Chapter 70 A 'Gift' for the Dead Tree
"Heh, we'll see if you can escape or not after you try." Jiang Han said, then retreated rapidly, putting distance between himself and the Black Vatican members.
Mo Fan also took the opportunity to retreat towards the edge of the playground. After the battle just now, he and Jiang Han had almost exhausted their magical energy. Staying would only cause trouble for Jiang Han, so it was better to leave directly.
"Go, leave these two rats here," Kumu said in a hoarse voice.
As the sound of the withered wood faded, six black-clad priests simultaneously unleashed spells at Jiang Han, including fire spells, lightning seals, ice vines, and raging waves.
Boom boom boom!! Various spells struck Jiang Han's left arm, the Thunder Dragon Armguard, but caused him no damage. The spells were directly absorbed by the Armguard without causing any ripples.
"What? Our magic was absorbed by that arm guard?"
"What an amazing defensive magical artifact."
"·····"
Even the wrinkled, withered tree greedily eyed the bluish-purple wristband on Jiang Han's arm. It could easily withstand various low-level magic spells, and such a defensive magical artifact was quite expensive. If it could be sold on the black market, it should fetch a lot of money.
"Boy, I'll give you a chance to live. If you can hand over the bracer on your left arm, I might spare your life," Kumu said in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Han curled his lip in disdain and said, "Give it to me? You think you're worthy? See that guy fighting Yi Canglang? That's my father. If you dare lay a hand on me, he'll definitely not let you off." Jiang Han pointed at Jiang Kun, who was fighting Yi Canglang above the Yinmao Building, looking extremely arrogant.
"You all want to stop? I'd like to see what you're up to." Kumu raised his hand, signaling the black-clad priests to stop.
"My lord..." Yu Ang had just opened his mouth to say something when he was startled by Ku Mu's cold glance and quickly shut his mouth, afraid of angering the blue-robed deacon, since he was just a black-robed priest and his status was far lower than Ku Mu's.
Jiang Han mentioned Jiang Kun to put pressure on Ku Mu and the others, giving him a chance to recover his magic power. After all, he had been greatly depleted in the previous battles, and if he didn't recover some magic power, he and Mo Fan might be left here.
Just as Jiang Han was stalling for time, Mo Fan retreated back to the playground in a sorry state. Before Jiang Han could ask him anything, four people walked over from outside the playground.
"Damn it, I didn't expect there were people waiting for me outside." Mo Fan cursed as he retreated to Jiang Han's side.
Jiang Han whispered, "Help me buy some time. Once I recover some of my magic power, we might have a chance to escape."
Mo Fan gave Jiang Han a "98K" sign, then said to Yu Ang, "Hey, Yu Ang, I have a question for you. When did you join the Black Vatican? How are your benefits? Do you get social insurance and housing fund benefits, weekends off, etc.? And does the Black Vatican provide you with cultivation resources?"
Yu Ang glanced at the withered tree, and seeing that the tree had its eyes closed and was unresponsive, he said, "Why are you asking this? You should just give your last words. You and Jiang Han will definitely not leave this playground today."
"Then why haven't you made a move yet?" Mo Fan said with a chuckle.
"You..." Yu Ang choked, his face turning quite pale.
He was punished by the adults because of Mo Fan. Otherwise, Mo Fan might have already completed the adults' task, and that old bastard Mu Zhuoyun might have appreciated him even more, perhaps giving him a chance to marry Mu Ningxue. But! All of this was ruined by that bastard Mo Fan. It's all Mo Fan's fault; he truly deserves to die.
The more Yu Ang thought about it, the more he wanted to kill Mo Fan, but since Ku Mu hadn't spoken, he didn't dare to make a move.
Kumu sized up Jiang Han, then looked at the battle raging above the Yinmao Building. High-level mages, indeed.
He was just a mid-level mage, and fighting a high-level mage would be suicide. However, the defensive magic item in Jiang Han's hand was indeed quite good, and he was really reluctant to give it up.
"The Thunder Dragon Armguards only have 78% energy stored, still a long way off. If I stored enough energy, who would bother with that old guy's nonsense? I would have used a high-level lightning spell to physically exorcise them long ago." Jiang Han thought to himself as he silently recovered his mana.
With the system's cultivation space, Jiang Han's cultivation speed and magic energy recovery speed are far beyond what ordinary people can match. During the time that the ice nebula hesitated in the withered tree, most of the magic energy was recovered. If it weren't for the time constraint, Jiang Han might have waited until the magic energy was fully recovered before taking action.
The inky black Snow Dragon Blade appeared in Jiang Han's hand, and then with lightning speed, he swung out two dark blue ice blades at the four black-clad priests guarding the entrance to the playground. With the dual enhancement of the Spirit Seed Ice and the Snow Dragon Blade, the four black-clad priests were dealt with before they could react.
"Mo Fan, let's go." Jiang Han said and rushed out of the playground first.
Jiang Han's move was too swift. Ku Mu and Yu Ang did not expect Jiang Han to make a sudden move. Therefore, by the time they reacted, Jiang Han and Mo Fan had already rushed out of the playground.
The entire Mingwen Girls' High School was very large. Not long after Jiang Han and Mo Fan escaped from the playground, Ku Mu, along with Yu Ang and the remaining six black-clad priests, chased after them. Ku Mu had just seen the four black-clad priests that Jiang Han had dealt with; they were all covered in frost and frozen into ice sculptures.
"Kid, looks like you've got some good stuff on you." Kumu said sinisterly from behind.
"You absolutely cannot escape, hahaha!" Yu Ang laughed wildly from behind.
Kumu was finally about to attack Mo Fan and Jiang Han, and Yu Ang was quite excited. Jiang Han and Mo Fan dodged Kumu and the others' attacks without slowing down at all, though they looked a bit disheveled.
"Jiang Han, we can't keep running like this. If we run into a demon, we're doomed," Mo Fan said.
After the demon caves throughout Bo City were blown open, servant-level one-eyed demon wolves and giant-eyed blood rats were everywhere. If they slowed down to deal with the demons, they would be caught up by the withered tree, and the consequences would be dire. The two were in a very bad situation.
Just as Jiang Han and Mo Fan rushed out of Mingwen Girls' Middle School, they encountered four or five giant-eyed blood rats feeding. Before entering the school, Jiang Han and Mo Fan had cleared out most of the demons in the vicinity. These rats had just crawled out of the sewers and were gnawing on the mutilated corpses, with blood flowing from their mouths.
"Squeak squeak squeak~" A giant-eyed rat looked up and noticed Jiang Han and Mo Fan, and immediately squeaked.
The giant-eyed rats that were eating all looked over, their scarlet, bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Mo Fan and Jiang Han with longing. Compared to eating corpses, they preferred to eat live animals, after all, they were fresh.
"You run first, I'll leave them a little something." Jiang Han stopped and revealed a strange smile.
"Okay, then hurry up." Mo Fan said and left first.
Mo Fan hadn't expected to encounter demons right after he finished speaking. How unlucky could he be? But since Jiang Han had already said so, he wouldn't linger. After all, his strength was far inferior to Jiang Han's, and staying would only be a burden to Jiang Han.
As soon as Mo Fan left, the four or five giant-eyed blood rats rushed towards Jiang Han. Facing the charging giant-eyed blood rats, Jiang Han smiled disdainfully. A sky-blue starlight flashed on his body, and the surrounding temperature began to drop sharply. Gradually, ice appeared on the street and spread until the giant-eyed blood rats were frozen.
"Ice vines, solidify."
