The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Bai Liuxi stood at the edge of the battlefield, the frost on her arms had not completely faded, and her fingers were still immobile, but her face was expressionless.

She watched Su Mu's retreating figure, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly... not with a smile, but with a more subtle kind of approval, as if saying "that's right."

She knew Su Mu's strength. She knew from the battle in the Dark Zone that Su Mu was the strongest survivor she had ever seen who came down from the cable car, without exception.

She asked Su Mu to make a move not because she couldn't defeat the Ice Witch, but because she wanted everyone to see what a true powerhouse was.

The Ice Witch glided across the ice, twice as fast as before, but Su Mu was faster than her.

Her ice crystals couldn't hit him, her ice spikes couldn't pierce him, and her icy shield was as flimsy as paper in front of him.

Her staff was covered in scratches, her robes were torn in many places, and her shoulders, chest, and arms were covered in wounds from spear tips.

Her breathing was rapid and erratic, her heartbeat was fast and erratic, her strength was being rapidly depleted, and her recovery rate could not keep up.

Su Mu's spear arrived again.

The spear tip pierced her throat, and the Ice Witch's body slid sharply across the ice, the spear tip grazing an inch above her Adam's apple.

The thin, hair-like bloodstain on her throat deepened a little.

Her eyes widened slightly, not out of fear, but with a more primal, instinctive reaction, like that of a wild animal encountering its predator.

She drew a circle in the air with her finger, and the ice crystals condensed into a huge ice shield in front of her, twice as thick as before.

Su Mu's spear tip pierced the ice shield, shattering it and sending ice shards flying. Su Mu's figure passed through the ice shards, and his spear thrust out again.

The spear tip pierced the Ice Witch's shoulder.

It didn't pierce through, it just hit.

The moment the spear tip touched her shoulder, a thin layer of ice appeared on her skin, blocking the spear tip. The spear tip pierced the ice half an inch and stopped.

The Ice Witch's shoulder was bleeding, and icy blue blood seeped from the wound, flowing down her arm.

She raised her staff, ice spikes condensing at her fingertips, and shot them toward Su Mu.

Su Mu did not dodge. The ice spikes hit him and shattered, but his body did not even sway.

His parrying talent activated within him, and that invisible shield blocked all the damage from the ice spikes.

The Ice Witch's eyes widened even more. Her ice spikes could pierce through the metal of an armored vehicle, but this human didn't even flinch, enduring the blows head-on.

Su Mu's spear arrived again.

The spear tip pierced her chest. The Ice Witch's body slid across the ice, the spear tip grazing her chest, tearing a gash in her robes and leaving a shallow bloodstain on her chest.

Her body spun half a circle on the ice, her staff drew a circle in the air, and ice crystals condensed into ice under Su Mu's feet, trying to freeze him in place.

Su Mu's feet touched the ice, which cracked, but his speed was not affected in any way.

The Ice Witch is on the run, and Su Mu is in pursuit.

It was not a battle of equal strength, but a one-sided pursuit.

The people around were completely speechless.

Those who had been mocking Su Mu were now like chickens with their necks choked, mouths agape, unable to utter a sound.

Some people started to back away, not to run away, but unconsciously, as if they were afraid that Su Mu's spear tip would pierce them at any moment.

Some people started looking down at their equipment, pretending they were busy, pretending they hadn't participated in the mockery.

Some people began to pray silently in their hearts... hoping that Su Mu hadn't remembered their faces, hoping that Su Mu didn't know their names, hoping that Su Mu would be magnanimous and not stoop to their level.

.......

The Ice Witch's body slid across the ice, her speed had slowed down.

It wasn't that she was tired; it was that her physical strength was being rapidly depleted, and her recovery rate couldn't keep up with the rate of depletion.

The wound on her shoulder from Su Mu's stab was still bleeding, the cut on her chest from Su Mu was still oozing blood, her robes were covered in holes, and her staff was covered in scratches.

Her breathing was rapid and disordered, her heart was pounding wildly, and Su Mu's reflection was mirrored in her blue vertical pupils... a silver-white spear, a cold gaze, and those eyes that glowed faintly in the darkness, devoid of any warmth.

Su Mu's spear arrived again.

Her eyes widened slightly, not out of fear, but with a more primal, instinctive reaction, like that of a wild animal encountering its predator.

Su Mu tapped his finger on the spear, and then his golden blood surged within him... not an explosion, just a surge.

A faint, almost invisible golden halo appeared on his skin, then quickly faded away.

He just wanted the fight to end quickly and didn't want it to drag on any longer.

A faint golden halo appeared on the tip of the spear, like a thin layer of flame.

It was faster, so fast that the Ice Witch's eyes couldn't keep up; it was stronger, so strong that the Ice Witch's ice shield was like paper in front of the spear tip.

The spear tip pierced the Ice Witch's shoulder.

It wasn't just a stab, it pierced through.

The gun tip pierced her shoulder blade and exited through her back. Icy blue blood gushed from the wound, splattering onto Su Mu's gun barrel and his clothes.

The Ice Witch let out a sharp screech, not of anger, but of pain.

Her body slipped on the ice and crashed into a tree, breaking the trunk and smashing the crown to the ground, scattering leaves and twigs everywhere.

The Ice Witch crawled out from under the tree trunk, her body covered in fallen leaves and dirt.

Her robes were torn, her hair was disheveled, and for the first time, despair appeared in her eyes.

She looked at Su Mu, at his eyes that glowed faintly in the darkness, at his silver-white spear stained with her blood, and at the faint, fading golden aura emanating from him.

She knew she couldn't beat this person.

She didn't even know the man's true strength, because he wasn't using his full power at all.

He was just playing around, teasing her, letting her know what the difference was.

The Ice Witch turned and ran into the depths of the dense forest.

The ice spread beneath her feet, and she moved as fast as a bolt of icy blue lightning.

But Su Mu was faster than her.

His body traced a golden arc in the darkness as the spear thrust at her from behind, its tip piercing her other shoulder.

The Ice Witch let out a sharp screech, her body slipping on the ice and crashing into another tree.

She climbed up from under the tree trunk and stopped running.
