Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 245 How Can You Be So Useless, The Bewitching Void Worm
Nan Rongni's use of the Void Worm's power to tear through space was indeed domineering and bizarre, far exceeding the scope of ordinary high-level mages.

The constantly twisting and surging void currents were like a gaping maw of abyss hanging above Mu Ningxue's head.

"Did you see that?! Mu Ningxue! This is my power!"

"What's the use of your hard work in cultivation? Without the support of resources, you will always be at a disadvantage on your future cultivation path."

With each burst of void power from Nan Rongni, her life force assimilated with the dark purple energy, and her mental fluctuations became even more chaotic and violent.

However, Mu Ningxue's power was far from that.

Just as the ice lock was about to be torn apart, Mu Ningxue suddenly looked up!

"Ice Realm - Open!"

Om-!
Centered on Mu Ningxue, the space was instantly dyed with a pure, seemingly timeless ice-blue color! Water vapor instantly condensed into tiny ice crystals that floated in the air.

After breaking through to the advanced level, Mu Ningxue's already extraordinary ice-type spirit seed, under the catalysis of the Star River Vein and her own relentless hard work, had already completed a qualitative leap and successfully advanced to a soul seed.

Within this domain, I rule the world!
The previously rampant spatial turbulence suddenly halted its expansion and distortion within the "Ice Realm"!
Nan Rongni also felt the power of this extreme cold!

"Ugh!" She couldn't help but shiver.

An irresistible, soul-deep chill instantly enveloped her entire body.

The dark purple patterns on her body seemed to dim, and her ability to circulate the power of the void became extremely sluggish. Her speed of movement, reaction ability, and magical energy flow all suddenly decreased under the suppression of the domain!
In contrast, Mu Ningxue, with the support of her own domain, was like an ice goddess descending to earth!

With a slight thought, she didn't need to construct a lengthy star map—

"Ice Lock - A Thousand-Foot Cliff!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Dozens of ice chains, thicker than before, instantly solidified!

The overwhelming force swept towards Nan Rongni, who was under the suppression of the domain, and began to annihilate her!

Nan Rongni's expression changed drastically!
puff!puff!
Despite her best efforts to dodge, she was still grazed by several sharp ice chains!

With the help of the Soul Seed Domain, Mu Ningxue turned the tables and seized the initiative on the battlefield!

"Useless! How can you be so useless?!" A cold, bloodthirsty, violent, and impatient thought pierced Nan Rongni's painful and chaotic mental world!

Those were the Void Worms that coexisted with her!

It sensed the host's predicament, and even more so, the suppression of its void power by the extreme icy domain!

This made it incredibly irritable!
In its chaotic and primitive understanding, battle should be about crushing and devouring, not about being suppressed by this weak ice mage!
"Give me your body... completely!" a seductive voice rang out.

"Release your mind and let me take control! I'll tear her apart! I'll chew up her frozen soul bit by bit! I'll teach her the consequences of offending the void!"

The intense pain and the allure of the Void Worm caused Nan Rongni's mind to waver violently.

Surrender your body?

Her remaining sanity terrified her.

But looking into Mu Ningxue's cold and ruthless eyes, a strong sense of resentment burned in her heart like poisonous fire.

She was caught in a deep contradiction and struggle, and her attacks and defenses became more chaotic and full of flaws.

The battle reached a brief stalemate.

Pan Xi, watching from the sidelines, had a face so dark it was almost dripping with gloom. He felt that Nan Rongni was utterly incompetent and more likely to cause trouble than anything else. If it weren't for the family's orders, he wouldn't have been willing to hand over the Ice Crystal Bow he had cultivated to this person.

However, this is Venice after all.

Although the Nanrong family and the Mu family used their relationship to temporarily "appease" the city's guardian mage team and buy some time for a "private settlement," the commotion and duration of the conflict were too great and would inevitably lead to unnecessary trouble sooner or later!

No more delay!
A ruthless and decisive glint flashed in Pansy's eyes.

He has to step in and break this deadlock!

He quietly took a step forward, drawing upon the primordial aura of the Ice Crystal Bow, which was deeply buried within Mu Ningxue's bloodline and soul!
Om-!
Mu Ningxue, who was using all her strength to control her domain and suppress Nan Rongni, suddenly trembled!
Her ice-type magical energy instantly became violent and chaotic, and was greatly affected.

"Ugh!" Mu Ningxue groaned, and the ice lock she had condensed became illusory and unstable, bringing her attack to an abrupt halt!

This sudden change gave Nan Rongni a glimmer of hope!

"An opportunity!" Nan Rongni was overjoyed, his eyes flashing with a fierce light!

Ignoring the allure of the Void Worm in her spiritual world, she gathered a ball of violently churning dark purple energy in her hands, and with a shrill whistling sound that tore through space, she was about to blast it fiercely towards Mu Ningxue, who was staggering and breathing erratically!
however--

Nan Rongni was horrified to discover that the surging void power within his body had vanished in an instant!

They disappeared completely without warning!
The dark purple energy that supported her, gave her strange power, and even subtly eroded her will seemed to have never existed!
With a soft "poof," it turned into wisps of purple smoke and dissipated into the cold air!

The powerful force was instantly withdrawn, causing a huge backlash. Her vision went black, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood before her body went limp and fell backward.

Just as Pan Xi intervened in Mu Ningxue's battle, Qin Xiaonan also made her move.

After sensing the Void Queen's primordial power within Qin Xiaonan's body, the Void Worm immediately obeyed her command, fell silent, and ceased sharing its power with Nan Rongni.

Qin Xiaonan's will is like an inviolable law of heaven to the void creatures!

However, Nan Rongni's downfall did not end the crisis!

Panxi suddenly waved her hand and shouted at the Mu family mage behind her, "Attack! Take her down! Remove the Ice Bow!"

In the original novel, Mu Ningxue solved the immediate problem by forcibly activating the power of the Ice Crystal Bow, at the cost of damaging her soul.

Qin Xiaonan was present today, and he decisively stood in front of her, blocking the others.

Pansy's face turned ashen, her eyes blazing with fury!

"Qin Xiaonan! You...you really want to completely antagonize the Mu family for the sake of this abandoned daughter of the family?! Think carefully about the consequences!"

"Ah……"

Just then, a clear and melodious girl's laughter, yet filled with undisguised contempt and mockery, pierced the heavy night sky.

It traveled from afar, gradually approaching, and clearly reached the ears of everyone present!

"The insignificant Mu family dares to talk back to my brother?"

Accompanied by these resounding and arrogant words, a petite figure landed lightly not far from Qin Xiaonan's side, as if by teleportation.

Under the moonlight, Lan Xi's delicate and lovely face was adorned with a cold smile that was completely out of character for her age, a smile that looked down on everything.

His clear, large eyes swept over Pansy and the others as if they were a group of ignorant ants!
