Everyone watching the drone's overhead view of Jiang City was stunned.
"Holy crap! Amazing! This angle makes Jiang City look like it's wrapped in a spiderweb!"
"Right! The hardest part of this competition was always finding people. Now... is this any different from having x-ray vision?"
"Don't worry! X-ray vision or not! If we can't fight back, we can still run, right?"
"Exactly! There are so many people here—there's no way Su Muwan can catch them all by herself, right?"
In Jiang City.
Every martial artist watching the situation unfold was shocked by the invisible threads sticking to their backs.
"What is this?"
"I can't cut it, and I can't touch it. Is it a shadow?"
"To cover the entire city at once... Qin Luo is a monster too..."
"Shut up, we need to get out of here! This guy is serious!"
"Right!"
Caesar stood on the street, surrounded by the moaning and groaning of the crowd.
But he had lost interest in them.
He frowned, looking at the threads on his back.
The feeling of being effortlessly controlled was deeply unpleasant.
But!
He looked up at the ice dragon in the sky.
A spark of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Su Muwan!!
My gut feeling was right! You're really strong!
Hunting someone like you! That’s the reason I entered this competition!!
With that thought, he clenched his fists and charged toward a high-rise building, inside which a few people were hiding.
Seeing Caesar charging, their faces went pale.
"Get out of my way!"
Caesar roared as he lunged, both hands plunging into the wall with a bang!
He kicked off the exterior wall and sprinted upward.
Qin Luo stood in the center, surrounded by nine ice dragons. His eyes glowed with an eerie light, as the shadowy threads he controlled seemed alive and restless.
A wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people in Jiang City."
"Miss Su, aren't you going to make a move? Some people seem to be trying to escape."
With the help of the shadow threads, the entire battlefield was under his control.
Qin Luo glanced at Su Muwan, who stood nearby with a cool, indifferent expression. In this state, the cool Miss Su was... quite adorable.
Su Muwan sat on an ice crystal throne. At Qin Luo's words, she slightly turned her head and said coldly, "Talk too much."
"Watch closely..."
"...The next move... is going to be very cool."
As she spoke, Su Muwan slowly raised her hand, her eyes sharpening.
Domain—
Unleashed!
Woomph—!
As her voice fell, time seemed to stop momentarily.
A suffocating chill swept through the air in an instant, its momentum like a raging wave!!
Crack! Crack!
City, roads, plants—everything visible was instantly coated in a layer of frost!
The area of effect was....
The entire Jiang City!!
The audience in the live stream was instantly dumbfounded.
On the screen, one could clearly feel the temperature of Jiang City plummeting!
And even!
"Snow! It's actually snowing?!"
"Holy crap! What kind of ability is this?"
"No way, bro. I'm just a random contestant here. Do we really need to go this hard?"
Every martial artist in Jiang City was equally dumbfounded.
What the hell is this?!
"Oh no!! It's impossible to get out!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A group of people rushed to the border of Jiang City, but!
They were horrified to discover that Jiang City seemed to have been enveloped by something.
In front of them, an invisible wave-like barrier appeared, refusing to yield no matter how hard they struck it!
The commentators were rendered speechless.
Even Li Mingyuan's eyes narrowed.
Domain...
Su Muwan could actually use a domain?
This talent... she's among the top even among transcendents!
Could it be... she has something even more advanced than ours?
In an instant, the temperature of the entire city plummeted, as if it had plunged into the depths of winter.
But it wasn't over yet.
Everyone only heard.
"Within the boundaries of my gaze, none shall escape."
"All the ants who dare to step into my domain, perish in the symphony of ice and shadow."
Qin Luo, standing beside her, was slightly stunned.
He glanced at Su Muwan in surprise.
In this mode, Miss Su was unexpectedly.... so edgy...
As the words resounded, a piercing cold wind rapidly spread.
The chill, carried by Qin Luo's shadow threads, extended swiftly from the sky, like invisible tendrils reaching every martial artist's side.
"Errg! I'm frozen! I'm frozen!"
"Shit! The cold is creeping up along the threads!"
"Shit!"
Crack!
No one who tried to hide could escape this all-encompassing frost, instantly captured by the icy breath.
The intertwining chill and shadow transformed into a massive snowstorm, blanketing the entire city.
"Su Muwan!!!"
Caesar charged toward the high-rise building, attempting to leap toward Su Muwan.
However.
Crackle!
As soon as he left the ground, a blast of cold air froze him in place.
With just one breath.
The power of the snow swept through Jiang City like a tidal wave.
Every hidden martial artist was forced into a frozen statue, their frightened expressions exposed for all to see.
Su Muwan leaned back into her throne, her palm curling as the ice crystal threads shattered.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Her act destroyed the dantian of everyone present, obliterating their cultivation.
"None shall be spared."
Su Muwan spoke indifferently.
Her ice-crystal hair gently danced in the wind.
Under this night sky, the hunt claimed everyone—none could escape, none could survive.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Is... it over?"
"How long did that even take? The day isn't even over, and the battle in Jiang City is already finished?"
"Look! Jiang City's points are shooting straight to the top!"
"Goddamn! What's even the point of playing anymore?"
"Is Su Muwan planning to hit other cities?"
"Surely not! The zone hasn't even started shrinking yet! She should stay in Jiang City to be safe, right?"
However, as the live stream discussions raged on.
On the screen.
The nine ice dragons began to move.
Everyone gasped: "They're moving to other cities to hunt contestants??"
"That still takes time though, right??"
In Jiang City.
Qin Luo stood by Su Muwan's side, glancing at the drone footage with a smirk, waving his hand.
Their screen instantly went black.
Their privacy secured.
Qin Luo leaned in, teasing softly into Su Muwan's ear, "Miss Su, you're so cool, I’d almost fall in love with you if I was a girl."
Su Muwan in her ice-crystal state: "........."
After a moment of silence, her gaze slightly flickered.
She let out a soft humph: "Shut up."
She glared at Qin Luo. "Move, aren’t you the one who said we should finish this competition quickly?"
"Yes, my lady."
Qin Luo chuckled, his eyes glowing with faint light. "Seatbelt fastened, Miss Su."
As his words fell.
A mass of shadow quickly enveloped the ice dragon throne.
In an instant, they vanished from Jiang City.
Click.
The screen restored itself.
All the viewers were dumbfounded.
What happened to them??
The next moment, chaos erupted on the stream.
"Oh no! The building in Matsestic Domed Tourist Sphere is collapsing!"
"oh my god?"
"The throne! Su Muwan's throne crushed the building!"
"Fuck!"
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
What kind of teleportation was that?”How did they suddenly arrive there??
