"Didn't you want to kill me? Come out, come out now!" Shi Qianshou stood outside and yelled like a wild beast.
Mofan did not go out recklessly.
"Aren't you trying to be a hero? I'm telling you, if you don't kill me today, I'll turn an entire town and city into a sacrifice for the Earth Pistil. Hero, come out and kill me! Aren't you a saint? Aren't you using your life and the lives of so many people to exchange for the Earth Pistil? Isn't that what you should be doing?" Shi Qianshou yelled at Mofan while laughing wildly.
"You must have misunderstood. I've never thought of myself as a hero or a saint. I just can't stand scum like you," Mofan stood at the edge of the Sonic Barrier.
He was not going to go out.
He was going to die if he went out. As for Shi Qianshou threatening him with the lives of others, Mofan did not think it was necessary for him to go out now.
If he went out now, he would surely die within a minute. Shi Qianshou's Earth Element was obviously at the Super Level. Instead of sacrificing himself for a minute, it was better for him to stay alive and find Han Ji and Zhu Meng to eliminate Shi Qianshou before he made his move. He could even ask Pang Lai to come too. With his cultivation, he could easily eliminate Shi Qianshou in less than a minute!
Shi Qianshou was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw Mofan standing at the edge of the Sonic Barrier without showing any intention of fighting him.
If Mofan did not come out, wouldn't he have suffered all the beatings in the Sandstorm Demon Locusts for nothing?
Besides, if he killed the poisonous insects, his Poison Element would be destroyed too!
"You and I are the same kind of people, selfish scum!" Shi Qianshou pointed at Mofan angrily.
"There's a difference between us. I'm selfish. I don't harm people. I do save people occasionally, and I'll step on some moralists. Don't worry, I won't go out even if you yell until your throat breaks. I'm a god inside the Sandstorm Demon Locusts. If you want to kill me, come in and fight me for three hundred rounds. I'll give you a handicap of five Elements, "Mofan said.
Shi Qianshou gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush in and kill Mofan.
How could there be such a shameless young man? Had his righteous heart been eaten by a dog? If he was a courageous sorcerer, he should have charged out and fought with his life. At least, Shi Qianshou believed that if it were Zhang Xiaohou, he would have charged out.
Shi Qianshou stared at Mofan. Suddenly, Shi Qianshou thought of something and laughed.
"Hahahaha, you don't dare to let me go? If you let me go, those people trapped in the underground shelter will die for sure. The Barrier Core, you want to use the Barrier Core to save the people in the town? Hahahaha, hahaha, I've changed my mind. If you come out, I can return the energy of the Barrier Core. Today, I will take your life!" Shi Qianshou laughed as if he had finally caught Mofan's weakness.
Mofan looked at Shi Qianshou.
After a long time, Mofan asked Shi Qianshou, "Are you a pig?"
"What did you say?" Shi Qianshou's smile froze.
"Advisor Shao, I'll leave the rest to you. I feel disgusted talking to this piece of shit," Mofan said loudly.
Shi Qianshou was startled. He quickly looked around him.
Twelve lightning halberds fell from the sky, stabbing into Shi Qianshou's body in twelve different directions.
Amidst the thunderbolts, Advisor Shao, who was dressed in a military uniform, landed next to Shi Qianshou in a domineering manner. The 12 Lightning Halberds instantly activated a powerful confining force, completely imprisoning this area.
Shi Qianshou's arrogant expression collapsed when he saw the lightning halberds.
It was a Super Lightning Spell, and it was the second-tier Twelve Lightning Punishment Spell. Powerful lightning arcs danced around Shi Qianshou. He could feel himself trembling in fear.
Shi Qianshou turned around and saw a woman standing with her hands behind her back. It was none other than Advisor Shao, who was controlling the Lightning Punishment Spell. The pride on Shi Qianshou's face immediately vanished, as if he had just seen someone scarier than himself.
"Captain …" Shi Qianshou's legs were trembling. He did not even dare to look at Advisor Shao's face.
"The thing I regret the most is being merciful to people like you!" Advisor Shao turned around and looked down at Shi Qianshou coldly.
"I … I'm doing this for the sake of the fortress. Those Councilmen have no idea how difficult it is for us. They have no idea how dangerous this place is. We've been loyally risking our lives to expand our territory and reclaim some of the land and dignity that humans have lost from the demon creatures, yet they're sending us to a more remote place and sending us to our deaths. My men and I don't want to die!" Shi Qianshou said in a trembling voice.
Mofan walked out of the range of the Sandstorm Demon Locusts and saw Shi Qianshou kneeling in front of Advisor Shao after being trapped in the Lightning Punishment Spell.
Even someone as vicious as Shi Qianshou was so scared of someone that he could not even speak properly. It seemed like Advisor Shao was indeed an impressive person!
"Hand it over if you still consider yourself a soldier," Shi Qianshou said coldly as he stood in front of Jiang Yuning.
