An icy wind brushed their faces. A chilling mist descended from the darkness and froze the seawater when it touched the surface of the ocean.
It was not just a thin layer of ice. It was as sturdy as rock, and too thick for the Sea Hook Black Beasts to break through!
The ice covered a great distance, trapping a lot of the Sea Hook Black Beasts under the thick ice. However, the direction the ship was sailing in was left alone, allowing the ship to keep going!
”Xuexue?” Mo Fan immediately knew who it was when he saw the ice.
Mu Ningxue's Nirvana Ice Domain was extremely effective against large groups of demon creatures. The frozen sea greatly hindered the Sea Hook Black Beasts' movements, lifting a great burden from everyone's shoulders.
”Follow me!” Mu Ningxue stayed in the air while guiding the ship forward.
Below the ice, a few Viscera Hunters seemed to have realized how much of a danger Mu Ningxue was to their plan. They quickly moved into Mu Ningxue's flight path and suddenly sprang up into the air, breaking through the ice.
Only the Viscera Hunters were capable of breaking through Mu Ningxue's ice. They sprang into the air and surrounded Mu Ningxue, trying to take her out at once.
Mu Ningxue did not even glance at the Viscera Hunters. She continued to unleash the power of her Domain to freeze the surface of the ocean. When the four Viscera Hunters were around ten meters away from her, their bodies starting freezing with every meter they traveled.
The Viscera Hunters finally reached a distance of five meters away from her, but they had all frozen completely. They fell straight down upon the layer of ice above the sea.
Smash!
The four Viscera Hunters broke into bloody-hued pieces of ice. The rest of the Viscera Hunters shadowing Mu Ningxue immediately gave up on the thought, which would surely get them killed!
”I'll keep an eye at the back!” Mo Fan yelled.
Every Viscera Hunter that showed up at the front would die for sure with Mu Ningxue clearing the path ahead. The weak Sea Hook Black Beasts were trapped under the ice. They had no chance of breaking through the ice, regardless of their numbers!
The layer of ice had given Mo Fan a wide area to fight the sea monsters on. He swiftly went to the back of the ship and jumped onto the ice.
”Take care of yourselves,” Mo Fan told Cao Qinqin and Tang Peng.
Tang Peng, Jiang Shen, and the others had witnessed Mo Fan's strength. They did not to worry about his safety.
The Viscera Hunters were the only ones that could break through Mu Ningxue's ice. Mo Fan soon noticed that many of the Viscera Hunters were striking the ice, trying to help the Sea Hook Black Beasts break through it.
A lightning bolt struck the Viscera Hunter when it lost its balance and disintegrated it instantly into bloodspray.
A Viscera Hunter that was hiding under the ship suddenly appeared, swiping its claws fiercely at Mo Fan's stomach.
”Rebelling Shadow!”
Mo Fan decisively consumed a Commander-level Soul Remnant. The Dark Material materialized in the Viscera Hunter's vicinity, a shadow that looked exactly the same as the Viscera Hunter, attached to the creature's back!
The Rebelling Shadow had sharp claws, just like the Viscera Hunter. It tore the Viscera Hunter's throat apart before it even knew what happened!
The Viscera Hunter's blood scattered across the air as soon as it jumped up. Jiang Shen's eyes widened upon witnessing it.
Jiang Shen was a Shadow Mage too, but it was his first time seeing anything like Mo Fan's move.
”Watch out!” Cao Qinqin yelled.
Mo Fan was behind the ship, where most Viscera Hunters were. These creatures preferred to use sneak attacks on their targets. They were now aware of Mo Fan's outstanding strength, so ten of them decided to pounce at him at the same time!
These creatures had been hiding under the ice all along. Each of them was in close proximity from Mo Fan when they showed up. Even an Advanced Mage would die instantly under the circumstances!
”Idiots!” Mo Fan grunted.
The Dark Material spread wildly. Mo Fan instantly consumed ten Commander-level Soul Remnants.
The Viscera Hunters did not realize that the surrounding ice and water had been replaced by a black swamp the moment they broke through the ice. The swamp extended a few hundred meters...
Ten shadows resembling the Viscera Hunters sprang out from the swamp. Their actions were perfectly in synch, attacking under Mo Fan's control. The Viscera Hunters in the air suddenly stiffened, before blood started jetting out from their necks!
The Viscera Hunters posed a great threat to Mo Fan only a second ago, but they all died horrible deaths in the blink of an eye. It only took the Rebelling Shadows a brief moment to eliminate their targets; not one of the Viscera Hunters managed to survive!
