The Allied Ninjas quickly regrouped, attempting to block their retreat.
"Quickly, all of you, get them on the field!" Tanaka roared urgingly.
Before his voice had completely dissipated in the biting cold wind, the killing intent in Xiao Zhan's eyes had already solidified into a deep blue that was almost tangible.
That look was as if he were looking at a group of ants that had already been marked as dead.
Xiao Zhan's gaze swept over the dark mass of ninja allied forces rushing towards him, and he stomped his foot hard.
An even more powerful and terrifying icy energy erupted from his body like a tsunami, pouring into the earth!
The surrounding temperature plummeted at an alarming rate, instantly dropping below freezing, and the rainwater on the ground quickly froze into thick, solid ice.
Rumble rumble rumble—
The earth trembled violently, and the ice formed from the rainwater surged and rose at an unprecedented speed and thickness!
Glaciers are no longer just covering the ground; they are now growing wildly and aggressively!
A towering, menacing iceberg, exuding absolute stillness and chill, rose out of thin air at an illogical speed amidst the desperate screams and shock of countless ninjas!
In the blink of an eye, an iceberg gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light suddenly rose up on the northern border defense line, replacing the original battlefield and trapping the entire ninja alliance within.
Xiao Zhan's voice was devoid of any human emotion, as cold as a gust of wind blowing from the deepest part of an ancient ice cave, each word carrying a killing intent that could freeze the soul:
"My iron cavalry...sleeps in the cold winds of the North."
"Today, let your filthy blood and souls pave the icy steps to their resting place!"
"All of you Japanese—you must stay here and be buried with us forever!"
Use ice as a coffin!
Use the earth as your grave!
"Cryogenic burial—!!!"
The ice crystal spear in Xiao Zhan's hand emitted a sharp buzzing sound, as if launching a judgment, and pierced straight towards the Ninja Alliance.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Countless violent ice patterns, like awakened frost pythons, burst forth from the tip of the spear, spreading wildly in all directions at a speed far exceeding visual perception!
This is not a simple freeze, but domination! It is the absolute stillness of time!
The ninja alliance that rushed forward was caught off guard and froze.
They were horrified to discover that their bodies had suddenly become completely still. No matter how hard they tried, or even when they used their supernatural abilities, they could not move an inch, as if they were completely locked up by invisible icy shackles!
Wherever the Frost Serpent passed, everything returned to absolute zero and was completely frozen.
Flesh and blood froze, energy dissipated, and the ninjas could even hear the sound of their own blood congealing.
Although their eyes were filled with terror, they couldn't utter a single scream.
Before they lost consciousness, they remained in their forward-charging and hand seal-forming offensive postures, instantly transforming into lifelike ice sculptures, their faces frozen in time.
"What...what kind of power is this?!" Tanaka's heart pounded wildly as he looked at the scene before him, and his voice trembled.
He had seen many high-level ice-type awakeners and ninjas with Kage-level strength, but he had never seen such terrifying ice control ability.
That was no longer manipulation, but domination; it was an absolute power capable of rewriting the temperature and form of this land at will.
"Captain-Commander—!" Matsuyama roared, exhausting all his strength and grabbing Tanaka's arm, trying to tear space apart with him! In this critical moment, they could escape this terrifying icy wasteland.
However, the terrifying ice patterns surged in like a death tide, completely enveloping the two of them.
Their expressions froze on their faces, just like those ordinary ninjas, completely turning into two ice sculptures, maintaining the posture of wanting to escape, becoming part of it.
The ice patterns whistled away with the cold wind, and the ninjas at the back were terrified at the sight, crying out and turning to flee.
Only after they turned around did they realize that their escape route had already disappeared!
They were surrounded by towering ice walls, and had long been sealed off by the thick icebergs.
The entire battlefield, along with all of them, seemed to have been forcibly torn apart from their original world and dragged into an icy hell created by Xiao Zhan!
The ninjas behind them panicked and fled in disarray, only to suddenly feel a slight chill, and all they could see was a vast expanse of white:
"Snow...?"
One of the ninjas looked up blankly, but only managed to utter the last word.
As frost swept in, before they could even marvel at and witness this legendary moment, their bodies were frozen in the icy landscape amidst the icy aura.
Thus, all the ninja allies became eternal prisoners in the ice tomb, forever frozen on the land of the North.
At the summit of the iceberg, Xiao Zhan stood alone, his ice spear pointing diagonally.
Below, countless ninja soldiers were trapped in ice, their last moments of terror and struggle still visible.
The cold wind blew by, bringing with it a series of mournful howls, and no sound of any living creature could be heard anymore.
It seemed to have solidified into an iceberg tombstone dedicated to death.
When the Star Lord is enraged, ice buries a thousand miles of land.
Xiao Zhan looked at the frozen ninja alliance, but his anger did not subside.
"Zhou Zhenbei!"
He gritted his teeth and repeated the name, vowing in his heart to bury it in the ice tomb as well!
Xiao Zhan turned around abruptly with an icy expression, a single tear silently sliding down his cheek and falling into the cold wind.
In the distance, at the northern border defense line that has completely disappeared.
Survivors are helping each other up at the edge of the bombed-out, blackened ruins.
Less than 30% of the Third Legion's survivors were awakened individuals with strong defensive capabilities, and even those who survived were all severely injured.
Among the remaining Northern Iron Cavalry and high-ranking Awakened from the Third Legion, some who still had the strength were now doing their best to rescue the survivors, moving all the wounded to one place to gather them together in an attempt to provide relief.
Some soldiers from Central Plains were still reeling from the sudden attack; their blank stares remained fixed on the ruins, filled with disbelief.
Meanwhile, the battle in the air also came to an end.
Jiang Feng was now old, his hair and beard were all white, and he looked withered and emaciated, his blood almost dried up.
He burned everything he had, but only barely managed to break through the Imprisoning Wind Wall.
Despite using all their trump cards, they were still completely countered by the abilities of the three bodyguards.
Now he is even more exhausted, having overdrawn his life force.
All that awaited him was death in battle!
The light in Jiang Feng's eyes gradually dimmed, his figure became erratic, and the remaining wind energy could no longer sustain him in the air.
He looked down one last time at the towering iceberg below, and the ninja army completely encased within it. A sliver of solace finally settled in his heart, and he murmured, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth:
"The entire Ninja Alliance was wiped out... Could this have been part of your plan, Zhou Zhenbei...?"
Jiang Feng finally exhausted all his energy, closed his eyes, and fell from the sky.
perhaps...
To die on the battlefield, alongside the soldiers of the Third Legion from Central Plains, was the best end for him as a legion commander...
