Mo Fan looked up into the sky and saw hailstones as big as fists falling down from the sky.

The roofs of the vehicles on the street collapsed as the hailstones smashed into them. The street was soon drowned by the alarms from the vehicles.

The ground was covered in shattered pieces of ice. The branches and leaves of the plants nearby were knocked off and scattered across the place.

The team immediately hid inside a cafe. They thought they were safe under the umbrellas outside the shop. To their surprise, the hail grew even heavier, and the hailstones were big enough to collapse the elastic umbrellas!

The size of the hailstones grew bigger, like it was raining bullets. The streets were drowned in screams, as the pedestrians ran for the buildings in a panic.

Mo Fan looked up and glanced at the pitch-black sky.

The hail was too unnatural. It felt like the streets of New York were suddenly riddled with thousands of holes. The damage that the hail dealt was fairly shocking. Every vehicle on the street, including the public transportation, was destroyed!

“F**k me, what exactly is going on? Why would it hail all of a sudden in midsummer? The damage it dealt is comparable to an Advanced Spell!” cursed Zhao Manyan.

They clearly remembered the night sky was perfectly clear when they came out. The hail had appeared out of nowhere without any sign. The fist-hailstones were able to leave cracks on the steel glass of many buildings!

It was still hailing. It did not seem like the strange weather was going to stop any time soon. Mo Fan glanced around him and saw a coffee shop at the corner of the street.

“Do you guys feel like drinking something? Coffee tastes better in a hail!” Mo Fan said.

The others looked at Mo Fan with icy cold expressions. Wasn’t the joke a bit too cold when they were surrounded by hailstones?

Mo Fan went to the coffee shop and saw the barista was a beautiful Asian girl with fair skin. He greeted her with a smile and asked, “Which country are you from?”

“China, how about you?” The barista was pretty easy-going. She answered while taking Mo Fan’s order.

“What a coincidence, I’m from China too!” Mo Fan said.

The girl giggled and said, “What kind of coincidence is that? I bet a quarter of the people on this street are Chinese. Are you really here for a cup of coffee? Or you are here to get my number?”

“Ugh… you’ve misunderstood me, I’m really here for the coffee,” Mo Fan immediately felt awkward.

How straightforward, it seemed like the girls who had stayed in the USA for some time were indeed different !

“Oh, so you’re not interested in my number?”

“I didn’t mean that either, haha, I just came to New York recently too… the hail, is it always like this in New York?” Mo Fan asked.

“Not really, this hail is pretty scary… here is your coffee, and here is our business card. Keep it, we provide delivery service too,” the girl said with a smile. She had dimples on her cheeks, she was definitely the cheerful kind.

“Business card? Ugh…” Mo Fan scratched his head. So this is the number she was referring to? Mo Fan seriously thought he was lucky enough to get himself a flirtatious adventure in a foreign country. Such a pity!

“The second one is my number. Feel free to call me!” The girl was not shy in front of a stranger, telling Mo Fan with a smile.

“I…” Mo Fan was about to speak when he sensed a great chill coming from his surroundings!

The chill was from instinct. It was like a subconscious reaction from the cells in his body when his life was in danger!

Mo Fan reacted subconsciously by Summoning the Black Snake Armor to protect himself.

During the process, Mo Fan noticed the girl was still wearing a faint smile. She was totally unaware of the approaching danger. He immediately lunged forward and hugged the girl in his arms to protect her!

A dozen long cones of ice came spearing in from different directions. Their tips were all aimed at the same target, who was none other than Mo Fan…

The power of the icicles was shocking. They were so fast that it was impossible to see them. The icicles stabbed Mo Fan…

Despite the outstanding protection of the Black Snake Armor, the icicles still managed to penetrate it!

Five icicles were stuck in Mo Fan’s back. He was clenching his teeth in pain…

The icicles had appeared very suddenly. If Mo Fan had more time to react, the Black Snake Armor could have fully set up its defense, and he would not have found himself in such a terrible position!

“Mo Fan!” The others immediately noticed Mo Fan’s situation. They quickly rushed to his side.

The little coffee shop was smashed to pieces. Mo Fan fell to the ground with a few icicles stabbed in his back. Fresh blood was pouring out from the Black Snake Armor.

“Tsk tsk, it’s quite a surprise that you’re still alive!” a man wearing a blue hoodie called out mockingly while walking through the hail.

The dense hailstones were smashing down heavily onto the street, yet the man seemed perfectly fine. Not a single hailstone had landed on him.

