Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Southwest China, within a certain section of the border.

In the mountain valley, two night watchmen lay prone on the hillside, holding binoculars, watching a jeep kicking up dust on the rugged mountain road in the distance.

"How long until the support arrives?" one of the younger field agents asked.

"I estimate it will take about another minute," the middle-aged field clerk said, glancing at the time.

"One minute? In one minute these bastards would have crossed the border, my ass." The young field agent was clearly a little impatient, opening the black briefcase beside him as he said, "Coming and going as you please? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

The suitcase contained a grenade launcher and six .35 caliber high-explosive grenades.

"Are you crazy? Don't you know what it means to stay put?" The middle-aged field operative grabbed the younger one's arm. "There are four or five mages in the car!"

"So what if he's a mage? I don't believe a mage can take a high-explosive grenade with his face." The young field operative broke free from the middle-aged operative's hand and loaded the grenades one by one. "Frontline field operatives have the right to act expediently. We can't just stand by and watch them cross the border, can we? Didn't they say there's some kind of Netherworld B-level assassin team inside? Besides their target, they've also taken the lives of three Chinese people. How can we let them leave the country?"

Seeing that the young field agent was determined to take action, the middle-aged field agent stopped trying to stop him and silently loaded the automatic rifle in his arms: "Let's make it clear first, our main goal is to delay them. You can fire when they turn the next bend. No matter what the outcome, we'll run away after we've shot them."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." The young field operative leaned forward slightly, steadied the grenade launcher, took a deep breath, and then aimed.

There were five people in the jeep at that moment, including the driver: four men and one woman, of various races.

The white woman sitting in the back seat stared intently through the car window at the hillside where the field crew was located, her eyes gleaming.

Upon seeing the young field scout peek out and aim, the white woman immediately reported to her superior: "They're about to make their move; it's a grenade launcher."

The middle-aged white man sitting in the passenger seat frowned slightly, then ordered, "Stop the grenades. We'll be out of Chinese territory soon. There's no need to cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Okay." The white woman nodded obediently.

Thump thump thump...

As the jeep approached the bend, a dull grenade launcher sounded on the hillside, and six high-explosive grenades arced through the air, anticipating the jeep's position and falling towards the bend.

The jeep seemed oblivious, continuing its journey. But before the high-explosive grenades could get close, several green vines suddenly stretched out from the rear of the vehicle, like dancing pythons, spurring all the high-explosive grenades away.

Boom boom boom boom...

High-explosive grenades exploded around the jeep, kicking up countless pebbles and dust. A series of crackling sounds came from the jeep's body, but there was no damage.

Suddenly, a storm of flames swept towards the mountaintop, scorching the rocks and burning the withered branches in its wake.

"Are you crazy!" The middle-aged white man in the passenger seat suddenly turned around, staring at a black man in the back seat: "Who gave you permission to do this! Killing a Chinese Night Watch field operative, damn it, if you want to be blacklisted, don't drag us into it!"

"What does it matter? Ordinary people dare to attack us, they'll definitely pay the price. Besides, we're about to cross the border." The black man shrugged. "Killing someone is such a hassle. I hate this country, it's too oppressive, I'll never come back."

The middle-aged white man laughed in anger at the black man: "I clearly told you to be extra careful about the range of your magic when you made your move, so as not to affect others, but you still killed three ordinary people. I clearly told you not to cause any trouble, but you still insisted on making your move. Do you think this is your hometown, some godforsaken place? You remind me of a famous Chinese saying, 'Ignorance is bliss.'"

Although the Black man didn't quite understand the middle-aged white man's words, he knew the man was mocking him, so he angrily retorted, "You piece of shit, you're as cowardly as a mouse, you have no dignity as a mage!"

"Damn it, Youming is such an idiot now, letting any kind of moron in." The middle-aged white man cursed, then said menacingly to the black man, "This is your first and last time in my team. Because you disobeyed orders twice, you're not getting paid this time. We three will compensate you. No objections, right?"

