The Martial God Spear appeared in Ma Hongjun's hand, and seven spirit rings instantly unfolded.
Red, purple, purple, black, black, red, red!
The golden spear activated, dark golden patterns lit up, and Ma Hongjun instantly sprang up, thrusting the spear upwards.
"Whoosh!"
The Martial God Spear pierced through the
Titan Snow Demon King's palm. Ma Hongjun kicked backwards in mid-air, stomping on the Titan Snow Demon King's palm, pulling out the Martial God Spear, and returning to his original position.
Bright red blood flowed from the center of the Titan Snow Demon King's palm, staining its white fur.
This spear thrust completely snapped the Titan Snow Demon King back to reality from the joy of seeing the Snow Emperor.
It looked at Ma Hongjun in terror; this unassuming human was so terrifying.
After only two exchanges, its powerful defense was easily broken.
The Titan Snow Demon King's expression became serious, but this initial setback had already made it extremely ashamed and angry, especially in front of the Snow Emperor.
It had subconsciously overlooked why the Ice Emperor, who was even stronger than it, was being held hostage by a human.
That's just how big creatures are; they can't control their emotions and are easily enraged.
The Titan Snow Demon King had always looked down on humans and didn't think they were that strong.
Moreover, this was in front of the Snow Emperor, fighting a human.
For the Snow Emperor, it wasn't afraid of death.
Now, with the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North on the Soul Beast side present, the Titan Snow Demon King was fearless. Even if it couldn't defeat this human, the Snow Emperor would definitely help it. At
this moment, it was fighting for the Soul Beasts, fighting for the Far North; it was the Snow Emperor's vanguard general.
Small injuries were nothing.
The Titan Snow Demon King clenched its fists, like an enraged gorilla, and brought them down like giant iron hammers.
Its fists were covered in a layer of extremely cold icy light.
Ma Hongjun didn't choose to block them head-on, not because he couldn't withstand the blows, but because the force of those blows was too great; even if he could, he would be driven into the snow. He
might not be injured, but it would affect his handsome image; being knocked into the ground would be quite a sight.
With a deafening boom, a wave of heat erupted, instantly tearing Ma Hongjun's clothes to shreds and turning to ash in the flames.
His strong abdominal muscles were revealed, his well-proportioned physique radiating power.
His long, wine-red hair flew wildly, and a pair of dazzling wings unfurled behind him.
Fiery Wind Wings!
These vibrant phoenix wings propelled Ma Hongjun into the air.
He so gracefully and naturally dodged the Titan Snow Demon King's devastating blow.
Ice Empress had already hopped away from the eye of the storm, running to Snow Empress's side.
Snowflakes formed a circular protective shield around Snow Empress, enveloping her, Ice Empress, and Ice Bear King.
They watched silently as the Titan Snow Demon King and Ma Hongjun battled, offering neither intervention nor support.
Ice Empress, however, began to converse with Snow Empress.
She didn't care about the fight between the Titan Snow Demon King and Ma Hongjun; all she cared about was Snow Empress.
The Snow Empress was, of course, paying close attention to the battlefield. In her territory, she couldn't allow a human to kill the Titan Snow Demon King. Even if the Titan Snow Demon King had angered her, she would only have given him a beating.
She was the ruler of the far north, and the Titan Snow Demon King was also her subject.
She was also observing how this human, with seven spirit rings, had defeated the Ice Empress.
The Ice Bear King watched most intently. Its world revolved around the Snow Empress; it didn't harbor the same hatred for humans as other spirit beasts.
At this moment, watching the battle, it simply treated it as entertainment.
Seeing the Titan Snow Demon King suffer a humiliating defeat, it even felt a slight sense of smug satisfaction.
"Bang!"
The Titan Snow Demon King's fists slammed down, instantly creating a large crater in the ground, scattering ice and snow everywhere!
Ma Hongjun flew into the air, observing the current situation.
The Ice and Snow Empresses had clearly become spectators, watching him and the Titan Snow Demon King perform.
This battle was a test for Ma Hongjun; the Snow Empress wanted to understand him through the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Empress.
The Ice Emperor was already speaking to the Snow Emperor, and the Titan Snow Demon King was the test of his strength.
This battle was inevitable!
Ma Hongjun activated his Fire Feather Wind Wings, hovering around the Titan Snow Demon King.
The Titan Snow Demon King was enormous; it was probably the largest soul beast on land in the Douluo Continent.
Ma Hongjun's small body wasn't even as big as its head.
It looked like the difference between a human and a fly.
However, strength and size weren't directly proportional.
"Flame Fist!"
Ma Hongjun unleashed his left fist, a fist formed of flame aimed at the Titan Snow Demon King's nose.
Its size was too great to dodge Ma Hongjun's attack. The fiery fist exploded, and black smoke billowed from the Titan Snow Demon King's nostrils.
"Awooo..."
Seeing the Titan Snow Demon King's pathetic state, the Ice Bear King subconsciously laughed.
However, remembering he was on the side of the soul beasts, he suddenly stopped.
The Titan Snow Demon King was furious, attacking with both fists, chasing after Ma Hongjun.
But Ma Hongjun, with his Fire Feather Wind Wings and small size, was extremely agile in the air. Even though the Titan Snow Demon King's fists were large, they couldn't hit him.
It was like a person trying to swat a mosquito with their fist—extremely difficult.
The Titan Snow Demon King's greatest strength lay in its body; melee combat was its greatest advantage.
The agile Ma Hongjun limited this advantage.
However, as the Third Heavenly King of the Far North, its ice-attribute abilities were not weak either.
"Titan's Fist, Freeze!"
