Chapter 99 Wu Ku Prepares to Make a Move
"I see. Your Heavenly Seed Forbidden Realm ability doubles the power of magic. In some ways, the Forbidden Realm is far inferior, but in others, it is very powerful."
"Twelve times the ice power, double that would be twenty-four times. No wonder those flying beast demons were all frozen to death," Jiuying laughed, his words instantly attracting the attention of the hunters.
Although they are all super-level mages, very few people possess the Heavenly Seed. Among them, only Jiang Shaoqing possesses it, and he only has the Heavenly Seed because he is a member of the Jiang family.
Hua Xiao not only possesses a divine talent, but her abilities are also extraordinary, capable of doubling the power of magic.
The 24-fold ice power hasn't manifested yet because ice is different from other elements. If it lasts any longer, those flying monsters will be frozen into ice sculptures.
Ice-type attacks have a wider range of power.
"Go and kill her for me." Jiuying pointed at the two flying beast demons.
They roared and charged towards Hua Xiao.
However, they were stopped before they could even reach Hua Xiao. The other members of the Forbidden Army were no pushovers; those hunters were on a completely different level from them.
Although the power of magic is greatly reduced in the ice realm, it still poses no problem at all in dealing with these two flying beasts.
Hua Xiao didn't even look at the flying beast; such a trinket wasn't even worth her attention.
After casting the ice magic, Hua Xiao waited for Jiu Ying's counterattack. She was already prepared and could release other magic at any time.
As Jiuying raised its hand, spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared around its body, as if something was about to emerge. It continued to move forward in the interlayered space, trying to break out from inside.
"Spatial Compass - Death Axis!" Hua Xiao noticed the commotion and immediately used the magic she had prepared just as the creature was about to appear.
For a high-level mage specializing in spatial magic, this spell can tear space apart, and everything will be swallowed up by the shattered space.
This is a spatial distortion attack that even the toughest demon's body cannot withstand. It's a unique attack method compared to thunder and fire.
The death axis was released instantly. This was not an elemental magic, but it was still released in a perfect state due to the influence of Dao Bingji.
The space where Jiuying was located was completely devoured, and Jiuying's figure could not be seen for the time being. However, they all knew that Jiuying could not be dead. If it could be killed so easily, it could not be the Cardinal.
Wu Ku watched with his heart pounding. As expected of the Grand Commander, the timing and speed of this spell release were too perfect, leaving no time to react.
If such a blow were to hit him, he wouldn't be unharmed; he would definitely lose two layers of skin.
Although the Nine-Headed Serpent is powerful, it is ultimately crippled and not worth fearing.
The hunters, led by Cheng Du, have already retreated, far away. They are simply not a match for them; they are too strong.
Even if they wanted to help now, it would be futile. Their magic didn't show its original power in the ice domain at all; it was weakened too much. It would be more effective to let the ice freeze for a while rather than use it.
They were also aware of their own limitations; this wasn't about fighting demons. If it were about fighting demons, they could at least join in the fun, since demons are large and easy to target.
But dealing with people is different; the target is too small, while the magic's power is too great, so it simply cannot cause effective damage.
"Ye Quan, we have to go. Let them fight here, we'll go inside." Cheng Du walked over. Ye Quan and Jiang Shaoqing were still on guard, looking ready to make a move at any moment.
"Yeah, why didn't we think of that? We definitely won't get a turn with the cardinal. We might as well go in now while no one's around; we might be able to get something out of it."
"That's what I think too. Even if we go now, we can't help much. That's a fully-cultivated mage with a Heavenly Seed; he doesn't need our help at all."
"Old Cheng, let's go. There are more than just us in Helan Mountain. It would be troublesome if others got the first move."
Someone shouted to Cheng Du, "They've already left."
Seeing that they were unmoved, Cheng Du followed them and left the place.
Now there are only four people left here.
"Old Ye, you go ahead. What they said makes some sense. There's no point in you staying. I can handle things here by myself."
"Chen He, you stay here. You can offer assistance to the commanders of the Forbidden Army when the time is right." Ye Quan thought for a moment and then asked the other person to stay.
Chen He, with a stern expression, simply nodded calmly. He wouldn't object to Ye Quan's decision; he would only carry it out.
Jiang Shaoqing narrowed his eyes. Ye Quan wasn't an idiot. It was no simple matter that he let Chen He stay. Even after witnessing Hua Xiao's strength, he still chose to let him stay.
This Chen He is no ordinary person; he definitely has something special about him.
However, he didn't ask. He figured he would find out when the time was right, and asking beforehand wouldn't do any good.
"Come with me." Ye Quan led Su Ming inside.
Wu Ku glanced at them but did not stop them; their main objective now was Jiu Ying.
Hua Xiao was the same; her goal was Jiu Ying.
Nine-Headed Serpent emerged from the shattered void, unharmed. Behind him appeared a strangely shaped creature, causing fluctuations in the surrounding space upon its appearance.
It started shaking incessantly.
"Can a demon beast at the level of a Grand Monarch affect space?" Hua Xiao quickly analyzed after a brief look.
The Grand Monarch level is already a natural disaster. Even someone like Hua Xiao must treat it with extreme caution and cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.
Hua Xiao was alright. Although she was quite surprised that there was another beast demon at the level of a great monarch, she was dealing with Jiuying. Considering that the other party was a cardinal, everything made sense.
Hua Xiao was not shocked, but Wu Ku was utterly astonished.
Where did this great monarch-level beast get its hands on? He has absolutely no clues about it. It's so strange.
The power of the Nine-Headed Serpent should not have grown so quickly.
Something must have gone wrong.
Now, the Great Monarch and the Beast Demon have appeared to protect the Nine-Headed Serpent. The strongest human mage is only comparable to the Great Monarch. Hua Xiao is also at this limit in public and has not crossed this limit at all.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jiuying can escape, but something unexpected might happen, because Wu Ku is right here.
He was the accident, the accident of Jiuying.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, freezing the ice maiden the moment it hit the ground. Hua Xiao glanced at Wu Ku and became wary.
In her view, both of them were members of the Black Vatican, so it was perfectly normal for them to team up. Wu Ku was no small fry and deserved her vigilance.
The rain continued to intensify and spread, which not only alerted Hua Xiao, but also made Jiu Ying frown.
