"Seventh Sister."
Dongfang Minghui hid behind her and poked her head out, but saw nothing. Still, Seventh Sister's Spiritual Power had begun radiating outward on its own, and Toothless was already pawing the ground with her forelegs, her sharp claws scraping through the snow with a rustling sound. Even Little Artifact Spirit, sitting atop Toothless's head, had fallen silent.
Everything around them was a vast expanse of white. Never mind a person-not even a ghost's shadow was in sight.
Yet she inexplicably felt that something was wrong. She reached into Love Entwined and drew out three Plum Blossom Nails.
"Ow!"
At that babyish cry, Dongfang Minghui saw Little Artifact Spirit suddenly fly backward off Toothless's head. Before she could examine what had happened, Seventh Sister had carried her more than three meters away.
The flames Toothless spat seemed to hit an obstacle, falling out of the air.
"Roar!"
"Toothless!"
An invisible force slammed Toothless hard against the wall. Icicles came showering down, some even striking her large head. Toothless shook herself and swiftly rose to fight back.
Dongfang Minghui stared wide-eyed. Toothless looked possessed, thrashing back and forth in the empty passage. Even the masses of flame she spat dropped to the ground almost as soon as they emerged.
Little Artifact Spirit, who had just been knocked away, fluttered back to join Toothless against their common enemy.

The instant they touched that seemingly empty mass of air, they were extinguished.
Dongfang Minghui could not help rubbing her eyes. She could see nothing. "Seventh Sister, what exactly is it?"
Qian Wanyu could sense that their opponent was probably about the same size
