Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 236: Mu He’s Death!

On the ruins of the inn, Zu Jiming coughed up blood, his eyes full of hatred as he looked at Lu Jun.

Ever since he arrived in the ancient capital, he had been frustrated and wanted to take revenge on Lu Jun and Ding Yumian.

But his soul had been imprinted by a Calamity diastar's mental brand, rendering him incapable of harboring any thoughts of harming the two, and even restricting his abilities in that regard.

This only made Zu Jiming's hatred and anger grow stronger. Just then, members of the Black Vatican took the initiative to approach him.

Not only did they help him remove the mental restraints, but they also tempted him with promises of the Ancient King's legacy deep in the Dark Abyss. They said he would be allowed to enter and inherit its power.

Zu Jiming was tempted, mainly because he knew his family's identity descendants of the Ancient King.

Unfortunately, after two thousand years of chaos, they had relocated their ancestral grounds and forgotten all the details.

While he was fantasizing about inheriting the Ancient King's legacy and standing atop the world, Lu Jun appeared.

Then the Black Vatican's situation quickly fell apart, his fantasy shattered, and he himself was dragged into the mess.

Zu Jiming growled, "If it weren't for you, I would have succeeded already."

"Heh, I gave you a chance. For the sake of the Zu family, I spared you once."

Seeing this, Lu Jun said coldly, "If you had only targeted me, I might not have been able to do anything to you. But now, you've involved yourself with the Black Vatican seeking your own death."

As his words fell, he swung his arm, and a jet-black sword light flashed.

Puchi!

The next moment, a massive bloody hole opened in Zu Jiming's forehead, blood and brain matter splattered out. His eyes were stunned, and his body went limp his breath completely gone.

Lu Jun would not leave behind any hidden threats. His principle was to root them out completely.

Even if the Zu family came, they would have nothing to say.

Having dealt with the little insect, he turned his gaze toward Mu He in midair.

The other's face turned pale, with thoughts of escaping.

But it was too late. Below, Lu Mei's graceful figure ignited with soaring flames. Her once silky black hair turned a vibrant red, and delicate patterns spread across her fair skin. Alluring and exotic, she looked like a goddess of fire.

Rumble—!

A monarch-level imposing aura burst forth, her terrifying domain covering several kilometers. The entire area turned crimson, fire clouds spread across the sky, illuminating it like a brilliant sunset in daylight.

Instantly, golden-red fire lotuses rose out of nowhere in all directions. Every member of the Black Vatican and every demon beast they controlled spontaneously ignited, turning to ashes and dust.

The high temperature distorted the air. Several high-tier mages, dozens of mid-tier mages, and hundreds of servant-level beasts were instantly incinerated—their bodies completely burned away. Black-gray ash swirled in the sky.

The Imperial Mages were startled, thinking some hidden fire-elemental monarch had been residing in the city.

Only when they saw Lu Mei's dominant and breathtaking presence did they breathe a sigh of relief and feel awe this was a Super-tier mage.

Lu Mei's whole body glowed like crystal glass, two overlapping silhouettes flickered faintly on her figure. Surrounded by a vast sea of fire, her true form was obscured.

She looked at Mu He, instantly scaring the out of his wits. He flapped the wings on his back, attempting to flee.

But Lu Mei snorted coldly and reached out with a gesture.

Mu He, hovering in midair, suddenly felt a mysterious, wicked fire ignite in his heart. It rapidly grew scorching and unbearable. Flames spread through his limbs and bones, his internal organs burning in agony.

"Ah!" He screamed miserably, coughing up blood laced with crimson flames.

Before he could think of a way to suppress it, the heartfire inside him surged uncontrollably.

Boom! A loud explosion echoed through the night sky, spreading across the outer city of the ancient capital.

Mu He's entire body exploded, transforming into a miniature sun hanging in the air, lighting up the entire city as if it were daytime.

Then, countless flames rained down, in silver streaks and sparks like a grand display of fireworks.

Mu He was dead!

Too domineering!

Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and the Imperial Mages were all stunned. No matter how powerful a fire mage they had seen before, all had to bow before her might.

Little Flame Fairy even jumped with joy, cheering, "Big Sister is amazing!" ƒreewebɳovel.com

At this moment, Lu Jun took a deep breath. That so-called "big shot" they once feared and didn't even dare report back in Bo City...

Now, in front of the siblings, was as fragile as an ant easily crushed to death.

This is what it means to act only when you have the strength to back it up.

On this trip, Lu Jun brought Jiang Feng and the Black Serpent along. Even tearing face with Salan didn't frighten him.

"What a pity. This trap was originally meant for Wu Ku."

He shook his head, but didn't get greedy. With a thought, he extracted a bluish soul from the fire clouds above, like a ghostly moon descending, and absorbed it into the White Tiger Pendant on his chest.

A fine Ghost material—Mu He's soul was his!

Thus, all the Black Vatican members lurking in Bo City were slain by his hand.

Lu Jun's eyes turned distant as he remembered something. Although Yu Ang was destined to become one of the eight Soul Essences for Mo Fan's ascension as the Evil Saint King, he had now been destroyed soul scattered to the winds.

But it didn't matter Mo Fan had no shortage of enemies. Compared to the rest, Yu Ang wasn't even worth ranking.

At the side, Lu Mei retracted all her aura, a satisfied expression on her face. Her Golden Heartburn Domain, especially with Jiang Feng's amplification, had become a complete slaughter tool. Not a single member of the Black Clergy escaped.

The Imperial Mages exchanged glances, ready to begin battlefield cleanup.

At the same time, a formidable figure descended from the night sky, scattering silver shards across the air.

Yao Ting, a Super-Level Space Mage, saw the scene and exclaimed in surprise, "Strange, where are the Black Vatican?"

An official mage stepped forward and responded with a wry smile, "They were all eliminated by civilian mages."

Yao Ting froze briefly, then looked at Lu Jun, Mo Fan, and the others with admiration. "Truly, heroes arise from the youth."

Meanwhile, at the Magic Association in the Clock Tower of the Ancient Capital.

Just as Lu Jun was resting, and the inn holding Fang Gu was attacked, Han Ji received the intel.

In the dead of night, he summoned the remaining Super-Level experts still in the clock tower.

Zhu Meng had just gone to sleep when he was forcibly awakened. Rubbing his temples, he asked in confusion, "What's going on? We're entering the Dark Abyss operation tomorrow. Don't we need rest?"

The other Super-Level experts nearby were equally puzzled.

At this, the elderly Han Ji sighed and said, "The place where Fang Gu was being held was attacked by the Black Vatican just moments ago."

"All the hidden members in the city made their move. Luckily, we evacuated the civilians in time. Everyone is now safely in the Inner City's protective zone, so there wasn't too much damage."

"But!" He paused, sweeping his sharp gaze over the seven or eight people present. "I have reason to believe that there's a Black Vatican mole among us."

Those words shocked everyone, and the atmosphere instantly grew heavy.

Han Ji shook his head. "I only disclosed the location to you all this morning, and by nightfall, it was attacked."

Zhu Meng furrowed his brow and murmured, "That really doesn't make sense... Do you have any leads, President Han?"

"I do!" Unexpectedly, Han Ji replied firmly, "According to our informant, the infiltrator is none other than Salan herself and it's a woman."

The male Super-Level mages lit up with excitement. This was a huge catch.

Of the seven Red Cardinal leaders worldwide, not a single one had ever been captured. If they were to take down Salan, their names would resound throughout the world.

But the only two female Super-Level mages in the room didn't look too pleased. They each turned suspicious gazes on the other.
