The Blue Robe Deacon suddenly stopped breathing. He looked at his chest in terror—Li Xingze's left hand had actually punched straight through his Armor Magic Gear!
How was that possible?!
Even with magic enhancement, he was still only an Intermediate-Level Mage. How had he managed to break through the Armor Magic Gear he was so proud of?!
"Die!"
Li Xingze abruptly yanked out his left hand. Viscous, scarlet blood sprayed out, splattering even the corners of his mouth and his cheek.
The Blue Robe Deacon clutched his wound and stumbled back several steps, his eyes filled with terror. He was a three-element High-level Magister, yet he had actually been defeated by a mere Intermediate-Level Mage—
Lord Mu He had underestimated him after all. No! Li Xingze had surpassed the limits of genius!
He could wield the control that only a High-level Magister should possess despite being merely at the Intermediate level. Such talent was absolutely unique!
Mu He: "Xiao He, go and bring this person into the Vatican."
I should never have accepted this assignment. The Blue Robe Deacon was filled with regret. His head lolled to the side, and he completely breathed his last before collapsing onto the ground.
"He really defeated a High-level Magister."
Bai Tingting's small mouth hung wide open. She knew Li Xingze was powerful, but she had never expected him to be this strong.
Li Xingze turned his head and happened to meet Bai Tingting's stunned gaze.
Bai Tingting noticed his cold eyes and lowered her head in shock and fear.
Li Xingze paid no attention to Bai Tingting's reaction. He casually stored the Blue Robe Deacon's Spatial Ring away.
The Armor Magic Gear was already damaged and not worth much. As for the other magic equipment, Li Xingze was not very interested in it either.
"Is this a Mind-Calming Artifact?"
Li Xingze's gaze fixed on the water-blue necklace around his neck. He had not expected this Blue Robe Deacon to be so wealthy.
It might have been taken from someone else. Now, it had finally returned to its true owner.
Although Li Xingze was not purely a Destruction Mage, he was at quite a disadvantage when facing Mind Element mages. With this Mind-Calming Artifact, he would not have to worry as much.
"Old Li, what happened here?"
At that moment, Mo Fan walked over, leading the Shadow Demon Beast.
Looking at the two corpses on the ground and the pool of "ground meat" farther away, Mo Fan knitted his brows. Even for him, the scene was far too bloody.
After looting everything useful, Li Xingze turned around and said, "All three of them were members of the Black Vatican. You're quite familiar with one of them."
"I'm familiar with one?" Mo Fan's face was full of question marks.
The two intact corpses looked completely unfamiliar to him. In other words, was the one already pulverized—
"Mu Yuang. He was an undercover agent of the Black Vatican," Li Xingze said.
"Mu Yuang is—"
Mo Fan's eyes widened. He had never expected that Bo City would have an undercover agent from the Black Vatican as well. No, perhaps Mu Yuang was not the only one.
Mo Fan's mind worked quickly. Perhaps the Black Vatican's choice of Bo City had not been a coincidence. It was very likely part of a plan they had been plotting for years!
"I also ran into two undercover agents from the Black Vatican, but I dealt with both of them," Mo Fan continued.
He had thought the danger was on his side, but after seeing what had happened to Li Xingze, Mo Fan instead felt a trace of relief.
If it had been him, he might not even have been able to escape.
"Nicely done." Li Xingze patted Mo Fan on the shoulder. He also remembered that Li Tong was not the only undercover agent in the Pearl Institute.
It seemed the Black Vatican was not united. These two foot soldiers had most likely been attracted by the news of the Terra Sanctum Spring.
Unfortunately, they had underestimated Mo Fan's strength. It was only natural that Mo Fan had dealt with them.
"Where's Xu Zhaoting?" Li Xingze asked.
"I've already told Xu Zhaoting to meet us here, but how are we going to explain these corpses?"
Mo Fan looked troubled. The two people he had killed were publicly students of the Pearl Institute, after all.
