"How is this… how was he able to make a breakthrough in this situation?" Jiang Yi was utterly astounded.
Even the most daring soldiers in their ranks would not dare to act so boldly after being surrounded by demon beasts. A Magician could not be disturbed by any external factor during the process, as they had to put one hundred percent focus on it.
He was surrounded by hundreds of Giant Lizards, who could easily take his life with a single bite!
Wasn't he worried that the Swift Star Wolf would fail to protect him, allowing just a single Giant Lizard to break through? Didn't he doubt that his life would be at risk while he was trying to expand his Nebula?
The fiery Rose Flame burst out above the debris, engulfing his entire body. His appearance, similar to burning lava, was more imposing than the heat of the flames.
"Swift Star Wolf, well done. Leave it all to me!" Mo Fan wore a smile. It was relatively wild under the illumination of the flames.
The Swift Star Wolf quickly withdrew to Mo Fan's side.
The raging flames were quickly withdrawn under Mo Fan's control, including the heat wave surging toward the surroundings and the fire spreading across the ground. They were rapidly drawn to his right wrist.
His wrist was wrapped by a ring of flames, which were swaying slowly to the wind.
"Rose Flame!"
"Fiery Fist!"
Mo Fan's hair was standing upright in the overflowing flow of energy. Even his eyes burned like fire in the process.
He threw a mighty punch from the top of the debris. An enormous amount of energy was directed straight into the ground.
The energy was transferred at an insane speed. The surrounding ground began to crack open as if it could not hold the energy within it.
"Nine Halls!"
The energy finally reached its limit. Under Mo Fan's ferocious roar, pillars of flames began to spurt upward in the area a hundred meters around him!
The pillars of flame were bursting out from deep beneath the ground. Not only did they cause lava to surge to the surface, they had also transformed into burning pillars.
The first one appeared right on Mo Fan's body. The flames rising from his body sprang into the air!
The second pillar appeared a great distance ahead. The two pillars were around thirty meters apart, but it felt like the area between the two pillars was being utterly destroyed.
The third pillar appeared behind Mo Fan, which was parallel to the pillar on Mo Fan's body and the pillar in front of him.
Another great explosion took place.
Three pillars parallel to the ones that had sprouted from the ground appeared on both sides as the ground cracked open once again, which meant there were six other fire pillars bursting into the air from underground.
The first three pillars had already eliminated every single Giant Lizard within a hundred meters around Mo Fan, almost a hundred of them.
However, the remaining six pillars had brought utter destruction across the place. The troops of Giant Lizards were burned into black ashes under the blazing fire, including the piles of corpses on the ground.
Nine Halls!
The nine pillars were the formation of Nine Halls!
The fiery pillars were bright red due to the Rose Flame. The Giant Lizards were gradually burned into ashes, regardless of if they were alive or dead. The pillars were around five or six floors high, the Giant Lizards looked incredibly tiny and helpless before them.
Jiang Yi was also an Intermediate Magician who had ranked up to the third-tier, but she did not have a Soul Seed.
Mo Fan's Soul Seed had made his Fiery Fist: Nine Halls extremely powerful. It was strong enough to annihilate an entire Giant Lizard's den!
They were still surrounded by the Giant Lizards, but Mo Fan's surroundings were totally empty, with no sign of flesh or corpses, just piles of black ashes.
On a side note, there was a Warrior-level Tyrant Lizard among the troops of Giant Lizard. It had been confidently making its way towards its prey, but after its whole body was scorched by the Fiery Fist: Nine Halls, it immediately fled for its life.
Even a Tyrant Lizard with an outstanding defense was unable to endure the damage from the Fiery Fist: Nine Halls. It would share the same fate as the Giant Lizards if it did not run away in time.
The Giant Lizards surrounding Mo Fan seemed to be commandeered by the Tyrant Lizard that had fled. As their commander ran away, the Giant Lizards in the distance remained in place with blank faces. None of them were daring enough to move forward.
"This is our chance, time to run!" Mo Fan climbed onto the Swift Star Wolf's back while the Giant Lizards were dazzled.
The space around the Swift Star Wolf was more than enough for him to gather his momentum up for a sprint. He dashed forward and used the scorched ground as a springboard, jumping onto the collapsed building nearby.
He ran across the roof before dropping down. Even though the path below was densely packed with Giant Lizards, the fearless Swift Star Wolf ran across using their bodies as stepping stones for a short distance.
The Giant Lizards revealed their fangs and tried to snap at him. There were times when Mo Fan almost felt that the Swift Star Wolf's tail was being bitten, but in the end, he was too fast for the sluggish Giant Lizards, who only ended up biting the air and the fur on the Swift Star Wolf's tail.
The Swift Star Wolf only sprinted across the Giant Lizards for three seconds, but the fear and excitement from it urged Mo Fan to curl his legs upward subconsciously.
Brother, don't pull such a prank on me next time. I almost shit my pants!
The Swift Star Wolf turned the corner and arrived at another street covered in shadows, with only a few Giant Lizards around...
Mo Fan instantly released the Swift Star Wolf into the Summoning Plane. He hugged the walls and immediately cast Fleeing Shadow.
Mo Fan had been keeping an eye out at the sky throughout the whole battle. He was not pretending to be an artistic emotional young man before his death. He was waiting for the sun to poke out from the clouds!
The buildings would only cast shadows when there was sunlight!
Mo Fan had disappeared around the corner, and when the Giant Lizards chasing after them reached the spot, they had already lost sight of the human and the wolf.
Meanwhile, the Giant Lizards who were being attracted to the street due to the sounds produced from the battle had not seen Mo Fan and the Swift Star Wolf, nor did they notice a lump of shadow moving between the buildings. They continued to move toward the group of soldiers who were busy killing their comrades.
Jiang Yi had seen Mo Fan disappearing around the corner. However, by the time she reached there, Mo Fan was no longer there...
He had vanished into thin air!
Even though he had only turned the corner, and the entire street was still filled with Giant Lizards, the demon beasts were only rushing toward her men. They did not act as if they had seen anyone rushing past them.
"He's gone?" Jiang Yi stared into the distance in disbelief.
Jiang Yi initially assumed that there was an element of luck when she learned that the kid had saved Bo City and fought back against the Black Vatican. However, she was more convinced that that was not the case now.
She had lost sight of Mo Fan!
Her instincts were telling her that Mo Fan had escaped with some hidden abilities. She would be able to track him down eventually, but the problem was, her troop was still surrounded by the Giant Lizards. She did not even know if they could make it out alive!
