บท 90: Yang Zhai Vs Ci An(Part2)
The icicle that Yang Zhai created was one foot in size. He didn't make it bigger because he wanted to preserve his Essence water. After all, there was a chance that Ci An might have already changed her position. And then, a single icicle would not be able to defeat Ci An, she might counterattack, and if that happens, he will be needing Essence water to activate his methods.
"Ahhhh,"
A scream came from the direction Yang Zhai had shot his icicle in.
When Yang Zhai heard this, he didn't delay any further and shot another icicle in the direction of the scream.
On the other hand,
Ci An pulled out the icicle from her left arm. This icicle was a foot long and had pierced her arm, it came out from the other side of her arm. When she pulled out the icicle, it was stained with blood. She threw it to the side.
"How did he discover my locat…, ahhhh," she was about to say something when another icicle pierced her left arm again. She could not endure the pain and screamed again.
"What is happening inside? I can't see anything, and why is Ci An screaming?"
"Do you think she is being beaten by Yang Zhai?"
"I think so. After all, only she is screaming."
"This Yang Zhai is really cunning, he released this black fog in the air and enveloped the whole arena with it so that Ci An would not be able to see anything."
"I think so as well. I think he doesn't want us to see him beating Ci An, after all, his reputation might be ruined for beating a girl so ruthlessly. Her screams clearly tell us how she is being tortured inside."
The people who came to watch the competition were discussing the situation with each other. All of them had their own ideas and opinions. And as they could not see what was happening inside the arena, they thought that Yang Zhai was torturing Ci An.
"Brother Wang, what is happening inside?" Elder Ren came to elder Wang's side and asked.
"Why should I tell you?" Elder Wang said casually.
"Come on, brother Wang, you know as well as I do, I don't have any method to see in the darkness, especially in the darkness caused by a technique. But you have a Ka that can help you to see far and also in the darkness, so just tell me." Elder Ren said with a smile.
"But, you have a Ka that is able to help you sense things. Anyway, forget it. I will tell you. Yang Zhai just shot Ci An in her left arm with two icicles. After that, he hurriedly ran in the direction of Ci An to capture her, but she had already changed her direction, that is what happened." Elder Wang explained.
"Oh, he can see in this darkness?" Elder Ren asked curiously.
"No, he cannot see anything as well. It's just that when Ci An shot fire in five directions, one of them struck Yang Zhai, giving him the direction of Ci An. And you also know how clever Yang Zhai is, he also noticed this and without any delay, he shot two icicles in the same direction from where the fire struck him. But he didn't shoot another icicle, I think his Essence water is about to end. After all, a technique this powerful, that could create complete darkness, must have consumed a lot of his Essence Water." Elder Wang explained.
"Yeah, you are right, he is quite clever. And a cunning person like this would surely save some Essence water for emergency use and would not attack rashly and waste his Essence water. This is the difference between talent. If he had a little more Essence water, he would not have had to hold back and could have won already, sigh." Elder Ren sighed, he really pitied Yang Zhai. According to him, Yang Zhai was a natural-born talent, if he only had a little more Essence water, he would have been someone great in the future.
Inside The Dark Day,
Yang Zhai walked forward in the direction of Ci An. After he felt that he was at the end of the arena, he stopped. He moved his hands here and there to look for Ci An and found nothing.
He did not stay at the corner for long and walked in the middle of the stage. It was dangerous to stay in the corner of the arena.
After three minutes passed since the start of the fight, the black fog began to dissipate slowly. It was one of the greatest disadvantages of Rank 1 techniques; they could not last for long. If a person wanted to increase the duration, then they needed to put more Essence water in the technique while activating it. After activation, the duration of the technique could not be changed. The more a person tries to increase the duration and the power of a technique, the more toll it leaves on a person's body.
Huh, except if a technique was of next rank. For example, a rank 2 technique could last longer than a rank 1 technique. If a person wanted to increase the duration of a rank 1 technique to that of rank 2, then the toll on a person's body will also increase along with the power and the duration, and the Essence water consumption would also be greater.
The black fog dissipated completely after a while and the arena was revealed completely.
Yang Zhai was standing in the middle of the arena. His waist had a burn mark on it and his clothes from the waist were missing. His forehead had blackness on it. His right hand was also a little pale and black lines could be seen on it. It seemed that the use of The Dark Day technique left a deep toll and adverse effects on his body.
Of course, it would also decrease his strength as well.
On the other hand, Ci An was standing eight meters away from Yang Zhai. She was panting, and her left arm was completely red from the shoulder to her hand. It was because one of the two icicles had pierced her shoulder and the other had pierced her arm a little below the shoulder. She had already applied medicine to the wound whilst the black fog was still around; thus, her bleeding had already stopped.
"You will pay for it." She muttered to herself and ran toward Yang Zhai.
Yang Zhai could not see Ci An because she was standing eight meters behind him and his sight could only see a little bit within the range of five meters.¹ And when she ran toward Yang Zhai, he did not notice anything. Moreover, her speed was also fast because of the Ka.
Yang Zhai's instincts gave him a dangerous single and he looked behind; however, it was too late.
Ci An's right hand touched Yang Zhai's chest. Yang Zhai knew what she was going to do, so he hurriedly tried to jump backward. He did not have the time to punch her, and it was feasible for him to get away from her right away. His right foot had just left the ground and his chest had only gotten a little away from Ci An's hand when an explosion happened between his chest and Ci An's right hand.
He was sent flying backward by the force of the explosion. When the explosion happened, there was only a foot[12 inches (30.48 cm)] of distance between his chest and Ci An's hand, and this distance had only appeared because of his quick reaction. Yang Zhai was sent flying a few meters, after which he fell to the wooden ground.
A burned handprint appeared on Yang Zhai's chest, the size of Ci An's hand size. His robe around the chest area had completely disappeared. He fell on his back on the arena's wooden ground, and his left hand came to his chest. He lay there as if his body had lost its strength. Furthermore, he managed to save himself from even more severe damage by getting a little away from Ci An before her explosion technique activated.
If Yang Zhai was not wrong, Ci An needed to touch a person first for the maximum effects of her explosion technique to take place; otherwise, she would not have gotten close to Hong Mi to touch him with her hand in her previous fight with him and now, she tried to do the same with Yang Zhai.
"Cough…cough, cough," he coughed a few times. Blood also came out with his coughs. It seemed that he was heavily injured.
"How sad, cough… my Essence water, cough….also ended; otherwise… Ci An, I would have hit you with, cough… a few more icicles when I hit you with the two before." Yang Zhai said slowly. He coughed in the middle of his speech a few times.
"You scound*el, you will pay for everything you did to me until now." Ci An shouted at Yang Zhai angrily and thought: is he really out of the Essence water? He did stop after using icicles to attack me two times. Maybe, his black fog technique took a lot of his Essence water. Whatever, let me confirm it myself.
Then, she summoned a fire and shot it at Yang Zhai.
The fire struck Yang Zhai and before it could spread, he began to roll on the ground to put it out. As this fire was created from a Rank 1 technique, it was not much powerful and different from a normal fire. And Yang Zhai could tell that this fire was of the lowest quality among the rank 1 techniques.
*****/*****
1-He can only see within the range of five meters, but not clearly. His seeing ability gets weaker with the increasing distance. He can see things a little better, which are one meter away from him, and after a range of five meters, he is completely unable to see anything.
