Dense lightning scattered across the place. Strong currents flowed back and forth around Casso and struck him continuously.

However, Casso did not bother dodging the lightning. The sand particles lingering in the air swiftly gathered around him and turned into a sand shield in the shape of an egg, warding him from the lightning.

The lightning soon lost its effects, unable to penetrate the sand shield.

Inside the shield, Casso stomped the ground heavily. The effects of the spell Petrify started spreading rapidly once again.

Mo Fan immediately activated the Blood Tabi when he found himself in a disadvantageous position.

The Petrify effects spread quickly and immediately turned everything within a hundred meters into hard, stiff rock. It was right behind Mo Fan’s ankle. If he was just a bit slower, his leg would have turned into stone.

“Where are you running to now!” Casso’s eyes glittered with a brown light.

The ray of light flew at Mo Fan. He immediately summoned the Departing Nether Shield as he realized that something did not feel right.

As soon as the metallic Departing Nether Shield appeared, it was instantly turned into stone after coming into contact with the light ray. It fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Mo Fan was shocked by how outstanding Casso’s Earth Element was. He was able to use the power of Petrify freely!

“Petrify!”

Casso fired the brown ray from his eyes once again. Mo Fan quickly rolled to the side to dodge it. The wooden barrier behind him immediately turned into a brittle stony substance, and would break with the softest touch.

“If this is all you have, your death is near!” Casso’s face twisted suddenly

His skin was transforming! Mo Fan could see a blue, blood-colored mist circling Casso’s body. The outline of his body gradually turned faint as the mist thickened.

“Poison Element?” Mo Fan could sense a dangerous aura lunging at him when he looked at Casso.

Casso waved his arms. The huge coat he was wearing suddenly tore into pieces. The blue, blood-colored poison became a strong wind blowing in all directions.

“I already said that none of you are going to leave this place alive!” Casso’s face started twitching. It felt like his muscles were about to burst out of his skin.

His face was undergoing a weird transformation. His muscles were now green and kept growing. Not long after, his upper body was covered in thick, sturdy muscles. His skin was green like a toad, with lumps all over his body!

His other body parts were transforming too. The sight of it reminded Mo Fan of Fang Shaoli when her body was occupied by the Sudden-Death Poison Queen!

“He’s applying the Advanced Poison Spell to his own body!” Jiang Shaoxu gasped when she saw the transformation.

Using his own body as the host for the Poison Element and turning himself into a monster using the blood of demon creatures. This Casso’s application of the Poison Element was rather shocking, too!

“Hehehe, did I surprise you? With such a perfect transformation, killing you is like stepping on a few cockroaches!” Casso chuckled with a spooky grin on his face.

“Meteorite Fist!” Mo Fan’s fist erupted in flames. The fiery dragons from his fist pounced at the transformed Casso.

Casso stood there with the same grin on his face.

The fiery dragons rammed into Casso, but the sturdy skin and strong muscles from the transformation were like a blue-red meat armor. Mo Fan’s Meteorite Fist only left a tiny scorched mark on him!

It totally caught Mo Fan by surprise. As he was immersed in astonishment, Casso’s eerie face suddenly drew closer!

-How quick! -, were the only words Mo Fan could think of.

Casso was at least a hundred meters away a moment ago, but he was already right in front of Mo Fan in just the blink of an eye. Blades poked out of his mutated hands and extended further. Casso swung his arms at Mo Fan, trying to cut his head off!

Mo Fan quickly backed away. However, as soon as he hopped back, a stone pillar emerged from the ground!

The pillar struck Mo Fan’s back hard and tossed him into the air.

While a sudden dizziness struck Mo Fan and blurred his vision, he caught a glimpse of Casso’s unsightly face. The guy continued to chase after him, aiming the blades on his arm at Mo Fan’s chest!

“Black Snake Armor!”

Mo Fan activated the mark. The runes of the Black Snake Armor swiftly appeared on his chest in a spiraling motion to protect the spot where the attack was about to land on. The runes then spread to the rest of Mo Fan’s body parts and covered him thoroughly.

“Humph!” Casso altered his approach when he saw Mo Fan was protected by the armor. He clenched his hands into fists and slammed them into Mo Fan’s chest like he was using a sledgehammer!

Mo Fan fell from the sky and collided with the stone pillar, smashing it into pieces.

