Outrageous / Speedrunning Bird City

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun smiled without saying a word. He also possessed Space Magic, with a foundation in the fifth realm, making him slightly stronger than Ai Jiangtu in combat, but he simply chose not to display it.

Mo Fan was smug, his Silver Light hands gleaming. Finally, he had something to show off in front of Lu Jun.

After advancing to the advanced level, he has made unremitting efforts and broken through to the Intermediate Level. His Mental Power is also stronger than in the Original Timeline, reaching the early stage of the third realm.

This lineage has finally been cultivated to a point where it is usable.

However, he had absolutely no clue about the other, even rarer, higher-level Chaos Element, using it extremely clumsily and rendering it useless in battle, thus abandoning it.

After all, Mo Fan's Chaos Element should have been awakened only after reaching Super Rank, and he only learned how to use it after seeing how others performed; he really doesn't know how right now.

Mu Ningxue glanced sideways, her expression relatively complex. She had witnessed Mo Fan rise to this level entirely through his own hard work, becoming one of the three most indispensable core members of the National Government with his advanced cultivation.

Despite her reliance on a prestigious family, a vast chasm still emerged between them, and she was subsequently abandoned like dust. The contrast was so stark that she couldn't understand it.

Adding to this, Mo Fan had been very attentive to her lately, and recalling the sincerity he had revealed at Dongting Lake, she couldn't help but waver.

Unfortunately, the scene of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress from the jaws of a giant lizard was missing, making Mo Fan's path to melting the iceberg seem increasingly distant. This could be considered a double-edged sword, at least in terms of cultivation level, he avoided one more demotion.

The group rested for one night in a luxury hotel and would depart immediately the next day.

The guide was still that simple, honest boy from the fishing village.

His name was Liu Meng. He was very familiar with this area of water and skillfully navigated his small boat, avoiding the underwater reefs and corals, and successfully arrived at the ecological islands outside Fei Niao City.

As the thirteen people stepped onto the island, a sense of security arose spontaneously from the solid land.

Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly, "I'm not good at water combat, and I don't feel safe at all in the sea."

Most of the others looked on with the same expression, having been quite shaken by the boat's rocking.

Even Lao Zhao, although he was at the peak of the Intermediate Water Element, had neither the high-level nor the fourth-level Water Shield, so he wasn't very confident in dealing with the Sea Monster underwater.

Lu Jun closed his eyes and sensed that he was on an ocean island, where the air was thick with moisture, and the dark blue Water Element Star River Magic Energy within his Spiritual World was vibrant.

He reassured his troops, saying, "It's alright. I'm best at naval warfare. All you need to do is find the Sea Monster."

"That's right." Mo Fan slapped his forehead, recalling when Lao Lu fought against the giant lizard tribe in Jinlin City. The Milky Way was like a waterfall, and they managed to carve out a lake that submerged a small part of the city.

Mu Ningxue, Zhao Manyan, and even Guan Yu, Nan Jue, and Mu Yingting, who had witnessed Lu Jun's great prowess, all breathed a sigh of relief. The latter few had all trained and fought side by side on the Yangtze River and were basically familiar with the situation.

Therefore, the cohesion of this National Team is much stronger than in the original story, all thanks to Lu Jun. With him at the core, no one dares to disobey him. He also successively eliminated the biggest hidden dangers such as Zu Jiming and Lu Yilin, which is a great achievement.

Immediately, Jiang Yu stepped forward and studied some exposed rocks on the island, discovering traces of Demon Beast.

A claw mark cut straight down to the middle of the two-meter-high rock, leaving three sharp cuts, indicating that the Sea Monster had three toes. Several more reddish fish scales were also found.

"It's Scarlet Phosphorus Sea Monster, which is quite rare. Most of the sea demons along the coast of the Nine Provinces are Azure Scale Sea Monster. This demon is powerful; even as a cub, it is at the Servant-level, and as an adult, its physical strength reaches that of a minor warrior."

Jiang Yu had a master who was the top Summoning System, and he had extensive knowledge of Demon Beast, so he could easily identify them.

Lu Jun nodded, and just as he was about to speak, his mental detection, which he had been using since arriving on the island, detected several Life Aura emanating from behind a few giant rocks in the distance.

Seeing this, he remained calm. Only when the creatures got closer did Jiang Shaoxu react and shout, "Watch out, something's approaching!"

She was none other than a rare Mind Element mage in the team, at the peak of the third realm of spiritual cultivation, and her perception was significantly weaker than his.

Roar!

As soon as he finished speaking, the red phosphorus demon behind the boulder realized its whereabouts had been exposed and, no longer hiding, popped its head out.

Each of them was tall and mighty, with a crimson body, three sharp claws on each hand, thick and large feet, and a ring of fin-like tissue around their waist. There were more than a dozen warriors in total, and their fierce and murderous Killing Aura was overwhelming.

The ordinary man leading the way Liu Meng, was pale-faced, while the other members of the Nationalist government around him remained completely calm.

Each of them could fight seven or eight generals on their own, and could easily retreat even when surrounded by more than a dozen generals. (Original text)

"Tch, scared me! Just a few small fry. Watch me take them down."

