As the battle grew more and more intense, one house after another was reduced to rubble. Even the stone pavement was blown apart by the intense heat.
During this process, the townspeople began to scream in terror. Under Hogg's lead, they all ran towards the west side of the town, their faces filled with terror.
"Dance of the Flaming Serpents!"
Suddenly, the Velocidragon ceased its attacks. The magus on its back leapt into the air, his hands dancing in a rhythmic pattern.
With a cold voice, seven fire serpents, each dozens of meters long, began to coalesce in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, each of the fire serpents seemed to be alive. Their scales were clearly defined, and their enormous size made one's heart tremble.
The seven fire serpents circled in the air above the town, burning half the sky red. In the blink of an eye, the temperature of the entire Wushan township rose by dozens of degrees, as though it had become a giant oven.
"Dance of the Flaming Serpents, a spell of the eighth rank!"
"That old man is actually a magus of the eighth rank!"
Staring at the seven giant fire serpents in the air above the town, Hillman's face changed. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. When he looked at the old man again, his eyes were filled with dread.
Of the same rank, a magus of the eighth rank had a far higher status than a warrior of the eighth rank.
This was because on the battlefield, a magus of the eighth rank was equivalent to a large-scale killing machine!
In the entire Kingdom of Fenlai, the number of magi of the eighth rank could be counted on two hands!
"Why would a magus of the eighth rank appear in a small, remote town like ours?" Hogg frowned, his face solemn.
"Lord Father, I can't become a Dragonblood Warrior, but I can become a magus. I can become as powerful as him!" Little Linley stared at the seven giant fire serpents, his eyes seeing stars.
Witnessing the scene on the battlefield, everyone in the town was stunned!
"Not good. Quick, run!"
The leader of the squad of seven seemed to have sensed the terrifying aura hidden within the fire serpents, and he immediately began to shout.
"Do you think you can run? Accept the baptism of death! "
The old man's cold voice was like a bone-piercing knife, stabbing into the hearts of the seven men.
In the next instant, with a loud boom, the seven giant fire serpents descended from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the houses in the town began to burn wildly. The flames rose to the heavens. It was a scene of disaster.
"Lord Hogg, our homes are gone."
Looking at the raging flames, the residents who had already arrived at the edge of the town felt a sense of sorrow.
On the battlefield, the seven fire snakes shot out by the old man were like living creatures. Each of them quickly found a target and charged toward it.
"Ahhh!"
Amidst the shrill screams, seven fire snakes could be seen chasing after the seven members of the team.
First, the two female magicians were engulfed by the fire snakes, then the four warriors, and finally the leader of the team.
"Dead, all … all dead!"
Staring at the seven charred corpses, the townspeople all gulped, staring in terror at the magus of the eighth rank on the back of the Velocidragon.
Rumble!
The earth trembled once more. In the space of a few breaths, the Velocidragon carried the old man over to the seven corpses.
"What a waste of time."
The old man glanced at the seven corpses with disdain. He waved his hand and a purple diamond with a dreamy halo flew out from the ashes of the leader's corpse.
"It really is the D 'Bero Shadow Diamond. This trip was worth it!"
The old man appraised the brick in his hand, then laughed loudly. His gaze fell upon Hogg, Hillman, and the others.
Sensing the old man's gaze, the townspeople all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. Their faces were filled with terror.
"Whose territory is this?" The old man put away the D 'Bero Shadow Diamond and said calmly.
"Mighty lord magus, Wushan township is my territory." Hearing the old man's question, Hogg stepped forward and clasped his hands in a very respectful manner.
"In this battle, your town lost quite a bit of money. These corpses should have some gold coins on them. Consider them my compensation."
Hearing these words, the townspeople all let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed as though this mighty magus of the eighth rank wouldn't kill any more people.
But just as they were feeling relieved, the old man suddenly frowned. His gaze fell on Linley. "Eh? Kid, what's that in your hand? Give it to me. "
The old man loved to collect rare treasures. When he sensed the strange energy ripples from the Coiling Dragon ring, he immediately had an idea.
"Grandpa magus, I can't give this ring to you." Little Linley gripped the Coiling Dragon ring with both hands.
"I've never failed to get anything I want!"
Hearing Linley's reply, the old man's face changed, and he let out a cold snort.
"Linley, stop messing around! Hurry up and give the ring to this mighty magus! "
Hogg and Hillman had noticed Linley's Coiling Dragon ring as well. After hearing Linley's reply, a look of panic appeared on their faces. They hurriedly began to shout.
"Dad, Uncle Hillman, this ring isn't mine. And Delin lives inside it …"
"What a dawdling little brat!"
The old man seemed to have grown impatient. With another cold snort, he waved his hand, and a flaming serpent came crashing down from above.
"Mighty lord magus, he's still a child. I'll give the ring to you right now …"
Seeing the enormous flaming serpent come crashing down from above, Hogg's face changed, filled with panic.
