Chapter 380: It’s Them Again!?

Cao Tian’s body was swelling more and more, his muscles taking on a lifeless grayish-white hue, as hard as rock.

At the same time, his face underwent a tremendous transformation, changing from an ordinary human visage to a bizarre appearance with deep-set eye sockets and a sharply protruding chin.

From a distance, Cao Tian resembled a large gray gorilla; no one would mistake him for a human.

“Roar…”

Cao Tian howled at the sky and charged once more toward the position of Ji Feng.

Ji Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, extended his hands to form a spell seal, and then brought his hands together.

“Bang!”

Just as Cao Tian was about to reach Ji Feng, the rock beneath his feet suddenly exploded.

Cao Tian’s swollen body was sent flying to the side.

Ji Feng’s expression grew serious as he clenched his left fist.

On his left middle finger, he wore a ring set with tiny sapphires.

The sapphires emitted a series of bright flashes.

Then, Ji Feng reached out and pulled in the air, and a staff appeared in his hand.

The staff was about a meter long, topped with a star emblem, also set with a gem that glowed blue.

This was Ji Feng’s exclusive staff.

Cao Tian got up from the ground, his mouth widening even further, his eyes bloodthirsty, and charged at Ji Feng again.

“Element of Fire, activate!”

Ji Feng took a step back, gripping the staff in his right hand and extending it forward.

The sapphire at the top of the staff shone with dazzling light.

Then, a ball of crimson flame appeared in front of the staff and shot toward Cao Tian.

The fire dragon soared through the air, crashing directly into Cao Tian.

Cao Tian extended his two incredibly strong arms, crossing them in front of him, and withstood the fire dragon, pushing against it as he continued to walk toward Ji Feng!

Ji Feng’s heart sank.

The flames generated by his spell were extremely high in temperature, capable of melting steel!

Yet Cao Tian was able to withstand it with his body!

This indicated that Cao Tian’s physical strength had reached a terrifying level!

“Keep going! I’m in the mood to play with you,” Cao Tian said, a wild smile on his face, as he suddenly opened his crossed arms.

“Bang!”

The fire dragon dissipated!

Cao Tian took a large step forward, arriving in front of Ji Feng, and threw another punch.

Ji Feng’s expression changed slightly as he extended the staff forward.

A pentagram spell seal immediately appeared in front of the staff, blocking Cao Tian’s punch.

“Bang!”

The spell seal shattered again.

“A mage? I want to see how many punches you can block!” Cao Tian grinned bloodthirstily, raising both fists and launching a fierce assault on Ji Feng!

Ji Feng’s face turned grim.

As a mage, the worst thing was to engage in close combat with an opponent.

Moreover, Cao Tian’s physical strength had reached a horrifying level.

If Ji Feng took a single punch, he would likely lose his combat ability.

“I am a four-star mage, Ji Feng, currently on a mission at Huai Bei Nan Du University. The target, Cao Tian, exceeds expectations and requires urgent support!” Ji Feng silently recited the incantation, using mental magic to send this message back to headquarters.

After transmitting the message, Ji Feng gripped the staff and used all his knowledge to form one defensive spell seal after another at the fastest speed to withstand Cao Tian’s attacks.

But Cao Tian’s assaults grew increasingly fierce, with each strike containing escalating power.

Ji Feng’s internal energy was limited.

In such a passive situation, he would soon be unable to hold on.

“Boom!”

Cao Tian roared again and threw another punch.

The spell seal instantly shattered! But it did not completely block the force of the punch!

“Poof!”

Ji Feng was struck hard in the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling backward.

Cao Tian walked step by step toward Ji Feng, mockingly saying, “Keep going? Why have you stopped? Great Mage.”

Ji Feng struggled to lift his head, his mouth full of blood, looking pale as he stared at Cao Tian.

Cao Tian took two steps closer to Ji Feng, looking down at him and saying, “So-called order enforcers are this weak… and you think you can capture me? Ha ha…”

Cao Tian laughed loudly, but his laughter quickly stopped.

He sensed a presence rapidly approaching.

“Break the stone, Wang wants you to focus on the task! Don’t complicate things!”

At the same time, a voice entered Cao Tian’s ears.

Cao Tian’s heart jolted as he realized he had wasted a lot of time on Ji Feng.

The core of the earth’s fire had already been located; the primary task now was to take the Immortal King’s heart and burn it!

