“mo fan, any other advanced mages would be scared if they stumbled into a commander-level creature in the wild; why must we step on the toes of a ruler-level creature every few days? are we f**king forbidden mages now!?” zhao manyan cursed while running as fast as he could.

the west kunlun wind alone was very strong, let alone the powerful gusts that were surging in their direction after the sun ridge’s fiery-winged ruler started flying at them. the winds immediately blew the stones and the dust on the roulette wheel summit into the air, together with the volcanic ash, lava droplets, and gravel. the group was left with no choice but to run for their lives!

the sun ridge ruler’s speed was absolutely shocking. it was several mountains and valleys away when the group noticed it, yet the creature was less than three kilometers away after they had only run a few steps. a ruler-level creature was able to kill an advanced mage instantly from a distance of a kilometer. they would have to split up and run in different directions once the creature was close enough to attack them!

mo fan had to admit that zhao manyan was right; he had been stirring up troubles with a lot of insanely strong creatures lately...

as a matter of fact, commander-level creatures and ruler-level creatures were extremely rare. one might accidentally enter the demon creatures’ territory, wander aimlessly for ten days, and still not stumble into a single commander-level creature. having that in mind, the only explanation as to why he had been stumbling into ruler-level creatures so often lately was because he had been looking for too much trouble. he kept putting himself in extremely dangerous situations!

“enough talk, that son of a b**ch is going to attack us from range when it’s around a kilometer away. you better ready your defense so we have a chance of getting out here alive!” mo fan shouted back.

speaking of a bad start! their lives were in danger before they had a chance to put the long-awaited plan into motion. not only did they go through so much trouble, but they also had to be chased around by a ruler-level creature, too!

“a ruler-level creature with wings is normally six times faster than the strongest advanced wind mage. our speed isn’t even half as fast as an advanced wind mage. it’s useless trying to run away!” lingling said, as if the danger was none of her concern.

“so are you telling us we shouldn’t be running!?” zhao manyan yelped.

it was indeed useless to try to run away in their situation. the fiery-winged ruler’s speed was like an enormous eagle. unfortunately, they were not rabbits, as rabbits still had a chance of running away from an eagle. they were like a bunch of clumsy piglets instead, visible and slow-moving targets running in a single direction!

most terrifyingly, there was no cover on the roulette wheel summit. it felt like the fiery-winged tyrant was making its way to a dining table to enjoy the delicacies that had presented themselves!

“old zhao, it’s only two kilometers away!” mo fan said after glancing back to roughly estimate the distance.

the fiery-winged tyrant was not as huge as mo fan had imagined when it was two kilometers away, but the size of its wings was unbelievable. it was obviously the kind of ruler-level creature with an incredible speed!

this kind of ruler-level creature was usually deadlier, since its prey did not even have a chance to run away!

“stop yelling, i’m preparing... f**k me!” zhao manyan immediately saw the creature beating its fiery wings to fire burning projectiles at them as soon as he turned around!

the projectiles were like meteorites, sealing the group’s escape path. several meteorites the size of a house slammed heavily onto the path ahead. everyone immediately ran in separate directions!

“don’t split up!” mui guangqing yelled when he saw two members running in the opposite direction to them.

“it’s a fast ruler-level creature. it’s going to take us out one by one if we split up. we might have a chance to hold on longer if we stick together,” lingling said.

the two members were not thinking clearly, but they still turned around and fled with the team.

“damn it, its attack range is more than a kilometer!” mo fan cursed.

“where’s old mo? where’s dongfang mo? wasn’t he supposed to keep an eye on the creature? what the hell is he up to!?” zhao manyan yelled.

“they must be making preparations on the other side. they didn’t expect the creature to come right at us. don’t give up yet, we must hold on until dongfang mo is here. it’s our only chance. look out, fire is coming out from the ground!” mui guangqing said, pointing ahead.

flames were emerging from the ground. even though the creature was still more than a kilometer away, it was already able to attack the group. flames sprouted along the ground like fire lilies. the group wove through the flames like wriggling snakes. luckily, everyone in the group was an elite advanced mage. the entire team would have been wiped out by now if it consisted of some ordinary mages!

“old zhao, it’s coming again!” mo fan yelled.

“i know, stop yelling!” zhao manyan said.

“we are going to die for sure; damn it, i should have left with fan dong!”

“don’t panic, we can still make it!”

“how? it’s a ruler-level creature!” dongfang linlin said.

the ruler was inflicting overwhelming fear on the team. everything they had learned until now was like a child’s play compared to the terrifying baptism of fire pouring down at them.

