Chapter 161 The power of the Ice Crystal Bow: Annihilating Jiang Yi
When Jiang Yi and Master Wei caught up, they saw the corpses of demons scattered all over the ground. Jiang Yi was quite surprised and thought to himself, "As expected of outstanding students from the two universities. Alas, it's a pity that if you hadn't been involved in this plan, you might have achieved great things in the future."
"If you don't want to die, come with us. That's your only chance of survival," Jiang Yi said indifferently.
Hiding behind Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu poked her head out and said with a sneer, "We'd be stupid to believe your nonsense. If we go with you, we'll just be fish on a chopping board, at your mercy."
"TuTu, say less." Mu Nujiao said, pulling Ai TuTu behind her.
Although Ai Tutu is also a mid-level mage, her strength is far inferior to that of Mu Nujiao, Song Xia, Mo Fan, and others. If it weren't for her brother Ai Jiangtu finding connections for her, Ai Tutu would never have been able to join the exchange student team of Mingzhu Academy as a substitute member.
Mu Ningxue said calmly, "I have a magical artifact that can help us overcome this crisis, but I need you to buy me some time."
"Captain, don't worry, we will definitely buy you enough time." Xu Dalong, Xiao Feng and others said in unison, and Mu Nujiao, Zhao Manyan, Song Xia and others from Mingzhu Academy also nodded in agreement.
"Let's get started, but try to leave some alive." Jiang Yi waved his hand, signaling the other guards to begin.
As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, the dozen or so guardian mages who came with her attacked simultaneously. Star trails appeared around them as they continuously unleashed magic at Xu Dalong, Zhao Manyan, and Xiao Feng, with various spells such as fire spells, lightning seals, and ice vines appearing one after another.
Xu Dalong, Zhao Manyan, Xiaofeng, Mingcong, and other prodigies faced the magic unleashed by the mage. Those with defensive magic used it, and those without used defensive magic tools. The outermost layer of protection was Zhao Manyan and Song Xia's Radiant Shield, followed by Xu Dalong and Luo Song's Rock Barrier, and finally Ai Tutu's Holy Shield and Mu Nujiao's Crystal Bracelet.
Xiao Feng, Ming Cong, Shen Mingxiao, and others unleashed attack magic to retaliate. Zheng Bingxiao even summoned two summoned beasts, the Rock Demon and the Rock Troll, from the dimensional space. They charged towards the guard mages while bearing the fierce attacks. The Rock Troll, whose body was as tall as a three-story building, could create a wave of earth more than ten meters high with a single punch. If it hit a person, it would probably smash them into mincemeat on the spot.
The powerful punch struck the rock troll, causing it to stagger back two steps without inflicting any real damage. However, an unlucky mage was sent flying several meters away by the earth ripple created by the rock troll's punch.
"Concentrate your firepower and take out those two summoned beasts first."
As Jiang Yi spoke, he unleashed a whirlwind to strangle the Rock Mage. The Rock Mage was the first to be destroyed by the Mage's attack, turning into starlight and dissipating. Then, the Rock Troll withstood two waves of bombardment and disappeared in the encirclement.
"The Rock Demon and the Rock Troll have been severely injured and teleported back to the dimensional space. Is Captain Mu still not better?" Zheng Bingxiao said, glancing at Mu Ningxue, who was surrounded by Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.
"Alright, leave the rest to me." Mu Ningxue opened her eyes, her whole body radiating an incomparably sharp and icy aura.
Her long, snow-white hair danced in the air, her exquisite face was utterly indifferent, and she held a dark blue magic bow in her hand. She was like an ice queen from an extremely cold snowy region, and as the bowstring was drawn, extreme cold emanated from the magic bow.
Snowflakes danced and ice crystals filled the air. The low-lying clouds in the sky were affected by the magic bow and began to snow. The earth froze violently at that moment. Zhao Manyan, Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao and the others could not withstand the extreme cold and quickly retreated.
"Ice Crystal Bracers!!"
