First, a ghostly phantom appeared behind him, its aura rising steadily, stirring up layers of air waves that spread outwards with overwhelming force.

The ghosts and gods are tiger-headed deities with prominent horns. They are not demons, but God from heaven. Their evil and noble qualities are intertwined. They suddenly swoop down and possess the host, causing physical mutation.

Lu Jun's body was covered in black and red sacrificial patterns, which spread all over his fair skin and even outlined his face, making it look like a white tiger Ghost Face superimposed on his body.

Furthermore, his hair instantly turned silver-white, flowing long hair that complemented the black markings on his forehead and body, resembling the King Character Pattern of a white tiger. His eyes were heterochromatic, one as pure as indigo crystal, the other as deep as a crimson Beads.

At the same time, his body muscles swelled, and a pair of platinum Steel Wings on his back intertwined in layers, resembling Sword Wings, flowing with a crystal-clear metallic luster, magnificent and awe-inspiring, like a tiger with wings.

Several dark blue Water Stream Ribbon flowed around his torso and limbs, like the halo of a god, sacred and inviolable. Within a radius of about ten feet, Silver Light Membrane appeared and disappeared, and the edges of his magnificent Sword Wings shimmered with arcing silver light.

And the figure of Night Thunder Dream Beast below disappeared without anyone noticing, turning into a shadow and quickly attaching itself.

Finally, Shadow Deer Head materialized above Lu Jun's head and floated, resembling Night Crown or a unique Soul Mark.

The White Tiger, with its heterochromatic pupils, represents both the mind and curses. Through the Profound Soul Capture the spirit and capture souls, and is like a tiger with wings, Gengjin Embodiment. Water, space, and curses need no further explanation; the six elements of magic can coexist perfectly and complement each other.

At this moment, Lu Jun felt an unprecedented power; reaching the upper echelon of the Commander-level in terms of physical strength was nothing special.

Don't you see, the Blue Robe Deacon Fang Shaoli's Black Poisonous Insect Queen brings Commander-level physique, and the villainous Red Ornament Society Kaso's Insect Armor Commander-level physique are not excessive at all (many readers say this is excessive, but both are only high-level, this is an example).

What's truly terrifying is the coexistence of multiple attributes, their simultaneous use, their mutual interaction, and the ability to combine them in multiple ways, resulting in immense destructive power. In the God Ascension State, the destructive power is even greater.

He intuitively felt that his every move possessed the power to move mountains and sever rivers. With a thought, he unleashed his six-attribute domain, taking control and dominating.

All of this happened extremely fast. In a second, Lu Jun entered a powerful God Ascension State, his gaze fixed on Luo Mian, and the three elements of Mind Curse Space erupted in a mixed burst, descending with a roar.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A powerful Mental Power enveloped the void, with faint transparent, black-red, and pure silver light spreading, forcibly distorting space and anchoring multiple cages.

The shadowy form of Luo Mian wriggled and rapidly manifested, forcing him to reveal his true form. His body stiffened, surrounded by spiderwebs, Space Stasis, his Mind Imprisonment, and he was trapped in a quagmire.

"The Mind Sword"

Lu Jun didn't move, the word "" on his forehead glowed, soared into the sky, shining brightly in the night sky, and the eyes of the dream beast mark above his head also flickered.

Instantly, the King's Sword Light condensed between his heterochromatic eyes and swiftly slashed out, like Fleeting Splendor.

It is based on the mind and is supplemented with attributes such as curse, Metal Element, and shadow.

The sword pierced through the void of Luo Mian, pinning him to the spot, and his screams were deafening.

Luo Mian was a multi-elemental Super Rank mage, yet he was caught off guard and suppressed by Lu Jun.

But Lu Jun was just the beginning. He was filled with rage and had been holding back for a long time, all so that he could legitimately expose Luo Mian's official facade and then take drastic measures.

Now, Luo Mian has alienated himself from the people, and his crimes are beyond redemption; it is time to settle accounts with him.

Chapter 194 The Wrath of a Common Man

A phantom, transparent flying sword pierced through Luo Mian's chest.

The sword aura was covered with interwoven black and red runes, and its edges were shimmering with black and white light, representing the sharpness of the Metal Element and the restraint of the Shadow Element.

