”Which direction?” asked Mu Ningxue immediately.
”You'll see some bamboo shoot reefs after leaving the safe zone. Head east from there, and you'll find the reef island!” said Zhao Manyan.
The Magic Winds had used up all his energy. He could no longer fly, and only hoped that the others could make it in time.
The truth was, even flying there would take quite a long time. Mo Fan's armor was almost destroyed, he would not last for long.
After Zhao Manyan gave her directions, Mu Ningxue immediately summoned a wind to circle her elegant figure, which pushed her straight toward the sea...
She jumped onto the water. The waves under her feet immediately turned into ice for her to sprint on.
The wind surged into the distance as Mu Ningxue sprinted across the surface of the sea. The water her feet made contact with instantly froze, creating a long path of ice across the vast ocean.
Her silver hair drifted in the wind. Her feet were shuffling forward as she was hovering above the ice in the wind, leaving a rug made of ice behind her. The others were dazzled by Mu Ningxue's control of the Ice and Wind Elements.
The others could not fly, thus they simply followed after Mu Ningxue on the path of ice. Even though it was likely that Mo Fan would be dead by the time they reached the island, they could not afford to give up on the smallest glimpse of hope.

The calm sea continued to undulate with occasional huge waves splashing on the tiny reefs island like a gigantic beast with its mouth wide open.
On the reefs island, Mo Fan was using his mental energy to resist the scarlet tide rolling in his direction. Unfortunately, he still lacked experience using the Space Element. He had no choice but to summon the Departing Nether Shield...
The Departing Nether Shield was effective at blocking a Warrior-level creature's attack, but that was obviously not the case against the attack of a Commander-level creature. Luckily, the Scarlet Rending Demon had not recovered from the injury inflicted by Ai Jiangtu's Demon Torture, which greatly weakened the strength of its magic. Otherwise, it could have easily defeated Mo Fan with its ability to control water!
Mo Fan had focused his attacks on the Scarlet Rending Demon's chest. It was the creature's most vulnerable point. Its previous injuries and the poison inflicted by the wasps had provided him with a vulnerability.
The scarlet tide rolled in Mo Fan's direction. The Departing Nether Shield vanished after the strength of the tide surpassed its limit. Mo Fan immediately used little Flame Belle's Calamity Fire to forcibly overcome the remaining strength of the wave!
”Flame sword!” Mo Fan yelled. Two different kinds of fire combined into a spiral pattern and formed a blazing long sword ten meters long! The flame sword blazed across the sky and flew straight at the Scarlet Rending Demon's chest.
The Scarlet Rending Demon shoved its claws forward and summoned the waves splashing on the rocks nearby to form a wall to shield itself from the burning slash!
The flame sword's strength was greatly weakened by the wall. Since fire was weak against water, the effect of his fire sword was below his expectations...
”Lightning Disaster!”
Mo Fan did not stop there. He pointed his finger at the sky, summoning bolts of fierce lightning.
Lightning strikes descended wildly and landed on the Scarlet Rending Demon. The flickering lightning arcs formed a web around the creature and landed repeatedly on the creature's body.
The armor covering the Scarlet Rending Demon's chest shattered into pieces, revealing a severely festered wound.
