Chapter 236 The Siren Disaster in Shanghai, the Huangpu River on the Verge of Falling
Shanghai, above the clouds.
"Xiao Jin, you should go back to the summoning space now. We'll let you show your skills properly in a while."
Upon hearing Zu Qingyun's words, Xiao Jin obediently nodded his dragon head, and then tore open the summoning gate and disappeared into it.
Just as he was swooping down, he saw a red wave, resembling a small mountain, rushing toward the new city on the outskirts of Shanghai at an incredible speed.
Seeing this huge horde of demons, Zu Qingyun missed the Black Dragon Emperor's dragon breath. Spitting out that mouthful of phlegm would be absolutely exhilarating!
"Instantaneous movement, yet worlds apart!"
But Zu Qingyun's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already in the sky above the new city.
Meanwhile, on the neighboring mountain, Wei Rong, a teacher at Mingzhu Academy, showed a hint of tension in his eyes when he saw Zu Qingyun suddenly appear on the horizon.
After all, this is a siren wave! Even a super-level mage would have a hard time surviving under such circumstances.
"The Cry of Snow Princess: A Lament for the World in Icy Rain!"
But then, an extremely terrifying super-level ice magic constellation instantly rose up beneath Zu Qingyun, and at that moment, the temperature on the east side of the new city, directly facing the red sea monster wave, instantly dropped to below zero.
The residents who were panicking and trying to flee in the streets instinctively looked up at the sky after feeling the extremely low temperature.
"It's a mage! A military mage has come to our rescue!"
Some people discovered the effects of the spell being cast in the sky, but many others wanted to take advantage of Zu Qingyun's ability to hold back the rising tide and escape.
Hidden atop the mountain, Wei Rong felt a pang of worry for the people of Xincheng after sensing this aura. Although he wanted to help, his high-level cultivation was simply insufficient to intervene in a battle of this caliber.
"click"
Under Zu Qingyun's control, the sea monsters that approached were frozen and rendered incapable of movement almost instantly by his super-level ice magic.
However, there was an unexpected element: the leader of this red wave was a red-eyed demon lord at the level of a minor monarch!
"Do you really think your great-grandfather is intimidated by ants like you who are only monarchs? You dare to get close to me?"
But when Zu Qingyun saw the Red-Eyed Demon Lord arrive, he didn't even flinch and punched its head, which was covered in sticky mucus.
"Bam—!!"
As expected, its head was easily smashed by Zu Qingyun's punch.
The siren race is really strange; their blood is mostly blue and green, and rarely red.
"Nine Profound Golden Thunder - Judgment!"
Terrifying lightning instantly enveloped the frozen waves, and when the lightning struck, all the demons here were shattered into dust.
After doing all this, Zu Qingyun did not linger here, but used teleportation to quickly head to Mingzhu Academy.
Meanwhile, Wei Rong, who had been watching the entire process from the hilltop, was utterly shocked. He couldn't believe that someone could smash the head of a monarch-level demon with a single punch and instantly kill so many demons.
On the sandbar, Ai Tutu, who had already advanced to the Super-Rank Mage level thanks to the Star Sea Heavenly Vein given to him by Zu Qingyun, was directing the students around him to resist the encirclement of a large group of Crocodile Skin Sea Monsters.
Looking at the sandbar surrounded by general-level demons and several commander-level demons, Ai Tutu's feigned composure finally gave way to a hint of panic.
"Demon Wood Hand - Grasp and Kill!"
Seeing one of the team members trapped, Ai Tutu instantly used plant magic to help him break free. The reason the surrounding commanders dared not rush over was entirely because Ai Tutu, a super-level mage, was among them; otherwise, all the trapped students would likely have become the monsters' prey.
The sea monsters at the commander level didn't seem to be in a hurry. It was as if they already regarded Aitutu and the others as their meal, waiting for her to exhaust all her magic before devouring them one by one.
"Big Sister, the brothers can't hold on much longer. How about we all just go all out? Let's send as many people as we can, rather than let these sea monsters drain our magic and make us their food."
After hearing his words, Ai Tutu still had some hesitation in her heart.
"No, some students have already given their all to fight off the sea monster. Letting those who still have the strength to retreat now would be tantamount to sending the rest to their deaths in vain."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ai Tutu, the young man gritted his teeth and joined the battle.
Soon, Ai Tutu was also exhausted. Looking at the sea monsters that were still charging forward, she regretted not listening to Qingyun and leaving this place quickly.
But in the next second, a crimson glow enveloped the entire sky, and the students on the sandbar felt as if they were being warmed by the sun.
“Wow——!!”
A graceful flame spirit descended from the sky onto the sandbar, and all the sea monsters were frozen in place by the oppressive aura emanating from her upon seeing her.
"Ring, ring, ring"
A slightly angry voice was uttered by the fire elemental spirit, and in an instant, the sea monsters that were about to devour their lives were burned to ashes.
Aitu looked at the fire spirit standing in front of her and sensed a familiar aura emanating from it.
"Are you Little Flame Princess?"
Seeing that Ai Tutu had actually recognized her, Xiao Yanji walked up to her with her head held high and then proudly gestured with her hand to show the height difference between the two of them.
Ai TuTu: ╭(╯^╰)╮
Soon, a spatial fluctuation appeared around Xiao Yanji, and Zu Qingyun followed closely behind, appearing directly in front of everyone.
“Qingyun!!”
Upon seeing Zu Qingyun, Ai Tutu immediately pounced and hugged him tightly.
"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, and from now on I will definitely, absolutely listen to you 100%."
Her voice trembled with a hint of tears. She had been trying to remain calm and had led the students in guarding the place for an hour, but after feeling Zu Qingyun's warm embrace, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"Alright, sweetie, I came to find you, but if you keep running around like that,..."
Before Zu Qingyun could finish speaking, Ai Tutu hurriedly spoke up, her voice trembling with tears.
"No, it won't happen again! There will absolutely not be a next time!"
After comforting Ai Tutu, Zu Qingyun turned to look at the crowd behind him.
"I have completely eradicated all the demons that have entered Mingzhu Academy from here. You should all return to the school to prepare yourselves and stay hidden. I still need to take Tutu to the Huangpu River estuary to deal with the hordes of sea monsters that keep entering. I don't have time to send you back." (End of Chapter)
