Chapter 2425 - Valkyrie (2/2)

Mu Yinfeng did not mind giving Mu Ningxue more room to breathe. She was using other Elements to harass Mu Ningxue and make her feel uncomfortable.

She just had to wait until the Absolute Ward reached the end of its duration!

An Absolute Ward would not last forever, as it cost a huge amount of mental energy. Once a Mage’s mental state was overburdened, even a Super Mage could no longer construct Star Orbits and Star Patterns. What was there to be afraid of?

The only downside was that Mu Yinfeng was out of range to use her Wind Cry. Otherwise, she could make sure Mu Ningxue did not have an edge even with her Absolute Ward!

Mu Ningxue raised her head and looked at Mu Yinfeng, who was flying a great distance away.

She had to admit that the Ice Phoenix was far too powerful.

In the past, Mu Ningxue could abuse her Innate Talent and purposely drag the fight out for a longer time when she was against a powerful enemy. She would gradually grow stronger as the ice continued to spread. Once an area was covered in ice, no one would stand a chance against her.

However, the situation was completely different when she was fighting Mu Yinfeng.

Mu Yinfeng was the one controlling the time. Even Mu Ningxue’s Heaven Seed was weaker than the Ice Phoenix. If Mu Ningxue allowed Mu Yinfeng to keep spreading her ice, she would be the one being frozen instead!

In terms of cultivation, Mu Yinfeng was also stronger than her. Mu Ningxue did not have any edges over Mu Yinfeng!

The Ring of Venice had bought her some time, and she had managed to chase Mu Yinfeng away with the Absolute Ward, but there was still a huge difference between their strength!

“It’s the only option I have,” Mu Ningxue murmured.

Mu Ningxue had not listened to a single word of Mu Yinfeng’s speech. Her mother was not as bad as Mu Yinfeng had described.

Mu Ningxue did hold a grudge against her mother when she was younger. She did not understand why her mother had to put all the grudges she had on her. She had a tough time cultivating, especially with her Innate Talent and the thing inside her body.

However, Mu Ningxue had learned something important after she grew up.

In the environment she grew up in, she would become a slave if she was weak!

Her mother did not want Mu Ningxue to avenge her, nor did she want Mu Ningxue to take back the things she had lost. She was more familiar with the Mu Clan than anyone else. One day, they would come and take everything from her daughter, just like they had to her.

Her mother did not want the same thing to happen to her. She understood the humiliation, the helplessness, the pain, and the despair.

She wanted Mu Ningxue to train hard and inherit the Ice Crystal Bow because she wanted her daughter to be strong; strong enough to make her own decisions, and strong enough to fight back when she was treated unfairly, instead of letting others take advantage of her!

Perhaps her mother had long known that her daughter would be opposing the Mu Clan one day.

Compared to kneeling on the ground and bursting into tears after losing all her pride, the hardship and pain she had gone through until now meant nothing at all!

Mu Ningxue could no longer remember her mother’s face. She only remembered her strict teachings, her anxiety, and her yells.

She had not done all of that because she did not love her daughter. She was willing to become someone her daughter hated, in exchange for her daughter’s freedom and power!

“Ice Crystal Bow!”

Mu Ningxue’s hair drifted in the wind after a loud chime sounded.

The phoenix was a noble creature. Her brilliance when extending her wings and soaring into the sky overshadowed the light of the sun.

As for Mu Ningxue, when she raised the magic bow made of ice crystal, she had completely turned into a valkyrie who dared to challenge the authority of the sacred gods.

She looked as fragile as a willow, but her temperament was magnificent!