Zhao Manyan was the first to react, and confidently began to draw a white Star Chart, unleashing the Intermediate Magic Water Element spell [Storm Wave - Flood Roll].

Rumble!

A giant wave, over twenty meters high, swept across the shore and rammed across the island with tremendous force, like a giant airplane roaring past. Wherever it passed, boulders crumbled and deep ravines were carved out.

The top-grade Spirit Seed that the Zhao family provided for him was quite powerful, just like Lu Jun's when he was at the peak of the Intermediate Level.

However, the dozen or so red phosphorus demons remained calm and made unpleasant cawing noises, seemingly mocking Zhao Manyan.

The next moment, their eyes simultaneously shone with a deep blue light, and the blue light they emitted directly suppressed the churning Storm Wave.

Gradually, these Storm Wave began to flow in a strange reverse direction.

In the blink of an eye, with the help of the red phosphorus demons, the giant wave rose higher and higher, turning into a deep blue color as it surged back, reaching a height of more than thirty meters, like a huge deep blue curtain, or a primordial beast rushing in.

Guan Yu was furious and spat out, "Idiot! Still Water Element? Don't you know the ocean and water are the Sea Monster's domain?"

Just as everyone was about to disperse, Lu Jun made a decisive move. His eyes shone with a dark blue light, and his aura rose steadily. His terrifying power to control water froze a giant wave more than thirty meters high in mid-air, leaving it completely still.

He said calmly, "Whose home turf is this?"

Chapter 280 Outrageous

Without using any magic, Lu Jun simply relied on his control over Water Element to easily seize the giant wave generated by the dozen or so warrior generals Crimson Ling Demon.

This demonstrates a profound mastery of the elemental realm.

Immediately following, amidst the Crimson Ling Demon's panicked screams, the giant waves rose higher and higher, pulling back and forth to form a dark blue wave fifty meters high, with a surging, deathly power filling the sky.

On the other side, Ai Jiangtu, Guan Yu, Mo Fan, and the others were also busy, quickly taking control of Xingzi and releasing magic to control it.

Whether it's using silver spatial Mind Control to grasp the Crimson Ling Demon, or writhing shadows to transform into Giant Shadow Nail to immobilize it, or using Mind Element or Plant Element to bind the Demon Beast.

In an instant, a colossal, deathly wave crashed down, engulfing more than a dozen tall and mighty Crimson Ling Demon, who were forced to rush hundreds of meters away.

After everything calmed down, a hissing sound of dissolving rang out, and everyone suddenly saw that the overflowing black seawater revealed more than a dozen melted and tattered corpses of the Crimson Ling Demon.

"Holy crap, is that the power of the undead? Old Lu, your Water Element has evolved again? Did you get a Water Element Soul Seed?"

Mo Fan was taken aback. The simple pounding of water was unlikely to suffocate the Crimson Ling Demon, who was Sea Monster, but the corrosive effect of death could easily take away the life of a living being.

Lu Jun instantly killed the Crimson Ling Demon, and couldn't help but ponder this.

The giant wave expanded rapidly after being repeatedly pulled by Lao Zhao and the Sea Monster, saving him the time of using the Violent Waves · Sky River Dive to stack the Tide effect in the early stage. He could stack the Tide at a higher position, and the power started more rapidly.

It's important to know that as he achieved high-level mastery in multiple elements, he used the Water Element Storm Wave less and less as the enemies he encountered became stronger.

It's because the Tide spreads too slowly.

This move does have a high ceiling, but if an enemy with Commander-level combat power casually unleashes a High-level Magic, you won't have any time to react.

If he had a Water Element mage by his side to help him create waves, he could hold off the enemy until his allies had accumulated enough power before taking over, wouldn't that make him much more practical?

"Skilled Water Element mages are hard to find, let alone those who can stay close by."

Lu Jun pondered and thought of the Water Element Spirit, which undoubtedly perfectly met the requirements, but the hope of finding it was slim.

However, good news came last night. Perhaps his killing of the Lu Family had intimidated the Zu Family, because the promised compensation was now being delivered as a condition.

He considered his Zu Family's international aristocratic status and planned to ask them for help in finding the [Water Element Spirit] in the vast Four Oceans!

A thorough search of all areas where rumors of Mermaid, sirens, merfolk, lake fairies, and river gods frequently appear will almost certainly lead to an encounter.

The cost of doing this is definitely high; the Hunter's Alliance estimates the prize pool at two to three billion.

But since it wasn't Lu Jun who made the payment, he figured he might as well use the Zu Family's connections.

In addition, Lu Jun's other preparation was to go to Japan, a country surrounded by sea, where the possibility of finding the Water Element Spirit was very high.

"Oh dear!" Jiang Shaoxu suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the naked corpse of the Crimson Ling Demon exposed after the dark tide receded, "Look, what's inside the Crimson Ling Demon's body?"

Buzz buzz buzz!

Ai Jiangtu reacted the fastest. With Mind Control, he tore open the abdomen of the Crimson Ling Demon's body, and stomach acid, blood, rotten food and other remnants spilled out, emitting a stench that filled the air.

