Chapter 132 Frost Blooms·Adherence (2/4)
As the leaves swept by, students who could no longer hold on suddenly felt a surge of strength as frost descended, allowing them to repel the monsters. Panting heavily, they rejoiced in the cold, “Someone’s here to save us!”
Hearing this, other students also felt the healing power, and excitement flickered in their eyes. They shouted, “It must be someone from outside saving us!!”
They resisted the monsters with even greater effort.
“We can only go all out!”
Seeing Lin Mo approaching, Su Xiao Yu gritted her teeth, her expression hardening. She no longer hesitated, throwing a punch that carried a blast of frost towards his face.
“Overestimating yourself!”
Sensing the energy, Lin Mo reacted, casually swinging the blade in his hand to meet the punch, sneering, “So what if a master has arrived? Just a healing type!”
“Die, you little beast.”
He looked at Su Xiao Yu with a hint of malice. “It was your crazy sister who forced me onto this path, the path of those without talent—getting involved with the Ancient God Sect.”
The three intern Dragon Hunters tried to get up and rush over, but it was too late. The butterfly-adorned girl made a few feints with her feathers, but they only created ripples on his shield.
Sun Wukong, the boy, was the most severely injured, with a deep gash on his thigh. Without those frost leaves… he wouldn’t even be able to stand.
Those around him, including students fighting nearby, could only sigh for him, buying time for him against the monsters. They knew that once the physician arrived, the situation would surely turn around.
“Su Xiao Yu, I’m not laughing at you for being a simp anymore, hold on for me!” a male voice shouted, its origin unknown.
“If I can’t find anyone to simp for later, I’ll marry you!”
“Su Xiao Yu, I want to recognize you as my brother!!”
…Many such voices echoed.
Prayer and gratitude were perhaps the final rewards for the brave.
After all, the difference was too great. An Intermediate Stage Warrior and an Intermediate Stage Battle General spanned an entire major stage. Everyone thought Su Xiao Yu was doomed.
At this moment, Sun Wukong, the boy with the mask, seemed to see something and his entire expression relaxed. He gave an awkward smile and leaned against the Pigsy beside him.
She has arrived.
Just as the blade was about to cut Su Xiao Yu, a figure covered in snow appeared behind her, followed by a crisp sound of kicking a sword, which then merged with the sound of metal clashing.
“Clang!”
Frost energy concealed the sparks, and a deafening roar emanated from the point where the two swords met, like the thunder of an avalanche on a snowy mountain!
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Frost splattered, and swirling air currents intertwined with white mist surged outwards like countless vicious dogs. Both monsters and students could only see a vast expanse of white.
“Who? Who are you?!” Lin Mo retreated several steps, clearly feeling the immense force transmitted through his hand, and quickly asked.
Seeing the figure before her, Su Xiao Yu stared, then dazedly said, “Little Whirlwind… Sister.”
The figure before her wore a cloak wrapped in thick snow. The Little Whirlwind mask had two eyes emitting a pale blue glow, and in her hand was the sword of the girl who had been beside him.
“Quick, let these people leave! There’s no time, the divine descent is about to begin.”
“There’s a stronger Chief Judge over there, and we don’t know what he’s doing right now, but he should be here soon!”
Su Jiu glanced at him, shouted coldly, and then swung her sword at Lin Mo. As her black robe was torn, streaks of frost-moon appeared, her sword energy strangely filled with coldness—before the moonlight could arrive, a sharp glint reached its target first!
“String Moon Swordsmanship!”
Even without E Huo’s support, Su Jiu’s understanding of this swordsmanship had reached minor completion. Facing someone like Lin Mo, who rarely fought, it was more than enough.
“What a fast sword! Even those who specialize in swordsmanship, the talented individuals, aren’t much better than this? Su Xiao Yu calls her sister, could she be…”
Seeing these cold glints, Lin Mo was greatly alarmed and tried to counterattack, but unexpectedly, most of his attacks were met with frost energy. The actual sword was hidden within the frost, causing several bone-deep wounds on his chest and shoulder, leaving him with an extremely unsightly expression.
If his opponent had a beast weapon with special attributes, he would already be a corpse.
