Chapter 540: The Final Battle (Part 6)
Yuan Kongye had been attacking Zhang Yi for a long time without success, and frustration was starting to creep in.
At this moment, she couldn't help but miss Zheng Yixian’s presence. Back then, all she had to do was act as the symbol of the Followers of the Snow God, spending her days in worship.
"Zheng Yixian, if you were still here, you'd definitely know how to deal with this mess, right?"
Then, a sudden flash of insight struck her.
In her impatience, she had allowed herself to be entangled by Zhang Yi. But what would Zheng Yixian do in this situation?
Enlightened, Yuan Kongye abruptly abandoned her attack on Zhang Yi and flew off toward Uncle You and the others.
Force him to protect them!
"You’re finally learning?" Zhang Yi’s eyes glinted, but the corner of his mouth curled into a mocking smirk.
Yuan Kongye soon realized that Uncle You and his group were nowhere to be found.
This was all part of Zhang Yi’s plan.
Uncle You and the others had fled long ago, and since she had been preoccupied fighting Zhang Yi, she hadn't noticed.
Only Xiao Honglian and a few others were still nearby. Seeing Yuan Kongye charging at them, their faces turned pale with fear.
Yuan Kongye shot Zhang Yi a furious glare.
Zhang Yi, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent.
There was no way he would risk his life to save them. If Yuan Kongye wanted to kill them, she was welcome to try.
But if she chose to attack Baili Changqing, Xiao Honglian, and the others, she'd expose her back to Zhang Yi.
And that would be the perfect opportunity for him to strike!
The composure vanished from Yuan Kongye’s face.
Even though she possessed overwhelming strength, she was powerless against his ridiculous level of defense.
Zhang Yi was like a seasoned Black Tortoise—his entire body shielded by an impenetrable shell. No matter how hard she hit, she couldn't break through.
And if she ever showed a weakness, the snake hiding within that shell would strike viciously.
Yuan Kongye forced herself to calm down.
She lacked combat experience, but through this battle, she was learning quickly.
She had figured out the limitations of Zhang Yi’s defenses.
First, his range was restricted.
His spatial movement was limited to a 300-meter radius.
His Dimensional Shield only covered the space immediately around him.
So, to defeat him, she needed a large-scale attack with immense power!
She had tried this before, but without much success.
But then, a new idea struck her.
Her eyes glowed red, her hair lifted in an unseen wind, and waves of fire erupted from her body, transforming into hundreds of blazing dragons that surged toward Zhang Yi.
Heat couldn’t be dodged!
But Zhang Yi was wearing combat gear.
His specially made suit could withstand extreme temperatures of over a thousand degrees for a short time.
He used his Dimensional Shield to block the attack in front of him.
But the next moment, the massive fire dragons veered past him and slammed into the ground!
If the attack wasn’t aimed directly at him, what was her goal?
As the fire dragons crashed into the frozen ground, thick white steam erupted, filling the battlefield.
The ice and snow around them melted into dense water vapor, completely obscuring Zhang Yi’s vision.
"Trying to ambush me?"
Zhang Yi immediately went on high alert. Within moments, he felt like he had been transported into a mist-filled valley—his sight was completely blocked.
The temperature was rising rapidly.
Zhang Yi attempted to leave the area, but the surrounding space had been affected by the extreme heat, and the white fog was everywhere.
He couldn’t even determine his direction.
The sound of rushing water reached Zhang Yi’s ears.
A massive lake had formed beneath him.
Then, a strange sight unfolded before his eyes.
Countless water droplets rose into the air, surrounding him and filling the space around him.
Zhang Yi immediately realized the danger.
Even if he used spatial movement, he wouldn’t be able to escape the range of these floating water droplets.
The droplets multiplied rapidly, forming a vast airborne river.
Up in the sky, Yuan Kongye exhaled a deep breath.
A white mist escaped her lips and instantly transformed into a violent blizzard.
The river of water froze in an instant, solidifying within two seconds!
The sudden drop in temperature caused the mist to condense into icy particles, which rained down.
And as the fog cleared, the battlefield revealed a breathtaking sight.
A colossal cube of ice stood in the center, spanning thousands of meters in length.
Yuan Kongye’s expression showed exhaustion.
Even with her immense power, using an ability on such a massive scale had drained her significantly.
But her lips curled into a triumphant smile.
"No matter how good you are at dodging, you can’t escape an attack this large!"
Just as she finished speaking, a door suddenly appeared atop the massive ice block.
Zhang Yi stepped out of it, exhaling lightly before looking up at her with a grin.
"That was a clever combo move. Too bad it won’t work on me!"
The Dimensional Space wasn’t a livable environment. It was a vast, empty void—devoid of air or any conditions for survival.
But for short periods, entering it wouldn’t kill him.
Which made it the perfect temporary shelter from attacks.
That was how Zhang Yi had avoided Yuan Kongye’s ability.
Yuan Kongye was stunned.
Her expression flickered with a storm of emotions.
She had worked so hard to come up with this tactic, yet it still wasn’t enough to take him down.
Her mind was starting to crack.
"Zhang Yi!! I refuse to believe I can’t kill you!!"
The once serene and lofty leader of the Followers of the Snow God—the devout priestess of ice—now looked like an enraged young woman throwing a tantrum.
She was about to attack again when—
A sudden wave of dizziness hit her.
Frowning, she rubbed her forehead, dismissing the sensation as nothing.
But Zhang Yi noticed the change instantly.
A grin spread across his face as he arrogantly curled his finger, beckoning her forward.
"Come on, if you’ve got the guts, kill me!"
"Oh, and by the way, that wound on Zheng Yixian’s chest? That was me."
At those words, Yuan Kongye’s face twisted with rage.
"Fine! Then I’ll send you to hell to keep him company!"
Zhang Yi smirked, casually munching on some food as he spoke.
Superhuman energy burned through nutrients too fast—he had to keep eating to replenish it.
"Let’s see how this plays out!"
