The aftermath of the explosion still lingered; Su Changxing had already fled the scene swiftly, heading northeast, with no intention of returning to Donglin City.

Their target was clearly Donglin City; they wanted to capture it, but Su Changxing was unclear about their specific purpose.

"Quite bold!"

A sudden thought locked him firmly in place.

Turning back,

The wizard, dragging his broken body, flew horizontally through the sky toward him, half of his head missing, his chest gaping with a large hole, and his left leg broken completely at the thigh, exposing the shattered bone.

A towering flame silently crashed down before Su Changxing from the sky, engulfing his form entirely in its blaze.

The nearby iron tower instantly transformed into molten iron in the inferno.

With just a wave of his hand, he wielded the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Su Changxing’s figure turned into a phantom, activating "Shadow Dissipation," temporarily hiding his body in a layered space to dodge this terrifying blow.

"Hmm? A mere trick!"

The wizard raised his hand; at the moment Su Changxing manifested, a scorching ray swept across from the other side of the highway, carving a trench into the already blackened ground.

A cluster of white feathers exploded in the air.

Su Changxing’s figure vanished from the original spot, dodging the ray and reappearing on the highway not far away.

"Bang~"

A dull gunshot.

The bullet pierced through the smoke, aiming for the wizard’s remaining head, impacting violently at a distance of half a meter, bouncing off.

"You’re quite good. With such weak energy, you can unleash powerful strength; it’s indeed an extraordinary talent."

The wizard stared at Su Changxing, speaking slowly, completely unconcerned about his injuries, exuding an air of superiority.

In their eyes, there were no Tier Eight or Tier Nine, just the varying levels of energy fluctuations, generally categorized only into Apprentice Wizard, Wizard, Great Wizard, and Wizard King.

And he was a Great Wizard, standing above the majority of wizards, not far from becoming a Wizard King.

Su Changxing felt exceptionally heavy, somewhat at a loss, unable to outrun or outfight him. The opponent was like a towering mountain, seemingly without a flaw to him.

This seemed like a dead end.

He stared intensely at the opponent, silently building up the power of "Gunfire Judgment," preparing for one last desperate struggle.

The wizard raised his arm, pointing a finger at the sky, his voice resonating through the space: "Let me grant you an honorable death; wounding me to this extent is your privilege, worthy of pride... Fire Rain!"

Specks of flame, like rain, descended from the sky, covering every bit of the area over ten miles in radius.

Simultaneously, Su Changxing also pulled the trigger at the wizard.

Thirtyfold Concentration!

A black line pierced through the darkness and the fire rain, penetrating the wizard’s defenses.

"Bang~"

The wizard extended his battered palm, caught the bullet, and threw it back, tracing the same straight path, its speed undiminished.

Su Changxing sidestepped, dodging the oncoming bullet, desperately running backward, fragments of images flashing through his mind; he saw himself tragically dying amidst the fire rain.

His body once more became a phantom as he temporarily hid in the layered space.

The fire rain abruptly intensified, transforming the surroundings into a world of flames, magma flowing on the ground, and dense fire rain falling from the sky.

Once he stepped out again, it would be his end; the White Feather Flashing couldn’t escape the range of the fire rain.

"Ah!!"

Su Changxing’s skin came into contact with the fire rain, starting to melt rapidly; just a single drop could burn into his bones, taking mere seconds to reduce him to ashes.

Suddenly, the sound of his roar vanished.

Su Changxing seemed to have melted away in the fire rain.

"Hmm, disappeared?"

Meeting with the wizard, Richie’s face showed a surprised expression, sensing Su Changxing’s presence was gone.

"There seems to be a trace of spatial fluctuation, but it’s very faint... "

He recalled for a moment, then a solemn expression appeared on his face; someone had taken Su Changxing right under his nose with great skill, almost undetected.

Yet, the other party did not directly attack him, which was odd.

······

In a daze, Su Changxing saw countless streams of data passing by him, each distinctly different, composed of strings of characters with unknown meanings.

Before taking action, he had received guidance from the Doomsday Game, allowing him to perform tasks in a designated world for one day.

This was one of the reasons he dared to confront such a powerful wizard face-on.

Fortunately, despite unexpected events, nothing too severe occurred, at least he was still alive.

"So painful!"

Su Changxing lay on the grass, gasping for breath, his entire body extensively burnt, with a large part of his skull gone.

The ability of the "Lizardman" allowed his flesh to regrow rapidly, bringing a wave of cooling sensation throughout, and even a slight relief from extreme pain felt soothing.

The phone vibrated continuously, popping up with numerous messages.