Cao Tian calmed down, kicked Ji Feng away, and then turned to run toward Qinchou Lake, leaping into the lake and diving rapidly toward the bottom.

Two seconds later, a figure fell from the sky.

It was Fang Yu.

The small path by the lake was now in ruins.

There were craters everywhere, along with numerous bloodstains.

Fang Yu turned his head and saw Ji Feng lying on the ground, coughing up blood.

“The order enforcer’s target is indeed someone else,” Fang Yu thought.

Where did the target go?

Fang Yu turned to look at the lake’s surface.

At this moment, the lake was very calm.

But Fang Yu knew that the other party had already submerged into the lake.

“What is in this lake? Why did he jump in?” Fang Yu frowned, pondering.

After a moment, Fang Yu turned and walked toward the injured Ji Feng.

At this point, Ji Feng was gravely injured and on the verge of death.

His sternum was shattered, and his right shoulder had been completely broken by Cao Tian’s earlier kick.

Seeing Fang Yu approach, Ji Feng’s eyes shifted slightly.

“That person jumped into the lake; what did he want?” Fang Yu asked.

Ji Feng remained cautious and did not answer Fang Yu’s question.

At that moment, footsteps sounded behind Fang Yu.

Ye Shengxue arrived, and upon seeing the situation on the ground and the injured Ji Feng, her expression changed.

“Counselor Ji?” Ye Shengxue hurried forward.

“You know him?” Fang Yu asked.

“He is a teacher in our College of Literature; of course, I know him,” Ye Shengxue replied, squatting down to ask, “Counselor Ji, how are you? I’ll have someone come right away…”

“Don’t… this matter must not be publicized,” Ji Feng said with difficulty, “My companions will arrive soon; you should leave quickly.”

Ye Shengxue was confused and did not understand Ji Feng’s meaning.

She had always thought Ji Feng was just an ordinary lecturer, a mortal.

But it seemed that was not the case?

“He is a mage, part of the order enforcers organization,” Fang Yu said.

“Order enforcers…” Ye Shengxue’s eyes flickered; she had heard this name before.

“He has been lurking at Nan Du University, likely for a specific target, and that target is now in the lake, right?” Fang Yu smiled at Ji Feng.

Ji Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

He did not expect Fang Yu to know his identity and even state his mission.

Who exactly is this kid?

“What should we do now?” After learning Ji Feng’s identity, Ye Shengxue felt a bit lost.

“Why did that person jump into the lake? What is in the lake?” Fang Yu asked again.

Ji Feng hesitated for a moment and replied, “I’m not sure… but he stood by the lake earlier and muttered something to himself…”

Ji Feng recounted what Cao Tian had said.

“Wang granted me this treasure…”

“Wang?”

Recently, the only people who frequently mentioned the word “Wang” seemed to be the demon Yan and that group underground whom he encountered last night.

Is it that group again?

What is in this lake?

From an intuitive perspective, Fang Yu did not sense any unusual presence by the lake.

“By the way, when I saw Cao Tian, he was holding an object… it looked somewhat like a heart… but it was very large and grayish-white in color…” Ji Feng said.

“A heart?” Fang Yu frowned.

Holding a heart and jumping into the lake… what does he want? What can he do?

“Forget it, we’ll find out by going down,” Fang Yu said, no longer pondering, taking two steps forward and leaping into the lake.

“Don’t go down! That Cao Tian… cough!” Ji Feng tried to stop Fang Yu from jumping into the lake, shouting excitedly, but he coughed up a mouthful of blood before finishing his sentence.

“Counselor Ji, your injuries are too severe…” Ye Shengxue said.

“He can’t jump down! That person in the lake is a monster! If he encounters him, he will definitely be killed!” Ji Feng said to Ye Shengxue.

Even he, a four-star great mage, was no match for Cao Tian.

Fang Yu jumping in was like seeking death!

Ye Shengxue looked at the lake’s surface, remaining silent.

Fang Yu had already jumped in; she couldn’t stop him even if she wanted to.

Moreover, she didn’t want to stop Fang Yu.

She could take this opportunity to witness Fang Yu’s abilities firsthand.

The family teachings left by the Ye family mentioned that those who inherit the power of the divine dragon possess extraordinary abilities, capable of traversing heaven and earth, astonishing all.
