Chapter 2868
“Understood, Mr. Chen ……”
The Three Monsters nodded in agreement!
Kai then followed the girl to the location of the ice shard!
“Where do you come from? Why are you concealing your realm strength? What brings you to this frigid, remote area in the far north?”
The girl bombarded Kai with questions as they walked, but he remained silent throughout the journey!
No matter how many inquiries the girl made, Kai simply would not respond!
After all, he didn’t know her well enough to share everything about himself!
Noticing Kai’s silence, the girl fell quiet as well!
Before long, they reached a small hill blanketed in ice and snow.
“It’s just ahead; you can see it from here,” the girl said, pointing forward!
Kai followed the direction of her finger and spotted a patch of snow that looked different from the rest. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a shard glistening white, shrouded in mist.
From this fragment, an abundant flow of spiritual qi was swirling around, creating a vortex of energy.
“So, can’t we just head over there?”
Kai surveyed the area and noticed there were no apparent threats or demonic beasts guarding the shard, so he turned to the girl!
“That’s not possible; ice snakes are coiled up here, and we would definitely be attacked if we approached recklessly,” she replied, shaking her head!
“Then wait here; I’ll go retrieve it!”
Kai instructed the girl to stay put and began to walk toward the ice spirit fragment.
However, just two steps in, the ground trembled violently, and a massive white snake burst forth from beneath the ice, its scales shimmering coldly as it hissed ominously!
Atop the giant snake’s head, two short horns emerged, clearly indicating that this was no ordinary serpent but a formidable scaly beast!
“Hiss hiss ………”
The jiao snake confronted Kai, hissing as if to deter him from approaching the ice spirit fragment!
Kai assessed the situation; this was a fifth-rank jiao snake from the Combined Body realm, comparable in strength to the Ice Bear Monster, so he felt no fear!
“In a moment, I’ll take on this jiao snake; you should grab the Ice Soul Fragment,” he instructed the girl!
“Aren’t you worried I’ll snatch the Ice Soul Fragment and run?”
The girl looked at Kai, surprised by his confidence!
“Not at all. Anyone who dares to deceive me has met the King of Hell; if you try to trick me, you’ll face the same fate,” Kai replied nonchalantly!
Upon hearing this, the girl trembled slightly!
Before she could respond further, Kai sprang into action, brandishing his dragon chopping sword and charging at the jiao snake!
As he approached, the serpent arched its body and opened its gaping maw!
Just as Kai drew near, the jiao snake unleashed a cloud of white mist!
This mist, composed of frigid qi, was so cold it could freeze anything in its path!
The icy mist quickly chilled the air, distorting the surrounding space!
As Kai entered the white mist, he was instantly encased in ice, becoming a frozen statue mid-air!
The girl gasped in shock, unable to comprehend how Kai could be so overpowered by the jiao snake, leaving him frozen in place.
The jiao snake hissed menacingly and lunged toward Kai, intent on swallowing him whole!
The girl wished to save him but felt utterly helpless!
All she could do was watch as the snake neared Kai!
But just as the snake was about to reach him, a bright red glow erupted from Kai’s chest, followed by a fierce flame that rapidly melted the ice!
Kai then swung the Dragon Chopper Sword, slicing through the jiao snake effortlessly, creating a deep gash and spilling its blood onto the ground!
