Ling Tian's attempt to send a fire spirit to ambush Otahemaru failed, but it achieved a certain purpose. Although it couldn't harm the opponent, Otahemaru continuously released ice rings, exhausting his remaining spiritual power.
"Clang!"
The flying sword floating in mid-air, lacking spiritual support, also fell to the ground. Its heavy blade pierced deeply into the earth, leaving only a section exposed.
The next moment, something that made Ling Tian's jaw drop happened. Otahemaru suddenly turned around. Ling Tian saw the skin and flesh on his back split open, and a hand emerged from the crack!
This hand reached directly for the ground, gripped the hilt of the long sword, and pulled it directly from the earth!
"Holy crap, this thing has three hands!"
Ling Tian's head spun as he watched Otahemaru's three thick arms, each holding a long sword and swinging them incessantly.
Unexpectedly, even more bizarre things happened later. Otahemaru's back was originally facing Ling Tian. At this moment, Ling Tian saw the back of Otahemaru's head suddenly split open, and an eye appeared on his occiput!
This eye was still blood-red, constantly emitting an eerie glow.
Ling Tian's entire being felt unwell. For martial artists, the back was an absolute weakness, also known as the "empty gate." Once an enemy touched your back, it would be very troublesome. On one hand, a person's field of vision was limited, making it difficult to see what an enemy was doing behind them. On the other hand, a person's joint rotation angle was limited, making it difficult to attack behind oneself easily with one's own strength.
However, this monster before him made Ling Tian's jaw drop. The guy had an eye growing on the back of his head! This immediately compensated for the blind spot behind him. Even more outrageously, he had a hand growing on his back, which meant his back was no longer an empty gate!
Otahemaru, wielding three swords, roared and charged at Ling Tian. Ling Tian also swung his weapon, the Kichigai Naginata, and met him head-on.
He slashed down with a single strike, fire-attribute true essence permeating the blade. A red sword light left the blade and directly struck Otahemaru.
Otahemaru swung the long sword in his hand and spun his body, creating a whirlwind on the spot! The storm formed by the sword blades was impenetrable and directly collided with Ling Tian's sword energy. The two forces clashed, emitting a loud bang, and red light scattered everywhere.
Otahemaru's momentum did not decrease. He swung his long sword and directly crushed towards Ling Tian. Ling Tian's body swayed, avoiding the sharp edge, and he seized an opportunity to slash out. However, Ling Tian found that Otahemaru's swordsmanship was also outstanding. Especially with an extra hand and an extra sword, it was not a burden at all. Instead, it often used unbelievable moves that made Ling Tian unable to defend against them!
Thus, the man and the demon god began to fight. As they fought, Ling Tian felt a chill in his heart. This opponent was too powerful! Otahemaru's body seemed to be tireless. Although he had no spiritual power left, his stamina was like an endless spring!
On the other hand, Ling Tian's stamina was limited. Every sword he swung required his full effort, and he also had to find ways to dodge the opponent's frontal attacks. Time and again, Ling Tian was forced into perilous situations. Several times, the tip of the opponent's sword grazed his body. The enormous long sword and the force behind it, if they touched Ling Tian even slightly, could kill him. Ling Tian had no courage to test his body against the sword! He twisted his body with all his might, trying to evade the opponent's attack.
So, Ling Tian quickly created distance and occasionally threw a fire talisman or two! Otahemaru continuously swung the long sword in his hand, hacking at these fireballs. The exploding flames, while extremely lethal to ordinary people, only made the thick-skinned Otahemaru feel a bit uncomfortable.
Thus, the man and the demon god, fighting and fleeing, soon left the forest and entered the volcanic area! Ling Tian originally thought that the scorching high temperature of the volcanic ground would have some effect on Otahemaru, but unexpectedly, Otahemaru was like a fish in water in this environment. This was not surprising, as Otahemaru's home plane had a very harsh natural environment, full of storms, lightning, volcanoes, and lava. Compared to that place, the conditions in the volcanic area were like a calm breeze.
The two pursued each other for more than half an hour, passing through the volcanic area and arriving near the island's forest. Ling Tian's eyes lit up when he saw the terrain. Thus, Ling Tian immediately released the Ice Soul Giant Bear from his spatial storage!
Otahemaru was still furiously swinging the long sword in his hand, pursuing Ling Tian. He was also slowly accumulating spiritual power, preparing to release a spell to directly kill Ling Tian.
Otahemaru never expected that a massive white bear would suddenly appear behind him! After the Ice Soul Giant Bear appeared, it was in sync with Ling Tian's thoughts. The behemoth opened its cavernous maw and spewed a breath of extreme cold towards Otahemaru.
Otahemaru, caught off guard, was directly frozen. However, this thing was indeed incredibly strong and did not instantly turn into an ice sculpture. It only formed a shell of ice on his body. Moreover, a layer of flame also ignited on Otahemaru's body, which prevented him from being frozen solid.
Otahemaru was also very frustrated. Although this thing was a ghost god, it was also very troublesome for absolute zero extreme cold, as it was not ordinary magic but a law of heaven and earth! Especially since in the previous battle, he had managed to absorb some spiritual energy and slowly recover a little spiritual power, but now all this spiritual power was used to resist the invasion of the cold!
Otahemaru turned around with difficulty, intending to attack the Ice Soul Giant Bear behind him. At this moment, the Ice Soul Giant Bear spewed another breath of extreme cold, freezing Otahemaru into an ice sculpture.
Ling Tian finally stopped and looked back. However, after only a dozen seconds, the ice sculpture began to show signs of melting, and Otahemaru, frozen inside, was struggling desperately, almost breaking free from the ice.
Ling Tian quickly gave the Ice Soul Giant Bear a command. The Ice Soul Giant Bear was very obedient and opened its mouth again, spewing another gust of freezing air. Ling Tian did not tell it to stop, and the creature kept spewing. Finally, the ice sculpture turned into a massive block of ice, sealing Otahemaru within.
However, Ling Tian knew very well that a monster like Otahemaru would likely not be killed so easily. Thus, Ling Tian quickly turned and moved to Otahemaru's side. With a flash of thought, several jade talismans appeared in his hand. Immediately, Ling Tian inserted his long sword into the ground, scooped up a piece of soil, and buried one of the jade talismans within the soil!
