His weapon was of a bigger concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Shang was preparing to attack the serpent again, the storm of ice and water in the distance suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the storm of ice and water had been a sphere around the serpent, ensuring that Shang would always have to pass through it by creating or closing distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the sphere was suddenly splitting apart and transforming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm gathered in many different locations, increasing the latent power in these locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the transformation was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang took a deep breath when he saw the serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the serpent gracefully flew in the air, four terrifying icy claws sprouting out of its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spherical storm of ice and water had thinned and transformed into one long line, which danced around the serpent's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like the storm had become a graceful and long ribbon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the storm had intensified, and Shang knew that getting hit by it this time would be far more devastating than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sure enough, this is an extremely powerful beast for its level.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent's icy claws cracked and moved as they prepared for an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, the serpent suddenly shot forward, right at Shang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, it had completely avoided Shang, but after realizing that it might lose in the long run if it kept creating distance, it decided to change its approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That move where it had thrown off its icy armor had cost it way too much of its Mana. At most, it could do that one more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why it suddenly decided to shoot at Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Serpents usually avoid close combat, but not this one, apparently.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang used Comet again and also shot at the serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, one of the serpent's claws shot at Shang in a similar motion to earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang realized that the serpent was using the same attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang used Shock to avoid the attack.

It was almost like Shang had punched a window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of Shang's attack blasted the icicles in front of him into the distance, but the icicles around him shot down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, they suddenly angled to the side, shooting right at Shang from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRRRRR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sphere of fire returned again, destroying the icicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's body had become gaunt and withered again, but it recovered in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I only have 10% life energy remaining.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang immediately threw himself at the serpent again after solidifying his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the ribbon of ice returned, and Shang had to throw himself to the side. He couldn't allow himself to touch that ribbon, or his body would freeze over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, it had a lot of inertia due to its sheer power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, Shang's charge was interrupted, giving the serpent another opportunity to attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Serpent regrew its destroyed claw and continued its attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Shang saw one of the claws move forward from a distance, and he knew that the serpent would use its terrifying attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's grip on his sword tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The finger on the claw shot at Shang at insane speeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's Addum was in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang moved the handle forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two attacks hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw turned to water, but the water didn't shoot past Shang's sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, light exploded as Shang moved his sword forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water shot at the serpent, but not at a critical location of its body, but at one of the claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the ice had been melted into water, it no longer had any offensive properties, and even if it hit the serpent, it wouldn't do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, something appeared between the water and the serpent's claw it was shooting toward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the ribbon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water shot with rapid speeds through the ribbon, and when it came out of the other side, it had already transformed into huge icicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, it hit the claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire claw exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sadly, the ribbon just barely made it in time.
