Chapter 378 The Transaction, Level 3 Frozen Coffin
Chapter 378 The Transaction, Level 3 Frozen Coffin
"Really? I think you're overthinking it," Jiang Han scoffed.
"You arrogant brat, do you really think you can stop us with this energy barrier?"
As he spoke, Mu He exuded a bone-chilling cold aura, and a series of sky-blue ice star maps floated around him, eventually forming a magnificent ice constellation above his head. Then, a huge ice crystal coffin appeared within the ice constellation.
"Frozen Coffin - Seal!"
This is a high-level, level three ice-type spell. Its sealing effect and power are far superior to those of Heavenly Coffin and Sealing Coffin.
Both the Heavenly Coffin and the Sealed Coffin use the extreme cold within the ice coffin to seal the enemy, only the power of the ice seal differs. However, if the enemy is stronger than the caster, there is still a chance to break free from the ice coffin's seal.
For example, if you use the Heavenly Coffin to deal with a demon of the Grand Commander level, you can only seal it for less than a minute. Although a minute is not a short time for a high-level mage, at most that time can only cause some damage to the demon, let alone seriously injure or kill it.
But Zhenfeng is different; it can not only freeze the enemy's body, but also temporarily freeze their spirit. This is the power of Zhenfeng.
Faced with the slowly descending ice crystal coffin, Jiang Han dared not be careless. He could only reactivate the Thunder Dragon Armguard. Grayish-purple lightning began to coil on Jiang Han's left arm, and gradually the violent lightning began to compress in Jiang Han's palm.
The raging lightning was compressed into a beam of death filled with destructive power, and a deep rumble could even be heard.
Just as the Ice Crystal Coffin was about to fall, Jiang Han raised his hand and unleashed the Silent Thunder Death Ray. Upon impact, the Ice Crystal Coffin was pierced by the death ray, and the rainwater along its path was instantly evaporated.
It wasn't that the ice coffin wasn't hard enough; it was simply that the Thunder Dragon Armguard compressed the lightning to an extreme degree that ordinary people couldn't achieve. In addition, Jiang Han's lightning was enhanced by a top-tier soul seed. It was precisely because of these two prerequisites that he was able to shatter the ice crystal coffin so easily.
If it were a high-level mage, they would probably have fallen into Mu He's hands.
"What?!" Mu He stared in disbelief at what was happening before his eyes.
He hadn't expected Jiang Han to have such methods. Could it be that he really couldn't get rid of this kid for the Black Vatican?
Just then, the black mist shrouding the museum was dispersed by the golden disc player. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Han saw several Imperial Guard mages setting up an array to dispel the black mist, while Zhu Meng, holding a thunder spear, stared angrily at Jiang Han and the others on the roof.
"Young man of the Jiang family, don't you know there are many people here?"
Zhu Meng ignored Mu He and the others, and instead began to scold Jiang Han.
"You think I don't want to? It's just that they won't give me a chance," Jiang Han said irritably.
Seeing Zhu Meng and the others, along with a large number of Imperial Guard mages, arrive, Mo Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhu Meng and the others had arrived any later, he really wouldn't have been able to hold on. Didn't he see that the smooth fur of the Swift Star Wolf was covered with several bloodstains?
"Construct the Water Blossom Guardian Array to prevent the battle from affecting the citizens below. Also, notify the mage squad in the museum to speed up their evacuation." Han Ji issued a series of orders as soon as he arrived.
"Hahahaha, I never expected that a nobody like me could alarm such a big shot as Chairman Han Ji. I am truly flattered." Facing Han Ji and the others who surrounded him, Mu He not only showed no fear, but also laughed wildly.
"A nobody can incite a riot of the undead? Grand Deacon Hujin is truly modest," Han Ji sneered.
"President Han, I have a good deal to make. It concerns the lives of millions of people in the ancient capital. What will you choose?" Mu He said with a smile.
Han Ji frowned upon hearing this. If it truly concerned the lives of millions of people in the ancient capital, then he would have to consider it carefully.
"You want to rescue Salang?" Zhu Meng asked coldly.
"Not bad, how about it? As long as you cancel the decapitation plan, we'll give this city a glimmer of hope."
"Otherwise, if Lord Salang were to perish, not only would several of your innocent high-ranking officials be buried with him, but millions of people in the entire ancient capital would also be buried with him. What would you choose?" Mu He said without any attempt to hide his true feelings.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng, Fei Jiao, and Han Ji all fell silent. Although the scope of Salang's true identity had been narrowed down, if the decapitation plan were to be carried out, it might really be as Mu He said, that the entire ancient capital would be buried with Salang.
Salang is a cardinal of the Black Church. If they were to kill him in the ancient capital, the world might know of the existence of their Ancient Capital Magic Association, but the price would be the lives of millions of people. This made Han Ji and the others hesitate.
"Heh, Mu He, you old dog, who knows how much of what you say is believable?" Jiang Han sneered.
Jiang Han originally didn't want to waste words with Mu He and would directly join forces with Old Man Zhu and Chairman Han to kill Mu He. However, during his fight with Mu He just now, he had a guess: that Zhang Xiaohou's Forget-Me-Not was planted by Mu He.
Zhang Xiaohou was poisoned with the Forgetfulness Worm precisely because he knew their plan. Therefore, knowing that removing the Forgetfulness Worm from Zhang Xiaohou would confirm the truthfulness of Mu He's words. The reason Jiang Han said that Mu He's words were unreliable was to make him take the initiative to request to remove the Forgetfulness Worm from Zhang Xiaohou. Only in that way could Zhang Xiaohou be saved.
"Is Zhang Xiaohou still alive? It's quite an achievement that he's lasted this long," Mu He said with a smile.
"Although my Forgetfulness Worm has eaten away part of his memories, he can fully recover as long as he takes my antidote."
"I will tell you about the five tombs of Qin Shi Huang. As long as you can lift that kid's curse, you can go to him to confirm the truth of my words. How about it?" Mu He said confidently.
It was as if he had Han Ji and the others completely under his control, but that was the truth. With the lives of millions of people at stake, Han Ji and the others dared not make a decision easily, so they could only do as Mu He said.
"Hmph." Zhu Meng snorted coldly, then dispelled the thunder spear in his hand with displeasure.
"Go and bring Zhang Xiaohou, and Elder Lingxi and the others here." Han Ji turned and instructed the two guard mages.
A few minutes later, a Guardian Mage flew over with Zhang Xiaohou, who had just regained consciousness, followed closely by several Guardian Mages, Elder Lingxi, and Vice Judge Qi Min. A barely perceptible look of disdain flashed in Elder Lingxi's eyes.
"The person has been brought." Zhu Meng said coldly, looking at Mu He.
"Then let them go," Mu He said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