Suddenly, its fists converged from both sides, the powerful icy force surrounding Ma Hongjun forcing him into the middle, like two ice walls blocking him from the left and right, attempting to freeze him solid.
Ice had already condensed in the air between its fists, layer upon layer enveloping Ma Hongjun.
Soon, a spherical ice domain enveloped him.
The Titan Snow Demon King's fists continuously released white icy power; Ma Hongjun felt the ice sealing off his surroundings, even his spirit rings were frozen, their light ceasing to flow.
At this moment, a huge sphere of ice crystals formed between the Titan Snow Demon King's hands.
Ma Hongjun was at the very center, like a piece of amber.
The Titan Snow Demon King let out a cackling laugh; those struck by its freezing fists would have their flesh and blood frozen to death.
But this was not enough to vent its anger. The Titan Snow Demon King leaped up, its feet leaving the ground, its massive foot about to stomp on the white sphere of ice that had frozen Ma Hongjun.
Titan Snow Demon King intended to crush him under his feet!
Ice Bear King sighed; this human was far too weak, easily controlled by Titan Snow Demon King. It felt somewhat disappointed.
However, just as Titan Snow Demon King's foot stomped down, the ice crystal ball flew away.
This caused Titan Snow Demon King to miss his footing, and after landing, the ice crystal ball flew back, stopping right in front of him, inches away.
Titan Snow Demon King stared at the ice crystal ball in surprise, while Ma Hongjun inside the ice crystal ball was not frozen. A deep blue ice crystal dragon coiled around his body. Ma Hongjun moved freely within the ice crystal ball, extending a finger and beckoning it towards Titan Snow Demon King's large eyes.
Titan Snow Demon King was now both angry and somewhat afraid. It threw a punch.
The ice crystal ball easily dodged.
Originally, it was the ice-sealing crystal ball it had created, but now Ma Hongjun had easily controlled it.
This proves that Ma Hongjun's ice attribute ability is far superior to that of the Titan Snow Demon King.
Watching the ice crystal sphere nimbly swaying in the air, the Snow Empress's beautiful sky-blue pupils finally showed a hint of tremor.
However, her gaze was fixed on the ice dragon.
From the ice crystal dragon, the Snow Empress sensed an incomparably pure power of ice and snow.
The Ice Empress had been watching calmly; she knew Ma Hongjun's strength. Ma Hongjun had many ways to deal with the Titan Snow Demon King.
Any one of his three martial souls could defeat the Titan Snow Demon King individually.
But Ma Hongjun's current actions seemed more like toying with the Titan Snow Demon King.
However, Ma Hongjun deliberately displayed the Ice Dragon martial soul, using its power to fight the Titan Snow Demon King, also to show her and the Snow Empress.
The Ice Empress had experienced the Ice Dragon martial soul before, and it was far less powerful than it was now.
After absorbing a large amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, the Ice Dragon seemed to have fully awakened, like an ice god.
Within the Ice Crystal Dragon Soul, Tianmeng, Xiao Zi, and Xiao Xuelian were very active, all curiously watching the Snow Empress.
To the soul beasts of the entire far north, the Snow Empress was a god-like figure ,
much like Di Tian's status in the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, the Snow Empress was more profound; she was the undisputed ruler of the soul beasts here, not only in strength but also in appearance. These were all ice-attribute soul beasts, and they naturally felt a closeness to her.
Under Ma Hongjun's control, the ice crystal ball spun continuously, teasing the Titan Snow Demon King like a dog on a leash. The Titan Snow Demon King thrashed about, clawing wildly, but couldn't touch the ice crystal ball. Its
massive size limited its power; its ice and snow energy was completely crushed by the opponent, leaving it helpless like a child weighing tens of thousands of pounds.
Ma Hongjun jumped around on its shoulder, and the Titan Snow Demon King slapped wildly, always hitting itself instead.
"Roar!"
The frustrated Titan Snow Demon King roared, crouching down and opening its mouth, trying to swallow Ma Hongjun whole.
But it was still no use.
Ma Hongjun moved nimbly through the air like a dragon.
The Titan Snow Demon King went berserk, unleashing its enormous fist with deafening roars.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, its fist struck the mountainside of the ice cave, instantly creating a fist-sized hole!
"Holy crap, my Bing'er is still inside!"
Ma Hongjun abruptly broke free from the ice crystal sphere, and the ice dragon coiled around him let out a roar.
Man and dragon merged, fist and claw striking each other, the dragon claw directly blocking the Titan Snow Demon King's fist and knocking it back.
Ma Hongjun hadn't expected the Titan Snow Demon King to be so impatient, going berserk and losing control after only a few minutes of fighting.
This big guy was truly the type to get hot-headed.
"Quiet down, you're too tall, sit down,"
Ma Hongjun said coldly.
Then he flew to the Titan Snow Demon King's head, his dragon claw stepping down, appearing as if a miniature dragon was hopping around on the Titan Snow Demon King's head and shoulders.
But the Titan Snow Demon King's body seemed to bear the weight of a mountain, its body sinking downwards, its entire body crouching down.
Ma Hongjun simultaneously released his mental detection; thankfully, the Titan Snow Demon King's punch had only hit the outer part of the mountain, and Shui Bing'er and the others inside were unaffected.
However, the ice scorpions and ice jade scorpions in the outer ice caves were also affected, crawling out of their caves.
The Titan Snow Demon King, beaten into a squatting position, was now above it, its power suppressing the Titan Snow Demon King, preventing it from making any movement.
The dragon claw on its head was its deadly scythe.
The Snow Emperor finally spoke,
"Alright, human, don't hurt it. We can talk!"
