Chapter 129: Battle of the Ages(3) (1/2)

*Puchi!*

Cheyenne blocked all the slashes coming from Jake….all except the main one, which she failed to see at all.

The attack left a deep cut in her skin that froze her blood and slowed her healing factor, massively injuring her in the process.

After the attack, Jake appeared ten feet(10ft) away from Cheyenne and watched her reactions diligently.

His attack had been a sort of experiment, and judging by Cheyenne's pain-ridden expression, it worked.

Prior to their battle, Jake had had some spare time to think of his weak points. He realized that he fell short when it came to the manipulation of elements.

The amount of time he has used an element in a fight was non-existent. This might not seem bad at first, but one had to consider that the attack power of every upper cultivation realm shifts away from physical attacks to energy attacks.

As he got stronger, he would meet people that have a strong defense, just like Cheyenne.

So, in his spare time, Jake had started experimenting with his elements; Ice and Lightning.

Due to the winter season, it became easier to wield the [Ice Element], so Jake focused only on that.

He was sure that he was in possession of multiple techniques relating to the element, but he had to start from the basic, using the natural applications of the element.

The first thing he learned was to encase his sword with ice. This would enable his sword to be sharper, and deal additional damage to his opponent.

However, what he liked the most was the influence of his elements on his opponent's wounds. His [Ice Sword] froze his blood through the open injuries!

This could be seen as Cheyenne had to charge her body with [Spirit Essence] before the freezing could spread further.

'Hmmm…..spread further...' Jake hummed as he got an idea.

He dropped one knee on the snow-covered ground and pressed his two palms on it.

Channeling his element, Jake spread a wide sheet of ice, using the snow as a material.

It changed the battle stage for the both of them as now their surrounding had an ice floor and they would need to skate to continue fighting.

However, as Jake had the [Ice Element], he would be better in the modified environment.

After that, he looked at the grey lines that connected him and Cheyenne and fiddled with it, disappearing from his position again.

The moment he got closer to Cheyenne, the lines vibrated, informing him of a possible attack.

As he knew what might happen, Jake ended his run, stopping in his tracks just as he was about to attack.

He already knew that Cheyenne had attained this mystical state, which would mean she could also predict an attack. Therefore, she decided to counter-attack.

Proceeding, Cheyenne formed multiple hand signs as her hands shone with a blue light.

When her energy was at its peak, she silently shouted, ”[Wind Spears]!”

Behind her multiple spear-like constructs appeared, shooting at Jake with great speed the moment she pointed her hand at him.

This was the attack that Jake had been warned about. So, he was prepared to take it.

Watching them all dash at him in his black and white world, Jake observed the different grey lines that connected both of them together.

His mind operated at an insane speed as he tried to comprehend the formation of the attacks.

Before the first [Wind Spear] could attack him, Jake used the pointed part of his sword to pierce the spear.

He didn't need to look up to know that the other [Wind Spear] was about to rain on him.

Hence Jake pierced through their formation and performed a rotating slash that cut apart anything within his vicinity.

After he was done, Jake sensed a presence above him but couldn't react in time.

He felt an invisible weight press on him, shackling his body to the icy ground.

*Dun!*
