Chapter 2366 - Leader Of The Brown Rebels
Translated by XephiZ
Edited by Aelryinth
The leader of the Brown Rebels was oddly calm, mainly because he was confident in his strength.
He had seen how Mo Fan killed Wu Ku, but he was still confident he could kill Mo Fan on the spot!
"Do you think I've used up all my energy?" Mo Fan stepped forward.
"It doesn't matter, you are no match for me even if you are at your peak! Not many Mages from South America can beat me. Why else do you think I had the guts to plan this coup!?" The leader of the Brown Rebels suddenly unleashed his Aura.
He was not using any magic, but his Aura surged at Mo Fan like a wild storm.
Mo Fan could not step forward any further. The man was obviously stronger than White Leopard.
However, it was not a strong enough reason for Mo Fan to surrender himself. Lightning burst out of his body like purple dragons. The lightning arcs combined and soared to a height of a hundred meters, establishing an Aura that resisted the leader of the Brown Rebels!
Mo Fan retained his form as the King of Hell. His appearance was even more imperious as the lightning dragons danced around him!
"Second-tier Super Lightning Element with a Super Power... Mm? The Blessing of the God's Seal..." The eyes of the Brown Rebels' leader glittered.
He was inspecting Mo Fan carefully. To his surprise, the young man's Lightning Element was no weaker than his extraordinary flames!
A third-tier Super Lightning Mage would not have any advantage over Mo Fan! "Interesting!" the leader of the Brown Rebels exclaimed.
Mo Fan was fearless, wrapped in both lightning and fire! He was more than willing to fight until the very end!

Loud roars suddenly came from the east. The leader of the Brown Rebels was already drawing Star Patterns under his feet at insane speed to form Star Constellations and a Star Palace, but he frowned as soon as he heard the roars.
Mo Fan looked in the direction of the sounds and noticed almost half of the Eagle Horse Skyriders had survived. They had broken free from the surrounding troops and were joining a larger army in the distance.
He was overjoyed. Mu Bai had finally taken care of the Venomous Insect Shamans!
The Federation Army was pressing forward to regroup with the Eagle Horse Skyriders. It meant the Brown Rebels now had a grave decision to make!
Either they stayed around to fight the Federation Army to their deaths, or they immediately retreated to the west of the Scorching River to defend Half-Ridge Mountain City!
"I know who you are. Humph, once I establish order in my territory, I will find you! When the time comes, you won't have a second option!" the leader of the Brown Rebels declared, pointing at Mo Fan.
"I'm not the same. I'll spare your life because of your sister," Mo Fan replied lightly.
His name was Nanzo, the leader of the Brown Rebels, who led the army that had attacked Banlo City!
Mo Fan was wary of the guy's outstanding strength. He was ready to make a run for it if the guy insisted on fighting him.
He was not out of his mind enough to want to fight the leader of the Brown Rebels. He had already taken care of Wu Ku. He could not care less what the other Rebels were up to!
To his pleasant surprise, the Federation Army had arrived right on time!
------
Nanzo returned to his camp. He had once had three generals whom he was close to fighting for him, but now he only had his sister Sharjah left.
Besides, Sharjah was an odd one, too.
If she was fighting for her life, the things she could Summon from her dark book could easily crush White Leopard.
However, she would be fighting at the cost of her lifespan.
"Sharjah, what do you think?" Nanzo asked her.
It sounded more like he was asking himself the question, rather than seeking advice.
"The Heavenly Sensei you invited was acting strangely from the beginning. If he's really from the Black Vatican, you weren't planning a coup. You were going against the world," Sharjah said calmly.
Nanzon exhaled heavily.
He was clinging onto a slight glimpse of hope, but he should have expected someone would come to take out the Black Vatican simply because of how horrid their reputation was. He just did not expect someone to be determined enough to cross the entire battlefield to take Wu Ku down!
"Let's retreat to Half-Ridge Mountain City. I don't want you to die here," Sharjah added.
"We were so close! Perhaps I shouldn't have taken White Leopard's suggestion. The Heavenly Sensei might have given many people courage to join the war, but they were still a sheet of loose sand in the end," Nanzo sighed.
The two siblings fell silent for a moment. The battle outside had already escalated. Nanzo had to decide whether they were going to retreat or keep fighting.
"By the way, where are White Leopard's brush and palette?" Nanzo suddenly recalled something.
"Teacher took them."
"Why didn't you stop him?" Nanzo yelled at her.
Sharjah blinked. It was totally reasonable for her teacher to claim the loot after winning his duel.
Nanzo's head hurt.
White Leopard's reputation had mainly came from his brush and palette. Nanzo could easily train another powerful Ice Mage to help him out by using the two valuable artifacts.
Nanzo seriously wondered if his sister would help the enemy count the loot after their camp was raided!
"You should go, you have slain many generals of the Federation Army for me. I don't want you to be blacklisted," Nanzo waved his hand.
"I don't want you to die," Sharjah persisted.
"Your brother isn't that weak. I'll send out the order for our men to retreat to Half-Ridge Mountain City," Nanzo finally agreed.
Sharjah nodded once he had agreed.

The Brown Rebels began to retreat. The water in the lake had dried up. Its bottom was full of ravines, but the Brown Rebels were able to retreat swiftly using their Wind Warships.
By the time the Federation Army reached the Scorching River and eliminated or took captive the remaining troops, the Battle of Banlo City came to an end.
However, Half-Ridge Mountain City was still the Brown Rebels' main base.
Half-Ridge Mountain City had the resources to grow as a country on its own after the discovery of the ore vein of Lightning Pentagons. It would develop and grow rapidly in the near future.
They could no longer threaten the Federation after losing Banlo City, but it would take more than a few expeditions to defeat the Brown Rebels, too!
The woods around the Scorching River were littered with corpses. Swamp crows circling in the sky came down to feed on them before the Federation Army could clean up the mess.
Fresh blood shed in the war had turned brown and black. Dried blood stains were everywhere between Banlo City and the Scorching River.
------
Mo Fan went right back to Banlo City. He fell down along the street as soon as he went into the city, as he was long overwhelmed by fatigue.
Zhao Manyan ran up to Mo Fan and blurted out, "How was it?! Did you kill Wu Ku?!"
Mo Fan was struggling to speak properly. "His remains are in that bag," he got out.
Zhao Manyan opened the bag and saw the scorched remains inside it. "It's him!" He was somehow able to recognize Wu Ku.
Mu Bai came a little later, all wrapped up in blood-soaked bandages. He had had a tough battle with the Venomous Insect Shamans.
"Mu Bai, these are for you.." Mo Fan took out two things from his Space Bracelet.
