BXBX NOVEL Chapter 58 The Idea Of Defeat
Seth had no intention of engaging in a long fight, his only weapon against a cultivator of this caliber was Raiju\'s lightning, and all he had was his little qi and enlightenment sphere to support it, his plan was to end this battle as fast as possible and then get some enlightenment points from Nina, Seth thought as he licked his lips.
"Is sex the only thing you ever think about?" Treuchi asked when he saw the perverted look on Seth\'s face, "do you ever entertain the idea that you might not survive this fight".
"That\'s impossible, "Seth said with a chuckle.
"And why is that impossible" Treuchi probed further,
"Well, that\'s because…." Seth wanted to say but found himself unable to complete his sentence because no concrete reason came to mind.
Before Seth could even ponder further on that thought, his mind was forced to focus back on the battle as the old man quickly moved beside him and swung his staff at Seth, his swing bringing with it a raging wind.
The lightening around Seth spiked as he prepared to move out of the way of this swing, but just as he took 3 steps away from the attack, he found himself slipping on ice and falling to the ground.
Seth was so shocked by the appearance of this ice and his embarrassing fall that it took him a few seconds to recover, but Treuchi had no intention of letting him enjoy those 3 seconds, as Seth sensed a movement of a large amount of qi underneath him, and just as he moved to get up, a staff slammed him back down crashing back into the ground.
Seth knew that he couldn\'t afford to receive this incoming attack and with him out of time to attempt another escape maneuver, he roared,
"Roooaaar",
his roar smashing away everything around him and sending the old man into the air, and just as Seth was trying to catch his breath, he saw the bottom of a huge white pillar of ice pass through the ice dust his roar had created in the air, rapidly descending on his panting figure.
With his fingers all pointing forward, Seth used as lightening coated arm as a sword to slash at the approaching pillar, cleanly cutting through it as it went past him, and then sending out his left hand to punch at the white staff which moved to attack him immediately the ice pillar went past.
Seth skidded backward a little from the rebound of the hit, and immediately he sent out his hands again and using his forearm, he deflected away another staff attack, but this time he retaliated with a kick which the old man unfortunately cleanly slapped aside before once again swinging his staff at Seth.
A close combat battle began with the man swinging his staff from several angles at Seth, while Seth used his lightening covered body to deflect or defend against his attacks, and sometimes he also sent out his own attacks which the old man easily dealt with.
Perhaps in the air, Seth had an advantage of speed, but down on the ground, Seth found himself being overwhelmed by the old man\'s agility and his ability to cleanly read his attacks.
He seemed to be taking a stroll as he deftly moved out of the way of Seth\'s sweeping kick and then sent his staff descending on Seth who used both his arms to brace for impact and was sent him sliding backward and drilling into the thick snow till he was covered by it.
With a burst of lightning, Seth burst out of the ground and jumped backward, creating a considerable distance between him and the now stoic old man, but unfortunately for Seth, the man had no intention of giving him a breather as he immediately came after him.
Seth seeing the old man approaching swallowed saliva as thoughts of fleeing passed through his head, this battle was not going the way he had planned it out, he had done some research on his target and knew that his name was Athetaico Treuchi, a 213 year old man born in Ergand federation who had decided for some reason to leave and reside in this village, he was a 7th stage liquid Kaiser level cultivator.
Though Seth didn\'t have the help of Raiju in using his lightening this time, he had still expected himself to win after a tough fight, back then he was fighting a rank 8 beast, but now he was fighting someone with far weaker cultivation.
Seth was all up for a tough battle, but what had just happened was anything but that, the intel he received labeled the old man as a wind user, yet the old man had embarrassed him by making him slip on ice and then proceeding to hurl a pillar of ice at him, and as if that wasn\'t bad enough, he just realized that the old man had been toying with him.
The old man countered and dealt with his every move like he could see the future, while Seth was getting himself pulverized with every hit from his staff he deflected, his arms were filled with sores and bruises all over despite them being encased in lightening.
Like a flash of lightening, the thought of fleeing went in and out of Seth\'s head, a smile flashed on his face as he was filled with excitement, though he was getting his ass whopped by the old man, his spirit burned for victory, he yearned to overcome this obstacle in his path and crush him to the ground, and laughing manically, he stepped into the air and ran towards Treuchi, intent on improvising and pulverizing the old man from the air.
Unfortunately for Seth, just as he was some distance away from the approaching man, a huge cloud immediately come out and block the sun, and before he knew it the little snow which was drizzling became a heavy shower, he felt a sense of dread go through him and knew he had to get out this area immediately, but the next thing he knew, there was a flash of white near him and he found himself smashing back into the ground.
Seth learning his lesson ignored the pain and immediately stood up with blood running down his lips and then looked up into the air.
"I have seen enough, today you die here" Treuchi swiftly announced and from the air began swinging his staff at Seth.
Each swing had a huge gust of wind smashing towards Seth, with him struggling to dodge or withstand it, but just when Seth thought that was all, he saw a huge high wall of ice form around him and then ice spikes growing out of the walls and shooting at him.
Seth seeing the approaching danger decide to ignore the wind blast which the old man was sending his way and immediately take to the air, but just as he took two steps up, he felt himself begin getting slower with each step he took.
Seth gritted his teeth and persisted onwards through the air, but just before he could go above the wall, a huge ball made of ice descended from the sky and smashed him back to the ground, burying him deep within the snow and resting over him as his gravestone(check this)
With blood pouring out of his lips and purple lightening crackling all around him, a ragged-looking Seth burst of out of his snowy grave, his clothes were filled with tears and blood bleeding out of the small cuts on his body, but unfortunately what welcomed his resurrection was a loud shout of "Ice Fall "as a huge sword made of ice rapidly fell down on him, exerting a heavy pressure as it was just on the brisk of making contact with him.
Facing such an attack, Seth was left with no option but to build a cocoon of lightening as thick as he could to withstand this literal sword of Damocles.
Treuchi watched his newest move "Icefall " smash into the lightening the man had put around himself, and though his barrier held for some time and withstood half of the sword, the reaming half of it finally smashed through the barrier and killed the perverted young man.
Treuchi was just about to go and confirm the pervert\'s death when he felt a sudden rise of qi where he had just tried to bury and then stab his opponent.
"Maybe I should have used three swords, "Treuchi thought with a chuckle, "Hmm what trick is he about to pull out this time.
Seth was like a little kid wielding a giant hammer, the young man only knew how to swing around his weapon with no finesse to it, Treuchi cut off his chuckle as he reminded himself to take Seth very seriously, he was a strange man who wielded power that should be impossible for his cultivation level, the fate of Treuchi\'s family was on the line and the sooner Seth died, the better.
