Chapter 789 Clash of Ice and Fire
Everyone was startled by this scene and quickly backed away.
Zhong Ran stood at a distance, but instead of looking at the black python, she looked thoughtfully at her own fists.
One is ice, the other is fire. If she could directly fuse these two powers together, the resulting fist or palm techniques would be deadly attacks against both cultivators and magical beasts.
After all, the combination of ice and fire is a power that few people can withstand entering their bodies.
Moreover, it also contains the power of the Source Pearl.
If such power could be applied to a Mahayana expert and injected into their body, they would likely suffer serious injuries.
With that in mind, she stepped aside and tried to merge the two powers.
However, ice and fire are inherently incompatible, and it is not easy to fuse them.
"boom!"
Just as she attempted to merge, a powerful force suddenly erupted, causing the surrounding trees to rustle and even the ground to tremble slightly.
Zhong Ran was pushed back several steps by the force of the impact, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes gleamed with excitement.
Clearly, although her first attempt failed, she had already touched the door to a new realm.
She could sense that the two completely different forces of ice and fire were not entirely incompatible; she just hadn't yet found that delicate balance.
Given more time and more opportunities, she will surely be able to master this powerful force and create her own unique martial arts techniques.
She took a deep breath, calmed the surging blood in her body, and began to try again.
Each collision and backlash gave her a deeper understanding of the characteristics of ice and fire.
She began to try adjusting the power output ratio, sometimes letting the ice attribute take the lead, using cold air to envelop the flames and slow down their burst.
At other times, fire takes the lead, using heat to melt ice and frost, seeking the critical point where the two can coexist.
As time went by, she gradually found that delicate balance, as if she had seen a glimmer of light in the endless darkness.
Mu Jinning was initially very worried about her, but seeing that she was engrossed in the feeling and was not seriously injured, she did not disturb her, only glancing at her a few more times during each bombing.
However, the roar gradually subsided, and she was getting closer and closer to finding her true balance.
She was focused on creating a new style of boxing, a style that belonged only to her.
Over there, tormented by the combined forces of ice and fire, the black python struggled less and less until it eventually came to a complete stop.
And more than a day has passed since then.
The surroundings were in complete disarray.
Only after the black python had completely calmed down did Ah Sheng step forward and kick it twice.
Seeing that it was really dead, I was finally relieved.
He walked to the most peculiar part right in the middle of the python's body.
The python's body presented two completely different states. One side was covered with crystal-clear ice crystals, which gleamed with a cold white light in the dim light, as if it had just been taken out of an extremely cold ice cellar.
The other side, however, is a deep blackish-red, with scales that appear to be slightly raised, emitting a mouthwatering aroma of roasted meat, as if it had just been taken off the grill.
These two drastically different states create an eerie yet harmonious contrast in this python.
Ice and fire, raw and cooked, cold and heat, have achieved an incredible balance on this enormous body.
Ah Sheng's gaze lingered on the strange python's body. Curious, he reached out and gently touched the side covered with ice crystals.
A bone-chilling cold instantly shot through his fingertips, making him shiver involuntarily.
He quickly moved his hand to the black and red side, but as soon as he touched it, he was burned by the scalding temperature and pulled it back.
The others also gathered around to look at it, marveling at it.
"Junior Sister is really amazing, otherwise it would have been really difficult for us to kill it."
Zhong Ran's palm wasn't large, but the range it covered was quite long, almost taking up most of the black python's body.
Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to save its life.
Yun Tianyu touched it with his hand and swallowed: "It smells incredibly good."
Ah Sheng swallowed hard, took out a short sword, and carefully sliced it towards Jiao Xiang.
One side of the meat was charred black and inedible.
But near the ice crystals, it emits a strange fragrance.
"This half is the power of ice crystals, such terrifyingly cold energy."
"Junior Sister is the most amazing. She can control both ice and fire at the same time."
The group chatted amongst themselves, and one by one, they took out their daggers and cut off a piece of meat to taste.
The meat created by the collision of the Ice Source Pearl and the Fire Source Pearl has an exceptionally tender texture and emits a unique aroma that makes one's mouth water just by smelling it.
Even people like Mr. Fang and Lou Ying, who had not indulged in culinary pleasures for a long time, could not resist the allure of these exotic fragrances.
The black python was very long and thick.
The collision of the ice and fire forces covered a wide area; otherwise, the black python might have been able to struggle for a little longer.
Everyone tasted a piece of meat and also brought a piece over to Mu Jinning and Zhong Ran.
However, Zhong Ran was sitting there with her eyes closed, so Mu Jinning put the meat away first and gave it to her to eat after she woke up.
Seeing the roasted meat, and the lingering aroma of both fire and ice on it, he couldn't help but smile.
With her ability to combine ice and fire, if she could fuse these two powers into a single punch, few would survive being struck by it, even if the opponent was a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage.
So he quietly stood by her side, waiting for her to come to her senses.
After Ah Sheng and the others finished eating the barbecue, seeing that Zhong Ran had not yet woken up, they dismembered the entire black python.
Most of them were given to Ah Sheng, and each of them carried one less piece with them.
This is because it is the meat of an eighth-tier magical beast, which contains extremely rich spiritual energy, and this is a good thing for them.
The extracted tendons, poison sacs, gallbladders, and other useful internal organs were temporarily kept by Mu Jinning and later handed over to Zhong Ran.
After they finished dissecting it, Zhong Ran opened her eyes at the right time.
"Ranran, how is it?" Mu Jinning handed her a piece of roasted meat, his eyes and brows full of gentle smiles.
Zhong Ran smiled and said, "Let's head to Panlong Mountain first, and I'll continue my comprehension there."
Since I'm going to Panlong Mountain for seclusion anyway, I'll slowly comprehend it once I get there.
Although she has grasped a portion of it, she still needs to further refine it to achieve perfection and a divine power capable of severely injuring a Mahayana expert.
She took the meat and took a bite. A strange aroma filled her mouth, and she quickly realized what it was.
That's the collision of ice and fire that creates such a unique fragrance.
This is indeed a gain. Even if she couldn't create such a fist technique, she could still use this combination of ice and fire to roast meat.
It's worth it just for that unique fragrance.