Su Jiu did not stop. Next, another frost bloom slashed towards his face, her sword momentum continuous, sometimes like a full moon hitting directly, gathering momentum to cleave, and sometimes like dark clouds hiding the moon, one sword concealed within another.
Full Moon, New Moon, Half Moon, Crescent Moon, String Moon!
“You are Su Jiu!?”
As he retreated, Lin Mo noticed the black skirt beneath the black robe and stared intently at the pupils within the mask, asking in a low voice.
He had little combat experience, relying solely on consuming treasures to advance. Naturally, he was beaten back repeatedly. The swordsmanship of ancient, venerable sword god families was no joke.
…
“What’s that thing zipping through?!”
“What’s going on? Did Su Xiao Yu do something?”
“No—someone is fighting that Intermediate Stage Battle General with a sword!”
Ice shards pricked their skin, allowing them to barely see what was happening ahead, but the scene before them filled them with shock.
“Clang clang clang!”
In the thick fog, sword light and blade shadows intertwined, with emerald green and blue sword energy clashing. The petite black shadow, moving nimbly, dodged and weaved, constantly pressuring and beating Lin Mo. As the wind and snow slightly dissipated, someone discovered the situation within.
“Is that Little Whirlwind?”
Mo Han Zhi was the first to exclaim. She had too deep an impression of Little Whirlwind, always glancing at her whenever Sun Wukong had any trouble.
She thought it was her imagination, but now, seeing it, it was definitely not an illusion. This Little Whirlwind was their leader.
At this moment, someone also guessed Little Whirlwind’s identity. If Tang Sanzang was Lu Xin, then this person was—”Lord Su!” As this title was called out, everyone present recalled that cold and aloof figure.
“Let’s not stand around! Quickly clear the monsters and get out of here!” Su Xiao Yu rushed out of the mist, shouting to the surroundings with some urgency. “The divine descent is about to begin! There are others behind us, hurry and run!”
Hearing this, the others were startled. After clearing the monsters around them, they dared not linger and quickly headed towards a gap about three hundred meters away.
With Su Jiu’s intervention, the three Dragon Hunters rejoined the battle, and Lu Xin’s pressure was significantly reduced, allowing her to catch her breath. Looking at Su Jiu’s side, she was completely overwhelming and beating Lin Mo.
She finally understood the origin of the wounds on the woman on the train and couldn’t help but sigh, “Is this a Night Watcher? The representative of Dragon Country’s strongest individual combatants! No wonder they could complete the Siren mission.”
Facing the surrounding praise, Su Jiu’s expression was extremely solemn. She had only one goal now: to defeat the opponent. Time was running out—the divine descent was about to begin!
Moreover, no reinforcements had appeared from outside yet. What could have happened!!?
Where is Dad!?
…
Off-site, the judging panel.
“No one move rashly!”
The scene was chaotic, with the Law Enforcement Hall surrounding the area. The entrances and exits to the examination inside were locked for unknown reasons, and many beams of light suddenly broke through the ceiling, shooting towards the sky.
Looking at the massive beams of light, the judges present wore expressions of annoyance and fear.
This was one of the judges from before, whose children were still in the examination area. He angrily yelled at the Law Enforcement Hall personnel blocking him, “Quickly break open the venue, why are you blocking me?!”
Ignoring the commotion behind him, Su Xing Guo narrowed his eyes and looked at Director Yan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, and questioned him sternly, “Director Yan, did you summon the Law Enforcement Hall?”
“That’s right.”
Yan Fang looked over, but her eyes held no previous respect, only a sense of inexplicable pride. She looked calmly at the beams of light, her expression placid, saying,
“Mayor Su, you seem to understand something. And your daughter is also missing.”
After scanning the strange atmosphere of the surrounding Law Enforcement Hall, Su Xing Guo dared not act rashly. Listening to her words, according to Su Jiu’s information, there should be some internal traitors involved.
This Director Yan was unfathomable, and with the internal traitors, he couldn’t handle so many.
The two of them were at the very front of the judging panel, looking at the frosted glass below, which seemed to isolate them from the other judges and the Law Enforcement Hall personnel behind them.
“Understand what?” Su Xing Guo asked, his expression unchanging.
“Nothing much, you’ll know soon.”
Yan Fang took out a pager-like device from another pouch and quietly looked at the text on it, showing a faint smile.
