The blood robe Mo Fan wore could shift between spirit and physical form. Just now, he had transformed into a spirit body and avoided Zhao He's attack.
After all, Zhao He's flames were merely ordinary fire. If they reached the level of spiritual fire, they might have been able to harm Mo Fan's spirit body.
Besides, Bloodthirsty Soul Extraction was currently capped at Servant-level. Once Mo Fan upgraded the Blood-robed Fierce Ghost's Superior Soul Shadow, the skill's limit would rise.
After dodging the Fire Seed, Mo Fan dispelled his spirit form. After all, spirit bodies had one weakness: Curse Magic.
"What?!"
Zhao He was stunned. Mo Fan had actually emerged completely unharmed. He then looked at the blood-red robe draped over Mo Fan and muttered to himself, Armor Magic Gear?
"Crimson Moon Lightning Seal Fury Strike!!"
Mo Fan was not the kind of person who would take a beating without striking back. As soon as he emerged from the dust cloud, he unleashed a Level Three Thunder Seal. Scarlet lightning danced wildly in his hand!
The Red Moon Thunder Source provided roughly a 3.5-fold boost, placing it right between a Spirit Seed and a Soul Seed.
The violent lightning twisted into a thunderous python as thick as a water barrel and lunged straight at Zhao He. Horror filled Zhao He's eyes. He had never expected Mo Fan to be a lightning mage who countered him.
"Rock Army Magic Armor!!"
Zhao He had no choice but to activate this rock-element Armor Magic Gear. Although it offered poor resistance against Lightning Magic, having it was still better than having nothing.
A thick layer of stone armor instantly covered Zhao He's body. This armor could resist most elemental magic, except Lightning Magic.
The penetrating force of Lightning Magic allowed the Thunder Seal to slip through the gaps in the Rock Army Magic Armor and bore into Zhao He's body. Terrifying scarlet lightning coursed through him, destroying his internal organs.
"Teacher Tang Yue, get ready to light him up and suffocate him to death!!"
Zhao He was completely wrapped in stone armor, and Mo Fan had no idea whether he was dead or alive. So, he directly asked Teacher Tang Yue to use Fire Magic and turn Zhao He into "clay-pot chicken."
"Alright."
Tang Yue nodded heavily. There was no time to ask how Mo Fan had survived. Majestic vermilion flames instantly ignited around her!
Teacher Tang Yue's fire seed was not ordinary fire either. As the flames danced, they outlined the shape of a sparrow. The swirling flame patterns resembled murals from ancient palaces, noble and exquisitely beautiful.
"Sparrow Flame!"
Tang Yue spoke two words. A murderous expression appeared on her stunning face, and her pupils shone a breathtaking vermilion. Yet for some reason, an unusual flush had also appeared on her cheeks.
"Fierce Fist: Nine Palaces!!!"
Tang Yue's aura surged skyward as she gritted her teeth and shouted the four words in fury. Towering flames seemed ready to ignite the entire hill, and even Mei Yan, which had been radiating heat moments ago, was suppressed.
The small reservoir was at least a hundred meters across. With one punch from Tang Yue, the domineering Sparrow Flame filled the entire reservoir, while cracks spread all across its surface.
A pillar of fire shot into the sky, like a giant vermilion flame whale leaping from the sea before crashing down in magnificent fashion and stirring up a thousand waves!
Eight more equally magnificent pillars of fire followed. Giant whales soared through the air as flames rolled and roared, creating a truly spectacular sight!!
Protected by the Golden Radiance Solar Divine Halo, Mo Fan was not worried about being burned by the Sparrow Flame at all. He watched as the Rock Army Magic Armor at the center of the Sparrow Flame was scorched red-hot. The person inside had probably turned soft by now.
If he still did not die from this, there would be no justice in the world, Mo Fan thought eagerly.
After unleashing Fierce Fist, Tang Yue suddenly felt her heart pound violently. Her breathing quickened, and her face burned hot.
