Crack!!
The Chakra condensed within Iwaku's body took effect, helping him break free from the hard ice.
"Pant... pant..." Iwaku gasped painfully.
Though he had successfully broken out of the ice, the greatest damage Ice Age had inflicted on him was the cold that had invaded his body.
A careful look would reveal that Iwaku's hands and feet were still trembling nonstop.
Drip!
Water droplets soon began forming on the ice encasing Rōshi, followed by great clouds of white steam. A terrifyingly high temperature erupted from Rōshi's body, melting the ice.
Mu Yue was not particularly surprised. The Four-Tails' Chakra possessed the power of Lava Release, so breaking free from the ice was not difficult.
After all, although Ice Age was a powerful skill drawn from an S-rank scroll, Mu Yue's proficiency in Ice Release was far below his proficiency in ordinary Chakra Nature Transformation.
Moreover, Mu Yue had not developed a Breathing Technique that could enhance Ice Release.
Without the many buffs his other skills enjoyed, it was truly difficult for Ice Age to instantly kill experts like Rōshi and Iwaku.
Of course, that only applied to those who were too strong. Ordinary jonin and anyone below them were simply finished—they could not withstand that deadly cold at all.
