Chapter 91: Battle - 91
As Anna released her Ice QI, the entire battlefield transformed. The ground froze and snow started to fall from the sky. Giant spikes of ice pointed outwards, blocking the surrounding area from coming in contact with the battle taking place.
Zhou Fan paused in the air for a moment and let her play out her move. Anna stared him dead in the eyes as the snowflakes reached lower and lower. Just as they were 10 feet above where Zhou Fan floated, the snowflakes transformed. Each and every one of the hundred thousand snowflakes turned into icicles that pierced towards Zhou Fan and the area around him.
The power contained in each icicle could kill a level 1 nascent soul realm cultivator, but Zhou fan merely slammed the bottom of his scythe on the ground and created a shockwave that blew away the first group of icicles. The first round contained 10,000 icicles and another wave of the same amount shot at him again.
This time, Zhou Fan raised a barrier with his finger that bounced the icicles back. The barrier lasted against three rounds of icicles before it started to crack, naturally due to the fact that Zhou Fan was holding his strength back immensely.
In the middle of the 5th round of icicles, the barrier shattered into pieces. Instead of forming another barrier or making a shockwave send the icicles back, Zhou Fan continued to supply the broken barrier fragments with Qi and turned them towards Anna before he shot them towards her similar to the way the icicles were shooting at him. Due to that, he had to take the icicles with his body which caused some minor damage to his robe.
Anna was surprised by the sudden and unexpected attack and had to cancel her attack in order to dodge. Even so, she still got hit by a few pieces and even started to bleed from a cut on her arm.
From the moment she released her Ice Qi to the moment she got cut, only a few seconds had passed. Just as Zhou Fan was going to attack during Anna's moment of weakness, she started to attack with another martial art. Zhou Fan moved towards her in an attempt to cancel the martial art, but she finished just as he was about to make contact.
His scythe was inches away from Anna's head, but a strong wind followed by an icy chill blew him backwards a couple meters. When he looked up, he saw a raging blizzard hundreds of meters in size approaching him rapidly. Zhou Fan only had enough time to put up a barrier before it hit him.
The attack was similar to her early icicle attack, but it was more constant and much more powerful. Zhou Fan had to use a large amount of strength to maintain the barrier as he started to make up a move to counter the attack.
In moments, the black barrier started to crack. Zhou Fan's mind moved much faster as he continued to think of a new move that 'Death' could use. Just as the barrier was about to break, he finally formed an idea.
He raised the scythe he had been carrying with his right hand to the right and up a few degrees. He then raised his left hand in a similar way and formed another scythe with Death Qi. Anna saw his unusual movements and prepared for anything unexpected, but wasn't prepared for what Zhou Fan did next.
He held the position of the scythes until the moment the barriers broke down and the wind started to pour in. In that very instant, Zhou Fan slashed out with his scythes in an x-shaped fashion. From the scythes, a deathly red and black wind started forming, then spinning. Right as the blizzard attack was about to come into contact with Zhou Fan, the spinning Qi enlarged and what seemed like a hurricane made of Black and Red Qi started pushing back against the blizzard attack.
From a distance, it looked like two different colored tornadoes were pushing against each other. Anna's eyes widened with shock as she started to pour all her Qi into the blizzard attack, making it stronger than before. However, Zhou Fan's attack wasn't weak enough to be defeated so easily.
What seemed like screams started to sound out from the center of Zhou Fans tornado of death Qi. The cries weren't that of a baby or of a person getting a jumpscare, but sounded more like the scream of a man getting his skin peeled off. The screams were filled with terror, fear, and pain.
The attacks pushed back at each other for around five minutes before they both started to weaken and eventually disperse. As the raging storms calmed down, Anna was seen panting on the ground from exhaustion. As for Zhou Fan, or 'Death', he was standing still without a sign of fatigue.
"Is that all you've got?" He asked with a tone of disappointment. "I expected so much more from you."
As he walked towards her and gathered Death Qi in his hand in order to finish her off, Anna reached behind her back and pulled out a green bottle. She popped the lid off with a finger before raising her head and emptying the contents in her mouth. Zhou Fan said nothing and hopped back a couple of meters. With his sight, he could clearly see that those were grade 5, or soul formation, recovery and stamina pills.
Although a single one wouldn't be able to help her much, a bottle that size would be enough to fully refill her strength. Unfortunately, taking so many had side effects. Therefore, she would only be able to use one bottle before they nearly completely lost their effect on her for a while.
Not to mention the fact that she probably only had one. After all, soul formation pills were quite difficult to make with the Zhou World's current resources.
Anna stood up and briefly stretched before she readied herself. Her next move would likely be her most powerful and her last in this battle.
