Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 194: The Wrath of a Common Man (Bonus)

Rip—!

Hearing the sharp tearing sound, Luo Mian dared not be careless. Gritting his teeth, he activated his trump card.

In an instant, his figure faded not using any star-based spellcasting yet appeared to merge with the void like a phantom.

Lu Jun's form flickered in mid-air. Turning back, he caught this sight and frowned slightly. This was most likely the iconic Super Level ability Transcendental Force.

Mo Fan's future Shadow Element would also have a similar power, obviously one that couldn't be used often.

High-level Domains and Super Level's Transcendental Force were both signs of deeper mastery over magic. The latter, in particular, broke free from spell frameworks, requiring no control of Star Constellations. The body naturally contained magic energy, and Super Spells could be cast with a mere thought.

Binding one's soul and shadow didn't necessarily mean one could completely restrain a Super Mage.

In the next moment, Lu Jun blinked forward, seizing the moment Luo Mian's real body became visible. The Dark Antler crest above his head glowed, as immense dark lightning spread along both arms. With a punch, Death Ray Thunder Arm erupted.

Boom!

Luo Mian's chest collapsed, and he plummeted like a cannonball, smashing into the ground. Luckily, his armor magic tool activated just in time, or he'd be paralyzed by that single blow.

Super Mages weren't exactly trained body cultivators. Compared to demons, they were still quite fragile.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Lu Jun pursued relentlessly, closing in and punching again and again. Dark Thunder's thick beams swept through as rich blood energy formed a crimson armor over his body, making him appear like a descending war god. In one breath, he bulldozed from one side of the mountain to the other.

Using Luo Mian's body, he forcefully carved out a massive trench. Stones flew in all directions, and smoke billowed like clouds.

Luo Mian was beaten dizzy, his entire body aching, bones shattered, organs displaced. Thankfully, the Soul Sword that pierced his chest and soul finally shattered under his strenuous efforts.

Buzz buzz buzz—his eyes turned eerie, overflowing with dark and cursed energy. Coupled with a single-hand Super Level Light spell, he growled in a twisted voice, "Lu Jun, I'll kill you!"

But just then, from a distance, Zhu Meng had already reacted. After casting a surprised glance at Lu Jun's current state, he immediately began manipulating Star Constellation. One after another, resplendent golden star palaces emerged.

Eventually, they linked together, forming something akin to a Heavenly Cloud Palace—composed entirely of violet thunder, gleaming with lightning, wisps surging, and dark clouds converging.

It stood tall and majestic above this entire region, shining brilliantly amid the endless black thunderclouds, gazing over the mountain ranges!

"Divine Thunder Punishment:Nine Commandment Imprisonment!"

Zhu Meng shouted solemnly and sternly. Taking advantage of the few seconds during which Lu Jun was violently thrashing Luo Mian, he successfully cast the Super Level 1 Spell.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The heavens raged with thunder as the Palace of Violet Firmament erected nine thunder pikes that pierced from the sky straight down to the earth, one after another impaling Luo Mian's surrounding dark domain. With each descent of a pike, his body would tremble slightly.

Soon after, all nine thunder pikes were embedded into the ground, resonating with each other. A massive thunder imprisonment array rose into the sky. The boundless thunder light spread across the entire field of vision, and the wilderness became a sea of lightning.

The continuous roars of thunder shook the heavens and the earth. The terrifying thunder light shattered towering ancient trees and giant boulders alike, turning them into dust and scattering them into ashes.

The dark curse domain screen that Luo Mian desperately upheld was torn to shreds by the thunder pikes. Even his Light Element protection could not withstand the sea of lightning. Bathed in thunder and lightning, his screams echoed endlessly.

Initially, it was the Totem Black Serpent that was lured into the West Lake's Lightning Element Nine Commandment Imprisonment by the enemy, suffering devastating blows from the nine thunder pikes and enduring long torment by electric currents bled dry, nearly perishing.

But now, it was Luo Mian's turn to suffer. Although Zhu Meng didn't use a formation to assist the spell, he was a Level 2 Super Mage. With his Lightning Element Transcendental Force, the effect wasn't much weaker.

And Luo Mian was no Black Serpent. He was merely a human Super Mage. Under the power of Divine Thunder Punishment, he was gradually reduced to a dead dog, kneeling in the very center, scorched pitch black.

It was a complete reversal of fortune, making one sigh at the irony of fate.

Lu Jun flapped his wings, blinking through space. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Luo Mian. Seeing the wretched state of the man, his expression was devoid of pity, only filled with cold indifference.

He raised his arm, aimed at Luo Mian, clenched his palm tightly, and said, "It's all over."

Woooooo—!

Suddenly, the nether beneath Luo Mian cracked open. It was deep and bottomless, pitch black and silent. One after another, ferocious Vengeful-Eyed Ghostfiends surged out, exuding cursed and ominous auras.

These slightly translucent ghost gods crawled across the old man with the goat beard, clinging to every part of his body. Ghost hands reached forth as if grabbing onto Luo Mian's soul, dragging him bit by bit toward the Dark Plane.

"No! I don't want to die!"

Luo Mian was filled with terror, weeping bitterly before death, devoid of any composure expected of a Super Mage.

Buzz—!

Lu Jun placed his fingertip on Luo Mian's forehead. A streak of dark-gold sword light flashed by. As Luo Mian's pupils shrank, a Black-Gold Dragon-Marked Sword pierced through his forehead, boring a bloody hole in his glabella. Red and white brain matter splattered outward.

The old man with the goat beard collapsed limply to the ground, completely lifeless body destroyed, soul perished.

His soul, seized by countless ghost hands, was ripped apart mid-air and devoured by the ghost gods. Many Vengeful-Eyed Ghostfiends returned to the Dark Plane, satisfied.

Thus, the Totem Black Serpent incident in Hangzhou came to a close. The main culprit had been executed; the rest were mere loose ends to be cleaned up.

Seeing this, Lu Jun felt a bit regretful. If that Super Mage's soul had been collected and refined into a Wraith Slave, how useful it would've been. But with Zhu Meng watching from the side, it was not the time to act.

Destroying a soul was acceptable, but enslaving it to refine into a cursed ghost creature was undoubtedly forbidden sorcery rejected by the mainstream.

Even now, Zhu Meng frowned tightly at what he had just witnessed.

Moreover, the high-tier Curse Element spell Demon Punishment had its limits in containing ghosts roughly at High-tier or Commander-level. Super-level went beyond its boundary. After all, it was merely a High-tier spell.

Considering the depth of Luo Mian's hatred, one misstep could result in backlash against the master far too dangerous.

Perhaps when Lu Jun advanced to Super Level in Curse Element, he could try refining one.

Overall, he had fought to his heart's content this time, venting the frustration from earlier in one breath beating Luo Mian to death alive.

In addition, Lu Jun's Ascension State was just a small demonstration of his strength. His Water Element High-tier spells hadn't even been combined or used yet he still had more in the tank. His combat power barely reached that of a Sub-Monarch.
