Chapter 79: Backstab

"This Winter Sabertooth Tiger has quite a few tricks up its sleeve—it's actually mastered so many abilities. Its overall combat strength is even a bit higher than mine."

While observing, Chen Mo pulled out cola, ice shoots, ice beans, ice bananas, and various other spiritual plants and snacks from the small backpack of his Lion King outfit.

Then he leisurely started eating.

These foods seemed ordinary, but in reality they could all enhance Chen Mo's combat power.

Cola and ice shoots could get him fired up, and ice bananas could boost his ice resistance in a short time. Seeing this scene, the four beasts simultaneously stopped fighting.

Hold on—we're here fighting to the death, and you're not only watching from the sidelines, you're actually eating?

And why is a lion eating grass instead of meat! At this moment, the Lion King exuded a special aura.

If any human saw it, they would definitely say it had a kind of laid-back energy.

"Roar!"

The Winter Sabertooth Tiger and the White Ape naturally did not want to see this situation.

So they simultaneously abandoned the opponents before them and charged toward Chen Mo.

"Roar!" (Brother Lion, I'm coming to help you!)

The Snow Mastiff let out a loud roar and blocked the White Ape.

It planned to pretend to help the Ice Lion King for a bit, and first play a round of "fixed match" with the White Ape.

Let the Ice Lion King and the Winter Sabertooth Tiger fight it out!

Without a doubt, these two extraordinary creatures were the most powerful existences in the Great Snow Mountain.

If they could both suffer heavy losses, its probability of obtaining the divine medicine would naturally be greater! The Ice Fang Mammoth, meanwhile, retreated to the side, preparing to rest for a while.

Looking at the Winter Sabertooth Tiger charging toward him, Chen Mo was not afraid at all.

Under the effect of 【Couch Potato Happy Lion】, his emotions now consisted of nothing but happiness and joy.

Having advanced to Lord, combined with the amplification of various self-discipline titles, Chen Mo felt that his current self was terrifyingly strong! "Roar!"

When the Winter Sabertooth Tiger was still 20 meters away from him, he unleashed an Ice Wind Roar, then three ice-blue runes appeared on his lion paw, and the Profound Ice Claw, radiating dense cold qi, slashed fiercely toward the Winter Sabertooth Tiger's neck!

The sudden lion roar disrupted the Winter Sabertooth Tiger's attack rhythm. It was momentarily dazed by the roar, but at the critical moment it still shifted its body slightly, and Chen Mo's lion claw ultimately landed on its back.

Three deep gashes were torn open on the Winter Sabertooth Tiger's spine. Before the blood could even flow out, it was already frozen by the frosty cold qi.

After this frosty cold qi invaded, it began to spread into the Winter Sabertooth Tiger's flesh and internal organs.

【Profound Ice Claw】

These days of practice had already allowed Chen Mo to preliminarily master this "Art."

The Winter Sabertooth Tiger's strike missed, and it quickly created distance. Runes appeared on its body, and the frosty cold qi was instantly dispelled.

At the same time, its wounds began to heal at a visible rate.

Strangely, after being attacked by the Lion King, this Winter Sabertooth Tiger's eyes actually revealed joy and a trace of regret in an eerie manner.

"Roar!" (So you're not yet a true Lord realm! It seems you also used some treasure before—I overestimated you.) The Winter Sabertooth Tiger let out a sinister laugh and an angry roar.

The combat power Chen Mo had erupted with when killing the Frost Wolf Leader had made it believe all along that this Ice Lion King was an old monster from some other secret realm.

Now it seemed it had guessed wrong.

If it had known this earlier, it should have joined forces with the Snow Mastiff King and the White Ape King to wipe it out!

But it wasn't too late now! "Roar!"

After the Winter Sabertooth Tiger let out a tiger roar, deep blue characters appeared one by one on its limbs and back.

Clearly, it wanted to unleash some powerful Art!

Seeing this, Chen Mo no longer hesitated. While unleashing his Lord's Pressure on the Winter Sabertooth Tiger, he used the ability he had gained upon advancing to Lord—

【Frost Descent】

Sharp ice spikes and ice thorns rapidly condensed one after another, hovering around Chen Mo like so many flying swords waiting to be loosed.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a burst of lion roars.

In an instant, hundreds of ice spikes and ice thorns shot toward the Winter Sabertooth Tiger like streaks of light.

Right as the ice spikes were about to touch the Winter Sabertooth Tiger, its Art was completed.

A surge of ice-blue flame rose up, covering the Winter Sabertooth Tiger's entire body.

To be precise, this suddenly ignited ice flame was not actually flame, but rather a special form of ice-type spiritual power.

The ice flame transformed into a barrier wall in front of the Winter Sabertooth Tiger, actually blocking all the ice spikes! Then the Winter Sabertooth Tiger Leader erupted with successive sonic booms, and its claws, burning with ice-blue flames, swung down without holding back.

Chen Mo, under the enhancement of various buffs, reacted with extreme speed, predicting the attack in advance and dodging.

Smack! At this moment, the branch vine of the Azure Demon Vine, which had been hiding on Chen Mo's body all along, made its move. The vine, originally only a dozen-plus centimeters long, rapidly extended to 7 meters and lashed fiercely across the Winter Sabertooth Tiger's face.

It directly gave the Winter Sabertooth Tiger a big slap.

The damage was minimal, but the humiliation was extreme! At the same time, not far away, ice-type spiritual power surged around the White Ape's body, and spirit runes slowly took shape one by one!

An Art! This White Ape had also mastered an Art, and judging from the number of runes, it was a high-level Art! The effect of this Art should be a comprehensive enhancement of physical attributes. Once the White Ape finished casting it, it directly abandoned the Snow Mastiff and charged toward Chen Mo at supersonic speed.

Frosty winds swirled around it, and every punch was accompanied by powerful frosty cold force.

Almost every single attack was a release of an "Art"!

The bonuses from titles like 【Glutton Lion】 and 【Rampant Lion】 had brought Chen Mo's physical attributes to a terrifying level, and combined with the effect of 【Couch Potato Happy Lion】, his reactions at this moment were extremely sharp.

Chen Mo continuously dodged every punch the White Ape threw and used 【Profound Ice Claw】 to counterattack.

But as the Winter Sabertooth Tiger joined the battle, tiger claws burning with ice flame kept striking, and Chen Mo gained several more wounds on his body.

Facing a pincer attack from two Lord-realm existences, Chen Mo felt it somewhat difficult to cope.

Fortunately, with the enhancement of 【Couch Potato Happy Lion】, his skin was thick and his flesh was tough.

Roar! Chen Mo unleashed bursts of Ice Wind Roar. Although they couldn't deal substantial damage to these two extraordinary creatures, they could slow their attack rhythm.

"Awooo!" (Don't panic, Brother Lion, I'm coming!) At this moment, the Snow Mastiff not far away let out a roar, runes flashing on its paws as it rapidly charged toward the three beasts locked in melee.

When it was still 10 meters away from the White Ape, the Snow Mastiff leapt high, ice spiritual power surging on its claws, and attacked the White Ape!

「Aooo! 」(White Ape, receive death!) However, in midair, the Snow Mastiff Leader's claw shifted slightly! This strike seemed aimed at the White Ape, but the true target was the Ice Lion King in front of the White Ape! At the most critical moment, the Snow Mastiff chose a backstab.

Or rather, this was originally part of their plan.

First take care of the Lion King, then later the three beasts will divide the Second Tier Divine Pill! (End of chapter)