Chapter 92: Ice Queen - 92
As Zhou Fan and Anna stared at each other, Zhou Fan sensed something. Looking at Anna, he could feel a large amount of her Qi moving. In fact, it seemed that every bit of Qi she had was awaiting an order.
All of a sudden, Anna put the bottoms of her palms together and poured out every bit of her Qi to the ground. The process took ten seconds, but Zhou Fan waited and allowed her to use her final move. As soon as she poured out the last bit of her Qi, leaving only enough to not pass out, she fell to the ground, unable to stand.
Zhou Fan watched on in anticipation, but nothing happened even after he waited an entire minute.
'Nothing?' Zhou Fan asked himself.
He naturally knew it was impossible that Anna would waste all her Qi for nothing, but nothing had happened so far, and he couldn't sense anything with his cultivation suppressed.
He waited another minute, but the battlefield remained completely silent. Even the background sounds of battle started to seemingly fade away.
Eventually, Zhou Fan got tired of waiting. He took a step towards Anna in an attempt to kill her, but as soon as his foot landed on the ground, he sensed something shooting up.
Zhou Fan jumped into the air immediately. A millisecond later, a blue sword pierced halfway through the ground. The sword seemed similar to most swords, but it was somewhat rectangular and flat with a slanted end.
Zhou Fan took a couple of steps back and distanced himself from the sword sticking out of the ground.
He stared at it for a moment, but it didn't move. Just as he was thinking it was a one time attack, the sword continued upwards. As its hilt showed and it was about to fully leave the ground, Zhou Fan caught sight of something else on it.
After a brief observation, Zhou Fan was able to tell it was a hand. The hand was the same icy blue as the sword and seemed somewhat different from a human or a celestial.
The unknown thing continued to break through the ground until Zhou Fan caught full sight of it.
It was a woman who seemed similar to an ice sculpture. She had features similar to a celestial, but blue, and wore a snow white outfit.
In her left hand, she carried the icy blue sword Zhou Fan saw sticking out of the ground. In the other hand, Zhou Fan saw another blue sword. This time, however, the sword was not icy blue, but space blue. Within the blue were dots of white that resembled stars in the night sky.
Clearly, this thing was what Anna created with her full power. It was an interesting technique, but Zhou Fan didn't know how long it would be able to hold him back. Either way, he had full confidence in defeating it.
"This is my final move. I call her ice queen. If you can defeat her, you have won." Anna said from the ground.
Zhou Fan didn't have time to respond as the ice queen shot towards him and slashed out with her ice sword. The slash contained more power than any other slash Zhou Fan had ever seen in the Zhou World.
Just the speed of the slashing sound made a large noise as it reached near Zhou Fans head in milliseconds.
Reacting quickly, Zhou Fan karate chopped the sword after coating his hand with death Qi. The two attacks met in mid air and neither gained the advantage.
As the two attacks pushed at each other, the ice queen's space sword was slashed at Zhou Fan's torso. That attack was what Zhou Fan was waiting for as he blocked the attack with his scythe coated in death Qi.
With both of their hands full, Zhou Fan was about to make a move. All of a sudden, the ice queen opened her mouth and blew towards Zhou Fan's eye.
The blow wasn't a normal one, but a blow equivalent to her previous sword attacks. An immense amount of ice made its way towards Zhou Fan's face and he only had time to cover it with a single layer of Qi before the attack hit.
Zhou Fan flew backwards and did a couple of backflips before he landed on the air. As he stopped moving, his face was revealed. The previous unblemished and evil skull now had a slight crack in it.
The crack was extremely tiny, but Anna couldn't help but smile looking at it.
The crack wouldn't even cause an egg to weaken, but it symbolized the fact that Zhou Fan wasn't invincible, that it was possible to defeat him.
"Is something funny?" Zhou Fan asked as he looked at her. He feigned a bit of anger to enhance the scene.
Anna stopped smiling and looked at him solemnly after hearing his words. The slight crack on his face was already healing up.
Zhou Fan started to take a couple of steps towards Anna as he spoke.
"I may not be invincible, but I'm like a mountain compared to you." He said, finishing his sentence by forming another scythe in his hand.
Before Anna or the ice queen could react, Zhou Fan struck towards anna with another tornado of death Qi.
Just as the ice queen wanted to move in front of Anna and block the attack, Zhou Fan moved forwards and clashed with her.
"Oh no you don't." He said with the only smile his skull face could pull off.
As the tornado made its way towards Anna uncontended, she pulled a formation plate out from her back. Just as she tried to activate it, she realized that she didn't have enough Qi.
She did the most movement her broken body could muster and curled up in order to protect herself. She had already accepted that she would have to take the blow with her bare body.
Just as the attack was about to hit her, a whistling sound that seemed like an object was flying at high speeds sounded out.
