Nan Jue and her team stood momentarily stunned, almost frozen like statues. Mo Fan appeared to be about the same age as her, yet this young man was already a high-level mage? And not just that—he was a dual-element high-level mage!
In her understanding, not even Ai Jiangtu could match him. What shocked her even more was Mo Fan's magical armor, which seemed to provide complete immunity to poison. He didn't appear harmed at all!
As the fiery explosion faded, Mo Fan was surrounded by blue flames, his blood beast boots securely fastened to his feet, and he charged straight ahead.
Nan Jue, being a sound mage, could still sense that the beast wasn't dead. Seeing Mo Fan recklessly approach, she shouted, "Be careful, it's still alive!"
But Mo Fan paid no attention and moved in closer. The three-headed serpent, after being hit by two devastating high-level spells, didn't care about its wounds and lunged toward him.
As Mo Fan neared, it wasn't just the blue flames surrounding him—he was gathering a massive fireball in his hand!
"Heavenly Flame Funeral: Hell Fire!"
This was another high-level fire spell formed by a completed star pattern, but compared to the Heaven Flame Funeral from earlier, it condensed all its power into a single sphere!
However, controlling this kind of spell was more complex, so he hadn't used it immediately. It was the kind of skill that still needed more practice.
As the serpent's three heads snapped at him, Mo Fan dodged each attack, and then the enormous blue fireball formed in his hand!
The fireball hit the serpent's earth-element head directly. Out of all the heads, the earth-element one posed the biggest threat to Mo Fan, even more so than the poisonous or fire-element heads.
"Boom!"
The fireball enveloped the earth-element head, and as Mo Fan leaped into the air, fire wings appeared behind him, boosting the fireball's power even further!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
A terrifying blue wave of fire erupted, spreading in all directions, its scorching heat blasting everything in its path. Even from a distance, Nan Jue and her team were drenched in sweat. The temperature in the Scorching Plains was already high, and the added wave of fire made it unbearable.
When the blue firestorm finally dissipated, the earth-element head of the three-headed serpent hung lifelessly on the ground. Despite the serpent's resilience, this head had finally succumbed to Mo Fan's relentless assault and lost consciousness.
Due to the serpent's three-headed nature, it wasn't dead yet, and given enough time, the shattered head could potentially regain consciousness. But there was no way Mo Fan would give it that chance.
The three-headed serpent had been terrorizing the area, likely because it sensed the weakened presence of the Flame Witch, Jiang Feng. Since Mo Fan had benefited from the Flame Belle, he felt obligated to repay the favor.
As the fire-element head of the serpent unleashed a fiery wave towards Mo Fan, he responded by summoning a massive golden hammer in his hands.
"Boom!"
Mo Fan wasn't quick enough to dodge the incoming flames entirely, and the fire engulfed his body. In the midst of the inferno, he could feel the heat searing him, but it was still within his tolerance range. The Black Serpent Armor he wore, crafted from the legendary Totem Xuan Serpent, provided excellent defense. Though not as invincible as when it was part of the serpent itself, the armor still absorbed much of the impact.
Plus, Mo Fan's own abilities—his Green Lotus Core Flame, a trace of Green Lotus Core Flame, and his demon form—gave him significant resistance to fire. Despite the scorching flames, he pressed on.
Ignoring the burning pain, Mo Fan raised the glowing hammer high and brought it crashing down on the serpent's fire-element head.
"Bang!"
The hammer gleamed with a golden light, not just dazzling but packed with destructive force. The fire-element head, already weakened, suffered a massive blow and showed visible cracks. Mo Fan didn't stop. As the serpent reeled in shock, he swung the hammer again in a wide arc.
"Bang!"
The poison-element head also felt the impact, releasing a thick cloud of poison that engulfed Mo Fan. But even as the serpent unleashed its toxins, Mo Fan appeared unfazed. He kept hammering away with relentless strikes, hitting the serpent's heads one after another.
"Roooar!!!"
The furious strikes from Mo Fan caused the serpent to thrash wildly, knocking down the giant trees in the forest, one after another.
Seeing that its poison was ineffective, the poison head attempted to bite him directly.
"Space Rhythm: Compression!"
Unfortunately for the serpent, Mo Fan wasn't giving it a chance. Using his powerful level-three Space element strength, he caught the serpent off guard and sent it flying with a forceful mental shove.
With the serpent momentarily defenseless, Mo Fan swiftly followed up, using his Blood Beast Boots to leap onto its fire-element head, using it like a springboard!
Leaping high into the air, he swung the golden hammer down again!
"Boom!"
"Crash!"
The impact left a massive crater in the ground, and the fire-element head slumped, lifeless. With two of its heads down, only the poison head remained.
"Roooaaar!!!"
The serpent let out a desperate roar and tried to flee.
But with Mo Fan's winged magical equipment, there was no way it could escape. He flew after it, chasing the serpent as it barreled through the forest, knocking down fiery red trees, but he was faster.
Realizing that it couldn't outrun him, the serpent sprayed more poisonous fog in a final, desperate attempt. But it was useless. Mo Fan flew straight through it.
"Lonely Death Lightning: Thunder Arm!"
Gathering electricity into a deadly beam, Mo Fan fired it at the serpent's body, and the beam struck with pinpoint accuracy, paralyzing the massive creature.
Seizing the opportunity, Mo Fan unleashed another Flame attack directly onto the serpent's last head. With a final, devastating impact, the last head was destroyed, and the three-headed serpent collapsed to the ground.
As its final head was shattered, Mo Fan saw a brilliant commander-level spirit emerge from the serpent's body.
Seeing the glowing spirit, Mo Fan couldn't help but smile.
A commander-level spirit!
This was a huge gain!
Who would've thought that this three-headed serpent's existence would turn out to be such a blessing?
"Thank you… thank you…" After the battle, Nan Jue and her battered team approached, looking at Mo Fan with astonishment. They were in awe of what they had just witnessed.
This guy… he single-handedly took down a commander-level monster!
Even though commanders came in different levels of strength, no commander-level beast should have been this easily slain, right?
It wasn't that Nan Jue wasn't glad the serpent was dead—it was just… too much to process.
Hearing her, Mo Fan turned his head to glance at Nan Jue. She was a strikingly handsome female officer, with a style so sharp it was almost intimidating. From her perfectly styled hair down to her long, sleek, and strong legs clad in her military uniform, she was definitely a sight to behold.
Though the "androgynous beauty" wasn't really Mo Fan's type, those long legs… well, they were something else!
