”Fire!” Mo Fan set himself on fire. It blew out around him in a ring.
The deadly flowers scattered across the place were burned into ashes after the flames touched them.
Mo Fan quickly left the woods with Mu Ningxue, but he soon realized she had been cut a few times. The vines must have hurt her while they were fleeing.
They were both injured from their battles before, and their injuries continued to increase. It went without saying that their injuries would weaken them significantly, and as they bled, they would become feebler, and would eventually lose consciousness if they did not rest up soon.
A strong wind started blowing. White gusts like terrifying whips attacked both of them fiercely. Mu Ningxue quickly managed to set up some ice chains to defend them from the wind whips.
Mo Fan raised his head and saw Zorro standing on higher ground with his arms folded across front of his chest, a smug look on his face.
He quickly glanced behind and saw Asha'ruiya catching up to them. He was convinced that the two had decided to disqualify him and Mu Ningxue first!
”It's the man with green seaweed hair. I'll deal with him while you take Asha'ruiya on,” Mo Fan knew the final battle had arrived. There was no running away now.
”Alright,” Mu Ningxue glanced at Asha'ruiya and began to spread her ice into her surroundings.
”She is a Summoner too! My Flying Creek Snow Wolf will lend you a hand,” Mo Fan stated.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was only able to unleash his full strength in Mu Ningxue's Ice Domain. Mo Fan was worried that Mu Ningxue would be unable to handle the cunning Asha'ruiya by herself.
”What about you?” Mu Ningxue was worried about Mo Fan's safety after he allocated the Flying Creek Snow Wolf to her.
Everyone was well aware of how strong Zorro was. They had failed to eliminate him when everyone was taking him on. How could Mo Fan possibly stand a chance against the man without the help of the Flying Creek Snow Wolf?
”Don't worry, I have an idea!” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan did not waste his time talking to Zorro. He used the remaining Calamity Fire from Little Flame Belle to form a pair of burning wings on his back!
The fiery feathers exploded, propelling Mo Fan into the air like a bullet engulfed in flames. He threw a punch where Zorro was standing. Scorching lava erupted with flames surging across the place. The whole area began to tremble!
”Every person that has dueled me has faced humiliation in the end. I thought you were too smart to do something so dumb, since you have made yourself a name so far in the tournament. It's really unnecessary to ruin it now!” Zorro nimbly moved away from where the lava was erupting.
Mo Fan was unable to fly. He soon landed on the ground, but he was promptly propelled back into the air by an explosion, springing at Zorro like a fiery dragon.
Zorro was unable to dodge the attack this time. He frowned and covered himself with the four white Wind Wings on his back, shielding him from the attack!
The fiery dragon that Mo Fan had transformed into rammed into Zorro's defense. Even though the Calamity Fire failed to touch Zorro's body, the impact knocked him higher in the air...
Zorro's balance faltered. His body kept spinning until he reached the highest point. He finally extended his wings to regain control of himself.
”A man with pure brute strength!” Zorro suddenly realized that he had lost two of his Wind Wings.
Zorro had four wings in total, and the single punch had destroyed two of them! The man was not resigned to the outcome, but his Chaos Element was unable to nullify physical damage inflicted on him. Mo Fan had somehow deduced the weakness of his Chaos Element. It was also why Mo Fan was using a different approach when attacking him!
Mo Fan landed on the ground and raised his head to look at Zorro. He grinned wildly and said, ”I like dueling people too! The only difference is, you are deemed to be stronger when you are up against more people because of your abilities, which means that you're going to be weaker when going against fewer people. As for me, my strength stays the same. If the opponent is weak, I can crush them with a single punch, but if the opponent is strong, I just need to throw a few more punches!”
”A destructive Mage like you has too many weaknesses. The Psychic Element can easily turn you into a useless man, and a defensive Mage could also nullify your attacks. As for my Chaos Element, it's the same as carrying a stone and stubbing your own foot! Meanwhile, my spells have high damage just like yours, and I can reflect your spells after strengthening them, too! Other people might have a chance against me, but that doesn't apply to you. You can't do anything to me, but I can wear you out with my wind and my insects!” Zorro slowly descended to the ground and faced Mo Fan.
”Green head, your ability to bluff people is actually a lot stronger than your strength. You almost convinced me there!” Mo Fan started drawing Star Patterns as he spoke.
Zorro was also adept enough at casting his spells that he could draw the Star Patterns while talking. However, his channeling speed was slightly slower this time. Mo Fan was the first to summon some black lightning to strike Zorro fiercely.
Zorro grinned when he sensed the lightning aiming at him.
”Chaos Vortex!”
A twisted surface appeared above Zorro. The wild energy of the lightning strike vanished as if it had been transferred to another plane!
”Back at you!” Zorro rotated the curved surface to reflect the spell like a mirror.
The lightning that vanished came out of the twisted surface, but it was now aiming at Mo Fan instead!
