Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

"what……"

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Mo Zi struggled hard, but found that the ice surface was getting tighter and tighter. Bursts of eerie laughter came from the chaotic black fog, as if mocking her futility.

Just when she felt despair, the scenery around her suddenly distorted and a strong feeling of dizziness came over her.

"Um?"

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange space where illusion and reality were intertwined.

"here it is?"

There is a cliff shrouded in clouds and mist under your feet, and one step forward is a bottomless abyss.

And at this moment, she was standing on the top of a towering mountain.

Looking up, the familiar Eye Sect buildings were in ruins. Most of the once majestic towers had collapsed, and broken glass lenses were scattered all over the ground. The once sparkling Mirror Lake was now dry and cracked, covered with traces of chaos erosion.

"What the hell is going on? Isn't this the Eye Sect? Didn't Bai Tang and the others liberate this place with my brother before coming here? Why..."

Mo Zi muttered to himself, his voice full of shock and disbelief.

"Pong..."

She staggered forward a few steps, and the tip of her shoe crushed a piece of broken lens. The harsh sound was particularly clear in the dead silence.

"Roar……"

"Woo..."

At this moment, a deafening dragon roar tore through the sky, followed by a clear phoenix cry in response.

Two powerful auras swept over from the distant sky. Mo Zi looked up suddenly and saw an ice dragon emitting a faint blue cold air and a phoenix with azure water patterns flowing all over its body fighting fiercely in the sky.

Wherever the ice dragon passed, spider-web-like ice crystals condensed in the air; when the phoenix spread its wings, the water blades it swung out carried a chaotic dark light.

"!"

Mo Zi's pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his heart.

The power contained in these two auras contained both her brother Mo Yun's signature icy aura, mixed with the chaotic aura that made her heart palpitate.

"Is this really my brother?"

What shocked her even more was that in the aftermath of the fierce battle, she seemed to have caught a faint glimpse of a familiar rhythmic fluctuation - in that fluctuation, there was both the sharp edge of ice that was unique to her brother, and the flexibility of water that had erupted when she had lost control.

……

At the foot of the mountain, the broken jade flute trembled lightly at Xiaoqing's fingertips. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her voice trembling with disbelief:

"Brother, sister, how could you..."

"Humph……"

The ice dragon, wrapped in a faint blue chill, swung its tail, shattering half of the cliff. A familiar yet cold male voice came from beneath the black robe, interrupting her:

"Stop talking nonsense. Submitting to Chaos is your only way out."

Before he could finish his words, a hundred-meter-high ice wall suddenly rose from the ground, trapping Xiaoqing in the center.

A giant python formed from azure water came from the other direction, carrying with it the violent aura of Mo Zi when he lost control, mixed with a cold female voice:

"Don't resist in vain, Xiaoqing. The power of chaos is beyond your ability to contend with."

"no way!"

Xiaoqing tapped her toes lightly and leaped high into the air through the cracks in the ice wall. The wind-type rhythmic force gathered in the broken flute body:

"I don't believe it! Brother always said he wanted to protect Catland, and sister was willing to take risks to protect us! You won't really be completely controlled by Chaos!"

Her roar was torn apart by the sharp cry of the phoenix, and the azure water whip wrapped in chaotic energy lashed towards her throat like a poisonous snake.

"Foolish!"

"..."

The fragments of the jade flute burst out with the last rays of light. Xiaoqing narrowly avoided it by leaning to the side, but half of her sleeve was frozen by the cold air exhaled by the ice dragon.

"Even if you are temporarily lost,"

She gritted her teeth and shattered the ice crystals, her hair dancing wildly in the wind.

"My fellow Star Luos and I will definitely wake you up! We swore an oath to protect Neko-Tsuchi together!"

Xiaoqing's words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight at the figure under the black robe.

"Hoohoho..."

The ice dragon that was originally hovering in the air suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the cold air around its body surged, and the entire sky was instantly covered with frost.

"..."

