Chapter 1073
The Suddenly Appearing Mage
Upon hearing Mo Fan's words, Jiang Feng shook her head without hesitation, raised her arm made of flames in a guarding posture, and clearly expressed her refusal.
The Fire Calamity Fruit is related to the birth of the newborn Flame Princess, and it is also her duty to guard this place. It must not be taken away by anyone easily.
Seeing that Yan Ji refused, Chen Ying's anxiety reached its peak.
She gritted her teeth and, while Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were still trying to communicate, and Yan Ji seemed to be paying more attention to Mo Fan.
Holding the ice-blue dagger directly, he sprinted towards the most dazzling Fire Calamity Fruit on the Starry Sky Tree!
"Chen Ying! Don't be impulsive!"
Zhao Manyan was shocked.
He never expected his cousin to be so reckless.
"Oops!"
Mo Fan had not expected Chen Ying to act so suddenly.
When Jiang Feng saw her daughter rushing directly towards the Fire Calamity Fruit, she almost instinctively unleashed her own fiery pressure.
It wasn't for attacking, but to create a barrier of fire to block Chen Ying.
But to Chen Ying, Mo Fan, and the others, her actions seemed like an outburst of anger!
Flame Princess is going to attack Chen Ying!
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan instantly entered battle mode, and magical light began to shine.
"It's all her fault that Mom turned into that inhuman, ghost-like state!"
Chen Ying felt the surging flames behind her, and her hatred for Yan Ji in front of her intensified.
Instead of backing down, she pushed her "motherhood" to its extreme.
A layer of icy blue energy enveloped her entire body. Sensing the temperature drop around her, she moved even faster, her eyes fixed on the fruit that was so close at hand, a symbol of her mother's hope for recovery.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng was in a great inner struggle.
She already knew the whole story, but her daughter didn't!
"Stop! Stop it now!"
Jiang Feng was overwhelmed by endless pain and anxiety.
She could easily stop Chen Ying, or even subdue her.
But even the slightest leakage of her monarch-level power would burn her daughter's body.
She was even more afraid that intense confrontation would backfire on Chen Ying.
This fear of harming the innocent and the immense grief she couldn't express caused even the flame barrier she had created to fluctuate unstablely.
She could only futilely emit more urgent, pleading roars of flame, trying to convey "danger" and "no" in this way, but to Chen Ying, it was just a terrifying roar of a demon.
Suddenly, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
On one side is her daughter, determined to make a final push, yet burdened by deep misunderstandings.
On one side is a powerful yet hesitant and heartbroken mother.
There were also two young men standing nearby, on high alert and ready to rescue their companion at any moment.
far away.
Fu Ye and Lingling were quietly observing all of this.
The final choice rests with Jiang Feng.
Just as Jiang Feng's entire mind was preoccupied with her daughter Zhao Chenying's reckless sprint and her heart was in turmoil and turmoil.
"Let's do it!"
Several suppressed growls suddenly rang out from the shadows and rock crevices on the other side of the Starry Sky Tree! Several eerie figures, already poised to strike, shot out like ghosts, their targets crystal clear.
It wasn't an attack on anyone, but rather the Fire Calamity Fruit behind Yan Ji, which had been temporarily left undefended due to Jiang Feng's attention being completely drawn away!
These people were clearly well-trained and worked together seamlessly.
One person unleashed a high-level wind magic spell, Wind Wings, and swept past at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, another person threw several disruptive smoke grenades and flashbangs, and the blinding light and dense smoke instantly enveloped the area near the fruit.
Another person unleashed a large swath of shadow vines with a paralyzing effect, not to harm the enemy, but simply to hinder any possible interception from any direction.
Her combat instincts, stemming from her high-level mage status, allowed her to detect the energy anomaly to her side and rear at the last moment.
But she poured all her senses and energy into Chenying.
But this sudden theft caught her completely off guard!
He wanted to turn around and intercept, but because he was worried about Chen Ying not far ahead, he was a beat too slow. There was an unavoidable delay in the retraction of the flame barrier and the conversion of the attack.
Even in that split second of delay, the fastest figure in the wind had already taken advantage of the smoke and flashes of light for cover.
It precisely caught the most dazzling Fire Calamity Fruit and pulled hard!
"Got it! Let's get out!"
The wind mage, having succeeded in his attack, didn't linger. With a low roar, he used the remaining momentum of his wind wings to speed off in a pre-planned direction, away from Mo Fan and the others, as well as Yan Ji!
The other mages responsible for providing cover also immediately scattered and fled in different directions, clearly a planned strategy of dispersed retreat to maximize the difficulty of pursuit.
"Roar--!!!"
A roar of flames, a mixture of rage, self-reproach, and panic, soared into the sky!
Flames suddenly erupted around Jiang Feng, who had transformed into Yan Ji, and the terrifying heat wave instantly evaporated all the surrounding smoke.
She could no longer maintain her previous relative restraint.
Overwhelming guilt and fear of the unknown consequences instantly overwhelmed his extreme worry about his daughter's current state.
Without any hesitation, Yan Ji's figure transformed into a scorching crimson meteor, tearing through the air with a deafening roar, as she chased after the wind mage who was the fastest to flee with the fruit!
When a monarch-level speed is unleashed at full power, the speed is astonishing.
Everything happened so fast, from the sneak attack to the successful attack to Yan Ji's furious pursuit, it all happened in just a few breaths.
Zhao Chenying had just rushed close to the Starry Sky Tree, and before she could even reach out and touch anything, she was stunned by the sudden explosion, flash, smoke, and then Yan Ji's ferocious pursuit.
She stumbled, looking at the empty spot where the fruit had been, then at the direction where Yan Ji had disappeared, her mind a complete mess.
"What happened? The fruit was stolen? Yan Ji... went after it? Wasn't it guarding the fruit? What happened?"
The expected target suddenly disappeared, and the enemy's attention shifted instantly, leaving her fully charged punch feeling like it hit thin air, leaving her momentarily at a loss.
But deep down, her obsession with bringing back the fruit as promised to her "mother" made her anxious again.
"What will Mom do if the fruit is gone?"
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were also caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
They were just on high alert, preparing for the possible reaction of Yan Ji to Chen Ying.
Damn! A classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? Who are these people? Their methods are so professional!
Mo Fan watched helplessly as the Fire Calamity Fruit was stolen, his heart bleeding.
But seeing the terrifying speed at which Yan Ji suddenly burst forth to pursue, he was secretly astonished.
This Flame Princess is indeed no match for its strength; it just chased after us like that? Leaving us and Chenying here all alone?
It seems it values its fruit more than we imagined... Is now our chance? (End of Chapter)
