Versatile Mage

Nanrong Xi was extremely shocked. He had used all his energy to form a Water Barrier and cast a Water Curtain, yet they were completely useless against Mo Fan’s Nine Palace: Fiery Serpent Dragons!

Circles of flames spread across the ocean. Their brilliance dyed the whole sky blazing red. The people that were watching the battle were terrified. The whole place was soon in chaos!

Each of the dragons was gigantic! The area of each dragon had exceeded the expectations of most Mages. Nanrong Xi was right in the middle of the fiery dragons, and suffered greatly from the scorching heat. He had no choice but to withdraw from the battle!

He barely made it to Gulangyu under the protection of a few layers of Water Curtains. The beach was already being devoured by the flames, and they had almost spread to the woods. Nanrong Xi stood behind the flames, his face covered in soot. He glared at his sister Nanrong Ni and said, “Did you really tell us not to worry about him? Look at how strong his Fire Element is!”

Nanrong Ni could not believe it, either. Mo Fan was not able to cast such a terrifying Fire Spell, even when he was Possessed by Little Flame Belle during the World College Tournament. The formidable aura of the fiery dragons was incredibly close to that of a Super Spell. There was no way they stood a chance against it!

Nanrong Xi looked at the people of the other renowned clans that had gathered along the shore on Gulangyu. He already knew that what they were doing had crossed the line; it was unlikely they could get it done now that Mo Fan had shown up!

“Pan Xi, you are on your own!” Nanrong Xi decisively chose to withdraw from the fight. He did not want to damage the Nanrong Clan’s reputation just for helping Pan Xi. They would end up as a laughing stock if the others knew they had failed to take out a single representative of the national team!

Pan Xi clenched his teeth. He was moments away from defeating Mu Ningxue and claiming the Ice Crystal Bow, yet Mo Fan just had to show up out of nowhere!

Most importantly, Mo Fan’s strength had improved at an insane rate too! Even Advanced Mages like Li Hongmei and Nanrong Xi had lost to him!

The strong heat waves were already surging for Pan Xi. He had failed to take Mu Ningxue out in time. The injuries that he had inflicted on her were not serious enough.

Pan Xi was filled with great remorse. He used to be able to kill Mu Ningxue easily, but he had failed to defeat her after so long. He doubted he would stand a chance against her if he was fighting her alone!

If he failed now, he would never be able to retrieve the Ice Crystal Bow!

Pan Xi was unwilling to admit defeat. Whenever he recalled how the woman had taken everything from him, a strong anger would rise inside him. His eyes were brimming with murderous intent as he glared at Mi Ningxue!

If he was unable to take it back, he would not allow the woman to have it either! He would destroy her once and for all!

Mu Ningxue was already injured from the effects of the Curse Element. The torturous spell was preventing her from concentrating. Her movements were a lot slower.

Pan Xi went up to Mu Ningxue and directly triggered the Sinister Spider Trap. The deadly red silks of the spiderweb tangled Mu Ningxue up and started drawing the energy of her soul away!

Mo Fan recognized the Sinister Spider Trap right away. He felt like his chest was about to erupt like a volcano when he saw Pan Xi using it against Mu Ningxue.

“You’re asking for it!” Mo Fan’s voice turned icy.

Mo Fan treated everything about Mu Ningxue preciously. He would not forgive Pan Xi if he dared to touch a single strand of Mu Ningxue’s hair, let alone damage her soul, which would influence her lifespan!

“Wrath of the Flame Belle!” A blazing red line swept across the sky like a trail of blood, and erupted into flames!

The flames did not spread out like the ones that had set the ocean on fire. They started pouring down like a waterfall at Mo Fan’s enraged roar!

The flames in the sky took the shape of a long river. As they were falling from the sky, theri waves filled the space above Gulangyu, painting the sea and the tall buildings of the city red. As the flames poured down, it felt like the God of Flames in Heaven had kicked his furnace over to burn the mundane world into ashes!

The formidable flames surged at Pan Xi, who was channeling his Curse Spell. Pan Xi lifted his gaze and saw Mo Fan’s bloodshot eyes and the burning funeral being held specifically for him, made up of scorching lava, raging flames, and fiery whirlpools…

Pan Xi was trying to take Mu Ningxue’s life, meaning that he did not have a chance to set up a defense. When Mo Fan dove at him like a great fire descending from the sky, he finally realized he was the one that was about to die, instead of Mu Ningxue!

His eyes were filled with disbelief. He had not believed Mo Fan possessed such extraordinary strength, nor had he believed Mo Fan would dare kill him in a place like this!

