“Nirvana Ice Domain!”

Mu Ningxue’s Nirvana Ice Domain grew stronger as soon as the Dreadful Curse Cerberus’ aura weakened. It gradually surpassed the aura of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus.

She had managed to implant the frosty aura in the Dreadful Curse Cerberus’ body, making it easier for her to restrain the creature’s movement with her Ice Magic. Her ice was finally able to control the pace of the battle after it gradually penetrated the creature’s body through its wounds.

The temperature of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus’s blood dropped faster the lower it was. Its body temperature soon dropped to half of its initial level!

It was very crucial to restrain the creature’s speed, finally allowing Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan to dodge the creature’s attacks. It also allowed Mu Ningxue to kite the Dreadful Curse Cerberus with her agile Wind Element and ability to manipulate the terrain with her Ice Element.

“Tyrant Call!”

Mo Fan changed his approach to work better with Mu Ningxue’s Ice Magic. He no longer used his Fire. The continuous lightning strikes left Lightning Tyrant Scars all over the Dreadful Curse Cerberus.

The yellow Lightning Tyrant Scars glowed wildly on the Dreadful Curse Cerberus in many places. However, Houndman had no clue that they were going to trigger the Tyrant Call!

Mo Fan was smart with his approach. He triggered the Tyrant Call as soon as the Dreadful Curse Cerberus was done with its attack. The lightning strike triggered by more than a hundred stacks of the Lightning Tyrant Scars slammed down from the sky and landed right on the Dreadful Curse Cerberus. The powerful blast left a huge scorched hole on the creature’s back!

The hole was so big that the bones inside the creature’s body were visible. The ice poured into the open wound on the Dreadful Curse Cerberus’ body without restraint!

Mu Ningxue was better at fighting battles of attrition, since her Ice would grow stronger as the fight went on. She confidently directed her frost to lunge into the Dreadful Curse Cerberus’ body after Mo Fan blasted its skin apart. They could easily tell that the creature was getting weaker.

The creature’s aura had weakened, because it was dying.

Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue had perfectly utilized the strength of their Lightning Tyrant and Nirvana Ice Domains. In addition to that, Mo Fan’s Lightning was significantly stronger than normal Lightning Mages. Since the Dreadful Curse Cerberus could no longer use its Blood Barrier, Mo Fan continuously summoned wild lightning down on it. The heads of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus were severely blistered from the continuous strokes.

Blood was pouring out from the creature’s wounds. Seriously injured by the ice and lightning, the Dreadful Curse Cerebus still attacked furiously, but Mu Ningxue dodged it with ease while triggering the Storm Trap that she had left behind.

A powerful wind with bearing frozen blades swept the gargantuan Dreadful Curse Cerberus into the air. The strong blades sliced at the creature, leaving even bigger wounds all over it.

Houndman was also in a miserable state after losing the protection of its blood barrier. He was covered in blood, just like the Dreadful Curse Hell Cerberus!

“Damn it, damn it, who do you think you are to challenge me? Die!” Houndman felt like he was about to lose his mind. He had actually lost to two students that had just graduated, when he was basically dominating the Advanced Level. The Dreadful Curse Cerberus that he was extremely proud of was suffering from serious injuries!

Houndman jumped down from the Dreadful Curse Cerberus when he saw the creature was struggling to rise to its feet. He was going to take Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue on with his magic.

“Why do I think the dog is all you got? You’re useless on your own!” Mo Fan grabbed Houndman’s throat with Telekinesis when he saw the man charging at him recklessly.

The Curse Spell that Houndman just cast dissipated straightaway. He had almost suffocated from Mo Fan’s powerful grip.

“Why aren’t you acting smug now!?” Mo Fan raised his other hand and gave Houndman a great slap to the face.

The slap strengthened by the Space Element was not something a human Mage could possibly endure. Houndman immediately lost two of his front teeth. He spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was beyond recognition after taking the slap.

“This is for bringing your dogs to my territory, you piece of shit!” Mo Fan gave Houndman a huge slap to the other side of his face before he could even react. His face was swollen even further after losing a few more teeth!

 1“That’s what you get for trying to be a bully under your dog’s protection! Do you really think you can lay your hands on the Totem Beast?” Mo Fan did not show any mercy. He slapped Houndman on the face again, knocking him unconscious.

Houndman’s face was covered in blood, swollen like a roasted pig. When he regained consciousness, he realized Mo Fan was still holding him in the air. He immediately fainted, overwhelmed by his anger.

Mo Fan never cared about righteousness and justice. When Mu Ningxue asked him what they should do about the Dreadful Curse Cerberus, Mo Fan decisively cast a Sky Lightning Claw to tear the Dreadful Curse Cerberus into pieces!

The Dreadful Curse Cerberus was extremely strong. It posed a great threat even when he was teaming up with Mu Ningxue. Why would he bother sparing the creature’s life?

