Chapter 134 Successful escape
"Look, what's that in the sky?"
"It's a ball of light, and there's a wizard on it!"
In the crowded square, someone pointed at the purple-red ball of light above their heads and Zhu Meng who was rushing towards them.
"This ball of light seems a little unusual..."
Some people had solemn expressions. There were quite a few mages in the crowd. Although most of them were beginner or intermediate level with mediocre strength, they could still feel the terrifying aura emitted by the light ball.
magic!
This ball of light is a powerful lightning magic, at least intermediate level or above!
The consequences of releasing a mid-level or higher lightning magic in a crowded square would be disastrous, and at least dozens of people would die!
"Oh no, it's magic, run away!" someone shouted and immediately drew a star map, trying to release defensive magic.
But when they heard that the light ball was magic, the people in the square fled in all directions like frightened birds. The situation was in chaos, and people kept bumping into him, making it impossible for him to concentrate and continue drawing the star map.
Although there were many mages in the square, in this chaotic situation, their spellcasting was interrupted by the crowd's collision and could not play its due role.
Fortunately, when the thunder ball was about to fall into the crowd, the middle-aged man with a pair of flaming wings on his back arrived in time.
Zhu Meng passed the thunder ball and stood above the crowd, staring at Xu Mu's receding back with murderous eyes. His right hand clenched into a fist, and the blazing flames formed one barrier after another, tightly surrounding the thunder ball.
There are three layers of barriers!
He had seen that Xu Mu's lightning magic was extremely terrifying, and ordinary high-level magic could not withstand the power of the silent thunder death light.
There are dense crowds of people here, and the speed of releasing super-level magic is too slow, so he can only use multiple high-level magics to protect these people.
However, he soon discovered something unusual. The lightning ball did not explode when it came into contact with the flame barrier. Instead, it floated inside the barrier like a harmless balloon.
"Such a strong control, is he buying himself time to escape?"
Zhu Meng frowned and waved his hand to control the flames inside the barrier to attack the thunder ball. The flames collided with the thunder ball. He thought that the thunder ball would burst out with powerful energy and collide with the barrier he had set up.
However, the thunder ball only made a slight sound, and then disappeared without a trace after being accompanied by dazzling lightning flash for more than ten seconds.
Zhu Meng looked in surprise at the flame barrier after the lightning dissipated, and there was nothing there.
The ball of light just now was not as powerful as he had imagined. Compared with the one that hit him before, its power was obviously much smaller.
Even so, the power of the light ball is enough to match that of a primary magic spell, and it can easily kill several people.
"Your control over lightning is almost as good as mine."
Zhu Meng found it a little hard to believe. It was a good thing that no one was injured, but he just couldn't be happy.
As a super-class lightning mage, his control over lightning is already quite strong.
He can easily cast high-level lightning magic, whether for attack or defense, and can even transform into lightning wings to travel quickly.
This young man is obviously just a high-level wizard, but his control over lightning is almost as good as his own.
He was able to split the Silent Thunder Death Light into two light balls, one of which condensed almost all the power and came straight towards him.
The other ball of light contained only a very small amount of energy and flew towards the crowd, forcing him to give up chasing it and protect those people.
What is even more unexpected is that even this ball of light containing only a very small amount of energy was cleverly transformed into a blinding skill under the opponent's control.
With such a terrifying control ability, some thunder mages who have just been promoted to the super level are still weak, and are not even as strong as Xu Mu, a high-level mage, in controlling the thunder system. Xu Mu had no intention of harming ordinary people, and Zhu Meng's original killing intention immediately dissipated, and he admired Xu Mu more and more.
Such a good seedling must be recruited and his ideas must be corrected.
We have already entered the 21st century, how come there are still young people with such feudal ideas that they believe in such absurd remarks as totem animals being the patron saints of mankind?
How could a young man in his twenties have more feudal ideas than a middle-aged man in his forties?
"It seems that I have to find some time to visit the local education bureau." Zhu Meng shook his head and flapped his wings to continue chasing Xu Mu.
Although Xu Mu had escaped very far, Zhu Meng was still able to catch up with him with his super-class strength.
Just when Zhu Meng had flown less than a hundred meters, he suddenly saw several purple-red light balls being thrown towards the crowded area!
Zhu Meng's eyes suddenly widened, and the murderous intent that had just dissipated surged again.
The aura emitted by each of these light balls is extremely terrifying. If the light balls are not controlled well, they will cause a huge disaster.
Zhu Meng knew nothing about Xu Mu's character. He had never even seen Xu Mu before. He didn't dare to bet on whether Xu Mu was good or evil, let alone whether these light balls were as harmless as the previous ones.
"Hey guy, you'd better pray that these light balls don't hurt anyone!" Zhu Meng puffed out his beard and glared, the murderous intent and anger in his eyes at this moment were by no means false.
He has made up his mind that even if there is nothing wrong with these light balls, he will teach this guy a lesson after catching Xu Mu!
……
On the other side, after Xu Mu flew to a very far place, he used instant movement to land on the ground.
Flying in the sky is too conspicuous, and he would probably be discovered and captured by Zhu Meng's people before he even flies out of the security realm.
"This guy Zhu Meng must be furious, right?" Xu Mu imagined the scene of Zhu Meng's rage and burst into laughter.
It is truly shameful that a member of parliament should be outwitted by a nobody.
He was lucky. Zhu Meng did not attack him harshly right away. Instead, he wanted to capture him alive and force him to tell him the whereabouts of the black snake.
Otherwise, even in a crowded downtown, no matter how strong you are, it will be difficult to escape from a super-powerful person.
“Ding ding ding~~~~~”
The phone rang suddenly. It was the unique ringtone Xu Mu set specifically for little Loli Lingling.
Xu Mu answered the phone and said as he walked: "Hello, Lingling?"
"The hunter who accepted the commission has obtained the eagle red grass and it is on the way. When are you going to send it over to research the antidote?" Lingling's clear and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.
"So fast, shouldn't it take a day?" Xu Mu felt a little surprised.
"I increased the money, so they completed the task ahead of schedule," Lingling explained.
"The number of people infected by the plague in White Town has exceeded 10,000, and the death toll is also rising. If we can get the Eagle Red Grass sooner, we can save more lives."
"The commission fee can be paid by the Hangzhou government when the time comes."
"Where are you? I'll come find you right away." Xu Mu nodded, and then asked about Lingling's whereabouts.
"I was in the hotel!"