Dust lingered in the air. Mo Fan felt his bones and his head aching badly. The cunning leader of the bandits had obviously gone through lots of battles. He immediately changed his stabbing attack into a smash as soon as he saw Mo Fan was protected by the armor. The attack was still able to inflict serious damage on a Magician wearing armor!

“This guy is very strong!” Mo Fan rose to his feet and wiped the blood off his lips.

Even though he was also an Advanced Magician, the strength he displayed was nothing Oni compared to what Oni was showing. After a few rounds, not only did Mo Fan fail to deal any damage to him, he had suffered quite a number of injuries himself!

On the other side of a harbor, a long-haired woman in a black, golden outfit was standing on top of a flagpole like a night elf in the darkness. Her slender figure had a special, mysterious presence!

The woman’s eyes were fixed on the battle on the harbor. She sighed, “He’s forcing himself too much, trying to take on the strongest Poison Magician of the Caribbean on his own.”

“It looks like we’ll have to intervene. Otherwise, that young man is going to be in danger. Even five of him aren’t enough to defeat Casso,” a man’s voice answered from her com.

“Mmm, I know... but Casso is going to escape again,” spoke up a woman with curly hair in black clothes.

“We can’t help it; we were hoping that the three national teams could keep the Red Ornaments Guild busy for us, but it looks like most of them were getting tangled with the government army. We have to hurry, we can’t let Casso kill them all.”

“Alright, I’ll go... mmm?” the woman in the black-gold outfit was about to glide down when she suddenly saw the young man fighting Casso alone engulfed in strong flames. Even she subconsciously gasped when she felt the powerful aura from this far away.

She looked at the flames, and the young man engulfed in scorching fire in bewilderment. “Hang on, it looks like he can still fight!” the woman exclaimed.

The woman was from the Sacred Hall of Liberty, a Sacred Hall Magician.

She and her crew did not dare to engage recklessly, as Casso was incredibly cunning. As soon as he sensed their presence, he would release poison and flee for his life.

They were determined to uproot the Red Ornaments Guild once and for all. If the national teams could pressure Casso further, they would have a better chance of arresting Casso.

The young man from China had already managed to force Casso to use his Poison Armor.

“This young man is quite impressive, let’s wait a little longer,” the male Sacred Hall Magician advised.

The woman in the black-golden outfit had a pair of light blue, amber-like eyes. They were attractive and brilliant, and were fixed on the young man...

“You’re not the only one that can transform! Meteorite Fist!”

Burning wings appeared on Mo Fan’s back, turning him into a missile engulfed in flames. Nine fiery dragons followed after him as he landed a punch on Casso’s mutated flesh.

Casso’s eyes widened. He was knocked flying a few hundred meters by the incredible impact. He finally came to a stop after slamming into a few containers the size of trucks!

“Telekinesis!” Mo Fan’s eyes emitted a silver glow. The silver light surrounded the heavy containers and slowly lifted them into the air.

The containers were extremely heavy. They all crashed down onto Casso under Mo Fan’s control!

A loud screech was heard as the containers fell on top of one another. The thick concrete below was smashed into pieces. It was impossible to tell if Casso was alive or dead...

—

In the distance, the female Sacred Hall Magician in black-golden outfit opened her sexy lips in shock.

With Casso’s strength, he could easily crush anyone on the national teams. Not many people could last for so long while fighting a monster like him. However, to the woman’s surprise, the Chinese student was incredibly strong too, and able to knock Casso flying. The heavy containers had most likely inflicted significant damage on Casso, too...

—

BANG!

Casso was not dead. He was incredibly powerful after the transformation. He smashed the containers on top of him into the ocean with a single heave.

He rose to his feet. On his body was a deep fistprint, surrounded by burn marks.

The guy’s defense was unbelievable. Mo Fan’s attack was able to leave a hole in a Commander-level’s body, but this Casso seemed to be in perfect condition still!

“Boss, are you alright?” the fatty with a huge belly asked.

Even Casso’s men had rarely seen their boss knocked around. They could not help but worry.

“Shut your mouth!” Casso snapped hoarsely. His eyes had almost popped out of their sockets from how furious he was.

He still hadn’t killed the arrogant kid after all this time!

Casso straightened when he discovered two rings of flames burning on Mo Fan’s body.

Casso had no idea where the flames engulfing Mo Fan came from. However, he could smell a powerful flame, and it seemed to have originated from somewhere else, rather than the Magician’s own Element!
