231 Rich Get Richer II (1/2)

”Grrr… I will definitely beat your ass later!” Kong growled.

When it arrived at where it thought the center of the storm was, there was no sight of the snow monkey anywhere. It kicked the snow in annoyance.

”Are you playing games with me? Sun! Come out!” It yelled.

There was no response except for the swirling wind and snow. In fact, the storm seemed to increase in intensity. Everything became darker and it became hard to see.

”That's it!” The gorilla finally lost its temper.

A huge surge of spiritual energy gathered in its right fist. The snow that had collected on its body was blasted away completely. It then let out a full-throated roar and punched at the ground.

”Steel Punch!”

Boom!

The entire mountain shook.

The gorilla's entire arm sank into the ground which was completely shattered. A massive crater appeared all around and all the snow that had fallen disintegrated into the air. Sunlight showed back up for a brief moment as the shockwave forcibly parted the clouds.

Despite all the visible damage, this was only a fleeting moment. The clouds and ice-cold snow returned and the sun was blocked out once again.

The fist attack was powerful and would certainly have knocked the snow monkey silly if it landed. But it didn't. The snow monkey was no longer alive so it could not be hurt.

The gorilla did not know this and threw out several more punches to no effect. It was strong but its intelligence low. It did not realize something was seriously wrong until it started to feel chilling cold penetrate its steel fur and enter its body.

The snow monkey's original power would not have been able to do this. It had a natural affinity for snow and ice but its understanding of the Dao was merely from bestial instinct. No, there was another power influencing the snow domain. In fact, there were two additional powers.

The ice wolf was currently joined with Chen Mo and added its blue ice spiritual energy into the mix. But this wasn't all. Chen Wentian had allowed the ice wolf to study Winter's Snow Dance, the ice arts position of Summer and Winter's Eternal Sutra. Although it understood barely anything, its innate talent for ice was fearsome and it made measurable improvements in a short time.

In terms of talent, beasts were undeniable and almost peerless. Humans could not compete against beasts in natural-born talent. Humans made up for it through wisdom and understanding of Dao. They dug deep into the laws of the world that tied everything together sought out the true truths.

The ice wolf was nowhere near that stage. It was a dumb little pup that had merely started the journey. The extreme ice and yin focus of Winter's Snow Dance suited it well and improved its abilities by at least one-fold.

Thus, the snowstorm that pressed down on General Kong was not something that a single Spirit Lord could produce. It was the result of combining three immortal ice powers. The ice intent behind the domain was now at an extremely high level and it was far beyond what the gorilla could handle.
