Chapter 1376: The Iceberg Witch

The Annihilation faction also boasted many powerful individuals skilled in water manipulation. Soon, a series of water-based spells were unleashed, and these experts stood at the ship’s edge, attempting to control the sea.

But the next second, a surging wave swept them off the deck and into the sea.

Their faces showed terror as they tried to return to the ship.

Logically, they were all adept at water magic, and in the water should have been like home.

But at this moment, their faces showed no sign of relaxation, only panic and terror, as if some terrifying being in the water was pulling at their legs.

In the blink of an eye, the group was swept into the sea, not a single bubble rising again.

Seeing this, everyone in the Annihilation faction was dumbfounded.

At the same time, a chill ran down their spines; the mysterious being’s ability to manipulate water far surpassed their own.

They couldn’t understand how the Zheng family, even if they were skilled in naval warfare, could so easily overwhelm the experts of their Annihilation faction.

Wang Xuanjin, upon hearing the news, rushed to the bridge to oversee the battle. As the son of Wulu Zhixian, he was neither weak nor lacking in courage.

He calmly commanded his troops. Seeing the emperor, the soldiers’ morale soared, their earlier panic vanished, and they quickly reformed, resisting the Zheng family’s navy. They soon inflicted considerable casualties on the Zheng family, as the Annihilation faction now held a decisive advantage.

The Zheng family’s navy fled in disarray. Seeing this, many Annihilation soldiers raised their arms and cheered, praising Wang Xuanjin’s bravery.

A faint smile appeared on Wang Xuanjin’s face. This battle would greatly enhance his prestige within the army, and he had forged a bond of brotherhood with his soldiers, allowing him to promote trusted confidants and counter those powerful ministers.

Namusan’e, the commander of the Plain Yellow Banner, who had been protecting Wang Xuanjin, suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked with some doubt, “Why is that mountain over there so high?”

Wang Xuanjin turned and saw a tall mountain to the east, seemingly reaching into the clouds and connecting with the sky.

“Shouldn’t that be the sea? Why are there mountains?” he asked, puzzled. He was new to the area and had assumed there were some sacred mountains in the sea.

Namusang’e’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately roared, “That’s not a mountain, it’s a tsunami!”

Hearing his roar, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, finally understanding why the tide had receded—all the seawater had gone there!

Some powerful warriors rushed out from the Silent Extinction camp. With their strength, they could even deflect a tsunami that blotted out the sky.

They unleashed ice magic, and various terrifying storm tornadoes swept towards the massive wave from all directions, even causing a blizzard to begin falling from the sky.

The snowflakes landed on the soldiers, and those with lower cultivation levels visibly froze into ice sculptures.

However, no one seemed to care. On the contrary, the rest were delighted, because the greater the power of these blizzards, the more likely they were to freeze the towering wave.

Otherwise, if that sky-covering wave struck, everyone present would likely be wiped out.

As expected, as countless terrifying tornadoes surged towards the massive tsunami, the sky-covering sea began to freeze.

The sound of ice crystals crystallizing filled the air—the sound of water freezing.

Before they knew it, the entire ocean was frozen solid, the terrifying tsunami halted between heaven and earth, like a colossal ice wall, unable to advance even an inch.

All the ice-type ability users in the Annihilation camp collapsed to the ground, having exhausted all their strength to freeze the towering waves.

They were secretly amazed; the mysterious, unseen water manipulator’s control over the sea far exceeded their imagination, to the point that they had to exert all their strength to barely suppress it.

Seeing this, the Annihilation soldiers cheered. Ice magic indeed countered water magic.

How could the natives of this world possibly contend with the power of Annihilation?

Suddenly, someone noticed a woman in a blue dress with flowing hair standing on the waves. Seeing her graceful figure and stunning beauty, many Annihilation soldiers from the capital even whistled.

This woman is truly beautiful. If only I could capture her and play with her for a night, the pleasure would be unimaginable.

As members of the Annihilation Faction, they have destroyed countless worlds; burning, killing, and looting are their basic operations, and hearing the cries of the conquered’s wives and daughters is the most pleasurable music to their quests.

Many generals couldn’t contain themselves any longer and leaped into the air, rushing towards the woman, afraid someone else would beat them to it.

Only some local soldiers from Jiangnan paled, muttering, “Ice…Ice Queen!”

Fighting the Zheng family’s navy, countless people had died under this woman’s icy power; that fear was etched into their bones.

This woman’s ice abilities were already terrifying enough, but now that the world was filled with ice, the towering ice waves beneath her feet…

Many local soldiers instinctively turned and fled. The blue-clad woman atop the ice waves was none other than Chu Chuyan.

Looking down at the scene below, she sighed inwardly. Everything was unfolding exactly as Azu had predicted. First, she used her power to control the sea, plunging the Annihilation Faction into panic and causing their ice-elemental experts to create this terrifying frozen world.

And now, this was her domain.

With a light tap of her toe on the ground, the giant, frozen waves began to shatter, transforming into endless ice shards that shot towards the Annihilation Faction.

Normally, she alone couldn’t unleash such terrifying power, but the help of the Annihilation Faction’s ice-elemental experts was undeniable.

It was as if all the ice-elemental experts of the Annihilation Faction had joined her in releasing this world-destroying forbidden technique.

Wang Xuanjin was terrified and hurriedly called upon her ice-elemental experts to control the incoming ice shards. Unfortunately, all the ice-elemental experts had just been drained of their strength and had no power left.

Those few who still had the strength to fight were unable to control the endless stream of ice shards.

They were denser than raindrops, like a blizzard, leaving no stone unturned.

Almost instantly, countless icicles rained down on the Annihilation camp, accompanied by screams that quickly ceased.

Those struck by the icicles were frozen solid before their blood mist could even fully dissipate, their bodies visibly turning into ice sculptures.

The remaining Annihilation warriors fought to protect themselves while simultaneously trying to safeguard Wang Xuanjin, but the icicles were simply too terrifying. Chaos soon descended upon the entire battlefield, and Wang Xuanjin’s whereabouts became impossible to pinpoint.

The Battle of Xiamen saw the Annihilation’s 100,000 elite troops annihilated—an unprecedented defeat in recent years, shaking the entire realm.

Rumors even circulated that Wang Xuanjin, who had personally led the campaign, had been killed in the chaos.

The entire Jiangnan officialdom was gripped by fear; the consequences of the emperor’s death on their territory were unimaginable.

Therefore, they all dispatched their forces to search for Wang Xuanjin’s whereabouts.

Just when they were in despair, Wang Xuanjin finally returned, though he was seriously injured, at least he was still alive!
