Chapter 70. Hunting Down the Rebellious Guardian Mage
Although Mu Ningxue's arrow carried a chilling power, as if it could freeze everything in the world within her icy domain, she was merely a mid-level, second-tier mage.
Her strength was ultimately limited; that arrow had exhausted most of her magic and energy. At this moment, she could only lie in Mo Fan's arms, as if she were seriously injured, weak and pitiful.
However, from the moment she started 'escaping' until now, Mu Ningxue's eyes have been filled with shame and indignation!
Because, from beginning to end, Mo Fan never moved his hand to another place.
But he didn't even glance at him?
Well, Mu Ningxue comforted herself. He hadn't noticed her through the fabric. Right now, escaping was the most important thing.
Before long, in a forest, the branches and leaves of the trees intertwined, and the sunlight could only filter through the gaps between the layers of leaves, casting dappled spots of light.
Like sharks that have smelled blood, they pursued relentlessly from a short distance behind. Their footsteps were like the urgent beat of a death knell.
Mo Fan wasn't moving fast because he was still holding the weak Mu Ningxue in his arms.
In fact, even though he was able to escape quickly, he didn't intend to do so.
Soon, those rebellious mage guards appeared around him like ghosts.
"Where do you think you're going to run to!" Jiang Yi's already ferocious face was now twisted even more, as if possessed by a demon, extremely ugly, and the cold smile on his lips seemed to emanate a chill from the depths of hell.
For these Dharma Masters, capturing a student should have been a piece of cake, but the fact that it had caused them so much trouble was a direct challenge to their authority and completely contrary to their usual decisive and efficient style.
Although they may have been removed from the orthodox ranks of mage guardians, their hearts burned with an intense longing for the experiment to succeed, so that they could be reborn like phoenixes and regain recognition and respect.
"With just a few of you, do I need to run?" Mo Fan's deep eyes flashed with contempt. He looked at the eight imposing guards who were chasing after him, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
The laughter seemed to be mocking them, yet also to express absolute confidence in one's own strength.
Hearing Mo Fan's arrogant words, Jiang Yi raised her slender eyebrows slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
Indeed, Mo Fan's talent is as dazzling as the most brilliant star in the night sky.
He was born with two magic systems, and at a young age, he had reached the intermediate level in all four magic systems, which is extremely rare in the magic world.
His fire and lightning skills, in particular, have reached the maximum level, like two incredibly sharp swords.
Jiang Yi knew that any one of them, even herself, would be defeated in a one-on-one fight against Mo Fan's overwhelming magical power.
But Jiang Yi was no pushover either. These women had been together for many years, and through countless life-or-death battles, their teamwork had become as seamless and precise as a well-oiled machine, impeccable.
In her view, no matter how powerful Mo Fan was, he was still just a person. The outcome of this battle seemed to have been predetermined in her heart.
"Awoooooooo!!!"
Just as Jiang Yi was about to order the attack, a deafening wolf howl suddenly exploded through the jungle like a bolt from the blue.
The voice seemed to carry the majesty of an ancient wolf clan, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
The next moment, Jiang Yi's originally confident face instantly turned gloomy. She suddenly remembered that Mo Fan possessed a very powerful wolf summon creature.
However, before she could warn the others, a silver lightning bolt flashed, and the Silver Moon Demon Wolf, like a ferocious beast emerging from the underworld, pounced directly on the two guard mages with a chilling aura.
Before the two guard mages could even react, they were instantly torn apart by the Silver Moon Demon Wolf's sharp fangs and claws, falling into pools of blood.
"Form ranks!" Jiang Yi's face turned ashen with anger, but she was, after all, a veteran who had seen countless battles. She was used to the deaths of her comrades on the battlefield, and this was not the first time she had encountered such a tragic scene.
As she issued her authoritative command, the others, like well-trained soldiers, quickly moved towards Jiang Yi. Their eyes were filled with vigilance, and their magical energy fluctuated violently, ready to launch a deadly attack at any moment.
"Awooo~~~" The Silver Moon Wolf's blood-red eyes flashed with a fierce light. It didn't give these people a chance to breathe and charged straight at them.
"attack!"
At Jiang Yi's command, the remaining five Dharma Masters took action.
A series of icy blue lights flashed in the air, and ice locks appeared from all directions like countless serpents, coiling around the Silver Moon Wolf.
However, the Silver Moon Wolf's strong body was full of power. With its sharp claws as hard as steel, it tore the ice locks apart, and ice shards flew everywhere in the air.
Immediately afterwards, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, a thundercloud descended, and lightning bolts fell from the sky like the hammer of an angry Thor.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Under the extremely wide-ranging bombardment of lightning, some burn marks appeared on the originally smooth fur of the Silver Moon Wolf, and a burnt smell filled the air.
But this powerful summoned beast showed no sign of backing down; the lightning wounds did not affect its determination to charge forward.
The moment the Silver Moon Wolf approached, the ground in front of Jiang Yi and the others suddenly trembled violently, and the earth mage quickly summoned a solid rock barrier.
"Bang!"
The Silver Moon Wolf's powerful body slammed into the rock barrier, shattering the hard rock. However, the Silver Moon Wolf had clearly exhausted a lot of its strength, shaking its head, obviously no longer able to attack.
Just as Silver Moon Wolf retreated, Jiang Yi's keen intuition suddenly made her realize that something was wrong.
She was secretly shocked; the strength of the Silver Moon Wolf was indeed something she had underestimated before.
But she also understood that on Mo Fan's side, it wasn't just this wolf that was powerful.
"Rose Flame - Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!"
Sure enough, just as Jiang Yi was thinking, she turned around and saw that Mo Fan's hands were like dancing serpents of fire, with blazing rose flames rapidly gathering in his palms to form a star map.
The flames seemed to be karmic fire spewed from hell, carrying an aura of annihilation, as they blasted towards them from the ground below.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
They were positioned right at the center of the Nine Palaces explosion. Because they had been dealing with the Silver Moon Wolf, their defenses had become extremely weak. Now, under Mo Fan's sudden and fierce attack, they were all caught off guard.
The flames, like surging ocean waves, instantly engulfed them.
The flames were still burning, but Mo Fan's attacks did not stop.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his hands began to move again.
"Thousand-Pound Thunderbolt Wild Dance!"
The star map flickered, and countless strands of electricity, like silver threads, rapidly converged in the sky. As Mo Fan's majestic finger fell, the lightning plummeted like an angry python.
