The flames filled the sky and shattered the giant mouth of the centipede made of poisonous insects. The flames even devoured the Sandstorm Demon Locusts in the distance. Countless poisonous insects and demon locusts were burned into ashes by the wild flames spreading kilometers away!
The streets and the roofs were covered in soot. Mo Fan soared into the cloudy sky like an eagle declaring its territory the moment it spread its wings!
Shi Qianshou hid among the insects. They were his weapon and his armor, but half of them had already been killed by Mo Fan's raging flames. He needed a significant time to Summon them back, and most importantly, he would need to expend a significant amount of energy!
Shi Qianshou's body was a little scorched from the heat. He landed on the street that was covered in debris, nervous now. The remaining poisonous insects flew around him uneasily while buzzing annoyingly.
Mo Fan descended from the sky and landed on the street too.
Mo Fan laughed when he saw Shi Qianshou was injured. ”Take a look at yourself, you are like a pile of manure circled by flies. Mmm, a disgusting pile of manure! You should just build a latrine pit and trap yourself inside it, so you can enjoy the rotten smell coming out of your bones and soul together with your insects!”
Shi Qianshou's face twisted. He was a General, the future mayor of a city. Everyone was going to circle him, just like his insects. His power, his authority, his influence were nothing close to what Mo Fan had described!
”An imbecile like you will never understand. You will never match the contributions I've made in the west, even in a few lifetimes. The higher-ups are riding roughshod over us while we expand their territories. However, they didn't bother leaving our names on the booming lands!” Shi Qianshou said with a twisted look.
”Do you really think the people are going to live peacefully in a city built on top of countless corpses?” Mo Fan said disdainfully.
”Isn't every city the same?”
”Forget it, I'm more used to beating the crap out of a maniac than trying to talk some sense into them!”
”Says an Advanced Mage like you?”
”I've defeated those that were ten thousand times stronger than you! And besides, I really hate bugs!” Mo Fan did not waste any more of his time with Shi Qianshou. The two flames intertwined on his right hand, and gradually formed a sword of the Fire Calamity and Ardent Sunset!
The sword was engulfed in the two different flames. A ring of flame was circling around the enormous sword. Mo Fan could feel that the fiery sword was more than twice as heavy as it used to be. Most importantly, the sword felt very solid. It was no longer just a body of energy, but a real sword of fire!
Little Flame Belle was getting stronger. Even the sword she Summoned felt similar to a real magic Weapon. It was definitely perfect for Mo Fan, who was a fan of violence!
He lifted his gaze to the ten-plus meter long fiery sword. Mo Fan believed it was necessary to change his habits. He should not keep throwing punches at someone's face. He should act more gentlemanly, like a high-spirited swordsman that sliced things in half decisively and beheaded a jerk among scum like Shi Qianshou!
The Double-Flaming Fiery Sword slashed forward with a huge explosion. The entire street was filled with the destructive flames. The sword went right after Shi Qianshou, who was trying his best to back away. The buildings on both sides of the street collapsed to the ground. The street had survived the invasion of the Sandstorm Demon Locusts, yet it was razed to the ground by Mo Fan!
The sword was still intact, but it was too heavy for a single hand. Mo Fan held it with both hands and chased after Shi Qianshou. When he saw the man hiding behind a building, he brought the sword down heavily, despite the building that was in the way!
The flames spread rapidly from the sword. Shi Qianshou initially thought Mo Fan was going to stab, pierce, and slash with the sword, but the man had no clue how to use a sword at all. He was slamming it down like a hammer!
Shi Qianshou could easily dodge slashes of the fiery sword, since he could fly around with the help of the poisonous insects, but the heavy slams with a huge area of effect were giving him a huge headache. The rolling flames from each impact would burn some of his insects to death. Without the insects, his strength was going to decline significantly!
He could not help but admit that the Advanced Mage was a lot stronger than he had thought with the two Soul-grade Fires and the Fire Spirit Possessing him. Even his poisonous insects were greatly suppressed by the fires!
There were different ways of using the Poison Element. Breeding a huge number of poisonous insects was only one of them. It had abandoned the traditional way of casting Poison Spells, since the poisonous insects could be used both defensively and offensively. He could also transform the poisonous insects into creatures of different forms, similar to a Summoner. Usually, a Poison Mage using this method would be a lot stronger than a normal Poison Mage since they could do a lot more things in a fight. The only downside was that if they relied too much on the poisonous insects, they would find themselves at a huge disadvantage when facing someone like Mo Fan, whose fire was the poisonous insects' nemesis!
Another kind of Poison Mages purely used the Poison Element to attack, harass, and torture their opponents. Shi Qianshou now wished that he was that kind, since he could easily corrode Mo Fan's body away with a single Super Poison Spell!
However, the magic Armor that Mo Fan was wearing was a nuisance to deal with, too! It had absorbed all the poison that Shi Qianshou had unleashed. He could not help but wonder where the young man had gotten such a remarkable treasure from!
”Die!” Mo Fan detested the insects!
He slashed out, sending waves of flames surging at Shi Qianshou.
Shi Qianshou quickly backed away, controlling the poisonous insects to form a wall to stop the flames from hurting him.
The wasps were dying at an incredible pace. The flames were like starving wolves pouncing at the insects. They stood no chance against the flames of the Ardent Sunset!
