Chapter 2871: The Glacier Mountain Demoness

There were also experts who specialized in water control in the Annihilation faction. It didn’t take long for water skills to be invoked as these experts attempted to control the sea.

The next moment, a furious wave crashed down on their ship, dragging the water control experts from the deck into the sea. Terror filled their expressions as they anxiously tried to return to the ship.

Water control experts like them should have felt comfortable in the water as if returning home, but their faces showed no composure, only shock and fear. It was as if there was a monster in the water dragging them down.

This baffled everyone in the Annihilation faction.

A hint of cold ran down their spines as they realized that the enemy had a water control expert who far surpassed theirs. But this didn’t make sense. Even if the Zheng clan specialized in naval warfare, they shouldn’t have had experts who could overpower them like that.

Confounding Crossroads rushed to the ship’s bow to supervise the battle. As Dissonant Melody’s son, he was neither lacking in power nor courage. He calmly issued orders to his troops, and his presence significantly boosted their morale.

The soldiers shook off their earlier fluster and quickly returned to their formation to fight back the Zheng clan’s navy. Soon, they inflicted considerable damage upon the Zheng clan.

After all, the Annihilation faction had the overwhelming advantage right now.

The Zheng clan’s navy fled. That prompted many Annihilation soldiers to raise their hands and cheer loudly while praising Confounding Crossroads’ valiance.

Confounding Crossroads smiled. This battle would greatly raise his prestige, and now that he had been through a life-and-death situation with the soldiers, perhaps he'd be able to win over some aides and promote them into powerful positions as a counterweight to those powerful officials.

The Plain Yellow Banner’s commander, Namusange, had been standing guard near Confounding Crossroads to ensure his safety when his eyes suddenly narrowed. He murmured in confusion, “Why is that mountain over there so tall?”

Confounding Crossroads looked over and saw a towering mountain that pierced the clouds. He, too, muttered in incomprehension, “Isn’t it a sea over there? Why is there a mountain?”

It was his first time here as well, so he wondered if there was some kind of divine mountain in the sea.

Namusange’s face suddenly paled. He roared, “That isn’t a mountain, but a tsunami!”

His shout made everyone’s hearts turn cold. They finally understood why the tides had receded earlier. It turned out that all the seawater had gone to the tsunami!

Several Annihilation experts stood forward. These individuals were strong enough to unravel even a towering tsunami. They channeled their ice element skills and unleashed storms at the wave. Even the sky began to snow under their sheer prowess.

When the snow touched the Annihilation soldiers, the weaker ones swiftly froze into ice sculptures. However, no one uttered a complaint; if anything, they were thrilled. The ice had to be cold enough for them to seal off the tsunami. Otherwise, all of them would die once it crashed down on them.

Under the raging snowstorm, the tsunami began to solidify into ice with creaking sounds. Meanwhile, the entire sea region was encased in ice. Even the tsunami had solidified in place as a massive ice wall.

The Annihilation faction’s ice users crumbled weakly to the ground. They had squeezed out every bit of their energy to freeze the tsunami in place.

Nevertheless, the Annihilation faction’s soldiers still cheered in delight.

Indeed, ice users curb water users. The indigenous population of this world can’t possibly stand a chance against the overwhelming might of the Annihilation faction!

Just then, the soldiers spotted a gorgeous woman wearing a flowing blue dress standing on top of the frozen tsunami. Her graceful figure and beautiful appearance prompted many soldiers of the Annihilation faction to whistle at her.

She is truly beautiful. How wonderful would it be if we could capture her and play with her for a night?

The Annihilation faction had destroyed countless worlds. Arson and plunder were everyday activities for them. In particular, they enjoyed conquering the wives and daughters of deceased enemy soldiers.

Unable to hold back their urges, many soldiers rushed at that woman, fearing that someone would beat them to it.

Only the soldiers who had been stationed at Jiangnan paled in fright as they stuttered, “I-It’s the Glacier Mountain Demoness!”

As the ones who had been fighting against the Zheng clan’s navy all this time, they had witnessed many of their comrades dying to this woman’s frigid ice. Their fear of her had been deeply imprinted in their souls.

Her ice skills were already powerful before. They trembled to imagine how powerful she had to be now that the world was encased in ice...

Many Jiangnan soldiers instinctively turned tail and fled.

It went without saying that the woman wearing a blue dress, standing atop the tsunami, was none other than Chu Chuyan.

She looked at the faces beneath and sighed.

Everything is going as Ah Zu planned. We first used his water control ability to plunge the Annihilation faction into a panic, prompting them to freeze the surroundings with their ice element users without thinking deeper into it.

And now, this is my battlefield.

Chu Chuyan gently stepped on the ground. The towering frozen tsunami shattered into countless ice spikes that surged toward the Annihilation faction.

She wouldn’t have been able to unleash such overwhelming power under normal circumstances, but the Annihilation faction’s ice users had helped her out greatly. It was as if they had worked together to unleash this powerful move.

Confounding Crossroads was horrified. He roared at his subordinates to control the ice spikes hurtling toward them, but the Annihilation faction’s ice users had already depleted themselves to freeze the tsunami. They no longer had the energy to stop Chu Chuyan.

Those who preserved some energy were nowhere near powerful enough to stop this intense bombardment of ice spikes, which was even denser than rain. There was no way to dodge the spikes at all.

Cries of agony echoed from the Annihilation faction, though they quickly came to a halt. Those struck by the spikes swiftly turned into ice sculptures, even before their blood could splurt out of their injuries.

The Annihilation faction’s remaining experts desperately defended against the ice spikes while trying their best to protect Confounding Crossroads. However, the spikes were too terrifying. The battlefield descended into chaos, to the point where the Annihilation faction’s troops could no longer keep track of Confounding Crossroads’ whereabouts.

In Xiamen’s naval battle, the Annihilation faction’s army of a hundred thousand elites was wiped out. This was a defeat of unprecedented proportions. It caused a huge stir in the world.

There were even rumors that Confounding Crossroads had been killed amid the chaos.

The officials managing Jiangnan were plunged into fear. If the emperor died on their turf, there was no way they would be spared. So, they anxiously dispatched their subordinates to search for Confounding Crossroads.

Amid their despair, Confounding Crossroads finally returned. He was severely injured, but at least he was still alive!
