Chapter 953: I’ve Changed My Mind Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth “Well, well, well, you’re definitely the most daring person I’ve ever met!” Xi Ge burst out laughing, instead of being enraged. The Red Ornaments Guild was an infamous guild in the Caribbean Sea. The officials of many countries had tried to annihilate them many times, but none of them succeeded. The Battlemages that the useless governments of the countries dispatched even suffered huge losses against the Magicians of the Red Ornaments Guild. As such, even the authorities would not dare to step on their toes, let alone other people. Many criminal organizations tried their best to avoid the Red Ornaments Guild, too. But today, their Red Ornaments Guild were being robbed. The news of this was most likely going to shake the entire Caribbean Sea! “Leader, I think the kid is just trying to act tough. I’ll take care of him, and perhaps present him to the fatty. That guy is pretty fond of handsome Asian men, hahaha!” a Magician with blazing red hair spoke up. His face had tattoos of two swords pointing down. Mo Fan glanced at the man and saw him holding two flames in his hands, burning fiercely. “Instead of swords pointing up, you actually have tattoos of swords pointing down. Just go somewhere else and play with your own balls!” Mo Fan shot back mercilessly. He summoned a flame with a snap and tossed it into the chest of the red-haired Magician. {TL Note: Swords pointing downward (xia jian) has the same pronunciation as a term (下贱) that is used to scold people cheap/lowly.} The ordinary-looking fire landed on the man with a huge explosion. The red-haired Magician could not even react in time. His chest was blasted open, and he fell heavily to the ground. Mo Fan knew he was facing a bunch of bandits who would not hesitate to kill. Against people like them, he usually used violence to curb violence without restraint. Once the man’s chest was blasted open, the Rose Flame immediately went into his body and roasted his organs! The other bandits could not offer their assistance in time. The red-haired Magician’s body was soon scorched black. Even the air he coughed out was black. Xi Ge’s eyes widened after seeing that happen. He never thought the young man, who looked to be quite civilized on the surface, would be that cruel, and kill without hesitation. He did not even care that he was up against the fifty of them. Xi Ge was not stupid, and finally realized that the young man was confident in his strength. Otherwise, he would not dare to fight back right in their faces! “That guy is dead, so I guess you can pay four hundred thousand less,” said Mo Fan coldly. Killing the man was like eating a simple meal for him. “Damn it, are you treating the Red Ornaments Guild like livestock? Brothers, let’s kill him!” Xi Ge was now infuriated by Mo Fan’s words. The young man had shown no respect for their Red Ornaments Guild. If they actually paid the ransom, how could they possibly preserve their reputations as the rulers of the Caribbean coast? Xi Ge’s men were already on the verge to make Mo Fan pay for what he had done. Frost, fire, wind, and blinding light were fired at him simultaneously. The projectiles landed close to Mo Fan and Jiang Shaoxu, a gust mixed with various Elements sweeping around them. “I’ll keep an eye on the Intermediate Magicians for you. Go ahead and take the shrimps out first,” Jiang Shaoxu said. Jiang Shaoxu’s eyes flickered as she unleashed the energy pulse of Psychic Impact. She was able to pinpoint the Magicians that were drawing Star Patterns among the Red Ornaments Guild. It would be extremely impressive if any Magician could draw a Star Orbit in the face of her interference, let alone finish a Star Pattern! The Psychic Impact spread further and interrupted the channeling of Star Patterns. The only attacks that came at them were Basic Spells. A Basic Spell was no longer enough to pose any threat to Mo Fan, and were at best only cast with ordinary Soul Seeds. Their damage was nothing close to Mo Fan’s Fire Burst! “Trying to take care of me with such strength?” Despite facing lots of Basic Spells pouring down at him, Mo Fan did not even feel the need to cast a defensive spell. He took a step backward and easily evaded the vines approaching him from underground, then jumped slightly to his left and dodged a fireball with ease. “Try dodging my lightning! Lightning Strike!” an arrogant Lightning Magician yelled. Mo Fan did not even show the slightest hint of surprise when he saw the lightning coming down at him. It was like he could fully predict the angle and location of the Lightning Strikes. Apart from an Ice Spread that could slow him down slightly, none of the Basic Spells managed to do any harm to him. The Magicians of the Red Ornaments Guild looked at Mo Fan as if he were a monster. They could not comprehend the strange scene that was taking place. They never heard of anyone agile enough to dodge so many spells without the help of magic! The Magicians of the Red Ornaments Guild were not too bad, but in the eyes of a maniac like Mo Fan, they were simply too weak. Even against thousands of demon creatures, Mo Fan was able to stand his ground, let alone facing a group of Basic Magicians! Besides, it turned out that these Basic Magicians were quite ignorant, too. They were unaware of the pulsating space around Mo Fan. As their spells went through the pulsating space, their speed actually slowed down quite a lot. Because of Space Rhythm: Time Stasis, the spells were incredibly slow in Mo Fan’s eyes, allowing him to dodge them with ease. “I’ll show you true lightning!” Mo Fan