Chapter 116 Advanced
Before Lu Zhenghe could take any action, he saw layers of white ice crystals appearing on his body. They had terrifying penetrating power and quickly froze his skin.

"You really have a problem!"

Mu Ningxue's words echoed in his ears. Her voice was still clear and pleasant, but it was cold, just like the ice crystals she controlled.

"Captain, what is going on?"

The students of the Imperial Capital Academy looked back and forth between Lu Nian and Lu Zhenghe, and finally looked at Mu Ningxue in confusion for an answer.

"Lu Zhenghe is a traitor. He was the one who exposed our whereabouts to the cult members on the other side." Mu Ningxue said in a cold voice.

"The group of people over there are coming for us!"

The night before yesterday, after Xu Mu failed to reach an agreement with her about the affairs of the Mu family, he also mentioned to her that Lu Zhenghe often sneaked out at night and behaved strangely. She had been wary of Lu Zhenghe in the past two days.

"We are not cultists!" a female officer on the opposite side retorted firmly.

“Bullshit, they want to kill each other as soon as they meet. Who else but a cult like the Black Church can do such a thing!” Zhao Manyan angrily scolded.

"Everything we do is for all humanity," the female officer continued to retort.

“You can say that killing someone the first time you meet them is for the sake of all mankind? Then the Black Church’s contribution to all mankind is higher than that of the Holy City!” Mo Fan shouted angrily.

"Xuexue, give me Lu Zhenghe."

Mo Fan placed Lu Zhenghe in front of him, one hand ignited a brilliant rose-colored flame, tightly grasped his throat, and faced Lu Nian and the others.

"Take your lackey and leave here immediately, or I will kill your brother!"

After Mo Fan finished speaking, he condensed the power of the fourth-level thunder seal in his other hand and pierced through Lu Zhenghe's legs without hesitation. Blood immediately gushed out from the wound.

"Ah...ah!"

“Big…Big Brother…save me!”

Lu Zhenghe roared in pain, his eyes filled with tears, and looked at his brother Lu Nian pleadingly.

Lu Nian's brows furrowed instantly. Although he was not worried about Xu Mu's existence, he was very concerned about the safety of his younger brother Lu Zhenghe, because Lu Zhenghe was his only relative.

In his opinion, these people were just a group of students who had never experienced real fighting and war. Facing the offensive of mages like them, they would just stand there at a loss, with a blank mind, waiting for death to come.

Who could have thought that the guy named Xu Mu had already noticed their abnormality when they first arrived, and he came up with a thunderbolt move that was comparable to that of a high-level one.

Lu Zhenghe is such an idiot. If he had just run over here, nothing would have happened.

"Oh, that's quite interesting."

Lu Nian took a puff of his pipe expressionlessly, then waved his hand casually, signaling the group of magic bombers behind him to pause their attack.

"You are trash. Listen carefully. I am Liao Mingxuan, the son of Liao Feng from the Imperial Capital Magic Association. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I will make your whole family pay with their lives!" Liao Mingxuan roared at the top of his lungs.

"My father is from the Inquisition..."

"My mother is a Northern Army Mage..."

There are many noble children like Liao Mingxuan in the team, and they all try to use their family background to suppress Lu Nian.

But the result...

"He has a good background, but unfortunately, he has no brains."

Lu Nian laughed, and a brown light flashed in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the originally arrogant Liao Mingxuan and others seemed to have frozen in time, with a layer of grayish-white stone covering their bodies, and they were killed by the petrification technique.

"Tell me what you want."

After dealing with Liao Mingxuan and the other fools who only knew how to threaten others, Lu Nian turned to Mo Fan and spoke calmly. Just as Mo Fan was about to make his request to Lu Nian to let them go, Xu Mu behind him suddenly interrupted him and shouted loudly: "Mo Fan!"

The constellation has been constructed!
Mo Fan understood instantly and quickly dragged Lu Zhenghe to the side.

"Ok?"

Lu Nian cast a questioning look at Xu Mu. How could this kid complete the construction of a high-level constellation so quickly?

"Silent Thunder Death Light!"

The dazzling purple-red lightning was like the gaze of the god of death, pointing directly at Lu Nian in an instant, releasing deadly energy.

"High-level magic, constructed at such a fast speed!"

The military magicians behind Lu Nian were shocked. Even though they had heard Lu Zhenghe's words before, they had never really taken them to heart.

The difficulty of constructing constellations is extremely high. Even if you reach a high level, if you don't know how to construct constellations, such a high-level wizard is just a mid-level wizard with more magic power and skills.

What they didn't expect was that Xu Mu was not only able to construct high-level constellations, but also to complete the constellation construction so quickly.

"This power...is not good!"

Lu Nian opened his eyes wide. Why is this kid's high-level magic so powerful? Wasn't it agreed to be twice the basic power? Could it be a top-grade elemental soul seed? !

"Rock barrier!"

"Water bloom canopy!"

"Petrified!"

"Shield magic tool, armor magic tool!"

Lu Nian cast multiple magic spells in succession, covering both high-level and mid-level magic, and even used his precious shield and armor magic tools.

The other military mages also reacted quickly and began to cast magic to help Lu Nian. If Lu Nian had not intercepted the lightning with his magic in time, they would probably have been torn apart by it.

"Damn, this power!"

Feeling the powerful force of the annihilation lightning, Lu Nian was shocked. The power of this lightning was beyond imagination, and its penetrating power was amazing. Even layers of defensive magic could not stop it.

Moreover, his earth-based defense. The earth-based defense should have a high lightning resistance, enough to restrain the lightning-based defense. However, in front of this beam of lightning, the high lightning resistance was as useless as if it did not exist at all.

The magical defenses were released and broken layer by layer. Although the lightning of annihilation was powerful and terrifying, its energy was limited after all. With the combined effect of many defensive magics, it was finally blocked.

"Eye of the Rock Demon—Petrified!"

After successfully intercepting the annihilation lightning, Lu Nian immediately used his high-level earth magic. His brown eyes swept over Xu Mu and others, revealing a trace of anger.

He no longer cared about the idiot Lu Zhenghe, because the strength displayed by Xu Mu posed a serious threat to him.

Lu Zhenghe is indeed important, and he is the only pillar of support in their family, but compared with the success of the demon-related experiments, this support is better off not having it.

"madman!"

Mo Fan cursed in a low voice and pushed Lu Zhenghe forward without hesitation. Under Lu Nian's gaze, he turned into a gray-white stone statue.

"Heavenly Punishment - Thunderbolt - Wild Dance!"

Countless purple-red lightning bolts suddenly emerged from the ground, forming a dense barrier that stretched between the two sides, blocking Lu Nian's sight. His petrification ability could only work on these lightning bolts.

"Escape to the deserted city, and flee separately!"

The thunderbolt, which was comparable to high-level magic, could temporarily hold back Lu Nian. If Xu Mu was facing Lu Nian alone, even if the constellation construction was a little slow, he could handle it. However, the opponent brought more than 20 battle-hardened military mages, which made him feel doubled the pressure.

We have to deal with these military mages first!
