307 Soul-Grade Ice Seed! (2/2)

They had nothing to do with the mess at all. Now that they had the chance to escape, they could not care less about the others. If those evil Battlemages caught up to them, they would be done for. They were still young, they did not want to die!

”Then...I'll be taking Song Xia with me.” Peng Liang mumbled.

Song Xia was utterly exhausted. There was no way she could escape on her own. It was quite a relief that Peng Liang was willing to look after her.

Zhao Manting glanced at the half-dead Mu Ningxue, the injured Bai Tingting, and finally Mo Fan, who was fleeing towards the ruins of Jinlin City...

”You three, come with me!” Zhao Manting made up his mind.

He was slightly regretful that he had promised Mo Fan to look after the three girls. He was afraid to die, too. He wanted to run away like an unscrupulous coward, just like Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao. However, when he recalled how Mu Ningxue had put her life at risk to save them, and how Mo Fan had left on his own so he would not drag the others into the mess too, there was no way he could leave the girls and run for his own life.

A while later after the students fled, the ice crystals under the bright sunlight finally cracked open.

Commander Lu Nian was the first to break free from the ice. He had managed to apply a layer of protection around himself. The frost might be powerful, but it was not enough to inflict any serious damage to an Advanced Magician.

His face had turned blue after being exposed to the cold. His grim face was enough to imply how furious he was!

They had been tricked by a bunch of students!

However, as a Commander, killing them was as easy as killing poultry with their legs tied up...

Did they really think they could run away?

They had drunk fresh demon beasts' blood and destroyed their nests before. And now, they couldn't handle a bunch of students who were only on their first training mission?

”You guys, go after those who are trying to escape. I want them alive!” Lu Nian said to the soldiers who managed to break free from the ice first.

”Affirmative!” The soldiers were not weak either. They quickly prepared themselves and rushed off in the direction Zhao Manting and the others had fled into.

”The rest of you, come with me. How could we lose our most important test subject?” Lu Nian glared at the desolate city and gave the order to the rest of the soldiers who were regaining their feet.

”Commander, I'm afraid they won't be able to wake up,” the female advisor said.

”Then destroy them.”

...

The remaining ice statues were knocked into pieces. The tiny shattered pieces were mixed with the blood and flesh of the soldiers they contained. When the ice melted, it would be impossible to tell whose corpses were they.

Seven statues were destroyed in total, which meant that Mu Ningxue's single arrow had instantly killed seven talented Intermediate Magicians.

Commander Lu Nian continued to wear an expressionless face, but it was definitely a humiliating defeat for them.

The ice on the ground was crushed as they marched forward. The devils who had stripped off their sacred wind jackets never thought of giving up.

Now, it was not a matter of silencing the students. Their priority now was to seize the kid with Double Innate Elements.

He was their hope to invent the new Element!

When the time came, he would be their ace to overcome everything, including the demon beasts who had been dominating the world for millennia!
