Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 184 - 185: Surrounded by a Sea of Flames

Lin Feng had firsthand experience with the ice cold qi within the ice crystal; that bone-chilling cold made life worse than death. Using the cold yin qi inside the ice crystal against the Flame Snake King’s scorching heat was the best strategy.

At this moment, the Flame Snake King saw the ice crystal in Lin Feng’s hand and immediately retreated, as if it had encountered the thing it feared most in life, losing all its previous ferocity.

Lin Feng took a step forward, and the creature took a step back, leaving the Golden Demon Vulture in the air puzzled, "Boss, why is this guy acting like this?"

"It seems to fear the ice crystal in my hand intensely. Now it’s turned into a cyclops, Old Jin, let’s have some fun with it," Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Alright, but boss, be careful, its defense is too strong, and the flames on its body are extremely fierce. How should I assist you?" asked the Golden Demon Vulture.

"Try to find a way to make its mouth open. To kill it, we must put the ice crystal in its mouth; that’s the only way," Lin Feng said solemnly.

The Purple Demon Thunder Fox had also finished off the remaining Flame Snakes by now, but the purple glow on her body was dimmed. She had consumed a great deal of energy and could no longer assist Lin Feng, so she went to Sima Jingyi’s side.

The Golden Demon Vulture flapped its gigantic wings continuously in the air, a barrage of golden arrows attacked the Flame Snake King. Although it couldn’t truly harm it, the pain was enough to bear.

Lin Feng, meanwhile, occasionally launched sneak attacks using his Heart Sword. The Flame Snake King had already been blinded in one eye, and was quite wary of Lin Feng’s Heart Sword. Although the Heart Sword attacks were invisible, every time Lin Feng lifted his arm, the snake would dodge without hesitation, making for an amusing sight.

Both sides were at a stalemate; Lin Feng couldn’t put the ice crystal into the Flame Snake’s mouth, and the Flame Snake couldn’t harm him, making Sima Jingyi and the Purple Demon Thunder Fox from afar very anxious.

At this moment, the flames on the Flame Snake King’s body suddenly reduced by half, and its body began to writhe in apparent agony. The ground’s yellow sand was stirred up, and a sandstorm started immediately.

"What’s this little mud eel up to? Is it preparing to unleash some ultimate move on me?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, observing the Flame Snake King’s actions with increased caution. He quickly placed the ice crystal back into his storage ring, unable to harm it with just one hand executing Heart Sword.

All of a sudden, the Flame Snake King stopped retreating, its massive snake body began to loop into a coil, rising to a height of about three meters, with fire continually spewing from its mouth, appearing somewhat strange.

Lin Feng also paused. This guy was definitely about to attack; he just didn’t know how. Spitting fire was its most formidable tactic, and since its body flames had diminished greatly earlier, it seemed probable that they had all been absorbed within, preparing for a more potent fiery assault.

A raspy voice issued from the Flame Snake King’s mouth, followed by its enormous head starting to sway continuously, and several fireballs approximately one meter in diameter spewed out from its mouth, shooting towards Lin Feng.

The fireballs moved incredibly fast; even before they reached Lin Feng, he already felt the scorching heat. If hit by one of these fireballs, even if not killed, he’d surely be stripped of a layer of skin.

Shift Form and Shadow was quickly executed, leaving behind a blur as Lin Feng darted. Perhaps he underestimated these fireballs from the Flame Snake King, as in a matter of seconds, dozens were spewed out, covering a thirty-meter radius.

No matter which direction Lin Feng tried to evade, he’d face the assault of the fireballs. The only way was to precisely select the direction to escape.

In the air, the Golden Demon Vulture was caught off guard by the sudden development. If the ice crystal were with it, it might have been a golden opportunity; for now, it could only watch as Lin Feng was enveloped by fireballs.

The surrounding air temperature rose significantly, and the Golden Demon Vulture felt its feathers were about to catch fire, hastily flapping its wings to fend off wave after wave of heat.

After the Flame Snake King’s fireballs hit the yellow sand, they didn’t extinguish but instead ignited into raging red flames, transforming the ground which received dozens into a sea of fire, with Lin Feng trapped within.

"Damn it! Are you trying to burn your grandpa to death?" Lin Feng yelled angrily, surprised at the creature’s strategy. This trick surely consumed it a tremendous amount of energy; surviving through it meant its demise was imminent.

Lin Feng stood atop a patch of unburned yellow sand, though surrounded by red flames. The blazing heat waves seemed to nearly ignite him, causing him to wince in pain.

"Ice crystal, I was foolish to have put the ice crystal into the storage ring earlier." With a thought, an ice crystal immediately appeared in his hand.

The ice cold qi from the ice crystal instantly lowered the surrounding temperature, and Lin Feng’s feeling of overwhelming heat significantly reduced, resulting in an indescribable sensation. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"This ice crystal is the savior! Damn, almost got roasted alive. Now let’s see how you enjoy the taste of Ice and Fire Two Realms." Lin Feng said.

A dense fog formed around him, the product of the ice crystal’s cold qi clashing with the surrounding intense heat. With the ice crystal in hand now, Lin Feng no longer feared the fiery flames generated by these fireballs.

Holding the ice crystal, Lin Feng swiftly emerged from the flames, appearing in front of the Flame Snake King as fast as lightning, with the Cyan Frost Sword materializing in his hand concurrently, swiftly striking the coiled Flame Snake King.

Lin Feng executed his strike and movement so quickly that the Flame Snake King couldn’t react in time. Its greatly diminished flames seemed to weaken its defense notably, allowing Lin Feng’s sword to breach its defense, leaving a huge gap in its body.

The only frustrating part was that this gap didn’t bleed but emitted a multitude of fiery red particles, making Lin Feng curious.

After delivering this blow, Lin Feng quickly darted to the side; the Flame Snake’s immense size surely meant it lacked agility. As long as he seized the right moment, he could inflict serious damage.

This strike seemingly caused immense pain to the Flame Snake King. Though just a small gap, it kept rolling on the yellow sand, even more so than when its eye was blinded.

"What’s happening? With such a large body, a small gap should be trivial, so why exhibit such agony?" Lin Feng wondered aloud.

"Hehe, this Flame Snake King will die soon, do you believe it?" the Sword Spirit’s voice chimed in.

"I don’t believe it. How could that be? My strike wasn’t a lethal blow; it’s simply impossible," Lin Feng denied, as neither he nor fellow readers could believe it.

"Just wait and see; you’ll find out shortly. Maybe this guy has one more extraordinary item on its body, you’ve got luck," the Sword Spirit said before vanishing, leaving Lin Feng bewildered by its cryptic words, as the Flame Snake King continued to roll, with hoarse sounds from its mouth...
