BXBX NOVEL Chapter 134 134: Courting Death
A powerful gust of cold wind suddenly blew down from the mountains as the Snow Dragon\'s wings spread. The temperature dropped dramatically.
The giant dragon rose in the air. Even with its giant body, each of its movements was so fast and light that in the blink of an eye, he had appeared before Xu Shan.
In the cold mist that shrouded the entire surroundings, Xu Shan could see a vague figure of a giant creature in the sky. With each flap of its wings, terrifying cold winds rushed out, pushing Xu Shan back.
His entire body started freezing, getting covered in a thin layer of ice that became thicker, as if the Dragon was freezing Xu Shan without even doing anything.
Still trying to climb the mountain, Aria kept shivering as the surroundings became cold. A thin layer of ice gathered all over her body, making her shiver.
She forced herself to go against the cold winds, to reach the top of the mountain before the battle was over.
She was also slightly confused. According to her memories, the battle between the Snow Dragon and the Envoys from the Divine Realm was supposed to be much later, in which the Dragon was eventually going to be killed, but not before inflicting heavy damages on the people from the Divine Realm.
It was a battle that lasted for two days from what she remembered. What could\'ve pushed the battle forward, she didn\'t have time to think.
At the foot of the Mountain, Duan Mu gazed toward the sky, feeling the surroundings getting colder. He also wanted to follow Xu Shan to the peak, but he was commanded to stay at the foot of the mountain to make sure no one could come up to disturb.
His eyes showed some concern for Xu Shan.

Xu Shan was covered in a thick layer of Ice, as if he was a sculpture.
High in the sky, the Dragon scoffed in an arrogant voice, "You should\'ve turned back while you still had the opportunity!"
"Is that so? You\'re not as strong as I thought." A seemingly young voice came in response.
The voice was muffled and not loud, but the Snow Dragon was still able to hear due to his sensitive ears. He was surprised to see that Xu Shan was still alive. However, his surprise only increased when he saw cracks develop all around the ice sculpture.
He felt that Xu Shan had used some kind of skill to weaken the ice from inside, and he knew he had to act quickly. The Snow Dragon gathered all his strength and prepared to strike.
He raised his sharp claws, as his giant figure flickered. The next moment, he appeared before Xu Shan, bringing his sharp claws down.
Behind a single swing of his claw, was a power strong enough to break an ordinary mountain, let alone a human.
His claws came down, like a god\'s punishment, intending to destroy all evil from this world.
The Snow Dragon\'s sharp eyes were filled with arrogance and anger. However, he still didn\'t take Xu Shan seriously. In his eyes, he was already a dead man walking, who was to die in a few moments.
Bang~
Powerful wind blasted out in all directions, following a loud impact which made the entire mountain tremble.
However, instead of looking happy, the Snow Dragon appeared to be in disbelief.
His claw was still a few feet above the ground. Moreover, under him there was no ice statue!
All the ice layer had broken, and a human was standing under him. With a single hand, the human managed to stop his claws, which could destroy an entire mountain!
A large crater could be seen on the gigantic ice layer under Xu Shan\'s feet. However, his figure stood tall in the middle of that crater, with only one hand raised in the sky, stopping the claws of the Dragon.
"You\'re not from the Lower Realm, are you?" Xu Shan said. Even though he appeared like an ant before the majestic dragon in size, there was not a single shred of fear on his face. Instead, he looked intrigued.
Back on earth, he used to read so much about the Dragons. However, it was his first time seeing one in reality.
"Become my mount, and I shall let you live..." Xu Shan told the Dragon. However, his words only worked to infuriate the Dragon even more.
Its eyes blazed with fury, and it let out a deafening roar that sent shockwaves through the air. Xu Shan stood his ground, undeterred by the Dragon\'s display of power and dominance.
The temperature turned even lower as the Dragon flew back, preparing to make a large-scale attack. He had enough of going easy on this strange human. However, to his surprise, he wasn\'t able to fly back!
Xu Shan was firmly holding onto his claws, planting his feet firmly on the ground. It was as if the young man became a mountain that was impossible to shake.
Even as the Dragon fiercely used his wings, he couldn\'t move back.
"You\'re courting death!" The Snow Dragon roared, as the sky started turning even darker.
The cold mist had surrounded the entire sky, making it impossible for the sun to be seen.
Xu Shan remained unfazed by the dragon\'s threats and only tightened his grip, calmly responding, "My offer is still valid. I hope you won\'t make me kill you..."
"Enough!" The Dragon\'s eyes shone in a beautiful blue color. Thousands of ice spears appeared all around Xu Shan, made purely from the destructive ice energy of the Snow Dragon.

In another part of the Mountain, Aria finally reached the top of the mountain when she felt the entire mountain tremble. She could still hear the loud battle noises. It was clear to her that the battle between the two sides had started.
Unfortunately, she couldn\'t see anything in the blizzard. She couldn\'t even see just where the Dragon was fighting, or who it was fighting against. She didn\'t care either, since she trusted the history she knew, not realizing that her history was someone else\'s future that was already in pieces.