"Sir, listen to me, it's only a matter of time before we are treated as cannon fodder by the Councilmen and die miserably in the belly of some demon tribe or kingdom. We built and managed everything here. Why doesn't this place belong to us?" Shi Qianshou continued.
"Why?" Advisor Shao chuckled coldly. "We are humans, not greedy and cold-blooded demon creatures, nor are we murderous demons. The demon creatures outnumber us by a hundred to a thousand times. The most vicious and ambitious creatures live in our territory, yet we have not been wiped out, nor have we become their food. Why is that? "
"It's our destiny to die in the demon creatures' stomachs. If you didn't realize this before you put on the uniform, no one would force you to come out and die. No one would call you a coward, either. You could have lived a peaceful life. Even if the demon creatures came, they would have to step over the corpses of us, who are wearing the uniform. However, if you chose the former, and what you're doing is worse than the demon creatures, I swear I will destroy your flesh and soul. You will die in a crueler way than what you're afraid of!"
Staff Officer Shao's voice was like a clap of thunder. Not only did it crush the feeble reason of 'every man for himself' that Shi Qianshou had hidden in his heart, it also echoed in the ears of the other soldiers.
Shi Qianshou wanted to demonize all the soldiers. He even wanted to tell the world that the road he had paved was the only way to survive in the west. However, could the cities built on the accumulation of death and hatred really resist the attacks of the demon creatures?
Mo Fan had seen the Sandstorm Demon Locusts flying toward the flames on the Burning Mountain. They were not digging their own graves, but searching for a way to survive for their species. They were sacrificing themselves to select those who were resistant to the flames, so they could reproduce and break free from the fate of being wiped out by the flames.
Even demon creatures like the Sandstorm Demon Locusts knew how to sacrifice themselves for their species, yet some people were still selfishly harming their own kind when their lives were in danger. They were willing to sacrifice hundreds or even thousands of people just to live a comfortable life.
Luckily, such people were only a minority. Mo Fan believed more people would be like Advisor Shao, who would not give up on anyone. They were not afraid of the evil of the demon creatures, nor were they greedy for their own lives. It was the way to survive for a human city, a country, and a species. As a soldier, they might have to fly into the flames of their own destruction one day, but in exchange, they would be reborn fearless of their natural enemies and the flames. They would be stronger, and their enemies would tremble in fear when they heard their name.
"Mo Fan, I'll leave it to you," Advisor Shao handed the Earth Pistil to Mo Fan.
The Earth Pistil contained a lot of energy. Not only was it enough to support the Fire Barrier of Anjiao Town, it was also enough to protect the Tarim Basin Fortress.
However, Advisor Shao did not have the slightest smile on her face.
Everything they had built over the past decade had to be abandoned. The people here had to move to a 'safer' place. Looking at the densely packed Sandstorm Demon Locusts, they had to admit that the Sandstorm Demon Locusts had won the battle. They had obtained the right to rule over the land, driving the humans out.
"Sister …" Li Man went up to Advisor Shao and tried to comfort her.
Li Man had witnessed everything that Advisor Shao had done. Her efforts over the past decade had all gone down the drain.
"I'm fine, as long as the people of Anjiao Town are fine. I have to thank your two friends," Advisor Shao did not shed a single tear. She only stared at Anjiao Town.
Mo Fan had been on his way to Anjiao Town with the Earth Pistil for some time when a fiery ripple suddenly appeared at the center of Anjiao Town. The ripple spread across the town in an arc. The spectacular flames of the Ardent Sunset set the town ablaze like a rosy cloud, driving away the darkness and darkness of the Sandstorm Demon Locusts.
The light of the flames landed on the faces of the soldiers who were fighting at the frontline, including Advisor Shao's pale face. It was so warm that her uneasy heart calmed down.
It was great that everyone was still alive. Even if this decade was over, there was still another decade to come.
"I almost forgot to ask, what trick did you use to lure Shi Qianshou out?" Advisor Shao asked Liu Zhuo when she recalled something.
"A trick, I think that young man was the one who lured Shi Qianshou out," Liu Zhuo said.
"Mofan was the one who lured him out? Isn't Shi Qianshou a Super Poison Mage?" Li Man asked in disbelief.
Advisor Shao was astounded, too.
They did not lure Shi Qianshou out with a trick!
Mofan had defeated Shi Qianshou!
Advisor Shao turned around and looked at Shi Qianshou, who was kneeling on the ground in defeat.
Shi Qianshou did not dare to look into Advisor Shao's eyes. Perhaps the thing that made Shi Qianshou lose his mind the most was not Advisor Shao's authority, but the fact that he, a general, had lost to an Advanced Mage!
Even Advisor Shao could not do anything to Shi Qianshou when he was hiding among the Sandstorm Demon Locusts!
"So he's Mofan, the strongest member of the national team? No wonder the chief has such high hopes for him." Advisor Shao came to a realization. The name Mofan was too common. She did not associate the name with Mofan when she first heard it.
"Chief? Which chief?" Li Man was startled.
