Qiao'er watched Su Xi and the others in front of her, their movements stirring up splashes in the water.
As the water splashed before them, countless icy chills began to rise from it, making everyone shiver instantly.
They had never imagined that a place like this could be so cold.
Who was this mermaid before them, and why was she so powerful that she could even extinguish the Earth's Core Fire?
"Who are you?" Su Xi asked, preparing to have a proper conversation with the mermaid.
Since the other party wasn't making any aggressive moves, she clearly wasn't a malicious person.
If that was the case, then she felt there was room for negotiation.
Hearing Su Xi's question, the mermaid flicked her tail and let out a light laugh, "What are you doing this for?"
"Huh?"
Su Xi's forehead creased with countless black lines upon hearing the mermaid's words.
Was this mermaid, due to being of a different species, unable to understand what they were saying?
Her question hadn't meant that at all.
Seeing Su Xi's lack of reaction, the mermaid's smile widened.
She enjoyed Su Xi's reaction; it was silly and very cute.
Su Xi looked at the mermaid smiling foolishly in front of her, and more question marks appeared on her forehead.
Was this mermaid foolish, only knowing how to smile foolishly and not speak?
"What do you want by blocking our way?" Su Xi asked again, seeing the mermaid's non-response.
Hearing Su Xi's question, the mermaid wiped the water droplets from her face and looked at her, saying, "I've already told you, I'm here to eat all of you. After all, it's been a long time since I last ate human flesh, and I don't want to give up."
?
Su Xi's face was filled with disbelief upon hearing the mermaid's nonchalant, terrifying statement.
Did this person have a problem to be acting like this?
"You're alone, yet you speak such arrogant words." Su Xi looked at the mermaid, not quite believing her.
The current situation seemed unrealistic; how could this be possible, and so shamelessly?
Su Xi felt that although the mermaid was very powerful, she couldn't possibly defeat so many people. If they all attacked together, even a mermaid would be overwhelmed.
Seeing Su Xi's disbelief, the mermaid didn't argue.
Perhaps for her, the most important thing wasn't to argue with others, but to let actions speak for themselves.
So she looked at Su Xi and said lightly, without much preamble, "If you don't believe me, then let's try."
With that, the mermaid gently swished her tail.
As her tail moved, countless splashes of water flew out.
As the water splashed out, it instantly transformed into countless ice shards.
Each of these ice shards was exceptionally sharp and carried an endless chill.
The appearance of these chilling currents instantly dropped the surrounding temperature by several hundred degrees.
At such a frigid temperature, everything was instantly covered in frost.
The group initially wanted to dodge the ice shards.
However, due to the drop in temperature around them, they could only dodge helplessly.
These evasive maneuvers were ineffective, merely serving to watch the ice shards approach.
Their movements had been slowed, making it difficult to react to the approaching ice shards.
Seeing the countless ice shards hurtling towards them, Su Xi was greatly alarmed.
At this moment, the most crucial thing for her was to quickly block the ice shards.
"Clang, clang, clang."
Su Xi's Meteor God Sword moved rapidly, shattering the ice shards before her.
The others also drew their weapons, blocking the ice shards.
Huh?
After blocking the ice shards, Su Xi showed no signs of complacency. Instead, her face was filled with inexplicable confusion.
Why didn't the ice shards disappear as expected?
She had initially thought these ice shards would be incredibly hard, and they would be struck by them.
But to her surprise, these ice shards were only cold and showed no other effects.
Just as Su Xi was wondering if her guess was wrong, she noticed that the people around her had all changed. Their faces had turned pale, and frost had appeared on their brows.
What was happening?
Although Su Xi hadn't observed herself, she knew she must be in the same condition.
Seeing that everyone had been marked by her, the mermaid wore a joyful smile.
"You wouldn't have died just now, but now you're all doomed." The mermaid looked at Wu Miaomiao, her face filled with indescribable happiness.
For her, her actions had become effortless.
She hadn't just created an icy world; she had unleashed a type of cold poison.
These people shattering the ice shards meant they had contracted the cold poison. This poison would not only make them wish they were dead but also make them incredibly obedient.
