“Killing Note: Explode!”

Nanyu heard a Jagged-Paw Green Demon trying to ambush her from behind without turning around.

The Jagged-Paw Green Demon leapt into the air, raising its jagged paws high as if it was swinging two axes!

Nanyu blew a note into the face of the creature. The glowing note landed accurately on the Jagged-Paw Green Demon’s chest and exploded. The blast ruptured the Jagged-Paw Green Demon’s thick chest and left a bloody hole behind!

The explosion was quite shocking, and almost killed the Warrior-level creature instantly.

The explosion produced strong gusts of wind, sweeping in all directions. Another Jagged-Paw Green Demon that had just reached the roof was caught right in the middle of the gusts. Its face started bleeding.

The sonic energy was able to ignore a creature’s defenses and penetrate its inner organs and head. If the creature did not brace itself, it would suffer serious internal damage!

Nanyu’s attack was directed at a Jagged-Paw Green Demon around four meters tall. The sonic explosion had blown its chest open, but its ally nearby also suffered a serious internal injury… this power was what made the Sound Element so remarkable.

“Mu Ningxue, a group of Jagged-Paw Green Demons has appeared close to you!” Nanyu’s ears captured some movement. She quickly contacted Mu Ningxue through the communication device.

Mu Ningxue was on a building across the street. She was all by herself, and it seemed like she was surrounded by a few Jagged-Paw Green Demons.

The building was covered in frost. The roof even had a thin layer of ice. There was basically no channeling or pause when Mu Ningxue was casting Basic Spells. She could easily spread the frost with a single thought, and its coverage and thickness was stronger than the frost summoned by other Ice Magicians!

After hearing Nanyu’s heads-up, Mu Ningxue stomped her heel on the ice. It cracked into pieces and quickly turned into ice chains under her control.

“Bone Husk!” Mu Ningxue controlled the ice chains to lunge forward before the Jagged-Paw Green Demons even showed up.

A slightly bigger Jagged-Paw Green Demon did not have the chance to take a look at Mu Ningxue’s face before a few ice chains were flying right into its face.

The Jagged-Paw Green Demon was quick to react, too. It kicked the wall strongly, trying to dodge the ice chains, but the ice chains were impossible to evade under Mu Ningxue’s control. She purposely altered their tracks in the process. The Jagged-Paw Green Demon was relieved with how quick it was able to react, yet the ice chains simply rose up and dragged it back down.

The other ice chains quickly wrapped around its limbs and tightened!

The strength of the chains was not to be underestimated. A creature like the Jagged-Paw Green Demons had no chance against the ice chains that were further strengthened by Mu Ningxue’s magic.

The frost froze the Jagged-Paw Green Demon rapidly. Its bones quickly turned rigid, and when it finally lost its force to resist the pressure of the chains, the fragile bones were easily crushed to pieces!

Mu Ningxue’s cold eyes flashed, further improving the strength of the ice chains. The body of the Jagged-Paw Green Demon was contorted out of shape as the ice chains twisted around it…

When Mu Ningxue loosened the chains, the Jagged-Paw Green Demon had already turned into a stiffened, heavily contorted corpse. The other Jagged-Paw Green Demons that had climbed up to the roof inhaled deeply when they saw the corpse.

Initially, they were planning to flank Mu Ningxue and kill her when they saw her standing far away from her teammates. After all, the woman looked like she was too weak to even stand up to the wind. To their surprise, she had instantly killed one of their strongest comrades!

One of the Jagged-Paw Green Demons seemed to be the leader among the creatures, at around five meters tall. It let out a furious roar, trying to drive the fear out of its subordinates’ hearts.

The leader of the Jagged-Paw Green Demons was the first to bear the brunt. It utilized its shocking jumping ability and landed in front of Mu Ningxue, swiping its jagged paws at her head.

Mu Ningxue stepped onto a gust of wind. Her slender figure floated aside, dodging the heavy blow from the leader of the group of Jagged-Paw Green Demons.

The Jagged-Paw Green Demon was quick, too. After missing its first attack, it pulled its paws up from the ground and crouched…

Mu Ningxue had a bad feeling when she saw the creature acting strangely. She immediately prepared herself and used the Wind Track to move to her right, leaving a trail of gust behind.

As she thought, the Jagged-Paw Green Demon was not messing around. It was crouching to gather its strength, before launching itself forward head-first, trying to attack with the urchin spikes on its head.

Mu Ningxue clearly remembered that Jiang Yu had mentioned the paralyzing effect of the spikes on the sea monsters’ heads. It would impair her movements if the spikes hit her.

The Jagged-Paw Green Demon’s speed was remarkable. She would have fallen for it if she had not prepared herself beforehand.

In such a high-intensity fight, being paralyzed for a few seconds was more than enough to give the Jagged-Paw Green Demon a chance to rip her into pieces. Their jagged paws were the best tool to dismember their target!

“Freeze!” Mu Ningxue sprinkled some frost powder with her palm after dodging the attack. The sprinkles of frost immediately formed thick layers of ice on the creature!

The creature reacted by taking a leap back to prevent the frost from attaching to its body. Only its legs were touched by the sprinkles.

Its lower limbs were frozen almost instantly, attaching it to the ice on the ground. It temporarily stopped the Jagged-Paw Green Demon from moving. The creature swung its arms around and roared, signaling its fellows to attack and get rid of the Magician!

The other four Jagged-Paw Green Demons were already prepared to engage. Two Jagged-Paw Green Demons leapt into the air and pounced at Mu Ningxue at different times, while the other two Jagged-Paw Green Demons flanked her from both sides, swinging their jagged paws wildly, planning to slash Mu Ningxue in half!

“Wind!” Mu Ningxue did not try to dodge the incoming attacks, and stood still.

The four Jagged-Paw Green Demons were attacking simultaneously, which basically sealed off her escape routes. However, her secondary Wind Element was not useless at all.

The truth was, after dodging the attack executed by the creatures’ leader, Mu Ningxue had started setting up a Wind Disc trap around her.

The Wind Disc trap was constructed with Wind Disc: Sky Snare. A Magician would temporarily compress the strong energy of a Wind Disc: Sky Snare under their feet. Once the enemy started attacking, the Magician would release the trap, turning the Wind Disc: Sky Snare into a strong wind wall around themselves, blowing the approaching enemy away!
