Chapter 190

191. Chapter 191: Ice and Fire Battle the Flame Dragon

"Big guy, time to wake up."

Bai Zhou hovered in mid-air, using his powerful spiritual power to send a terrifying sound wave directly through the ground and into that volcano, exploding right in the ear of the sleeping Earth Flame Dragon.

"Boom—"

The next moment, the earth shook.

The volcano erupted instantly, and waves of scorching magma spewed out from the crater, kicking up hundred-meter-high fire waves.

"Roar!"

A roar filled with anger came from beneath the volcano.

Even from a thousand meters away, Bai Zhou could hear the violent fury contained in that roar...

Hmm, it must be morning grumpiness.

"Pfft—"

Another hundred-meter-high wave of fire erupted.

What was different this time was that within the fire wave, there was a dragon-shaped giant beast covered in dark red scales, over eighteen meters long. It was exactly Bai Zhou's target—the 70,000-year soul beast, the Earth Flame Dragon.

"What terrifying pressure... should we run first..." Ling Luochen felt the terrifying pressure radiating from the opponent and was almost scared to the point of wetting herself.

Although her martial soul had evolved into Ultimate Ice, she was still just a tiny quasi-Soul Emperor. Bullying a ten-thousand-year soul beast was fine, but facing this 'Earth Flame Dragon,' whose strength was said to be comparable to a 90,000-year soul beast, she could at most provide support from the sidelines.

Ling Luochen secretly glanced at Bai Zhou again, and seeing his calm expression, her heart felt slightly more at ease.

Seeing Bai Zhou's confident appearance, he should have a good grasp of the situation; perhaps she wouldn't even need to make a move...

"This terrifying fire attribute, no wonder even ordinary Titled Douluo can't do anything about it..."

Ma Xiaotao's expression was also somewhat grave.

She finally understood why so few people came to deal with this Earth Flame Dragon.

Besides the terrain, it was also because of the opponent's terrifying strength. With such a powerful fire attribute, its attack power was absolutely formidable. Even if one could kill it, the result would be mutual destruction.

Such injuries could not be healed by ordinary healing-type soul masters; most injuries would be lifelong, or even lead to disability and a massive loss of strength!

For such a hard nut to crack, only students from Shrek's Inner Court might team up to give it a try. Of course, coming this deep, it would only be safe if a Super Douluo led the team.

It was just unclear whether Bai Zhou's current strength, combined with her and Ling Luochen, was a match for this Earth Flame Dragon.

Just as Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were pinning their hopes on Bai Zhou, they discovered that Bai Zhou had already retreated behind them at some point...

"Little White, what are you doing???"

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao both looked at Bai Zhou, completely bewildered.

"Cough, cough, although this Earth Flame Dragon is nothing in my eyes, your martial souls have just evolved and you haven't had any real combat experience. This Earth Flame Dragon is very suitable for you."

Bai Zhou gave a dry cough, his figure already retreating thousands of meters, his voice growing more and more distant: "Go for it, I'll be cheering you on."

"No..."

"Little White, you..."

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao were both dumbfounded.

Good grief, Bai Zhou was completely not playing by the rules!

How was this different from what was agreed upon???? The two of them wanted to run, but it was already too late...

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Two terrifying pillars of fire descended from the sky like divine punishment, falling toward the location where Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao were.

"Damn it!!"

"Stinky Little White! I hate you!"

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen cursed in their hearts, but it was too late to go back on it; they were forced to face the enemy. Of course, they didn't think Bai Zhou wanted to harm them, it was just that Bai Zhou hadn't said anything earlier, and now that they were completely unprepared, it made them feel very miserable.

"Ice Prison!"

"Fire Meteor Fist!"

"Boom, boom, boom—"

In an instant, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were locked in battle with the 70,000-year Earth Flame Dragon.

Ling Luochen was responsible for control, and Ma Xiaotao was responsible for attacking. Although they were barely falling behind, they managed to stabilize the situation.

Ice and fire theoretically restrain each other.

But for Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, they had been partners for many years, and their control over soul power and soul skills had long reached an extremely high level.

The cooperation between the two not only prevented their soul skills from conflicting but actually caused their combined combat power to reach more than double the effect!

Besides that, Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao's martial souls had evolved into Ultimate Martial Souls, and their restraint on the Earth Flame Dragon was also very effective.

Although Ling Luochen's level was a bit low, her Ultimate Ice greatly restrained the Earth Flame Dragon's fire attribute. She could cleverly neutralize all kinds of the Earth Flame Dragon's attacks, though it was a bit taxing on her soul power...

As for Ma Xiaotao, she was dealing with it quite easily.

Because Ultimate Fire has a great restraint over non-Ultimate Fire.

Every one of her fire-attribute soul skills could cause massive damage to the Earth Flame Dragon, while the Earth Flame Dragon's various fire-attribute attacks were all suppressed by her, almost unable to cause any substantial damage to Ma Xiaotao.

The great battle continued.

Although the Earth Flame Dragon had thick skin and extremely high attack and defense attributes, under the cooperation of Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao, it was constantly getting injured and losing health.

However, this situation clearly could not last long.

After all, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's soul power levels were ultimately a bit low...

"Good cooperation, but unfortunately..."

Bai Zhou was eating melon seeds in the distance, sighing inwardly.

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao's cooperation could be said to be near perfect; up to now, both had only sustained minor injuries.

However, the Earth Flame Dragon ultimately had the combat power equivalent to an 80,000-year soul beast. It looked disheveled, but its health was actually still very healthy, at least above 80%, so it could only be considered a minor injury.

All three parties had minor injuries, but Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's mana, or rather soul power, was almost bottoming out...

After all, to cause damage to the Earth Flame Dragon, one had to use at least ten-thousand-year soul skills. Ling Luochen only had one, and Ma Xiaotao had two. Although ten-thousand-year soul skills are powerful, their consumption is also terrifyingly high.

The two of them now had less than 20% of their soul power reserves left, and at most, they could hold on for five minutes before their soul power would be completely exhausted.

"I guess I have to make a move after all..."

Bai Zhou tossed away the melon seeds in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

In fact, the moment the Earth Flame Dragon appeared, it was already within his "Bilin Poison Domain."

It was just that his poison was similar to the 'AIDS' of his past life; at first, it was mainly latent and accumulating, without very strong damaging properties. After so long, the poison had caused less than 1% damage to the Earth Flame Dragon's health.

Plus, with Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao attracting the fire.

The Earth Flame Dragon might have known it was poisoned, but it didn't care at all, thinking it was just a small injury.

Several minutes of fighting.

The poison marks on the Earth Flame Dragon's body had already stacked up to tens of thousands of layers. If detonated all at once, theoretically, it could severely injure or even kill the opponent directly.
