Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 158 Jiang Feng: "Master," take revenge personally!

"Thanks to these tamed beasts and desert fire horses, we were able to get ahead of the others and enter the Fire Cloud Forest first!"

"Who can argue with that? In order to be the first to see the legendary Star Language Tree, we've given up countless rare and precious treasures along the way. It's truly heartbreaking!" one of them said with a bitter smile.

"Ha, compared to the legendary Fire Calamity Fruit that can condense 100% high-quality soul seeds, the resources we encounter on the way are nothing but petty gains!" Zhao Yulin said with great disdain.

At the very back of the procession, a ghostly woman wrapped in white cloth gave a sinister smile, inwardly cursing.

"Heh, the Fire Calamity Fruit can only be mine. Once we get there, it'll be useless to you all!"

Zhao Yulin and his group had very different mindsets. Some were glad about their trip to Zhuoyuan North Point, some were heartbroken about missing out on resources, and some, like the Ghost Woman, were excited to pop champagne in advance because their wish was about to be fulfilled!
However, neither of them noticed that two powerful gazes had locked onto them!

Lu Ran and Jiang Feng's figures were clearly visible in the sky.

At this moment, the flames on Jiang Feng's body had subsided by most, and with the help of a fire-repelling magic artifact provided by Lu Ran, Zhao Chenying was carried on Jiang Feng's back.

"These are them?"

After asking the question, Lu Ran couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

At the very back of the procession, the white-clothed figure sitting on a desert fire horse was all too obvious!

Upon seeing the white-clothed figure and Zhao Yulin, Jiang Feng's heart, which had been calmed and relieved by her daughter's approval, began to pound violently once again.

"Even if they turn to ashes, I will not mistake them!"

Within the voice of the soul, came Jiang Feng's voice, filled with resentment.

Lu Ran nodded, waved his arm, and made everyone's figures shift and appear in front of Zhao Yulin and the others.

A man and a woman suddenly appeared in front of him, and Zhao Yulin was immediately on high alert!
What shocked him even more was that the woman among the two was not human!
"Who goes there?!" Zhao Yulin exclaimed in surprise.

Looking at Zhao Yulin, who was sitting on a desert fire horse and looking down at him, Lu Ran raised an eyebrow:
"Get down here and talk!"

As he spoke, Lu Ran casually flipped his palm, and a powerful spatial force slammed Zhao Yulin and the others to the ground.

The desert fire horse was startled and began to flee in all directions.

"Space-type? Such powerful mental strength! Who are you? When did I, Zhao Yulin, ever offend you?" Zhao Yulin shouted in a panic.

With just one glance, Zhao Yulin knew that the young man's strength and cultivation were far superior to his own!

Meanwhile, Jiang Feng's line of sight was not to Zhao Yulin and his group. Her eyes were fixed on the ghost woman, without ever shifting her gaze!
The ghost woman was equally bewildered and confused. She immediately recognized her target: Jiang Feng, the fire witch who had once saved her!

She never expected that Jiang Feng would take the initiative to find her.

Are they here for revenge?

Just as the ghost woman was contemplating whether to strike first, Jiang Feng made her move!

As a sub-monarch, Jiang Feng could easily kill the ghost woman without needing to seize the initiative.

But at this moment, Jiang Feng felt a surge of anger, and she wished she could tear the woman in front of her apart, rip out her bones and soul!
Seeing the raging flames rise up and crash down on the ghost woman, Zhao Yulin and his group all turned pale!

Zhao Yulin was startled and roared:
"Jiang Feng!"

This "Jiang Feng" wasn't calling for the Flame Witch, but for the White Cloth Ghost Woman!
Lu Ran knew that the ghost woman had already planted a mental suggestion in them.

In other words, over the years, Zhao Yulin's family has been unknowingly influenced and controlled by the ghost woman's mental powers!
But from Zhao Yulin's perspective, Jiang Feng was still his wife in name only. Even though it had been a dead marriage for more than ten years and he had found a new love, a man could not bear to see his wife in name being murdered in front of him!
This is absolutely shameful!
Thinking this, Zhao Yulin's eyes quickly turned brown, flashing with the energy of the Earth element!

The Rock Demon's Eye was halfway condensed when suddenly, a tremendous spatial pressure forced Zhao Yulin into the ground, embedding him firmly in the earth. "Ah!"

Zhao Yulin roared in pain.

Seeing this, Zhao Chenying turned pale and looked at Lu Ran, whispering, "Stop, stop!"

After all, he was her father. Even though Zhao Yulin had wronged her mother a lot over the years, Zhao Chenying still couldn't remain indifferent.

Lu Ran remained expressionless and gave Zhao Yulin a 'lesson,' naturally to vent her anger for her contracted beast, Jiang Feng.

Although Jiang Feng had already made it clear that she had no further dealings with Zhao Yulin, he, as the host, was not that magnanimous!
"Hmph, the mind-controlling spells that have deceived you for so many years have been cleared away by me. Now, open your eyes and see who Jiang Feng really is!" Lu Ran said coldly.

A special spiritual power was bestowed upon Zhao Yulin and the others, allowing them to directly see Jiang Feng's face within the flames!

He also clearly saw the true face of the woman whose face was covered by a white cloth.

"This...she's not Jiang Feng?!"

Zhao Yulin opened his eyes wide and roared as he pointed at the ghost woman who was being scorched by Jiang Feng's flames and was retreating step by step.

Not far away, the Ghost Woman unleashed all her curse and mind-based abilities, revealing no hidden trump cards, yet she was still utterly overwhelmed by the Flame Witch Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng's current strength is indeed that of a sub-monarch!

Dealing with a high-level mage is a piece of cake.

The ghost woman was furious when she saw that Lu Ran had exposed the truth of the matter with just one sentence!

Where did this brat come from, ruining my plans!

Seeing that her plan had been exposed and there was no way to turn things around, the ghost woman's mind hardened, and with a mindset of mutual destruction, she pounced on Lu Ran!

Lu Ran's lips curled up in a smile, and he said:
"Interesting, but unfortunately you've chosen the wrong opponent!"

Before she could finish speaking, a rapidly erected spatial barrier blocked the ghost woman's mental attack.

The high-level curse magic ghost form that flew in afterward was crushed by Lu Ran's giant spatial palm with his bare hands!
The ghost woman was stunned by what she saw.

Her two surprise attacks were easily neutralized by him.

How can it be? ! !

He's so young!!

Filled with confusion, resentment, and bewilderment, a raging fire descended from the sky, melting the ghost woman into black charcoal dust.

The Flame Witch Jiang Feng descended from the sky, her flames rapidly receding. She quickly floated to Lu Ran's side and asked worriedly:
"Are you okay?"

Lu Ran shook his head:

"With her strength, she can't hurt me."

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, while simultaneously mocking herself for worrying too much.

With the master's strength, how could he possibly be injured by the ghost woman?
Wait, why are you calling for the master again?

The master clearly said to call him Lu Ran.
Beside him, Zhao Yulin stared blankly at Jiang Feng as she extinguished her flames, completely unaware of the embarrassment and inner turmoil Jiang Feng was feeling.
