Zu Xiangtian headed to the village alone. His Wind Wings only had two wings, but they were spinning rapidly, like the propellers of a helicopter. They produced strong winds as he swept towards the village.
The village mostly consisted of wooden huts with straw roofs. Even the stalls with delicate gifts in the middle of the village were buffeted by the strong winds!
“Damn it, why is there a typhoon in this season!?” a vendor selling sandals cursed.
“That’s no typhoon. Didn’t you see a Mage flying in the sky? Assh***, stop putting up a show. We are doing business here. Go away!” a tanned woman selling beach dresses pointed at Zu Xiangtian and scolded him.
The tourists cursed out after they realized a Mage was responsible for the strong gusts. Many of them were throwing stuff into the air.
“Imbeciles,” Zu Xiangtian harrumphed coldly. He simply ignored the crowd.
He looked around, searching for Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.
Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue were not hiding. They were at the beach in front of the resort.
The strong winds completely ruined the atmosphere, stirring up the sand into the air.
Mu Bai was treating Norman’s wounds in their room. He initially planned to bring Norman to the Parthenon Temple overnight, but he was afraid that the man might die from the slightest bump along the journey.
Kris had already notified the Parthenon Temple. A Muse would be here before daylight to treat his injuries. Mo Fan and the others had no choice but to look after him for the time being.
They were now convinced that Norman must have caused Su Lu some trouble and ruined his plan to capture the dragon. It was definitely good news for Mo Fan and the others.
The Heavens would eventually serve justice upon those contemptible people. Norman did what Mo Fan had wanted to do. Unfortunately, they would not stand a chance against Su Lu and the powerful Mages on the mountain. However, they would not have any trouble preventing Norman from falling into the hands of Su Lu’s men!
“Humph, you’re too naive if you think I don’t know what you’re up to… where are you hiding Norman? You won’t know how you died in the end if you dare oppose us!” Zu Xiangtian had found Mo Fan at the beach, and looked down at him arrogantly!
“I’ve just beaten a bunch of lackeys, did their master finally show up?” Mo Fan faced Zu Xiangtian fearlessly.
Mo Fan would let Chairman Shao Zheng deal with someone like Su Lu. He might not be bold enough to provoke Su Lu, knowing he was simply asking for death, but who did this Zu Xiangtian think he was?
Besides, the Zu Clan was in charge of the Luba Clan. Mo Fan did not believe the Zu Clan had nothing to do with the kidnapping of the children. Jiang Yu had run into some trouble tracking down the culprit while he was investigating the incident in their country. He believed the Zu Clan must have been making the arrangements for the Guild of the Wicked, and was why the officials in Feiniao City had never revealed the truth to the public!
“Mo Fan, do you know what the renowned clans see you as? You are like a wild dog with rabies, biting every person you stumble into! You are unruly, but we tolerated you many times. After all, you have made quite a name for yourself, but it doesn’t mean we can’t get rid of you! You have offended many renowned families and clans in our country, and even the Mu Clan sees you as a thorn in their side!
“The Lu Clan is going to make you pay for the two lives they lost. Do you really think the Lu Clan doesn’t dare to fight back as you trample them? As for our Zu Clan, we simply treat it as if we were bitten by a wild dog. If any of us were serious about taking you out, do you think you would still be alive now?” Zu Xiangtian was quite familiar with Mo Fan’s situation.
“I thought your speech would be special enough to send chills down my spine, but it’s the same meaningless words over and over again,” Mo Fan answered blandly, while digging in his ear with his little finger.
He was really curious; were these disciples of renowned clans all cast from the same mold? Why did they have to act so self-righteous and despise him whenever they stumbled into him? Their speeches normally focused on the fact that he was just common-born, and how dare he oppose the nobles. Why were they not embarrassed by the fact he had beaten almost every person they had sent after him instead?
If everyone in the renowned clans was the same, well, he would seriously find fighting the Black Vatican to be more interesting. The Black Vatican’s beliefs still sounded a little reasonable and logical at times, but the beliefs of these renowned clans were all about lowering the average intelligence level of ordinary people!
“I’m just telling the truth, yet someone is still being so full of himself. I was a batch earlier than you, so I didn’t really want to fight you, or people would say that I’m bullying you. But since you still don’t know your place, I think it’s necessary to show you what a real expert is… Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, I just want to show you that your title as the strongest participant in the World College Tournament, the strongest young Mage in our country, and your Double Innate Elements are nothing, but a joke to me!” Zu Xiangtian exclaimed.