Zhao He actually still had a water-element Shield Magic Tool, but the Thunder Seal had already paralyzed him. He could not activate the Water Flow Shield in time and was thus forcibly turned into "clay-pot chicken."
The flames had yet to disperse, but they could no longer harm Mo Fan. He walked toward Tang Yue and asked, "Teacher Tang Yue, are you alright?"
After casting her magic, Tang Yue only felt heat throughout her body and her mind clouded with desire. She was no naive young girl; she immediately realized that she might have been drugged.
"Mo Fan, don't come over."
Tang Yue knelt on the ground, breathing heavily. But after being baked by Fierce Fist: Nine Palaces, even the air had become extremely warm. Every breath worsened her symptoms.
Mo Fan scratched his head. There were only two paths before him.
One was to be a beast.
The other was to be worse than a beast.
After thinking it over, being a beast seemed like the better choice.
However, before becoming a beast, he first had to take in the Spirit Seed. Two million yuan, easy money—what a delight.
"Teacher Tang Yue, I'll take in the fire seed first, then come back to save you!" Mo Fan tossed out those words and ran toward Mei Yan.
Once Tang Yue saw Mo Fan leave, she struggled to sit up. It would not be easy to dispel the aphrodisiac. All she could do now was suppress it first and make plans after returning home.
Mo Fan broke open the surface layer above Mei Yan, revealing a crimson glow. Mei Yan was indeed gentle. Once it sensed the aura of heavenly fire on Mo Fan, it immediately settled down obediently.
Mo Fan could sense that Mei Yan desperately wanted to merge with him. But in this life, Mei Yan would not be of much help to him. Old friend, it seems I can't fight alongside you in this life.
Mo Fan took out the containment device he had bought for fifty thousand and stored Mei Yan inside.
When he stepped out of Mei Yan's birthplace, the towering fire pillars had already vanished. With no more fire source radiating intense heat, Xishui Town should soon return to normal.
Outside the reservoir, Tang Yue had already suppressed the drug's effects. She needed to return home quickly, because she was not sure when the effects would surge back.
"Hm? That fast? You didn't absorb Mei Yan?" Tang Yue asked when she saw Mo Fan come up so quickly.
"No. Teacher Tang Yue, business is business. If you want Mei Yan, that's fine too. Thirty million." Mo Fan guarded Mei Yan protectively.
"Then what are you still standing around for? Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. We're leaving." Tang Yue did not look pleased. She had thought this would be an easy carry, but she had ended up being drugged.
Mo Fan swiftly swept through the battlefield. He did not even spare the four members of the Dongfang Family, collecting all their Lingering Soul Remnants.
Although Tang Yue had suppressed the drug's effects, some aftereffects remained. Her unsteady, stumbling gait made that obvious.
Mo Fan hailed a taxi and told the driver to take the two of them to Song City Center.
In the back of the taxi, Tang Yue and Mo Fan sat on opposite sides.
Mo Fan looked out the window and thought, How did Teacher Tang Yue suppress it so quickly? I haven't even become a beast yet. Why is this different from my previous life?
Mo Fan did not know that in his previous life, Tang Yue had expelled part of the aphrodisiac. This time, she had merely suppressed it. The drug was still in her system, and no one knew when it would erupt again.
Just as Mo Fan was thinking, a moist, crimson pair of lips suddenly appeared beside him and pressed deeply against his face.
Mo Fan's eyes abruptly widened. What was going on? Was Teacher Tang Yue really this impatient??
Tang Yue's entire body pressed against Mo Fan. He could even feel the heat radiating from her body.
The taxi driver saw the entwined man and woman in the rearview mirror and cursed inwardly. Damn, young people these days are way too impatient. Don't mess around in my car.
Before Mo Fan could say anything, the driver automatically stopped in front of a hotel.
"Go on, no need to thank me!"
The driver calmly lit a cigarette.
