Chapter 19 Bet Battle
"You have obtained the map you wanted. What are you going to do with me, your defeated opponent, next?" After finishing his thoughts, Hai Bodong realized that his life and death were now in the hands of others and at their mercy, so he asked Lin Yuan solemnly.

"A defeated general. Ah, it seems that the Ice Emperor is not convinced by the way he was defeated by me!" Lin Yuan's tone was a little more sarcastic.

Hai Bodong snorted secretly and did not reply. Although he blamed himself for being careless, he was still somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. He was taken down by a sneak attack before he could even make a move.

"Well, it's time to let our future allies see our strength. Let's go and have a battle outside the city. I will temporarily remove the seal I just imposed and suppress my fighting spirit to the same level as yours. If you can defeat me, as a respect for the strong, I will return the remaining map and lift the seal. If you lose..." Lin Yuan looked at Hai Bodong.

"If I lose, Haibodong must be convinced and obey your orders in the future." When it comes to head-on combat, Haibodong is very confident and does not think he will lose to a junior, so he readily accepted the challenge and was ready to bet everything he had on this round.

"Then, it's a deal. Let's swear by this." Lin Yuan raised his right hand.

"It's a deal." Hai Bodong clapped his hands in agreement.

Looking at the confident Hai Bodong, Lin Yuan's eyes showed a little more smile.

"He's in a trap."

"The more confident you are in a gamble, the more likely you are to lose more!"

In a desert outside the city, Hai Bodong and Lin Yuan, who exuded the aura of peak Dou Ling, stood opposite each other.

"Boy, let me tell you, head-on combat and sneak attack are two different things." Hai Bodong, feeling the return of his strength, exuded a cold fighting spirit all over his body, and said coldly to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan said nothing more and waved to Hai Bodong.

The two figures disappeared from the spot in an instant, and rushed towards each other like lightning. In the blink of an eye, they collided in the middle. Two powerful energies of ice and fire erupted from the point of collision between the two, filling the surrounding area with yellow sand.

Energy exploded from the center, sending the two flying backwards.

Hai Bodong stopped and immediately began to move at high speed on the battlefield designated by the two. Icy fighting spirit continued to emanate from his body, and the icy air quickly spread. A light mist also lingered in it, slowly obscuring Lin Yuan's sight.

"Interesting, this mist can slow people down, but... this trick doesn't work on me."

Lin Yuan gathered his strength within himself, stretched out his right foot and stomped heavily on the ground. A powerful fire force burst out with Lin Yuan as the center, instantly dispersing the ice fog. Hai Bodong, who was moving in the ice fog, was also hit by the fire force and took a few steps back.

"Ice Emperor, there's no need to take out those playful things. Let me see your true fighting level as a strong man." Lin Yuan looked at Hai Bodong indifferently.

Hai Bodong stopped and said nothing. With icy fighting spirit wrapped around his body, he rushed towards Lin Yuan and started a close combat with Lin Yuan.

As their limbs touched, their fighting spirits collided and the two men fought in a group. Hai Bodong became more and more frightened as the fight went on. The boy in front of him was extremely strong in hand-to-hand combat, with fast speed, great strength, and skilled moves. He had a strong control over his fighting spirit and seemed to be able to see through his attacks, taking all his attacks with ease.

"We can't do this anymore." Thinking of this, Hai Bodong stomped on the ground hard, distanced himself, and clasped his hands together at the same time.

"Mysterious Ice Thorn!"

Dozens of long ice spikes condensed and shot towards Lin Yuan. Seeing this, Lin Yuan used his skillful strength to catch the first ice spike, unloaded the force, covered it with fighting spirit, and then wielded a long sword to loosely pick up the subsequent ice spikes.

Seeing this, Hai Bodong's face darkened, and he waved his hand. Dozens of spiral ice spikes quickly formed in front of him. As he waved his hand, they rushed towards Lin Yuan with a roar. At the same time, he opened and closed his palms, and actually condensed countless tiny ice threads, which wrapped around Lin Yuan.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and he used his Qi to create fire. A large amount of green spiritual flames instantly spread all over his body, and then under Lin Yuan's control, it turned into a rapidly rotating green fire cover. The ice spikes and ice silk were burned to nothingness the moment they touched the fire cover.

After defusing this wave of attacks, Lin Yuan immediately launched a counterattack. The blue fire shield rotated and compressed at high speed under Lin Yuan's control, and finally condensed into a high-speed rotating fire cone at Lin Yuan's fingertips. At the same time, several blue flame whips appeared and attacked Hai Bodong under Lin Yuan's control. "This kid has such strong control that he can condense such strong energy in a small fire cone, and at the same time he can control so many flame whips to block and hinder my movements. This is troublesome." As the battle time became longer and longer, Hai Bodong felt that something was wrong.

