Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 244 Nan Rong Ni, the Daughter of the Void, Nan Rong Ni VS Mu Ning Xue

This was the first time Qin Xiaonan had heard such a threat since she came into this world.

In his eyes, this Pansy had already been sentenced to death.

However, Mu Ningxue beside him had already managed to calm down from her initial agitation.

She took a deep breath, turned her head, and gave Qin Xiaonan a very brief but pure and refreshing smile, like a snow lotus.

"I'll handle my own affairs," she said, her voice carrying an undeniable firmness.

Her icy blue eyes stared directly at Qin Xiaonan. "If it really causes trouble... I will ask for your help."

Having walked alongside the National Government all the way, Mu Ningxue is no longer the helpless girl who could only bear everything alone.

She had personally witnessed the terrifying strength that Lan Xi possessed beneath her seemingly innocent and cute appearance, strength that was enough to crush ordinary super-level mages!
Although she did not know Qin Xiaonan's true strength and identity, the other party did not seem to take the Mu family seriously.

Moreover, Lan Xi regards her as a sister, and Qin Xiaonan has lent a helping hand many times when she needed it most, whether it was the precious Star River Vein or the silent support at this moment.

Mu Ningxue was no longer alone.

She accepted this kindness and this "investment," and would no longer bear all the humiliation and burdens on her own shoulders as she had in the past.

She won't be foolish enough to put on a brave face.

If Pan Xi and the Mu family behind her really cross her bottom line and use forces she cannot resist... she will not hesitate to ask Qin Xiaonan for help!

Qin Xiaonan looked at Mu Ningxue and nodded slightly, uttering only one word: "Okay."

This is a sign of respect for her, and also a silent promise.

He stepped back half a step, handing the stage over entirely to Mu Ningxue.

However, this brief, tacit exchange was interrupted by a sarcastic and bitter remark.

"Oh, what a loving couple, so deeply in love!" Nan Rongni's affected, coquettish voice came from the alley entrance.

She walked out slowly, accompanied by two middle-aged men with calm demeanor and sharp eyes, clearly experts sent by the Nanrong family.

Nan Rongni's gaze was like a poisoned silver needle, sweeping back and forth between Qin Xiaonan and Mu Ningxue, filled with jealousy and resentment.

When Pan Xi saw Nan Rongni appear, her face once again displayed that all-controlling smile.

He addressed Mu Ningxue in a condescending tone, "Mu Ningxue, now that the main character has arrived, let's get straight to the point. The Mu family has already promised to remove the 'Ice Crystal Bow' from your body and give it to Miss Nanrong Ni."

"This is the family's will. Those who know what's good for them will cooperate and separate themselves to avoid damaging the harmony."

"Heh." Mu Ningxue let out a cold sneer, "To plunder my cultivation foundation and make it sound so natural, so sanctimonious... This shameless face is truly the 'spirit' of the Mu family!"

"Mu Ningxue! Stop spouting nonsense!" Nan Rongni, embarrassed by having her intentions exposed in public, cried out in a shrill voice.

A flash of resentment crossed her eyes, then, as if she had thought of something, a twisted, triumphant smile suddenly appeared on her face: "I know you're not convinced, so how about... we have a match right here?"

She stepped forward, staring defiantly at Mu Ningxue: "One-on-one! A fair duel! If I win, you'll obediently cooperate and hand over the Ice Crystal Bow."

This suggestion surprised Mu Ningxue.

Nan Rongni? Majoring in healing, she has always played a support role in the National Team and has never shown strong direct combat ability.

Where does she get the confidence to challenge herself?
Mu Ningxue frowned slightly as she scrutinized Nan Rongni.

The undisguised confidence and a hint of eerie excitement on the other person's face set off alarm bells in her heart. "What? Scared?" Seeing Mu Ningxue's silence, Nan Rongni became even more smug, raising her voice and filling it with sarcastic provocation, "Today I'll show you my strength."

Before he finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in Nan Rongni's eyes, signaling an undeclared war!

"Ghost Vine!" she cried out.

In an instant, several dark green, highly poisonous vines covered with barbs suddenly sprang out from the cracks in the stone slab beneath Mu Ningxue's feet!

It frantically wrapped around Mu Ningxue's legs and waist, intending to bind and strangle her instantly!

This was her usual plant-based magic, quite powerful, but against Mu Ningxue…

Mu Ningxue's eyes turned cold, and she didn't even move an inch.

A chilling aura instantly emanated from her body!

"Ice vines cover!"

Silently, a visible icy blue cold wave spread out from her center in an instant!
Those menacing, highly poisonous vines froze instantly upon contact with the cold wave!

The biting frost spread up the vines at an astonishing speed, freezing them completely into lifelike ice sculptures in the blink of an eye!
With a slight thought from Mu Ningxue—

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

All the ice-sculpted vines were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and then burst into countless tiny ice crystals, which shimmered with a cold light under the moonlight and fell down in a flurry!
Nan Rongni's sudden plant-based attack was effortlessly neutralized by Mu Ningxue.

However, Nan Rongni showed no sign of frustration at missing his target; instead, he revealed an even more eerie and excited smile.

That smile was twisted, carrying a kind of inhuman madness.

"Don't rush... the show... has only just begun!" Nan Rongni's voice became a little hoarse.

She suddenly opened her arms wide and leaned back slightly!
Om-!
A chilling and eerie energy surge suddenly erupted from her body, causing extreme discomfort!

Her pupils were instantly filled with a deep, dark purple!

Beneath her exposed, fair skin, faint, writhing dark purple lines of the same color appeared!

"Void...turbulence!"

Nan Rongni let out a low growl that sounded inhuman, and suddenly ripped forward with both hands!
Tsk-!
Then, purple energy fluctuations appeared in the space in front of Mu Ningxue.

The violent force instantly acted on Mu Ningxue!
The protective aura around her was violently eroded and disintegrated by this power!
Mu Ningxue's expression changed slightly! She had never experienced such a bizarre attack before!
This was definitely not due to Nan Rongni's own power!

Without hesitation, she channeled all her magical power to resist!

"Ice Lock - Entangling!"

Several thick, diamond-like chains of ice instantly condensed and coiled around her, forming a solid ice fortress that fiercely resisted the terrifying suction force of the void!

The ice lock collided violently with the invisible tearing force of space, producing a piercing friction sound! Ice shards flew wildly!

Pulled by an immense force, Mu Ningxue's body slowly and uncontrollably slid towards the purple cracked space!

The stone slabs underfoot have been worn into deep grooves!
This strange power was completely beyond her understanding of Nan Rongni!