He had no visible wounds, but a Soul Phantom appeared, overlapping with his body, seemingly writhing in excruciating pain. At the same time, a flying sword pinned him firmly to the shadow behind him, tearing his soul apart and Shadow Immobilization.

For a short period of time, Luo Mian was unable to use any of his skills, his Spiritual World firmly imprisoned.

However, he was still a dual- Super Rank of Shadow Curse, and with the surge of magical energy, he gradually disintegrated the Mind Sword.

But before Luo Mian could break free of his restraints, Lu Jun launched his attack. The figure of the White Tiger Evil God was drawn in the air, leaving many afterimages. His violent brute force was unleashed, and Blood Ink Colored Glow shot into the sky.

Whoosh!

Lu Jun's platinum wings slashed down like two celestial swords, carrying with them a grayish-white Tribulation Qi. The terrifying force tore open two deep black marks in the void, Space Tear, as if to cleave Luo Mian in two.

This is clearly an Intermediate Level spatial ability, but he hasn't even reached level three in his Space Element cultivation, so he shouldn't be able to use it. However, under the God Ascension state, his control over all elements is greatly enhanced, allowing him to use it easily.

The combination of the Metal Element Death Tribulation effect and the Space Tear so powerful that even a formal Commander-level being struck by this attack would be instantly killed.

Fortunately, Lu Jun didn't hastily choose [Flying Feather Gold] as his second metal; otherwise, he could have achieved the effect of tearing space with his current Space Element, and his destructive power wouldn't have been maximized.

Sizzle!

Upon hearing the sharp sound, Luo Mian dared not be negligent and gritted his teeth to unleash his most powerful ability.

In an instant, his figure faded, without using any star-drawing magic, yet he seemed to vanish into the void as if he had become Phasing.

Lu Jun's figure flashed across the sky, and when he turned around to look back, he frowned slightly upon seeing this scene, which was most likely the [Supernatural Power] that was a hallmark of Super Rank cultivator.

Mo Fan's future Shadow Element will also have similar capabilities, so it's clear he can't use them too often.

The higher realms and the Supernatural Power of the Super Rank are manifestations of the progressively deeper control over magic. The latter, in particular, breaks free from the framework of magic, eliminates the need to control stars, and allows the body to automatically contain magical energy, making the creation of Super Rank magic effortless.

Imprisoning the soul and shadow does not mean that one can completely lock down Super Rank.

The next moment, Lu Jun's figure flashed, seizing the moment when Luo Mian manifested his physical form. The Dark Deer symbol above his head swirled, and a surge of dark current spread across his arms. He unleashed a punch, Silent Thunder Death Ray - Thunder Arm erupted.

Thump!

Luo Mian's chest caved in, and the cannonball crashed heavily to the ground as if it had fallen. Luckily, his Armor Magic Tool was released in time, otherwise he would have been paralyzed from the waist down in one hit.

Super Rank mages are not experts who specialize in cultivating their physical bodies; compared to Demon Beast, they are still very fragile.

Rumble!

Lu Jun relentlessly pursued, closing in and unleashing punch after punch. Thick beams of dark lightning swept across, and thick blood and qi formed a red armor that enveloped his body, making him appear like a god descending to earth. In one breath, he swept from one end of the mountain to the other.

The flesh of Luo Mian was used to carve out a wide ravine, sending countless stones flying and billowing dust.

Luo Mian was stunned and disoriented by a barrage of punches. His whole body was in excruciating pain, his bones were broken, and his internal organs were displaced. Fortunately, the Mind Sword, which was stuck in his chest and pierced his soul, finally collapsed as he struggled to break free.

With a buzzing sound, his eyes turned sinister, and the aura of darkness and curse surged. Combined with his Super Rank Light Element, he twisted and growled, "Lu Jun, I will kill you!"

But at this moment, Zhu Meng, who was far away, had already reacted. He first glanced at Lu Jun's condition in surprise, and then controlled the stars, and one after another, magnificent golden constellations appeared.

Ultimately, they sketched and forged something resembling a celestial palace atop the clouds, composed of purple lightning, its entire body shimmering with lightning, and wisps of dark clouds gathering.

Its dazzling brilliance shines above this area, towering majestically amidst endless black clouds, gazing at the rolling mountains in the distance!

