"Xuanming Ice Snake, Ice Spirit Pearl!"
What he had yearned for, and what he had hoped to avoid, unexpectedly came upon him all at once, a scene that even Ao Yu had not anticipated.
Logically speaking, a treasure like the Ice Spirit Pearl should be guarded by the Xuanming Ice Snake at the place where it emerged, or it should have been directly swallowed and refined. How could it be carrying the pearl away?
He faintly sensed that something was amiss, but the Xuanming Ice Snake did not give him the chance to ponder. Upon seeing Ao Yu and Nian Ciyun, and after sensing a strong Ice Spiritual Power aura emanating from Ao Yu, the Xuanming Ice Snake didn't hesitate to swallow the Ice Spirit Pearl into its belly, then opened its mouth and spewed a blast of icy power at Ao Yu!
"Extreme Ice Palm!"
Ao Yu hurriedly controlled his Magic Artifact, retreating with Nian Ciyun while reaching out his hand to meet the attack.