Mo Fan rose to his feet from the debris of the coffee shop.

He was still hugging the petite Chinese girl. However, his heart skipped a beat when he saw her covered in blood.

Mo Fan tried very hard to protect her. Unfortunately, one of the icicles still flew past his shoulder and stabbed the girl in her chest. Her fresh blood had dyed her entire white shirt red in a shocking manner!

The Chinese girl’s eyes widened in pain with a blank expression. She had no idea what had happened, or why her body felt so light all of a sudden…

“Still trying to protect someone else when you’re having trouble protecting yourself? Don’t be sad, I’ll send you to join her soon!” the man in a blue hoodie said in a strange voice.

It was obvious that he had come for Mo Fan.

The man was incredibly strong. He was able to execute his attack without alerting Mo Fan, and the icicles were strong enough to penetrate Mo Fan’s Black Snake Armor!

“Who…who are you, how dare you try to kill someone on the streets!?” Zhao Manyan came and cursed, pointing at the man.

The rest of the team had arrived too, but the man in a blue hoodie did not seem bothered by their intrusion. He waved his hand, summoning a spinning, icy aura around himself. Huge hailstones the size of basketballs started pouring down heavily in the area the team was standing in!

Even Mages were unable to withstand the damage inflicted by the hailstones. They left huge impacts on the ground after smashing into it!

“It’s none of your business. It’s a personal matter between Mo Fan and I. Leave if you don’t want to die too!” The man was utterly arrogant, as if the team of Advanced Magicians was unable to pose any threat to him!

“His Ice Element is very strong!” Mu Ningxue said grimly.

Mu Ningxue was an expert with the Ice Element, yet she felt like her control of the Ice Element was overridden by the man’s presence. The Ice Element nearby was all gathering toward him, and was fully under his control!

“He’s from the Black Vatican!” Mu Ningxue stated.

Blue hoodie, savage approach, and holding a grudge against Mo Fan… Mu Ningxue could only think of the Black Vatican matching that criteria.

Mu Ningxue knew Mo Fan had successfully caught the attention of a Red Cardinal of the Black Vatican at the ranches. The people of the Black Vatican must have learned of Mo Fan’s whereabouts when the news about the defeat of the USA’s Training Hall was made public. However, Mu Ningxue was surprised that the people of the Black Vatican were daring enough to attack Mo Fan on the streets of New York City. They were showing no respect to one of the five Continental Magic Associations located in New York, the Sacred Hall of Liberty!

“He’s very strong, but he can’t stay around for too long. We’ll hold him off together until the Sacred Hall Mages arrive!” Mu Ningxue said.

Mu Ningxue did not leave. She forcibly unleashed her Domain, attempting to regain control over the Ice Element nearby. Otherwise, the effects of her Ice Spells would decrease significantly.

However, even after Mu Ningxue laid out her Domain, she realized that she was unable to grab the attention of the Ice Elements!

The fierce hailstones pouring upon the place were made from the Blue Deacon’s Domain, which was a lot stronger than Mu Ningxue’s Domain.

“Don’t be so eager to die, just take it slowly!” the Blue Deacon laughed. It sounded like the cry of a bat.

The Blue Deacon walked through the hail and waved his hands, summoning ice spikes from the ground. The ice spikes were able to appear from every angle, some emerging from the ground, some poking out along the buildings, while some were falling from the sky.

The ice spikes covered the place, turning it into a forest of icy spikes immediately. The team had trouble moving without getting rid of the spikes first.

“Should I make it denser?” the Blue Deacon mocked them. His eyes emitted a terrifying, icy-white flicker with a thought.

More smaller spikes grew out from the forest of icy spikes, spikes upon spikes, tearing at the members of the team like rows of fangs!

The team was trapped inside the forest of spikes. Zhao Manyan’s defensive spells barely created enough space to keep everyone safe. However, the area within a few hundred meters was fully covered in ice. They could not even see where Mo Fan was, and it would take them some time just to break through the thick layers of ice.

“Meteorite Fist!”

Mo Fan’s heart burned with anger. He threw a punch forward, summoning a fiery dragon tearing the ice along the path into pieces. It was heading straight for the arrogant Blue Deacon!

Mo Fan was angry, mad at how cruel the Black Vatican was. The man did not even hesitate to harm an innocent person!

To his relief, the girl did not die immediately. The icicle froze the wound and significantly slowed down her blood loss…

However, she would not be able to escape death if Mo Fan could not defeat this man as soon as possible!.
