I have my own ping program, which is wrote by myself. If I send 3 ICMP packet to host1 and I have my own hook function in host1 to receive incoming ICMP packet. Is it possible that host1 can send out more than 3 ICMP packets to me ?

Basically it's like I made a connection through ICMP protocol and then start to receiving packets continusely from host1

Using standard ICMP protocol, no. Using your onw modified ICMP - yes, depending on how you modify it.
Can't see any practical application for it though.