Even a warrior of the seventh rank wasn't able to withstand a single blow from the flaming serpent. If it really came crashing down, most likely all of the townspeople would be reduced to ash in an instant.
But no matter how Hogg begged, the old man didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
"Hundred Blade Strikes!"
Hillman leapt into the air, unsheathing the long blade at his waist and chopping viciously towards the flaming serpent.
With a piercing sound, a ray of blade energy shot out, sweeping towards the flaming serpent.
Bang!
But in an instant, the flaming serpent swallowed up the blade energy and smashed Hillman into the ground, creating a deep crater.
"Lord Hillman!" All of the townspeople and children called out.
"A mere ant. You overestimate yourself!"
The old man didn't even glance at Hillman, who was lying in the crater. His expression was one of arrogance.
Then, the old man controlled the enormous flaming serpent to continue its descent, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
"No … don't …"
The townspeople's voices were filled with terror. The scorching heat had already caused their skin to begin to bleed. Some of the more cowardly children fell to the ground on their buttocks and began to bawl.
Boom!
However, just as the enormous flaming serpent was about to swallow Linley, Hogg, and all of the townspeople, a dazzling fist shot out from within the crowd, smashing apart the enormous flaming serpent as easily as smashing rotten wood.
"Who is it?!"
The enormous flaming serpent had been smashed apart by the fist. The face of the old man on the back of the Velocidragon sank. His sinister gaze swept across the crowd as he let out a shout.
"Where did that fist come from?!"
"Lord Hogg, was it you who saved us?"
At the same time, all of the townspeople turned their heads to look around. In the end, all of their gazes fell upon Hogg.
"Many thanks to you, master, for saving our lives! Master, please show yourself! "
Hogg hurriedly clasped his fists towards the people around him, speaking words of gratitude.
"You were able to block one, but let's see if you can block six at the same time!"
The old man waved his robes and let out a cold snort. The six enormous flaming serpents in the air swung their savage maws, hissing as they swooped downwards.
Everywhere they passed, the air was scorched and distorted, emitting a terrifying sizzling sound.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, when the six enormous flaming serpents were still some distance away from the townspeople, six fist shadows suddenly appeared. Just like before, the flaming serpents were destroyed as easily as dried twigs.
"So it was you!"
Seeing the person who had attacked, Hogg frowned. He had actually been standing right next to him.
If his memory served him right, this person had been by his side from the very beginning.
"Could it be that he was the one who saved us?"
"Hey? Who is he?! "
"I don't know him. He's not from our town."
"To be able to block the Dance of the Flaming Serpents from a magus of the eighth rank, he should be of the eighth rank as well."
…..
After confirming that Chu Bei was their savior, the townspeople hurriedly went forward to express their thanks.
"Dad, this Coiling Dragon ring was given to me by him. He even said that he wanted to take me on as his disciple." Chu Bei pointed at Hogg with his little finger as he spoke.
"Haha, it seems I was right. This ring really is a treasure!" Without waiting for Hogg to speak, the voice of the old man on the back of the Velocidragon once more rang out.
"Hand over the ring, and I'll spare your lives!"
The old man's face was gloomy. His cold gaze swept past Linley, finally coming to rest upon Chu Bei.
"Idiot."
Chu Bei shook his head, a playful look on his face as he looked at the old man, as though he was looking at an idiot.
"You're looking for death!"
Hearing Chu Bei's words, and seeing the playful look in his eyes, the old man's face instantly turned green.
"Vairocana!"
With a shout filled with murderous intent, the old man began to chant an incantation, his hands moving in a rhythmic pattern.
In the next instant, the air around the old man's body began to emit layers of flames, which then coalesced in front of his palms, forming into an enormous fireball with a diameter of a hundred meters.
"No … no …"
Staring at the sun-like fireball, the townspeople, including Hogg, once more revealed looks of terror on their faces.
"This … this is the most powerful fire-style spell of the eighth rank!"
Hillman's entire body was covered with scorch marks. With great difficulty, he crawled out of the deep pit. But upon seeing the enormous fireball above his head, his heart instantly turned cold.
"Go to hell!"
Under the old man's control, the enormous fireball, carrying with it a terrifying amount of fire-style energy, descended.
Sensing the energy contained within the fireball, Hogg's face instantly turned extremely ugly. If this hundred-meter wide fireball was allowed to descend, the entire Wushan township would most likely be reduced to rubble in an instant.
"So this is a magus of the eighth rank? How terrifying." Staring at the increasingly large fireball, all the townspeople's faces turned pale.
"A magus of the eighth rank is nothing more than an ant, but you think you are invincible."
As his voice rang out, Chu Bei's body soared into the air, casually flying towards the enormous fireball. Then, he raised his palm and lightly struck it.
Boom!
Accompanied by a shocking explosion, Chu Bei's seemingly unremarkable palm suddenly burst forth with a berserk aura of energy. This energy formed a blade of light, and in an instant, the enormous scorching fireball was cut into nothingness.
