Chapter 2426 - Mu Ningxue's Ice Bow
Translated by XephiZ

Silver powder sprinkled around Mu Ningxue like the particles produced when diamonds were being ground. The particles floated in the air and gathered on Mu Ningxue's fingertips as she wrapped her fingers around the bow.
The crystalline particles spread rapidly across the sky and the mountain. When they were all being absorbed into the bow like a vortex, it made the area around Mu Ningxue as dazzling as the inside of a kaleidoscope.
The sky and the ground were sliced into thousands of stacks and shuffled with the mountain and the falling snow. In the end, countless slices of them were combined and assembled to project a fascinating world of snow.
Mu Yinfeng felt like she was looking into a kaleidoscope when she looked down from the sky. She could see thousands of the same figure holding an icy bow.
There was no place she could run to!
It had all happened because of an arrow constructed from ice crystals.
Mu Ningxue extended her arm, her index and middle fingers holding the arrow nocked until the string formed a full arc.
The white sky and the magnificent mountain fell silent. It felt like the restless world was also holding its breath, together with the woman who was holding the bow and arrow.
The arrow flew out from the bow!
Unlike the perfect silence from before, the peak of the mountain collapsed as soon as the arrow left the bow, but the sound of the arrow was significantly slower than the arrow.
If the sky was a vast gray mirror, it would have been covered in cracks as soon as the arrow was fired.
It felt like the Heavens were about to be destroyed!
Mu Yinfeng was soaring proudly in the sky, but the proud look on her face disappeared when she noticed the annihilating arrow coming at her. It was replaced by the fear of death!
The ice wings on her back shattered into pieces. She started falling from the sky and fell into a deep abyss full of sharp spikes. Her windbreaker and emerald green robe were full of bloody holes. The colorful cloth on the inside was also damaged.
Fresh blood was scattered across the ground. Mu Yinfeng had fallen into the crack of the collapsed peak. She was lying perfectly still, as if she had broken all her bones.

Nanrong Ni stared at Mu Ningxue in gaping disbelief.
She had expected Mu Ningxue to end up covered in blood, but it was her aunt who was lying in her own blood. If Mu Yinfeng had not shuddered a little, Nanrong Ni would even have assumed she was dead!
That arrow had been too terrifying. It was pointing at the sky, but it had caused the peak of the mountain to disappear!
If the arrow had landed on her, she would die for sure, even if she had hundreds of pieces of magical Equipment protecting her!
The Ice Crystal Bow… It was indeed a sacred artifact of the Ice Element. She had tried everything to claim it from Mu Ningxue. It seemed like Mu Ningxue was slowly gaining full control of it!

Mu Yinfeng's body was a little distorted. She endured tremendous pain to reconfigure the broken bones of her arms and waist.
"Reincarnation of the Ice Phoenix!"
Blue flames engulfed Mu Yinfeng after she used a great effort to utter the words.
The cold flames set her whole body on fire, but surprisingly began reconstructing her flesh and bones, not harming her.
Her spilled blood had disappeared. Her broken bones were repaired. Her flesh had fully recovered.
She was holding onto her final breath just a moment ago, but now had recovered from the injuries in the blink of an eye. It would look like the arrow had never hit her if her clothes were not so ragged.
Nanrong Ni smiled. As expected of her aunt, she was able to recover from such serious injuries. The Ice Phoenix did live up to her name!
Mu Yinfeng touched her face to make sure she had fully recovered. Her eyes were on the verge of spitting out flames!
Mu Ningxue had wasted her Reincarnation!
Reincarnation meant Mu Yinfeng's ability to swiftly recover from injury when she was at the brink of death.
It was Mu Yinfeng's Super Power. She had to consume massive resources of the Ice Element to replenish the energy required for her innate ability, Ice Phoenix's Reincarnation!
Mu Yinfeng finally understood why Mu Ningxue had dared to force her way up Mu Clan Mountain. Even if she had achieved the Super Level and obtained a Heaven Ice Seed, she would only be asking for her death, knowing how many powerful Mages the Mu Clan had.
But the Ice Crystal Bow...
She had cracked the Seal on the Forbidden Bow that the Mu Clan had forgotten to retrieve from her!
Mu Yinfeng would be half-dead by now if it weren't for her Ice Phoenix's Reincarnation!
"You won't be leaving this mountain alive today!" Mu Yinfeng screamed at Ningxue.
The Ice Crystal Bow in Mu Ningxue's hand did not disappear.
In the past, she had to deplete her energy and overburden her soul just to fire a single arrow from the Ice Crystal Bow.
However, the special Bow was no longer consuming her like a devil. Mu Ningxue had gradually controlled it and made it hers!
Mu Yinfeng was significantly stronger than Mu Ningxue, it was true. Mu Ningxue would only add more burdens to herself if she kept fighting with her own strength.
Therefore, she had decided to use the Ice Crystal Bow instead.
She had sworn to set foot on the mountain today!
Mu Ningxue would step over the bodies of the people who wanted her to fall without any mercy!
Mu Yinfeng was threatening to kill Mu Ningxue, even though the remains of the peak were lying between them.
The mountain was huge, but everyone would easily notice the disappearance of the mountaintop!
-----------
The main buildings had almost collapsed from the enormous impact. The leaders of the clan in the Clan Hall immediately looked in the direction of the loud impact.
"Who dares to damage our clan's mountain?" Elder Mu Dao demanded angrily.
Mu Dao could sense the strong vibrations in the distance. He thought some Super Mage was fooling around with a Super Spell, but when he turned around again, the peak of the mountain was gone!
Mu Feiluan had to step forward. "I'll take care of it. Please continue on with the meeting, I'll be back soon!"
"Feiluan, why haven't you sorted it out even now? You have seriously let me down," an old man with his eyes closed said.
"I'll deal with it right now!" Mu Feiluan repeated firmly. He had no choice but to leave the meeting early, even if it meant breaking the rules!

Rocks which had once belonged to the peak of the mountain were still rolling, and had almost razed the main buildings to the ground. Luckily, a group of Disciplinary Mages was around to stop them.
If the main buildings had been brought down like the peak of the mountain, they too would soon disappear from the world!
Even though Mu Yinfeng had just put on a tough front, her face paled when she noticed Mu Ningxue was still holding the Ice Crystal Bow.
Without the Ice Phoenix's Reincarnation, she might actually die to the bow!
Mu Yinfeng decisively summoned her ice feathers once more and headed for the Clan Hall, despite her unwillingness.
She could sense Mu Ningxue's strong murderous intent. The next arrow would surely claim her life once Mu Ningxue caught her breath after firing the first one!
"Aunt, wait for me!"
Nanrong Ni was terrified when she saw Mu Yinfeng running away without her!
