Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 131 Thunder Spear
Soon after.

Zhao Yulin and his group successfully traversed the Fire Cloud Forest.

When Chen Ying saw that her father and that 'mother' had actually arrived, she first stared wide-eyed at Su Chi, then the surprise in her eyes quickly disappeared, and she walked resolutely toward Zhao Yulin and the others.

"Ying'er, what are you doing here? Come here quickly, it's dangerous over there."

Seeing that his daughter had also come here, Zhao Yulin shouted loudly while keeping a close eye on the Flame Witch on the Starry Sky Tree, fearing that she would harm his daughter.

However, Chen Ying completely ignored Zhao Yulin's intentions, her gaze remaining fixed on the white-clothed figure behind him.

"Ying'er, come here quickly." The white-clothed man's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Ying, and he spoke up.

The voice even carried a seductive, mind-controlling quality, capable of making Chen Ying subconsciously do as she was told.

Just as the bewitching voice was about to take effect, a necklace around Chen Ying's neck suddenly emitted a faint light, protecting her from the mental manipulation.

"You vicious woman, you're not my mother at all! You're the Ghost Woman, a wanted criminal with a bounty on your head from the Dunhuang Military Region for years!" Chen Ying gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with rage as she looked at the woman in white.

"What!!"

Zhao Yulin found it hard to believe what his daughter had said.

What exactly is going on?

"Ying'er, do you know something?" Zhao Yulin asked Chen Ying as he quickly moved away from the ghost woman who was behind her.

"She is my mother!" Chen Ying pointed at the Flame Witch who had come to her side, then glared angrily at the white-clothed figure.

"And this person is nothing but an ungrateful beast who stole my mother's memories!!!"

Seeing that her plan had been exposed, and with the Flame Witch Jiang Feng glaring at her angrily, the ghost woman knew that things were hopeless.

"Soul Capture and Mind Control!!"

The white-clothed ghost woman sensed something was wrong as soon as she realized she hadn't been able to control Chen Ying immediately. The reason she hadn't interrupted Chen Ying was simply to buy time so she could successfully unleash her magic.

The terrifying mental power swept directly towards the exhausted mages behind her.

The people Zhao Yulin found were all mid-level mages, and they were already exhausted from being ambushed by the Three-Headed Evil Python several times while crossing the Fire Cloud Forest.

Now, directly impacted by high-level mind magic, the group was utterly powerless to resist.

Five walking corpses appeared in unison beside the ghost woman, surrounding her in the center.

After so many years of getting to know each other, she has come to understand Chenying's family very well.

These people are all members of the Zhao clan. If they are taken hostage, Zhao Yulin will definitely be hesitant to harm her.

Even though Jiang Feng has transformed into a fire witch, her kind heart remains unchanged.

This was the only way she could think of to survive, since she was now in the center of the flat-topped mountain, and even if she ran, she couldn't escape Jiang Feng's pursuit.

"Psychic ability!! How can you have a psychic ability?!"

Zhao Yunlin recognized the method used by the man in white at a glance; it was clearly the power of mind magic.

He clearly remembered that his wife, Jiang Feng, was a young female genius who had reached the advanced level, awakening three elements: fire as her main element, earth as her secondary element, and space as her secondary element!

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for his wife to possess mental powers. Zhao Yulin instantly accepted what his daughter Chenying had just said.

"You wicked woman!! You've deceived me for so many years, I will never let you get away with this!!"

"You surnamed Zhao, you can only blame your stupidity!!"

While controlling the group to retreat and create distance, the man in white cloth sneered at Zhao Yulin, "You can't even recognize your own wife? You're the biggest failure in the world!!"

The hostages around the ghost woman did indeed have a very good effect, making Zhao Yulin and the Flame Witch Jiang Feng wary and dare not make a move.

Just as the ghost woman was slowly retreating to the edge of the Fire Cloud Forest while controlling the hostages, a three-headed python-like demon slithered out of the Fire Cloud Forest.

Judging from its route, this commander-level three-headed serpent's target was the ghost woman and the few poor souls beside her.

"Watch your back!!"

Zhao Yulin also spotted the three-headed evil python rushing towards them at high speed, and couldn't help but shout a warning.

