Chapter 160 The body is on the run, the soul is adrift
"How about I join your Li family?" Jiang Han said with a smile, gripping the Frozen Snow Dragon Blade tightly in his hand.
"You're clever, kid, but you've got the wrong idea. You thought you could use our conversation to construct a star map and ambush me? I can only say you've got the wrong idea," Li Mingxuan said calmly.
A series of fire-themed star charts appeared around Li Mingxuan. Countless stars and star trails intertwined in the star charts, eventually forming a magnificent fire-themed constellation. The moment the huge constellation appeared, the white clouds in the sky were dyed crimson.
"I hope you don't die during the Heavenly Flame Funeral, otherwise we'll lose an excellent experimental subject."
As soon as Li Mingxuan finished speaking, a pair of light wings unfolded behind Jiang Han and kept flashing. When passing by Mo Fan, he waved his right hand and a chain of ice crystals steadily wrapped around Mo Fan's body. The light wings propelled the two of them away into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
"Oh crap, Jiang Han, I don't want to be a kite!!!"
Mo Fan's screams echoed far and wide. Jiang Han flapped his wings and sped ahead, while Mo Fan was tethered by ice chains and swung wildly behind. It was clear that his body was on the run, but his soul was wandering!
Li Mingxuan watched Jiang Han and Mo Fan flee without rushing to chase them. Instead, he controlled the fiery clouds in the sky to unleash a rain of fire. At first, it was delicate and silent, but then it became extremely rapid! The rain of fire grew larger and larger. It was more like a meteor shower than a rain of fire. The burning meteorites fell to the ground and could instantly incinerate the surrounding flammable materials into ashes.
Each meteorite was no less powerful than the initial-level magic Fire Burst. Hundreds upon hundreds of Fire Bursts fell simultaneously, making the already dilapidated Golden Forest Wasteland even more desolate. Jiang Han and Mo Fan dodged left and right in the meteor shower, looking quite disheveled.
"Damn it, running away like this isn't going to work. Jiang Han, why don't we fight him?" Mo Fan shouted.
"Remember the giant lizard pseudo-dragon we encountered at the city hall? If we lure it there, we can sit back and watch the show." Jiang Han said, then grabbed—or rather, dragged—Mo Fan and sped off towards the area south of Jinlin Wasteland City, towards the aura of the giant lizard-headed demon.
How could Mo Fan not remember the terrifying monster, the Giant Lizard Pseudo-Dragon? Just one Pseudo-Dragon almost wiped out the teams from Pearl and Imperial Academy. Just how terrifying would the Giant Lizard Pseudo-Dragon, which feeds on Pseudo-Dragons, be?
Mo Fan swallowed hard, feeling a little panicked. If things went wrong, he and Jiang Han would be wiped out completely.
"Chase them! We can't let them get away!" Li Mingxuan commanded the remaining mage guards to pursue Jiang Han and Mo Fan.

Meanwhile, the other students who scattered and fled were being chased by Jiang Yi and his dozen or so mage guards. Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing, the two girls, panicked as they ran with their teammates. Liao Mingxuan, running and cursing, shouted, "You bunch of bastards, how dare you attack me! Do you know who my father is? My father is Liao Feng of the Imperial Capital Magic Association! When I get back to the capital, I'll make you all pay for what you did today!!"
"Oh, since that's the case, then I can't let you live. Qin Qing, Hu Luo, make your move and grant him his wish," Jiang Yi said coldly.
"Yes." The two guardian mages following behind Jiang Yi accepted the order and quickly constructed a star map. Once the star map was completed, a huge thundercloud appeared above Liao Mingxuan's head.
"It's a level three lightning strike, Liao Mingxuan, get out of the way!"
Sensing the thunderous aura brewing within the thunderclouds, Mingcong, who was running ahead, shouted...
