Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 118 Killing Lu Nian, Murder and Looting!
A thunderbolt struck, and the light shield shattered instantly.

Lu Nian was shocked. His defensive magic tool could withstand an attack from a commander-level creature, so how could it break so easily?

But given the current situation, he doesn't have time to think too much.

Without any hesitation, Lu Nian abandoned Jiang Yi and his subordinates and fled alone.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes and waved his arm.

On the ground where the dead roamed, from among the unrecognizable corpses torn into countless pieces, several spatial rings flew out.

Having taken the shattered space ring from the military mage, Lu Ran ordered all the undead to stop.

Of the dozen or so people Lu Nian brought, only Jiang Yi and three others survived, but they were all seriously injured and barely hanging on to their deaths.

Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan, and the others were completely bewildered, never expecting the situation to turn out this way.

Who exactly committed murder and stole the treasure?

They even want to use Lu Ran as a guinea pig for experiments. You dare to even think about it, Ran-ge?

"Ran, Brother Ran, this old dog is trying to escape. Shouldn't we chase after him?" Mo Fan asked anxiously as he watched Lu Nian run away.

Lu Nian can't run away!
He was also born with dual elements. Lu Ran was so strong that Lu Nian couldn't handle Brother Ran, but he himself was only at the mid-level cultivation.

What if Lu Nian sets his sights on Da Mo Fan later? Wouldn't he be in big trouble?!
Lu Nian must die!
Lu Ran glanced at Mo Fan, taking in his panicked expression, and jokingly asked, "Why don't you go after him? I'll give you a chance to show off, since he's injured anyway."

Mo Fan chuckled sheepishly and waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, don't pursue a cornered enemy."

"Are you kidding me? Even injured, he's still a high-level mage. How could he possibly defeat him?"
Lu Ran shook his head and chuckled, "Don't worry, I've already locked onto him. Lu Nian can't escape."

Lu Ran turned his gaze to Jiang Yi and the others, who were too exhausted to fight any longer, and instructed, "Tie them up; they're still useful."

After saying that, in front of everyone, Lu Ran transformed into a shadow and disappeared from the spot.

"Damn it, damn it! Lu Ran is clearly just a student. Even if he has advanced to a higher level, he shouldn't have this kind of strength. Where did things go wrong?"

"Necromantic, water, lightning, spatial, and mental elements—he has five elements! How is that possible?"

Lu Nian spread his wings of wind and sped away through the sky, reviewing the events with a cold expression.

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. Lu Ran was clearly only at the high-level cultivation level, yet he had used five different magic systems!
Lu Ran is even more devilish than a devil!

"This kid named Lu Ran is suspicious. He must have a secret! We need to get back to him." Lu Nian's face was gloomy, and he felt extremely jealous and resentful towards Lu Ran.

Lu Ran not only destroyed his demonic experiment, but also killed all the men he brought with him. This is an irreconcilable feud!
"Look back?"

"You have no chance!"

Above the sky, Lu Ran's voice boomed like thunder in Lu Nian's ears.

Lu Nian turned around abruptly, his eyes quickly turning brown.

"Eye of the Rock Demon!"

In the sky, countless azure clouds turned into rocks and plummeted from the heavens.

But Lu Ran was nowhere to be seen!
"Psychic magic? No, spatial magic too?! How is that possible?!"

Before Lu Nian could react, dozens of water spears came at him from all directions, startling him into jumping up and down and dodging repeatedly.

What surprised him even more was that a spatial barrier had appeared around him at some point!
It was as if Lu Ran had known all along that he was going to run away.

Another massive wave swept in from the horizon.

This time, Lu Nian had no way to avoid it and was forced to land.

"Monster, who exactly are you?!" Lu Nian's face was contorted with rage as he stammered, veins bulging.

But he couldn't find Lu Ran anywhere and could only roar helplessly.

Lu Ran transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly appearing beside Lu Nian. He then conjured a giant spatial palm, slamming Lu Nian to the ground. Lu Nian landed face-first in the mud, blood trickling from his mouth, utterly incredulous.

How could he be suppressed by a college student?
Recalling the scene of his subordinates being torn apart by the undead, Lu Nian knew that this was a ruthless killer.

Lu Nian shouted in a panic:

"No, please don't kill me! Spare my life, and I can give you a large sum of cultivation resources!"

Lu Ran laughed, amused:
"If I kill you, wouldn't it all be mine anyway?"

Lu Nian was stunned. He looked up at Lu Ran blankly and met his deep gaze. He couldn't help but shiver.

This kid is even more ruthless than he imagined!
Since he really wanted to kill and steal the treasure.

No, he can't die here yet.

"No, I know many secrets, secrets about those big shots."

Including high-ranking figures like Dean Song He, and even members of parliament, you must be curious about Luo Mian, the councilor stationed in Hangzhou—he has many unspeakable secrets!!!

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes. What a coincidence.

Song He and Luo Mian are both people Lu Ran is determined to kill!
However, it doesn't require such a complicated process to bring them down.

"Oh? Then tell me about Dean Songhe, I'm really curious about him."

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes, and the recording device in his arms was quietly turned on once again.

Lu Nian had no doubts and saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

At this moment, he was no longer afraid of offending Songhe. As long as he could live and escape, what did it matter if he lingered on his life?
"Songhe, it was Songhe who revealed to me the location of your training."

"Do you have any evidence?" Lu Ran pressed.

"Have!"

Lu Nian answered directly, but then hesitated.

He did record the conversation beforehand, hiding it in the military mage's badge, but he certainly couldn't hand it over to Lu Ran so easily; it was his life-saving item!

Lu Ran's eyes flashed. With his mental cultivation at the peak of the middle level, he could hear Lu Nian's thoughts after he had defeated Lu Nian's mind.

The next moment, Lu Ran directly snatched the spatial artifact from Lu Nian's body and probed into it with his spiritual power.

Upon seeing this, Lu Nian thought to himself, "This is bad."

He thought of Lu Ran, and even cultivated the mind-based system!
Without his deliberate effort, his thoughts were inevitably overheard!

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes. Lu Nian's spatial artifact contained a large amount of cultivation resources. This guy had hoarded quite a few; it seemed he had embezzled quite a bit!

Soon, Lu Ran found all sorts of badges, and finally settled on the most prestigious one: the Military Intelligence Bureau badge.

After some decoding, they were able to understand the recording perfectly.

Seeing this, Lu Nian's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile and said with a wry grin:
"You've obtained the evidence, can you please let me go?"

Lu Ran smiled and said:

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to help you find liberation?"

Lu Nian's smile froze, and he wanted to escape desperately the next moment, but Lu Ran was faster and far more ruthless than him!
Countless black ribbons of water rapidly emerged from Lu Ran's back and lower limbs, instantly wrapping around Lu Nian and enveloping him.

"What, what is this thing? No, no?!"

Lu Nian screamed miserably, but was swallowed up in an instant, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
