Zizhou and his group walked slowly on their way back, and the road under their feet was the bustling streets of New York. Zizhou leisurely enjoyed the city's unique slow pace of life. His clear eyes reflected the leisurely figures of the people around him and the colorful signs of the street shops.
Compared to the noisy scene of Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan laughing and joking with each other along the way, Zizhou seemed particularly quiet and peaceful. The other members of the team seemed to enjoy the quiet and peaceful atmosphere as well. They walked silently, occasionally talking in low voices, as if they were afraid to break this rare silence.
After some discussion, Ai Jiangtu and others decided to find a hotel to rest for a while and recuperate before continuing on their journey. After all, this journey has made everyone feel a little exhausted.
However, things often do not go as smoothly as people wish. Just as they were happily preparing to find a suitable place to stay, the sky suddenly changed unexpectedly. The originally clear sky on the street was covered by dark clouds in the blink of an eye, followed by a gust of wind howling past.
“Crackle!”
Accompanied by crisp sounds, crystal clear hailstones poured down from the clouds.
At first, the hailstones were small and there were not too many of them, but before long, they became bigger and bigger and more and more numerous like wild horses that had broken free from their reins.
In an instant, the entire streets of New York were submerged in the overwhelming hail.
At first, everyone thought that it was just ordinary climate change that caused this sudden hailstorm.
However, as time passed, a surprising scene appeared - the number of hailstones not only showed no signs of decreasing, but instead increased. The dense hailstones hit the ground like a torrential rain, making a deafening sound.
"This seems to be hail formed by magic!"
Zizhou, Ai Jiangtu and other companions who were hiding under the wide eaves of a street shop raised their heads and stared at the hail that was falling from the sky and becoming more and more dense.
At this moment, Zizhou had a strong premonition in his heart that these hailstones seemed to have a clear target. They were either coming towards this group of people, or specifically targeting a specific person among them. Thinking of this, Zizhou's expression became more solemn.
"This is really weird. Everyone needs to be more careful!"
Zizhou's low voice sounded, and his serious expression instantly attracted the attention of others. Those who were originally just there to watch the fun, now began to tense up involuntarily, observing the movements around them nervously.
Jiang Yu and the others knew very well that Zizhou's cautious attitude towards this matter was enough to show that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
However, as the tense atmosphere spread, only Mo Fan continued to chat and laugh with the beautiful girl in the coffee shop next door as if nothing had happened, not taking the abnormal situation in front of him seriously at all.
Faced with Mo Fan's careless behavior, Zizhou could only shake his head helplessly and sigh inwardly.
As the captain of the team, Ai Jiangtu naturally knows that he shoulders the important responsibility of ensuring the safety of every team member. So when Zizhou realized that something was wrong, Ai Jiangtu had already entered a state of alert with full concentration, leaning forward slightly, ready to protect his teammates at any time.
But Ai Jiangtu forgot a teammate who was very eccentric—Mo Fan.
In just a split second, the hail that was originally falling from the sky underwent an astonishing change! The icy hailstones instantly transformed into extremely sharp ice cones, rushing towards Mo Fan at an unimaginable and jaw-dropping speed. This sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Zizhou's heart sank suddenly, and he instantly realized that this strange attack was obviously aimed at Mo Fan. However, the speed of the ice cone was so fast, so fast that it took less than a blink of an eye, leaving Zizhou no room to react.
It happened in a split second. Fortunately, Mo Fan used his keen intuition and swiftness to detect the approaching danger in time. Without hesitation, he hugged the female clerk beside him and tried his best to dodge to the side. Although Mo Fan's movements were fast enough, the speed of the ice cones was as fast as lightning, and there were so many of them that they swept over him like an overwhelming force. Even though Mo Fan was able to narrowly avoid some of the attacks, it was still difficult for him to completely dodge them.
Mo Fan himself was not spared. Several icicles grazed his body, leaving shocking scars. Blood flowed down, staining his clothes red. In just a few moments, Mo Fan and the female clerk were both seriously injured and dying.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's unbelievable that he can still be alive like this!"
Suddenly, a figure slowly emerged on the street which was originally empty and eerily quiet. He was a mysterious figure in a blue hooded robe, like a ghost walking quietly out of the darkness.
What was even more strange was that every time he took a step forward, the hail that was pouring down like a rainstorm seemed to stay away from him and could not hurt him at all.
One even wonders whether this sudden hail disaster was caused by him.
In sharp contrast to Zhi Zizhou and others who were currently struggling to defend themselves, this mysterious man in blue was walking leisurely on the street as if he was strolling in a garden. Every step he took was taken with a calm grace, as if he was completely unaffected by the harsh environment around him.

"Such a strong icy aura..."
Mu Ningxue frowned, her eyes fixed on the man in blue who was gradually approaching. She could clearly feel the extremely cold and powerful ice magic fluctuations emanating from the other person. This kind of power shocked Mu Ningxue secretly, because she realized that the strength of the person in front of her should not be underestimated.
Facing such a powerful enemy, Mu Ningxue used her most powerful skill, the Ice Domain, without hesitation. In an instant, with her as the center, a bone-chilling cold air quickly spread out in all directions, trying to envelope and suppress the other party. However, what surprised Mu Ningxue was that even though she had tried her best, the other party was able to easily resist her attack.
Not only that, the ice attainments that person displayed were in no way inferior to Mu Ningxue's, and he was even better in controlling the ice field. He handled the situation with ease, and his every move showed his sophistication and skill. It was obvious that he was an extremely experienced master.
Just when everyone was concentrating on the fierce competition on the field, Zizhou moved silently to Mu Ningxue's side like a ghost. His steps were so light that they hardly attracted anyone's attention, as if he was part of the battlefield.
Zizhou slowly stretched out his left hand and gently placed it on Mu Ningxue's weak yet strong shoulder. At this moment, a wonderful feeling surged into Mu Ningxue's heart. She clearly felt that an extremely powerful force was continuously flowing from Zizhou's hands into her body.
With the infusion of this power, Mu Ningxue's Milky Way suddenly shone with a dazzling silver-white light. The light was so bright and dazzling, as if all the stars in the universe gathered here, exuding endless vitality and mysterious aura.
The ice realm, which had been at a disadvantage, now seemed to have rekindled the fire of life. The originally dull and dim ice layer began to spread and thicken rapidly, emitting an extremely cold light.
In the blink of an eye, the ice field controlled by Mu Ningxue crushed the opponent with overwhelming force.
