Baxia was approaching rapidly. Qiu Zi noticed the ferocious Toten Beast was targeting it. It tried to break free from the surrounding humans and move to a safer location.

The three advisors were well aware of Baxia’s intentions, and were not going to let Qiu Zi escape. The advisor in the blue outfit cast a Super Lightning Spell. Sixteen lightning staves descended between the stormy clouds and the water around Qiu Zi. They followed Qiu Zi around while staying centered on him!

The sixteen lightning staves emitted a sacred light, lifting Qiu Zi up from the water as it was trying to escape. The impairing force from the staves raised the beast into the air like a puppet.

Qiu Zi let out a furious roar, trying its best to break free from the lightning staves.

It was not afraid of the humans’ Super Spells, but Baxia, who was charging at it so ferociously!

BANG!

Baxia burst out of the water like he had blasted his way through it. His enormous body kept growing to the size of a mountain, and covered the entire sky and the sun as he collapsed onto Qiu Zi.

Qiu Zi was unable to move. Its bones were nowhere as sturdy as Qiu Chi’s. Baxia’s ferocious blow smashed a destructive wave across Qiu Zi’s skin. Its backbone bent out of shape, as if it had been smashed into pieces around its waist.

Qiu Zi released a blast of red steam after it was badly injured. The steam spread rapidly and soon filled the space above the waters around it, spreading in the air like scorching flames. The Mages nearby immediately felt like they had been set on fire, their skin so dry that it was about to fall off. Even the liquid and blood in their bodies were evaporating!

The cloud of red steam spread toward the entrance of the strait. It swept across the Scarlet Soaring Demons that had reached Gaoqi Airport, who began venting the same red steam. The strange mist vaporized everything under the Scarlet Soaring Demon’s skin. They eventually collapsed and turned into a portion of the steam.

“It’s the Poisonous Red Steam, don’t let it reach the bridge!” The advisor in the blue outfit was startled when he saw the steam approaching the bridge.

If the Warrior-level Scarlet Soaring Demons were vaporized in such a short time, the civilians on the bridge were going to share the same fate. They would die as soon as they breathed in the steam!

The red steam was obviously Qiu Zi’s deadliest ability. It was using everything it had to flee for its life.

The Poisonous Red Steam was not much of a threat to the Super Mages and Baxia. The human Mages and Baxia could just focus on killing it. However, the steam would cause huge casualties once it reached the bridge and the island.

They might be able to kill Qiu Zi, yet it was going to drag down thousands of humans with it!

“That piece of s***, it’s threatening us with a suicide attack!” Zhao Manyan cursed.

Qiu Zi was currently a terrorist that was armed with bombs. If they forced it too much, it would detonate itself and spread the poisoned steam across the island. Baxia was very determined to kill Qiu Zi. An ancient Totem Beast, he was no longer as merciful and compassionate toward humans. He just wanted to kill Qiu Zi, so he was not too concerned about the poisonous steam.

Baxia did not mind, but Zhao Manyan thought otherwise. The steam was spreading quickly. The barrier the Mages had set up only protected the bridge, not the civilians. Many of them were going to be vaporized just like the Scarlet Soaring Demons.

Zhao Manyan would not allow it. Xiamen was a place full of beauties. He would rather die than watching the ladies turn into withered empty sacks of skin!

“Don’t force it too much, let it back out of the strait,” Zhao Manyan told Baxia.

Baxia let out a roar to express his resentment, using his actions to express his anger.

“Old turtle, what are you doing? I’m warning you, I’m your Totem Guardian. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll throw the wooden clapper away. You can wait for another hundred years to find someone suitable to be your new Totem Guardian!” Zhao Manyan snarled when he saw how stubborn Baxia was.

Damn it, every Totem Guardian was extremely close to their Totem Beast, yet his old turtle was aloof, arrogant, and proud. Zhao Manyan had enough of it. He was now a Super Mage. If he did not lift the Seal on the wooden clapper, this Totem Beast would still be getting bullied by the Disastrous Duo. He would not be able to defeat the big one, then pick on the small one!

“I promise you, I’ll help you kill the Disastrous Duo, but not today. Its steam is going to kill everyone here. You should be looking at the big picture instead,” Zhao Manyan said.

Baxia did not slow down. He insisted on delivering a huge blow to Qiu Zi, even if his skin was going to be badly burned by the steam!

The powerful beast grabbed Qiu Zi’s neck and lifted it into the air.

He pulled with a great force, snapping Qiu Zi’s neck and tail. More steam burst out of its body and spread toward the bridge and Gaoqi Airport. The Scarlet Soaring Demons in the path of the crimson cloud died in great numbers almost instantly. It was a terrifying sight.

Baxia’s anger erupted like a volcano, yet he managed to retain his rationality. After breaking Qiu Zi’s bones, he let out a furious roar and tossed the beast away from the strait!

Qiu Zi was like a poisonous red bomb when its body was contorted like that. It was thrown into the sea over six kilometers away…

The scorching air cooled down after the beast was thrown into the distance. Baxia stood in the water and let loose an infuriated roar into the sky after he missed out on the opportunity to kill Qiu Zi. The whole city trembled under his rage, including the sea monsters who were invading the island!