The white woman and the last Asian youth naturally had no objections, but the Black man was furious: "Why! This is discrimination!"

"I'm discriminating against your mother!" the middle-aged white man roared. "If the situation weren't so inappropriate, I'd kill you right now! You black...

Before he could even finish his sentence, the middle-aged white man's angry expression suddenly froze on his face, then seamlessly transitioned into terror: "What is this life force? Is it extraordinary? How can it be extraordinary? Fuck! Did we kill the king's son?"

Before anyone else could react, the middle-aged white man grabbed the driver by the collar: "Full speed!"

"The road conditions are bad; if we drive any faster, we'll overturn..."

The middle-aged white man roared, "Full speed!"

Helpless, the driver gritted his teeth and stomped on the accelerator, sending the jeep lurching forward.

But in his perception, that blazing flame of life was still rapidly approaching.

"Fuck!" Seeing that he couldn't shake him off, the middle-aged white man cursed, but his initial panic subsided.

The other party could not possibly be extraordinary; otherwise, they would have been meeting their maker long before they even entered his life perception range.

Although the flame of life is burning brightly, as long as one is not extraordinary, there is still a chance.

The middle-aged white man glanced discreetly at his three teammates behind him. Perhaps, all he needed to do was run faster than them.

"What extraordinary?" the white woman behind him finally asked.

"Nothing much, a mage caught up from behind and attacked from the air."

As the middle-aged white man finished speaking, the three men behind him were startled and immediately took action.

Hurricanes howled, flames burned, lightning surged, and countless divine-grade spells raged in mid-air.

A frosty white figure pierced through the sea of ​​attacks, flashed a few times, and arrived above the jeep before suddenly plunging down.

boom!

The frost-white figure crashed into the middle of the jeep like a meteorite, and the entire vehicle split in two on the spot under the huge kinetic impact.

Four figures covered in a yellowish-brown sheen crashed through the car window and burst out, while the driver lay slumped on the deformed steering wheel, his face covered in blood, his fate unknown.

"Fuck!" The Asian youth had barely uttered a curse when he was sent flying by a heavy silver-white gun.

A flash of dark gold light appeared, and the black man's face still showed a trace of fear, but his head shot straight into the sky.

Suddenly, several thick vines sprouted from the ground, binding the frost-white figure tightly into a ball. Then, a small rocky hill fell from the sky, carrying a massive boulder that crashed down, flattening the vine ball.

The earthquake trembled. The still-shaken white woman swallowed hard, her voice trembling as she asked, "Is he dead?"

The middle-aged white man didn't answer a word and ran away.

In his perception, the other party's life flame didn't even flicker. What kind of monster is this!

boom!

The rocky mountain burst open, and golden light shone through. The white woman only saw a pair of golden eyes for a moment before her vision was filled with a fist forged from ice, and then her world was plunged into darkness.

"Fuck! Fuck!" the middle-aged white man cursed as he ran, wishing his parents had given him two more legs.

Faced with this monster, all of their four attack spells seemed to be ineffective.

Fortunately, the border was very close. Although he didn't know if he could survive if he crossed it, it was his only hope.

Suddenly, the middle-aged white man felt light, as if he were riding on clouds, and flew forward at high speed.

puff.

The middle-aged white man fell to the ground, stretching out his arm as if trying to touch the border.

Its legs struggled to climb and wriggle, but its body was firmly pinned to the ground, unable to move forward an inch.

A distance of just a few centimeters has become an insurmountable barrier.

The life force within his senses dissipated, the frost-white figure stood still, the armor cast by ice disappeared, revealing a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask.

All of this was observed by the field staff on the hillside, who were wearing vortex shields.

The man raised his left hand, pressed the earpiece in his ear, and said in a completely unwavering tone: "Identity verified, code name Owl 11, number 971022085. Mission complete. Request site cleanup. Request next mission assignment."