He didn't want to warn the ghost woman, but he had no choice. Several of his clansmen were guarding her. If the ghost woman didn't move away, his clansmen would probably be in grave danger. After all, he had already witnessed the three-headed evil python's methods many times before.

"Zhao Yulin, you really are a fool. Do you think I'd fall for such a simple scam??"

The white-clothed ghost woman launched a barrage of attacks at Zhao Yulin, mainly because she thought this Zhao guy was treating her like a child who was easy to fool.

Then she turned her gaze to Chen Ying, who was not far away, and said, "You've called me 'Mother' for so many years, so I'll give you one last piece of advice: stay away from that old bastard Zhao Yulin. He's an extremely hypocritical idiot, and I'm afraid that if you spend too much time with him, you'll become just as stupid as him."

"Shut up! You vicious woman, you have no right to be my mother!!"

Chenying's face turned bright red, whether from anger or from thinking about her past behavior of "recognizing a thief as her mother" and feeling extremely ashamed.

"shut up!!"

Hearing Chenying repeatedly use insulting words like "poisonous woman" and "vicious woman," the ghost woman became furious.

If it weren't for Jiang Feng's strength preventing her from acting rashly, she would have already killed Chen Ying and that good-for-nothing Zhao Yulin!
Not to mention Chen Ying, a mid-level mage is nothing in her eyes, and Zhao Yulin, that useless high-level mage, is just a matter of being punished by ghosts.

Hiss hiss hiss!!

The sudden roar instantly caught the ghost woman's attention, and she immediately determined that the source of the sound was not far from her.

Could this sound, which only snakes can make, be from the Three-Headed Evil Python in the Fire Cloud Forest?

The ghost woman immediately looked behind her.

The three-headed serpent's central, fiery red head lunged straight at her, seemingly trying to swallow her whole.

"Rock Barrier!!"

Besides her mental and curse abilities, the ghost woman's third awakened ability is earth, and she has already cultivated it to a high level.

The massive brown rock barrier withstood the three-headed serpent's gaping maw, but before the ghost woman could even catch her breath, a flaming sword made entirely of calamity flames hurtled towards her. The ghost woman didn't possess an earth-elemental soul seed, so her rock barrier, having already blocked the serpent's sneak attack, was no longer capable of stopping the flaming sword hurtling towards her.

Left with no other choice, the ghost woman had to summon her most treasured defensive magical artifact to defend herself.

"Ground Wave - Displacement!!"

While the ghost woman was defending against Jiang Feng's attack, Zhao Yulin used a low-level earth magic spell to transfer the three surviving people next to the ghost woman to his side.

As for the other two, they had already died in the Three-Headed Serpent's sneak attack and were swallowed whole.

The Three-Headed Evil Python, which had come out to launch a sneak attack earlier, was so frightened by the attack from the Flame Witch Jiang Feng that it immediately turned and ran towards the interior of the Fire Cloud Forest.

Whether it was genuinely terrified by Jiang Feng or had different ideas from its three heads, during its escape, the three heads of the Three-Headed Serpent stretched out in three different directions in an extremely uncoordinated manner, making its stumbling and swaying appearance look quite comical.

In just a few seconds, the three-headed serpent disappeared from everyone's sight.

On the other side, seeing that the hostage she was trying to save had been rescued by Zhao Yulin, the ghost woman, sensing that the situation was very bad, instantly flew into a rage.

Without thinking twice, they went straight for that despicable idiot.

"You bastard surnamed Zhao, how dare you ruin my plans?! You're asking for it!!"

"Ghost punishment!!"

As the high-level curse magic was successfully released, a huge, half-illusory, half-real ghost appeared behind Zhao Yulin in his terrified gaze.

This incredibly ferocious-looking monster had a tall and imposing figure, its size resembling a small mountain, and its overall appearance was that of a malevolent spirit.

Zhao Yulin had no time to dodge. His entire body was firmly gripped by the hands of the evil spirit. As the ghost increased the force on its arms, Zhao Yulin felt no pain in his body, but his soul was in excruciating pain.

As if being torn apart by a demon, the intense pain from the depths of his soul caused Zhao Yulin to scream out in agony.

The sound was incredibly heart-wrenching!
whisper!!!
Seeing that this vicious woman who had been impersonating her for many years still dared to attack Zhao Yulin, she still felt extremely angry, even though she had given up on Zhao Yulin.