The combination of the Soul-level Ice Seed and the special magical artifact, the Ice Crystal Bow, brought the ice-type abilities to their fullest potential. The extremely cold arrows on the Ice Crystal Bow were slowly being shaped, and Jiang Yi and the guard mages who were being targeted felt the extreme cold corroding them. The arrangement of the mid-level magic star orbits became incredibly slow.
After the Arrow of Extreme Cold was completed, a breathtaking ice crystal storm swept through an area of several miles centered on Mu Ningxue.
Mu Ningxue released the bowstring, and with a chilling "whoosh," the sound echoed through the icy world.
The arrow of extreme cold shot towards Jiang Yi and the others at an incredibly fast speed. Wherever it passed, sand, trees, and rocks were frozen into ice blocks. No matter how quickly Jiang Yi and the others reacted, they had no time to dodge.
The whistling arrow of extreme cold skewered the two mage guards together like candied hawthorns.
Thud! Thud!
Two explosive sounds rang out, and the bodies of the two sorcerers, who were strung together like candied hawthorns, suddenly exploded. Brilliant ice flowers bloomed in the air, displaying a visually striking freezing effect that turned everything in that area into ice sculptures.
On the ground, Jiang Yi and the others were transformed into lifelike ice sculptures, their faces displaying a variety of expressions, including fear, disbelief, resentment, anger, and regret.
They never imagined that among the students being hunted would be an ice mage capable of wielding a terrifying magic bow, let alone that this ice mage from the Imperial Capital Academy could control an ice soul seed. If they had known, they would never have followed Lu Nian on this special mission, risking their lives for the rewards afterward would be a huge loss.
BOOM! ...
With a series of cracking sounds, Jiang Yi and the guards who had been frozen into ice sculptures suddenly exploded and turned into ice shards that dissipated into the air.
Mu Ningxue's flowing silver hair slowly fell behind her shoulders, and the ice crystal bow in her hand turned into shattered ice powder and dissipated. Mu Ningxue also fell backward with a pale face. After noticing Mu Ningxue's condition, Mu Nujiao quickly went over to help her up.
The moment Mu Nujiao touched Mu Ningxue's body, she felt an extreme chill; there was no body temperature at all. If Mu Ningxue hadn't still had a pulse and heartbeat, Mu Nujiao would have thought she had died.
"Are you alright?" Mu Nujiao asked.
Mu Ningxue shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing. Our danger is temporarily over. I just don't know how Jiang Han and the others are doing. I'll go find them after I rest for a while. You take the rest of the group and find a place to rest for now."
"Your condition isn't good right now, why don't I go with you?" Mu Nujiao advised worriedly.
"No, your going won't be of much help to them," Mu Ningxue shook her head and refused.
Mu Ningxue was telling the truth. The strongest member of the training team was Jiang Han, followed by Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan. Then came Liao Mingxuan, who was killed, and the traitors Lu Zhenghe, Ming Cong, Xiao Feng, and Mu Nujiao. As for Ai Tutu and Bai Tingting, they were at the very bottom.

"Boy, are you crazy? You actually want to disturb that commander-level demon's rest?" Li Mingxuan exclaimed.
"I was forced into this by you guys. If you hadn't forced me, would I have bothered to wake up the giant lizard pseudo-dragon?" Jiang Han said calmly.
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and within the dark clouds in the sky, a destructive aura was brewing, with gray-purple lightning surging. As Jiang Han's right hand fell, the gray-purple lightning, filled with destructive aura, struck the sleeping giant lizard pseudo-dragon hard.
Boom! After the gray-purple lightning, the giant lizard pseudo-dragon's wings were blasted apart on the spot. Awakened by the pain, the giant lizard pseudo-dragon let out an angry roar, while Mo Fan and Jiang Han each transformed into dark streaks of light and ran far away along the shadows.
Li Mingxuan and the few remaining surviving mage guards naturally became the perfect scapegoats. The giant lizard pseudo-dragon stared at Li Mingxuan and the others with a fierce glint in its eyes, and swung its claws to slap them hard.
"Kid, you're quite something. Once I've brought your companions here, I'll make you regret this for the rest of your life!!!" Li Mingxuan roared.
