The Black Vatican Wouldn't Dare Cheat This Much!

"Remains - Undead Generation!"

As the star track formed, the train's originally solid floor became a viscous mire. One by one, Black Rot Corpses crawled out, their empty eye sockets filled with a hunger for flesh.

"Go, my little darlings, it's lunchtime."

A sinister arc stretched across his lips, and a pathological light gleamed in Tu Chao's eyes. Under his command, the Black Rot Corpses howled and charged toward the carriage entrance!

"Get back where you came from!" Liu Guifang roared, "Wind Disk - Tornado!"

During the earlier chaos, the carriage had been packed with people. He hadn't been able to go all out, which had led to the Black Rot Corpses trampling lives.

Now, he stood here, and not a single one of these disgusting corpses would get past him!

Fierce winds raged within the carriage, and the Black Rot Corpses, caught in the Wind Disk, were thrown heavily onto the train.

The still-moving train lurched violently, as if it would derail and flip over at any second.

Liu Guifang was startled and instinctively stopped his Magic. But he was wary; the madmen of the Black Vatican were not!

"Heh..."

A flicker of mockery flashed in Tu Chao's eyes. "A kind-hearted Judge, taste this! Raging Waves - Repel!"

A surging flood crashed down from mid-air. The narrowness of the carriage, however, only amplified the skill's destructive power.

"Shadow Dodge - Phasing!"

Liu Guifang's body merged into the shadows of the seats, and he sustained no damage.

But his anger surged like magma, as he watched helplessly as the Raging Waves, carrying countless Black Rot Corpses, swept towards the next carriage.

Liu Guifang couldn't even imagine how many lives this corrosive water would claim.

"You lunatic! Giant Shadow Nail - Pear Thorn!"

As an Intermediate level Shadow Element Magic, its lethality was extraordinary. Typically, there were three nails, front and back: the first to impede movement, the second to steady the spirit, and the third to lock the soul.

Each additional Giant Shadow Nail would exponentially increase its powerful control and devastating destructive capabilities, until the enemy's body and soul were utterly destroyed.

Deviants like Mo Fan, who could unleash all six nails at once, were rare. The three nails Liu Guifang unleashed were equally formidable to other Mages of the same level!

"Your opponent is me." Lu Wanqing sneered as he connected his star track. "Light Blessing - Holy Shield!"

As the Giant Shadow Nails touched the golden shield, they emitted a crackling, evaporating sound. Stripped of their stealth, the Giant Shadow Nails were easily dodged by Tu Chao.

Liu Guifang felt so stifled he wanted to spit blood!

Meanwhile.

The Raging Waves had reached Xu Fang. Countless Black Rot Corpses were swept within them, their mangled heads roaring at him from the crest of the waves.

"Damn it all!"

Xu Fang had never seen anything like this. It was even more bizarre and terrifying than Yang Zuohe's Intermediate Magic back then!

With no way to evade, Xu Fang gritted his teeth, channeling Demonic Energy into his star track. The golden Star Seeds and crimson Star Ring lit up simultaneously once more!

"High Temperature Core!"

Crimson-gold flames danced wildly around Xu Fang as the core, carving out a semicircular clearing in the flood.

The Black Rot Corpses within the Raging Waves waved their broken limbs, attempting to attack Xu Fang, but they turned to ash the moment they touched the flames.

This was the second combination skill Xu Fang had comprehended since the Crimson Fire Light Array!

This move, derived from Fire Seed - Bone Burn, utilized the violent and unparalleled power of flames to forcibly burn the surrounding elemental cores, converting them into pure Demonic Energy condensed within oneself.

In other words, this was a charging skill!

Xu Fang's golden hair fluttered in the wind, his eyes turning crimson-gold. The surging energy made him feel as though his body would explode at any second!

"Crimson Fire Light Array!!!!! "

All of you die for me!!!!!

This was Xu Fang's full-power strike. The Raging Waves in the carriage had been dyed crimson-gold. Not a single Black Rot Corpse remained; all had been transcended into lingering spirits.

Carriage 6.

The sudden burst of light stunned the three combatants.

"Is that Radiance? No, this terrifying temperature..." Liu Guifang, as a Judge, was quite knowledgeable.

Even he couldn't quite figure out the opponent's methods, but judging by the annihilated Black Rot Corpses, this person was an ally, not an enemy!

"I am a Judge from the Bell Tower Judgment Society! I request your assistance in apprehending the Black Vatican criminals!" Liu Guifang shouted.

His response was a sudden surge in temperature and violent shaking of the carriage!

Tu Chao and Lu Wanqing's expressions changed.

This guy had severed the connections between the carriages!

Carriages 5 and 6 had detached from the main body of the passenger train. Due to inertia, the carriages were about to leave the tracks!

In a one-on-one fight, neither of them was Liu Guifang's match. They could only maintain the upper hand through cooperation and by holding hostages.

This was precisely why they had waited until noon, when the Maglev Train arrived at Yangcheng, a godforsaken small city, to launch their attack.

There were accompanying mages on the train, but absolutely no Intermediate Mages. Mages of this level could be local emperors in small towns, so why would they be willing to be ordinary train police?

Everything was calculated, but the appearance of the mysterious person before them had completely destroyed their trump cards!

BOOM----!

With a loud bang, the carriage flew off the tracks and crashed heavily onto the ground. The carriage, already riddled with holes from Magic, finally ended its mission and turned into a pile of debris.

The four of them were also thrown far out.

"Shadow Dodge - Phasing!"

"Water Guard - Guardian!"

"Light Blessing - Holy Shield!"

"Sand Shield!"

Mages' bodies are fragile. Even Intermediate Mages are not much stronger than ordinary people. Falling like this would be certain death.

In the critical moment, the four of them used their respective methods to protect their bodies, landing either steadily or in a disheveled manner.

"Bastard! Bastard!!" Lu Wanqing, his face covered in blood, staggered to his feet.

Light Blessing's defense against physical damage was far inferior to its defense against Magic damage. In his panic, he fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if his internal organs had shattered!

Not far from him, a young man with golden hair stood up at the same time. The broken magic equipment that formed the shield turned into light and disappeared into the air.

"Damn brat!" Lu Wanqing saw Xu Fang's young face, and the fear in his eyes immediately turned into cruelty: "Fire Seed - Detonation!"

He was not a dual-element Intermediate Mage like Liu Guifang and Tu Chao. Lu Wanqing's Fire Element Star Chart had not yet been completed.

But how old was the young man in front of him? He probably wasn't even an adult. A Level 3 Fire Seed should be enough to deal with him!

After all, no matter how monstrous someone was at this age, could they be an Intermediate Mage?

----Even the Black Vatican couldn't cheat that much!

"Brat, your Demonic Energy must be depleted by now. Let's see what you have to resist me," Lu Wanqing said sinisterly. "Don't worry, I'll spare your life and let someone inflict the greatest torture in the world upon you. Finally, I'll drag your half-dead self into the Ghost Acid Pool and turn you into a monstrous Black Beast Demon that is neither human nor ghost..."

The scorching flames had already reached Xu Fang!

"You wasted my train ticket, ruined my luggage, and now you dare to threaten me..." Xu Fang was furious. "A mere Mortal Fire without even a Spirit Seed, who gave you the courage to hurt me?"

"Fire Seed - Bone Burning!"

Fire Seed against Fire Seed!

Let this old scoundrel see what a real Fire Element is!!!
