“Is that so? I wonder if you can withstand another blow?” Mo Fan asked rhetorically.

The Elder of the Shadow Tribe could only last for a limited time. Mo Fan was not willing to waste even a second. He was only talking to Zu Xiangtian so he could catch his breath. His body was struggling to bear up under the Elder of the Shadow Tribe’s outstanding strength.

The cloak on Mo Fan’s back beat wildly, like a pair of wings. He vanished into thin air.

The hooded cloak suddenly appeared above Zu Xiangtian a second later. The Demon Saber thrust at Zu Xiangtian fiercely.

Zu Xiangtian was also a Wind Mage, and immediately Summoned a gust of wind to carry him into the distance when he realized something did not feel right.

The Demon Saber stuck into the water with overwhelming force!

Its black Aura turned into ferocious flames that devoured the water, like a meteorite had just fallen into the sea.

Zu Xiangtian was moving very quickly, yet he still could not outrun the flames. The powerful impact knocked him over a kilometer away from the Floating Reefs Battleground.

The Demon Saber continued to chase after him after the astonishing blow!

The Blade slashed horizontally, leaving a huge crack between the fortress and the sky. It felt like the force was about to tear a crack between the dimensions!

Zu Xiangtian was flying around with his Wind Wings, all lit up by a purple glow, but could only run away from the Demon Saber like a stray dog. Zu Xiangtian had no choice but to use the power of the Wind Necklace he was wearing to further increase his speed!

His speed might be impressive, yet he could only run from the Demon Saber, which was not giving him any chance to catch his breath!

Mo Fan would occasionally turn into a Cloak weaving through the darkness, or merge with the Demon Saber as it was swinging mercilessly. If Zu Xiangtian had not had so many pieces of outstanding magic Equipment that saved his life multiple times, the Demon Saber would have repeatedly torn him into pieces!

—

“Who said Zu Xiangtian was unbeatable just then? Would someone unbeatable be running around the battlefield now?”

“Why do I feel like Mo Fan’s strength is even crazier? That Demon Blade could instantly kill any of us!”

Most of the spectators were young Mages. They felt like their understanding of magic was being toppled when they saw Zu Xiangtian going from displaying his outstanding strength to being chased around by Mo Fan like a pitiful dog.

Why was their magic so different from what these two were practicing?

Zu Xiangtian’s Body-Borrowing Curse Art had already exceeded the usual principles of a magic duel, yet Mo Fan’s ability to switch between an evasive Cloak and a Demon Blade was even more shocking. The crowd had a feeling these two duelists had come from a different planet!

“Mo Fan is being himself again… We only caught a glimpse of the Elder of the Shadow Tribe on Tianshan Mountain,” Jiang Yu sighed.

“I didn’t expect his Shadow Element to be so strong already,” Guan Yu also sighed helplessly.

He was still stuck in front of the door of the Super Level. If he did not break through any time soon, he would never catch up to Mo Fan!

“Zu Xiangtian’s Wind Element is quite impressive too. I would have died to the Demon Blade if I were him…”

—

The Councilmen were initially treating the fight as a duel between two juniors, but their expressions had changed completely.

“Zhu Meng, are we getting too old?” Councilman Shi Liang muttered as he watched Mo Fan dashing all over the place.

“I have the same feeling, too. I’m starting to feel a little embarrassed of myself after seeing how strong that kid has become. He was just a little chick when I first met him in Hangzhou, but I feel like I couldn’t beat him very easily if I were to fight him now,” Zhu Meng admitted.

Zhu Meng was based in Hangzhou, which was very close to Feiniao Headquarters City. There was no chance he would miss out on such an epic duel. He had gone back to Hangzhou when Mo Fan did not show up yesterday, but he had come immediately when he heard Mo Fan had finally appeared.

Zhu Meng could not help but think Mo Fan was a young monster after seeing his Shadow Element. He would soon be able to fight old Super Mages like them in no time!

“Zu Xiangtian is hanging on, too. They are both rare talents of our country,” Councilman Shi Liang observed.

“Zu Xiangtian is now an Adjudicator of the Sacred City. He’s getting a lot of support from the Archangels, so it’s normal for him to be this strong, but Mo Fan… it’s incredible how strong he has become without receiving any support!” Zhu Meng had been watching Mo Fan’s growth, so he had higher hopes for Mo Fan.

It was still too early to decide who was the winner, however!

Zu Xiangtian’s Wind Element was very impressive. Mo Fan was unable to inflict serious damage on him after a few rounds. As the battle dragged on, the Elder of the Shadow Tribe began feeling a little uncomfortable after overstaying in the world of the living. Most importantly, it was a huge burden for Mo Fan to be Possessed by the Elder of the Shadow Tribe. In the end, he had no choice but to send the Elder of the Shadow Tribe back to the Dark Plane.

Zu Xiangtian was obviously not stupid, strategically withdrawing from the fight while his opponent was too strong. As a Curse Mage, Zu Xiangtian knew the Elder of the Shadow Tribe could not Possess Mo Fan for long!

The Elder of the Shadow Tribe was too strong. Zu Xiangtian did not even dare to use his third form, too worried that the Elder of the Shadow Tribe would destroy it with just a few moves.

Withdrawing temporarily was his best option!

Unfortunately, Zu Xiangtian had to use up most of his important magic Equipment to protect himself. He could only rely on his own strength now!

Luckily, he still had two chances to use the Body-Borrowing Curse Art. Zu Xiangtian was surprised that he had not forced Mo Fan to use his strongest Lightning Element when he himself had already used the Body-Borrowing Curse Art twice!

He swore he was going to kill the person who provided him with Mo Fan’s information. He had almost died to the Elder of the Shadow Tribe because the person told him that he only had to watch out for Mo Fan’s Lightning Element!

“The Wind Element is such a nuisance.” Mo Fan stood on a building, watching Zu Xiangtian flying in the sky in the distance.

Wind Mages had a tactic everyone knew about: running away when they were outmatched!

A Wind Mage who insisted on running away could easily shake off an enemy, even if their enemy was stronger. Mo Fan clearly remembered Zu Xiangtian using a Super Wind Spell when they first met in the little village in Greece.

Zu Xiangtian’s Wind Element would naturally have improved over the course of half a year!