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang resounded in the sky, and a huge roar came from the thunderclouds. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck Liao Mingxuan. Liao Mingxuan was still grateful for Mingcong's reminder. Liao Mingxuan quickly took out a bronze mirror magic tool from his pocket. The lightning struck the bronze mirror magic tool, splashing countless bolts of lightning.
"If I don't die this time, you'll all be waiting for my revenge!!!" Liao Mingxuan laughed maniacally from behind the bronze mirror.
This bronze mirror magic tool was a life-saving defensive magic tool given to him by his father, Liao Feng, before the training began.
Faced with Liao Mingxuan's maniacal laughter, Qin Qing and Hu Luo felt utterly humiliated. They increased their magical energy input, and the thunderclouds in the sky surged again, unleashing wave after wave of lightning. Gradually, cracks began to appear on the bronze mirror. Liao Mingxuan's smile froze instantly, and he prayed inwardly, "Hold on, you must hold on!"
But the more you try to avoid something, the more likely it is to happen. The cracks on the bronze mirror grew larger and larger, and finally, with a loud bang, it shattered into several pieces under the bombardment of lightning, and Liao Mingxuan was also exposed to the lightning.
A deafening roar followed, leaving a large crater in the ground. Deep within the crater, Liao Mingxuan, his body charred black, cried out, barely alive, "Save me! Save me!"
Before Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and the others could come to their rescue, Qin Qing and Hu Luo unleashed their thunderbolts once more.
Liao Mingxuan, who was already lying in the pit on the verge of death, was instantly turned into a rain of blood by this lightning bolt. Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing, two girls who were nearby, were also splattered with blood.
People who were alive just moments ago turned into a rain of blood in the blink of an eye. How could the two girls possibly hold back?
"Ugh!!" Both girls couldn't help but gag.
While Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing were vomiting, Master Wei came up behind them and, without any mercy, kicked them to the ground and handcuffed them. Xu Dalong, Xiaofeng, and other boys saw this and wanted to help, but Mu Ningxue stopped them.
"Get out of here! We can't risk everyone's lives just to save those two," Mu Ningxue said coldly.
"Yes!!" Xu Dalong, Xiaofeng, and the other boys gritted their teeth and said.
They hated that they weren't strong enough; if they were strong enough, this situation wouldn't have happened.
Mu Ningxue quickly released several ice locks to block Jiang Yi and the others' steps, while Mu Nujiao helped Ai Tutu and the others continue to escape into the distance.
But as they ran, Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and the others at the front stopped. It wasn't that they didn't want to run, but that they couldn't. More than twenty berserker demonic apes of servant level, and even a bloodthirsty demonic ape of warrior level, blocked their path. Although these demonic apes couldn't kill them, they would slow down their escape. Once the group of guardian mages caught up with them, they would still die.
"Damn it, let's fight these mage guards!" Xu Dalong said angrily.
"We're going to die anyway, so maybe if we fight them, we might have a chance of winning," Xiaofeng chimed in.
Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. We're mid-level mages just like them. Who will live and who will die is still uncertain until the very end."
"They are Dharma Masters, they've all survived countless battles against demons and monsters. Do you really think we can be their match?" Bai Tingting whispered.
Song Xia patted Bai Tingting on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't boost their morale and diminish our own. We still have Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue on our side, so we still have a good chance of winning against them."
"Let's clear out these demonic apes first, then focus all our efforts on attacking those guardian mages."
"Ice Lock, Bone Crusher!!"
As soon as Mu Ningxue finished speaking, the ice-type star map beneath her feet appeared. Several ice chains emerged from the ground and tightly bound the berserk demonic ape. With a series of cracking sounds, all the bones on the berserk demonic ape's body were crushed by the ice chains, and it finally collapsed to the ground, losing its life.
Meanwhile, the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape, a warrior-level creature, was held back by Mu Nujiao, Song Xia, Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and others, preventing it from supporting the other demon apes. After the berserk demon ape was dealt with, Mu Ningxue, together with Mu Nujiao, Song Xia, and others, killed the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape on the spot.
