After the last ice arrow shattered against the stone wall, only a dozen or so stones remained around Su Shengnan, each coated in frost and giving off wisps of cold air.
Su Shengnan gently exhaled a puff of white mist, poked her head out from behind the stone wall, and raised her eyebrows at Jiang Ruoyi. "Looks like my stones are a little harder than your ice."

The dozen or so remaining stones hurtled toward Jiang Ruoyi like meteors.
Jiang Ruoyi frowned. Keeping her hands still, she stamped her foot, and a pale blue wall of ice immediately rose.
Thud, thud, thud... A dozen dull impacts rang out. More than ten spiderweb cracks appeared across the ice wall in rapid succession, nearly breaking through it.
