Crimson Dragon Golden Blood is an uncontrollable power, and Ye Tian cannot directly manipulate it. However, this does not mean that Crimson Dragon Golden Blood is always in a dormant state; it is just that others cannot easily perceive it.
The Azure Ice Fox, on the other hand, is different. As a beast, it possesses an extraordinary sense of perception towards its kind, coupled with a considerable level of intelligence. At this moment, it senses an inexplicable feeling of danger pressing upon its heart, which is precisely why it has remained motionless until now.
However, being a beast, the inherent greed and bloodlust of the Azure Ice Fox are difficult to change. It views Ye Tian and Lin the Elder as rare delicacies. Moreover, it seems that these two living beings possess something called Martial Origin Power within them, which could greatly enhance its strength if consumed.
Thus, the Azure Ice Fox finds itself in a dilemma, torn between attacking and retreating, unable to make a choice.
However, a flying stone disrupts the balance between attack and retreat. Since these two insignificant humans have dared to provoke its majesty, it decides to show them what true power looks like.
Within this area of about Square Area, the Azure Ice Fox is undoubtedly the absolute ruler.
“Awwooo!”
The Azure Ice Fox raises its head and lets out a disdainful howl, seemingly issuing a final ultimatum to the humans who have angered it, more like announcing their impending doom.
“Lin the Elder, it's up to you now.” Ye Tian pats the former's shoulder, resolutely choosing to stay out of it for the time being.
Lin the Elder grits his teeth; at this point, he must push through despite his fears.
“Roar!”
The old man, who had previously disguised himself as feeble and frail, suddenly lets out an angry roar. His aura surges dramatically, and his slightly hunched figure seems to stand taller at this moment.
Then, the fingers quickly changed, and within moments, several Seals formed in front of him, resembling tiger heads and as large as wheels.
The Azure Ice Fox's eyes, filled with spiritual light, flickered with an unusual glow that could be interpreted as surprise in human emotions.
It seemed unexpected that this old man posed such a threat, but the faint sense of pressure was emanating from the young man beside him.
The ice-silver fur bristled slightly, and the Azure Ice Fox entered an unprecedented state of alert. It appeared that the Martial Practitioner it encountered today was much stronger than the usual beasts.
"Whooo..."
The Azure Ice Fox emitted a series of low, mournful warning sounds, and as the sound echoed, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop suddenly.
Five Seals were now floating up and down in front of him. Lin the Elder focused his mind, intending to wait for the right moment to seize the Azure Ice Fox's attack opening and strike decisively.
A chill spread outwards, enveloping the area within several feet in a layer of coldness. The grass and trees began to frost over, the soft ground started to harden, and even the corners of both their eyes were coated with a layer of ice shards.
Just as Lin the Elder lamented the heavy chill from the Azure Ice Fox, Ye Tian suddenly spoke up: "Lin the Elder, it has already launched an attack; if you don't act now, it will be too late!"
Upon hearing this, Lin the Elder was startled and checked around him, only to find that the flow of blood in his body had become abnormally sluggish. Although he felt nothing but coldness, he realized that if he waited any longer, his blood would soon freeze solid, and he would unwittingly hand over his life to the fox.
"What a sinister creature!"
Lin the Elder shouted angrily and clapped his palms together, sending a Tiger Head Seal shooting out.
Bang!
The Azure Ice Fox employed its old trick again, instantly forming a wall of ice in front of it, blocking the Seal while simultaneously canceling it out.
"Hey!"
Lin the Elder sneered disdainfully as the second Seal took advantage of the gap and surged forward, breaking through the falling ice shards, aiming directly for the Azure Ice Fox's head.
Swish!
What he thought would be a surprise attack that could yield results turned out to be futile, as the Azure Ice Fox's reaction and speed were astonishingly agile. With a series of Whispers, the Azure Ice Fox evaded the Seal and lunged toward him.
"Hiss..."
Watching the beast with rapidly dilating pupils, Lin the Elder inhaled sharply, unsure if it was from surprise or the biting cold wind. This was a genuine chill, so much so that when he exhaled, it turned into ice beads that fell to the ground.
The speed of the Azure Ice Fox was simply too fast; for Lin the Elder, who lacked Skyward Martial Arts, it felt like a bolt of lightning—impossible to evade.
Instinctively raising his hand to cast a seal, he shot forth a third Tiger Head Seal into the air.
The martial art he used was called Furious Tiger's Roar Seal, belonging to Yellow Rank Nine Martial Arts. Of course, Five Seals were not the limit; someone who could fully master this martial art could condense up to nine Tiger Head Seals, with power approaching Earth Level One.
However, for him, due to old injuries and his natural talent, five Tiger Head Seals were already his limit. This was his signature martial art; after all, being old and frail, he had decided to unleash his trump card right from the start in order to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
In other words, if these five Seals cannot slay or repel the Azure Ice Fox, today will be difficult.
Watching the Tiger Head Seals fail one after another, Lin the Elder was almost trembling with anxiety. After all, each Seal used meant one less available, and he could not afford to waste them carelessly.
