Chapter 367 - The Chase
Panda Novel
Mo Fan and Tangyue were both Magicians with the Shadow Element.
They exchanged glances with one another, and quickly disappeared into the shadows as their enemy executed their next attack. They quickly moved toward the Swift Star Wolf, whose movements were restricted.
The enemy was clearly aware that the two were planning to rescue the Swift Star Wolf, and no longer conserved their energy. They immediately cast an Intermediate Plant Element Spell, summoning the Forest of Kun to surround the Swift Star Wolf, not giving it any chance to escape.
The enemy was very smart, trying to keep them occupied with the Plant Element without showing themselves. It was obvious that they were waiting for backup.
He had made the right decision, since Tangyue was an Advanced Magician. He would be defeated instantly if Tangyue knew his position.
Tangyue continued to move around using the Fleeing Shadow. She was clearly more adept than Mo Fan at using the spell. Her shadow could even split into two mirror images due to her outstanding speed.
The extra shadow quickly replaced Mo Fan’s shadow as she continued to distract the Magician in the Forest of Kun. As long as Tangyue did not show herself, the enemy would assume her shadows to be both her and Mo Fan.
Mo Fan had already escaped the boundary of the Forest of Kun. He used his will to sense the energy nearby and quickly located the Plant Element Magician.
Moving through the tall grass ahead, Mo Fan immediately saw a female intern of the Magic Court hiding in the undergrowth. Her hands were moving rapidly, with faint green glows circling them. Star Patterns and Nebulas rapidly appeared as she cast her Magic…
Mo Fan had to admit that the girl was clearly an expert. Her control of the Plant Element was significantly better than Mu Nujiao!
However, she was totally unaware of Mo Fan, who was closing on her using the Fleeing Shadow.
“You’ll be staying here!” Mo Fan’s figure slowly surfaced as the Nebula of the Shadow Element appeared under his feet.
“Who’s there!?” The female intern of the Magic Court was an expert indeed. As soon as Mo Fan finished drawing the Nebula, she had somehow sensed the presence of the Shadow Element!
“Xiao Longnu, I’m your Yi Zhiping!” Mo Fan uttered an evil laugh. [TL Note: A reference to the Chinese television drama]
A Giant Shadow Spike was summoned between Mo Fan’s fingers. As he uttered the laugh, the spike was already fired and pinned his target down without making a single noise.
“Shameless prick!” the female intern of the Magic Court snapped.
She quickly reacted by controlling the vines nearby to lock onto Mo Fan’s position.
The vines were just about to lunge at their target when she felt a chill piercing through her chest. The Magician immediately shuddered as she felt the cold, as if the spike had nailed right onto her soul. She could not even budge!
Normally, Spells that could impair the movement of their targets would only control their physical bodies, but the Giant Shadow Spike of the Shadow Element could even influence one’s mind. It was Mo Fan’s first time usingthe second-tier Giant Shadow Spike, and he never thought he would be using it on a girl in the wild.
Both her body and mind were entrapped. The girl could not even make any noise. If Mo Fan had the time, he would not mind mimicking the perverted actions of some character in Jinyong’s wuxia novel, but time was running rather short. He still had to serve the woman who had brought a Snake Boss along with her.
“Pretty girl, I’ll see you again when destiny calls,” teased Mo Fan. He quickly dissolved into the shadows and vanished.
The female intern of the Magic Court glared in Mo Fan’s direction. She could barely see his evil smirk in the dark.

Upon regrouping with Tangyue and the Swift Star Wolf, Mo Fan saw that she had already freed the beast from the vines.
“He’s injured. We have to continue the journey on foot,” said Tangyue as she pointed at the wounds on the Swift Star Wolf’s legs.
“That chick was pretty good. She managed to injure my Summoned beast,” said Mo Fan.
“Those who are chosen as interns of the Magic Court are doubtless experts of their Elements. You shouldn’t underestimate them,” advised Tangyue.
“Alright!” Mo Fan nodded.
Without the Swift Star Wolf, the two could only advance using Fleeing Shadow.
The area was overgrown with grass as tall as trees, with shadows obvious under the moonlight. As long as they had enough energy, they could easily use the shadows to move quickly.
Their shadows moved quickly through the bushes, as if they were cast by some birds flying hastily in the air.
To their surprise, a few pairs of wings were visible closing up on them from behind, roughly a kilometer away.
There was no chance they were fast enough to outrun those who could fly. Mo Fan could not help but wear a wry smile as he spoke, “Don’t tell me the big guy is asleep? Isn’t he aware of the Magicians with wings? I don’t think I can handle that level.”
“Don’t worry, they aren’t Advanced Magicians. It must be an intern of the Magic Court with Wing Equipment, and a Summoner with a flying beast,” said Tangyue.
Mo Fan did not feel relieved after hearing her explanation. An intern of the Magic Court owning a piece of Wind Equipment!?
Mo Fan clearly knew how expensive Wind Equipment was. It was rather impossible for anyone at the Intermediate Level to possess them. How formidable exactly was the intern’s background, to be given such luxurious Equipment at his current level?
In addition, most of the Summoned beasts that could fly would at least cost fifty million or more! As a Summoner, Mo Fan was well aware of the market prices. The Enforcement Union was clearly a place for crazy people. Someone could actually afford to buy a flying Summoned beast..
“It’s a Razor-Feathered Sparrow. It looks like it’s currently in the Advancing Period,” Tangyue stared at the creature reflecting the moonlight in the sky.
“Advancing Period of the Servant-class?” asked Mo Fan.
“What do you say?”
“…” Mo Fan felt like cursing. A group of interns already possessed such overwhelming strength. Luckily, they were able to avoid contact with the real members of the Magic Court with the Skyscraping Snake’s sharp senses. Otherwise, there was no way he could beat any of them with his current capabilities.
“Mo Fan, I’ve only achieved the Advanced Level recently, so I can only cast some of the Advanced Spells with a Star Atlas Book. I’ll handle the Razor-Feathered Sparrow and the three interns it’s carrying, and you’ll handle the guy with the Wing Equipment,” Tangyue said with a stern look.
“Sure thing, I hate rich pricks like him the most,” said Mo Fan.
An Intermediate Magician with Wind Equipment…
Mo Fan still could not accept it. People like him should be dragged to the ground and the crap beaten out of them!
