Full-Time Mage: Double Return, Niu Ma Mo Fan

Chapter 127 Cornucopia

The Xuan Turtle appeared first, its shell as large as a mountain, with a ferocious and majestic dragon head standing tall in front of it!

Following closely behind was the Flame Sparrow, which burst forth from the sky.

Its outstretched wings resembled fiery clouds hanging from the sky, with a wingspan that almost covered a small section of the battlements!

The air seemed to be on fire, and those sharp, bird-like eyes looked down on all living beings with an innate arrogance and disdain.

As soon as the two beasts appeared, their extremely refined and powerful aura, far exceeding that of ordinary commanders, swept across the area like a tsunami!
The mages who stepped out of the city walls, whether mid-level or high-level, all gasped in astonishment!
This tangible pressure felt like an invisible boulder pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Even the Hunter King Du Xiao, upon turning around and witnessing this scene, couldn't help but shrink his pupils and exclaim in amazement, "Talented people emerge in every generation!"

He could clearly sense that the aura of these two giant beasts was even stronger than that of the commander-level contracted beasts he had painstakingly nurtured!

That's something he built up with a huge amount of resources!

"Tsk tsk tsk, they're really rich!" The demon man, who was standing at the front of the assembled idle mages as their captain, couldn't help but speak up.

Even if the Super-Rank mages don't intervene, the four or five high-Rank mages and the rest of the mid-Rank mages among the idle mages might not be able to defeat these two Commander-level contracted beasts.
This wasn't the demon man bragging; he genuinely sensed the terror of these two commander-level contracted beasts!

The overwhelming aura indicated that the opponent's level was likely already that of a Grand Commander. Even if he, with his Ice-type Soul Seed, encountered one alone, he would only be able to flee for his life.

In his view, there are only three levels of commanders: advanced commanders, grand commanders, and other commanders.

"Young Master Meng actually has such a contracted beast? He's been hiding it very well." Zhu Meng stroked his beard.

While feeling amazed, he grew angrier the more he thought about it. Why had he let Li Tian get there first? Now that Meng Qiuzhen was becoming more and more outstanding, he regretted it even more.
"Where did this kid come from? I've never heard of anyone named Meng Qiuzhen on the official list. Where did you two meet, Zhu Meng?" Military Commander Lu Xu asked.

"Ahem, there's nothing to say about that. Let's think about how to resolve the current crisis in the ancient capital. Hopefully, Meng boy can resolve the mental interference from the White Yin Ghost as he claims, otherwise..."

Zhu Meng didn't directly answer Lu Xu's question. Could he say that he was blasted away by the other party on their first meeting? Zhu Meng still had some pride.
"You two will follow this kid on this trip. If there's any danger, just run for your lives." Meng Qiuzhen pointed at Mo Fan with the two beasts.

Unlike the original story, there is no need for a Light Mage Corps to be present at this time.

Meng Qiuzhen strongly advocated a swift victory, saying that once the Ghost Tyrant was killed, they should return to the city.

Conserve as much strength as possible to prepare for the even more brutal battles to come.

The three proposals he made earlier were not immediately adopted by several super-level beings, but Zhu Meng has already sent people to work on them, and a decision will be made soon.

Meng Qiuzhen's demands are simple: harvest a batch of dead souls as nourishment for his primordial spirit, and seize the opportunity to control the ancient king as a tool.

Since the Holy Body granted him super-level combat power, he has been able to strive for many things that he could never have imagined.

"Roar!!!" The Xuan Turtle responded, working hard without complaint and rarely expressing its opinions. It would go wherever Meng Qiuzhen pointed.

Yan Que glanced at Mo Fan with disdain, feeling very unwilling, but she did not object to Meng Qiuzhen.

"Godfather!!" Mo Fan cried out in tears; if there hadn't been so many people around, he would have knelt down on the spot.

Looking across the entire ancient capital, Lao Meng was the one who cared about him the most, even sending him two bodyguards during such a large-scale war.
The four super-ranked beings were only responsible for boosting morale; these little undead were not worth wasting their magical energy on.

The group followed the procession at a distance, waiting for their turn to enter.

"Hiss! This bloodline is probably extraordinary!" Zhu Meng said with considerable shock as he surveyed the battlefield from afar.