Also found was the remains of an infant, which were also decomposing.

Everyone gasped, horrified by the disgusting scene, and began to gag, their anger simmering within them.

Afterwards, Ai Jiangtu's face turned ashen as he dissected more than a dozen corpses of the Crimson Ling Demon, and found similar results.

Even Lu Jun's expression was not good. Even though he already knew, the impact of witnessing it with his own eyes was still strong.

"They've arrived," he sighed inwardly. The Sea Monster's rampage was merely the surface of the problems in Fei Niao City; this was the real crux of the matter.

He knew exactly who the mastermind was: Su Lu of the Asian Magic Association, a multi-elemental Forbidden Curse Mage and one of the strongest human fighters.

That's right, he's also the one who will frame Feng Zhoulong and prevent the birth of Fusion Magic in the future.

The people of the National Government were furious. Crimson Ling Demon's actions had undoubtedly crossed the line for humanity. In an instant, the heroes were enraged and decided to go to their lair to attack the Crimson Ling Demon.

But the young people were completely unaware that there was something wrong with the baby's body; the heart was missing.

The Sea Monster is merely a scapegoat, playing the role of recycling and cleaning up; the truly wicked are humans themselves.

Lu Jun didn't offer any advice; they were powerless to help, the mountain behind them was simply too vast.

"That's fucking ridiculous."

He couldn't help but feel a Killing Intent towards Su Lu. Even criminals, let alone normal people, would have basic compassion.

Now, everyone's eyes are on him, full of anticipation.

Lu Jun decided to deal with the difficulties in Fei Niao City first, and without hesitation, he gave the order, "We will split into two groups. One group will go and take down the Crimson Ling Demon's lair, while the other group will go into the city and investigate the child abduction cases of recent years."

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiangtu and the other members of the National Government, all intelligent men, changed their expressions and said, "You mean someone is deliberately condoning this?"

"Hmm." Lu Jun nodded, thinking that since he couldn't get rid of Su Lu, he would have to use the backing of these members of the National Government to cut off all the claws that were reaching out, and prevent a similar situation from happening again in Fei Niao City.

Of course, from Ai Jiangtu's perspective, this group of people at most committed the crime of deceiving their superiors and subordinates, rather than a deeper form of darkness.

To some extent, those who condone such behavior are also taking the blame for Su Lu. Only in this way can both sides get through the situation in a muddle and avoid direct confrontation.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Shaoxu volunteered to take Liu Meng, an ordinary citizen, back by boat.

The remaining eleven, including Lu Jun, charged toward the lair of the Crimson Ling Demon with murderous intent.

This group of people lives between four islands and can escape into the sea at any time.

As everyone frowned, at a loss for what to do, Lu Jun stepped forward. He used his mental detection to scan an area of several kilometers and accurately spotted the Crimson Ling Demon sleeping on the underwater reefs.

The Crimson Ling Demon Clan follows an elite route, with a relatively small number of members, and a very high proportion of them are General-level- level beasts. Among them lies a massive Life Aura as vigorous as the blazing sun, which is likely Commander-level behemoth.

"Ha! All of you, come out here!"

Lu Jun snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with dark blue light, a shimmering Water Repelling Pearl rising from the top of his head, and his body surging with water vapor.

In an instant, a vast, dark blue fog spread out, obscuring the sky and covering the four or five islands.

This is no exaggeration. Mu Ningxue, an Intermediate Level Ice Element who has mastered a domain, can do what he can do with ease, and he can do even more.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Lu Jun paused for a moment, and suddenly the sea surface began to surge violently, with layers of ripples spreading out like a boiling pot of water. Then, one huge column of water after another gushed out, rising fifty meters high.

At the top of each water column, a Crimson Ling Demon was lifted up and tossed high into the air.

He actually managed to shake hundreds of Demon Beast out of the deep water in one go!

Chapter 281 Speeding Through Fei Niao City

Rumble!

The sea off the coast of Fei Niao City is surging with waves, with hundreds of water columns rising from the surface, creating a magnificent and imposing sight. It looks like a water forest or a solemn dragon palace.

Amidst the swirling mist, vibrant rainbow bridges span countless water columns, creating a scene resembling a beautiful fairyland.

The hundreds of hideous Demon Beast rising above the fountain were a bit of an eyesore.

Regardless of whether Servant-level or General-level, the Crimson Ling Demon were all thrown high into the air, and many of the weaker, juvenile forms were instantly crushed to pieces by the terrifying water flow.

Even at the very center of the cluster of water columns, the largest vortex caved out and suddenly exploded, spewing out a water column ten meters in diameter. Standing out from the crowd, it sent the tall and fierce-looking leader Crimson Ling Demon, flying.

A startled awake, it roared in pain, its fury echoing across four or five nearby islands, carrying a powerful spiritual pressure that made everyone's faces turn pale.

Ai Jiangtu said solemnly, "Commander Rank Demonic Beast."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

One after another, the Demon Beast crashed heavily onto the island, creating countless deep craters. Rocks and dirt flew everywhere, and clouds of dust billowed up. Some suffered minor injuries, while others were crushed into a bloody pulp.
