Chapter 141: The Young Woman in the Ice

Recommendation: Awakening of the Shaman Doctor.

Flames seemed to be fluttering at the bottom of the lake...
Something was wrong.
Mu You stared closely. Those were no underwater flames; they were clearly... ice.
A mirror-like sheet of ice.
How could this be possible! With the water vapor evaporating so intensely here, alongside so many living creatures, an icy lake could never produce such a miraculous spectacle.
Mu You stepped forward cautiously, summoning a flame in the palm of his hand and pressing it against the ice surface.
The sound of melting ice and water he had imagined did not ring out. The cold was terrifying; even through the barrier of the flame, Mu You could still feel a bone-chilling frost.
What on earth kind of ice is this?
Looking out across the area, right in the center where the half-salamander, half-human creatures had surrounded moments before, an iceberg had risen flat from the ground. Upon it, intertwined ice flowers surged and rolling ice waves escalated, within which something seemed vaguely frozen.

Whoosh~~~
Amidst the howling of thunder and fire, crimson-gold and azure brilliance blossomed. In the distance, the sounds of companions fighting and monsters roaring could faintly be heard. There was no time to delay!
The thunder and fire grew intensely loud, and dual-colored wings abruptly unfurled from both of Mu You's shoulders as he shot toward the center of the frozen lake.
The cold wind whistled past his ears. Mu You hovered in mid-air, coldly gazing down at the entity sealed within the ice sculpture—
It was a woman of rare, devastating beauty. Her raven-black, lustrous hair was frozen inside glistening, sparkling ice prisms. Her pearlescent, jade-carved facial features were adorned with cherry-snow-water lips, and a pair of water-tinted, fragrant shoulders radiated a soft, ethereal luster.
The young matron’s moth-brow was relaxed, and she slept silently and peacefully. Inside the transparent, hard ice, she looked like a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, shifting into different scenes under the illumination of Mu You's dual-colored wings.
She was beautiful—such a breathtaking woman, virtually on par with An Ruoxiang.
If she were in the outside world, a woman like this could definitely become a celebrity-like figure pursued by all.

Amidst Mu You's quiet sigh, his gaze gradually shifted downward. Suddenly, a jolt of terrifying chill surged outward. He rapidly retreated, flashing high up into the sky.
Because he saw that the young matron's lower body was actually connected to a salamander-like monster. It was cut from the same cloth as the previous half-human, half-salamander creatures, only much larger and far sharper. Its jet-black surface emanated a bone-chilling frost, densely covered in frigid scales that stood on end, their sharpness chilling to the bone. A body full of destructive and explosive power was locked tightly within the frost, as if in the very next second it would break free and utterly destroy everything before it!
Was this thing human or demon?!
Mu You swallowed hard. The rustling sounds surged from all around once again, as countless monsters gradually crawled out from crevices on all sides, refilling the cleared space from before.
Damn it, listening to the increasingly urgent shouts of his companions in the distance, Mu You's eyes flashed with cold light as anxiety overtook him.
These endless bastard creatures!!
Wipe them out first before anything else!
Mu You smashed his fists together, and an endless torrent of blazing fire roared from within his body toward all directions, instantly filling the entire sky. With the Crimson Flame Azure Firmament Heart, Mu You looked down upon the endlessly roaring monsters as ruthlessly and resolutely as a descending deity.
"Heaven-Incinerating Falling Fire!!!"
This was the newly awakened power within his body after absorbing the essence of Mantsushahua, a completely Grade-A power!
This was a qualitative leap in grade. Back when he faced the dangerous death row inmates, Mu You had been able to match Grade-A instructors, and even frequently clashed with Grade-S death row inmates under the blessing of Holy Words. Now that he had stepped into Grade-A himself, it was like adding wings to a tiger. Both in terms of control and power, he had undergone a qualitative transformation!
Grade-A, the level required to use Holy Words!!!!
Having witnessed Xuan Yao, An Ruoxiang, and others use Holy Words, what Mu You had dreamed of most was to test just how terrifying his own Holy Words had become!
Today, these beasts would serve as his proving ground!
Patchwork phoenix-feather-like rain of fire fell from the sky, as soft as feathered gauze. Yet upon contacting the monsters, it burned straight through them, and the tyrannical heat even forced the surrounding tissue to its ignition point, instantly turning them into balls of fire.
"Hiss hiss!!!"
Endless screams of agonizing pain echoed ceaselessly. Within the fiery firmament of the sky, Mu You occasionally shot out azure thunderbolts, forcing the distant monsters into the attack range of the Heaven-Incinerating Falling Fire.
Mu You sensed that as the monsters died, the flowing blood began to spread across the entire lake surface. This blood seemed to be guided by a summons as it continuously converged into the statue at the center of the lake.

Crack~~
A slight fracturing sound rang out, negligible amidst the sky-filling screams, yet it was still intercepted by Mu You's vigilance.
It seemed the monsters' blood could melt the ice layer—no time to lose!
Mu You wasn't going to wait until the monster completely unsealed itself to engage it. Heaven knew what grade it might be; hit it while it's down!
"Mystic Thunder Ghost Weep!!"
Mu You raised both hands toward the heavens. The radiance of thunder and fire surged out in a contention of splendor. The heaven-incinerating firmament began to condense above the statue, transforming into a blood-colored sky where thunder raged turbulently. The two ultimate destructive forces of thunder and fire began to burst forth and fuse at this moment, intensifying further until they finally poured down like a doomsday divine punishment. For a time, violent winds roared and ghosts wept!
"Perish!!"
Mu You brought his hands together and smashed them down fiercely. At the exact same moment, the distant heavenly punishment slammed onto the ice sculpture with the momentum of a collapsing heaven!
The heavens and the earth trembled as if facing annihilation.
"Huh?!"
The explosion he expected did not ring out. Instead, a creaking, adhesive sound on the verge of bursting echoed through the air.
What was going on? Mu You was startled.
He saw that the Heaven-Incinerating Falling Fire and Mystic Thunder Ghost Weep paused for a moment before disintegrating at an astonishing rate!
By this time, the stunning beauty had already opened her eyes. A breath of grievance, resentment, and madness was unmistakably revealed from her water-blue pupils. One of her lotus-root-like arms had already extended out of the ice, halting that world-shaking blow with just a single hand.
"Kill, kill everyone related to Mohan! Kill, kill you all, exterminate you all—I will wipe out every generation of those connected to him!"