A person’s strength would decide everything. Zu Xiangtian knew Mo Fan was a wild dog who had no desire for power and influence. Playing up his influence at the international level to Mo Fan was like discussing magic to those imbeciles in the village: utterly pointless!
Therefore, Zu Xiangtian was planning to communicate with Mo Fan in the language he understood.
Didn’t Mo Fan think he was the strongest Mage in the younger generations?
He was only the strongest in his own environment. It was like a high schooler claiming to be the strongest because he could not find any worthy opponent in his school. However, his title as the strongest high schooler was shattered as soon as he enrolled in a higher magic institution.
Zu Xiangtian did not trouble Mo Fan in the past because he only saw Mo Fan as a student. Meanwhile, he was already on the international stage, a bigger environment. If he challenged a student, it was not worth mentioning, even if he won the duel. However, since they were on the same level now, he was no longer considered to be bullying Mo Fan!
“Very well, the best kind of problem is the one that can be settled with fists,” Mo Fan nodded. He finally noticed Zu Xiangtian was different from the idiots he had stumbled into before.
“Ask Mu Ningxue to come out, too. Aren’t you both considered the strongest duo in our country? I don’t think it’s necessary to waste my time on two different fights,” Zu Xiangtian looked around, searching for Mu Ningxue.
Many people wanted to challenge Mu Ningxue, especially after she had established Fanxue Mountain.
A lot of people who struggled to find Mo Fan had decided to challenge Mu Ningxue instead. Mu Ningxue normally spent her time at Fanxue Mountain. Unlike Mo Fan, she rarely left the country, so the challenges from proud young Mages easily stacked up into a pile. Mu Ningxue would accept a few challenges from the strongest people among the challengers once in a while. It was a type of training for her, too!
Mu Ningxue’s winning streak had lasted for close to a year. A media company had even volunteered to handle the challenges on behalf of Fanxue Mountain. Mo Fan had been missing a lot over the years, allowing Mu Ningxue to secure the limelight. Every young Mage in their country had heard of her!
Zu Xiangtian was aware of Mu Ningxue’s achievements. Therefore, things would be a lot simpler with Mu Ningxue here.
He could take on both of them alone. No one would say that he was bullying them!
“I can handle you myself!” Mo Fan did not want Mu Ningxue to be involved.
“You are overestimating yourself! You are just an Advanced Mage now. Ask Mu Ningxue to show herself. We’ll fight somewhere more spacious. It’s going to be troublesome if I end up killing some of the imbeciles in the village if we fight here!” Zu Xiangtian scoffed.
“I told you, I can handle you by myself!” Mo Fan refuted instantly.
“Big brother, what are you doing?” Apas suddenly showed up.
Mo Fan always thought Apas used her innocent face as a disguise. However, he had eventually realized that she was not pretending to be harmless on purpose. It was just how she looked naturally!
“What are you doing here?” Mo Fan frowned. He did not understand why Apas would show up now.
Zu Xiangtian’s eyes glittered, and he quickly glanced at Apas, who was wearing thin nightwear. She must have come out of the hut after hearing the noise. Her appearance strongly tempted him.
His grudge against Mo Fan did not only consist of the conflict between them, but the fact that Mo Fan had a little lamb he was particularly attracted to by his side!
-You are no match for him, don’t bother fighting him,- Apas communicated with Mo Fan mentally.
-Are you sure?- Mo Fan said.
-Mm, the gap between the Super Level and the Advanced Level is too huge. You won’t have trouble against a Ruler-inferior creature or a Super Mage with only a single Element in the Super Level, but this guy is stronger than Bartholomew. Even Mu Ningxue and you together won’t be able to defeat him, and my mind control isn’t going to be effective against him, either,- Apas declared confidently.
Apas had a sharp sense of danger. This Zu Xiangtian was a great threat to them!
Even though Apas hated Mo Fan’s guts, they were currently on the same boat. If Mo Fan capsized, it would severely damage her soul. Zu Xiangtian might actually have a chance to turn her into his plaything then!
-What should we do, then?- Mo Fan asked quickly.
Mo Fan initially thought this Zu Xiangtian was only slightly stronger than Zu Kuangli and Zhao Liwan. He should be able to face the man himself, yet he began to doubt it when Apas told him the man was stronger than Bartholomew.
He was not dumb, nor was he naive enough to think that he could defeat every Super Mage. He still had the scars left by Bartholomew’s Demon Judgment Sword!
