Gu Buxiu's rotting flesh cracked like porcelain as the sudden blizzard engulfed him. His mismatched corpse-arms froze solid, fingers snapping off as he whirled to face the new threat.
"Who—?!"
A blade of crystalline ice pierced through his chest before he could finish.
"Ice Burial."
Yun Qianxue's voice carried no emotion as her sword erupted from Gu Buxiu's back, its glacial edge freezing his blood before it could spill. The Corpse Refiner's eyes bulged, his remaining flesh turning blue as frost spread through his veins.
"You—" His jaw locked mid-sentence, teeth shattering from the cold.
Yun Qianxue twisted her blade.
CRACK!
Gu Buxiu's frozen torso exploded into diamond-like shards.
But the wily necromancer wasn't finished. His head tumbled through the air, black energy swirling as he screamed:
"Corpse Rebirth!"
The scattered ice fragments trembled, inching toward each other.
Yun Qianxue's eyes narrowed. She raised her free hand—
"Eternal Frost."
