”How dare you venture here!?”
A thunderous voice came from above as a man in a white coat descended on the wind. His presence was overwhelming. It almost drew away the air in the area that Mo Fan and Bei Jiang were fighting in, turning it into a vacuum.
As the pressure was withdrawn, the air further away began to fill up the area rapidly, resulting in a great storm!
”A Super Mage!” Mo Fan lifted his gaze and fixed his eyes on the man in a white coat.
Bei Jiang was in the dark swamp, and was aware of the Super Mage's presence, too. The storm continued to shrink, limiting the space that Mo Fan and Bei Jiang could move in.
”Consider yourself lucky!” Bei Jiang laughed mockingly.
The black swamp slowly disappeared. The vacuum storm had suppressed the darkness, but when Mo Fan was planning to use the chance provided by the vacuum storm to take Bei Jiang out, the assassin's presence suddenly vanished.
The dark swamp had covered the entire plaza. Bei Jiang had disappeared without a trace amid the vacuum storm. The Super Wind Mage in a white coat noticed it too. He stopped the storm from shrinking any further.
Mo Fan did not stand a chance against the Super Spell. He immediately told the Super Mage who he was.
The Mage in a white coat entered the storm and repeated, ”You're Mo Fan, the guy on the national team?”
”Here is my badge, the other guy was an assassin!” Mo Fan briefly told the Super Mage what had happened.
The Super Mage knew the badge could not be a forgery. The others of the Magic Association also saw Mo Fan save the kid who had fallen off the tower before fighting a man in a black robe.
”The assassin is trying to kill an Elder of the Enforcement Union. I don't have much time to explain the details to you. I'm afraid he's going after the Elder,” Mo Fan said.
Even a Super Mage had failed to stop Bei Jiang from running away. It explained why the assassin was bold enough to attack Mo Fan in front of the Magic Association. It would be troublesome if they allowed someone like Bei Jiang to escape.
”I'm coming with you!” the Super Wind Mage said.
Feng Zhoulong summoned his Wind Wings and headed straight for the house that Leng Qing was hiding in, together with Mo Fan.

Inside the house, a rotting smell lingered in the air. Xiao Ping was so scared that she did not even dare to open the windows.
The people left in the unit were Xiao Ping; Lingling; Leng Qing, who was lying on the bed; and Little Flame Belle, who was lying beside Lingling. Xiao Ping was feeling very insecure.
”I'll go get some food,” Xiao Ping said.
She went to the kitchen. An old light bulb was hanging above her. It swayed slightly as she entered the kitchen. Its light projected a tiny shadow under Xiao Ping's feet.
Xiao Ping was preparing some simple food. She was tensed and spooked, yet she did not notice the shadow under her feet moving eerily, like an evil phantom. It was silently climbing her back...
”Ling!~”
Little Flame Belle suddenly opened her eyes. She stared towards the kitchen.
Following a groan, a slender figure fell to the floor in the kitchen. Fresh blood started pouring out from the body and flowed into the next room.
Lingling's eyes widened. She was struggling to believe Xiao Ping, an Enforcer, could die so easily, like an ordinary girl.
”Ling~!”
Little Flame Belle unleashed the flames of Ardent Sunset when she sensed danger approaching. The flames rose and spread across the ceiling.
The blazing flames immediately drove away the shadow moving behind Lingling, and the black claw that was reaching out from under Leng Qing's bed!
The flames had driven away the darkness and defended them from its attacks for the time being. Lingling was surrounded by the heat of the scorching flames, yet she was still breaking out in a cold sweat.
There was really an assassin who could kill without making a single noise in this world!
”Pendant of Protection!”
Lingling knew her sister was in danger. She jumped onto Leng Qing's chest and clutched a charm she was wearing firmly.
The charm glowed with a yellow light. A barrier with the appearance of a honeycomb surrounded them completely.
