The next day.
The sun was shining brightly.
Early in the morning, Lu Nian, whose eyes were bloodshot from not sleeping all night, saw Tang Yue, who looked radiant and juicy, leave the apartment.
Seeing Tang Yue's increasingly charming and beautiful appearance, Lu Nian knew that last night must have been anything but peaceful.
Clenching his teeth, Lu Nian reassured himself again: he had to endure, he had to deliver a fatal blow.
About an hour later, Mo Fan emerged looking refreshed and invigorated. Lu Nian even had the feeling that Mo Fan walked with a spring in his step, his face beaming with joy.
"You bastard, just keep showing off."
At this moment, Lu Nian wished he could rush out immediately and give Mo Fan a good thrashing. However, due to the pressure from the enormous black serpent, he suppressed this impulse.
After Mo Fan left, Lu Nian, covered in bags and smelling terrible, once again followed him'silently'. To Lu Nian's relief, Mo Fan didn't linger in Hangzhou but instead returned to Shanghai.
The point where Shanghai and Hangzhou meet is in a suburb.
Mo Fan got out of the car and headed towards the outskirts of the city. The reason he headed towards the outskirts was that Mo Fan was about to make his move!
Seeing that Mo Fan did not return to the city but instead headed towards the suburbs, Lu Nian, who was already planning to take action, was overjoyed.
Originally, he was worried that fighting in the city might lead to an attack by some powerful mages, but now... well, he obviously doesn't need to worry about that anymore.
The two arrived in the wilderness one after the other, each with their own thoughts.
At this moment, Mo Fan suddenly stopped.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Before Mo Fan could even put on an act, he heard loud, unrestrained laughter coming from behind him.
That's incredibly arrogant!
But this laughter finally made Mo Fan realize who this incredibly patient person was. He hadn't expected it to be Lu Nian!
"Mo Fan, long time no see." Lu Nian walked out, making no attempt to hide his large yellow teeth, and said with a loud laugh.
However, it was easy to see from his pimple-covered face that he wasn't happy at all; instead, he was filled with resentment, as if he wanted to tear Mo Fan to pieces.
"Oh, who do we have here? I didn't expect it to be you."
"???"
Looking at Mo Fan's calm demeanor, Lu Nian wondered if he had fallen into a trap.
Mo Fan looked at Lu Nian calmly, then said, "Lu Nian, how did you get yourself into such a mess?"
Upon hearing Mo Fan's words, all 'reason' vanished in an instant.
"Grass*/*//*/*//*!!!"
Lu Nian directly used his "beep beep beep" sound to give Mo Fan a good earwashing.
It's obvious this guy has a lot of temper.
Mo Fan didn't mind, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Lu Nian, to be honest, I'm quite grateful to you. If I hadn't run into you, you could still be living a good life. But now..."
After a pause, Mo Fan's expression instantly turned indifferent, and his voice lost its previous joking tone: "But you chose a dead end anyway, so you can't blame me for that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Fan raised his hand and delivered a fiery punch!
A fist filled with cyan flames, gathering into countless cyan fire dragons!
This punch was incredibly powerful and ferocious!
The moment that punch was unleashed, it was almost devastating!
"Boom!!"
"Splash!!!"
Lu Nian reacted quickly, but he ultimately underestimated the power of Mo Fan's punch. The punch shattered his rock barrier, and he was sent flying several meters across the ground by the impact of the fire wave!
"No, this is impossible! How could you possess such power?!"
Lu Nian endured the pain and got up, his face filled with disbelief. How could a twenty-year-old boy, who should be weak at that age, be so strong?
Back in the desolate city, he could still decide Mo Fan's fate at will, but... how much time has passed?
"So why did you come looking for me at this time? Are you just rushing to your death?" Mo Fan said with a sigh, his hand still burning with flames.
"No, I can't!"
Lu Nian couldn't accept it; he was on the verge of a mental breakdown!
How could he accept such an outcome?
"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"
Instantly, the power of earth element began to converge towards Lu Nian.
However, before he could finish gathering his earth elemental power, Mo Fan had already thrown a cyan fire lotus at him.
Normally, the speed at which Lu Nian describes the higher-level constellations is not slow, but for some reason, it is extremely slow today.
The moment he saw the azure fire lotus, he finally understood that it was a domain!
Mo Fan has already acquired the power of a domain!
This kid's growth has reached an unimaginable pace.
Lu Nian also possessed magical artifacts, which he immediately put on. However, the moment the azure fire lotus enveloped him, he felt an incredibly scorching heat!
"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"
The flames roared violently, and finally exploded with a loud 'bang'!
The blue flames scattered and crashed in all directions, the roar deafening!
The magical artifacts on Lu Nian's body were instantly shattered, and when the fire wave ended, he was blasted away by the air currents from it.
"Plop!"
His armor and magical artifacts had shattered under the bombardment of the fire lotus, leaving Lu Nian covered in charred patches. At this moment, he knew he was finished.
But in his dying moments, he recalled the past.
In those days, Lu Nian and his comrades fought desperately against all sorts of demons and monsters across the land. The days of slaying demons were always filled with danger and uncertainty, but Lu Nian never flinched. He knew deeply that as the commander of the Wei forces, his responsibility was to protect the safety of this land and its people.
In this magical world, there are also sorrowful melodies. As his comrades fell one by one in the battle against demons, their eyes losing their light, their bodies growing cold, Lu Nian felt a tearing pain in his heart. Tears welled in his eyes, but he knew he couldn't fall. He had to avenge his comrades and protect the land they loved so dearly.
Those sorrowful moments were like a silent storm, sweeping through Lu Nian's heart.
But it was precisely these sorrows that made him cherish his friendship with his comrades even more and strengthened his resolve. He understood that only by experiencing pain and sorrow could one truly appreciate the joyful and exhilarating moments.
Between battles, they would sit together, raise their glasses, and drink heartily. Those drinks were filled with the laughter and tears of their comrades, bearing witness to their friendship and growth.
Lu Nian still remembers those days, which, though difficult, were the most precious time of his life.
However, he also knew that humanity's current strength was no match for demons. Even a single large group posed a significant threat to human cities.
By chance, he came across an experiment conducted by one of Wei Fang's top experts.
At that time, Lu Nian witnessed the power of human mages for the first time, though it was temporary and irrational. But does any innovation in magic not require sacrifice?
Ironically, this plan is about to be terminated because of the sacrifice of a mere hundred or so people!
This was something Lu Nian could not tolerate, so he resigned from his position as commander of the guards and, with a group of loyal subordinates, set his sights on Mo Fan.
Looking back on the past.
In his final moments, Lu Nian asked himself, "Was I really wrong?"
It's not about whitewashing him; you can see from the scene with the female officer that they were indeed Wei Fashi. They just chose the wrong path.
Moreover, it is undeniable that without Lu Nian's investment, Mo Fan would have been in trouble countless times.
This can be seen as Lu Nian making his last contribution.