The third Seal was launched in a hurry, a result forced out by the sudden aggression of the Azure Ice Fox. Lin the Elder felt a pang of regret, thinking about the resources that were about to be wasted.
Bang!
A howl!
The sound of a dull thud and a cry of pain came simultaneously as a silvery figure was sent flying, having actually struck the Azure Ice Fox!
"This..." Lin the Elder widened his eyes in disbelief. He had focused his energy but failed to hit it; how did he manage to strike the enemy in such a chaotic moment?
"Lin the Elder truly has skill," Ye Tian clapped his hands nearby, seemingly carefree. Although he was also on the battlefield, he had remained an observer. The strange scene just now was clear to him.
The reason the Azure Ice Fox was hit was that Lin the Elder's previous two attacks had been easily deflected. The fox possessed intelligence and thus emotions. In its eyes, Lin the Elder had become less fearsome; its contempt led it to act recklessly. Coupled with Lin the Elder's stroke of luck, this outcome occurred.
"Hehe, I apologize for the laughter," Lin the Elder straightened his posture. Regardless of how it happened, he had repelled the Azure Ice Fox, and it was entirely his achievement.
That was a beast at Earth Level Three, with strength comparable to a Five-Stage Martial Artist. To have repelled such a formidable existence with just three Seals—could it be that he was returning to his peak?
Lin the Elder felt elated, completely unaware that a cold wave surged toward him like an arrow from the ground.
"Watch your step!"
Ye Tian remained in a state of observation. In fact, without his warning, Lin the Elder should have already perished from blood freezing moments ago.
At this moment, the Azure Ice Fox launched another attack. Immersed in its own pride, Lin the Elder was still completely unaware. Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh at how inevitable it was for the latter to be eliminated in the struggle for power.
A lack of danger awareness and a tendency to show off are two traits that can easily ruin a person's existence.
Fortunately, Lin the Elder reacted quickly. After receiving Ye Tian's reminder, he decisively dodged, and a Chill formed into a shard of ice whizzed past him, shattering into countless pieces moments later.
Lin the Elder stared in horror at the various plants and vegetation that had been shattered into countless fragments after being soaked by Chill, a wave of fear surging in his heart.
"Damn it, how could it be so malicious!"
At this point, Lin the Elder still did not realize that this was a life-and-death struggle. Whether the opponent was a beast or a human was irrelevant; what mattered was who could emerge victorious.
The Azure Ice Fox slyly glanced at Ye Tian. It must be said that in some respects, its intelligence surpassed that of Lin the Elder. It had begun to recognize that the true threat was not the former but rather the calm and composed young man.
If these two humans were considered a whole, then Lin the Elder would be the limbs while Ye Tian would be the brain. Only with him issuing commands could the limbs act; otherwise, they were hardly something to fear.
Ye Tian naturally sensed the malicious intent of the Azure Ice Fox. He certainly would not back down, raising his head to meet its gaze. In his dark eyes, a hint of Kanazawa began to surge.
The Azure Ice Fox trembled all over; that faint golden light contained an overwhelming pressure, as if emanating from an ancient being.
However, the true form of the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood was merely a hint, which could not completely intimidate the Azure Ice Fox, a creature of Earth Level Three. It let out a fierce howl and transformed into a streak of lightning, pouncing towards Ye Tian.
Lin the Elder was taken aback, wondering why this beast suddenly changed its target.
Although he felt somewhat detached from the situation, he still relied on Ye Tian to provide benefits for himself, so he couldn't afford to delay. Another Tiger Head Seal shot out.
Of course, he knew his own limitations; this attack was not aimed at the Azure Ice Fox itself but rather at the ground in front of Ye Tian, hoping to block the path of the Azure Ice Fox's attack.
The Seal roared forward with whistling Whispers. Although the Azure Ice Fox had just been struck, it did not take it seriously. This kind of attack had power, but most of it would be negated by its protective Chill. This was also why it could immediately launch an attack after being injured.
A piercing cold wind swept in, and a glint of cold light flickered in the narrow eyes of the Azure Ice Fox. In the blink of an eye, it had already pounced in front of Ye Tian. If it advanced just another inch and exerted a bit of force with its jaws, it could bite off this detestable human's head.
The Seal, Chill, and its fearsome fangs—at that moment, Ye Tian seemed oblivious to them, his mind focused solely on one thing: the True Form of the Crimson Dragon!
In a critical moment, a wave of heat suddenly surged within him, rushing up to his crown and gathering at his bright point, erupting in his eyes.
Brilliant golden light burst forth; although it lacked any lethal power, its overwhelming presence seemed to emanate from the Primeval itself, causing the Square Area to fall into silence in an instant!
The Azure Ice Fox let out a terrified howl, but its body no longer obeyed its commands. The Chill surrounding it seemed to vanish abruptly. Then it felt a sharp pain in its side as an Explosion Sound erupted, and Blood Mist sprayed into the air.
