiger Subdue Sect had released their soul spirit attacks… but to no avail. It felt as if their attacks were targeted at rocks; the Ice Beast King did not have any response at all.

“Roar, roar!”

The Ice Beast King was roaring incessantly, its voice frightening. It could literally scare a timid person to death. It was attacking wantonly, its iron tail thrashing around phantom-like. Almost 10,000 people were encircling it, but whenever its iron tail swirled, at least a hundred would die.

Within five minutes, more than two thousand people had died. There were three-, four-, and five-star experts among the dead, too. However, no one present thought of retreating; the Ice Beast King was already hurt. Having sacrificed so much, they could not give up now.

“All of you, scram! This Ice Beast King is the Dwarf Race’s!”

“This Ice Beast King killed our young clan head. The Dwarf Race has become mortal enemies with it. All of you, step aside. Or else, you will suffer the consequences.”

“That’s right. Only the Dwarf Race can kill this Ice Beast King. We want to avenge our young clan head.”

Shouting and yelling came from the south as the Dwarf Race finally arrived. They were like a swarm of locusts rushing from the south. It seemed that there were seven to eight thousand of them, many of them having a strong presence. A majority of the martial experts from the Dwarf Race must have been activated.

“En?”

The remaining races hurriedly retreated. They had lost so many men. With the Ice Beast King injured, it was a matter of time before it would die. Just like that, the Dwarf Race wanted to come and snatch the victory away?

However, the Demigod of the Dwarf Race had not appeared. It was possible that the Demigod was nearby. Furthermore, with so many martial experts among the Dwarf Race’s ranks, none of the other smaller races dared to say anything. They unwillingly retreated to watch from the sidelines.

They were surprised—however—that even though the Tiger Subdue Sect had also lost many men, they did not protest at all. The members of the Tiger Subdue Sect just watched as the Dwarf Race pressed forward and circled the Ice Beast king. It looked as if the Tiger Subdue Sect was going to let the Dwarf Race have their way.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Dwarf Race surrounded the Ice Beast King and started a bloody battle. Streams of snow dragons wailed as they rushed towards the Ice Beast King, slowing down its movements. Many dao patterns also poured forth. The snow dragons were slowing the Ice Beast King while the dao pattern attacks were hurting the Ice Beast King. If this continued, the Ice Beast King would be killed by the Dwarf Race.

“Young Clan Head Duantian, are you guys really going to watch as the Ice Beast King gets taken by the Dwarf Race?” One young clan head, seeing Cao Duantian and his men retreating, asked perplexedly.

Cao Duantian smiled bitterly and said, “Our Sect Patriarch has gone into seclusion for training. The Clan Head of the Dwarf Race must also be nearby. If we go and contest this, we will be on the losing end.”

Many people heard this and were no longer confused. No wonder Cao Peiwen had not shown himself. No wonder the Tiger Subdue Sect was willing to let go of such a prize so easily.

“Keke!”

Cao Duantian’s face was full of bitterness and anguish. Cao Peiwen was naturally not in seclusion. Cao Peiwen had personally brought this Ice Beast King into the Ice Sea. This Ice Beast King had belonged to him. Once he reached the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm, this beast was to help him break through to the Demigod Realm. Now, he could only give it up to the Dwarf Race.

Swish! Swish!

At this moment, air-piercing sounds came from the northwest. A white line also appeared on the eastern horizon. The white line soon turned into a white cloud. A 10,000-strong army clothed in white battle armor was rushing to this place.

These people all looked strange. There was a horn on each of their heads that looked like battle sabers, shining white as snow and glistening with a cold light. Their eyes were triangular, and they looked exceptionally fearsome.

“The Mantis Blade Sect is here. There’s going to be a good show!”

“Haha. The Mantis Blade Sect is ranked third among the Snow Region Ten Sects. They are known for their battle prowess. Let’s see how arrogant this bunch of dwarfs can be this time!”

“The Mantis Blade Sect rarely came out in such big numbers. They activated so many of their martial experts this time for the Ice Beast King. Since the Tiger Subdue Sect did not send out their army, it seems like the Ice Beast King belongs to the Mantis Blade Sect this time.”

The entire area lit up with boisterous chatter. Many smaller races were excited. The Dwarf Race was so arrogant just now. They couldn’t wait for the Mantis Blade Sect to kill all of them.