Jiang Feng first put her hand to her mouth, then gently blew a breath toward the ghost woman.

Despite her unusually gentle movements, the breath she exhaled instantly transformed the flames within her Fire Tribulation Domain into leaves resembling fiery cloud leaves.

These leaves fluttered in the air, blocking all of the ghost woman's escape routes.

As the fiery leaves drifted down onto the ground where the ghost woman stood, the reddish-brown earth seemed like some kind of flammable material, causing endless flames to burst forth, forming clusters of sparks.

These countless fireballs connected with each other, instantly forming a vast sea of ​​fire that completely trapped the ghost woman, leaving her no chance to escape.

Although Jiang Feng was extremely furious at this moment, she did not take action directly, but instead questioned the ghost woman.

She already knew that the ghost woman was the same woman she had rescued from the heavenly fire, but the ghost woman had acted very kindly in front of her after she was rescued.

Ring!! (I kindly saved you back then, why are you so ungrateful?)

"Stop pretending." The ghost woman knew she was doomed, so she spoke very rudely.

"You are just as hypocritical as Zhao Yulin. On the surface, you appear to be warm and kind, but in reality, you are only thinking of yourself."

Ring!! (How could you say that? Back then...)

"Hmph! You could have let me eat a Fire Calamity Fruit to avoid the suffering I've endured all these years, but you didn't!!"

The ghost woman roared, her only exposed eyes wide and bulging with rage: "I know that you have such great strength now because you ate the Fire Calamity Fruit. Otherwise, with your strength as a high-level mage in your previous life, you wouldn't have been able to withstand more than a few of my moves."

"You're just worried that after I eat the Fire Calamity Fruit, my strength will far surpass yours now, so you selfishly didn't give it to me because you're afraid!!"

While the ghost woman was still chattering away, she didn't notice a figure that had already approached her.

Actually, after seeing Jiang Feng successfully trap the ghost woman, Su Chi quietly walked over here.

He didn't make a move before because he trusted Jiang Feng's abilities, and also because he was too lazy to do so.

However, now that the ghost woman has nowhere to escape, he can come out and pick up the heads. After all, although this venomous woman is not a good person, the bounty offered by Dunhuang is very generous.

In order to prevent the Ghost Woman from being burned to ashes by Jiang Feng's Fire Calamity Domain and wasting that portion of the bounty, Su Chi had no choice but to act ahead of time.

However, he waited for the right moment, and only made his move when Jiang Feng had asked enough questions and the ghost woman was talking about worthless things.

"Silent Thunder Death Ray!!"

Su Chi stood slightly behind and to the left of the ghost woman, and quickly sketched out seven star charts.

As the star charts intertwined, a magnificent three-dimensional constellation accentuated Su Chi's domineering presence.

The lightning bolt that had broken through the command level had already completed its possession. Combined with the Soul Devouring Domain, the endless lightning was under Su Chi's control, quickly transforming into a lightning spear.

The crimson lightning spear was entirely composed of the three highly offensive lightning bolts.

With a flash of lightning, Su Chi suddenly unleashed a lightning spear filled with destructive energy.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning spear shot out hundreds of meters.

The ghost woman, who had been mocking Jiang Feng, sensed danger approaching. She turned her head slightly and caught a glimpse of the dazzling lightning, but it was too late for her to dodge.

In that split second, she only had time to put on the armor she had never used before.

But her little wish was ultimately just wishful thinking.

The crimson lightning spear did not slow down at all after contacting the armored demonic artifact; the dark red spearhead, with unparalleled penetrating power, pierced directly through the demon woman's brain.

The powerful impact even slammed the pierced head into the ground several meters to its right.

This venomous woman, who had been on the run for many years, finally died at Su Chi's hands.

After seeing Su Chi make his move, the Flame Witch Jiang Feng didn't say anything, but instead directly took back the sea of ​​fire that covered the ground.

Zhao Yulin, who was still suffering from soul torment, had now broken free from the evil spirit's restraints and was slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

As soon as the fire was extinguished, Chen Ying arrived at the ghost woman's corpse. Seeing the vicious woman who had been impersonating her mother for many years now lying dead with her eyes wide open in terror, she kicked her a few times as if she was still not satisfied.
