Chapter 591 Mu Ningxue, exchanging injuries for injuries
Previously, the Black Tree Spirit's attention was entirely focused on the iceberg in front of Mu Ningxue that was about to be breached and the several giant ice pythons. It did not notice Mu Ningxue's small movements. Now, after seeing the frozen coffin being smashed towards it, it realized that it had underestimated this human. Realizing that something was wrong, it had the idea of retreating and quickly pulled out the roots buried in the ground.
Without wasting any words, Mu Ningxue directly controlled the Frozen Coffin to smash the fleeing Black Tree Spirit Commander. After being enveloped by the Frozen Coffin, the temperature suddenly dropped and quickly fell below zero. The originally soft ground with a rotten smell instantly froze as hard as granite, preventing the Black Tree Spirit Commander from pulling out the remaining roots buried in the soil and escaping smoothly.
Among demons, none of those who can advance to the commander level are fools. Therefore, knowing that he could not escape unscathed, the Black Tree Spirit Commander decisively shattered the roots buried in the soil. Compared to being seriously injured by the frozen coffin, severing some roots was just a minor problem. Once he returned to his territory, he could quickly recover by absorbing the energy in the Black Lake.
The reason I risked attacking and killing Mu Ningxue this time was mainly to use the blood of a human mage to enhance my own foundation and prepare for the next advancement.
However, he encountered a human mage like Mu Ningxue who was willing to trade injuries for injuries.
After the Black Tree Spirit leader severed its own roots, countless black sap flowed out from the broken roots. The sap flowed onto the ground and emitted a foul, rotten smell. The Black Tree Spirit leader paid no attention to the roots that were flowing with sap and shook them off as it fled toward the Black Lake in its territory.
Although the Black Tree Spirit Commander reacted quickly, it was still too slow. It hadn't run more than a few steps before the frozen coffin completely fell and suppressed it. Countless piercing cold energies invaded its body, freezing it inside the coffin. Thus, the Black Tree Spirit Commander was temporarily dealt with, but the Black Tree Crystal in the tree hole would not be available for the time being.
Without their leader, the black tree spirits were no match for Mu Ningxue. After several rounds of combined ice and wind magic attacks, more than a dozen black tree spirits were killed. The remaining black tree spirits, seeing that this human mage was not someone to be trifled with, wisely fled. As for rescuing their leader from the coffin, the black tree spirits never even considered it.
Even the leader was no match for them; they would only be offering themselves up for slaughter. Any black tree spirit with a bit of intelligence would wisely flee to a place far away from Mu Ningxue, for fear of accidentally turning into an ice sculpture.
After confirming that the black tree spirits had all left, Mu Ningxue used ice magic to clear a relatively clean area on the spot, then sat down cross-legged to begin recovering the magic energy she had previously consumed. As for the injuries she sustained at the last moment, she would have to wait until she found the others.
······
Jiang Han was unaware of what had happened to Mu Ningxue. He simply directed the Bone Lizard Pseudo-Dragon to head towards the spatial imprint he had sensed. By the time he and Mu Nujiao arrived at the Black Tree Demon Forest on the Bone Lizard Pseudo-Dragon, Mu Ningxue's battle had already ended, and the ground was littered with the remains of Black Tree Spirits and various ice sculptures.
"There?" Mu Nujiao suddenly pointed to a clearing in the Black Tree Demon Forest and said.
"Let's go." Jiang Han patted the spot where he was sitting, then gestured for the 'Tool Dragon' to fly over.
Jiang Han's soul realm had already reached the peak of the sixth realm, and he was only one step away from stepping into the seventh realm, which countless people could not reach in their entire lives. At the same time, he had almost mastered spatial magic. As soon as he arrived at the Black Tree Demon Forest, he used spatial vibrations to explore the entire forest. He knew where the Black Tree Spirits were, what realm they were, and even the location of Mu Ningxue.
Meanwhile, Mu Ningxue, though recovering her magical energy, still kept a portion of her mind alert to her surroundings, guarding against any sudden attacks from other demons.
Although the Bone Lizard Pseudo-Dragon was just a "tool dragon" in Jiang Han's eyes, its strength at the level of a Grand Commander was real. From the moment the Bone Lizard Pseudo-Dragon approached, Mu Ningxue stopped recovering and prepared for the upcoming battle. At the same time, she took out the spatial scroll that the referee had given her earlier.
Although Mu Ningxue was somewhat proud, she was still aware of her own strength. She might be able to take down a Commander-level enemy with a small price to pay, but she would really have a hard time dealing with a Grand Commander-level enemy.
Not only her, but everyone else in the National Government team would have had to run away if they came. Of course, Jiang Han wouldn't be among them, because that guy would definitely be able to deal with demons at the level of a Grand Commander.
"Whoosh~~~~" The 'Tool Dragon' flapped its huge bone wings and flew above Mu Ningxue. The wind stirred up by the bone wings made Mu Ningxue's long silver hair flutter in the wind.
"Hmm?" When Mu Ningxue saw the appearance of the bone lizard pseudo-dragon, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before, and this demon was also an undead.
At that moment, Mu Nujiao had already run onto the head of the 'tool dragon' and shouted loudly to Mu Ningxue below, "Ningxue!!"
"Mu Nujiao?" Mu Ningxue breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing Mu Nujiao. She then understood why she felt a strange sense of familiarity upon seeing this bone lizard pseudo-dragon. It must have evolved from the undead lizard giant demon. And the only person who could summon such an undead spirit as a means of transportation was Jiang Han.
Just thinking that Jiang Han had approached Mu Nujiao first made Mu Ningxue feel inexplicably irritated. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Mu Nujiao, who was greeting her now, was asserting her dominance over her.
As for what kind of sovereignty she's talking about, who else besides Jiang Han deserves her to act this way? Mu Ningxue just felt very uncomfortable. She was the one who had gained the approval of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qinghan.
She didn't know when it started, but her heart, which had been frozen for so long, inexplicably cracked open, and she would occasionally touch its softness. However, she didn't know how to face the feelings that had been born out of nowhere.
Mu Ningxue was a beloved daughter of heaven since childhood, praised by countless people. However, after meeting Jiang Han, she suffered repeated setbacks. Her pride and self-esteem prevented her from touching that inexplicable feeling.
In fact, from the moment she chose to keep her distance from Mo Fan, she had already accepted it; she just didn't dare to face her own heart.

While Mu Ningxue's thoughts were wandering, Jiang Han stepped off the head of the 'Tool Dragon' and disappeared instantly, reappearing on the ground.
Upon seeing Mu Ningxue's mangled right shoulder and the Black Tree Spirit Commander frozen in the coffin not far away, Jiang Han unconsciously frowned and said, "This is somewhat unlike your personality."
Although he hadn't personally experienced the previous battle, Jiang Han could roughly guess that Mu Ningxue had probably taken down the Black Tree Spirit leader by trading injuries for injuries.
