The spear formed from flames shook and trembled, turning into clusters of flames that left and disappeared.

Ricks glanced at Annie with a solemn expression and turned his gaze to a house behind her.

“Where is Ye Tian? Since he dared to kill my disciple, does he think that he can escape by hiding now? Ye Tian, come out and die!”

“With me around, I won’t let you disturb Ye Tian.”

After the first attack failed, Annie mobilized her magic power again to prepare for the second spell.

This time, the commotion was even greater. Countless flames gathered from all directions as if they were about to condense into larger and thicker flaming spears.

At this moment, Ricks glanced at her impatiently. Then, he raised his right hand and waved gently at Annie.

Boom.

There was a distance of five to six meters between them, but Annie seemed to have been hit by something invisible. Her entire body was sent flying, and she was forced to stop casting her magic halfway.

There was a hole in the wall of the courtyard. Annie lay on the gravel and barely supported her body. She could not help but spit out blood.

At this moment, Ricks’ cold gaze landed and he said coldly, “The difference between a Great Mage and a Magister is like the difference between heaven and earth. Do you really think you can stop me? Since Ye Tian is unwilling to appear, I’ll kill you first!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent wind suddenly blew in this area and gathered above Ricks’ head, instantly condensing into a huge dark green blade.

With a thought from Ricks, the wind blade shot towards Annie at an extremely fast speed.

Broken dust was blown up. Annie’s hair was flying, and her facial muscles were slightly deformed. She felt as if she was pressed to the ground by a powerful pressure and could not move. She could only watch as the wind blades approached.

‘Am I going to die?’

A thought flashed across Annie’s mind as memories of her time with Ye Tian flashed before her eyes.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of Annie. This figure did not look thick, but it gave Annie a sense of security.

Facing the wind blades, Ye Tian casually raised his hand. Under Ricks’ incredulous gaze, he easily blocked the trembling wind blades with two fingers.

The wind blade that seemed to be able to tear through everything was caught between Ye Tian’s fingers. With two fingers together, the wind blade turned into a breeze that blew the black hair on Ye Tian’s forehead and disappeared.

Raising his head calmly, Ye Tian looked straight at the figure in midair.

“You’re Todd Lagren’s master? The mage from the Upper Realm?”

Ricks was also sizing Ye Tian up. He did not expect Ye Tian to be so young. It had been decades since his disciple died, but Ye Tian had not aged at all.

There must be a secret on him!

Even in the Upper Realm, Ricks rarely saw someone like Ye Tian. For a moment, greed appeared in his eyes.

He said, “No wonder you could kill Todd. If I had met you before, I might have taken you in as my disciple. Unfortunately, it was too late.”

As expected of a master and disciple. How interesting.

Hearing Ricks’ words, Ye Tian couldn’t help but smile. The other party’s unreserved aura made it obvious at a glance that he had just broken through to the Magister realm.

However, Ye Tian was already a nine-star Magister.

Under such circumstances, Ricks would be dreaming if he wanted to kill him.

Ye Tian ignored Ricks and checked on Annie first.

Ricks had clearly not used his full strength in the previous attack. Annie’s internal organs had only suffered some impact, but she had not suffered any serious injuries.

This made Ye Tian feel much more at ease. He then turned around and walked to the same height as Ricks as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase.

“You want to kill me? Are you sure you’re not joking?”

Layers of magical aura erupted from Ye Tian’s body. At first, Ricks could still maintain his expression, but as his aura approached the Magister, his brows slowly furrowed.

When Ricks sensed Ye Tian’s Magister aura, he could no longer control himself and exclaimed in shock,

“Impossible, how can you be a Magister? You’ve only cultivated for a short period of time, and this is the Lower Realm. How can you become a Magister so quickly!”

Others might not know, but Ricks came from the Upper Realm, so he naturally knew very well. The magical aura in this world was very poor. It was very difficult to break through to the Great Mage realm through cultivation unless one had excellent talent and aptitude.

Magisters were considered to be of medium strength in the Upper Realm and were not very common.

In the lower realms, even if a Magister appeared, he would not look as young as Ye Tian.

Faced with Ricks’ reaction, Ye Tian’s expression remained the same as he said calmly, “If you have any last words, hurry up and say them.”

Ricks snorted, “How arrogant. There’s also a difference between a Magister from the Upper Realm and a Magister from the Lower Realm. I’ll let you experience it today!”

“Great God of Darkness, your humble servant Ricks…”

As the incantation was chanted, the light in the sky behind Ricks seemed to be devoured. It turned pitch-black all of a sudden, and a door could be vaguely seen.

This was the door to summoning dark creatures. Once it was opened, dark creatures from another world would descend. These dark creatures did not have any sense of pain or intelligence. They only knew how to destroy. Moreover, they had extremely strong infection and assimilation abilities.

In the Upper Realm, as long as anyone dared to learn such a forbidden spell, they would be hunted down by countless people!

Ye Tian’s knowledge was limited and he did not understand the specific meaning of the incantation. However, his powerful senses could sense that the danger was increasing.

‘I can’t let him finish this spell!’

At that moment, Ye Tian made a decision. He charged towards Ricks and flames and frost appeared on his body.

The red and blue intersected, and the flames and frost actually fused against common sense. Then, a powerful force erupted, causing Ye Tian to crash into Ricks like a cannonball.

At this moment, a barrier appeared between the two of them.

Ye Tian continued to increase the output of his magic power and gradually closed the distance between him and Ricks. He could already see the door covered in complicated patterns.

The door seemed to be made of some kind of metal and Ricks struggled to push it. He looked at Ye Tian, who was shrinking in distance, and bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out blood.

The blood did not fall. Instead, it floated towards the door. Immediately, an extremely evil aura seeped out from the crack in the door.

“Hahaha, you can’t stop it!”

Feeling the strong pulling force behind him, Ricks smiled.

At this moment, Ye Tian immediately mobilized Peyroux’s Heart. His ice and fire spears instantly expanded and pierced through the barrier, piercing Ricks.

Ricks’ magic stopped. He lowered his head in a daze and looked at the big hole in his chest in disbelief.

In the distance, the Monarch arrived late with a group of people, just in time to see the slowly disappearing darkness.