“it’s coming,” mui zhuocheng said hopelessly. he could already see the shadow of the ruler-level creature looming over them. he also felt a scorching heat that he had never experienced before coming at them. their defense was almost non-existent!

—

a long cry was heard. it sounded extremely close. the fiery-winged tyrant had turned into a soul-crushing burning drill diving at them at an angle. it was lunging right at the roulette wheel summit, and the group of mages that were desperately running for their lives.

zhao manyan turned around at the perfect time and spread his arms apart! “titan body!”

a brown light burst out from his body and formed silhouettes of a sturdy figure. each image was bigger than the one before!

the last silhouette was almost the size of a tyrant titan. its outline solidified as its brightness reached its limit. it looked like a titan spreading its arms apart, standing its ground firmly!

the fiery-winged tyrant slammed into the enormous silhouette. the titan dissipated like bubbles. meanwhile, zhao manyan was knocked flying by the enormous impact. he fell down in front of the group.

“well done!” mo fan exclaimed happily.

the titan body was shattered into pieces, but the fiery-winged tyrant’s head was spinning from the enormous impact. it was standing there stunned. the defense had managed to buy the team some time!

the team would have been forced to split up if they did not stop the fiery-winged tyrant’s attack. the fiery-winged tyrant would have plenty of time to feast on them!

“impressive, how impressive!” mui guangqing’s impression of zhao manyan shifted tremendously when he saw how zhao manyan had defended them from the ruler-level creature’s attack. if everything had gone according to plan, their chance of success would have been higher with a defensive mage like him on their side!

mui zhuocheng, dongfang linlin, qi shan, and the others were stunned, too. they stared at zhao manyan, who was fallen miserably on the ground, in disbelief. the guy was far more impressive than they had thought. unfortunately, it did not really make any difference, as the ruler-level creature would be coming after them again in no time!

as they had thought, the fiery-winged tyrant did not give them any chance of escaping after recovering from its dizziness. it used the fiery lilies to seal off their path of escape once again.

“this way, follow me!” mui guangqing took the lead. the buff from his wind element gave the team a glimpse of hope.

the wind trail boosting the team’s speed had changed direction. the path down the mountain was completely blocked off. they could only run toward the volcanic pond. it would mostly buy them some time. dongfang mo must be close by, but his speed was obviously no match for the ruler-level creature. it would take him some time to come from the other mountain!

their initial plan was to let dongfang mo be on standby close to the scorching rock peak. if they ended up making too much noise, dongfang mo would take the initiative to lure the ruler-level creature away. however, they had not expected the wind to blow the volcanic ashes away. the fiery-winged tyrant had ignored dongfang mo and gone right after them instead! dongfang mo did have magic wings. he was chasing the ruler-level creature, but his speed was completely outmatched by it!

“mo fan, i’m done for,” zhao manyan said, his face extremely pale.

“hang in there, old mo is going to be here soon,” mo fan comforted the injured zhao manyan.

“can we not be brothers in our next life?” zhao manyan said softly. he was scarred after being set up by mo fan numerous times.

“sure, i’ll be your father instead.”

“screw you!”

“do you really have the mood to joke about that under the current circumstances?” dongfang linlin grunted.

“it’s coming again!” mu bai warned.

“dongfang linlin, you must be a space mage too, right? stay here and be prepared to lend me a hand. i’ll go and stop that assh***. don’t you abandon me!” mo fan said to dongfang linlin.

“here?” dongfang linlin did not understand what mo fan was referring to, but before she could discuss the plan further, mo fan had stopped running. he turned around and faced the fiery-winged tyrant just like zhao manyan had!

the fiery-winged tyrant was gliding just above the ground of the roulette wheel summit. it was moving like a red flicker; it was so quick that there was barely any time for anyone to react.

“little flame belle!”

little flame belle tore the rift above mo fan apart after receiving the signal. she descended upon mo fan in the form of the flame belle empress. it looked like mo fan was being possessed by a fire spirit...

the flames of ardent sunset engulfed mo fan like fiery armor. they first erupted from his feet before covering his entire body. it looked like mo fan had just put on a suit of imperious armor!

mo fan did not have any defensive spells. he had decided to curb violence with violence instead!

he clenched his fists. the ardent sunset burned vigorously on his left fist, while the calamity fire spread rapidly from his right. he slammed his fists into one another in front of his chest. the two fire domains exploded as the fire magic accumulated rapidly, like water being drawn into the eye of a vortex!