"The Lightning Ring Punishment, the Nine Rings of Prohibition!"

Zhu Meng shouted solemnly, taking advantage of the few seconds that Lu Jun was beating Luo Mian, he released the Super Rank magic [Star Palace].

Rumble!

The heavens were enraged, and the Purple Cloud Palace erected nine towering Lightning Halberd, which pierced through the Dark Domain surrounding Luo Mian one by one. With each halberd that fell, his body trembled.

Immediately, all nine Lightning Halberd pierced the ground, resonating with each other, and a massive Lightning Containment Great Array rose up, filling the field of vision with boundless lightning, turning the mountains and fields into a Lightning Sea Region.

Thunder roared incessantly, echoing through the heavens and earth. Terrifying lightning blasted ancient trees and boulders away, reducing them to dust and ashes.

The dark curtain of the cursed domain that Luo Mian had tried his best to maintain was torn to shreds by the Lightning Halberd, and even his own Light's Blessing could not withstand the sea of lightning. He was bathed in lightning and screamed in agony.

Originally, the Totem Mysterious Snake was lured into the West Lake Lightning Element [Nine Rings Great Array] by the opponent, suffered severe damage from the nine halberds, endured prolonged electric torment, bled out little by little, and almost perished.

Now it's Luo Mian's turn to enjoy it. Although Zhu Meng doesn't have any formations to assist him, he's already at the second level of the Super Rank, and with the support of Lightning Element Supernatural Power, he's not much weaker.

Luo Mian was not a Xuan Snake; he was merely a Super Rank human mage. Under the magic of the Lightning Ring Punishment, he gradually turned into a dead dog, his body charred black as he knelt in the very center.

It's a complete reversal, making one marvel at the unpredictable nature of fate.

Lu Jun flapped his wings and Space Jump, arriving in front of Luo Mian in the blink of an eye. Looking at the other party's disheveled appearance, he showed no pity, his eyes filled with indifference.

He raised his arm, aimed at Luo Mian, clenched his fist tightly, and said, "It's all over."

Waaaaah!

Suddenly, the Netherworld Opens beneath Luo Mian opened up, deep and bottomless, dark and silent, from which emerged Hatred Eye Ghost Fiend, unleashing an aura of curses and misfortune.

The slightly ethereal ghosts and spirits crawled all over the old man with the goatee's body, their ghostly hands reaching out as if grabbing Luo Mian's soul and gradually pulling him toward the Dark Plane.

"No! I don't want to die."

Luo Mian was terrified and wept bitterly in the face of death, showing none of the composure expected of a Super Rank mage.

Buzz!

Lu Jun touched Luo Mian's forehead with his fingertip, and a black-gold sword light flashed. As the man's pupils contracted, the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword pierced through his forehead, carving a bloody hole between his eyebrows, and red and white brain matter splattered out.

The old man with the goatee collapsed limply to the ground, lifeless, his body gone.

The souls were grabbed by countless ghostly hands, torn to pieces in mid-air, and then devoured by the ghosts and gods. Many Hatred Eye Ghost Fiend returned to the Dark Plane with satisfaction.

Thus, the Mysterious Snake Incident in Hangzhou came to an end. The ringleader was executed, and the remaining minor details were simply dealt with.

Seeing this, Lu Jun felt a little regretful. It would be so much better if a Super Rank soul could be collected and made into a ' Tiger Ghost), but with Zhu Meng watching from the side, he couldn't do anything.

Destroying a soul is acceptable, but enslaving a soul and turning it into Cursed Ghost Object is undoubtedly an evil art and is rejected by the mainstream.

Even now, Zhu Meng frowned upon seeing this scene.

Secondly, there's a limit to Ghost Execution of Through-the-Net high-level Curse Element magic can contain ghosts. High-level and Commander-level are about the limit, and Super Rank is too much. In the end, it's just a High-level Magic.

Given Luo Mian's resentment towards himself, it would be troublesome if he were to turn against his master without careful consideration.

Perhaps when Lu Jun's cultivation level advances to the Super Rank of the Curse Element, he will be able to attempt to refine it.

Overall, he fought with great satisfaction, releasing all the pent-up anger he had been holding back, and beat Luo Mian to death.

