“Isn’t…isn’t this…” Philip was astounded, staring at Mo Fan, who had transformed into a fiery demon!

It was rare to see anyone in his current state, unless his control of the Fire Element had reached an extremely outstanding level!

Philip took a closer look and sensed a different life form from Mo Fan.

“An Elemental Summoned Beast with the ability to possess the Summoner!” Philip realized. His face immediately turned cold.

The flames engulfing Mo Fan had smashed the ice around him into pieces. The strong flames immediately spread out and took the shape of bright, blazing-red feathers!

The feathers formed a pair of wings. The flames jetting out from the wings thrust Mo Fan forward. A Meteorite Fist brimming with strength swept across the darkness and took the shape of a fiery dragon, ramming into Philip’s body!

Philip was planning to back away, but Mo Fan’s speed was simply too shocking. Philip had to use both hands to reactively summon several hills of ice before himself.

The ice hills were almost as tall as the five-story hospital. Their thickness when stacked together was as wide as a building. However, when the Meteorite Fist slammed into the ice hills, they instantly turned into white smoke and dispersed!

The shockwave from the punch knocked Philip flying!

Philip landed on an empty street. He quickly stabilized himself as he fixed his eyes on Mo Fan.

The kid was like a completely different person compared to the other day. Philip did admit that he had slightly underestimated Mo Fan’s strength.

Even so, the kid still did not stand a chance against him!

“Ice Phoenix!”

At Philip’s shout, countless tiny ice crystals combined into an Ice Phoenix with clear edges above him. The four icy wings of the phoenix could cover the entire street when they were fully spread out!

The buildings on both sides of the street froze instantly as soon as the Ice Phoenix showed up. The freezing white energy turned everything it came into contact with into ice statues!

The Ice Phoenix beat its wings and flew at Mo Fan with great force. Mo Fan could sense an overwhelmingly destructive Ice energy from the phoenix!

Seeing the Ice Phoenix coming right at him, the wings on Mo Fan’s back immediately spat out flames and launched him into the sky. However, the Ice Phoenix also beat its wings and chased after him, as if it was alive.

Mo Fan’s wings did not grant him the ability to fly. It only served as a temporary speed boost by driving him forward. When he saw the Ice Phoenix flying away from the street and rising into the sky, he immediately gathered the flames on him to protect himself with the Calamity Fire and the Rose Flame!

BANG!

The Ice Phoenix broke into pieces when it caught up to Mo Fan. The white Ice Element were spreading in an arc across the night sky!

Countless icicles scattered across the sky. It looked like a giant cloud of ice looming over the residential area, reflecting the colorful neon lights of the city in sparkles…

Mo Fan was currently at the center of the cloud of icicles. His imperious flames barely prevented the icicles from penetrating his body. However, he was currently in a pinch, like he had fallen into a lake of ice. The icicles would crush him into pieces if he tried to move around!

“Break, break, break!”

Mo Fan threw his fists around, smashing the icicles surrounding him. The broken pieces fell from the sky and turned into water before they reached the streets and houses below.

Finally, Mo Fan managed to break a huge hole in the cloud of ice. The melted ice started pouring down at the streets like a waterfall.

Mo Fan escaped from the icicles and landed on the roof of a burger shop. He immediately sensed icicles flying at him from all directions before he could warm himself back up!

Each of the icicles was around six meters long and was sharp as a blade, sealing off every possible escape route he had.

Mo Fan quickly unleashed the scorching flames in his body upon seeing this. A blazing pillar of flame rose into the sky.

The icicles melted instantly after colliding with Mo Fan’s fiery pillar. It was so hot that even the cloud of ice in the sky was slowly turning into water vapor…

“Still trying to use magic?” Mo Fan glanced at Philip and shoved his palm at him!

A huge billboard from a building nearby fell right on Philip’s head.

Philip raised his head. The billboard was almost as heavy as a car, falling while dragging its wires along and triggering sparks. He was forced to stop channeling a spell and dodge to the side.

“Rise!”

With a thought, Mo Fan uprooted the street lamps along the street and lifted them into the air, turning them into his weapons. As Mo Fan pointed his finger, the lamps all flew at Philip fiercely.

While Philip was busy handling the street lamps flying at him, Mo Fan reached out and slowly lifted a fireball.

The fireball was unlike the Fire Burst that he normally cast. A Fire Burst was basically as big as a C-cup breast, just enough to be held with a single hand. When the Fire Burst landed on its target, it would then set the target on fire, or apply the effects of Burning Bones or Rupture.

