The flames of the Sky-Flame Nine Palaces rose into the sky and formed a burning mountain spitting out countless fireballs. The Ardent Sunset flaunted how unstoppable its flames were. The Dreadful Curse Hell Hound's body blistered in the scorching heat as the flames continued to burn through its body parts!
The Dreadful Curse Hell Hound cried out in agony. Not only was it struggling to fight back under Mo Fan's fierce attacks, it could not dodge them, as it was bound to the ground by Mu Ningxue's Ice Lock Formation!
After a series of explosions, the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound finally managed to break free from the ice chains. It immediately fled and hid behind its companion.
It had lost its initial imposing bearing. It was intimidated by Mo Fan's flames!
”Humph, I'll break all your fangs next time!” Mo Fan promised the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound.
Little Flame Belle was remarkably stronger after she was brought back to life, almost as strong as a Dreadful Curse Hell Hound on her own. However, when she merged with Mo Fan, it was like two swords combining into one. Their attacks were powerful enough to inflict serious damage on the creature described as the strongest Summoned Beast.
Houndman was completely dumbfounded after witnessing Mo Fan's strength while he was Possessed by Little Flame Belle. He knew better than anyone how tough his Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds were. Most Advanced Spells could not leave a single scratch on the Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds! He never thought the young man's Fire would be so terrifying!
More importantly, Houndman was greatly annoyed by the teamwork between Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue. Considering how agile the Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds were, it was very unlikely Mo Fan could directly land his attacks on them. It turned out that he had underestimated Mu Ningxue's capabilities, too!
”One left!” Mo Fan shifted his attention to the other Dreadful Curse Hell Hound. This creature was a lot quicker than the other one. If it had not been blocked off by Mu Ningxue's ice dune, Mo Fan would not have had such a perfect chance to land his attacks on the first Dreadful Curse Hell Hound. It definitely felt great landing all his punches on the creature!
”Nyx Regime!” Mo Fan was well aware of how agile the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound was. He decisively Summoned the darkness.
Blackness loomed over the area. However, the eyes of the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound were surprisingly sharper in the darkness.
Mo Fan frowned. It seemed like the Nyx Regime was not that effective against the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound, let alone the Giant Shadow Spikes.
He soon gave up the plan of trying to seal the creature's movement with his Shadow Element. However, Mo Fan could still abuse the Nyx Regime to keep the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound busy with his Fleeing Shadow, buying time for Mu Ningxue to prepare her Ice Spells!
The Dreadful Curse Hell Hound moved and attacked swiftly. It was able to change direction almost instantly after missing its attacks. However, Mo Fan continued to abuse his two powerful movement spells. He first used shadow clones to confuse and distract the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound, then managed to trick the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound into wasting its attacks on a shadow puppet.
Mo Fan used Blink to quickly back away from the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound after he successfully infuriated it. Soon enough, Mu Ningxue was done preparing her Ice Spell. The temperature began to drop rapidly as white frost covered the mountain.
The freezing Ice Spread spread rapidly across the place. The ice chased rapidly after the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound, regardless of which direction it was running!
The Dreadful Curse Hell Hound was forced into a corner. It began to unleash its rotting aura recklessly to drive away the ice. However, Mu Ningxue's Ice Element was very powerful, and even the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound could not bear it. Its limbs were soon frozen while ice was creeping up its body from the ground!
The Dreadful Curse Hell Hound was unwilling to admit defeat. It tried its best to break the ice slowly covering its body. Shards of ice scattered in the air.
”Gravity Space!” Mo Fan drew a silver Star Pattern at the perfect time. The rhomboid Space Rhythm bore down on the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound. The creature was struggling even harder to get rid of the ice, as if countless iron balls were tying it down.
The creature was constantly injured by the frost and the gravitational force pressing down on it. Half of its body was eventually covered in a thick layer of ice. The struggling creature eventually grew still!
Houndman realized that the situation was unfavorable to him. He immediately cast the Summoning Spell to forcibly withdraw the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound back into the Summoning Plane.
He would have trouble withdrawing the creature if he was slightly slower. Even so, it was unlikely he could Summon the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound back out to fight again!
”Humph, I wasn't well-prepared today. I'll come again next time! By then, you will hand over the moth woman obediently, or I assure you that your Fanxue Mountain is going to suffer for it!” Houndman harrumphed coldly with a smug look.