"Don't worry. I made preparations long ago."
Li Xingze smiled faintly. Although the Black Vatican had played him, taking down a Blue Robe Deacon was a great achievement.
Hearing Old Li's words, Mo Fan immediately felt much more at ease. He suddenly looked toward the delicate girl trembling with fear on the ground.
"Who's this?"
Mo Fan had already more or less guessed the plot. It was nothing more than Old Li playing the hero and saving this female student.
Bai Tingting completely ignored Mo Fan, staring only at Li Xingze's right hand, which was still dripping blood.
"You're injured."
Bai Tingting hurried over to Li Xingze and grabbed his right palm. It was already a bloody mess, with a hideous hole the size of a thumbnail gaping in it.
The wound was the opening Li Xingze had deliberately sold to the Blue Robe Deacon. If the Blue Robe Deacon had not let his guard down because of it, Li Xingze would have had to put in considerably more effort.
"Damn, Old Li, your wound is that deep, yet you didn't make a sound. Don't tell me you can't feel pain?"
Mo Fan noticed the injury on Li Xingze's hand and immediately cried out in shock.
"Shut up! It hurts like hell!"
Li Xingze gritted his teeth so hard they nearly cracked. Mo Fan's words had completely exposed him.
Hearing Old Li's scream, Mo Fan laughed gleefully twice.
But the next moment, he could not laugh anymore.
"I'll treat you." Bai Tingting used her Healing Spirit to treat the wound while carefully tending to his palm.
Mo Fan, standing beside them, became so jealous that he nearly split apart at the molecular level.
This girl was actually a healing mage. What kind of incredible luck was this?
"Thank you," Li Xingze said.
Bai Tingting shook her head and said firmly, "I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for saving me. By the way, my name is Bai Tingting."
"Li Xingze."
"Your name has already spread throughout the entire Green Campus." Bai Tingting gave him a playful smile before continuing, "I just didn't expect you to be able to defeat a High-level Magister."
"It was just luck."
While the two were talking, Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and the others also arrived one after another.
After seeing the devastation, quite a few students could not help but retch. Even Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao, who had stronger stomachs, looked pale.
"Well, well, Li Xingze, Mo Fan, was it the two of you who killed them?" Luo Song forced down his disgust and stepped forward to accuse them.
There was no denying that Luo Song's move was extremely vicious. This was no longer just a dispute between students. One careless mistake, and they could end up in prison!
"Luo Song, stop making false accusations," Mo Fan said coldly.
"Then how do you explain them?! I think both of you are members of the Black Vatican!" Luo Song continued.
The other students exchanged glances. Could Li Xingze's immense strength be because he had cultivated the Black Vatican's evil magic?
"Whoosh, whoosh~~~!!!"
Just then, a man with a pair of eagle wings growing from his back dove down from above and quickly landed among the crowd.
"It's Inquisitor Night-Hawk!" Someone immediately recognized the famous Inquisitor expert.
When Luo Song saw the Inquisitor appear, he grew even more pleased. It would be best if Li Xingze and Mo Fan were both arrested.
"Blue Robe."
Night Hawk stared in shock at the corpse behind Li Xingze. Under Tang Yue's investigation, the Blue Robe Deacon's identity had already come to light.
"Who did this?" Night Hawk immediately turned toward the crowd.
Luo Song was the first to step forward. Pointing at Li Xingze, he said, "He did it! He's an undercover agent of the Black Vatican. Inquisitor, hurry up and arrest him!"
"Him?" Night Hawk had no interest in listening to even half a sentence. All he needed to know was that a student had actually defeated a Blue Robe Deacon—something even he had failed to accomplish!
A Green Campus student whose cultivation was only at the Intermediate level had destroyed a Blue Robe Deacon. Was that really reasonable?
Seeing Night Hawk stare fixedly at Li Xingze, Luo Song was overjoyed. If he could drive Li Xingze away, he would have one less greatest rival!