The fireball that Mo Fan was lifting with both his hands was far more shocking. It was like a giant iron pan when he first formed it, but it grew to the size of a house in just two seconds!

Mo Fan tossed the fireball at Philip. The enormous fireball smashed into the roads and kept on rolling, laying down a blazing red carpet of flames!

Philip was stunned when he saw a fireball almost as wide as the street rolling at him. He crazily summoned ice walls to stop it, but without his Domain, he was unable to construct a strong enough defense in a short period of time!

Not only did the enormous fireball smash the ice walls into pieces, it struck Philip and rolled directly over him!

—

“Such a ridiculous move!” Zhao Manyan could not believe his eyes when he saw the fireball in the distance.

—

Philip rose to his feet from the scorched street miserably, his armor now on. He glared at Mo Fan, before looking at Mu Ningxue on the building in the distance.

He was a lot weaker without his Domain of Hailstones. It felt like he was unable to do anything he tried.

He looked to the side, pretending to launch an attack at Mo Fan, but he suddenly used an Ice Lock to drag himself into the air.

The ice chains flew across the sky, including the one that he was standing on!

One of the ice chains was heading straight toward the building Mu Ningxue was on. Philip quickly hopped between the chains and stepped on the one that was quickly approaching Mu Ningxue.

Mo Fan’s strength had exceeded his imagination. Philip knew he had to take out the Ice Maga that was meddling with his Domain first, so he could establish it. With his Domain, it would be a lot easier for him to take out Mo Fan!

However, Zhao Manyan and Jiang Shaoxu were not going to let him have his way. They had been hiding close to Mu Ningxue, waiting for Philip to take the bait!

“Heart Confusion Imprisoning Formation!”

The Psychic trap that Jiang Shaoxu laid down earlier now came in handy. Before Philip was in range to attack Mu Ningxue, several Psychic Demonic Swords appeared in all directions, stabbing at his head!

The Psychic Demonic Swords was able to inflict enormous pain to both the target’s mind and spirit.

Philip was pretty alert. He immediately altered his path as soon as he stepped into the Psychic trap, trying to withdraw from it.

The Psychic Demonic Swords did not land on him, yet his mind was temporarily in a chaotic state, preventing him from casting complicated spells for the time being.

“Mo Fan, it’s your chance, take him out quick!” Jiang Shaoxu yelled.

Mo Fan was right on Philip’s tail. He was able to match Philip’s speed, especially with the help of the fiery feathers driving him forward like a rocket. He instantly sprang forward like a missile!

“Meteorite Fist!” Flames surged across the air. Mo Fan sprang forward at an astounding speed, already surrounded by several imperious fiery dragons as he was accumulating energy.

The Calamity Fire erupted with a volcano’s destructive aura. The light emitted by his fist swept across the night sky like a meteor, lighting up the streets below it!

It was the same Meteorite Fist, but since the Calamity Fire was a lot stronger now, its damage had escalated significantly. When Philip turned around, he saw the flames of death locked onto him and looming over his minuscule figure. He had nowhere to escape to!

The fist and the Calamity Fire knocked Philip back down towards the same street that was now in ruins. While he was still arcing through the air, the fiery feathers on Mo Fan’s back started disintegrating…

“Thousand Feathers Fiery Phoenix!”

The fiery wings spread into thousands of fiery feathers, lighting up the space around Mo Fan like stars, a domineering halo of flames!

The guy had attacked Mo Fan with an ice phoenix, so now Mo Fan returned the favor with a fire phoenix!

Unlike in the past, the feathers did not fly to the target and explode in waves. They actually combined into a fiery phoenix in mid-flight. The creature beat its wings and set the night sky on fire…

The Thousand Feathers Fiery Phoenix followed Philip closely and crashed into him as he landed on the ground. A stunning mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The whole place was dyed red by the overwhelming energy!

“How…How strong!” Zhao Manyan, who was merely around to give morale support and protect Mu Ningxue, was stunned.

The Meteorite Fist, surrounded by its fiery dragons, and the Thousand Feathers Fiery Phoenix were both utterly spectacular. Not only were Mo Fan’s Fire Spells extremely cool visually, their destructive power was enough to make many experienced Advanced Mages feel ashamed!

Little Flame Belle’s transformation had allowed Mo Fan’s Fire Element to evolve completely!