locked his gaze on the arrogant Lightning Magician. Lightning arcs flickered fiercely in Mo Fan’s hand. Its presence was incredibly impressive, even though it was only a Basic Spell. Over a hundred lightning arcs appeared around Mo Fan. They combined into a thick, long lightning whip under Mo Fan’s outstanding control. The lightning whip lashed forward and landed on the Lightning Magician. The Lightning Magician immediately jerked violently as the strong current flowed through his body. His organs exploded from the overwhelming energy as his body was scorched black. Mo Fan’s Lightning Strike was around seven times stronger than the Lightning Strike of an ordinary Magician. First of all, it was a fourth-tier Lightning Strike. Second, he had a Lightning Soul Seed. Third, his control had improved after reaching the Advanced Level. The lightning whip that was six times stronger than a normal Lightning Strike was almost as powerful as an Intermediate Spell. The Lightning Magician had only mastered the second-tier Lightning Strike. He had no chance standing against Mo Fan. Another Magician was killed instantly by Mo Fan, with only a mere Basic Spell. “Are you seriously so poor despite what you all do as a living? I really feel sorry for you, I’ve already given you quite a bargain,” said Mo Fan. The people of the Red Ornaments Guild clenched their teeth. Their leader, Xi Ge glanced around him and realized that none of the Intermediate Magicians were attacking. He immediately yelled at them, “Kill him now, what the heck are you all doing? Kill him!” “Leader, that woman is a Psychic Magician. We can’t use our Intermediate Spells!” an Intermediate Magician shouted. There were around ten Intermediate Magicians in the group. After all, they had to be prepared if the government had dispatched another batch of Battlemages to hunt them down. However, none of them had managed to cast a spell in front of a powerful Psychic Magician. They even began to wonder if they had forgotten how to use magic completely under the influence of the Psychic Impact! “Are you seriously trying to draw a complete Star Pattern with that speed?” Jiang Shaoxu laughed disdainfully. The Magicians were extremely slow at casting Intermediate Spells. Jiang Shaoxu could easily interrupt the process with Psychic Impact. She had no problem keeping an eye out on the ten Intermediate Magicians on her own. “A bunch of useless plebes!” cursed Xi Ge. In the end, he had to do the dirty work himself. A lunar-white glow burst out of Xi Ge’s body, and his robe drifted despite the absence of wind. A moment later, a Contracted Seal appeared in front of Xi Ge, out of which leapt a lizard with huge limbs. As it stood upright, its body was as tall as the aged tree in the village. Its black, reflective scales had a metallic gloss to them. Its head, neck, and tail were covered in spikes. The creature looked rather intimidating when the spikes fully rose up. The villagers had never seen a creature like it. It was ten times, or even a hundred times scarier than the sea monsters they had encountered in the past. It looked like the creature could eat a few of them alive with a single bite! The Snake Lizard Monster stared down at the villager and hissed greedily. Many women immediately screamed and fainted. The Snake Lizard Monster turned to Mo Fan. It had received the order from its master to eat the Asian instead! The Snake Lizard Monster had eaten many humans alive, both white-skinned and dark-skinned, but it had never eaten one with black eyes and yellow skin. The anticipation of tasting a new kind of food gave the creature a strong appetite. The Snake Lizard Monster slowly lowered its neck. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶 “Piss off!” Mo Fan snapped imperiously, his voice containing a strong hint of deterrence. The space shuddered. A strong energy struck the head of the Snake Lizard Monster, knocking its long head to the side, and almost broke its neck. The Snake Lizard Monster turned its head back forcibly and uttered a furious roar at Mo Fan. It was obvious that the creature was about to spit out some poisonous liquid at Mo Fan. Mo Fan did not give the creature any chance to spit out the poison. He leapt into the air while his fist burst into flames in midair. He violently threw the fist at the Snake Lizard Monster’s throat. A fierce fiery dragon surged right down the Snake Lizard Monster’s throat. The fiery dragon erupted inside the throat of the Snake Lizard Monster and set everything above its body aflame. Mo Fan’s flames would not die easily. It continued to spread from the creature’s throat to its chest through its esophagus. The fiery dragon was unstoppable, triggering a series of explosions inside the creature’s body. The hapless Snake Lizard Monster’s body eventually reached its limit, and exploded into pieces! Bloody, steaming rain poured down across the place as scorched hunks of meat scattered on the ground. The seemingly-fierce Snake Lizard Monster was blasted into pieces by a single punch! When Mo Fan landed on the ground, the bandits and the villagers were overwhelmed with shock and fear! How was a young Magician that looked so normal on the surface even scarier than the Snake Lizard Monster that is over ten meters tall?! “I’ve changed my mind. You will have to pay me at least sixty million for me to spare your lives! I did mention that I’m less patient than you!” Mo Fan declared coldly. Mo Fan stomped the ground, producing a ring of flames on the ground. The fire spread rapidly, as if a dragon was breathing down flames in front of the crowd. The people did not even dare to breathe heavily!