However, when the lava burned through Pan Xi’s skin and poured into his body, eating his blood and destroying his organs, he finally realized amid his agony that Mo Fan was a reckless maniac!

Mo Fan was not actually a maniac, but if anyone dared to harm Mu Ningxue, he would become scarier than a maniac that anyone could possibly imagine!

Mo Fan had killed the man mercilessly even under the eyes of thousands of people on the cruise ships and the members of the renowned clans along the shore watching him. Mo Fan was more than willing to crush the soul of any scum who was trying to take away Mu Ningxue’s soul!

—

The burning waterfall continued to pour down and set a huge chunk of the sea on fire. The fire only died out after burning for a long time.

Pan Xi had received the flames all by himself. Not even the ashes of his body were left, let alone his remains.

Nanrong Xi and Li Hongmei shuddered upon seeing this. They were starting to feel a little scared.

However, it seemed like Mo Fan had no intention of letting it go so easily. He rode the flames and approached Nanrong Xi and Li Hongmei with a fierce glare.

“What…what do you want!?” Li Hongmei was terrified.

Nanrong Ni was scared, too. Both she and Nanrong Xi kept backing away.

Nanrong Ni was familiar with Mo Fan’s temper. The man was reckless enough to do anything when he lost his temper. He would disregard all the rules and laws!

“How dare you start a fight and murder a Mage brutally in the territory of the Donghai Magic Association? You have committed an unforgivable crime!” an old Mage came from the distance.

Nanrong Xi and Li Hongmei let out a relieved sigh when they saw the person.

It was Elder Lin Ze of the Donghai Magic Association. He had shown up just in time!

Lin Ze was a Super Mage. No matter how strong Mo Fan was as an Advanced Mage, there was no way he would stand a chance against a Super Mage!

Mo Fan had indeed killed someone in front of so many people. Lin Ze could use it as an excuse to arrest Mo Fan. There was no escape for him!

“Screw you, as an Elder of the Magic Association, you didn’t even show up when they were trying to kill her, and now you have come to utter all this nonsense…” Mo Fan cursed Elder Lin Ze right away.

“I was busy with some research in a hidden chamber, so I couldn’t hear anything. However, I happened to see you committing a murder when I came out. You better surrender, and I’ll give you my word that you won’t suffer much,” Elder Lin Ze replied sternly.

Mu Ningxue’s eyes were brimming with rage after hearing Elder Lin Ze’s words!

Gulangyu was where the headquarters of the Donghai Magic Association was located. It was meant to have the highest security, yet apart from the fact that not a single patrolling team had shown up even though the fight had been going on for so long, the fight did not trigger any magic formation protecting the island either! Many Mages on the shore across the harbor had seen the battle. Even the City Mages had gathered, but they had no right to intervene with the fight since it was taking place on the territory of the Donghai Magic Association!

If Li Hongmei, Pan Xi, and Nanrong Xi did not obtain permission from Lin Ze, how would they even have a chance to kill someone here? Mu Ningxue would not have ended up in such a pinch, either…

It was obvious that the invitation from the Donghai Magic Association was just a cover for the murderous plot against her!

This Elder Lin Ze was absolutely detestable!

Mo Fan had no idea what Mu Ningxue had been through, but he could easily tell that Elder Lin Ze was on Pan Xi’s side. He was amused when the old man was trying to falsely accuse him in a righteous manner.

“Bola!” Mo Fan had no intention of wasting his time any further!

“I’m here!” the vampire who only just arrived came up to Mo Fan. His black coat had basically concealed his appearance, revealing only a pair of red leather shoes and a pale face.

“Beat the crap out of this old prick, make sure he loses all his teeth. Leaving him half-dead will do,” Mo Fan said.

“Acknowledged!” Bola knew he had failed to fulfill his obligations, as he had failed to protect Mu Ningxue. He was well aware of how angry Mo Fan was!

The only way Bola could help Mo Fan cool his temper was by beating the crap out of the abusive Elder Lin Ze!

“You’re unbelievable, you are going to pay for what you’ve done…” Elder Lin Ze was infuriated. How could he allow an imbecile to act arrogantly in the territory of the Donghai Magic Association!?

“One more word, and you’re going to lose your leg!” Mo Fan retorted.

“Hehe, not a problem,” Bola sneered eerily.

Elder Lin Ze was a Super Mage, and he had his own pride. He was treating Mo Fan’s threats with disdain. A mere representative of the national team dared threaten him?

Elder Lin Ze was about to subdue Mo Fan when a slight breeze swept past. The man in a black coat had suddenly shown up behind him. He began to break out in a cold sweat as a great chill ran down his spine after he sensed the dangerous breath on his neck!
