Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

"I'll deal with the fleshy corpse ministers. You clear out these corpse generals on the outside. Remember to release your skeleton soldiers when they're down to their last sliver of health. They're a great tonic!" Xu Fang instructed.

Liu Ru's eyes lit up immediately.

A powerful tonic?

I won’t feel sleepy anymore if you say this!

"Go away!"

Xu Fang released her, and with a collective explosion that broke through Liu Ru's defenses, he threw her onto a mound covered with undead. Liu Ru looked like a duck thrown into a crocodile pond.

—Although this duck was ridiculously strong, before the person even landed, its purple claws had already cleaved open the skull of an undead.

······

"Water bloom canopy!"

Within the black fog of corpses, Xu Fang's Water Radiance Guardian cascaded down like a waterfall, striking all of the dozen or so tentacles of the fleshy corpse minister against it, unable to touch Xu Fang in mid-air.

Xu Fang stopped behind the Water Splendor Sky Curtain, his sonic magic surging, instantly outlining the shape of the fleshy corpse minister.

It was a fat, obese corpse, and its appearance was quite striking even among the undead.

It resembled a deformed human being magnified several times over, extremely obese, with a greasy, bulging belly taking up two-thirds of its entire body.

The skull was covered with bumps and tumors, with layers of flesh overlapping each other.

Where limbs should have grown, fleshy tentacles extending from the flesh have replaced them, and their contractions can make people vomit their breakfast out of disgust.

"Damn it, you're so ugly and you still dare to scare people. Grandpa will send you to the afterlife!"

Xu Fang began to draw constellations. A crimson light flashed in his eyes, and in an instant, light rained down, sprinkling above the black corpse mist.

Eclipse-like fluff!

The wisps of light danced in the air, enveloping the bloated corpse of the fleshy corpse minister, as if it were wearing a gorgeous new coat.

Sizzle sizzle...

The corpse oil bubbled and black vapor rose, turning into corpse mist which was then purified by the light.

A broken object, shimmering with an eerie light, floated up and was collected by Xu Fang into the necromancer vessel.

"Cool!"

The two high-level beings were indeed extraordinary, especially the water element. With the blessing of the Soul Seed Whale Fall, the fleshy corpse ministers at the commander level were simply unbreakable.

Combined with light and fire magic, even the undead next door would be drooling with envy!

With a flap of his wolf wings, Xu Fang flew towards Liu Ru's direction.

At this moment, if you didn't look at Liu Ru, no one would ever imagine that she was the delicate little flower blooming on the old streets of Shanghai.

She was wearing a fitted leather coat, which had just been torn open by an undead attack, making her look even more alluring than before.

Such a good choice of location! Judging from the undead's big belly, he was probably a fat otaku when he was alive!

Outside Liu Ru's perimeter, several skeleton soldiers fought tirelessly and fearlessly, their bodies covered with parts assembled from who-knows-where.

"Ow!"

A venomous zombie tried to kill Liu Ru by spewing poisonous mist, but was torn to pieces by her purple claws!

puff!

Liu Ru pierced its head and crushed the undead crystal inside.

"Ugh... That's disgusting."

Liu Ru looked at her hands with disgust, then caught a glimpse of Xu Fang flying towards her out of the corner of her eye. Her beautiful eyes lit up, and she raised her hands pitifully, saying, "My hands are dirty."

Xu Fang conjured a water ball, then added a light ball inside to heat it up, and it floated in front of Liu Ru.

After Liu Ru washed her hands, Xu Fang casually fed the hot water ball into the mouth of a dead person.

The undead's body trembled violently, and black smoke hissed and billowed from its mouth all the way down to its esophagus.

In the distance, a signal flare pierced the night sky.

"Let's go. The array master has completed the light-based exorcism array. Our mission is accomplished," Xu Fang said. "Let's go back to the ancient capital and find Mo Fan."

"Oh right, why isn't Mo Fan here?" Liu Ru noticed then.

In her mind, Mo Fan was poor and violent, so there was no reason for him to give up this mission.

"I asked him for a favor, and judging by the time, we should still be able to make it back in time." Xu Fang smiled happily.

Salam, it's my turn to make a move again!

The yellowish-brown rain curtain had begun to fade at some point.

······

At the same time, in the ancient capital.

"Grand Steward, are you really going yourself?" a rather young man in blue advised, "What if this is a trap set by the ancient capital? Perhaps it would be better if I..."

"Of course I know this could be a trap, but Lord Salan has been unwilling to contact us."

Grand Steward Mu He of Hujin said coldly, "Although the Frenzy Spring has consumed some of the Kun Well's water, our Nine Nether Dew is still too little. It simply cannot support the daytime all-out attack. If the news is true, and Mo Fan really does possess the Earthly Sacred Spring, we must seize it no matter what!"

Despite saying that, Mu He always felt uneasy.

