”Tsk tsk tsk, such a pity!” Bei Jiang exclaimed when he saw a Space Mage save the boy that had fallen off the tower.

The boy had almost reached the ground. The Mages that dove from the tower had no chance of catching up to him. The boy was going to turn into a bright red carpet if there was no Mage on the ground nearby. Bei Jiang would then be able to enjoy the cries of agony of his parents. It was indeed an enjoyable night!

Bei Jiang shook his head helplessly and left.

However, a familiar black fly slowly approached him. He was the only person that could see it. The fly was invisible to the others.

Bei Jiang's gaze sharpened. He immediately looked down from the height of a few hundred meters and placed his attention on the man that had used his Space Magic to save the kid.

Bei Jiang smiled again; it was as fake and terrifying as his previous one.

”Fancy finding the thing that I've searched for far and wide with sheer luck!” Bei Jiang murmured.

Bei Jiang jumped from the top of the Canton Tower and dove at the ground. He was like a black bat with its wings withdrawn, diving in the strong cold wind!

Screams were heard once again. The people did not expect another person to fall from the Canton Tower right after the boy. However, the person was obviously not falling helplessly. He was plunging right at the man that had saved the boy, like a glowing black sword!

”Kid, I bet you won't dare to climb up the rails next time. If I didn't happen to be passing by, your fat meat would have been stuck to the ground in a mess by now!” Mo Fan placed the kid on the ground.

The kid was recovering from his fright, but he fainted right away after hearing the words.

Mo Fan had no intention to waste his time on the kid. He left the kid on a bench in the square nearby.

Mo Fan felt a cold murderous intent coming from above. He was shocked when he sensed the dangerous presence approaching him rapidly. He immediately cast Blink to back away from it!

A cold dagger slammed onto the ground and left a hole in the plaza. Its cold aura spread into the surroundings.

Even though Mo Fan had managed to dodge the attack, he could still feel his blood running cold.

Was the assassin really that insane? It had been less than a minute since he used his spell, but the guy had appeared right before him. How did he do it?

Mo Fan was troubled by the thought. His heart shuddered when he looked at the assassin in a black windbreaker. Mo Fan finally understood why Xiao Ping was so scared, as he was having the same feeling too!

”Bring me to the woman, and perhaps I'll spare your life,” Bei Jiang stood in front of Mo Fan, radiating a demonic aura.

”So you're the assassin?” Mo Fan asked.

”I am Bei Jiang,” Bei Jiang declared with a proud look in his hollow eyes.

”This is the territory of the Nanguo Magic Association. Are you sure you want to start a fight here?” Mo Fan smirked when he saw a few Mages gathering around them.

”Do you think I'm worried about them? I don't like to repeat myself. I'm only asking you to bring me to her to save me some time. The truth is, I can already find where she is,” Bei Jiang was very confident in his capabilities. He did not mind sharing it with Mo Fan.

”You will have to get over my dead body if you want to do anything to her!” Mo Fan had no intention to back away now that he had stumbled into the assassin. His aura shifted as he turned grim.

”There are always idiots like you who make the wrong choice when it's a matter of life and death!” Bei Jiang sneered.

Bei Jiang made his move. He seemed to have completely disregarded the magnificent Canton Tower behind him. There were a lot of experts stationed at the Nanguo Magic Association, yet he was treating them as mere decorations!

The man suddenly disappeared from under the colorful lights of the tower. Mo Fan could not even see where he was, as if he had completely vanished into thin air.

Mo Fan tried to locate the man with his Shadow Element, yet he discovered unusual energy ripples in eight different spots, preventing him from tracking the man down.

A black ray suddenly came down at Mo Fan like an icy sword. Mo Fan raised his head and saw a pair of black pupils with an intimidating glow, like those of a poisonous snake. The stare stopped him from moving as if he had been paralyzed.

The black icy sword moved closer, yet Mo Fan was unable to move. It felt similar to when he was bound by the stare of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus. He could not even use Blink!