The moment the fire cone was condensed, several fire whips appeared and joined the attack, quickly blocking Hai Bodong's movements. Lin Yuan took the opportunity to shoot out the fire cone.

"Dan Fire Skill - Flying Star."

The moment he saw Lin Yuan shoot out the cone of fire, Hai Bodong knew he could no longer dodge it. He quickly formed a seal with his dry hands and shouted, "Ice Mirror!"

As the handprint ended, a transparent ice mirror about half a meter long and wide suddenly condensed in front of him.

At the moment when the high-speed rotating fire cone collided with the transparent ice mirror, the energy compressed to the extreme by the fire cone instantly exploded at a point of the ice mirror, as if to penetrate the ice mirror. Seeing this, Hai Bodong kept using his fighting spirit to reinforce the ice mirror. The hot wind blew Hai Bodong's hair into chaos. The powerful energy impact pushed Hai Bodong, who was holding the mirror, back, and his feet plowed two deep marks in the sand.

"I took it." Before Haibodong could catch his breath, a sound of breaking wind came from behind him. Haibodong turned around quickly, crossed his arms, and blocked the kick. But even so, the powerful force still knocked Haibodong back.

Hai Bodong, who had a lot of experience in combat, flipped several times in the air to dissipate the force and landed smoothly on the ground. He looked at the figure in front of him, which was Lin Yuan who had moved behind Hai Bodong after shooting the fire cone. After moving his arms that had lost some feeling, Hai Bodong looked at Lin Yuan with fear, "This guy has such a strong body and strength."

Looking at Hai Bodong with a smile, Lin Yuan asked: "Ice Emperor, do you still plan to continue?"

Looking at the young man in front of him whose breathing was not disordered and whose aura was still as calm as before the battle, Hai Bodong understood that the man in front of him was an absolute strong man in the same realm, and was powerful in all aspects. The chances of winning today were slim. He made a decision in the blink of an eye and said decisively: "Take this move, Hai Bodong admits defeat."

"Come on, I'll respond to your move." Lin Yuan flipped his hand, and blue fire filled the sky. He accepted Hai Bodong's challenge to win with one move and decided to fight back head-on. This time he intended to defeat Hai Bodong completely.

"Xuanbing spins to kill!"

He quickly formed seals with his hands in front of him, and crescent-shaped ice blades appeared and swirled around him. In the end, Hai Bodong's body was completely covered by them. The ice blades connected with each other, forming a small spiral storm composed entirely of ice blades.

"Go!" A low shout was heard in the storm, and the ice blade storm suddenly rolled towards Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, and the seals of his hands changed. A purple-red blood essence was drawn out from the blood pill. The blood essence, blue flame, and fighting spirit gathered and condensed in front of him, forming a blue-red seal with blood essence as the embryo, blue flame as the mountain, and fighting spirit as the river. Mysterious runes flashed on the seal, and the energy of heaven and earth gathered in it, emitting a destructive force.

"Heavenly Fire Tribulation, Mountain and River Seal."

"Go!" Under Lin Yuan's control, the green and red seals shot towards the spiral storm.

The Mountain and River Seal and the Ice Blade Spiral Storm collided, and energy exploded violently. After a few breaths of stalemate, the Ice Blade Storm was completely defeated. Hai Bodong, who was in the center of the storm, flew backwards as if he had suffered a heavy blow and fell to the ground. His breath was also much weaker. Hai Bodong looked at the energy and mist raging in front of him with a bitter look in his eyes. He was defeated, completely defeated.

Lin Yuan, who was not far away, raised his right hand and slashed it diagonally downwards. A strong wind blew away the mist and energy around his body. Then he walked towards Hai Bodong and asked with a smile, "Ice Emperor, how was the battle?"

Looking at the young man who was walking towards him leisurely, with deep eyes and steady breath, Hai Bodong's voice was desolate and mixed with a hint of admiration: "I lost this battle, and I lost convincingly. Haha, I didn't expect that after living in seclusion here for more than 20 years, I would be completely defeated by a junior in a battle of the same level today. The young are really to be feared."

"From now on, I will be at your disposal." After adjusting his mood, Hai Bodong said in a deep voice. He accepted the agreement based on victory or defeat.

"Then I wish us a happy future cooperation, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong."
