Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1811 A Few Attacks Remaining

Within just a month, everyone and everything that he held dear to his heart was dead and everyone smiled for it.

There was no meaning to their deaths, no reason for them to lose their lives. And they had, and it had all happened because of the man in front of him.

Long had he awaited for this moment. Long had he prepared in silence, waiting for the day he got to kill this man.

The day was finally here, and Lin Xiaojing, as he was named at birth, would not let it go ever again.

Crystalline spikes grew out in the air around Zhou Linfan, surrounding him as a total of 8 spun as a group around him.

Zhou Linfan pointed forward and the crystal spikes flew toward the Dragon Emperor.

Empowered by Immortal Qi, the Dragon Emperor pulled up his Golden Dragon shield, and defended himself against all the 8 spikes. He felt the terrible blowback that came with having to defend an Immortal attack, but throughout this fight, he had been feeling it.

He slowly put down the shield and looked at Zhou Linfan who prepared another technique.

The Dragon Emperor had come to the understanding that Zhou Linfan was going to fight him until the bitter end, and as such he needed to make sure he lasted longer with his Immortal Qi than his enemy did.

But therein came the problem as the Dragon Emperor had no idea of the reserves within Zhou Linfan. As such, he had to take every step with caution, using only the necessary amount of Immortal Qi to fight back.

An illusory water snake the size of the Azure Dragon himself came flying toward the Dragon Emperor, with the strength of an Immortal.

The Dragon Emperor thought of using his shield again but stopped himself.

The shield, while amazing, was only a Saint treasure. While using Immortal Qi itself wasn\'t much of a problem through it, using it to continuously defend against Immortal attacks very quickly chipped away at its durability, until the time when it would simply be destroyed.

That was the last thing the Emperor could allow to happen to the shield. There was something very important in the shield that he needed it for later on, should the necessity come for it.

He could not let it be destroyed so easily.

The Dragon Emperor shot out a lightning bolt through the Noble Dragon Spear, which took on the appearance of an Azure Dragon as it flew toward the incoming Water snake.

The clash of the two beasts let out a terribly cataclysmic bright light in the sky that darkened anything not in it.

The Dragon Emperor defended against the exploding energy that came from the impact and took a moment to look within himself.

\'This isn\'t good,\' he thought. His Immortal Qi reserve was getting lower and lower, and now, it was close to emptying. He couldn\'t help but frown at the sight.

Zhou Linfan\'s rage continuously burned within him. But it had been burning for thousands of years at this point, and he had long since learned how to keep a cool head throughout all the swirling emotions inside of him.

He saw the Dragon Emperor\'s frown through the subsiding colors of the explosion and immediately clocked onto the fact that the emperor was low on his reserve of Immortal Qi.

\'Finally,\' he thought. It was about damn time. It was a very good news, especially given the fact that he too was running low on his own Immortal Qi.

\'3 more attacks?\' Zhou Linfan thought as he assessed how many more rounds of attacks he could make using his remaining Immortal Qi. \'5 if I can use it efficiently.\'

There was no need to use large attacks, and simple attacks that struck just a single person were enough in this instance.

Each attack counted at this point.

A crystalline aura covered his body, formed not of Immortal Qi. Then, he created a single sharp spike out of the crystal using Immortal Qi and shot forward.

\'First one,\' Zhou Linfan thought.

The Dragon Emperor shot out a single bolt of lightning and destroyed the incoming attack. It had been a very small bolt of lightning and made it evident that the Emperor was trying to do the same thing as him.

Neither the Dragon Emperor nor Zhou Linfan even dared to try to dodge the attacks. They knew without a doubt that unless they could teleport, running would get them nowhere and instead get them killed instead.

One could not expect to run faster than an Immortal attack after all.

\'Second,\' Zhou Linfan thought and created another crystal spike. That was the weakest attack he could do with certainty that it would kill the Emperor.

The Emperor fought back with another lightning bolt too. That too was the least Qi consuming attack on his side.

The Dragon Emperor stared at Zhou Linfan, wondering the same thing that Zhou Linfan did.

\'We\'ll see who runs out first,\' Zhou Linfan thought and immediately used the same attack again.

The Dragon Emperor hesitated for a moment but quickly attacked back, sending another bolt of lightning at the incoming attack.

The two attacks clashed and the explosion sent back a weaker, but still strong shockwave throughout the battlefield.

Zhou Linfan paused his attacks for a moment, ignoring the thousands of other explosive noises that came from all around the battlefield. He stared at the Dragon Emperor, trying to discern that this new face of his meant.

The Dragon Emperor showed signs of anger in his face which beforehand had been calm. There was also a sense of frustration and fear, and Zhou Linfan dared not believe he was seeing what he was.

He felt at his own reserve of Qi. He had plenty of Saint Qi, but Immortal Qi, now he only had enough for 3 more attacks.

That was the only thing he could believe in right now. Himself.

He created another crystal spike and shot it out toward the Emperor.

The Emperor\'s hand shook a little with which he held onto the Noble Dragon Spear. He felt at his own Qi and knew this was the only thing he could do under the circumstances.

He used his Immortal Qi and sent out another lightning bolt.

The bolt streaked through the sky like white-hot fire and struck the incoming spike in the air, shattering it into a million tiny sand-like dust.

The explosion was something both of them had been accustomed to by now, so the moment the explosion occurred, Zhou Linfan created his 5th crystal spike and shot out.

The Dragon Emperor noticed the incoming strike and he took on a grim expression as he used a massive amount of Qi to quickly produce a defensive shield.

Zhou Linfan saw that and smiled erratically.

The Dragon Emperor was all out of Immortal Qi.