Mo Yun slowly raised his hand, the icy blue light in his eyes becoming more intense. His voice was icy cold, as if it came from the Netherworld:

"Since you refuse to change your ways, then sleep forever!"

"!"

In an instant, huge ice spikes condensed in the sky, each of which was a hundred feet long and flashed with a heart-pounding cold light.

The ice spikes fell towards Xiaoqing like meteors. Wherever they passed, the air was frozen into ice crystals, and the ground was eroded by the cold air, leaving cracks.

"This……"

Xiaoqing looked at the ice spikes that blocked out the sky, gritted her teeth and condensed her rhythmic power again, trying to hold up a shield in this desperate situation, but her body was already exhausted, and the rhythmic power shield she had just condensed seemed extremely fragile under the pressure of the ice spikes.

"!"

In the void, Mo Zi was extremely anxious. She rushed towards Xiao Qing desperately, her hair dancing wildly in the chaotic airflow:

"No, you can't hurt her!"

However, her body was like a phantom, directly penetrating Mo Yun's attack.

"call out……"

Those ice spikes emitting the breath of death swept across her body unhindered and whizzed towards Xiaoqing.

Mo Zi stretched out his hand in despair, but could only watch the ice spike getting closer and closer to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing's stubborn figure seemed small and tough under this attack that was enough to destroy the world.

"No, no..."

Amid the sharp whistling sound of ice spikes tearing through the air, Mo Zi's pupils trembled violently.

"what--"

She ran towards Xiaoqing desperately, her illusory body twisted and deformed in the chaotic airflow, her hair torn into a mess, but she still stared at the emerald figure.

"Qing'er! Qing'er Qing'er!"

Her screams were filled with tears, and with each cry, the taste of rust rose from her throat.

"younger sister--"

"Why? Why..."

Her footsteps stomped heavily in the air, creating countless transparent ripples, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not close the distance between her and Xiaoqing.

"Uh--"

Seeing that the weak shield that Xiaoqing had barely put up was vulnerable to the ice spikes, Mo Zi felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by invisible sharp claws.

She tore at her clothes, her nails dug deep into her palms, blood dripping through her fingers, but she seemed to feel no pain.

"Ler me get through!"

Mo Zi beat the void frantically, tears mixed with chaotic mist blurring his vision.

"It seems that this is the only way..."

The ice spikes were getting closer and closer, and Xiaoqing's stubborn face became paler in the cold.

She suddenly pounced on the ice spike, trying to use her body to block the fatal attack, but her shadow was penetrated by the ice spike, shattering and reorganizing like foam.

Despair flooded her like a tide. Mo Zi collapsed to the ground, her desperate cries echoing in this chaotic space:

"don't want--!"

A group of ice spikes, carrying a biting cold, pressed down on Xiaoqing, but she suddenly loosened her trembling hands.

"Everyone, I'm here to accompany you..."

The broken jade flute slipped from her fingertips, and she slumped to the ground powerlessly, looking at the dense swarm of ice blades above her head. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed - her companions in the Xingluo class were unconscious, and she had already exhausted the last bit of her rhythmic energy. Perhaps, this was their end.

Just when the cold air almost touched the tips of the hair, a heart-wrenching cry of "Qing'er" suddenly pierced the chaos.

"!"

Xiaoqing was shocked and looked up suddenly, with an unbelievable light in her eyes:

"elder sister?!"

She glanced around frantically, but saw only swirling black fog and approaching ice spikes.

"Why...why do I hear my sister's voice?"

"Bang bang bang..."

Mo Zi in the void was almost collapsed. She pounced on the ice spikes again and again, and passed through the attacks again and again. Her transparent palms grasped Xiao Qing's shoulders in vain.

"I'm here! Qing'er!"

Her voice was so hoarse that it almost broke, and her tears mixed with the chaos and condensed into ice crystals.

"Don't give up! Don't close your eyes!"

When he saw Xiao Qing looking up to find him, Mo Zi completely lost control and madly hit the invisible barrier that blocked her. His hair fluttered in the air like a butterfly crying blood.

"It's me! It's my sister!"
