Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 217 Intercepting Luo Mian

Luo Mian immediately transformed into several shadows and disappeared, his aura spreading out, making it impossible to distinguish which was real and which was fake under the cover of darkness.

Those various demons were completely blind. Although they were not afraid of the night, it did not mean they could catch sight of a high-level shadow mage in the dark.

The amplification effect of darkness on a shadow mage is greater than that of the ocean on a siren.

Out of caution, Wang Teng immediately stepped across space and arrived inside the Salon Roll, where a thick ball of yellow light was spinning and dancing in the center.

Apart from earth-based magical energy, there was not a trace of other elemental magical energy present here, as if this area had become a forbidden zone.

"Night's Reign ~ The Lost Black Mist!"

A massive black curtain, spanning a kilometer, descended, even exerting a restraining effect, causing the entire salon to come to a standstill.

However, it was impossible to penetrate the interior of the salon roll, as the entire salon roll was almost completely covered by a vast black curtain.

The scorching demonic power erupted suddenly, and the monarch-level and commander-level demons that were shrouded in it abruptly released their demonic power, causing the entire black curtain to shake violently. It only lasted for two or three breaths before collapsing.

Before this, Wang Teng's lips curled up slightly. He clearly felt a strong shadow teleporting over, wanting to take the Great Heavenly Seed in one go.

With lightning-fast reflexes, he raised his hand and stored the Great Heavenly Seed into his inner space.

Blocked from view by the barrier of the Salon Roll, Luo Mian rushed up with all his might and happily broke through the barrier, only to find that the inside was empty!

The smile on his face vanished instantly. He hadn't expected that after charging forward with such high spirits, disregarding the monarch and demons, he would find himself in this situation.

"Where is the Great Celestial Seed?"

Luo Mian's beard trembled, and for a moment his mind went blank. A huge yellow shadow leaped up from the ground and instantly appeared behind him.

In an instant, a heavy fist slammed into his back with unparalleled force.

Luo Mian was terrified, the imminent danger of death urging him to immediately use Shadow Escape and activate the armored demonic artifact within his body.

Boom!

A sonic boom with explosive force rippled outwards, and violent demonic power raged. Luo Mian finally managed to turn his body aside, but the demonic power and massive kinetic energy contained in that fist caused him excruciating pain in his internal organs, as if they were being torn apart.

The armored figure shot backwards towards the ground in the distance!

The sand was shaken into a large crater tens of meters wide, and Luo Mian, carried by the residual force, slid along the sand for over a hundred meters.

"Wow, that's impressive! You're such a skilled boxer, you even created a sonic boom!"

Wang Teng glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise. He hurriedly rushed towards where Luo Mian had landed, wondering if he would get gold coins. With such a strong attack, he probably wouldn't survive.

"Cough cough... Damn demon!" Luo Mian removed his armor and demonic tools, coughing up fragments of internal organs. His chest twisted and deformed; he had finally grown old.

The old man looked to be in great pain, but he still managed to use Shadow Cloak to escape the area.

After running for several kilometers, he finally emerged from the shadows, fell face-first to the ground, and shakily reached for something from his spatial bracelet.

puff~

A silver sword light flashed, and the arm with the spatial bracelet rose into the air, spinning as it flew away.

Luo Mian turned around in terror and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. The memories of his dead self attacked him again.

That was back when the Lingyin Trial Council was still in session. It seems that among the henchmen standing to the side at that time, there was a figure that resembled this person.

Another silver sword mark shot out from the longsword in the man's hand, so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

I could only barely make out a familiar body moving away from me. Oh, it was the head that flew off.

"Cause and effect are a cycle; what you do today will manifest today!"

"Death is not the end; the judgment you deserve will still come."

Wang Teng removed his longsword, reached out and grabbed at the void in front of him, capturing a soul—this was Luo Mian's soul.

As a super-level mage, even if his physical body dies, his soul will not be destroyed immediately. If he enters the Land of Death, he might even become a commander-level undead demon.

"Let me see where the stolen goods are!"

Wang Teng immediately probed Luo Mian's memories, but as he was merely a soul, he couldn't cause any trouble.

He quickly read the memories in the soul, especially those related to the stolen goods.

Unexpectedly, during his time on the run, he liquidated all his assets, converting them all into cash and depositing them in anonymous accounts, totaling over 10 billion yuan.

The rest are all precious resources, stored in the space bracelet.

"Luo Mian, a fugitive criminal, is guilty of heinous crimes and has a bounty of 20 billion."

"The arrests are complete, and the stolen goods have been confiscated!"

Wang Teng judged Luo Mian with satisfaction, adding a touch of ceremony, and then specially placed him into a vessel for the dead.

Now, if he goes back, he's guaranteed at least a deputy chief judge. If he breaks through to the next level and goes back, becoming a chief judge isn't impossible, although it might just be a title without real power, as he won't have any subordinate judges to manage.

The most urgent task is to transfer the funds from the anonymous account to his account, in case anything unexpected happens.

Anyway, going back will only take a short while.

Wang Teng retrieved Luo Mian's phone from his spatial bracelet, then picked up the severed hand and unlocked it with his fingerprint.

"Let's take it back, just in case we need it. No signal is a real hassle!"

The figure vanished, leaving only the fading sound of words.

A large group of demons rushed over, drawn by the scent...

Hundreds of meters ahead of the mountain range, Wang Teng's figure became visible under the increasingly thick darkness of the night, and then he walked confidently toward the tunnel entrance.

Not long after passing through the tunnel, he found a dark corner, took out Luo Mian's phone, and transferred money to the account he was using.

Fortunately, there are no limits in this world, and large transfers can be easily completed even on a mobile phone.

Before long, his account balance increased by 155 billion, bringing his total assets to a staggering 20 billion.

Drip, drop, drop...

A voice call invitation sounded on my phone via WeChat. The contact name was Tang Yue, so I answered it.

"Hey~ Did you rob a bank? How come you suddenly have so much money?" Tang Yue asked with a hint of surprise. This account belonged to her and contained her phone number.

Normally, she wouldn't even glance at transfers of a few hundred million, but with hundreds of billions at once, she had no choice but to inquire.

"I have good news for you. I accidentally caught Luo Mian in Australia. As for this money, I found it by chance. Thank you for nature's gift." Wang Teng's lips curled up.

"What?! Luo Mian has been captured! This is fantastic news!"

Tang Yue stood at the conference room door and suddenly exclaimed loudly, attracting a group of people who were about to leave work.

Because of the time difference, it was just getting dark in Songcheng.

A group of people quickly surrounded her, especially Hei Yu, whose eyes were practically shining as she looked at the person on the voice call, Wang Teng.