The two beasts, acting as the vanguard of the mage squad, displayed tremendous power!

Even if a commander-level corpse minister tried to stop them, he would die under the claws of the Xuan Turtle. Not to mention the rest of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

[Ding! Two Commander-level remnant souls returned!]

[Ding! Two War General-level essences returned!]

[Ding! Two servant-level spirit essences returned!]

Before Meng Qiuzhen appeared, system messages kept popping up.

The water and fire beasts were incredibly powerful, and with Mo Fan as a double treasure trove, Meng Qiuzhen could practically just sit back and collect the money. Unfortunately, the stronger one's strength and the higher one's status, the heavier the responsibilities one had to bear. Ding Yumin also wanted to join the army and contribute, but Meng Qiuzhen wouldn't allow it, insisting on taking her along, saying there were more important things to do.

Seeing that the girl seemed somewhat distracted, Meng Qiuzhen took out the Soul-Sweeping Prism and said softly, "Later, we will work together to activate this demonic artifact to deal with those White Yin Ghosts."

Ding Yumin hummed in agreement, somewhat surprised by the magical artifact.

In her eyes, this might be a rare magical artifact used for mental attacks!

Meng Qiuzhen watched the battle for a while, and in the eyes of the others, the undead army was extremely fierce.

But in his eyes, the undead side didn't seem very strong. At least outside the North City, the Ghost Tyrant and the undead army he commanded weren't very powerful.

If it were a one-on-one duel without time limits, Meng Qiuzhen felt he could fight against tens of thousands of undead on his own.

After pondering for a moment, he made a decision and then approached Zhu Meng.

"You've decided to do this?!" Zhu Meng's eyes widened in shock at Meng Qiuzhen's last-minute change of heart.

"You said you're going to deal with the Ghost Tyrant alone? If you're just trying to lighten the mood with a joke..." Before Lu Xu could finish speaking...

Zhu Meng hurriedly interrupted him, pressing Meng Qiuzhen for an answer: "Are you sure you can succeed?"

This caused the other three Super-Tier beings to shift their attention from the battlefield to Zhu Meng. I wonder what he meant by saying that.
Is he hoping this young man can single-handedly kill the deposed emperor?

Even with the combined strength of the four of them at the highest level, it's still uncertain whether they can kill the Ghost Tyrant. And Meng Qiuzhen actually suggested that he go and kill him alone?!
The crucial point is that Zhu Meng actually believed it; Fei Jiao wanted to scold him for not being awake.

Ignoring the disbelieving looks from the others, Zhu Meng continued to stare intently at Meng Qiuzhen.

"Ninety percent, I guess." Meng Qiuzhen suggested to Zhu Meng, naturally quite confident, but he didn't make any absolute statements.

Since his primordial spirit advanced, his sacred body's strength has increased considerably.

More importantly, he can make full use of the Holy Body, and activating the Holy Body can now be used across all systems!

His current goal is to kill as many undead as possible to obtain their essence.

If he can slay the Ghost Tyrant, and then the four Super-Tier beings join the battle, his gains will be maximized.

“Great! Just tell me what you need, and I’ll do anything to clear the way for you!!!” Zhu Meng said excitedly.

Among the four super-level mages present, he clearly knew Meng Qiuzhen's combat strength, and Zhu Meng truly believed his assertion of confidence.

Meng Qiuzhen shook his head: "You only need to join the battle the moment the Ghost Tyrant falls, and deal with the undead with the least amount of magic power."

"Is this... possible? Zhu Meng, do you really think he can kill the deceased emperor?" Lu Xu asked, his face full of doubt.

Zhu Meng patted his chest, offered no further explanation, and confidently stated, "Just observe."

……

A massive, dark mass of rotting corpses clashed head-on with the assembled mage squad.

The sight of faces, corpses, and limbs filling the field of vision was truly chilling.

"Stand closer to me, I'll wipe them out in one go!" Mo Fan said, his voice tinged with anger.

“I’ll take care of the protection!” the short man said immediately.

The star map was drawn beneath Mo Fan's feet, its crimson color so striking that it was as if he were standing on a ring of intensely burning flames...

"Fire Fist!!"

"Nine Palaces!!"