Because this time, Lord Salan, who is always shrewd and resourceful, has changed the plans several times at the last minute. This time, without any warning, he moved the date of the "festival" forward by two days, and he couldn't even contact anyone.

Although everything seems to be going smoothly now, he always felt that his group was like a set of dominoes. It looked impressive, but if even one link in the chain went wrong, the whole thing would collapse!

"Go and scout around first, make sure there are no Imperial Guard mages around that kid," Mu He said cautiously.

"I'll take care of it right now," the man in blue said respectfully.

Mu He looked at her with satisfaction and nodded approvingly: "You truly are someone I have high hopes for. Rest assured, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. After the ceremony, I will praise and recommend you to Lord Salang!"

The man in blue was so respectful that he was almost terrified, and he bowed deeply.

"High Deacon, Blue Bat is at your service."

Chapter 239 Mu He is arrested, Salang escapes.

At the top of the museum, Mo Fan, wearing a large raincoat, stood under an eave.

Huang Mao told him that he would use the Holy Spring from the mud loach—or more accurately, the Earthly Holy Spring—as bait to catch a big Black Court fish.

Mo Fan was actually refusing.

But Huang Mao, the sixth brother, immediately started digging into his notebook. First, he used the two million he had just owed as leverage, and then he said with great remorse that the Di Sheng Quan originally did not belong to him, and that he should stop trying to take advantage of others and deny his debts.

"Little mudskipper, you've really put your father in a terrible situation," Mo Fan said, looking down and casually touching the black pendant on his chest.

The little mudskipper never let Mo Fan's words fall to the ground and make him look like an idiot; it buzzed twice to indicate that it had heard him.

"However, it's worth it to kill a Black Court fish!"

The big fish was even less patient than he had imagined, and a familiar voice rang out behind him.

"Mo Fan, it's been a long time. How is your father, Mo Jiaxing, doing these days?"

"Mu He!?" Mo Fan's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that the big fish Xu Fang was talking about was actually this person!

"It's me." Mu He did not hide his face.

In fact, when Salam decided to take a gamble and start the celebration ahead of schedule, he no longer needed to conceal his identity.

It's either death or becoming a human death god alongside Lord Salang!

He even watched Mo Fan's expression with great interest, and the shock he saw filled him with joy.

"Yellow Hair is right. It seems quite a few Black Court dogs died tonight, otherwise you wouldn't have shown up in person." Mo Fan, true to his name, quickly reacted and mocked.

Mu He's face immediately darkened.

He certainly didn't want to come, but tonight, in order to create turmoil in the ancient capital, a large number of Black Court members were exposed and were swiftly killed by the Inquisition.

What angered him most was that his capable blue-clad subordinates had somehow been exposed and died tragically at the hands of the Imperial Guard mages.

The only remaining Blue Bat, though loyal and resourceful, is too young and likely to be captured instead of taking the Holy Spring. Only I, the Tiger-Town Grand Steward, can personally take action!

"Hand over the Earthly Sacred Spring, and I might consider sparing your life," Mu He said coldly.

"If you tell us everything you know, we might consider sparing your life," a strange voice said.

Mu He suddenly turned around and was horrified to find several people dressed in purple mage robes surrounding him.

"A Guardian Mage? No, impossible! The Blue Bat clearly..."

His voice trailed off, disbelief in his eyes replaced by rage: "Blue Bat! She betrayed the Holy Church?"

"Do it."

The Imperial Guard mages didn't waste any words and surrounded him from all sides. There was even a healing mage in the group, making it difficult for Mu He to commit suicide.

"Ah!!!" Seeing himself trapped like a turtle in a jar, Mu He suddenly lunged at Mo Fan, intending to fight to the death to snatch a hostage!

However···

"You old bastard, your grandpa Mo Fan has reached a high level!" Mo Fan had a Thunder-Devouring Wolf Beast on his left, Little Flame Princess on his right, and a blazing fire constellation behind him.

Mu He: "???"

······

Xu Fang returned to the back of the North City Tower. Mu He had been controlled by the special magical artifacts of the Tribunal. There was not a single wound on his body, but his eyes were dazed and unfocused.

"As expected of the Grand Steward of Hujin, he's quite stubborn and won't say a word," Han Ji said. "He only cooperated after I used some underhanded tactics."

It's okay to be stubborn; the court will always find a way to make you talk.

"Things are worse than we thought," Han Ji said. "Our high-ranking officials in the ancient capital have been infiltrated by the Black Court. As expected, Salang will be the one to arrive. Based on our current intelligence, we can confirm she is a woman, but..."

"But what?" Xu Fang asked, puzzled.

Given Han Jin's decisive character in launching the "Guillotine Plan," how could he possibly be in such a dilemma now, when faced with a choice between the two options?

Both of them are dead.

"All dead?"
