Chapter 475: The Blizzard Devoured Her

Within the amber‑gold crystal surface, Min Xingyao's figure was sliced into hundreds of fragments.

Mei Weisi's compound eyes missed none of Min Xingyao's movements; she twirled her short staff in her hand, the amber‑gold light at its tip drawing a slender arc through the icy mist, another strike missed, and Min Xingyao had already vanished from that spot.

An ice blade flew in from the side, sealing off all her escape routes.

Mei Weisi's wings unfolded behind her, the translucent membrane wings vibrating at high speed in the icy mist, emitting a faint, light hum.

The ice blade skimmed past her hem, the deep‑purple shreds of fabric fluttered briefly in the icy mist before freezing into a rigid thin sheet that shattered into fragments upon hitting the ground.

Her wings also began to frost over.

Ice crystals spread from the wing roots to the tips, greatly affecting her flight speed; Mei Weisi was forced onto the ground, her heels slipping across the ice for a long distance.

Mei Weisi decided to stall for time.

Unlike the reckless, tiger‑unafraid thrush, Min Xingyao kept her at a distance at all times, preventing Mei Weisi from getting close enough to inject toxin into Min Xingyao's body.

Min Tianyou had prepared for this day for far too long.

Although Mei Weisi's actions were enigmatic and she rarely entered the front lines herself, whenever there was a chance, the Min siblings would go to any lengths to obtain her intelligence.

For example, the short staff in Mei Weisi's hand.

As a weapon, that short staff was rather too short, since its true form was essentially a syringe.

The weapon had undergone specialized processing, custom‑made to suit Mei Weisi's penchant for poison.

Mei Weisi heard the sound of something shattering.

Bai Mu Yun stood outside the factory, hands in his coat pockets, watching the transparent film before him crack open from the center.

Fragments drifted down slowly from the sky, melting into water before reaching the ground; the hem of Bai Mu Yun's windbreaker fluttered behind him, revealing the lower edge of his shirt.

He squinted his eyes; Bai Mu Yun saw Mei Weisi.

She stood near the factory doorway, her wings fully spread yet unable to lift, ice covering the entire membrane wing, turning the translucent film into a gray‑white ice slab.

Mei Weisi lifted her head toward Bai Mu Yun, her mouth corner twitching.

At least, Bai Mu Yun wasn't just standing by idly?

Before Mei Weisi could breathe a sigh of relief, Min Xingyao's long‑stored energy erupted completely at that moment.

All the ice simultaneously emitted a dazzling white flash, as if someone had thrown a flashbang inside the factory; Mei Weisi's compound eyes were forced shut, her sight snatched away by the white light, leaving her blind.

But her ears still functioned; she heard the sound of ice cracking, the fissures seeming to spread continuously until they shattered completely.

She heard the sound of wind, not the gentle afternoon breeze but the howl of a blizzard, the sharp whine of ice crystals cutting the air as they spun at high speed.

She must leave immediately!

Mei Weisi knew this might be Min Xingyao's final counterattack; once her presence was fully exposed, Dome reinforcements would rush here at once.

Then the gunfire sounded.

From a distant gray tombstone, a bullet pierced the edge of the blizzard, passed through gaps in the ice crystals, and struck Mei Weisi's wing root.

Her entire wing was torn from the root, and today she truly had to die here...

Min Xingyao gave Mei Weisi no time to catch her breath; the ice fissures in her pupils deepened, extending from the pupils to the whites of her eyes.

The blizzard coalesced behind her, its edges spreading outward; the entire factory trembled within her blizzard, ceiling shards being drawn into the vortex and ground into powder by the cutting ice crystals.

Her compound eyes were gradually recovering, but the crystal surface was filled with that wildly rotating white; beyond that she saw nothing.

Bai Mu Yun stood at the factory entrance; at the first moment the blizzard began expanding outward, he decisively put distance between himself and it.

Ice crystals flew past him, slicing off several strands of his hair.

A strike that had amassed such overwhelming power could only be seen as aimed at Mei Weisi's life.

Bai Mu Yun couldn't help her.

If he had truly charged in with blazing zeal, at most he would have become a burial companion for Mei Weisi.

Fortunately, he was no longer a naive teenager, but a filthy adult.

To save Mei Weisi's life, sacrificing himself was not worth it.

In the distance, Xie Jingyan halted, looking up at the white light surging from the factory roof.

"What is that?" Sha Yu Feng also sensed the powerful force not far away that was continuously expanding outward; rather than being merely powerful, it resembled a dying person's final counterattack.

Xie Jingyan gave no answer; she watched the ever‑growing blizzard, paused briefly, then kept charging forward.

Sha Yu Feng immediately followed, the Butterfly Speaker wanted to stop the two, but couldn't prevent Xie Jingyan's determination to go.

At the center of the blizzard, Min Xingyao slowly opened her eyes.

Her lips moved slightly, soundless, yet Mei Weisi read the word—

"Goodbye."

The blizzard devoured everything.

"B‑big news!"

The paparazzo stared at the scene in the distance that could be called the end of the world, fumbling to hoist his camera and immediately filming the moment.

"Shall we still go over?"

The fat guy hesitated a bit; the blizzard came rather abruptly—could it be a high‑level Aberrant Species launching an ambush, or a powerful Special Ability Practitioner fighting?

Although they were paparazzi, such news hot spots were exactly what they would fight to get, but knowing it was a dead end, there was no need to go, right?

The skinny one also hesitated upon hearing that; in fact, as long as they could post today's scoop online smoothly, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar.

But the only thing to consider was whether they could actually get that report out.

What if someone was behind Xie Jingyan?

Moreover, the magnitude of this blizzard was truly massive; even from their position they could feel the sudden drop in temperature. Others only needed to snap a distant photo, slap on a few eye‑catching headlines as fast as possible, and they'd already have missed the wave of traffic.

He watched Xie Jingyan's relentless figure and the distant blizzard, which after its initial burst was already beginning to subside, and gritted his teeth.

"Stay here and make sure the signal stays connected!"

Skinny spoke while he finished adjusting the sturdiest, top‑performance camera, then hoisted it onto his shoulder.

"Open the livestream, I'll go alone with the camera; you just need to make sure the picture transmits fully."

"Anyway, I'm on my own, so even if there's a chance to strike it rich, I've got to give it a try."