“You’re still pretending to be unconscious!?” Mo Fan woke Houndman up with another slap to the face. Houndman could no longer speak properly after losing his teeth. His nose and mouth were basically mashed flat and looked like one big smear.

When Houndman saw the Dreadful Curse Cerberus that he had spent all his life raising torn to pieces by lightning, his eyes rolled up as he fainted in despair!

 1Killing the Summoned Beast of a Mage using the Summoning Element as their primary Element was the same as crippling their cultivation. It was unlikely that they could raise the same Summoned Beasts again. Houndman was in so much despair that he fainted straightaway!

“Did you really just wake him up just so he could see the dead body of his Summoned Beast?” Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes at Mo Fan.

 1Mo Fan grinned; he was enjoying torturing the man!

When Mo Fan was about to say something, three brilliant lights floated out of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus’ body. They seemed to be confused after leaving the body, but after the Little Loach Pendant shuddered, they immediately flew toward Mo Fan.

“Are those…” Mo Fan seemed surprised.

It was already a great fortune if he could obtain a Soul Essence from killing a Commander-level creature. To his amazement, killing the Dreadful Curse Cerberus actually gave him three Soul Essences!

The Dreadful Curse Cerberus was clearly one of the strongest Commander-level creatures he had ever fought against, meaning that the three Soul Essences were most likely better than normal Soul Essences too. He could definitely make a fortune by selling them!

 1Mo Fan burst out laughing.

Mu Ningxue was unable to see the Soul Essences that Mo Fan had collected. She assumed Mo Fan had started to lose himself as he indulged in the pleasure of torturing the man.

—

“Nighthawk, how are you doing?” Mo Fan showed up while dragging the unconscious Houndman along the ground.

Nighthawk turned around. He was surprised to see Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.

“Where’s the Dreadful Curse Cerberus?” Nighthawk asked.

“Dead,” Mo Fan said.

“You killed it?” Nighthawk found it hard to believe.

Nighthawk still had a lingering fear for the Dreadful Curse Cerberus. He could still feel pain from the scar on his neck every time he recalled the past. Even though he might be strong enough to take down the creature now, it was still an unhealable wound…

“You actually killed the Dreadful Curse Cerberus…” It took Nighthawk some time to collect his thoughts. He shook his head helplessly and said, “You two are seriously monsters.”

Nighthawk finally understood why China had come first in the World College Tournament. These two were just insanely strong if they could kill even a Dreadful Curse Cerberus!

“There’s nothing we can’t beat when us husband and wife work together!” Mo Fan laughed.

 1Mu Ningxue was too lazy to refute it. She went over to Yu Shishi instead.

 1Nighthawk had taken care of Zeng Guanglie, Ke Lingxi, and the underlings. He did not have any problem dealing with them, considering how strong he was. He could even take out Houndman too, if it was not for his subconscious fear of the Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds.

“Nighthawk, how dare you help outsiders against the members of the Magic Association? I’ll tell the council about it! They will make you pay for it!” Ke Lingxi barked like a dog. He had recognized Nighthawk.

“Ke Lingxi, you knew they were after the Totem Beast, yet you still tried to help them steal it. Feel free to explain yourself to the Chairman. I can’t wait to see how many years in prison you will be sentenced to since you, a committee member of the Research Union, has been giving important information about our country’s Totem Beasts to outsiders!” Nighthawk replied disdainfully.

The Research Union had clearly crossed the line. If they were only after Yu Shishi to research the unique scent that stopped the demon creatures from attacking her, no one could possibly do anything to them. However, things were different as soon as a Totem Beast was involved!

Even though people were not willing to mention the Totem Beasts, they were still the heritage of their country. Since the incident that had involved the Black Totem Snake, these Totem Beasts had been under protection, like the ancient heritage of their country, yet Ke Lingxi still dared to trade the information of the Magic Association to the people of the Asia Magic Association!

“Ke Lingxi, you know what you’ve done. You better tell us who’s behind it. Perhaps the Chairman might go easy on you. Otherwise, there’s a chance that you might be charged with treason!” Nighthawk said imperiously. Ke Lingxi’s threat was clearly useless against him.

Ke Lingxi was dumbfounded. As a matter of fact, he knew there would be great consequences if Houndman was caught, since he was not a Mage from their country…

“What’s going on here?” Mu Ningxue was confused after hearing Nighthawk’s words.

“Continent Councilman Su Lu of the Asia Magic Association isn’t on friendly terms with Chairman Shao Zheng. Su Lu is using the Donghai Magic Association to search for Totem Beasts. If Ke Lingxi is willing to testify that Su Lu is behind it, Chairman Shao Zheng will easily make Su Lu pay for it!” Mo Fan told Mu Ningxue.

“Then what about Yu Shishi…” Mu Ningxue hesitated.

“Don’t worry, Shao Zheng has left me in charge of the Totem Beasts. I’m pretty much the ambassador of Totem Beasts now, so Yu Shishi is under my care. No one apart from the Councilmen can lay a hand on her,” Mo Fan declared.
