Versatile Mage: Hell Starts, but the Shadow King

Cheng Xiao took his sister-in-law Lingling and their newly acquired pet snake Apas to South America.

After arriving in South America, Lingling originally wanted to fully experience the exotic culture of South America.

But Cheng Xiao's plan remained unchanged: strike at the heart of the enemy!
Lingling looked unhappy, but since it involved the Black Vatican, she could only help Cheng Xiao investigate the information, no matter how dissatisfied she was.

“Half Ridge Mountain City is right here,” Lingling said, pointing to the electronic map on her laptop.

Cheng Xiao noted it down, and then instructed Apas:
"Protect her, understand?"

Apas nodded obediently:
"Don't worry, Master, you can go and do your work with peace of mind."

With Apas around, Cheng Xiao wasn't worried about Lingling getting into trouble, and headed towards Half Ridge City with peace of mind.
..............................

Banling Mountain City is the headquarters of the brown army led by Nan Zhuo.

It is worth mentioning that this half-mountain city also contains a powerful pentagonal thunderstone vein.

Such a mine is enough to support the capital to establish an empire.

However, at this point in time, the pentagram thunderstone has not yet been detected and will only be gradually discovered after the siren arrives.

Cheng Xiao came to Banling Mountain City not just to try his luck and see if Wu Ku was in this area.

If you're not available, acquiring the five-pointed thunderstone vein is also a good option.

With the lightning element having only recently awakened, and supported by such a massive mineral vein, reaching the peak in a short time should be no problem at all.
Cheng Xiao directly adapted to the Eye of Time and Space to travel through space and found the location of Banling Mountain City.

Although Banling Mountain City was not on high alert, the arrival of the super-level aura still alarmed many experts from the brown army.

General Damon, a light-elemental super-level mage and commander of the brown army, was the first to detect Cheng Xiao's presence and quickly set out to find him.
"What brings you here uninvited?" Damon asked Cheng Xiao with a frown.

Although Cheng Xiao's aura was very weak, only at the early stage of the Super Rank, it gave Damon a very dangerous feeling.

The fact that the other party was able to enter the mountain city silently indicates that they are a master of the dimensional realm.

But to sneak into the city and then appear openly is truly strange.
"I'm here to find someone," Cheng Xiao said directly.

"Looking for someone?" Damon looked puzzled.

"You should have heard of your Rain Master."

As Cheng Xiao spoke, he activated his Eye of Time and Space and quickly scanned the entire mountain city.

There was no trace of the source of the disaster within the mountain town, but a large number of troops were stationed in the direction from the mountain town toward the tropical rainforest.

Moreover, there were only a few super-rank auras within the city, and no one who matched the brown army leader, Nan Zhuo.
"Isn't it in the city?" Cheng Xiao looked towards the mountain town bordering the tropical rainforest.

"That place... is worth checking out."

Seeing the direction Cheng Xiao was looking, Damon sensed something was wrong and said in a deep voice:
"No matter what your purpose is in coming here, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you've come to the wrong place!"

A powerful force of light rose from Damon's body, its momentum overwhelming!

Cheng Xiao merely glanced at him indifferently before vanishing into the void.

Cheng Xiao, the brown-haired soldier, had no good feelings towards him whatsoever. After all, he was associated with the leader of the Black Vatican; what kind of good person could he be?

However, since they still needed to find the angel of wisdom, Gabriel, killing someone now might cause misunderstandings, so there was no need to get bogged down in it further.
Damon was taken aback, his expression changing slightly. It was indeed difficult to keep a super-level expert from the dimensional system; they could come and go as they pleased.

He immediately contacted Nan Zhuo:
"Leader, a powerful enemy has gone in the direction of you and the Celestial Master."

“.” …………………………

Above the tropical rainforest outside the city.

The frenzied sounds of winged insects echoed through the forest, forming a dense, impenetrable defensive line.

A winding, powerful river, its turbid silt churning, from which countless spirits crawl.

The overwhelming deathly aura surged towards the sky, forming a powerful defensive line on the ground with the bodies of the dead.

Countless mages were also hidden behind the defensive line in the forest and in the air, ready to launch a massive attack at any moment.
The brown army leader, Nan Zhuo, held a brown scepter and hovered in mid-air.

Those sharp eyes suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction ahead.

Cheng Xiao's figure appeared out of the void, his aura completely undisguised.

"I know you. Ha, you dare to come to my territory with only the cultivation of the early stage of the Super Rank? I went to great lengths to welcome you."

Nan Zhuo looked at Cheng Xiao, his tone full of sarcasm.

He thought it was a top expert from some faction chasing after Wu Ku, but he didn't expect it to be the number one person in this year's academy competition.

As a seasoned semi-forbidden spell expert, Nan Zhuo did not think Cheng Xiao was worthy of his attention, even though the latter was the number one young talent in the world.
"I never expected you to go to such lengths for Wu Ku," Cheng Xiao said bluntly.
"Judging from this situation, Wu Ku should be in your camp, right? I don't care about your actions in South America. Hand over Wu Ku and I'll leave immediately."

"You're just a newborn calf that doesn't fear a tiger! What arrogance!" Nan Zhu sneered.

"Don't think that just because you have the oath of the Holy City as your trump card, you can do whatever you want!"

Nan Zhuo unleashed his semi-forbidden spell-level aura, attempting to force Cheng Xiao back:

"I don't want to offend a genius who has three chances to survive, but I don't mind teaching you a lesson!"
“I will not hand over the Celestial Master. If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly, and I can pretend you never existed.”

"You knew all along that he was a member of the Black Vatican. Protecting him wasn't just stealing the country, it was making an enemy of the whole world!"

Cheng Xiao's body shone with a dazzling platinum divine light, and the Dominator Battle Armor was instantly donned.

The powerful aura and presence made it hard for Nan Zhuo to breathe!

Nan Zhuo, who was calm just a second ago, changed his expression drastically. He never expected Cheng Xiao to unleash such powerful strength!

"I'm willing to waste my breath here because of your sister, but if you continue to obstruct me..."

Cheng Xiao raised the Dominator's hand, locking onto the billions of insect swarms and undead tides behind Nan Zhuo, and casually squeezed it.

A low, booming sound echoed through the space, and the whole world seemed to freeze.

The billions of insect plagues and the tide of undead were wiped out in an instant, and the powerful aftershocks sent all the defending brown army flying!
Regardless of their level, even those at the Super-Rank and Monarch levels suffered considerable damage under such seemingly insignificant control.
"Forbidden spell." Seeing the miserable state of his subordinates, Nan Zhuo was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

Such power is beyond the reach of even a semi-forbidden spell level expert like him.

The only forbidden spell that can surpass a semi-forbidden spell!!!

The Cheng Xiao before me, clad in platinum-gold armor, was actually able to unleash forbidden spell power?!
Cheng Xiao slowly flew away from Nan Zhuo, and seeing that the latter dared not stop him anymore, he continued to fly towards the upper river.

At the location above the river, Cheng Xiao felt that primal force as soon as he put on the Dominator's Battle Armor.
