Crisis

After quickly collecting all the valuables and the Remnant Soul, Tang Miao rode the Shadow Demon Tiger towards his teammates.

He was somewhat puzzled; he remembered that in the original story, there were no Demon Beast of the level of Sea Python Pseudo Dragon, were there?

How did it become a sea serpent attacking the city?

A red alert had been issued in the sky! This was because the sea serpent clan that had arrived was not limited to the small number in the city; more and more were appearing in the sea...

Tang Miao was puzzled. So, he'd taken the blame for Mo Fan's actions and become the Lord of Calamity? How come he'd only just arrived in Tokyo and already faced Demon Race attacking the city...?

Looking towards the distance, where constellation light occasionally appeared and High-level Magic was unleashed wave after wave, Wangyue Qianxun intended to help. However, Tang Miao directly refused...

Even if he could injure it, Tang Miao wouldn't risk it, let alone be outmatched. Who would be responsible if he got hurt?

He didn't see the potential for any practical benefits in this foreign land. Given the lack of advantages and his general dislike of Little Japan, why would he participate in such a dangerous operation?

Most importantly, Tang Miao sensed a powerful Ice Element fluctuation not far ahead!

Moreover, this power was extremely familiar to him; if he wasn't mistaken, it should be Mu Ningxue firing another arrow...

Let's rewind to ten minutes ago!

The group became separated due to the pursuit by the Sea Python Pseudo Dragon.

Mu Ningxue, Jiang Shaoxu, Mu Tingying, Zhao Manyan, and Jiang Yu ran in one direction, while the others ran in another.

Ai Jiangtu's voice came through the communication device. "Are you all alright?"

As Ai Jiangtu and his group were nearing the Safe Barrier, they realized they were missing personnel and hurriedly made contact.

Zhao Manyan responded, "It seems we... went the wrong way."

The one who had just led the way was Zhao Manyan. As soon as he spoke, Jiang Shaoxu's cursing voice rang out. "Zhao Manyan, you idiot, you're good for nothing and only cause trouble..."

You must understand, this is a city under attack by a horde of Demon Beast!

Making a mistake at this time could very likely be fatal.

At the prime of her youth, Jiang Shaoxu didn't want to die like this. That's why she was so irritable.

In fact, it wasn't just Jiang Shaoxu; the others were also very unhappy.

Zhao Manyan was also feeling frustrated... Did he want to lead them astray?

With such a wealthy family, isn't life great for him?

As they were returning, they encountered hundreds of sea serpents blocking their path. Although the group coordinated well, the sheer number of them was overwhelming...

Moreover, because of their small size, they are extremely agile. None of them possess large-scale destructive power, and if this drags on, the final outcome is obvious.

While everyone was killing and running, Jiang Shaoxu, whose magical artifact energy had been exhausted, became almost a burden.

She was Mind Element mage, but the domineering presence of this Sea Python Pseudo Dragon was terrifying, rendering Jiang Shaoxu's Mind Magic ineffective.

Just when she fell behind and thought she was going to die, Mu Ningxue made her move.

When she appeared in front of Jiang Shaoxu was dumbfounded... After all, she hadn't expected Mu Ningxue to come and save her.

Throughout the journey, she made all sorts of sarcastic remarks...

A fiercer icy wind swept around Mu Ningxue. As Mu Ningxue's silver hair danced wildly, the aura descending from the sky spread out in a circle like an ice storm without warning. The stone houses around Mu Ningxue were frozen in frost in an instant!

Her eyes were like silver snow, so deep they could reflect the azure sky. She turned to one side, her hands inexplicably clenching together, her delicate left arm straightening, her right index and middle fingers pressed tightly together, and she suddenly pulled back the string!

"Whoosh!!"

The ice crystal arrow shot through the air, its tail swirling into a horizontal spiral storm, seemingly incorporating even Mu Ningxue's Wind Magic.

With the tip of the ice crystal arrow as the boundary, the area it traversed—whether buildings, streets, or ruins—was completely frozen. It was a desolate and awe-inspiring sight, as if the Ice Goddess had used an ice paintbrush to paint the human city!

The hundred sea serpents that had come for Jiang Shaoxu were instantly turned into ice sculptures...

Ai Jiangtu and his group, who were rushing towards them from another direction, were all stunned for a moment when they saw the unsolvable ice covering everything as it surged towards them. They then hurriedly dealt with the sea serpents that kept surging towards them...

The chill penetrated straight to the soul; the moment it froze, it felt as if I had stepped into another world.

"Goddess Mu... she's... she's unleashed her ultimate move again!"

Zhao Manyan, who had cast a protective spell on Jiang Yu and the others, said with some surprise.

Back in the capital, in order to earn the title of substitute, Mu Ningxue once publicly displayed the Ice Crystal Brake Bow. However, at that time, it was just a battleground. While it was impressive, without comparison, it was difficult to have an accurate understanding of its capabilities.

However, with just one arrow, hundreds of sea serpents were eliminated without even a chance to escape, which was truly terrifying!

Most importantly, Mu Ningxue is currently only Intermediate Mage...

"Thank you," Jiang Shaoxu said sincerely, looking at Mu Ningxue.

Jiang Shaoxu wasn't stupid. If Mu Ningxue unleashed power beyond her own realm, it would most likely damage her, even disturbing her soul and making it incurable. Her decisive action under those circumstances showed that her heart was free of any impurities.

The next moment, Mu Ningxue appeared to be on the verge of fainting. There was no way around it; after all, they had already fought for a while, and Mu Ningxue simply didn't have the strength to unleash this arrow...

Zhao Manyan and his two companions retreated back to their original spot, now surrounded by pythons... They were completely cut off from cover!

Although Jiang Yu's cat was very strong, it was powerless against such a large number of sea serpents...

As for Mu Tingying, she couldn't care less about jealousy and resentment, because at this moment, it was a matter of life and death.

Just as the sea serpent charged, Zhao Manyan raised a large shield, enveloping all of them within it.

The moment Zhao Manyan raised the large shield, the group thought they had a chance to be saved. But then they heard Zhao Manyan say, "Captain Ai, at most three minutes... if you don't get here in time, we're really done for!"

In an instant, they were filled with despair...

By this time, the sea serpent horde had completely entered the city; how easy would it be for them to attack?

Zhao Manyan also felt guilty, after all, he was the one who led the way... and because of that, he might have survived, but he didn't escape directly.

Ai Jiangtu and his group were now surrounded by sea serpents. These creatures were incredibly fast, and unfortunately, none of them possessed any large-scale destructive magic. Even if they could manage to defeat them in thirteen minutes, let alone three, that would be quite an achievement...
