Mu Ningxue did not come up with the idea of using the Wind Disc as a trap herself. She saw Okamoto using it during the duel between him and Guan Yu at the West Guardian Tower.
However, Guan Yu was just too fast. He managed to stab Okamoto before he could activate the trap. Okamoto lost the duel, yet Mu Ningxue was intrigued by his move.
Not every person or demon creature was as fast as Guan Yu; the Wind Disc trap was a very practical way to use the Wind Spell without a doubt. Since then, Mu Ningxue had spent some time figuring out how Okamoto had done it, and discovered that she could cast a Wind Disc beforehand and suppress it to right below the point of release. When something moved closer to the trap, disrupting the airflow, it would trigger the Wind Disc, producing a strong wind surrounding Mu Ningxue like a wall and blowing the creatures that tried to approach her away!
The Jagged-Paw Green Demons were ocean creatures. They were sensitive to moisture, but they were unable to sense any strange airflows. They assumed they could easily cut the female Magician into pieces by flanking her simultaneously, but to their surprise, Mu Ningxue stayed still and used the Wind Disc trap perfectly!
The strong wind howled fiercely and formed a tornado with Mu Ningxue at its center.
Both the leaping Jagged-Paw Green Demons leaping and those attacking her on the ground were tossed into the air by the strong wind barrier. Two of the Jagged-Paw Green Demons slammed into one another and stabbed each other's faces with the spikes on their heads.
The paralyzing effect soon took hold, the two Jagged-Paw Green Demons suffering facial nerve paralysis. The flesh on their faces hung loosely, as if they had turned into two extremely aged demon creatures. They looked rather comical.
The leader of the Jagged-Paw Green Demons was infuriated. Its four idiotic subordinates had missed a great opportunity, wasting the effort that it had put in!
It had no choice but to settle the fight itself. The Jagged-Paw Green Demon broke free from the ice entrapping its legs. Its throat shuddered, seeing Mu Ningxue had her back to it.
The creature fired a long, thin water beam at Mu Ningxue's slender back.
Mu Ningxue had her ice chain wrap around her waist. It dragged her to the side, barely dodging the surprise attack. The water beam struck a balcony and punctured it!
The leader of the Jagged-Paw Green Demons had perfectly demonstrated that it was possible to puncture rock with water. Unfortunately for it, Mu Ningxue would never lower her guard in a fight!
”I'm here to help!” Guan Yu glided across the sky with a Wind Track and landed beside Mu Ningxue.
Guan Yu's offensive capabilities were quite outstanding, especially the unique arm gauntlet he was wearing. If he was given the chance, he basically could kill Warrior-level creatures like the Jagged-Paw Green Demons with a single blow.
The truth was, even if Guan Yu did not show up, Mu Ningxue had no problem looking after herself. She was an Ice Magician. The Ice Element was not known for its ability to end fights in a short period of time, but for the advantages it had in a prolonged fight.
Mu Ningxue's frost never stopped spreading. The Jagged-Paw Green Demons felt their skin turning numb and their bones turning stiff. They did not realize that they were actually getting slower.
The frost would fully penetrate the creatures' muscles, bones, hearts, and blood with enough time. As such, in just a few more minutes, Mu Ningxue would not even need to waste her energy on the Jagged-Paw Green Demons; they would simply lose their ability to fight due to the frost, and be shattered by Mu Ningxue's ice chains!