Furthermore, Lu Jun's God Ascension State was merely a trial run; he hadn't yet combined and used his high-level Water Element Magic System, leaving him with some reserves. His combat strength Sub-Lord was barely sufficient.

Chapter 195 The Silver Dome Lord?!

The sublimation effect of the Curse Substance [Blood Abyss Curse Mark] is good, but the post-procedure Sage State is unpleasant.

The black sacrificial runes on Lu Jun's body gradually shrank and returned to the mark on his wrist. A strong sense of exhaustion came from deep within his body, and his mental and physical energy was completely drained.

Within the Spiritual World, apart from the two great azure and black-red star rivers, four Nebula were completely destroyed, their magical energy exhausted.

He only had about twenty-four seconds to use it; if the battle continues, it probably won't be enough.

After all, Luo Mian's Shadow Element is good at stalling. Once his burst damage time is over, he can easily kill him.

The [White Tiger Evil God] form, with six elements coexisting, is merely a trump card to be used in special circumstances.

Moreover, this form is not Lu Jun's peak achievement. The coexistence of six elements is the next step in the Fusion Magic, and it is also closely related to one's own cultivation level.

If Lu Jun reaches the highest level of the Six Elements and unleashes the White Tiger Evil God state, it would be no exaggeration to say that he can withstand the attacks of Great Monarch.

"Although there's a time limit, and it's far less powerful than Mo Fan's high-level battle against Supreme Monarch or his Super Rank battle against Emperor, it's enough."

Lu Jun tried it once and nodded in satisfaction.

Zhu Meng approached from the other side and realized that he was only expending magical energy and his aura was low. It was clearly not some evil technique that required burning one's soul or life force at a cost, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Lu Jun with admiration. It would be a great pity if such a pillar of society were to perish because of practicing evil magic. Not only would it be a costly mistake, but the ruler of the Magic World, the Holy City, would also not tolerate it.

At this moment, Zhu Meng took a deep breath, his imposing figure slumped, his spine bent, and he bowed ninety degrees to Lu Jun, Tang Yue, and the other two, sincerely apologizing:

"I'm sorry, this time it's all my fault. I misjudged people and failed to see Luo Mian's true colors. I was manipulated by him and almost made a terrible mistake."

"Next, I will publicly explain and apologize to the citizens of Hangzhou. Naturally, I am also willing to abandon the 'Hidden Danger Strategy,' resign from my position as a councilor, and be exiled to the frontier of Kyushu to guard the Ancient Capital and atone for my sins."

After he finished speaking at such a long time, his energy seemed to dissipate, his body hunched over, and he looked old in just a few breaths.

If given a choice, Zhu Meng would not have wanted to abandon the Hidden Danger Strategy. This represented his philosophy and was the cause he had pursued throughout his life. However, due to changes in the situation, he realized he was in the wrong and needed to take responsibility.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun hesitated, then remained silent.

Honestly, among all the councilors, Zhu Meng is among the top tier. He possesses a sense of justice, public morality, and social responsibility, which is a great boon to the lower and middle classes. He is a righteous and upright official in the traditional sense.

Compared to Luo Mian, Zhu Biao, and Councilor Zhuang who came after him, he was far superior.

But as I said before, merits and demerits cannot be offset, and besides, this isn't the first or second time that Zhu Meng has misjudged people.

Lu Jun was in Bo City before, and faced with the Black Vatican's plan, the reason he dared not report it to the Hangzhou Adjudication Court was because of two high-ranking traitors: one was Councilor's Secretary, and the other was Second-Level City Judge.

Unfortunately, the former was a mixed-race individual named [Winnie] who worked under Zhu Meng and possessed a cultivation level beyond the Super Rank.

Now that he has stepped down, Winnie, as his secretary, whose fate is closely intertwined with his, will inevitably have to retire as well.

In this way, the Black Vatican has unwittingly lost a key high-ranking mole.

Anyway, Lu Jun felt that it was best for Zhu Meng to stay out of it. The more he did, the more mistakes he might make and the more information he might leak. This kind of reckless man was better suited to fighting Demon Beast; he didn't need to use his brain.

He was also quite helpless, as the original work featured a large number of good-for-nothings among the ruling class, and Zhu Meng was actually considered relatively good.

"I will clean up the mess before I step down."
