"Ice Demon Erebus, the previous guardian of the Ice Kingdom, I never imagined you would fall so low." Wang Fan spoke slowly, his deep yet clear voice echoing across the icy plain.
Upon hearing Wang Fan reveal his identity, the mysterious man—the Ice Demon Ereboss—was momentarily stunned.
He never expected that the human in front of him would know his origins.
In his mind, his past had long been buried in the dust of history with the passage of time, and no one cared about it.
A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, and that sinister smirk returned to his face.
"Hmph, since you know my identity, you still dare to be my enemy? You're simply courting death!"
Wang Fan's expression was cold and stern, his gaze as sharp as a blade as he stared directly at Erebus, unmoved by the other party's threats. He sneered, "What is there to fear from a traitor who betrayed his country and sold his soul?"
Erebus was enraged by Wang Fan's words, and the icy mist around him grew even thicker.
With his furious roar, the icy mist swept towards Wang Fan as if it were a tangible substance.
"You fool who doesn't know what's good for him, today I'll show you what happens when you oppose me!"
Wang Fan quickly turned around and shouted to the women, "You all step back! I'll handle this guy."
Knowing they couldn't act rashly at this moment, the women nodded and quickly retreated.
They formed a defensive formation not far away, closely monitoring the battlefield situation and ready to provide support to Wang Fan at any critical moment.
Wang Fan gripped the Bloodthirsty Battle Halberd tightly with both hands. The red light on the halberd countered the icy mist of Erebus, illuminating the surrounding space in a mix of red and blue.
He stomped his foot and charged toward Erebus like a red meteor.
He raised the Bloodthirsty Halberd high and brought it down fiercely towards Erebus.
Wherever the halberd blade passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
Erebus snorted and moved his hands rapidly, instantly erecting a huge ice wall in front of him.
"Boom!" Wang Fan's Bloodthirsty Halberd slammed heavily against the ice wall.
The ice wall instantly developed countless cracks, and the powerful impact caused ice shards to fly everywhere around it.
But Erebus did not stop there, taking advantage of the gap in Wang Fan's attack.
He manipulated the ice wall to explode, and countless shards of ice shot towards Wang Fan like hidden weapons.
Wang Fan remained calm as he rapidly spun the Bloodthirsty Halberd in his hand, forming a red light screen that blocked the incoming ice shards.
The shattered ice struck the light screen, producing a dense "clinking" sound, and turned into puddles of icy water that spilled onto the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Fan used the momentum of the rotation.
He lunged at Erebus, thrusting out the Bloodthirsty Halberd once more, aiming straight for Erebus's throat.
Erebus's eyes narrowed, and he dodged the fatal blow.
At the same time, with a flick of his arm, an ice blade appeared out of thin air and stabbed towards Wang Fan's chest.
Seeing this, Wang Fan quickly withdrew his battle halberd to defend himself. With a clang, the ice blade collided with the battle halberd, sending up a dazzling shower of sparks.
The two engaged in a thrilling close-quarters battle on the icy plains, exchanging blows.
Each collision triggered a powerful energy fluctuation, causing the surrounding icebergs to tremble.
The women watching from the sidelines kept their eyes glued to the battlefield.
However, Wang Fan and his companion moved back and forth amidst the ice mist and red light at such a speed that they could only catch glimpses of blurry light and shadow.
Ice shards and sparks flew everywhere, and powerful energy fluctuations distorted the surrounding air, making it even harder for them to see the battle.
Xiao Meng was extremely anxious. She stood on tiptoe, trying hard to make out Wang Fan's figure, muttering, "I can't see him at all. What happened between Brother and that traitor?"
Qin Xiaoxuan frowned, her eyes fixed on the battlefield, trying to find clues in the chaotic battle.
"They're too fast, but I can sense that Wang Fan seems to be a bit stronger."
Su Yalin focused intently, trying to capture the subtle changes on the battlefield as she analyzed:
“Look at the red light that Brother Wang Fan is releasing. It’s not only more dazzling than before, but the frequency of the energy fluctuations is also different. I guess… Brother Wang Fan may have broken through to a higher level last time.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Hua Nianci's eyes as she echoed:
"Very likely! Wang Fan has been accumulating experience all along and even killed a two-headed ice dragon. He might have really broken through. If so, our chances of winning will be much greater."
Su Yaqi nodded slightly, her eyes full of anticipation:
"If Brother Wang Fan breaks through, with his strength, he will definitely teach this traitor a lesson. However, we cannot let our guard down and must be ready to support Brother Wang Fan at any time."
As the women were talking, an even more powerful energy storm suddenly erupted on the battlefield.
The icy mist and red light were instantly dispersed by this force, and Wang Fan and Erebus reappeared clearly before everyone's eyes.
A dense red light surrounded Wang Fan, and the Bloodthirsty Battle Halberd in his hand shone even brighter.
As if it had come to life, it emitted bursts of exciting buzzing.
Erebus's face turned extremely ugly.
Several bloody marks appeared on his body, and some cracks appeared on his ice armor, indicating that he had suffered a loss in the battle just now.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Fan, saying, "You... how about I just give up?"
Wang Fan's expression was cold and stern, his eyes filled with disdain. He said in a cold voice, "Hmph! You think you can just give up like that? What about the people who died in the Ice Kingdom?"
After Wang Fan finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged, and the Bloodthirsty Battle Halberd in his hand glowed red.
He stomped his feet on the ice, which cracked instantly, and he charged toward Erebus at an incredible speed.
Wherever it passed, the air was cut by its blade-like force, making a hissing sound.
Erebus was greatly alarmed, even though he had long known that Wang Fan was exceptionally strong.
But at this moment, truly feeling the opponent's overwhelming aura that far surpassed his own, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
But he was unwilling to admit defeat, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he released all his energy without regard for anything else.
The surrounding ice elements converged wildly, and in the blink of an eye, a huge ice fortress was erected in front of him.
The fortress's surface was covered with sharp ice spikes, emanating a chilling aura.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Fan swung his Bloodthirsty Halberd fiercely.
A massive, crescent-shaped red blade of energy roared out, slashing toward the Ice Fortress with earth-shattering power.
"Boom!" The air blade collided with the fortress, unleashing a deafening roar.
The ice fortress collapsed instantly, and countless ice shards flew in all directions like cannonballs.
Erebus was jolted by the impact, his blood surging and he staggered backward.
Despite his pain, he managed to conjure several ice dragons and unleash them to pounce on Wang Fan with bared fangs and claws.
Wherever the ice dragon passed, space seemed to freeze, and icicles fell from the sky.
