Slay the Blood-patterned Giant Demon Rat!

Just as Mo Fan was about to retrieve the fire-type scroll, Song Jie beside him moved.

"Radiance!"

"Ultimate Great Burst!"

In an instant, Song Jie raised his hand and released a golden mass of light even larger than Radiance toward the Blood-patterned Giant Demon Rat.

Mo Fan beside him was blinded by the dazzling golden light, unable to open his eyes.

The golden Radiance swallowed the Blood-patterned Giant Demon Rat whole, simultaneously blasting it backward.

The next moment!

A deafening explosion rang out, shaking the entire underground base.

Mo Fan looked at the General-level Blood-patterned Giant Demon Rat—its body was shattered into pieces, blood splattered all over the ground!

Its death was gruesome!

Mo Fan stared at Song Jie beside him in disbelief, swallowing hard.

Was this still the same Song Jie he knew?

He had just killed a General-level demon like that?

Song Jie's Ultimate Great Burst was comparable to a High-level Mage's spell; killing a General-level demon was effortless!

Soon!

The Sacred Spring door slammed shut.

"Song Jie, was that magic you just cast?" Mo Fan asked incredulously.

He just wanted to confirm if this was real...

Song Jie nodded, then began searching inside for the mechanism to collect the Sacred Spring.

Before long, he walked to the central altar and found a button.

Mo Fan watched as the Sacred Spring around him slowly gathered into a bottle, finding it utterly miraculous!

At the same time, he didn't understand how Song Jie knew all this!

But, he didn't ask.

"The door is closed. How do we get out?" Mo Fan asked.

"Instructor Zhan Kong told me there's a secret passage in here. Help me look for it," Song Jie said.

Hearing this, Mo Fan immediately nodded, finally understanding why Song Jie knew so much.

So Instructor Zhan Kong had told him!

The two searched for a while and eventually found the entrance to the secret passage.

"Let's go."

As Song Jie finished speaking, he headed into the passage.

The Military Mages who appeared here were likely sent to notify them, but they had unexpectedly run into demons!

He had just noticed—those people hadn't died recently; they had probably been dead for days.

That meant Zhan Kong and Tang Yue must have sensed something wrong and sent someone to tell them to leave.

But no one expected the messenger to be killed by the demon invasion.

Song Jie and Mo Fan advanced through the passage, and after a long time, they finally saw light.

Mo Fan crawled out and scanned the surroundings: "This is the school's back mountain?"

Song Jie emerged and nodded.

He looked toward Tian Lan Magic High School—there were no students left.

Clearly!

They had likely been notified to evacuate.

Mo Fan exclaimed in shock, "What's going on? Has Bo City been invaded by demons?"

"Isn't this proof enough?" Song Jie said, looking toward the city.

"I need to find my dad and Xin Xia!!" Mo Fan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly left.

"The students of Tian Lan Magic High School have all left. Xin Xia should be fine. Your dad might have been arranged to go to the Safe Zone too," Song Jie said.

Hearing this, Mo Fan's restless heart calmed a little, but he still felt uneasy.

"We should figure out how to get to the Safe Zone," Song Jie said, looking at the streets in the distance where demons roamed.

Although his current strength was comparable to a High-level Mage, his Magic Energy was not infinite.

So, if he were surrounded by a large number of demons, even someone as strong as him would end up dead here.

Mo Fan nodded. At the very least, he wanted to go to the Safe Zone to see if his dad and Xin Xia were there.

After all, relying on just him alone to rescue people was nothing short of a fool's dream!

"Song Jie, what do you think?" Mo Fan had just seen Song Jie's strength in killing that General-level Demonic Beast; now, following him was his only chance to survive.

Song Jie fell into thought. The original plot had been thrown into chaos, and he wouldn't be leading those students to the Safe Zone anymore.

So from here on out, they'd have to make their own way to the Safe Zone to survive.

"No particular thoughts. We'll find a shorter route to the Safe Zone," Song Jie said.

Hearing this, Mo Fan could only nod.

If not for Song Jie being here, just him alone—if he ran into a General-level Demonic Beast—he'd definitely be dead.

"I'll follow your lead," Mo Fan stated directly. After all, he wanted to make it to the Safe Zone alive too.

"We'll take the south district. That's the closest to the Safe Zone," Song Jie said.

"Alright!"

Mo Fan nodded immediately.

Song Jie had the strength to kill a General-level; as long as they weren't surrounded by Demonic Beasts, handling a single one was no problem!

"Let's go!"

As soon as Song Jie finished speaking, he took the lead and left the spot, with Mo Fan following closely behind.

The two of them came down from the back hill and headed toward the street not far away.

On the street, quite a few Demonic Beasts were roaming around, but they were all just Servant-level ones.

"Let's wait for them to pass before we go," Song Jie said.

If they couldn't go around, they'd have no choice but to strike, even if it meant alerting the enemy.

As they passed by, some houses had turned into rubble, and cars were wrecked, clogging the lanes.

After detouring for a while, they spotted a large group of Demonic Beasts slowly approaching, with General-level ones among them.

"There are actually three General-level Demonic Beasts in there!" Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise as he looked at them.

But he also knew that if Song Jie used that spell from before, these Demonic Beasts would be dead for sure.

However, if that happened, getting out of here would be tough.

With so many Demonic Beasts, Mo Fan asked, "Song Jie, what do we do now? Keep detouring?"

"No more detours. I'm planning to give them a surprise," Song Jie said with a faint smile.

"Surprise?" Mo Fan was about to say something, but he knew Song Jie wouldn't gamble with their lives, so he didn't ask.

"In a moment, after I take them out, we'll move immediately. Don't hesitate," Song Jie instructed.

"Got it!"

Mo Fan nodded firmly.

Song Jie looked at the massive gathering of Demonic Beasts here—at least over a hundred of them!

If he wiped them all out in one go, it would relieve some pressure for the Military Mages of Bo City.

What's more!

He had the ability to take out this entire batch of Demonic Beasts!

"Radiance Great Burst" had too small a range to handle these Demonic Beasts!

So! He would use the Novice Level Two spell of the Light element, which had been strengthened six times, to deal with them!

His Light element Novice Level Two spell had been upgraded from "Radiance" to...

Radiance Arrow → Radiance-Light Arrow → Radiance → Radiance-Laser → Radiance-Fire Laser → Radiance Laser!

His six-times-strengthened "Radiance Laser" could now rival the power of an Advanced Level Two spell!

With that kind of power, handling so many Demonic Beasts was more than enough!

The reason he chose it was also because of its wide range, sufficient to kill all these Demonic Beasts!

"Mo Fan, get ready!"

Song Jie called out to Mo Fan, preparing to unleash the spell on those Demonic Beasts!

Mo Fan nodded, also looking forward to seeing how Song Jie would take out these Demonic Beasts!

Then, Song Jie slowly raised his arm, and a massive golden light orb began to condense in his palm!
