I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 167 Arrival in Songcheng!

Outside Jingcheng.

The clouds were as thick as black velvet, blocking out all the sunlight.

It wasn't raining, and the world was gloomy. The gray and withered colors brought by the wind made it seem lifeless.

The crowd had already formed a long queue outside the city wall, and was waiting in line to enter Jingcheng.

"This must be the group that came from Songcheng to seek refuge. They all look travel-worn," Jiang Shang sighed as he looked at the group.

Jiang Shang glanced briefly at the mages working to maintain order in the long queue, then tugged at the hood covering his head. In an instant, his figure transformed into a brilliant white bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot, soaring into the sky.

The distance between Jingcheng and Songcheng is nearly seventy kilometers, a distance that immediately dispelled Jiang Shang's original idea of ​​riding Bodu there.

He's still a child.

His strength is only at the warrior level.

So I had no choice but to trouble myself to use lightning to get there.

Although doing this consumes a lot of lightning magic energy, it also allows spatial magic to be used, so it's not a big deal.

Regarding the route, Jiang Shang decided to follow the flow of the fleeing crowd.

With a team to guide you, you won't lose your way in the vast sky.

Boom! ...

In an instant, Jiang Shang's body snaked forward like a bolt of lightning and disappeared outside Jingcheng, leaving only the resounding thunder.

"Did you hear thunder? It felt so close." A man in the group, holding a child, looked up curiously at the sky and found it was still gloomy and overcast, unchanged.

"I heard it, it might rain. Look at these dark clouds, we need to hurry into the city, or Yaya will get soaked." The woman next to the man replied anxiously, occasionally standing on tiptoe to see how many people were ahead of them in the line.

"Yeah, we need to hurry." The man switched his hands to relieve the soreness from the long-term tension.

Only Ya Ya, with her pair of bright, dark eyes reflecting the dark clouds in the sky, had a barely perceptible trail there.

…………

"Retreat immediately!!"

"These beasts! Thunder Seal!!"

"Ground Wave!!"

In a ravine about thirty kilometers from Jingcheng, several men dressed in black and blue mage robes stared furiously at the one-eyed demon wolf that had charged into the crowd. The man at the front of the group was wielding lightning that danced wildly in his hand like an electric eel, which he precisely aimed at the one-eyed demon wolf.

Another chubby-looking boy slapped his hands on the ground, causing the ground to wriggle and shift, moving away those who were near the one-eyed wolf's claws.

Ugh!

The demon wolf, struck precisely by the lightning seal, howled in agony.

The paralysis and electric arcs associated with the lightning seal continued to conduct through its strong body, while the electric arcs on the outside also struck its body fiercely, tearing its skin and flesh.

Just after the crowd had been cleared, an angry voice rang out.

"Sizzle—Explode!!"

Instantly, a ball of crimson fire exploded from where the one-eyed demon wolf was, the powerful flames engulfing the wolf's body. The flames licked the wounds inflicted by the lightning strike, releasing a pungent aroma of flesh.

Then the one-eyed wolf's body was blasted away by the force of the explosion, crashing into a tree as thick as a person, and it died.

But before Huo Zinan could even celebrate his victory, the howling of wolves echoing from all sides pulled him back to reality.

Too much.

It's too much.

As soon as they could see, there were nearly thirty one-eyed demon wolves entrenched on the mountainside, watching them intently from below.

And standing among them, the body hidden by the trees appeared even taller, and the fur and skin color even darker.

Only the menacing glint in its eyes could confirm its identity.

A demon of warrior-level caliber!

Three-eyed demon wolf!

The mage standing at the forefront trembled upon seeing this scene, his voice trembling as he struggled to his throat before finally uttering, "Three-eyed, three-eyed demon wolf!!!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a series of dark shadows darted out from behind the three-eyed demon wolf, moving with the speed of the wind. They howled and roared, seemingly enjoying this gluttonous feast.

Ugh!

Ugh! ...

For all the mages and civilians present, the sight of a pack of one-eyed demon wolves rushing towards them was an unforgettable experience, for after today, they might never see such a scene again.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder rang out from the sky!

Then, at the same time, this group of people witnessed another unforgettable scene in their lives—purple lightning suddenly descended from the clear sky, like branches growing from the sky to the earth, or like divine punishment from the gods. The purple jade and glass, with unparalleled momentum and power, bombarded the one-eyed demon wolves.

The terrifying power carried by the lightning directly annihilated the demon wolves in the purple light, leaving not even a trace of gray.

Even the three-eyed demon wolf that had been standing on the rocks halfway up the mountain could not escape the punishment of the thunder and was equally reduced to ashes.

"This is!!"

Huo Zinan looked excitedly up at the sky, trying to find the figure he wanted to see in the boundless sky.

Unfortunately, the person who casually unleashed the lightning punishment has already ridden away on the thunderbolts.

"Don't just stand there. This must have been done by some high-ranking mage who was passing by. Such a mage wouldn't stay here; he must have rushed to the front lines of the battle against the demons. Let's quickly gather the crowd and keep the procession moving, otherwise the rest of the procession will get stuck." A military mage came over and patted him on the shoulder, speaking up.

"yes!"

…………

Transforming into lightning in the sky, Jiang Shang's gaze swept across the crowd on the ground.

Wherever an insurmountable demon appeared, a bolt of Xuandu lightning would be unleashed to strike and kill the invading demon.

Although the lightning was just a casually unleashed attack without being connected to any complex star array, the power of the star track magic combined with the Xuan Du lightning's abnormal nine-fold boost was already comparable to most mid-level spells.

With a single strike of lightning, not only would hordes of slave-level demons perish, but even warrior-level monsters would meet their end here.

After flying for nearly half an hour, the brilliant white lightning finally arrived in Songcheng.

From the sky, Songcheng was already in ruins, and as far as the eye could see, there were only flames and blinding blood.

Low-rise buildings, somewhat old cement streets... a vegetable market flowing with bright red blood!

That blood could not possibly be the blood of poultry; it was the blood of living people, which gathered into streams that flowed continuously into low-lying areas and sewer openings under the irrigation of heavy rain!

Blood red, a striking blood red.

"Woohoo~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from afar, and the wind and dust carried by the sound instantly engulfed the sky for several kilometers around Songcheng. The entire area was like a rare sandstorm, making it suffocating.
