Chapter 610: Chapter 610
The Ice King slowly approached them, and the air in the entire jungle turned icy and bone-chilling in an instant.
What was even more horrifying was that a thin layer of ice on the ground began to spread swiftly as if alive, soon covering the entire jungle.
With a hint of chill in his gaze, the Ice King stared at Lin Chen, "I didn't expect you to become a dog of the military after all."
"What did you say?" Fei Lei's face turned angry, and his body shot towards the Ice King like lightning.
"Don't!" Lin Chen's expression changed dramatically as he saw Fei Lei launching an attack all of a sudden.
However, Lin Chen's warning was too late. With a flick of the Ice King's wrist, ice chains tightly wrapped around Fei Lei.
The Ice King's eyes remained devoid of emotion as he fixed his gaze on Lin Chen, "Kid, I know you haven't shown your true strength in our previous encounters. This time, let us fight a hearty battle."
"What? The Ice King has fought with Lin Chen before?"
"Could it be that the strength Lin Chen is currently showing is still just a disguise?"
Lin Chen gave a wry smile and walked over to Fei Lei, gently patting him on the shoulder.
A tongue of flame spread along the ice chains, and cracks began to form in the chains that had bound Fei Lei.
With a muffled sound, the ice chains on Fei Lei shattered completely.
"This guy actually melted the ice chains on Fei Lei."
Seeing this scene, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Ranked tenth on the Blacklist of the Exotic, the Ice King holds an A-level danger rating, meaning almost certain death for those he freezes.
Yet Lin Chen broke the Ice King's ice chains so effortlessly—what did that imply?
This only indicated that Lin Chen's strength was on par with the Ice King's.
At this moment, everyone looked shocked. They were aware of Lin Chen's great strength but hadn't expected him to be this powerful.
"You all proceed, I'll handle the Ice King," Lin Chen said indifferently.
"Lin Chen, the Ice King is too strong; we should work together to take him down," Xu Jiayi said concernedly.
"There's no need. Your presence here would only distract me. If I don't give it my all, it'll be difficult to defeat this guy," Lin Chen said.
Although Lin Chen's words were somewhat discouraging, they were the truth.
Considering Fei Lei, the strongest combatant among them, was almost killed instantly by the Ice King, the rest were effectively non-contributors.
"We'll wait for you ahead," Xu Jiayi sighed and said solemnly to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen nodded and locked his gaze back onto the Ice King.
As the others walked away, Lin Chen coldly addressed the Ice King, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have been an ordinary person before your body mutated, and only then did you obtain ice attributes."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the Ice King paused for a moment before replying with a faint smile, "Indeed, a few years ago, I was almost killed by those military bastards. It was the Cyan King who saved me, bestowing upon me this formidable power."
"So you're saying you gained this ability through the Life Stone, aren't you?" Lin Chen spoke calmly.
The Ice King snorted coldly, "If you want to know the secrets of the Life Stone, then defeat me."
Flames surged from beneath Lin Chen's feet, and waves of intense heat quickly dispelled the severe cold around him.
"In that case, I shall defeat you and extract the whereabouts of the Life Stone," Lin Chen declared as he flipped his wrist, and the surrounding flames instantly converged in his palm.
As soon as he spoke, the flames in Lin Chen's hand blossomed like a red lotus, smashing fiercely towards the Ice King.
Tongues of flame danced, and the fiery lotus exploded over the Ice King's head with intense fervor.
Xu Jiayi and the others, still moving forward, turned pale as they watched the fiery lotus burst in the sky behind them.
No wonder Lin Chen asked them to leave; with such an intense fiery attack, they would likely have been caught in the crossfire had they stayed.
At this moment, the Ice King was encased in a layer of crystal clear ice.
The Fire Lotus from the sky smashed viciously onto the layer of ice.
Finally, after a brief collision, cracks began to appear on the icy layer covering the Ice King, and these cracks rapidly spread.
At last, the protective ice layer around the Ice King shattered with a thunderous crash.
However, almost in that instant, the Ice King vanished like a whirlwind, disappearing on the spot.
Lin Chen's gaze sharpened, realizing the Ice King not only possessed ice attributes but also the attributes of wind.
At that moment, the Ice King's eyes flashed with a cold light as his body was lifted by a turquoise cyclone.
A tornado suddenly whipped up in the hands of the Ice King, within which were countless ice blades formed from water vapor.
The tornado enveloped Lin Chen almost instantly, and if an ordinary person were caught in the eye of the storm, they would be torn to shreds by the ice blades carried in the wind.
"Flame Scorches the Sky!"
Trapped within the tornado, Lin Chen did not surrender; a fire dragon burst forth from his hands, smashing fiercely against the spinning wind wall.
The flames struck the wind wall, causing the tornado to tremble violently, quickly twisting out of shape.
The Purple Flame Golden Fire in Lin Chen's palm continued to pour forth, and finally, under the onslaught of the flames, the tornado dissipated into numerous whirls in the air.
Lin Chen's body, like a bolt of lightning, shot straight towards the Ice King.
"Hmph, comparing speed with someone who has wind abilities is simply seeking death," the Ice King sneered coldly, his body flashing as he pounced towards Lin Chen.
The two bodies collided, with ice blades and icy knives swirling in the Ice King's palms around Lin Chen, while Lin Chen was no less aggressive, with flames surging in his palms, pushing away the barrage of attacks approaching him.
Suddenly, the Ice King's gaze hardened as he noticed something unusual about his surroundings; dark clouds had gathered overhead.
"This is a thunder attribute attack, how is this possible!"
The Ice King wanted to escape the range of the thunder attack but it was already too late, as bolts of golden lightning descended from the sky, appearing like dazzling golden dragons.
The Ice King looked up at the descending lightning with a solemn expression in his eyes.
With a flick of his wrist, the ice blades originally attacking Lin Chen rapidly condensed in his palm and formed a huge ice shield above his head.
Bolt after bolt of lightning struck the ice shield, which instantly became riddled with countless cracks.
Finally, the ice shield was smashed into pieces, and the Ice King was enveloped by the ball of lightning.
After the lightning faded, the Ice King was charred all over, looking extremely wretched.
"Lightning and fire attributes, I never thought I would lose to you," the Ice King said with a bitter smile on his lips.
Looking at the Ice King standing up from within the net of lightning, a look of surprise appeared in Lin Chen's eyes.
His "Thunderous Onslaught" was extremely lethal, and Lin Chen did not expect the Ice King to still stand undefeated after such a powerful attack, which revealed the tremendous willpower supporting this man.
"Now you can tell me about the Life Stone," Lin Chen said coldly as he looked at the Ice King.