Then, whatever she wanted to do would be easy.
Looking at the still bewildered group before her, the mermaid said nonchalantly, "It's so tiring now, lie down and rest, and I'll dance for you."
?
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, they instantly felt their bodies were no longer under their control, and they began to lie down obediently.
Su Xi tried her best to break free from the restraints, but it was useless.
After struggling for a while, she couldn't help but lie down on the ground.
As she lay down, an icy chill pierced through her.
Cold.
At that moment, Su Xi's mind was filled with a single thought, and goosebumps erupted all over her body.
Her reason told her to stand up, but she was completely powerless, unable to do anything but let the cold air envelop her.
"Lalala~"
At this moment, the mermaid began to dance in the water.
She twisted her body, moving up and down in the water from time to time.
She was like a fairy, and from her mouth, she chanted a melodious tune.
As the music played, Su Xi felt her body become even stiffer, and countless tiny, dancing sprites appeared before her eyes.
The appearance of these sprites immediately put Su Xi on high alert.
Legend had it that seeing sprites meant one was about to be put in a coffin.
Now that she had seen sprites, would she be put in a coffin?
Just as Su Xi was contemplating and weighing the possibilities, she suddenly saw countless dense ghosts appear before her.
These ghosts, with bared teeth and claws, rushed towards her with gaping maws.
What was happening?
Seeing the ghosts charging at her, Su Xi instinctively tried to dodge.
As she made this move, she suddenly realized she couldn't move at all. Just as she thought she was doomed, she suddenly felt her body could move.
Huh?
Although she didn't know why she could move, Su Xi didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Her body moved sharply, instantly dodging the ghosts' attack.
However, even though she had temporarily evaded the ghosts' attack, these ghosts seemed unwilling to let her go and started to charge again.
With the reappearance of these ghosts, Su Xi understood that avoidance was not the solution.
So she chose to attack decisively, preparing to deal with the ghosts before her.
"Azure Lotus Sword Array!"
With a fierce shout from Su Xi, the Meteor God Sword in her hand flew out, constantly transforming, and then slashed towards the ghosts before her.
With these powerful slashes, the entire sword array exuded an awe-inspiring aura, like a descending deity, unstoppable.
But these ghosts were not to be trifled with either; their attacks were surprisingly potent.
"What the heck, how did these ghosts become so powerful?" Su Xi was filled with countless questions upon seeing this scene.
What was this all about?
However, despite her confusion about what was happening, Su Xi's attacks did not stop.
Countless flying swords buzzed in the sky, then slashed towards the ghosts before them. With their formidable skills, they unleashed intense power.
Under constant collision, violent fluctuations began to occur.
Accompanying this intense fluctuation, a gleam of light seemed to appear before Su Xi's eyes.
Although this light was faint, it was like sunlight on a cloudy day, instantly catching the eye.
Within this sudden beam of light, Su Xi suddenly felt as if she had grasped something.
Then, this feeling rapidly magnified, and in a short time, it instantly restored her senses.
When she looked again, she found that there were no ghosts before her.
Instead, there were only her teammates.
The one who had been fighting was Lin Qing.
Seeing Lin Qing's figure, Su Xi immediately stopped her attack, "Master, what are you doing?"
Su Xi did not want to accidentally harm a teammate, so she wanted to awaken Lin Qing.
But now Lin Qing seemed to have completely lost his senses and couldn't hear Su Xi's words.
Instead, when Su Xi stopped attacking, he launched an attack, intending to kill Su Xi.
In his eyes, there was no Su Xi, but countless venomous insects.
These densely packed venomous insects were constantly eroding his safety, making it impossible for him to cope.
Seeing this, Su Xi could only fix her gaze on the mermaid before her.
All of this had been caused by her.
If she could just resolve this culprit, would everything be fine?
The mermaid noticed Su Xi's gaze and smiled faintly. Did she think it was too ridiculous to confront her?
Although Su Xi's quick recovery had surprised her, since she had already cast her spell, it was not easy to undo.
Su Xi should just wait for death.
