The moment Zhu Xing and the snow giant stepped out of the Dimensional Whirlpool, a Frostyape Corpse could be seen from afar, emerging from underground.
The Frostyape Corpse pounced on the both of them without a moment of hesitation as soon as it saw Zhu Xing and the snow giant.
It did not see Lin Huang and thought that the both of them were the culprits who woke it up from its sleep. Fuelled by anger, it completely ignored the fact that the snow giant was actually a demigod.
Zhu Xing and the snow giant were stunned when they saw that the Frostyape Corpse was pouncing on them. They were actually chasing Lin Huang and did not expect to encounter an imperial-level monster.
The Frostyape Corpse was tremendous as it measured a height of at least 700 meters. It was about 20 times larger than the snow giant whereas Zhu Xing looked precisely like an ant compared to the Frostyape Corpse.
In an instant, it appeared in front of the both of them. It lifted its leg and stomped hard on the both of them.
"Beast, do you want to die?!" Zhu Xing yelled. He used to be a Virtual God and was not looked down upon by imperial-level monsters. However, this monster dared to even step on him, and he could no longer stand it.
The snow giant's eyes flashed with a trace of fury. It was a demigod and was now provoked by the imperial-level monster.
It struck a blow in the air and soon, a huge arm that was made of snow instantly formed in the air. It then collided with the Frostyape Corpse's blue foot.
Bang!
As they collided with each other, a loud explosion was heard. A blast wave was produced in the air, rippling out everywhere.
A strong wind blew ferociously, and of course, the snow giant remained steady. Standing behind him, Zhu Xing was unaffected as well. However, the Frostyape Corpse was blown away, and soon, it collapsed.
Obviously, regardless of its size, the gap in combat strength could hardly be compensated.
"Hmm?" After a few moments, the snow giant frowned.
Zhu Xing frowned as well. "Is it still alive?"
The Frostyape Corpse's body slowly got up off the ground as it shot them a deadly stare.
"I've almost used up all my strength to hit it!" The snow giant did not turn its head back. Instead, it stared at the Frostyape Corpse with fear as it said that to Zhu Xing.
"The Frostyape Corpse is about to gather its Godhead. I guess we won't be able to leave this place if we don't defeat it." As Zhu Xing carefully sized up the Frostyape Corpse, he then realized that it was not an ordinary imperial-level monster.
"If I didn't keep teleporting and draining my strength significantly, I'd have killed it!" The snow giant scoffed.
"It seems like it's flipping out," Zhu Xing said, pointing in the direction where the Frostyape Corpse was. He did not comment on the snow giant's last remark.
As the Frostyape Corpse got up from the ground, its pair of blue eyes instantly turned black. A layer of ice blue crystal surrounded it like a piece of icy blue armor. Icy thorns were formed on its tail as well.
"Troublesome!" The snow giant grumbled, "I hate spirit types and the undying species the most."
"Why didn't you kill it in one hit?" Zhu Xing retreated hundreds of meters away. It seemed like he was not worried that the snow giant might lose.
The Frostyape Corpse advanced as Zhu Xing retreated. It stomped the ground hard and disappeared at a speed that was several times faster. It then appeared in front of the snow giant in an instant.
"That's fast!"
A flicker of fear flashed through the snow giant's eyes.
The Frostyape Corpse clenched its fist and attacked the snow giant without delay.
At that moment, it seemed like the whole region was shrouded in its icy blue fist. It appeared like the hills were collapsing, and the collapsing hills wholly covered the snow giant.
The snow giant remained calm. The Book of Sorcerer Dao was summoned, and it pressed its hand against one of the pages of the runes.
As soon as the white rune lit up in mid-air, the snow giant was wrapped in a layer of crystal-clear, spherical defense shield.
The Frostyape Corpse's fist, which was the size of a mountain, struck the layer of defense shield. Each attack produced waves that looked like water ripples. However, it failed to break through its defense.
In the defense shield, the snow giant remained calm. The effect of the attack outside the defense shield was rendered useless, and the Frostyape Corpse got even more ferocious.
It did not feel tired and continued thumping the defense shield. It seemed like it was not going to stop unless it could break through the shield.
In the beginning, the snow giant remained calm. However, it saw that the Frostyape Corpse's attack had lasted for more than ten minutes and cracks started to appear on the defense shield. Moreover, the frequency of the Frostyape Corpse's attacks did not reduce. Instead, it had increased. The snow giant could no longer remain patient.
Since it had just teleported, only a small portion of energy remained in his body. It could not sustain a long battle. The Frostyape Corpse's abilities were beyond its expectations.
Right when the snow giant was thinking how he should end the battle quickly, a crack came from the defense shield.
The snow giant frowned as it saw that the shield was about to break. It pressed its hand against The Book of Sorcerer Dao again.
Just as the defense shield was about to collapse, Glacial Chains were formed, and the Frostyape Corpse's limbs and neck were locked in it.
"This type of monster was born in the snowy land. It's restricted by the Witchcraft to a certain extent since Witchcraft is of the ice element," Zhu Xing said. The snow giant had activated Witchcraft twice. The defense shield that it first built was made of the ice element, and so were the chains. "I know that you've been using the snow giant's body for a long time, and have gotten used to the ice element Witchcraft. However, if you don't stop using the ice element skill and kill it, you might be the one killed."
As soon as Zhu Xing's voice rang out, the Frostyape Corpse that was growling and struggling to survive finally managed to get rid of the Glacial Chains.
The Glacial Chains that locked its body collapsed and broke into pieces, vanishing as they fell to the ground.
Roar!!!
The Frostyape Corpse slapped its own chest as it managed to break free from the Glacial Chains, letting out a furious growl at the snow giant. The ice crystals that surrounded its body got thicker, and it looked even more violent. Its colossal body grew a few times bigger as well.
